"You're Qiao Suinian?"
As soon as Qiao Suinian and his group returned to the auditorium, the five uninvited guests came to greet them.
The five of them stood in seemingly random positions, but in reality, they cut off all of Qiao Suinian's escape routes, subtly forming a pincer movement.
"It's me, what's wrong?" Qiao Suinian replied calmly.
"Do you know Lin Wanling?" The man in the lead was tall and had calluses on his knuckles, clearly a trained fighter.
Such people are extremely powerful in combat. In the early stages of the apocalypse, ordinary level one or two awakened individuals would probably not be a match for such skilled fighters.
As he spoke, the man stared intently into Qiao Suinian's eyes, as if trying to see through them to his heart.
“I know her, but… she’s dead, turned into a zombie.” Qiao Suinian pursed her lips, a look of sadness and pain flashing across her face.
"Oh? Is that so? How did she die?" The man narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint in them.
"It was me, I killed her."
Qiao Suinian clenched his fists, his body trembling slightly, and anyone could see the unease in his heart.
The man froze on the spot.
Although he had suspected that Lin Wanling might have been killed by Qiao Suinian, Qiao Suinian's sudden admission made him somewhat unsure.
Then he heard Qiao Suinian say something.
"After Lin Wanling turned into a zombie, I had no choice but to kill her. Everyone in the auditorium can testify to that," Qiao Suinian said, forcing back her grief.
"Then how did she turn into a zombie?" the man asked, narrowing his eyes.
"The way you're asking that, you must have accidentally been bitten by a zombie, what else could it be?" Qiao Suinian blinked, her eyes filled with a pure innocence untouched by knowledge.
The man suddenly felt a tightness in his chest; he felt as if every question he asked was like punching cotton, causing him great discomfort.
"By the way, I haven't yet asked where you all come from?" Qiao Suinian changed the subject and asked.
"My name is Su Su, and we come from... the Ye family!"
Upon hearing the name "Ye family," a murderous glint flashed in Qiao Suinian's eyes, but he quickly concealed it. He was not yet qualified to challenge the Ye family, so he put on a very surprised expression.
"The Ye family? Is it the Ye family of the 'Leaf of the Fallen Sky'?"
"Could it be that there's another Ye family in Jinghai City?" Su Su asked rhetorically.
"I've heard so much about you! I never imagined I'd have the chance to deal with such an important figure in the Ye family! This life has been truly worthwhile!"
Qiao Suinian rubbed his hands together like a greenbottle fly, his face full of excitement.
"Alright, enough with the flattery. I'll cut to the chase. I'm asking you, before Lin Wanling died, you went to the grove behind the mountain with her. What did you say and do?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Su lowered his body by two centimeters, clearly ready for battle.
His little action might have gone unnoticed by others, but it naturally couldn't escape Qiao Suinian's observation.
Are they going to resort to violence at the slightest disagreement? The Ye family is as domineering as ever, Qiao Suinian thought with a cold smile, but her expression instantly turned shy.
"We...we hugged each other..."
"Anything else?" Su Su pressed.
"They even...kissed each other..."
"And what else..."
“And…” Qiao Suinian gave Su Su a knowing look that any man could understand.
Su Su frowned involuntarily.
He knew very well the relationship between Lin Wanling and his young master. Would Lin Wanling really mess around with other men?
Before Qiao Suinian and the others returned, Su Su had already questioned almost everyone present, and the information he got from each person was roughly the same.
That is, Qiao Suinian and Lin Wanling are a pair of star-crossed lovers. Just after they confirmed their relationship, Lin Wanling unexpectedly turned into a zombie.
Then, for the sake of the greater good, Qiao Suinian sacrificed his own family and tearfully killed Lin Wanling, who had turned into a zombie.
This matches what Qiao Suinian said.
However, Su Su felt that something was not quite right, as if there was a thick, unsolvable mystery surrounding this matter.
However, successfully finding out about Lin Wanling is enough to give the young master an explanation.
"Xiang Wenkang, you and the other three brothers stay here at Jinghai University. No one is allowed to leave during this time. I will take Lin Wanling's body back to report and see what the young master thinks."
The Ye family has a professional forensic doctor, so even though Lin Wanling has become a zombie, they can still determine the cause of her death.
Su Su's mercenary instincts told him that this matter was definitely not that simple.
Su Su put Lin Wanling's head and headless corpse into a large bag, and then left.
After Su Su left, a glint of light flashed in Qiao Suinian's eyes.
Lin Wanling's death obviously changed many things. For example, in his previous life, he only had contact with the Ye family for the first time after he reached level ten or so.
In this life, before the second round even began, he had already run into the Ye family.
Once Su Su brings Lin Wanling's body back to the Ye family, Ye Diyun, given his personality, will certainly not let him off the hook.
Time is running out for me.
Qiao Suinian glanced at the time.
February 13, 2060, 5:54 AM.
The sky was beginning to lighten, and in another twenty minutes, it would be fully light. That would be the time when the second round of awakening would begin.
He glanced coldly at the four people, including Xiang Wenkang, who had been left behind. Consider these four as interest on his debt to the Ye family.
