Chapter 266 Dormitory Number
While Shen Tong was following the boy with the broken bone out, Lu He and Xia Lan were also busy.
The two unearthed posts from hundreds of years ago, as well as articles gossiping about that period on various social media accounts at the school.
Most of the information was deleted by the school, and only a few pictures corroborated some of their conjectures.
The photos of the scene in that dormitory room show bloodstains on the ground, severed power lines, and a camera smashed on the ground.
It was indeed related to the issue of being secretly filmed.
"I've done some reasoning. The girl who stabbed the other might have been secretly filmed, and the person who was stabbed might be an accomplice in the filming..." Lu He made a bold guess.
“Yes, that so-called boyfriend might not be a boyfriend at all, but a buyer?” Xia Lan also voiced her thoughts.
As the two were pondering this, Xia Lan's phone suddenly rang; it was a notification from her alternate account.
The two quickly huddled together to look at the phone.
It's that alt account with the "Magic Eye" feature; they accepted the friend request!
The two looked at each other excitedly, and finally the fish took the bait!
Demon Eye: "Who introduced you?"
This sentence stumped me.
"Who introduced us? We don't know anyone else," Xia Lan asked Lu He for help.
Lu He gestured for her not to panic, and after thinking for a moment, said, "How about we say that Wu Jia introduced you?" Wu Jia was the boy whose leg was broken by Shen Tong.
For minor supporting roles, having a name is good enough; they're just random characters like A, B, or C.
"No way, right? Didn't Wu Jia just break up with him?" Xia Lan was referring to the incident where Lu He impersonated Wu Jia to fool the Demon Eye.
“We don’t know anyone else. We should have asked Shen Tong. She knows who else…” Lu He sighed in frustration, then added, “Right, I’ll call her and ask…”
Xia Lan wanted to stop her further: "Isn't she following us? Won't we be exposed?"
"No, no, she must have muted it beforehand. She has that much professionalism, right..." Although she said that, Lu He was actually not sure if she would expose Shen Tong's stalking.
But who cares? Letting her get exposed is good for letting her fight a few more times and curb her arrogance.
The call was answered quickly.
Upon hearing Lu He's question, the other end hurriedly replied, "Zhao An, Sun Wei. Don't call me unless it's important. I'm currently following this cripple... A few thugs are coming over there, I can't talk to you anymore..."
The call was disconnected with a click.
It seems there will be new developments over there soon.
Xia Lan replied to the name Shen Tong had given her: "Introduced by Zhao An."
The Demon Eye immediately lowered its guard: "So, kid, are you going to buy the V319?"
What does this mean?
Lu He gestured for Xia Lan to reply "yes".
Having just finished investigating the matter of room 404, Lu He keenly sensed that 319 probably also referred to a dormitory. All the clues provided must be related.
The Demon Eye asked again, "Zhao An told you the price, right? Pay first."
Xia Lan looked at Lu He again with pleading eyes.
Who knows?
"Tell him the money has already been given to Zhao An." Experience really makes a difference; a few more years of experience really does change things, his mind works so fast.
Demon Eye was clearly skeptical: "No way, they can't accept money privately."
“Transfer him 200 now,” Lu He decided to offer some bait: “If he says it’s too little, just say you’ve already given it to Zhao An once and this is all you can give him. If he says it’s too much, just say that’s the same amount you gave to Zhao An, and have them check it and return the extra money to you.”
"That's brilliant!" Xia Lan couldn't help but give a thumbs up. What a clever way to shift the blame.
This resolved the immediate crisis, but also created internal conflicts among them.
Lu He revealed a slightly proud expression.
Sure enough, the message from the other end of the line asked if I wanted to buy any other accounts besides 319.
Just as Lu He predicted, 200 was too much.
Xia Lan gave the Demon Eye the reply that Lu He had just taught her.
As expected, Magic Eye readily agreed and said they would deliver the goods the next day.
"This Zhao An is probably going to suffer tonight." Xia Lan actually felt a little sorry for this underling of the Demon Eye.
Lu He suddenly realized that if he monitored Zhao An tonight, he might be able to see the real Demon Eye directly.
It might be even more efficient than Shen Tong's side.
Xia Lan accurately captured the subtle changes in Lu He's expression, knowing that she had a new idea.
"Do you want to go?" Xia Lan knew her well and guessed what she wanted to do.
Lu He's gaze shifted to Xia Lan's shoulder. She had just applied medicine to it, and the bruise was no small injury; it would hurt to some extent when moving around.
"I'll go, but please don't go, okay?" Lu He tried to reason with her, asking her to stay home and rest.
Of course, it was rejected.
"You forgot I have light-footed skills? Even if it doesn't work, I can still run away..." Lu He made up an excuse, pretending to be relaxed. She wanted to go, but didn't want Xia Lan to take the risk with her.
“But I have the protagonist’s halo right now, I’m sure I’ll be fine, but you might be in trouble, how can I not worry…” Xia Lan’s eyes were full of concern and anxiety.
