Chapter 131 A murderer is always a murderer
“Is that all?”
Li Guohua nodded hurriedly: “That’s all! It’s just a normal trade! Really!”
Chen Yu nodded: “The supplies are to be settled daily and delivered to Villa Number One.”
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Li Guohua wiped his sweat and nodded repeatedly.
After he finished speaking, his eyes rolled around, and he added a few more sentences:
“Um... if you’re going to District D now, you need to be careful. It’s chaotic over there right now. Those people from Polytechnic are all bottling up their anger and bullying anyone they see from the Film Academy.”
“Robbing things, smashing doors, blocking roads—they’re capable of anything.”
“?”
Chen Yu paused: “Bullying the Film Academy?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
A female student stepped forward to explain: “Ever since the Villa Number One belonging to Polytechnic University was taken, they’ve been specifically targeting lone individuals. I heard several girls were beaten so badly they don’t dare to leave their building.”
“We all live near District D and have seen quite a lot... uh... anyway, the students from the Film Academy in District D are having a rough time.”
Another girl also said: “Exactly, they pick on the weak; they wouldn’t dare cause you any trouble.”
“Ahem!”
Li Guohua coughed, signaling the two students to say less.
The two girls hurriedly shut their mouths.
Chen Yu narrowed his eyes: “Has Lu Xiaoyu been beaten?”
The room went quiet for a moment.
The two girls instinctively looked at Li Guohua.
Li Guohua’s expression stiffened, “Ahem, well, things have indeed been a bit chaotic in District D recently.”
“Hmm.”
Chen Yu nodded, turned around, and left the building in District A.
District D.
Sunlight shone on the gravel road, blindingly bright and somewhat dazzling.
It was even more chaotic here than he had imagined.
Luggage that had been thrown out was piled up at the entrances of several buildings, with clothes and quilts scattered all over the ground.
Someone was squatting on the ground to pick them up, only to be kicked away by someone passing by.
Broken daily necessities were everywhere; plastic basins, half-bottles of shampoo, all trampled into a mess.
A crowd of people gathered ahead, making a racket.
Several male students from Polytechnic were holding down two students from the Film Academy, forcing them to kneel and take photos.
To show off in the regional chat.
One had already been forced to kneel on the ground and was furiously using the photo feature of the regional chat. He must have received quite a few likes, as he was laughing uncontrollably.
The other was still struggling, held by his arms by two people, having already taken a few punches to the face, with blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
“You Film Academy trash, how dare you fight back?”
A few Film Academy students passing by paused, then walked around them.
No one dared to intervene.
Some girls were even covering their faces and crying, crying very softly for fear of being heard.
“Come on, smile! Let the whole school see the fate of the Film Academy!”
A boy with a tin-foil perm was laughing the loudest.
Suddenly, someone poked his arm.
“Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang...”
The tin-foil perm impatiently shook him off: “What!”
The man’s voice was trembling as he pointed ahead.
“Look over there quickly...”
The tin-foil perm turned his head back.
A dozen meters away, a boy wearing a black windbreaker was walking toward them.
His hands were in his pockets, his pace steady and unhurried, with no expression on his face.
The tin-foil perm’s smile froze.
The laughter of those Polytechnic students also came to an abrupt halt, and some took a step back.
Even the two Film Academy students who were being held down froze, looking up in that direction.
Silence.
The area that had just been noisy was now so quiet that one could hear the wind.
The boy in the black windbreaker walked past them.
He didn’t even glance their way.
He just walked past.
The tin-foil perm held his breath, not daring to move.
Only when that figure had walked a little further away did he dare to breathe.
“Holy...”
His legs were a bit weak.
Several people nearby gathered around and whispered in low voices.
“Why did he come to District D? Doesn’t he live in the Villa Area?”
“Who knows! He scared me to death just now; when he walked by, I didn’t even dare to breathe!”
“I thought he was coming to find trouble with us...”
“He didn’t even look at us; what is there in District D worth a murderer coming for?”
The tin-foil perm swallowed hard and looked back at the two miserable students.
“Damn it, that scared the hell out of me...”
“Did you see that? A murderer is always a murderer; he won’t save anyone!”
“You people from the Film Academy deserve it!”
“He robbed Polytechnic’s house, so we bully you, do you hear me?! A bunch of tras...”
He stopped mid-sentence.
He suddenly felt something was wrong.
Because the laughter that had just been echoing...
Was gone.
No one was responding anymore, and his companions’ expressions were also somewhat confused.
Their gazes seemed to be looking behind him?
The tin-foil perm’s pupils contracted sharply.
He hadn’t even had time to turn around.
A large hand had already grabbed the back of his head.
The five fingers tightened like iron pliers, leaving him no room to struggle.
An irresistible force pushed him down.
His knees went weak.
“Bang!”
He fell to his knees!
His knees slammed onto the gravel, and blood seeped through his pants!
He grimaced in pain: “Ahhhh!”
Several male students from Polytechnic widened their eyes and took half a step back, terrified for a moment!
Those people from the Film Academy were also stunned...
The two kneeling boys forgot they had been released and looked up blankly at this side!
Many passersby, people nearby, and those who loved to watch the excitement all gathered around!
And then—
A faint golden light sprinkled down from above; above District D, a huge golden eye slowly opened...
Chen Yu looked up.
He glanced at the eye in the sky.
Then he withdrew his gaze.
He picked his ear: “Like damn flies. If I hear anyone whispering behind my back again, it won’t just be kneeling. You should know that the Eye of Peace cannot stop me.”
After saying this.
Chen Yu continued walking forward.
The golden eye in the sky was still there.
The golden light bathed the entire District D, but nothing happened.
The Eye of Peace would not intervene in a fight of this level.
The two kneeling boys scrambled backward.
“Run, run...”
On the Polytechnic side, no one dared to stop them; the fear had not yet subsided.
The tin-foil perm was still kneeling on the ground.
His knees were pressed into the gravel, covered in blood.
“Brother... Brother Zhang...”
“Someone in the regional chat is asking you where the next promised picture is...”
The tin-foil perm finally looked up, his lips trembling.
In the chat box, messages were coming in one after another.
【Zhao Gang: Where are the pictures? Didn’t you say you’d take ugly photos of those Film Academy brats?】
【Li Yingwei: Waiting to watch the fun, where are you guys?】
【Wang Lei: Yeah, are you still in District D? You didn’t let them get away, did you?】
【Li Yingwei: Hahahaha, hilarious.】
The tin-foil perm’s mouth twitched: “Screw it, I have to move to District E; I can’t stay here anymore...”
He braced himself on the ground to stand up, but his knees went weak, and he knelt back down.
“Ahhhh!”
“Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang! Take it easy, take it easy!”
“Take it easy my ass, hurry the hell up and take me away, back to the room!”
“The murderer has already walked far away...”
“Run anyway, hurry, don’t dawdle!”
“Hey, Brother Zhang, why are your pants so wet?”
“Uh... it’s hot, I’m sweating.”
