Chapter 279 Moral Kidnapping
"Waishen, why did you come just now?" Ling Chang glanced at his watch, pouted like a nagging woman, and his eyes were filled with resentment.

It was already nine o'clock and Du Ying was half an hour late.

Because she hadn't arrived yet, the other two teams spoke in a sarcastic tone and deliberately excluded and ignored them.

It made him feel very depressed.

The competition project had already reached the final product stage, and the teachers of the special training class did not provide them with much guidance. Most of the time, they let the members of the three teams discuss with each other.

Weekend special training can also be arranged freely.

Ling Chang found it boring and it was a waste of time to be in the classroom with a group of people he disliked.

It would be more comfortable to stay at home!
Du Ying stood at the door of the classroom and saw that everyone from Team 2 and Team 3 were there, and the eight of them formed a small group.

The only members of the team were Ling Chang and Jing Yuhan, who were alone in the corner.

Looking pitiful.

Du Ying looked around and was a little surprised that she didn't see Shen Jue.

"I thought I was the last one to arrive. Has Shen Jue not arrived yet?"

She has already obtained bionic skin and skeleton materials, and applied for a laboratory at school.

Now that all the materials are prepared, the next step is to make the finished product.

According to the competition requirements, all participating teams must go on stage and perform simulated operations, and no one is allowed to take advantage of the situation.

It is absolutely impossible to win without any effort and just rely on others.

If this happens, the entire team will be eliminated.

"Call Shen Jue. We have all the materials ready. Let's wait for him to come and make the finished product together." Du Ying asked Ling Chang to make a video call to Shen Jue and ask him what happened today.

Are you in trouble or sick? Just give me an answer whether you are coming or not.

When Team Two and Team Three heard that Team One had the materials, they all looked envious and jealous.

The frame materials they used were not up to standard. They spent a lot of money on imported materials, but they failed as soon as the testing phase came.

So the members of both teams have been particularly anxious and irritable recently.

Ye Zihe looked conflicted. After thinking for a while, he came over to discuss with Du Ying, "Can you give us some of your materials? I can buy them at three times the price."

The Ye family is considered a small wealthy family in Haicheng, and Ye Zihe usually has a lot of pocket money.

Because of his participation in the competition, the Ye family also rewarded him with an additional 5 million in experimental funds.

So he had some money and could spend a lot of money to buy materials.

Du Ying shook her head and said calmly, "No, we don't have any extra materials."

Because her materials were of "illegal origin", they could not be used in a big way, and it was even more impossible to share them with the other two teams.

Moreover, these materials are top secret versions and cannot be bought with money.

Otherwise she wouldn't have to go through so much trouble searching everywhere.

Ye Zihe was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Du Ying to reject him directly without any hesitation.

He thought she would agree to his request out of respect...

"Xiaoying, we are friends who have been through thick and thin together. Can you help me?" Su Mengqi suddenly asked.

Du Ying glanced coldly at her, this self-righteous "friend".

Who is her friend?
"I know it's not easy for you to find materials, but we are all classmates. Participating in the competition is also to bring honor to the school. If you have information about the source of materials, you can share it."

After Su Mengqi said this, everyone else followed suit.

"Yeah, how can you make a finished product without materials? If you find the materials, shouldn't you hand them over to the school and distribute them uniformly?"

"One team only cares about themselves and doesn't care about the other two teams. This is selfish and has no sense of collective honor."

"Du Ying, collective interests are more important than personal interests. You won't ignore our lives, right?"

Du Ying listened to their chatter and moral blackmail, and immediately laughed. "When you made the finished product, you didn't share the materials, and you were so smug at the time, laughing at our incompetence."

Her tone was calm, without much emotion, and she was just stating a fact.

"You don't share your own things, but you steal other people's things. Who are you selfish about? You are so shameless."

The members of both teams were so embarrassed that their faces turned red and they were speechless.

Du Ying was too lazy to talk any more and returned to his team.

Jing Yuhan handed her a bottle of juice and said coldly, "Don't bother with them. They just want to take advantage of others."

"Take advantage?" Du Ying's eyes turned cold. "If they want my materials, they can only dream about it."

Ling Chang made several video calls to Shen Jue, but the other party hung up every time. "Shen Jue, that bastard, actually dared to refuse my call."

He was annoyed and argued with Shen Jue, and kept calling him.

Du Ying felt a little strange.

Shen Jue received elite education since childhood and has always been the most rule-abiding. He also set an example as the monitor of the experimental class.

He usually comes to class earlier than anyone else, studies seriously, and never is late or leaves early, or skips class without reason.

It's not like him to skip class today without saying anything.

Du Ying had a feeling that something was wrong, so he immediately connected to the fish pond and asked the fish to check what happened to Shen Jue.

Ding--

[Yellow Croaker]: "Your Highness, Master of the Pond, Shen Jue was seriously injured. His face turned into a pig's head and both of his hands were broken. He is recovering at home."

[Loach]: "Yesterday Shen Jue went to see Shen Feng, and the two had an argument, and Shen Feng ordered his men to beat Shen Jue."

[Koi]: "For your information, the direct line of the Imperial Capital Shen family has seven branches. The current head of the Shen family is from the third branch. Shen Feng is the son of the head of the family. Shen Jue is the descendant of the fifth branch of the Shen family. He competed with Shen Feng for the candidate for the young master."

Du Ying understood it all at once.

Shen Jue was Shen Feng's rival. After Shen Feng won the position of young master, Shen Jue became a thorn in his side.

Yesterday, Shen Feng had people beat up Shen Jue just to find fault and teach him a lesson.

However, the two are cousins. Shen Feng is more than ten years older than Shen Jue. He bullies the younger one by taking advantage of his age, which is a bit shameless.

How could such a person become the young master of the Shen family?
Du Ying raised her eyebrows and had a very bad impression of the Shen family.

Shen Jue didn't answer the call in the end. Du Ying's phone received a video of the scene, in which Shen Jue was seen wrapped up like a mummy, with his face so swollen that it was unrecognizable.

She suddenly understood him.

Shen Jue is a very face-conscious person and he certainly doesn't want them to see him in such a miserable state.

Du Ying turned on the video, briefly explained the situation, and told Ling Chang not to call again.

They will go visit him when Shen Jue's condition gets better.

Let him stay at home and recover from his injuries in the next few days.

"Shen Jue is injured, no wonder. My father called me this morning and told me to keep a low profile recently. He said that the fifth wife of the Shen family came to Haicheng."

Ling Chang scratched his disheveled hair and said, "It turns out that her son was beaten. Madam Wu is a member of the Yun family, so she will definitely not let it go."

Du Ying glanced at Ling Chang and said, "You are also a member of the Yun family. What is your relationship with Madam Shen Wu?"

"In terms of seniority." Ling Chang deliberately kept people in suspense, "She is my distant cousin."

Jing Yuhan was a little surprised. "So, Shen Jue is a generation younger than you and is your nephew? Why didn't you mention this relationship before?"

Ling Chang rolled his eyes. "Are nephews rare? There are tens of thousands of people in the Yun family, and I have hundreds of nephews. It's not worth mentioning!"

"..."

I have been scanning the rankings these days and can’t stop reading.

I'll update this chapter first, and then write the next one later.
