Chapter 759: Schoolmates (1)

Sirius was shocked. He looked at Zhao Youlin with surprise, but he soon felt relieved. He chuckled and did not hide it.

“That’s right. We have known each other for a long time. We were… classmates before.”

Zhao Youlin was slightly surprised. “Classmates? University classmates?”

Sirius shook his head and chuckled. “High school and university classmates.”

“High school?” Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng looked at him in surprise. “You were classmates with him in high school? Then your university…”

“Both of us were sent overseas to study in universities.” Sirius hesitated for a moment and added, “Lin Yan is a competitive person. Be it high school or university, my grades were always better than his. Now… so it’s inevitable that he’s a little…”

Zhao Youlin’s eyes flashed with understanding when she heard that. It seemed like that guy was just jealous. He thought too highly of himself and couldn’t stand to see others living a better life than him. When he saw others living a better life than him, he could not hold it in. He wanted to make others unhappy and drag them down into the dirt with him, hoping he could deceive himself and tell others that he is better than them.

This was similar to those “lunatics” in her family. If they knew that they could not beat her, they drag others down along with them.

“I see.” Zhao Youlin nodded in understanding, and then her eyes turned cold. She changed the topic, “Then, what about the matter of you being expelled from the school because of some major accident?”

Sirius’ expression changed slightly, but he quickly recovered. Although he was a little surprised that Zhao Youlin would suddenly ask about this, he was not shocked beyond words. “You heard it.”

“Can you tell us?”

Sirius looked at the curious and cautious looks of the two of them and knew that if he did not tell the truth today, it would only lead to more difficulties in the future. It was especially so for this man in front of him. From the very beginning, he had been wary of him. If he kept his silence now, it would only raise more questions. This man happened to be a friend that Kirsten cared about.

After thinking about it for a moment… Sirius finally decided to be truthful. “What he said just now was right. I was indeed expelled from the school because of some accidents. But I was not involved in it the way you think…”

As soon as Sirius said this… he was interrupted by Zhao Youlin, “What we think? We never assumed anything. We are simply curious about the chain of events that could cause a top student like you to get mercilessly expelled from the school.”

Sirius was stunned. He raised his head to look at the two of them. After realizing that there was only curiosity in their eyes and nothing else, he secretly cursed himself for overthinking it and heaved a sigh of relief, he continued, “The reason why I was expelled from the school was because my mentor and I were preparing for a very big project. At that time, the project was nearing its end, and we had invested a large amount of experimental funds. However, as long as we were successful, the benefits we would receive from our contributions would be tens or even hundreds of times greater than the investment.”

Zhao Youlin frowned. “What happened after that?”

“After that?” Sirius laughed self-deprecatingly, “Because of some accident, the project was destroyed at the last moment. Not only was it not profitable, but all the funds we invested before were burned to the ground.”

“Because of this, you were expelled from your school?” Zhao Youlin frowned. She felt that this matter sounded very familiar, as if she had heard of it somewhere, but she could not exactly put a finger to it.

Sirius nodded bitterly. Mu Tingfeng looked at him and his eyes moved slightly. He suddenly asked, “Were you really responsible for this accident?”

Sirius was stunned. He widened his eyes and looked at Mu Tingfeng. Zhao Youlin was also stunned when she heard Mu Tingfeng’s question. She turned to Sirius and asked, “Is this accident… not your fault?”

Sirius only regained his senses after a long time. After seeing the probing look in Mu Tingfeng’s eyes, he was somewhat impressed by this man’s insight.

“You guessed right. That accident was really not my fault.”

“Then…”

Sirius closed his eyes. He tried his best to maintain the calm in his voice. “At that time, the main individuals in charge of this project were my mentor and myself. Other than that, there were also a few juniors under the mentor’s name assisting from the side. Among these people, most of them were elites from all over the world. They came from different places, different nationalities, different skin colors, and different languages. One junior happened to be from Shalnork.”

Zhao Youlin raised her eyebrows.

When Sirius said this, his expression suddenly became a little complicated, as if he recalled the scene at that time. “Since he was a fellow countryman, I naturally took more care of him than others, but I didn’t expect…”

Zhao Youlin gasped. “You mean, the real culprit of that accident back then was actually… your junior?”

Sirius nodded with a solemn expression. This was the first time he had mentioned the incident back then to others after leaving that school. It was also the first time he had opened his heart to talk about the situation back then.

It was not that he did not want to mention it to others, but even if he did, no one would be willing to believe it. Not everyone in this world had a heart that could easily tolerate others. There were not many people like Zhao Youlin who were willing to continue listening to his explanation after knowing that he had been expelled from school because of some things.

“That junior is very popular. He also looks very diligent and polite. Everyone in the laboratory liked him very much, including me, of course. Therefore, we were very willing to teach him some things and let him perform experiments with us. It’s just that he’s too impatient. In fact, in the end, I’ve already noticed that he likes to rush to do things in the laboratory. There are some things that he will rush to do, even if we had not given him the green light.”

When Zhao Youlin heard this, she finally couldn’t help but frown. It was good for young people to be ambitious, but there was a prerequisite for them to know what they were capable of. Not only could they not help others, but they would also bring trouble upon others.

Sirius sighed helplessly. “However, I could tolerate that much. Anyone who goes abroad to study with real talent will probably be naturally ambitious. It’s understandable that he would do that. When the tutor watched him, not only did he not blame him, he even believed that he was a hard-working talent.”
