My Scheming Little Devil

Professor Du Le said again, "You are only staying here for a few days, so I can’t teach you face-to-face, but that’s fine. With advanced communications, we can have video lessons every day. I’ve organized the content to teach you and put it in a fingerprint drive. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can call me for Q&A."

Jun Yiyi nodded. This was indeed convenient.

In the following days, Jun Yiyi left early and returned late, going to Lily City to handle paperwork.

Yalan was the first country she arrived in in this world, and since she was leaving, she wanted to travel a bit before departing, to relax. After all, the happenings before had tossed her about quite harshly. She needed to gather her energy, take a breather, so she could passionately join the hellish exam army later on.

So after handling affairs, she borrowed a car from the embassy staff. The staff were very enthusiastic, eager to let her use their own cars, even competing to teach her how to control and drive it. Jun Yiyi couldn’t help but marvel at how powerful the identity of the councilman’s daughter was.

Jun Yiyi, having a background in science and engineering, quickly got the hang of it and drove around confidently on her own.

However, today she returned early in the afternoon, arriving at the small villa of the Du Le couple in town.

Walking inside the villa, it was eerily quiet, with the door left open and the place empty. Where did the Du Le couple go?

Walking in from the yard, she had a strange feeling, as if there was a suppressive, tense atmosphere lingering in the air.

Where did the Du Le couple go?

She called out a few times but heard no response, her expression changed slightly as she searched the house, but they were nowhere to be seen.

Jun Yiyi’s heart pounded suddenly, shocked, if not for the door being open, she would have suspected that the Du Le couple had already left.

However, the arrangements and furniture around remained, and even the clothes in the yard were still fluttering in the sea breeze. How could they have left! Was she just being overly suspicious!

She waited in the villa for a long time, until nightfall, when she finally saw the Du Le couple return, their faces grave and footsteps hurried, looking preoccupied, not even noticing Jun Yiyi sitting in the small living room.

It wasn’t until Jun Yiyi called out to them that they were startled.

"Where did you go? Did something happen?" Jun Yiyi felt their expression was somewhat unusual.

Madam Roland quickly brushed off the sombre look, replacing it with her usual smile, "It was nothing, we visited a friend’s house this afternoon, and something unpleasant happened to our friend, so we were feeling down. How come you returned so early today?"

Professor Du Le, surprisingly, was silent and more reserved than usual, without his usual cheerful, optimistic smile.

Jun Yiyi thought, something big must have happened to their friend, affecting their mood as well.

"I intended to visit a scenic spot in the mountains today, but it turned out there was a chemical leak in that area, and the public was not allowed near, so I couldn’t go and had to return."

Professor Du Le’s expression shifted, his brow furrowed.

After dinner, no one was in the mood to chat, and they all returned to their rooms to rest.

The next morning, Jun Yiyi was about to head out. Today she was going to the embassy to collect her documents. With Ji Lingkong as a strong backing and having prearranged everything for her, her approval process went smoothly. The immigration documents that usually take a month for others were completed in just a few days for her.

"Yiyi, this is the science and engineering knowledge system I’ve organized over the past few days, all stored in this fingerprint drive. You can open it and project it whenever you want to study," Professor Du Le handed her a round, coin-sized object.
