Chapter Eleven: Investigate Zhao Weining

“No one’s going to pin this on me—not a chance! Just wait and see!” Li Na stormed in, dropped that line, and just as quickly stormed out again.

Meanwhile, Hua Yun returned to the dormitory amidst a sea of sympathetic glances. After drinking a bottle of nutritional supplement, she began packing her things.

Apart from a few courses, Hua Yun would likely remain on Peach Blossom Star for the foreseeable future.

“Yun Yun, are you really planning to go now?” Chen Jiao Jiao was surprised that her friend planned to act so quickly.

“It’s better to start early. You know, this isn’t an easy task,” Hua Yun replied calmly. Moreover, going to a desolate planet would allow her to better explore the fusion of her supernatural powers and mental strength—the effects and specifics she needed to understand more deeply.

Having witnessed the advanced technology of the interstellar era, Hua Yun had only tentatively tested her abilities at first, refraining from frequent use. There were too many familiar faces around, and it was difficult to explain her situation; she needed space.

She was an extremely cautious person. Take her past life, for example—growing rare plants with her powers was no great feat, and she could have become rich overnight. Yet Hua Yun never did. First, it was too hard to explain; second, she lacked confidence in evading the scrutiny of the state apparatus.

She had no desire to be treated like a freak and dissected piece by piece. As for using her abilities to help the country, she had thought about it, but coming from an ordinary background, her social circle was limited. She had no access to higher echelons. She certainly couldn’t just run to the police and claim she had supernatural powers—she might be locked away in a mental hospital instead.

“Be careful, Yun Yun. I’ll come visit whenever I can!” Chen Jiao Jiao said earnestly. She had originally thought about following her friend, but since her own plant purification skills weren’t well-developed, she had taken many related courses. Thankfully, the planet Hua Yun was assigned to wasn’t far from the home star. If she had a break, she could probably make the trip.

“I’ve already asked someone to look into your graduation project. If I find out who tampered with it, I won’t let them off!” Chen Jiao Jiao clenched her tiny fists in determination.

“Thanks so much, Jiao Jiao!” Hua Yun grabbed her friend’s arm. “I’ll go check things out first. If there’s a chance, I’ll come back. After all, I still have classes.”

Humans were social creatures. She couldn’t stay alone on a desolate planet forever—that would only lead to trouble.

As for the person who had framed the original owner of her body, Hua Yun had some suspicions. Lately, she often encountered someone whose photo matched Zhao Wei Ning’s on the school forum.

But the look in his eyes was not affectionate; it was filled with condescension, disdain, even malice.

Hua Yun couldn’t understand what the original owner had done to offend him.

“Jiao Jiao, could you help me look into Zhao Wei Ning? I have a bad feeling about him,” Hua Yun whispered into her friend’s ear. Since she was heading to Peach Blossom Star and Chen Jiao Jiao was her only close friend, she had no choice but to entrust her with this task.

“Huh?” Chen Jiao Jiao was puzzled. “Yun Yun, you’re not...”

“Thinking what?” Hua Yun patted Chen Jiao Jiao’s head, which was small, round, and perfectly curved, framed by a chubby little face. She had long wanted to feel how soft that round head was.

“I just feel he’s hostile towards me. But you know, Jiao Jiao... he’s from the Zhao family, so I can’t investigate him myself. That’s why I have to ask for your help!” Hua Yun blinked playfully.

“What? He actually... Jiao Jiao, wait right here—I’ll ask my brother to help!” Chen Xu Yang was busy and had no idea his sister was dragging him into yet another mess.
