Chapter 99: Fen Wu

"Tian Chengyun was officially declared dead by the hospital two weeks ago. I don't know if his family went to the service hall to cancel his phone number."

Feng Yushu handed a small SIM card to Ning Zhe, along with his citizen ID card and work badge: "This card was originally placed in the police evidence room. The phone itself was too big and would have been discovered, so I only took the SIM card inside. I don't know if it can still be used now."

"I hope it can still be used." Ning Zhe accepted the items. Feng Yushu gathered her skirt and sat beside him, asking in confusion: "Why are you investigating this security guard surnamed Tian? He is already dead."

"To find out the mastermind behind the strange event at Bishui Bay Villa." Ning Zhe replied: "You have also watched the TV interview Tian Chengyun accepted. The strange event in the villa was covered up as a power leakage accident, and Tian Chengyun's statement in front of the camera was also like that. I want to know who made him change his story."

"Wasn't it Yu Zi Qian?" Feng Yushu was a bit puzzled. Wasn't the person who hunted down the survivors of the Bishui Bay Villa event Yu Zi Qian? He is already dead now, what is there to investigate?

"No, he was the one who hunted down the survivors, but he was not the one who released the ghost to kill people at Bishui Bay." Ning Zhe denied: "Use your brain before you speak. Why did Yu Zi Qian hunt down you, your daughter, and the other survivors?"

"For Te Rang."

"Yu Zi Qian's time was running out; he was about to die. He needed the rule of Te Rang to extend his life, so it couldn't have been him who released the ghost to kill people at Bishui Bay Villa. How could he have released his own life-saving straw to bind others?"

"So, there was someone else who released the ghost at Bishui Bay Villa. That was a Gridder known as 'Fen Wu'."

Ning Zhe leaned back on the chair and turned his head to look at Feng Yushu, who was dressed to the nines: "Think about it, Auntie, think about it. Yu Zi Qian hunted you down to obtain Te Rang. What was Fen Wu's purpose in releasing the ghost to kill people in the villa?"

Feng Yushu's red lips parted slightly, and she finally understood what he meant: "Fen Wu was... for you?"

"To be precise, for the ghost on me." Ning Zhe sighed and said: "It could be Tai Yi, it could be Zhao You, most likely Zhao You. Fen Wu wants to obtain Zhao You; he wants to kill me."

Tu Yu was just someone who took money to do things. He was entrusted by others to blockade Bishui Bay Villa, Taoyuan City, and now Yunmeng Marsh.

And Fen Wu was the seller of Te Rang; he was the one who released the ghost to kill people.

"I don't know who Fen Wu is, but he has been hiding in the dark, watching like a tiger. Fen Wu wants to kill me and take the ghost he wants from my corpse. The reason he hasn't made a move yet might be because I have hidden deep enough that he can't find me in the short term, or perhaps he is trying to figure out the rules I have mastered before making a move... Regardless of which possibility it is, I don't have much time."

"Before Fen Wu makes a move to kill me, I need to find out Fen Wu's identity, or at the very least obtain as much information about him as possible, so that I won't be completely in the dark when the time comes... And the most recent clue I have regarding Fen Wu is already before your eyes."

Tian Chengyun, as a survivor of Bishui Bay Villa, spoke nonsense in front of the camera, which shows that someone silenced him. The person who silenced him is most likely Fen Wu.

Perhaps it was with money, perhaps it was with rules. In short, the clue lies in Tian Chengyun's memory.

Ning Zhe held the small SIM card between his fingertips, examining it carefully: "This is the key to obtaining Tian Chengyun's identity and memory."

Searching for the 'God That Cannot Be Looked Upon' and investigating the 'Fen Wu' hiding in the dark are the two highest priority tasks Ning Zhe has on hand.

"Do you need me to do anything for you?" Feng Yushu asked nervously. Having experienced Yu Zi Qian's hunt, she already understood how dangerous it was to confront a Gridder; she couldn't afford to be careless at all.

"Not yet." Ning Zhe put the SIM card into his pocket: "It is currently still in the investigation stage. If I find clues in the future and successfully lock onto his identity, or if I unfortunately come face-to-face with Fen Wu... then, Auntie, I need you to kill him for me."

"Me?"

"Yes, you. I need you to do this thing that is highly likely to result in death."

Neither Tai Yi nor Zhao You are powerful instant-death rules, and Te Rang and Master Yeyao, simulated by cognition, are not enough to confront a real Gridder. Whether in the future or now, Ning Zhe needs to hold Feng Yushu tightly in his hand; she is his sharp sword for killing.

Although this sword has actually lost the most important hidden quality of a sharp weapon for hurting others... Fen Wu once held Te Rang; he understands the rules of Te Rang, and perhaps he also understands Master Yeyao's.

Once he truly confronts Fen Wu, Feng Yushu could die at any time, and Ning Zhe's sword could snap at any time. Therefore, two insurance policies are needed.

Ning Zhe turned his head and met Feng Yushu's eyes. Thus, a pale, thin, handsome face seamlessly switched onto Ning Zhe's face. This face had more sexual tension than Ning Zhe's handsome student appearance, which carried a hint of bookishness. It was Yu Zi Qian's face; this guy was a typical scumbag playboy.

Using Yu Zi Qian's identity, Ning Zhe deepened the Thought Steel Seal engraved in Feng Yushu's mind once more.

The content of this Thought Steel Seal was: 'I must be obedient to Ning Zhe.'

After doing this, Ning Zhe stood up from the bench.

"You're leaving already?" Feng Yushu hurriedly stood up, somewhat anxious.

Ning Zhe turned his head: "What? Do you still want to keep me to have a meal with you?"

"Hmm, if you are willing." Feng Yushu looked at the unfamiliar features on Ning Zhe's face and nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice: "Ning Zhe, is this your first time in Yun City? I know there are many good restaurants in this mall. If you don't mind, I'll treat you."

"I don't mind, but I'm not going." Ning Zhe shook his head.

"Eh? Why?" Feng Yushu was somewhat disappointed and somewhat puzzled.

Ning Zhe silently raised his hand and pointed at the deep purple lace-trimmed corset gown on Feng Yushu, the milky white jade bracelet on her left wrist, the pearl necklace in front of her collarbone, the pearl earrings on her ears, the gold hairpin in her hair, the white rose diamond ring on her left ring finger, the purple crystal high heels on her feet...

"This outfit is too flashy. You might not think so yourself, but just now, many people, especially women, were secretly looking at you. They can recognize the value of your designer clothes. Being with you is too conspicuous." Ning Zhe lowered his hand and shook his head.

Feng Yushu's expression stiffened slightly, and she forced a smile: "Then, I'll dress more plainly next time? Is that okay?"

"That would be best." After Ning Zhe finished speaking, he prepared to leave: "See you next time."

Seeing him turn around and leave decisively, not willing to stay even one minute more for her, Feng Yushu bit her lip. Complex emotions accumulated thickly in the bottom of her heart, and for a moment, she couldn't speak.

"By the way, I'll give you something."

Before he had walked far, Ning Zhe seemed to suddenly remember something, turned back, fished a string of square copper coins from his pocket, and handed them to Feng Yushu.

"What is this?"

"A friend in Yun City gave them to me. I'll share a few with you."

Lan Shiwen did not use up all the copper coins in the coffin to buy the God of Wealth's life. There were still quite a few left. At Ji Bochang's funeral, he gave Ning Zhe 36 copper coins.

Ning Zhe counted out 3 coins and handed them to Feng Yushu's palm: "This thing is quite valuable. Keep it safe, carry it on your person, and don't let others see it."

"Okay." Feng Yushu carefully stuffed the 3 copper coins into the side pocket of her waist and treasured them.

Before leaving the Patra Mall to obtain Tian Chengyun's identity, Ning Zhe gave Feng Yushu another task:

"After you go back, help me investigate what your husband was doing during that time in Gubei Town."
