1970s: Hot wife accompanies the army, cold-faced rough man is not easy to tease

Chapter 257 Help! (Updated)
As early as today, when Du Yuelan was still lingering past five o'clock, Lu Youyou knew that a good show was about to unfold.

She easily kept Lü Guangfu with her and called Lu Fang to discuss the progress of the experiment with the leaders.

In less than half an hour, the sound of the air raid siren reached them. It only took a few minutes to walk from the office to the laboratory building via a small path. When they arrived, Du Yuelan was still fighting with a flock of birds.

Two minutes earlier, Du Yuelan opened the window with trembling hands, but what awaited her was not an empty corridor, but countless sharp bird beaks.

To keep the lab clean and tidy, Little Grey forbids his underlings from using poop bombs; otherwise, not an inch of Du Yuelan's body will be spared.

As the endless beaks of birds dispersed, Du Yuelan had just lowered her hand from her face when three gazes, as if they were tangible, pierced her.

Not only that, but security guards who heard the commotion also rushed over, along with teachers and students who hadn't gone far.

Du Yuelan panicked and shouted before anyone could ask.

"Look, a large flock of birds attacked me for no reason just now!"

Du Yuelan stretched out her pockmarked arm, the bluish-purple marks quite frightening.

Little Grey had already led the main force away in all directions. Its mission was complete; it could simply find a spot with a great view to enjoy the scenery.

Only the feathers scattered on the windowsill and in the hallway prove that birds had indeed been there.

"Du, why are you here? Why did you enter Group 1's lab?"

Lu Guangfu's voice was as steady and deep as ever, but to Du Yuelan it sounded like a death-dealing judge.

She was standing in the corridor with her back against the windowsill, but the window was still open. She didn't know if anyone had seen her climb out of the window, but she couldn't admit it now.

"I didn't go in! It was these birds, they've gone crazy and kept trying to fly inside. They even pecked open the window. I tried to chase them away, and look, they've scratched me all over!"

He was probably taken aback by such an outrageous reason, and Lu Guangfu was speechless for a moment.

When he arrived, he did see Du Yuelan being attacked by a flock of birds in the corridor, but the latch was inside. What kind of birds could open the window from the outside?
Lu Youyou didn't want to get entangled with that good-for-nothing. It didn't matter if he didn't admit it; she would just present the evidence directly.

Little Grey is very clever; it won't rush to sound the alarm unless it has solid evidence.

"Comrade Du Yuelan, are you sure?"

As soon as Lu Youyou spoke, Du Yuelan's heart tightened.

She had seen Lu Youyou countless times, but today was different. Her smile was exceptionally beautiful, so beautiful that she wanted to cover that face that never changed color with her own.

"Of course I'm sure. What are you trying to say? Are you trying to fabricate something out of thin air?"

Lu Youyou laughed again, making Du Yuelan's eyes sting.

"Professor Lü, I remember that fingerprint technology already exists, so we can just have someone collect the evidence directly."

Lu Guangfu remained silent, but Lu Youyou knew he must have some concerns, and these concerns might extend beyond the Du family to include the Gu family as well.

Lu Guangfu was unaware that Gu Bohuai could no longer be considered a powerful backer of the Du family.

Lu Youyou had no intention of bringing up her private matters, and there were plenty of reasons for it. Just by looking at Lu Guangfu's usual attitude, it was clear that he would be happy to go along with it if given a suitable excuse.

"Professor Lü, you must have heard about what happened six months ago, so I will absolutely not compromise on this matter today."

Lu Guangfu knew exactly what Lu Youyou was referring to. After thinking for a moment, he said, "We can investigate, but it should be limited to within the school."

He didn't want to damage the school's reputation, and he was confident he could cover it up as long as it remained within the school's purview.

Lu Youyou's lips curled up slightly. Sure enough, as long as there was a legitimate reason, Lü Guangfu would definitely vote in favor.

Du Yuelan couldn't believe that Lu Youyou and Lü Guangfu were plotting to oust her right in front of her. Her guiding principle was "My father is Du Guanghan, and my uncle is Gu Bohuai," and now, that phrase was her only lifeline.

"Lu Youyou, you framed me, didn't you? No wonder someone came so quickly!"

She pointed at Lu Youyou as if she wanted to pierce her through, and then immediately turned to Lü Guangfu.

"Professor Lü, are you going to listen to her nonsense? If I go back and tell my family that you framed me without cause, my dad will not let you get away with it!"

Lu Guangfu remained expressionless. Compared to the flustered Du Yuelan, he naturally trusted the confident Lu Youyou more.

He turned around and gave a few instructions. Lu Fang nodded and left, making Du Yuelan even more anxious.

She had no idea what fingerprint technology was, but the mere mention of it was enough to terrify her.

Did she bump into something?

Her mind was a complete mess; she couldn't remember anything.

Seeing Du Yuelan unconsciously rubbing her fingers, Lu Youyou suddenly felt a bit mischievous.

"Comrade Du, we can check not only fingerprints, but also footprints. If you are not lying, we will soon clear your name."

As soon as Lu Youyou finished speaking, Du Yuelan jumped up as if she had been burned.

"Impossible! You're lying! I didn't do it! How dare you frame an innocent person?!"

Her eyes showed even greater panic, and even though she was leaning against the wall, you could still see that she was trembling all over.

Lu Youyou couldn't understand where Du Yuelan got the confidence that she could act so willfully and recklessly without any consequences, nor did she understand why they were keeping a close eye on her.

Lu Youyou glanced at it and then stopped paying attention, but in the instant she turned her head, she spotted Gu Shuchen hiding in the shadows not far away.

He seemed to have just arrived, staying for less than three seconds before hastily leaving.

Gu Shuchen knew that Du Yuelan would take action soon, but he dared not get too involved. He knew nothing about when, where, or how.

On the way here, he was still thinking about how to embellish the situation to ensure that Du Yuelan's attack was powerful enough, not just to kill Lu Youyou, but to seriously injure her.

His vision of the future was perfect: Lu Youyou was framed, Gu Qingye got anxious and angered the powerful, and the Du family took swift and decisive action, killing both of them.

Gu Shuchen noticed something was wrong as soon as he approached the building. People kept running towards the experimental building, and the third floor was full of people.

He was still unaware of what had happened when Du Yuelan's sudden shout startled him so much that his heart stopped.

"Framed," "Injustice," "My dad won't let you get away with this"...

Gu Shuchen became increasingly flustered as he listened, feeling as if a thousand-pound boulder was weighing down on his feet, and dared not take another step forward.

He knew Du Yuelan was a good-for-nothing, but he didn't know she was this stupid.

He had long ago told her to think twice before acting, and he had sincerely advised Du Yuelan to protect herself.

I'm not saying this out of concern or care, but because Du Yuelan doesn't have the ability; professional matters should be left to professionals.

Getting a third party involved, or even just asking family members for help, is better than going into battle alone.

He had a beautiful plan, but Du Yuelan turned it into a disaster.

A wave of regret washed over him. Luckily, he wasn't directly involved; luckily, he arrived late enough; luckily, no one saw him...

He left in a hurry, unaware that Lu Youyou's gaze had already fallen on him.
