Chapter 501: Chapter 501: Furnace (Six)_1 Chapter 501: Chapter 501: Furnace (Six)_1 “Is… is this person soone you killed?”
Daniel seed to be stunned for about five seconds before he grasped the aning of Fu Qian’s words, and his face instantly turned as pale as death, obviously frightened.
In fact, Fu Qian did not an to scare him on purpose.
A corpse had appeared inside the strange door in the school storage room.
Such an event, likely to cause a sensation in any world, was bound to make explosive news.
No matter how this news spread, it would invariably provoke a strong reaction, and by then, not only the school authorities would be involved.
But the problem for now was to complete the task at hand, which was to get ho before sunset.
Once this incident erupted, skipping classes would be the least of my worries, being dismissed from school on ti would be an achievent.
Unless this individual chose to keep their mouth shut and turn a blind eye to it all.
Therefore, Fu Qian decided to take the bla for the whole incident himself.
“You could say that.”
At this mont, facing the shocked Daniel, Fu Qian smiled oddly, exuding the peculiar air of a psychopathic killer.
“Besides, I don’t think I gave you permission to ask questions?”
While speaking, he even pulled the baseball bat out of this guy’s mouth.
Daniel’s face suddenly looked even worse.
Fu Qian’s deanor at this mont undoubtedly contrasted sharply with his usual behavior.
And this style, outwardly aloof but inherently violent, perfectly matched the image of a psychopathic killer hiding in the school.
I had inadvertently stumbled upon a real killer’s secret identity and his hiding place for corpses!
At that mont, Daniel absolutely believed Fu Qian’s insinuation, feeling a chill run down his spine, but he still suppressed the urge to scream for help.
“Now do you believe that I really have no interest in collaborating with dea?”
Fu Qian looked down at him, smiling smugly.
“I think there’s been a misunderstanding.”
In the midst of the crisis, Daniel’s mind obviously regained its agility, and he quickly took the opportunity to speak.
“Whatever I’ve seen today, I will keep absolutely secret, as if nothing had happened. I swear it.”
“Promises are the most unreliable things.”
Unfortunately, Fu Qian rely nodded towards the body on the ground with a suggestive tone.
“Why do you think he is here?”
He had already checked, and although the corpse on the floor was nearly decayed, the remnants of the clothing were still that of a standard high school student.
And according to Daniel, the school had not conducted checks here for a long ti, suggesting that no students had gone missing for quite a while.
The two facts were clearly contradictory, indicating there must be so hidden story.
However, Fu Qian was not very interested in such campus mysteries and had no intention of uncovering the truth.
…
“Steve and the others are still outside.”
Seeing Fu Qian’s murderous intent, Daniel’s heart sank, but he could not help but add.
“Don’t worry, I’ll have Steve and the others co in to keep you company.”
Fu Qian’s tone remained nonchalant.
“What exactly do you want?”
The other party remained unmoved, and Daniel couldn’t help but growl in a voice that sounded on the verge of breaking.
But his brain wasn’t completely fried—he didn’t opt to yell for help. Given the efficiency with which the other party had taken him down, even if he called Steve and the others, it wouldn’t change anything; they were likely to end up with the sa fate.
As for yelling for the two to fetch reinforcents, that was even more pointless: by the ti help arrived, he would probably already be dead by the hands of this lunatic.
“You seem to be mistaken about sothing. It’s my turn to ask the questions,” said Fu Qian, gesturing for him to stand up properly.
“First question, besides the three of you, who else knows you ca to find ?”
This…
It was clear that Daniel was very conflicted about this question.
He hesitated between telling the truth to gain favor or adding an elent of intimidation to his bargaining chips.
In his hesitation, he recalled their recent conversation and finally gritted his teeth.
“No one knows, I secretly called the two of them out here.”
“Very good!”
Fu Qian nodded appreciatively at his honest attitude.
“Second question, what is my ho address?”
This…
This second question clearly caught Daniel off guard, and he began to explain anxiously.
“Please believe , I really didn’t have any other intentions—”
However, he faltered under Fu Qian’s scrutinizing gaze, hesitated, and then quickly recited an address.
Indeed, he knew it.
Fu Qian was very satisfied with the outco.
Daniel probably could never have imagined that, in fact, the second question was the one Fu Qian truly cared about, with the first mainly serving to set the mood.
Regarding his own address, Fu Qian had estimated that there was a significant chance this person knew it.
After all, knowing both your enemy and yourself ensures victory in every battle, and since this person could speak of ‘family’ in such a manner, he must not be from an ordinary household and was likely nurtured in the culture of his family from a young age.
And indeed, as it turned out, this person was quite savvy in his actions, preemptively obtaining Fu Qian’s address to prevent being unable to deal with him at school.
One could only say it was impressive, now Fu Qian was spared much effort.
“Good, close the door,” said Fu Qian.
Fu Qian looked at Daniel, who seed to be awaiting judgnt, and indicated with his chin.
Huh?
Daniel, to his great relief, had not expected the other party to ask only two questions. Swiftly, he closed the door and even managed to grimly clean up the traces of the corpse a bit.
“Can I go now?”
After finishing all this, Daniel carefully watched Fu Qian’s face.
“Yes, of course,” replied Fu Qian, with a casual and friendly smile.
“Additionally, I quite like that idea you had just now, I need a sick leave note,” said Fu Qian.
“If I don’t show up tomorrow, you can hand it in for , any problems with that?”
“None.”
Daniel, seeing a ray of hope, imdiately perked up, even speeding up his speech.
Unfortunately, this ti he did not receive any praise, as Fu Qian ignored him and had already stepped out the door.
…
Let him go!
Watching Fu Qian erge unhard, Steve and the other outside were clearly taken aback.
Just as they instinctively tried to stop him, they saw Daniel appear at the storeroom door, frantically gesturing to them.
Though confused, upon confirmation, they stopped in their tracks and watched Fu Qian walk away.
…
A minor hiccup, but it turned out to be quite rewarding!
The delay had brought them close to evening, but fortunately, there was still so ti before the sun would set.
Following the address provided by Daniel, Fu Qian had little trouble locating his own residence, an old apartnt building.
Using the keys found on him, Fu Qian easily opened the door in front of him, confirming the address was accurate.
After obtaining the information he wanted, Fu Qian had not wasted any more words, nor had he listened to Daniel’s vows.
One of the great traits of humans is their fickleness; no matter how much Daniel cursed or swore, Fu Qian did not believe he could truly keep a secret for long once he was in a safe situation.
Instead, showing an indifferent attitude as to whether he would tell the secret or not, could make Daniel hesitate, helping him maintain his principles for a little while longer.
