Disliked by everyone? She is clearly the most beloved one in the rich family!

He left in a hurry, waving his sleeves without taking a single cloud with him.

Are all college students so energetic? Yu Zhi couldn't help but wonder.

Perhaps because he had been with Meng Yingnian for so long, he had almost forgotten what normal university life was like. Every day, he interacted with elite talents from high-end society. How long had it been since he had met an ordinary person like him?

Yu Zhi couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic for his past life. Although life was hard in the past, fortunately his feet were still on the ground. But now, no matter how hard he stepped down, he felt like he was floating in the clouds.

Not to mention that after he was recognized by the Wilson family, everything seemed like a dream, making him feel unreal.

The sculpture was further refined in the afternoon. Yu Zhi carefully locked the door of the sculpture room and left only after confirming that everything was correct.

The next morning, he woke up early again. With only a few days left before the sculpture competition, Yu Zhi wanted to strive for even greater perfection.

But from a distance, he saw the door in front of him was wide open, even though he had locked it just last night. Yu Zhi walked towards the sculpture room and accidentally stepped on something raised, almost falling down.

He steadied himself and looked, and saw a piece of plaster scattered on the floor of the corridor.

Yu Zhishi felt something was wrong and hurried to the sculpture room. When he entered, he was shocked by what he saw.

All the sculptures were destroyed, with plasters scattered all over the classroom. It was obvious that they had been violently destroyed because the plasters had been smashed beyond recognition.

And in the center, the statue he had painstakingly crafted was not spared from this fate. The vandals even had the audacity to mark two large crosses on Aphrodite's face.

This was definitely done on purpose.

Yu Zhi was already accustomed to these methods, but he could understand them no matter where they happened. This was just a simple sculpture, yet it was destroyed in such a vicious way. How much did the person behind the scenes hate him?

It would be a lie for Yu Zhi to say he wasn't heartbroken to see his hard work destroyed, especially since this Aphrodite was his masterpiece. Even if it didn't win the competition, he could just put it at home and enjoy it. But now everything was destroyed.

This classroom was an old building, and there were no surveillance cameras installed, so finding the perpetrator would be extremely difficult. Yu Zhi thought that even if there were surveillance cameras, that ruthless person would definitely destroy it. For someone who had planned and prepared in advance, no amount of precautions could stop them.

But Yu Zhi really couldn't just swallow this anger.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"

The boy from yesterday suddenly appeared at the door, looked at the mess, and opened his mouth in surprise.

He looked at Yu Zhi with a look of surprise and doubt, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"I didn't do it, but now I really want to know who did it."

Yu Zhi's voice was still calm, but his eyes revealed his anger at the moment.

The boy looked at Yu Zhi and slapped his head.

"If you want to talk about this, maybe I can help you."

The boy took Yu Zhi to the building opposite. If Yu Zhi remembered correctly, this should be the teaching building for the photography department. Coincidentally, the room they came to was opposite Yu Zhi's sculpture room.

"I took the photo here yesterday, so I guess we can see yours directly from this classroom."

Yu Zhi nodded, but the person who destroyed the sculpture must have done it at night. Under normal circumstances, no one would look across the street in the photography classroom at night.

"Well, our camera equipment is very expensive, so we have to strictly monitor everything. In addition to the safe, we are also equipped with a state-of-the-art surveillance system."

The boy pointed at the surveillance camera above his head. It looked very advanced, but he didn't know if it could capture the classroom on the other side.

"Can I get the surveillance video of this classroom?"

Yu Zhi felt a little embarrassed when he asked this question. He really wanted to know who was behind the trouble, but he didn't have a very deep friendship with the boy, and it was really inappropriate to ask him to do something right away.

"Of course, otherwise why would I bring you to this classroom? You can watch it directly on the computer in this room."

The boy didn't think as much as Yu Zhi thought. He directly turned on the computer in the classroom and looked through the surveillance footage from last night.

The picture can clearly capture the classroom opposite, but the figures are a bit blurry, and one can only vaguely distinguish between men and women.

"About what time did you leave last night?"

Yu Zhi thought about it and realized that he did look at the time when he left last night, it was around 7:30.

"Let's start watching at seven."

On the surveillance camera, Yu Zhi was busy working in the sculpture room, the lights on. Around 7:30, Yu Zhi packed up his things, turned off the lights, and walked out.

What followed was endless darkness until the scene reached half past eleven, when a figure appeared in the sculpture room, and the door was already wide open.

The man didn't turn on the light, but instead waved a long object around. The sculptures were extremely fragile and fell to the ground. After destroying everything, the man stood before Aphrodite, scratched a few times with a carving knife, and then quietly left.

From the surveillance footage, only his movements can be seen, but his personal physical features cannot be discerned at all.

"Oh, I told you to upgrade this thing to infrared a long time ago. These guys are so lazy. Now I can't see anything."

The boy scratched his head in annoyance and looked at Yu Zhi cautiously.

"This sculpture must be very important to you. It's a pity that I couldn't help you this time."

"No, you really helped me a lot this time."

The surveillance footage clearly showed that the person had used a carving knife, and no one had ever touched the carving knife except Yu Zhi. Now, if they could find the fingerprints on the carving knife, they could immediately identify the murderer.

However, investigating fingerprints was a bit too cumbersome, and Yu Zhi was a little undecided as to whether she should do it so seriously.

Besides, Yu Zhi didn't want to bother Meng Yingnian all the time for such a small matter.

"Do you know of any place where fingerprints can be investigated without involving the police?"

Yu Zhi's question startled the boy, and he scratched his head embarrassedly.

"I really don't know about that. After all, my family always tells me to contact the police when I encounter difficulties. I haven't considered other avenues."

Yu Zhi pondered and nodded.

"But if I were to tell you, it would be better for you to call the police. After all, besides your sculptures, there are many public properties in the sculpture room. If they find out, you won't be able to defend yourself."

The boy's words suddenly woke Yu Zhi up. Yes, there were more than just his things in the sculpture room.

If you calculate carefully, although those sculptures are works of art, they are still worthless unless they are actually auctioned. However, the materials and walls in the sculpture room, which are public property, must be worth tens of thousands in total.

For Yu Zhi, who is used to wealth, this is of course nothing, but from a legal point of view, this has touched the red line and bottom line of the law.

"You're right. When faced with this kind of thing, we must call the police."

After a while, the police car arrived quickly. Professional personnel conducted fingerprint identification and also retrieved the surveillance video they had just reviewed.

The presence of professionals was indeed much better than the two of them, laymen. They hadn't seen any clues in the surveillance footage, but the police had immediately identified a man as the perpetrator. However, fingerprint identification would take some time, and it might be some time before the real culprit was apprehended.

The chaos of the day finally came to an end at this moment.

"By the way, I haven't asked you what your name is yet?"

Now the two of them can be considered comrades-in-arms who have shared weal and woe.

"My name is Cheng Man. What's yours? What's your name?"

"Yu Zhi."

Yu Zhi always felt that he had heard the name Cheng Man somewhere, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't remember it.

"So you are Yu Zhi! Your name is quite famous in our school. I heard from the grapevine that your family is super rich. Is that true?"

If someone else asked this question, Yu Zhi might be very resistant.

But Cheng Manzhi was born with a temperament that made people dislike him. Moreover, when he asked this question, he didn't have any obvious utilitarian purpose. Instead, he was just gossiping.

"Maybe my family is better off than ordinary people."

Yu Zhi didn't know how to answer this question. After all, in his mind, this money had nothing to do with him.

"Oh, you're being too modest. Everyone can see the luxury cars your family drives and the famous people around you. If I were you, I'd have been born in Rome and couldn't even imagine how awesome that must be."

After Cheng Man finished speaking, he did not hear Yu Zhi's voice. He looked up and saw the embarrassment on his face. Then he felt something was wrong.

Although he has a rough face, he can also read other people's expressions and emotions.

Yu Zhi made such a big splash when the school just started, but only a few people actually saw him, understood him, and had contact with him.

Normally, a rich young man like this wouldn't spend all day and night in the sculpture studio carving his own works. Yu Zhi is indeed the one who is different.

"Did something I said offend you?"

Cheng Man looked at Yu Zhi cautiously.

"No, it's just that this identity has caused me a lot of trouble, and I don't want to be so different in school."

Yu Zhi envied the simple and unpretentious university life, but his status as a university student meant he wouldn't be able to make any real friends. After all, school was just a small society, and everyone interacted with a purpose, and this kind of utilitarian interaction was exactly what Yu Zhi hated.

"Yeah, everyone's watching your every move, and they all want to use your identity to get some benefits for themselves. It must be very tiring for you."

Yu Zhi nodded.

If he thought Cheng Man was very sunny and happy when he first met him, then now, Yu Zhi felt from the bottom of his heart that this person's character was very worthy of associating with.

"But you seem different from them."

When Cheng Man heard this, he opened his eyes wide in surprise and pointed at himself in disbelief.

"No, no, no, don't think too highly of me. When I heard your identity, I immediately wanted to cling to you. But I'm a self-aware person. I really don't have any outstanding qualities."

Cheng Man looked as if he was asking the boss if he could hire someone with leg pendants, which made Yu Zhi laugh.

"Who would say what they really think?"

Cheng Man quickly covered his mouth and smiled awkwardly.

"It's fate that we met. You've helped me so much today, I should treat you to a meal. How about this, is there anything you'd like to eat?"

There was a golden light in Cheng Man's eyes. If he had not considered the appropriate degree of communication between Yu Zhi and others, he would have pounced on him.

"Boss, there's a barbecue place next door that I've been wanting to eat at for a long time."
