After Mistakenly Binding The Matchmaker System

Chapter 90

The one who stopped Li Heyuan was a boy with dyed brown hair, dressed in a punk style, with shiny silver earrings on his earlobes. His eyes were contemptuous, obviously not putting Li Heyuan in his eyes.

Li Heyuan stepped aside, not wanting to play childish games with these people. Li Shu had told him he was going abroad today, and he wanted to go back as soon as possible, maybe he could see that person.

His attitude made the punk boy think he was afraid, and his tone became more arrogant: “Our Brother Li is from the Li family, it’s your honor to see him. What, are you scared?”

“I have other matters,” Li Heyuan said calmly. “Please move aside.”

“You!” The punk boy had been dissatisfied with this new student for a long time. Just because he was surnamed Li, he acted like he was from a prominent family. But the girls in the class liked this kind of attitude, following him as if they had been given ecstasy soup, never getting tired of his cold looks.

They said an aloof academic tyrant should be like this, unmoved by external things. Even the goddess he had been chasing for many days fell into the arms of someone else in the blink of an eye. He had disliked Li Heyuan for a long time.

When he heard that Li Zixuan was going to trouble someone, he eagerly came over to “invite” him. He couldn’t wait to see Li Heyuan embarrassed.

“Li Heyuan, don’t lose face, come with me.”

Li Heyuan felt annoyed, and his eyes darkened: “I said, move aside.”

“Hey, I’m talking to you…” The punk boy reached out to grab Li Heyuan, “Don’t refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit.”

His face was smug, as if he could already see Li Heyuan being caught and embarrassed by him. The smile on his face was almost uncontrollable. However, the other party sidestepped effortlessly, easily avoiding his hand.

The punk boy’s hand remained stretched outward, the smile on his face frozen. There was a moment of confusion in his eyes, as if wondering how he missed. Then his confusion turned into anger. “You dare to dodge?!”

Li Heyuan didn’t say anything, just glanced at him sideways, as if asking: Why shouldn’t I dodge?

The punk boy’s face turned red and white, unable to refute. He thought Li Heyuan wouldn’t embarrass him at such a time, and didn’t think about why Li Heyuan would care about saving his face?

Li Heyuan didn’t want to get entangled with him any longer and asked, “This classmate, can I leave now?”

The person couldn’t be taken away, so the punk boy glared at Li Heyuan resentfully: “If you don’t go today, you’ll regret it!”

What’s there to regret?

Li Heyuan sneered. He would only regret delaying his meeting with sir for these people. He grabbed his bag and calmly walked past the punk boy.

At this time, there were other students in the school corridor. The punk boy was not easy to deal with, so the students didn’t dare to get too close. Seeing one of the parties involved leave, they were afraid of being targeted by the irritated person, so they dispersed one after another. The punk boy’s eyes burned with anger as they left.

He spat heavily on the ground and glanced fiercely at those who hesitated to leave, then turned and left.

Li Zixuan sat on a large stone in the playground, surrounded by several tall boys. Seeing the punk boy coming, they geared up, eager to teach the person who upset Li Zixuan a lesson.

These people had always been around Li Zixuan, following his words as their absolute principle. They knew that Li Zixuan had taken a liking to a girl, but this girl not only rejected his confession but also quickly confessed to another boy. This was tantamount to rubbing Li Zixuan’s face in the dirt.

Children of this age are most concerned about face. Being treated like this, Li Zixuan was holding back his anger and couldn’t stand it. But he fancied himself a gentleman and didn’t want to make a move on a girl. Since he couldn’t make a move on the girl, he could only regain his dignity from the person the girl liked.

It was easy to find out who the person was. Apart from studying, the students relied on these small gossips to get by. By asking a few more people, the name of the boy the girl liked came out.

Li Heyuan.

This name was mentioned frequently at school, mostly by girls. Girls’ minds are simple. Such a meticulously dressed, clean, aloof young man fit their fantasy of a campus male god. With more discussions, what happened around this young man was no longer a secret.

Moreover, it’s a “big deal” for the school flower to confess her love, whether successful or not, this kind of thing will surely be talked about by everyone.

Not everyone knows Li Heyuan’s true identity. Students only know he’s surnamed Li and has some connection to the Li family. However, the exact relationship between him and the head of the Li family is known by very few.

That’s why when Li Zixuan said he wanted to “talk” to someone, his followers were eager to teach that person a lesson to vent his anger. They thought since Li Zixuan, a proper member of the Li family, didn’t like Li Heyuan, giving him some trouble was justifiable. Even if Li Heyuan had some connection to the Li family, it wouldn’t be significant enough to matter. Offending Li Zixuan, who came from the main branch of the family, would lead to no good outcome. Even if Li Heyuan had a connection to the Li family, or was even a member, it wouldn’t be anything compared to Li Zixuan.

Li Zixuan is the youngest son of the eldest brother of the Li family head. He’s been spoiled since childhood. There was also his elder brother who was very likely to become the next head of the Li family. Who wouldn’t be careful around him? There were many people at school who wanted to get close to the Li family through him. Only Li Heyuan, who had offended Li Zixuan, seemed oblivious to this fact.

They had already imagined how to “entertain” Li Heyuan after he arrived, to make Li Zixuan feel better. But they looked around and saw only the punk boy had come. They continued to wait, but their target didn’t show up.

“Where’s Li Heyuan?” someone asked, voicing everyone’s thoughts.

“He didn’t come,” the punk boy said with an unpleasant expression.

“What? He didn’t come!” A boy in a denim jacket couldn’t believe it. “Did you tell him it was Brother Li looking for him?”

“I did,” reluctantly recalling what happened just now, the punk boy almost couldn’t suppress his anger. He glanced at the person sitting on the giant stone and forced down his anger. “I did, but not only did he not come, he also acted like he didn’t take us seriously.”

“This person,” someone was ignited with anger, “truly doesn’t know what’s good for him. If he doesn’t come after we sent someone to tell him, do we have to make things ugly?”

“Brother Li, let me go. I’ll go and bring that kid to apologize to you for not giving you face.”

Some hotheaded people couldn’t bear to watch and started clamoring to go reclaim their dignity. Li Zixuan looked down at the noisy boys, chuckling softly: “No need. If he doesn’t come today, he will always come to beg me in the future.”

He’s just an adopted son without the blood of the Li family. Does he really think he’s part of the Li family?

Li Heyuan rushed back home, but found that Li Shu was already gone. The house felt empty without him, as if a piece of his heart was missing.

After that day, Li Zixuan’s people didn’t come looking for trouble again. It seemed like everything that happened that day was just his imagination. But Li Heyuan knew that Li Zixuan wouldn’t give up so easily. These past few days of inactivity were just a prelude to something bigger.

The original owner privately funded several laboratories, covering various fields. Among them was one specifically for his condition. Besides that, it also developed some drugs as a cover.

The head of the laboratory was also Chinese and was called Zheng Heshuang. He completed his studies with the original owner’s funding and after that, he stayed in the laboratory, dedicated to researching the original owner’s condition.

This person was completely trustworthy, but the same could not be said to the others in the laboratory. If no one leaked information, how could the people in the Li family know about the deterioration of the original owner’s condition, let alone the exposure of illegal experiments in the laboratory?

Admittedly, the original owner had entertained such thoughts, but those experiments were halted before they even began and were completely abandoned projects. Even if there was no leak from the inside, it was impossible for those in the Li family who had never been in contact with the laboratory to know about them.

The simple truth was that there was a mole in the laboratory.

Li Shu didn’t know whether this mole had always been there or was later bought off by someone. However, it didn’t matter. Li Shu was someone who clearly distinguished right from wrong. If someone did wrong, they did wrong. He wouldn’t forgive their mistakes just because they had their reasons. Of course, the person who suffered substantial harm was the original owner, and Li Shu would not be so shameless as to forgive anyone on behalf of the original owner.

This was also the reason why Li Shu knew the consequences but still came here. He didn’t know if the mole had leaked his medical condition yet. Such a person absolutely couldn’t stay in the laboratory.

Spending money to support someone who would bring various troubles was not something Li Shu was willing to do.

Instead of going to the laboratory immediately, Li Shu returned to his residence here. After the attack that night, he clearly felt his physical functions declining. It was a feeling of helplessness, watching everything unfold without being able to do anything about it.

The original owner’s health deteriorated day by day and the things he wanted to accomplish piled up, alone with the accumulated resentment in his heart. He didn’t understand why fate was so cruel to him. He had never been one to believe in destiny, but at that moment, he had no choice but to believe.

With such a body, Li Shu could guess what the original owner might have thought. In such circumstances, holding onto a lifeline was understandable, but the original owner ultimately couldn’t pass his own test and gave up his original idea. He gave up but someone still remembered him and used this matter to bury him deep in the earth, where he couldn’t rest in peace even after death.

Now, the things that would ruin his reputation hadn’t happened yet. Looking at the plan in his hand, a dark light flashed in Li Shu’s eyes.

This plan was the beginning of the original owner’s downfall. It did give the original owner hope, but this hope tramples on the bottom line of humanity. Once exposed, it would be condemned by everyone, and was something that should never be touched.

There are some bottom lines that even though Li Shu wasn’t human, he wouldn’t easily cross.

The original owner might have succumbed to temptation and wanted to pick the apple in the Garden of Eden, but it was just a momentary impulse. He eventually came to his senses and stopped in time, causing no substantial consequences. But when everything was exposed, others wouldn’t care about these. They would only think that you were wrong to do this, that you violated the psychological bottom line of the vast majority of people, and your serious illness and death were your retribution.

These people often only see part of the truth, and it’s the kind of truth others intentionally let them see, hiding many real and deliberately distorted truths.

“Who proposed this plan?” Li Shu raised the paper in his hand, his expression unreadable.

This was a bright office, clean and neat, with a cold atmosphere throughout. This was Zheng Heshuang’s office in the laboratory funded by Li Shu. Unlike typical business offices, this one not only had desks, chairs, and sofas but also many laboratory supplies and human specimens. The most obvious one was a skeleton by the door.

A complete skeleton with dark eye sockets staring directly at the sofa. If someone was timid, they might cry directly from fright.

The people in the office now obviously weren’t the type to be frightened to tears. As Li Shu’s butler, Klaus often came here and was accustomed to it. As for Li Shu, he had seen all sorts of scenes, so nothing could scare him.

The skeleton was arranged by Zheng Heshuang himself, so naturally it didn’t scare him. The three of them talked cheerfully under the gaze of the skeleton, creating a bizarre scene.

Zheng Heshuang wore a white coat, with a slim figure and pale skin that hadn’t seen sunlight for years. His shoulder-length hair was casually tied back with a hair tie, and he wore silver-framed glasses, fitting the image of a researcher.

He pushed up the glasses on his nose and said in a cold tone, “This is a method proposed by a new researcher. We have discussed it, and this method is feasible.”

“Even if it goes against so-called humanitarianism?” Li Shu raised an eyebrow, his voice slightly colder than usual.

“Boss, what is the goal of our laboratory?” Zheng Heshuang leaned on the desk with both hands, his voice devoid of warmth. “It’s for your illness. The purpose of this laboratory’s existence is for this. You made it clear to me when the laboratory was established, didn’t you?”

“Indeed,” Li Shu remained unmoved by his attitude. “Can you have that person come see me?”

“Does boss mean…” Something flashed in Zheng Heshuang’s eyes under his glasses, and it disappeared before it could be caught. “I understand.”

After saying that, he picked up the office phone and called someone in.

Not long after, there was a knock on the office door. After getting permission, a young man slowly walked in. Also wearing a white coat, this person gave a completely different impression from Zheng Heshuang. He exuded a vibrant energy and didn’t seem like a researcher at all, but more like an undergraduate who hadn’t graduated yet.

It was clear he was nervous. Li Shu pointed to the sofa beside him. “Don’t be nervous, have a seat.”

The young man subconsciously glanced at Zheng Heshuang, and Zheng Heshuang said: “This is the big boss and investor, his surname is Li.”

The young man sat down obediently. He was new here and hadn’t spent much time in this office, let alone seen the big boss. He knew this laboratory was for the big boss, but he didn’t expect the big boss to be so handsome, and also Chinese like him. He couldn’t help but glance up to take another look.

Noticing his subtle movement, Li Shu tapped the table. “Why propose such a plan? Can you explain?”
