Chapter 130 Who would dare keep a secret from you?
Chen Yu glanced at him: "I'm calling this acting on behalf of heaven, right?"
Li Guohua felt his hair stand on end under that gaze, but he still braced himself and said: "I remember... that Zhang Zixuan is the mastermind. This girl is ruthless and will be a scourge sooner or later. If you ask me..."
"Does it have anything to do with you, Li Guohua?"
Chen Yu's cold words interrupted the conversation.
Li Guohua's expression froze, and he swallowed hard: "I... I'm just suggesting, just a suggestion..."
Chen Yu leaned back in his chair: "Why are you so afraid of me?"
Li Guohua waved his hands hurriedly: "No, no! Don't misunderstand..."
Chen Yu frowned: "Then why are you shivering?"
Li Guohua looked down at his hand.
It was shaking.
He clenched his fist, trying to calm himself down, but the more he wiped the sweat from his forehead, the more it appeared.
"Student Chen Yu, your... combat record is too terrifying! It's only human to be afraid..."
Hearing Li Guohua's explanation.
Chen Yu spoke indifferently: "Interested in the Four Great Societies, advising me to kill Zhang Zixuan, and yet so afraid of me. Principal Li, it seems you've done something shady?"
Li Guohua's expression changed, "No, no! I really just asked casually!"
"Since you don't plan on telling the truth."
Chen Yu slowly stood up and reached out his right hand.
A massive Boning Knife appeared out of thin air. "Go tell your lies to my Boning Knife."
Several students were startled and backed away.
Li Guohua's pupils constricted as he looked at the dried bloodstains on the blade, his old face shifting through various expressions.
"Wait... wait!"
His voice cracked: "Listen to me! My Talent is B-rank [Speech Resonance]! It can amplify the greed and desire in people's hearts. Zhang Zixuan asked for my help and brought in several groups of people..."
He spoke faster and faster, fearing that if he slowed down, the knife would fall.
"I thought it was just normal recruitment. Who knew she would send those people to their deaths later! By the time I found out, it was too late! I'm a good citizen! I'm a very good citizen!"
"Student Chen Yu, you must believe me. I really have nothing to do with them!"
"All those harmful things were done by Zhang Zixuan. You must never believe her nonsense! If she says I'm with her, she's framing me! She's trying to ruin me!"
After these words were spoken, the scene fell silent for a moment.
Chen Yu suddenly smiled and raised the knife: "Oh~~ In other words, I acted on behalf of heaven but missed you?"
Li Guohua's face turned pale: "No... that's not what I meant!"
He was completely panicked!!!
Ever since Villa No. 6 was turned into a mass grave!
His spirit had been highly strained!
Every day he wondered if Zhang Zixuan would expose him!
When he closed his eyes, all he saw was the murderer holding a knife, raised high!
Although he was old, it didn't mean he was brave. On the contrary, he valued his life quite a bit!
Just now,
News came from the Information Sharing Center,
The murderer personally admitted: The bloodbath at Villa No. 6 was to act on behalf of heaven.
Hmm.
Acting on behalf of heaven...
This is a fucking lunatic!!!
Is this even human?!!
So for this dinner, Li Guohua brought out all the best wine and food, just to apologize!
But now, that knife was still hanging over his head!
"Wait... wait!"
"My students can all testify! I have nothing to do with the Film Academy! Tell him..."
Before he could finish his sentence.
He froze.
Those students were pressed against the wall, huddled together.
No one dared to speak.
It was completely different from when they had rehearsed.
"Say something, you guys!"
Li Guohua's face turned completely white.
He turned back and looked at Chen Yu.
Looked at that knife.
The tip of the blade was getting closer and closer to him. He let out a startled cry: "Chen Yu! Spare me! I was wrong! I shouldn't have helped them back then, but I can give up 20% of the information profits!"
Chen Yu didn't speak; instead, he took a step forward...
"30%!"
Chen Yu took another step forward.
Li Guohua took a step back, his leg hitting a chair with a dull thud.
"40%!"
"50%! There really can't be any more!"
"60%!!!!"
Chen Yu took another step, and the tip of the knife touched his throat, poking it lightly.
Li Guohua froze entirely, not even daring to breathe.
Chen Yu looked at him with cold eyes: "80%."
Li Guohua's mouth hung open. A man in his fifties, he was shaking uncontrollably.
He stammered: "Okay... okay... 80%! 80% it is!"
Chen Yu withdrew the knife: "Don't play any tricks. This is the money to buy your life. If it's short by even a cent, I will come to kill you."
Li Guohua nodded mechanically: "Yes... yes, so you're letting me go?"
Chen Yu couldn't quite hold it in: "What, did I ask for too little?"
"Ah, no, no!"
Li Guohua's expression changed, and he waved his hands repeatedly: "Thank you, Student Chen Yu, for sparing my life..."
Chen Yu retracted the Boning Knife and sat in the chair: "Where is the answer I want to know?"
Li Guohua spoke quickly: "District D! Building 7! First floor! It's a girl named Lu Xiaoyu, from your Film Academy's Animation major!"
"How do you know?"
Chen Yu frowned. He had searched the regional chat for so long without finding anything, which meant the other party shouldn't be willing to reveal their identity or ability...
And District D was completely different from the District B that Zhang Zixuan had mentioned.
Li Guohua's expression stiffened, and sweat seeped from his forehead.
But he didn't dare not speak.
Until Chen Yu became a bit impatient: "Principal Li, are you going to fucking tell me or not?"
"Well..."
"She previously asked someone to trade rice for supplies."
He swallowed: "She's extremely timid and doesn't dare go to the Information Sharing Center herself, so she asked a classmate for help, but I kept an eye out, cough cough..."
"Later, I had people watch, and found that someone from that community would come once every few days, each time with a small bag."
"In the apocalypse, there's only one possibility for someone to be able to consistently provide rice... right?"
Chen Yu narrowed his eyes: "Wait, how do you know it's a timid girl?"
Li Guohua wiped his sweat and let another student explain.
"Cough, Big Brother Chen Yu, it's like this."
"I tracked... ah, no, after I went to District D, I accidentally found the building. Only then did I know that it was a girl's Talent that could produce rice. I wanted to go negotiate."
"But as soon as that girl heard the principal was inviting her, she was so scared she hid in her room and wouldn't come out. She wouldn't even open the door. I waited outside for a whole day, but I never saw her come out."
"Later, her classmate said that Lu Xiaoyu is timid and afraid of strangers, but she's willing to continue trading rice for supplies, she just hopes we'll keep it a secret..."
Chen Yu rubbed his chin: "But you didn't keep it a secret."
Li Guohua a stunned: "?"
"No, we did keep it a secret!"
"But who dares keep a secret from you?!"
