Chapter 143 Confession (End Countdown 3)

Back out

Whether he was misunderstood or maliciously targeted at work, his confession failed and was rejected, or his personal information was leaked, he felt powerless and exhausted.

He is a little tired.

Chi Dong sat in the dim room, the dim light from the screen illuminating his pale face. The glaring condemnation and abuse on the public screen made him unable to muster the slightest desire to defend himself.

When Eat Din La and Ju Hua heard Chi Dong's words, they felt uneasy in their hearts and rushed to comfort him.

Let’s Eat: “Dongdong, it doesn’t matter if others don’t believe in you, as long as we believe in you and the great god believes in you, that’s all.”

Chrysanthemum blooms and butt hurts: "That's right, don't take what those people say to heart. They have dirty hearts and think everything is dirty. What does it matter if they are men or women? Aren't we just playing games?"

Silently passing by: "You're right. It's a different era now. How can there still be such stupid ideas as gender discrimination? It's outrageous. Don't worry, I've opened more than a dozen small accounts now. I'm not Luo if I don't beat them to death."

Ding Dong Ding Dang: "And me, I also have an account, and I trust you very much. You are not the kind of person who would cheat people out of money as they say."

Coke and soda: "Hey, isn't it just playing with a female character? Do those people have to react so strongly? I'm also a man playing with a girl, come and scold me if you have the guts."

Nitrogen Dioxide: "Fuck, Coke, you're actually a man? Fuck!!"

I am Little Lolita: "Hehehe, Oxygen and Nitrogen, let me tell you a good news, I am also a man (>3<)."

Tomorrow will be better: "Huh? There are so many men playing with women in the gang? Is there anyone like me, a woman playing with men? Looking for gay friends online."

An An An An said softly: "I, I, I raise my hand, I am a girl who plays with boys, gay friends, add me as a friend, expand the list ah ah ah."

Tomorrow will be better: "OKK, I've added more."

She rolled her eyes and grinned, "Ahhh, I want to join too. I'm a girl too."

Sword and Abyss: "I also have a female character in another zone."

Not only them, but also those who could not speak on the microphone also spoke up for Chi Dong on the public screen. Whenever a malicious comment flashed by, they would fight back, leaving those people speechless and finally running away in disgrace.

Listening to everyone's defense, Chi Dong's eyes turned red and his throat seemed to be choked by something. After a long while, he spoke hoarsely: "Thank you all... for believing me." His voice was not loud, but every word was clear and full of sincerity.

"Although it was my fault for not telling everyone that I was a man, I am definitely not the kind of person who cheats people out of money as described in the post. From beginning to end, I have never cheated anyone out of a penny."

When he said this, his voice paused for a few seconds, as if he was sorting out his emotions, and then he continued, "I owe Shibu, and every payment is recorded. I have returned all that I can and should return to him. As for the remaining part, I will find a way to make up the difference within today, not a penny less. So, you don't have to worry about me running away."

Chi Dong looked at the icon of the game "Hero" on the desktop with a nostalgic look, and sighed inaudibly: "I will quit the gang and stop playing this game."

These words made Jiang Ying on the other end of the computer freeze instantly, and the smile on his face disappeared without a trace.

Did he hear it right? Dongdong is hiding and is going to quit the gang and the game?

No, no, if someone comes back and finds that his wife was taken away by them, wouldn't he have to die to atone for his crime?

Thinking of Bu Qianli's cold face and the low pressure surrounding him, Jiang Ying shuddered inexplicably.

He coughed lightly in an attempt to break the sudden awkwardness, but his voice sounded a little dry and unnatural: "Uh, Dongdong, don't say that... We all believe in you, and Shibu he..."

Juhua Huanfang interrupted him before he could finish his words, and said firmly: "No, Dongdong, you can't back out. If you leave, and the great god comes back and finds you're not here, then wouldn't we be the villains who broke up his marriage? Absolutely not!"

Chifanla followed up and said, "I don't agree either. Dongdong, please don't do anything rash. The Great God is not here now. You must wait for him to come back and help you get justice, otherwise this dirty water can't be washed off."

Man on Man: "I agree with Chifan and Juhua. I also think we should wait for the master to come back. And I always feel that this matter is not simple. The person who broke the news may be around us, and his purpose is to force you to leave."

Sword and Abyss: "They are right. This matter is indeed strange. Logically speaking, there are countless male players playing female characters and female players playing male characters in the game. It is not a rare thing at all. But some people in the forum deliberately distorted the facts. The malicious intention is obvious, so I think we should wait ten steps back before discussing it."

At this time, many people on the public screen who were watching the excitement also came out to speak for him.

cangximo45088: Don't quit the game, we big guys just want to play female characters, what's the matter, who allows only women to wear beautiful skirts, but men can't wear them? [angry.jpg]

I looked at my wallet and said: Hehehe, I'm selling my latest mini skirt. Do you want one? I'll sell it to you at a low price:-D

The most hateful one is the guy who leaked my personal information. It’s really disgusting. Fortunately, he was blocked by the administrator.

Youluomengranran: I just came in. May I ask if you have finished chatting? Where is the master? Who is the master? I want to hear the master talk [idiotic smile.jpg].

Lucifer is God’s wife: =_= Uh… I can’t get through to the Great God, he’s not online, so just give up on this idea.

Youluo Meng Ranran: No! I will never give up. I am the indestructible cockroach, the eternal Big Bad Wolf. I will definitely come back.

Lucifer is God’s wife: …what’s wrong with you?

Zhou Zhou You Shi Jie: Hey, helper, please come online quickly, someone has issued a bounty order. Now many people are blocking the gang members at the city gate, and they are also calling themselves great gods, saying that they want us to hand over the people and hide Dong Dong until he reaches level 10.

Ling Luo Sunset: Damn, are they crazy? Do they take themselves too seriously? The great god hasn't spoken yet, so why should they complain?

Xuannv Tiaodeng: It's so annoying, they are blocking the door and I can't get in to hand in the task.

The Domineering Boss’s Little Sweet Wife: That’s right, Boss, please take care of it. I have finally gotten an adventure, and I don’t want to miss such a good reward!

Chi Dong was still hesitating whether to quit the game, but after seeing the words on the public screen, this idea became more firm. He bit his lip and tapped quickly with his hand suspended above the keyboard.

Dongdong hid himself and said: This matter was caused by me, don't worry, it will not involve you anymore.

Chi Dong did not speak again. After typing this sentence on the public screen, he left the microphone. Before others could react, he quickly disappeared from the channel. Jiang Ying and the thousands of people present were left staring at each other in astonishment.

Chifanla and Juhuashuangfangbutttong were the first to react and quickly checked their friend lists. As expected, Chidong's YY account avatar was gray and the private chat also indicated that the account was offline.

Just when they were anxious and didn't know what to do, someone suddenly posted a forum link on the public screen. Everyone clicked on it and saw that it was Chi Dong's recent announcement of quitting the game.

The content of the post was not much, and Chi Dong did not give too much explanation for himself, but directly admitted the fact that he concealed his gender.

But he didn't tell everyone that he had known for a long time that he was a boy. In his opinion, these things were no longer important.

Now, by issuing this statement, on the one hand, I want to take this opportunity to make Shibushayiren give up. I don't want to delay his feelings, and I don't want his reputation to be damaged because of these messy things.

On the other hand, he is now in a state of heartbreak and unemployment, and has no time and energy to continue playing games. In addition, school is about to start, and he feels that it is time for him to seriously think about his future - whether to stay in Beijing or go to other cities for development.

Long before the incident broke out, he had already prepared for the worst - quitting the game.

When he failed to make contact and killed a person in Ten Steps, he was very moved to see that the gang not only did not blame him, but also comforted and trusted him. However, he soon fell into deep self-blame again.

He stopped writing the quitting statement that he was about to post, and first went to the YY channel to explain to them publicly, and then went to the forum to post.

During this period, he was a little hesitant, but then he thought that the people in the gang had already been implicated by him, and they were all stuck in the game and couldn't have fun.

Most importantly, he was unwilling to drag it out and give more hope and possibility to kill one person in ten steps, nor did he want to see the other party get hurt because of his refusal.

Although he had known him for less than a year, he felt unusually familiar with him, so familiar that he almost confused him with someone else.

Chi Dong remembered that there were several times when the two of them were playing in a dungeon, and listening to the voice and tone of the person speaking to him, he would even have a vague illusion that he was talking to Bu Qianli.

At first, this illusion only occurred occasionally. I thought it was because I was overthinking that this strange feeling occurred.

As the relationship between the two people in the game became closer and closer, and as the meetings with the senior in the company became more and more frequent, over time, the frequency of this illusion became higher and higher, and he even began to feel confused and scared.

He was confused. Could there really be two people in this world who were so similar? Whether it was the tone of voice, the words they used, or the familiar places they mentioned during the conversation.

This made him wonder if there was something wrong with his memory, or... he was so obsessed with someone that he projected this emotion onto Killing One Person in Ten Steps?

He was afraid that one day he would completely treat Shibushayiren and Bu Qianli as the same person.

Just as he was hesitating about how to solve the problem, an accident happened.

He got drunk and foolishly ran to confess to Bu Qianli, but was ruthlessly rejected by the other party. Then Shibusha Yiren also expressed his feelings to him in the game.

This once again plunged him into confusion and bewilderment.

He was simply unable to respond to his feelings, and he knew in his heart that his dependence on and closeness to the other party was largely due to that illusion.

In order to stop this inappropriate thought and to prevent more people from getting hurt, Chi Dong finally decided to quit the game.

At the same time, comments on the forums surrounding the withdrawal announcement were rapidly increasing. Some expressed regret, some mocked, and some began to debate whether this incident was really necessary.

*

Bu Qianli came out of the hospital and was about to go back to the company to handle work.

During this period, although he was unable to respond to the news in time because he was in the hospital, he specifically instructed Jiang Ying to take care of Chi Dong's condition.

When he drove back to the company, he learned from the report of the human resources manager that the late winter internship period had been terminated early.

This matter did not need to be reviewed by him, but ever since the last incident of senior employees bullying interns in the company, Bu Qianli asked the HR manager to focus on the interns' dynamics, but he did not mention anything about Chi Dong.

Therefore, Wang Yuanli, who was in charge of personnel, did not even raise his head when Chidong came to him that day to talk about terminating his internship early. He gave him a few formal words of advice, but seeing that Chidong was determined, he quickly signed the consent form and forgot about the matter.

It was not until Chen Lian asked about the interns' current situation and specifically mentioned Chi Dong that Wang Yuanli realized that the consent form he signed was his.

He was suddenly panicked, his heart beating fast, wondering whether he should quickly confess to Chen Lian.

While he was struggling, Bu Qianli had already returned to the company. Wang Yuanli hid in the office and thought about it. He felt that the president was busy with many things and might not pay attention to the issue of an intern's stay or departure, so he relaxed a little.

When doing the monthly report to Bu Qianli, he mentioned a few words about the performance of this group of interns in a roundabout way, but deliberately avoided mentioning Chi Dong's name.

After listening to the report, Bu Qianli frowned slightly, and his deep eyes glanced at Wang Yuanli indifferently. He saw that his face was calm, but the panic in his eyes betrayed him.

Bu Qianli flipped through the report in front of him, scanning the paper until he finally stopped at the list page at the bottom. His face was grim, "Whose name was crossed out?"

Wang Yuanli was shocked by Bu Qianli's reaction and hesitantly explained, "The intern's name is... Chi Dong. Because his work performance was not particularly outstanding, I agreed to his resignation."

"Not good?" Bu Qianli interrupted him, her eyes sharp, "I have been paying attention to his work performance, and there is nothing wrong with it. Who suggested that he terminate his internship early?"

Wang Yuan's forehead was sweating, and he answered in a low voice: "Yes... He proposed it himself. He said that something happened at home and wanted to terminate the internship early."

Wang Yuanli didn't expect Bu Qianli to take this matter so seriously. In recent years, there have been cases of interns leaving the company early, but he never took it so seriously.

Could it be... that this Chi Dong is the son of some director?

Bu Qianli said coldly: "Such a big thing, why didn't you report it to me?"

Hearing Bu Qianli's suppressed angry tone, Wang Yuanli immediately felt something was wrong. A chill ran up his spine, and his hands trembled twice in shock.

"Mr. Bu, actually I, I thought about reporting to you a few days ago, but you were not in the company during that time, so I..." Wang Yuanli explained stutteringly, trying to excuse himself.

Bu Qianli was silent for a few seconds. He knew that he could not blame anyone else for this. It was his own fault that he did not expect Chi Dong to leave the company early.

He glanced at Wang Yuanli coldly: "...Okay, leave your things here and get out first."

Hearing this, Wang Yuanli secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but on the surface he pretended to be anxious, fearing that Bu Qianli would put all the blame on him if she was unhappy.

He nodded and bowed hurriedly, saying, "Yes, yes, I'll be out right away, you go on." After that, he quickly turned around, opened the door, and almost rushed out, his steps were hurried and panicked, as if there was a flood of beasts chasing him from behind.

After Wang Yuanli left, Bu Qianli immediately took out his cell phone, tapped the screen with his slender fingers, and dialed the number that he had pinned some time ago.

The phone was pressed against my ear, and the beeping sound from it was particularly clear in the silence. Time passed by, and the ringing continued, but no one answered.

Bu Qianli's thin lips pursed unconsciously, and his hand holding the phone tightened slightly. The ringing sound of no one answering the call was like a hammer, hitting his heart hard.

He called several times, but still no one answered.

Bu Qianli could no longer suppress the uneasiness in his heart. He stood up suddenly, holding his coat, with a stern look on his face.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Jiang Ying standing outside with a complicated expression, which was not very good-looking.

"Ah Ying? What are you doing here?" Bu Qianli looked at him with a frown, "Let's talk about work tomorrow. I have to go out for something."

"I..." Jiang Ying looked at Bu Qianli's expression and suddenly hesitated whether to speak.

Before he arrived, his computer was still on and the game was still logged in. After hearing from his friends that Bu Qianli had been discharged from the hospital and returned to the company, he immediately made several calls, but no one answered, and the message kept saying "the other party is busy." In a hurry, he had to drive all the way back to the company.

He originally wanted to tell Bu Qianli that Dongdong's real-life information that he had hidden in the game had been exposed by someone.

As a result, as soon as he got up the elevator, he saw Wang Yuanli from the Human Resources Department walking out of the office with a look of relief on his face. From his expression, it seemed as if he had touched the chin of the person inside.

Seeing this, Jiang Ying, who was about to rush in, stopped involuntarily, and the scene of opening the door and looking at each other in surprise occurred.

Bu Qianli was so anxious at the moment that he didn't want to spend time with him. Seeing Jiang Ying standing still at the door, he became even more unhappy and said, "Get out of the way." Without waiting for Jiang Ying's reaction, he waved his hand, pushed him aside, and strode towards the elevator.

Jiang Ying was stunned. It was the first time he saw Bu Qianli so anxious. Before he could figure it out, he hurriedly chased after him and shouted, "...Qianli, don't leave yet. I have something to tell you!"

Bu Qianli kept walking without moving his eyebrows or eyes, and replied without turning his head: "Let's talk about it tomorrow." After that, he stepped into the elevator.

Jiang Ying had no time to follow behind him and could only watch the door close. Suddenly, he was so anxious that his voice changed: "...Dongdong is in trouble!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the elevator door slowly closed. Jiang Ying stood there, silent for a few seconds, and couldn't help but sigh.

During the days when his friend disappeared, he didn't answer calls or reply to messages. Even when Dongdong hid and contacted him, there was no response.

It seems that what was said on the forum is true. My friend really dislikes Dongdong because he hides his identity as a man disguised as a woman.

Just as Jiang Ying was feeling sorry for Dong Dong's hiding experience, suddenly, a familiar voice came from not far away. He looked up suddenly and found that the elevator door was opened again.

Bu Qianli stood in the elevator, staring at him with eyes as sharp as a knife, her voice low and cold: "...What did you just say?"

Seeing Bu Qianli's indifferent look, Jiang Ying was about to fulfill Dongdong's intention to hide and not think about it anymore. However, at this moment, Bu Qianli's face was terribly gloomy, and his sharp eyes fell on Jiang Ying. A cold aura that Jiang Ying had never seen before suddenly emanated from him.

"What happened to Dongdong?" Bu Qianli's voice contained a hint of suppressed urgency.

Seeing him come back, Jiang Yingzhang breathed a sigh of relief and hurried forward to explain: "I sent you many messages and called you several times, but I haven't received your reply."

"...The phone is blocked." Bu Qianli opened his phone and checked it. As expected, all the messages and call notifications were blocked and put into the trash. He swiped around a few times and found that there were not only messages from Jiang Ying, but also messages from several friends.

However, the person he wanted to see the most had never sent him a single message, let alone made a phone call.

"What happened in Chidong?" There was a barely perceptible nervousness in Bu Qianli's tone.

"It's not Chidong, it's the Dongdong in the game." Jiang Ying still didn't know that Chidong was the hidden Dongdong, so when he heard Bu Qianli say Chidong's name, he couldn't help but explain.

"He is hiding Dongdong." Bu Qianli was calm and composed, not realizing at all how shocking what he said was.

Jiang Ying was so shocked that he almost dropped his phone on the ground. His eyes widened and his tone was full of disbelief: "What did you say? Did I hear you correctly? You said he hid it?"

Bu Qianli nodded, and said calmly: "Yes, Chidong is hiding."

Jiang Ying stood there in a daze, his mind in a mess. He never imagined that the "sister-in-law" he had always thought of was actually Chi Dong, an intern in the company. And Bu Qianli had obviously known about this for a long time.

"So... you knew it a long time ago?" Jiang Ying asked tentatively.

"Um."

"Damn it! How did you know that? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Bu Qianli did not answer directly, but asked back: "You just said that Dongdong was in trouble, what happened?"

"He..." Jiang Ying shook his head, his expression became a little embarrassed, and his eyes did not dare to look directly at Bu Qianli, "He was exposed as a shemale, and then someone..."

Bu Qianli's face suddenly darkened, "What?"

Jiang Ying hesitated, "People said he deliberately cheated you out of money and sex, and finally uh...his phone number and address were leaked on the forum."

Without waiting for Bu Qianli to get angry, Jiang Ying closed his eyes and said, "He didn't explain, but just apologized to us. Then I couldn't contact you, so I thought he was really a liar, so I... didn't defend him. Now he... has been forced to quit the game."

"...Okay, very good." Bu Qianli was so angry at this point that he couldn't suppress his rage anymore. The hostility in his eyes would scare anyone who saw it.

It was the first time that Jiang Ying saw him so angry. He swallowed a mouthful of water involuntarily and hurried to save him, saying, "Don't be angry. I later felt something was wrong, so I asked the employees in the company's technical department to delete the post. But I don't know what happened there. The post was deleted, but the poster's IP was not found. Don't worry, I will gather everyone now and will definitely find the person who caused the trouble."

Bu Qianli narrowed her eyes and looked at him coldly. The low pressure emanating from her body enveloped her entire body, and her voice was so cold that it made people shiver.

"…No need. The company doesn't keep waste." After saying that, he quickly turned on the computer and logged into the system backend as the highest-privileged administrator. He directly blocked all the posts, comments, pictures, etc. related to that day, and then blocked the IP addresses that had splashed dirty water, posted bad comments, or harassed Chi Dong one by one. In particular, he found the person who posted the original post in just a few steps and sent it to his assistant Chen Lian, asking him to investigate in detail.

Jiang Ying, who was standing by, saw the whole process. Seeing that he had finished it so quickly, his tense nerves finally relaxed. He smiled happily and said, "It was done so quickly. You really deserve to be the boss. Hehehe, now Dongdong is hiding. Oh no, it should be Chidong. Chidong will definitely return to the gang now, right?"

Bu Qianli did not answer his question. His face was tense, and his dark eyes seemed to be brewing the coming storm. "...Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, I want to see all the staff of the technical department in the conference room."

The technical department was managed by Jiang Ying, so when Bu Qianli made this request, Jiang Ying immediately agreed.

He patted his chest and assured, "No problem, I'll notify them now, don't worry, boss, no one will be missing tomorrow."

Bu Qianli looked at him with an unclear expression, and suddenly smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes, which made people feel creepy.

What Bu Qianli didn't tell Jiang Ying was that he found traces of tampering on the terminal.

"...Well, I hope everything will be just as you said tomorrow, without missing a single one."

"I have something to go out for, you go back and rest."

Hearing this, Jiang Ying was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to his senses, "Where are you going?"

Bu Qianli frowned, ignored his calls, and strode out the door. His hurried back revealed his impatience and anxiety.

*

Outside the dormitory building, the withered yellow leaves swirled in the autumn wind, one after another, giving people a sense of desolation.

At this time, Chi Dong was sitting in a daze, staring at the computer screen. He had already applied to delete his account. As long as he waited for 12 hours, the account would be permanently deleted, and there would no longer be the game character "Dong Dong Hides".

Just as he was about to uninstall the game and stop wasting his time on anything related to the game, there was a sudden, urgent knock on the door. The knock was heavy and strange.

His movement to stand up suddenly froze, and the chair rubbed against the ground, making a sharp and piercing sound in the silent space.

Listening to the increasingly urgent noises coming from outside the door, Chi Dong's eyes were filled with confusion and vigilance. He looked up at the clock. It was nine o'clock in the evening.

Who could be looking for him at this late hour?

The person outside the door just knocked hard without saying a word. At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Chidong's mind uncontrollably and his heart beat faster and faster.

Chi Dong didn't dare to make a sound. He didn't know who was outside the door. He was about to turn on his cell phone to ask the people in the next dormitory, but when he picked up the phone, he found that it had run out of battery and turned off automatically.

He hurriedly plugged in the data cable, and when the battery level showed 1%, he quickly pressed the power button. His fingertips turned slightly white due to nervousness, and he felt a little uneasy and dangerous in his heart.

[Winter]: @Society Shakes @Big Brother, are you guys in the dormitory?

Chi Dong was quite familiar with the students living next door to his dormitory and they would often visit each other to play games. Later, in order to find game partners, they decided to create a small group of about ten people, which included students from the same floor.

The two people Chidong mentioned at this time were the ones who applied to stay in school during the summer vacation just like him.

Soon, almost the next second after I tagged them, they replied.

[Society Shakes]: What's the matter? I'm not in the dormitory. There was a company dinner today and I was eating outside.

[Big Brother]: I'm not at school either, but I'm on my way back. What's going on? What happened?

Seeing that they all said they were not there, Chi Dong's heart instantly lifted up. Since they were not there, he was the only one left on this floor. He did not order takeout. Who was knocking on the door? Or what... thing?

[Northern Lin Junjie]: @Dong Xiaodong, what’s wrong?

[Zyz]: Why can’t I get through to @冬 on the phone?

[Dong]: It’s nothing, there was just someone knocking on the door, and I thought it was Brother Xiao and the others looking for me.

Seeing Zhou Yize and Lin Jie asking questions, Chi Dong came to his senses and quickly replied.

[Zyz]: It's so late, how could someone be knocking on the door? There must be something wrong. Don't open the door or respond. I'll call the dorm manager.

[Northern JJ Lin]: Could it be that someone from another floor went to the wrong place and knocked on the wrong door?

[Big Brother]: Don’t worry, I’ll be back in ten minutes. Wait for me.

[Winter]: [Rabbit nods.jpg]

At this time, outside the door, the shadows of the trees were swaying, and the occasional sound of insects made the dormitory building seem particularly quiet.

A thin figure appeared on the floor where Chi Dong was. He was wearing a black shirt and black pants, and a hat on his head that was pulled very low, covering most of his face. It was obvious that there was something wrong with him.

The man tiptoed up the stairs. The corridor was quiet and empty. The security guard who was supposed to be on duty on the first floor had gone back to rest early because he felt cold. He did not notice anyone sneaking in.

He walked straight to the door of Chidong, looked up and carefully checked the house number information. After confirming that it was correct, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smug smile.

Then, the sound of "Knock, knock, knock" on the door seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet corridor.

There was no response from inside the door.

He frowned and complained quietly, "Strange, the address the boss gave me is clearly 606, Cuixuan Building, Z University, and I didn't make a mistake, so why is there no one to open the door?"

"...A college student is trying to be a mistress, and she's a male mistress. I don't know if she's sick."

While complaining, he knocked a few more times, this time a little harder.

“Boom boom boom—”

However, after knocking for a long time, there was still no response, so he began to get anxious and knocked more violently. At this time, he was thinking about asking the boss for a higher price, when a slender hand with distinct joints suddenly grabbed his wrist from behind.

"What are you doing?" A low and cold voice sounded in his ears.

The person who came was Bu Qianli, who drove from the company to look for Chi Dong. In order to enter the school smoothly, he first borrowed the door card from his senior's home, so he arrived at the dormitory building a little later than originally planned.

I parked the car and went upstairs, but just as I walked out of the elevator and before I got close, I heard someone knocking on the door from a distance.

The thin man froze, his hand that was about to knock on the door stopped in mid-air. He turned his head guiltily and was caught off guard by a pair of sharp eyes.

At this moment, Bu Qianli was standing behind him. His 1.80-meter-tall figure looked particularly oppressive under the dim light, especially with his expressionless face, which made people feel cold in their hearts.

"I... I just..." The thin man stammered, with obvious panic in his voice.

"Just what?" Bu Qianli's voice was as cold as ice, and the strength in his hands increased a bit, causing the other person to grimace in pain.

"I, I just knocked on the wrong door... Yes, I knocked on the wrong door." The thin man tried to break free, but Bu Qianli's hand held him tightly like an iron clamp, and he couldn't move at all.

"Knocked on the wrong door?" Bu Qianli sneered. Seeing his evasive gaze, he glanced at the unknown water bottle in the bag in his hand and asked sharply, "Knocked on the wrong door with this?"

The thin man's face turned pale instantly, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. He knew he could no longer defend himself, so his eyes began to wander around, trying to find a chance to escape.

"Okay, you don't want to tell me, right? Then we can only meet at the police station."

"Hey, no, no, no, I'm telling you, isn't that enough?" When the man saw that he really took out his cell phone to make a call, he was so scared that he was shaking all over, sweating profusely, and immediately shouted loudly, fearing that if he was a second late, he would be caught as a criminal and thrown into jail.

Bu Qianli said with a cold face: "Hurry up and tell me."

"...I said, but can you loosen your grip a little? It hurts me a little." More than a little, it hurts like hell, okay? The man tried hard to hold back the pain, his eyes rolled around, and it was obvious that he had bad intentions.

Bu Qianli ignored him and instead held him even tighter, leaving him no chance to escape.

The thin man was frightened by his vicious look and dared not speak anymore. "I... I'm here to look for someone."

"Come to look for someone in the middle of the night?"

"Yes, yes, I'm here to see a friend."

"The person you are looking for is in Room 606?"

Hearing this, the thin man's body trembled instantly, and he hunched his shoulders. When he answered Bu Qianli, he showed his black and yellow teeth, which was really disgusting. "Uh...uh, if I remember correctly, yes, there is."

Bu Qianli raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully, "Really?"

The thin man nodded frantically: "Yes, yes, my good friend goes to this school and lives in 606."

"…What a coincidence? I have a friend living here too."

"Uh, hahahaha...that's what a coincidence." When the thin man heard this, a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on the tip of his nose and his lips trembled violently, for fear that others would not notice his abnormality.

Looking at the arrogance in Bu Qianli's eyes, he was so scared that he wished he had never been here and disappeared right away. He didn't want to go to the police station for a small bill.

"Then, then I won't disturb you from visiting your friends. I... I have something to do, so I'll leave first." He tried to get away with it, but what he didn't know was that Bu Qianli had already called the police long before he was caught by Bu Qianli.

Now we are just stalling for time and waiting for the police to arrive.

"Don't even think about it. You can't get away." Bu Qianli had seen through his thoughts long ago and said coldly, "I've already called the police."

Just as he finished speaking, there was a sound of hurried footsteps at the end of the corridor, and several security guards and police officers quickly arrived.

It was not late at night, and students from all the buildings stayed behind. When they heard the noise, they ran out to watch. The thin man saw this and lowered his head, knowing that he had no way to escape.

Bu Qianli loosened his hand and watched him coldly as he was taken away by the police, without a trace of pity in his eyes. Almost an hour had passed until everyone left, the security guards and dormitory managers dispersed the surrounding students, and the chaos was quelled.

Bu Qianli turned around, walked to Chi Dong's door and knocked gently.

"Dongdong, open the door, it's me." His voice softened, with a hint of soothing.

There was a slight noise from the door, and it slowly opened. Chi Dong stood at the door, his face pale and with a hint of panic in his eyes.

"Senior..." he said softly, his voice trembling. He heard everything that happened outside clearly. As early as when he heard Bu Qianli's voice, he wanted to open the door, but as soon as his hand was on the handle and he had no time to turn it, he received a text message asking him not to come out.

Bu Qianli smiled slightly, reached out to pat his shoulder, and said in a gentle tone: "It's okay, the man has been taken away."

Unexpectedly, before his hand touched Chi Dong, Chi Dong took a step back unconsciously as if he was shocked. When he came to his senses, he realized that his reaction was a bit inappropriate, and he lowered his head quickly, with a hint of panic in his voice: "I... Thank you, senior."

Bu Qianli's hand paused in the air, then slowly withdrew. His eyes were still gentle, but with a hint of depth.

"You're welcome. This is what I do."

Chi Dong was a little embarrassed and wanted to change the subject: "Senior, it's so late, why are you here?"

Bu Qianli's expression became serious and his eyes were deep: "I came here to confess something to you."

"Confess...to me?" Chi Dong was slightly stunned, feeling vaguely uneasy.

Bu Qianli's voice was calm and composed, as if she was talking about something very ordinary: "I know you are Dongdong who is hiding."

Chi Dong's mind went blank for a moment, and he opened his mouth: "What... do you mean?"
