Fang You was mulling over the connection between senior Yue Yipei and Jiang Chao.
Just then, he suddenly heard noises of an argunt coming from upstairs.
"Go check it out!"
There, Zhang Jiahao was being blocked at the dormitory entrance.
Ke Lan and a few boys had surrounded him.
"It really wasn't ..."
Zhang Jiahao appeared very innocent. "After I asked Jiang Chao, he disappeared sowhere."
"Hey, what are you guys doing?"
"Jiang Chao wouldn't just drop out for no reason, and it's very likely he's missing now. According to my information, all the criminal suspicions point to this person right here. We demanded to check Zhang Jiahao's dorm, but he refused."
Ke Lan pushed up his glasses. "Clearly, Zhang Jiahao was the last person to see Jiang Chao, but his testimony is full of false gaps. Plus, from my observations of him over the past few days, the most important aspect is—just look at his fierce appearance, he definitely can't be a good person. So, I am highly suspicious that he is the inside mole I've been looking for at the winter camp!"
"Objection!"
Xia Nuo imdiately spoke out to cut off Ke Lan. "Judging by appearance is very wrong. The thing I hate most in my life is people who judge by appearance!"
"..."
Fang You couldn't help but glance at Xia Nuo who had once judged by appearance when teasing Jiang Chao. Now, her expression was utterly righteous:
"Also, if he really is the mole, and you reveal the affairs of the Dawn Council to him now, won't we all be netted together!"
"Exactly, confronting this situation is precisely my intention," said Ke Lan as he adjusted his glasses. "What I'm doing now is trying to flip Zhang Jiahao, to persuade him to abandon darkness for light, and join our side, so we can expose this shocking conspiracy more quickly!"
"I really want to help you guys... but this matter really has nothing to do with ; I also don't know what's up with Jiang Chao..."
At this mont, Zhang Jiahao appeared very helpless, a far cry from the impulsive man who used to flaunt his gun; he now seed temperate and vulnerable.
"Stop acting so sanctimonious, everyone knows you ca from Special Forces, you must have done sothing to Jiang Chao, right?"
"Since you say you weren't involved, provide so evidence then!"
A boy added, "Who can prove you were listening to ghost stories all night yesterday without going out to commit the cri?"
"I—"
Zhang Jiahao was about to speak when suddenly, a clicking sound ca from a nearby room.
The door of the next dorm opened, and out ca Wang Zihan, yawning after his nap.
Everyone looked at each other and stared at Wang Zihan.
Wang Zihan stretched lazily, rubbed the sleep from his eyes, and said, "I just woke up from sleep, but I heard your conversation outside... Zhang Jiahao was with listening to ghost stories all night yesterday; he had no chance to commit any cri."
"Zi Han..."
Zhang Jiahao seed surprised that Wang Zihan would defend him at this eting, his expression filled with gratitude.
"Hey, could you not look at like that! I'm not saying I necessarily want to help you! I just feel like fairness and justice shouldn't be buried. Even though Jiang Chao's withdrawal is weird, it's not fair to suspect our own classmates."
Wang Zihan seed to feel quite heroic in his speech, standing a bit straighter.
However, Ke Lan straightened his bangs, his expression showing utter disdain.
"Hmm, your testimony for him is aningless. To , you two seem like birds of a feather."
"Huh?"
Wang Zihan responded, "What do you an, birds of a feather? Zhang Jiahao looks like a bad guy, but do I also not look like a good person?"
Zhang Jiahao: "QAQ"
At this mont, Wang Zihan appeared quite angry: "I have such an innocuous, harmless face that clearly shows I'm useless, and you guys still suspect of being a bad person!"
"Hmm, don't try to fool . Although you disguise being useless very well, I know that you only look useless," Ke Lan said earnestly. "As the old saying goes, great wisdom is foolish, great treachery seems loyal. I even suspect you might be the real mastermind behind this incident."
"Really... Is that really what you think!"
Wang Zihan obviously felt he had never received such an evaluation, suddenly embodying the role, even raising his voice a few notches: Read latest chapters at My Virtual Library Empire
"Fine, then. I intended to live among you as a regular student, but all I got was misunderstanding and indifference."
Wang Zihan held his forehead with his palm, tilted his head, and looked up with a cold laugh:
"No more acting, let's lay it all out. I am the true mastermind behind this incident, behind all of it! Now, you only have two choices: fight and beco my sacrifice, or submit to and kneel before , and I might just spare your lives! Ha ha ha ha ha, heh heh ha ha ha ha ha!"
"..."
Ke Lan and the boys exchanged glances: "Fine, Wang Zihan's suspicion is cleared. Now, the only suspect left is Zhang Jiahao."
Wang Zihan nearly fainted with irritation: "How is it cleared? Are you guys just ssing around?"
"This isn't a joke! You, this guy—"
Ke Lan grabbed Wang Zihan by the collar, seemingly eager to demonstrate the prowess of a famous detective.
Then, just at that mont.
Before Ke Lan could finish speaking, he suddenly felt sothing hard pressed against his chin.
It was a cold, shining, breath-taking object.
The crowd looked closely and discovered it was a pure gold pistol.
No one but Fang You saw how Zhang Jiahao had drawn the gun.
It was as if by magic, appearing suddenly in his hand.
"Let go of my friend. I won't allow you to hurt him."
"Please, don't make ..."
Zhang Jiahao seed to be enduring sothing, sweat beads forming on his forehead, "I have been patient for a long ti."
"I... I—"
Ke Lan, externally strong but internally shaky, was also slightly panicked at this mont, unsure of what to do.
However, just then, Emperor Youyou demonstrated his unique charm "Regal Uncle Style," effortlessly separating the chaotic crowd with his hands.
"Regardless, the disappearance of Zhang Jiahao and Jiang Chao has no direct connection, and... I also believe that Zhang Jiahao has nothing to do with this incident."
Fang You said gently, "Let's go look for other, more valuable clues."
At that mont, Fang You's words were filled with a mysterious persuasiveness, making everyone sowhat involuntarily want to follow his arrangents.
"I believe it too! Both class presidents will vouch for Zhang Jiahao!"
Xia Nuo also stepped forward to defend Zhang Jiahao at this ti.
Seeing soone vouching for him, and also giving himself an exit, Ke Lan imdiately nodded, "Then, let's look for more clues. But Zhang Jiahao, if you really have nothing to do with this, you'd best not let catch you."
Thus, Ke Lan led a few of their underlings away from Zhang Jiahao's dormitory door with quick, short steps.
Phew...
With that, another problem was resolved.
At this mont, Wang Zihan took a great interest in Zhang Jiahao's pistol, "Woah, Zhang Jiahao, your gun is really cool. Is that a golden desert eagle?"
"It's a 1:1 replica model gun that only shoots water."
Zhang Jiahao said as he handed the pistol to Wang Zihan.
"Damn, it's really just like the real thing, even feels like it."
Boys always couldn't help but be curious about such chanical toys and wanted to play with them.
Seeing how interested Wang Zihan was in his gun, Zhang Jiahao was also very happy.
"Do you like it?"
Zhang Jiahao asked, "If you really like it, I'll give it to you as a thank you for defending just now."
"Ah? That wasn't really defending!"
Wang Zihan said, "I was just... they were a bit noisy during nap ti, so I just—"
At that mont, Wang Zihan noticed Fang You nearby, smiling like an uncle, and imdiately got very angry:
"Hey, Youyou, what's with that sowhat delighted expression?!"
"This is my sad expression."
Fang You said, sighing, "My Zi Han is growing faster than I imagined, and I feel our distance is also growing."
"You kid… weren't you quite aloof before?"
Wang Zihan said helplessly, hands on hips, "When did you also start liking to stir things up?"
"Alright, alright, now I want to talk about sothing serious."
Xia Nuo made a stopping gesture with her hand, "I feel like Ke Lan and the others are deviating further from the truth in their investigation."
Xia Nuo complained, "I feel this leader isn't Youyou, and I just can't be at ease... How about we operate a bit more independently for now?"
"Find the reason Jiang Chao went ho, right... I'm in."
Wang Zihan said, "Anyway, I'm free, and I want Joker Sister to see the things I've learned and how I've grown at winter camp!"
"I'm also in."
Zhang Jiahao nodded, "I also want to clear my na, otherwise they will never stop."
"Good, good, good, now our team is the new Hidden Dawn Council!"
"As for the head of this organization, it will be our—"
Xia Nuo said, raising Fang You's arm high, "Classmate Fang You!"
