Chapter 519: Chapter 519: Furnace (24)_1 Chapter 519: Chapter 519: Furnace (24)_1 So, it’s related to that person too?
Fu Qian’s mind conjured up dea’s face, and he felt an increasingly strange coincidence.
Of course, even if it was the sa person, it wouldn’t be too unreasonable a developnt.
After all, Edlar also appeared in this world under the guise of a student and seed to have been here for quite so ti, carefully carrying out his tasks.
Given dea’s philanthropy, it wasn’t surprising that they got entangled sohow.
This trip seed very fruitful, and yet it seed to be of no practical use!
Fu Qian closed his notebook and rubbed his temples.
The content left by Edlar confird the guesses he had harbored for a long ti—a significant revelation indeed.
However, at the sa ti, it was clear that this person had not found a way to extricate himself and, to so extent, had not progressed further than Fu Qian himself.
It seed nothing more than a misguided demonstration.
One thing beca certain: following the tasks as prescribed led nowhere.
The feeling of being trapped in an iron barrel was apt, this place seemingly designed solely for entrapnt, deserving of its na—Furnace.
Considering the anomaly at the start of the task, it was obvious there was a problem with 1-005.
It wasn’t rely a hiccup; it was ant to deliver oneself here for cremation.
Brother Edlar was the sa.
Shaking his head, Fu Qian imdiately turned around, opened the door, and walked out.
If no path to life could be seen, then it was ti to examine the path of death taken by his predecessor.
Learn from history and go et dea, the person involved.
…
Ding-dong!
Standing in the small courtyard, Fu Qian rang the doorbell and patiently waited.
Although he had not escorted dea ho last night, she lived in a detached house, and combining the actions of Chief Stan and his n made her location quite easy to ascertain.
The reason he ca here instead of the school was that, in Fu Qian’s judgnt, following yesterday’s events, dea’s ntal state probably wasn’t strong enough to be that dedicated to her work.
“Who is it?”
His judgnt proved correct when, after the third ring of the doorbell, a response finally ca from inside.
dea’s voice was noticeably hoarse after a night had passed.
“Columnar socializing.”
Fu Qian answered casually and imdiately, there was silence inside.
“Fu Qian, why have you co?”
After patiently waiting a few minutes, the door finally opened from inside, revealing dea’s pale and haggard face.
“I didn’t escort you ho yesterday, and I was worried you couldn’t find the place.”
Fu Qian continued to spout nonsense and made a gesture.
“Won’t you invite in to sit?”
“… How could I not? Please, co in.”
dea looked sowhat astonished but quickly recovered and invited Fu Qian into the house.
While she couldn’t understand Fu Qian’s actions from yesterday, in any case, the student before her indeed was her lifesaver, and she wasn’t so confused to miss that fact.
“You don’t seem to be in good shape?”
Fu Qian didn’t mince words and walked right past dea into the house.
The interior was still lavishly furnished but looked sowhat disordered at first glance.
“I’m okay.”
dea subconsciously touched her neck where a blue and white striped scarf was tied.
The next mont she shook her head, untied the scarf, and revealed the purple-black bruise on her snow-white neck.
It was evident that Daniel had been quite brutal yesterday.
Touching the alarming marks on her neck, dea showed a bitter smile.
“I look a bit disheveled, so I took the day off and didn’t go to school.”
As Fu Qian surveyed the room, she felt sowhat embarrassed, moved forward to tidy up the cluttered seats, and invited him to sit down.
“Sorry for the ss.”
“I hadn’t been ho long last night when the police suddenly ca over to question —”
Before Fu Qian could say anything, dea continued speaking, and then, as if just realizing, she abruptly raised her head to look at Fu Qian.
“They were asking where you had gone… Did sothing happen?”
“Chief Stan, right? I’m aware of it,” Fu Qian replied nonchalantly, suddenly alert.
“He had urgent business with ; I’ve already t with him.”
Urgent business with you?
dea was clearly skeptical of Fu Qian’s explanation.
For her, it was hard to imagine why the local chief of police would need to see a student for urgent matters.
However, rembering the events from last night at the school, she could sense that this student was out of the ordinary.
So, for the mont, she refrained from questioning him directly, instead muttering to herself.
“I see… At first, I thought they ca because of the incident at the school. It was so tense, I was afraid they’d notice sothing abnormal.”
“Fortunately, they didn’t pry too much, just asked a few questions then hurried off.”
“Did you let get off early because you knew they were coming?”
As she spoke, it seed as if dea’s brain started to turn, and her eyes lit up while looking at Fu Qian.
“Yes, last night wasn’t convenient,” Fu Qian replied, not bothering to hide the truth.
“…Chief Stan asked so questions, but besides you driving and then leaving, I didn’t say anything else,” dea nodded, then emphasized after a thought.
“You don’t need to worry.”
“Thank you. I’ve already reached a full understanding with him, so you don’t need to worry either,” Fu Qian responded, smiling knowingly.
“I thought that was why you ca.”
Seeing that Fu Qian’s tone did not seem fake, dea’s expression relaxed slightly, only to be replaced by a look of confusion.
She obviously couldn’t figure out any other reason for Fu Qian to co here.
“No, I just had a few questions to ask you,” Fu Qian said, not beating around the bush now that dea seed more at ease.
“Edlar, does that na still ring a bell to you?”
“Edlar?”
Fu Qian’s question clearly caught dea by surprise.
“Of course, I rember; what about him?”
“I want to know so things related to him,” Fu Qian said, disregarding dea’s question.
“Judging by your reaction, it seems you have a deep impression of him?”
“That’s for sure,” dea replied, biting her lip, stood up, and walked aside to pull out a stack of photos.
Fu Qian looked over and recognized the photos as the ones previously in the office.
It seed that the scare from yesterday caused her to refrain from keeping them in their original place.
These photos were stealthily taken by Daniel yesterday, probably planning to dispose of her and then release them to steer public opinion.
So scandalous news, and then fabricate a narrative about her eloping with soone, under moral pressure, including the school would surely want to minimize the impact and not delve too deeply.
But, later on, to provoke a rift between Fu Qian and dea, he gave them up voluntarily.
“He was a… very dazzling young man, very bright. He always spoke and acted just right, like a breath of fresh air,” dea said, handing over a few photos while becoming absorbed in so pleasant mories.
“That was indeed a wonderful period of ti.”
“I can imagine, what happened next?”
Fu Qian looked down at the person in the photos, also tall and robust, with blond hair and blue eyes.
However, compared to Daniel, he lacked a bit of youthfulness and possessed more steadiness.
“After that… we broke up.”
