It wasn't an apple that hit Newton.

Li Cheng's attempt to take further action was interrupted by the knocking. Although he was very annoyed, he could only get up from the sofa and go to open the door, where he saw a well-dressed young man with blue hair and a somewhat youthful face.

"Mr. Banana."

As soon as the door opened, the young man bowed sincerely and said, "I'm very sorry, I didn't mean to, I hope you can forgive my mistake."

The other person's face was full of deep apology, and their attitude was extremely sincere, but Li Cheng frowned deeply after hearing it... Who is this person? Why did they suddenly come over to apologize?

Seeing his expression, the young man became anxious: "I really didn't mean it, you must believe me! And that day..."

"Wait, let me ask you something first."

Li Cheng raised his hand to interrupt the young man's incessant chatter, and then, under the young man's somewhat expectant yet worried gaze, asked, "Who are you...?"

Young man: "......."

One of the most embarrassing things in the world is when you've made a mistake and nervously go to apologize, only to find that the other person doesn't even remember who you are.

But since he was already there, the young man composed himself and introduced himself: "My name is Leon Walker, and my father is a baron..."

"Lyon? The Lyon who wishes to remain anonymous?"

Li Cheng suddenly realized what was happening, and then his lips twitched.

Regarding his becoming the subject of gossip, this "Mr. Lyon who wishes to remain anonymous" bears at least 80% of the responsibility for his drunken boasting, while the other 20% rests on his irresponsible friends who spread rumors and on the general public who believe everything they hear.

"I was drunk that day, so I just talked nonsense."

Lyon began recounting his crime, his expression now one of deep regret: "You know, a bunch of young people together will say anything, so I didn't take it seriously and just rambled on a bit..."

Speaking of which, it was Li Cheng who helped him sneak into the banquet that day. As a result, the kid got drunk afterwards and imagined all the gossip he saw at the banquet, fabricating a "truth" that was almost entirely accurate, making Li Cheng the subject of the gossip.

Although it was still quite painful to learn the truth at first, Li Cheng had no desire to pursue the matter now that things had come to this point. Moreover, Leon's lingering survival instinct after drinking made him not mention his specific name, only referring to him as the mysterious man.

So he said, "Okay, I understand. I accept your apology."

Lyon waited a while but received no further comment. A little surprised, he asked, "That's it?"

"Otherwise what? How do you want me to pursue this?" Li Cheng said with a bit of a laugh. "Come forward to clear my name and then pay me compensation for emotional distress? Putting aside whether it would even work, I'm too lazy to squeeze that little bit of money out of you."

"I don't care what you did."

After saying that, Li Cheng turned around and closed the door, not intending to waste any more time.

"What's wrong?"

Lavoisier was a little puzzled when he saw him close the door behind him after saying just a few words.

"It's nothing serious. Some bored guy came to apologize, and I accepted his apology," Li Cheng shrugged, smiling broadly. "Let's not talk about this anymore; there are more important things to do now..."

The atmosphere was a little somber, but it wasn't a big problem.

Since the sofa was indeed not very spacious, the two moved to the bedroom, where their lips met in a passionate kiss.

However, according to Murphy's light bulb law, the more you don't want light bulbs to interfere, the more likely they are to come and interfere, and there will be more than one.

Perhaps it was this completely out-of-the-way law at work, or perhaps it was Professor Mitchell's resentment at being deceived because of his kindness, but in any case, when the atmosphere heated up again...

Knock knock knock—

The knocking sounded again.

Aren't you going to open the door?

Lavoisier stopped kissing first, a little out of breath, and asked.

"Ignore that person, knock for a while longer and they'll leave."

Li Cheng gazed at the beautiful face so close to his eyes and decided to pretend he wasn't at the hotel—at this moment, he didn't have many other thoughts in his mind, only a very pure and innocent heart.

However, things didn't go as planned. When no one answered the door, the knocking became even more frantic.

Tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap—

The heavy knocking, as if it were about to shatter the door, continued incessantly, making it impossible to ignore as background noise.

Li Cheng's blood pressure suddenly spiked. He released his grip on Lavoisier's arm, stood up calmly, and said, "I'll go open the door. If you hear anyone screaming later, don't worry about it. Just cover your ears and pretend you didn't hear anything."

"...I'll go this time."

Seeing this, Lavoisier grabbed Li Cheng and took the initiative to open the door.

The relentless, violent knocking continued, making Lavoisier wonder if the knocker's hand didn't hurt. But when the door finally opened, her doubts were answered—good heavens, it was kicked!

However, it was clearly not "Mr. Lyon who did not want to reveal his name" who kicked down the door, but a young girl.

She had long, waist-length brown hair, wore a close-fitting, warm brown cotton dress, and slippers that were not suitable for going out. She was only about shoulder-length tall and had a lovely charm.

But at this moment, she was kicking the door with all her might, her blue eyes filled with intense anger, making people completely ignore her cute temperament and only think that this was someone's naughty child who had run out to cause trouble.

If an ordinary person were to see a real brat kicking down a door, they would probably angrily ask, "Where are your parents?"

But Lavoisier, seasoned by Newton, remained composed, steadying the slightly unsteady brown-haired girl from the sudden opening of the door, and asked with the politeness one would show to an adult woman:

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

Few people would criticize this attitude. Even a few young children who are sensitive to their age would feel respected and become easier to get along with.

"Does that guy Banana live here?"

But the bratty kid was an exception; he was still extremely irritable.

Lavoisier's good attitude was met with an unfriendly address, and a hint of displeasure appeared on his face: "Yes, what do you want with him? Mr. Banana is... well, pondering a difficult problem. Please don't disturb him unless it's something important."

"Considering difficult problems?"

These four words seemed to evoke some painful memories. The brown-haired boy bit his lower lip and shouted at Lavoisier with great frustration, "Get that bastard Banana out here right now! He has to take responsibility for this!"

Chapter 243 Is there anything more outrageous?

The child who came to kick the door in her home clothes, filled with grief and anger, was Smith's daughter, Agnes.

As mentioned before, Li Cheng suggested to Smith that Olympiad problems could broaden his thinking. As a result, this guy actually managed to find time in his busy schedule to copy a set of Olympiad problems and send it to his father, Smith.

He also stated that this was purely a mental exercise, requiring little in terms of calculation skills; anyone could do it using basic mathematical operations. His irresponsible attitude was reminiscent of the tutorials in some games...

for example:

Left-click to attack, right-click to parry, WASD to control direction... Alright, you've learned the basic controls. Now try challenging the two difficult bosses: Lady Butterfly, Father, and Isshin Ashina!

But any normal human knows that those things aren't for humans to do, just as Olympiad problems aren't meant for humans to solve. Agnes was thus tortured for almost a month. Ironically, Smith, because of Li Cheng's actions, began to idolize him and insisted that she complete at least one page every day...

Seeing that her father was unreliable, Agnes had no choice but to turn to her mother. But then Smith suddenly turned his life around and became the mayor of Lincoln, and his status in the family rose accordingly. Her mother actually agreed with Smith's idea.

Suddenly isolated and helpless, Agnes finally found an opportunity to escape after being locked up for a month under the combined supervision of everyone in her family. She then came to seek revenge.

As for why she knew where Li Cheng lived, it was quite simple—she overheard her parents talking.

.......

door of the room.

"Responsible?"

Lavoisier was getting a little uneasy. She carefully examined the unruly child in front of her and felt that he didn't seem to be of the age to be taken care of. She wondered if he was just talking nonsense because he was young and didn't know any better.

But then I thought, Li Cheng... he has a criminal record!

Isn't there a little girl in the castle who looks only 14 or 5? She's supposedly 17, but her physical development hasn't kept up...

If that's the case, is it possible—just one possibility—that Li Cheng is unwilling to admit his unique hobby, but can't control the dark side of his heart, and secretly goes outside to lure young girls into his trap as a creepy uncle?

Besides, didn't Li Cheng himself admit to abducting a little girl named Louise in London before? That shows he's quite adept at committing crimes! And this isn't his first time!

Thinking about all this, a dark cloud settled over Lavoisier's heart, but at the same time he felt that he couldn't doubt his boyfriend so easily. It would be too hasty to draw conclusions without verification. He had to investigate first.

So she lowered her head, like a policewoman facing a witness, and said in a serious yet gentle tone, "Miss, could you tell me in detail what Banana did to you?"

Could you elaborate?

Agnes felt that the scoundrel named Banana had done countless bad things, but she was a little unsure how to put it into words, so she gritted her teeth and said, "He did something really outrageous to me!"

!!!

Lavoisier gasped and immediately pressed on nervously, "That really outrageous thing... could you be more specific? Like, did he touch your body or something?"

Seeing her anxious and concerned expression, Agnes blinked, as if she understood something.

Did you touch my body...?

Agnes blinked, realizing that the woman in front of her had misunderstood her words—it has to be said that doing more practice problems does have some effect; her little brain has become quite sharp these days, and she instantly came up with a way to disgust Li Cheng.

Although I don't have high hopes, I'll try to get back at least a little bit.

In short, Agnes's eyes darted around, and she clasped her small hands tightly against her chest, revealing a frightened expression. Her voice trembled as she said, "I... I'm a little afraid to say it..."

"do not be afraid."

Seeing this, Lavoisier stepped forward, gently embraced the trembling little girl in front of him, and whispered, "No matter what you say, I will help you."

Hehe, a brainless, stupid woman. Her only redeeming quality is her large breasts... Agnes gently rubbed against her, finding it quite comfortable, and then squinted her eyes slightly in enjoyment.

"What's your name? How old are you?" Lavoisier continued.

“Agnes, 13 years old,” Agnes said.

Upon hearing that this was a genuine thirteen-year-old, and not just someone who looked like a child but was actually an adult, Lavoisier's sense of justice soared to new heights.

Lolicon is one thing, after all, there's already Newton...

It's one thing to secretly see other women outside, but after all, his own background isn't exactly aboveboard...

But Li Cheng kept it from me for so long, and I only found out about it when the other party came to me. I really can't stand it!

As he jotted down a note in his mind, recalling the thirty-seventh shortcoming he had unknowingly reached, Lavoisier's tone turned considerably colder: "Come, tell your sister, what exactly did he do to you? Your sister will definitely seek justice for you."

First, confirm if there's a chance for him to change, then confront Li Cheng directly. If he really does something truly unbearable, she can simply go back to her family home (referring to France) and discard this man.

He forced me to go into the men's room.

Through her long experience of lying, Agnes learned a lesson: pure lies have their limits; one must transcend lies and reach a truth that is half true and half false.

So she added fuel to the fire, saying:

"That day I wanted to sneak out to play without my dad's knowledge, and Banana pretended to help me, but he tricked me into going to the men's restroom, saying it was the safest place!"

"Is there anything else?!"

"And also, he took off his pants and urinated in front of me, forcing me not to leave!"
