Chapter 37 Testing Time
After roughly confirming that Lin Guantang was just an unimportant bait, Sheng Fenghua didn't want to continue staying here and wasting time.
But before leaving, looking at this omega who was completely oblivious to everything, he couldn't help but feel a little teasing and said meaningfully:
"Compared to your current boyfriend, your ex-boyfriend really pales in comparison. It's really distressing that he keeps clinging to you and prevents you from focusing on your current boyfriend."
Lin Guantang: ...
What does this mean? Isn't the fact that he has a boyfriend just made up? Why does this young lady act as if it is true?
Could it be that there was some misunderstanding?
But there is also the possibility that she is an accomplice of the suspect, who dumped her ex-boyfriend after wanting to test whether she is really the richer boyfriend on the list.
There are simply too few clues for Lin Guantang to come up with more useful information, but it’s always right to maintain her current persona of “getting rid of her ex-boyfriend who was used as a stepping stone after meeting her current boyfriend who is a higher level than her”.
Lin Guantang became even more suspicious and put on some caution, asking tentatively:
"Do you know who my current boyfriend is?"
It sounds like he is sincerely asking people whether they know his boyfriend's identity, but also like he is deliberately showing off, just waiting for the person being asked to say "I don't know" so that he can brag about it.
Sheng Fenghua smiled and said:
"I only know a little bit about it. Now that you mention it, it makes me curious. What do you think of your current boyfriend's identity?"
So was there a misunderstanding, or was he trying to test something?
Facing Sheng Fenghua's interested gaze, Lin Guantang bit his lip, hesitated for a moment, and then said vaguely and reluctantly:
"Of course he is... a very powerful figure, but he's very busy and hates being disturbed. Even I can't contact him casually. Well, in short, don't try to hit on him, and I can't tell you his identity. Miss Sheng, please forgive me."
Oh, this kind of mysticism is really Huo Shizhen's style——
Although Huo Shizhen has a bad reputation and is avoided by prominent families in the imperial capital and those involved in pheromone-related business, especially those in the gray area, few people know of his existence among the general public, and no information about him can be found on the Internet.
Moreover, what Lin Guantang said was really typical... an omega who got ahead by relying on his looks, after grabbing a high-quality stock, wanted to show off but was afraid of being snatched away, and had to endure it, and finally couldn't help but warn others not to snatch it from him.
This made Sheng Fenghua even more certain that such a superficial and foolish O would never be the prey that Huo Shizhen really wanted.
Putting aside other things, just considering Huo Shizhen's absolute protection of his own secrets, it would be impossible for him to find a partner who couldn't help but want to show off.
Furthermore, Lin Guantang's tone of being completely unaware of Huo Shizhen's true identity was not fake - he did not reveal any of his secrets at all, and even had to wait for a summons to contact him. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like he really wants to treat the other person as a partner.
Being secretive makes it sound like they are ready to abandon people at any time.
Thinking about it this way, the classmate Lin in front of me seems quite pitiful. How could he offend the ruthless devil as soon as he entered the outside world?
Sheng Fenghua couldn't help but feel extra compassion and reached out to touch Lin Guantang's soft hair. She smiled and comforted him:
"Don't think too much, sister. I'm a staunch B-sexual and have no interest in your alpha—Oh, by the way, be careful and safe on the way back. A cute little kitty like you could be spotted by someone with bad intentions."
Lin Guantang: ...
Don't suddenly say something that sounds like a joke or a teasing!
Looking at Lin Guantang's blushing face, Sheng Fenghua stood up happily.
She kindly reminded Lin Guantang to be careful among the people today, as there were dangerous people who had bad intentions towards him. As for whether he could understand the implied meaning, that was not within her concern.
After saying goodbye to him, Sheng Fenghua calmly stood up and left.
Lin Guantang still watched her walk out of his sight with a look of slight suspicion and doubt.
But he was thinking sadly in his heart that after tonight, his reputation would be extremely bad and everyone would know that he was a scum who despised the poor and loved the rich.
But this way he can have peace and quiet, and fewer people will come to chat with him.
Lin Guantang has always had a positive attitude, and finding good news from bad situations is a skill he is good at.
Nearly half an hour after Miss Sheng left, the hometown gathering was almost over. Just as Lin Guantang had guessed, many people who had initially paid attention to him no longer cared about his existence by the time the gathering ended.
The ex-boyfriend was probably really heartbroken by him and left quietly at halftime.
So in the end, it was Lin Guantang who left the venue alone. After going outside, he originally wanted to take the bus back directly, but suddenly he received a voice call. The surrounding environment was so noisy that he had to move around while talking on the phone, walking towards a quiet place with fewer people.
When people concentrate on doing something, it is always difficult for them to notice changes in the surrounding environment, just like Lin Guantang. He was so focused on finding a quiet place and talking to the person on the other end of the terminal that he didn't notice that he was walking towards a quiet and dim alley.
As the noisy sounds of the crowd faded away, his whispered voice gradually became clearer. Although it was still intermittent, one or two words could be heard occasionally, and it seemed that he was complaining about his ex-boyfriend.
It seems like he really despises me and doesn't care about the old feelings at all.
After walking a dozen steps into the dim alley, the sounds outside had become the noisy background, and Lin Guantang's voice could be heard clearly without having to try hard to identify it.
"At the party, many people asked me what happened between me and my ex-boyfriend and made various comments about my performance."
Lin Guantang stopped walking. His clear voice was even more audible in the quiet alley at night, like pearls falling into a jade dish:
"Some people asked what my ex-boyfriend had done to offend me, some advised me if I was too harsh on him, and there were all sorts of greetings, but they were just speaking from a spectator's perspective. Only one person said flatly that my ungrateful behavior would be punished, and made me regret everything I said and did today."
"You're saying this because you've already made up your mind to attack me, so you're so certain that I'll be punished, right? Let me introduce myself as Kong Hezhi."
Lin Guantang turned around, turned on the terminal's light, and raised it to shine at a location not far behind him.
Under the pale light, the follower with a gloomy face was only a dozen steps away from him.
Since he came to attend the college students' hometown reunion, he should be not much older than Lin Guantang, but the man in front of him was dressed in tattered clothes and had bloodshot eyes. He looked like a down-and-out middle-aged man.
Kong Hezhi chuckled, and his malicious gaze seemed to take shape and lingered towards him.
"So you've already noticed I was following you, yet you still dared to walk into the alley. You're quite brave."
"If I don't go this way, I won't be able to give you a chance to show yourself. If I don't figure out who was looking at me with such hatred at the party, I won't be able to sleep well."
Lin Guantang looked at him and said doubtfully:
"I don't think we've ever met. I'm really curious why you have such a strong hatred towards me."
"Curiosity kills the cat, especially a self-righteous fool like you."
Kong Hezhi sneered disdainfully. He had never expected him to be so foolish as to lead himself into the alley out of ridiculous curiosity.
"You don't think I'll let you go after you recognize me."
Lin Guantang shrugged, as if he were a naive student who had no idea what dangers he would face next.
"Then let me die knowingly. Why do you hate me so much? Don't tell me that you followed me here just because you were attracted by my beauty and wanted to have me."
At the end, his tone was filled with a sense of self-praise.
"Shut up! Shut up!"
It was unknown which word had irritated Kong Hezhi, causing him to lose control of his emotions, which had been trying to maintain composure just a moment ago. He howled loudly, his eyes filled with complete hatred:
"Idiot, bitch! I hate omegas like you who are so self-righteous just because you have a pretty face... No matter how good I am to people like you, I will only feed you ungrateful wolves!"
"Seeing your face, and that smug look on your face, makes me want to cut it off and turn it into something ugly, just to see who else you can seduce!"
As he spoke, he staggered towards Lin Guantang. Lin Guantang stepped back. He sniffed. Even though there was a barrier on the back of his neck, he could still smell the pheromones in the air.
But he still had a question that he had to ask.
Lin Guantang acted as if he had suddenly realized something and looked at him with horror:
"It's you—I saw the news. Several Os were murdered. It was said that the perpetrator specifically targeted Os who had broken up with someone, and they were all good-looking Os. The perpetrator thought they were unfaithful. Could it be you who committed the crime?"
Kong Hezhi laughed twice, not feeling guilty or afraid, but rather very proud. He stared at Lin Guantang, admiring his frightened expression, and said slowly:
"What's wrong with me? It's too late to remember and get scared now. I won't be soft-hearted and let you go."
Lin Guantang pulled the corner of his mouth and said with great disgust:
"You're too extreme. We're just an unmarried couple, not a married couple. Isn't breaking up a common thing? And what does my breakup with my ex-boyfriend have to do with you? Is it your turn to be angry?"
"Am I biased, or are you ungrateful bastards who despise the poor and love the rich?"
Kong Hezhi suddenly yelled, his expression extremely angry, but he started to laugh, but his smile was twisted, and his malice was completely exposed:
"Your ex-boyfriend is a spineless wimp. I'll be kind and teach you a lesson on his behalf. Tomorrow, you'll be one of those bitches who get taught a lesson, hehe... If you're still alive until tomorrow..."
——Kill him, kill him!
Seeing that the distance between the two people was only seven or eight steps, Kong Hezhi suddenly exerted force and pounced forward, bending his fingers and pinching Lin Guantang's neck.
It was almost an instant—
Lin Guantang subconsciously blinked a few times quickly, and felt a black shadow passing by in front of his eyes. Then he heard a sound like a broken bone, and a scream almost at the same time.
Of course, it wasn’t Lin Guantang’s cry.
