Chapter 192 - 192 The Investigation



Zhao Fu and the others shared a look, wondering how best to begin or how much they should say.

Meng Yu returned to his seat and toyed with his nails. “I don’t like listening to lies,” he said, “So think carefully before you speak. Whoever confesses the slowest will have their flesh fed to the dogs.”

When they heard Meng Yu’s threat, the eight of them rushed to be the first ones heard, going so far as to attack their companions to get ahead. Not one of them wanted to have their skin fed to the dogs.

A sudden surge of renewed ferocity emerged from Zhao Fu. He ruthlessly beat back his companions, forcing them to the ground one by one as he shouted, “We were contracted to gang rape a female student named Shen Xi at Zhuo Ying High School. They wanted us to disfigure and record her struggle for a video.”

“Once we completed our end of the bargain, we would receive 500,000 yuan. They very generously gave us half of it as a deposit.”

Suspicious, Meng Yu clarified, “Are you saying they only asked you to deal with a girl named Shen Xi?”

Zhao Fu recalled that Meng Yu and Xue Li spoke of a ‘young master’, so they likely were not on that girl’s side. “Yes, yes. Our target is a girl called Shen Xi. We never meant to hurt this Young Master of yours.”

Zhao Fu’s confession piqued Meng Yu’s interest. It seemed Guan Lei had been hurt because of some girl. That was a first.

“Who hired you to hurt that girl?” Xue Li interrupted.

Xue Li was unsure if Meng Yu knew about Guan Lei and Shen Xi’s relationship. While she knew that Shen Xi was someone special to Guan Lei, Meng Yu might not. Therefore, even if the target this time were not the Young Master, she would still thoroughly investigate the matter.

Zhao Fu shook his head and said, “We don’t know the details. One day, an unknown account added me as a friend and sent this message. I was short on cash, so I asked a few others to join me, thinking it would be easy money.”

“Send me that person’s contact information,” Meng Yu said.

“I’ve given it to this young miss,” Zhao Fu answered, pointing timidly at Xue Li.

Xue Li signalled one of her men, and he quickly retrieved the phones Zhao Fu and his friends had surrendered.

“Which one is it?” Xue Li asked.

Zhao Fu pointed at his phone. “The red one.”

Xue Li handed the red cell phone to Zhao Fu, who unlocked it without prompting. He searched his contact history and soon found the person who had contacted him. At the same time, he showed Meng Yu the details regarding the money transfer.

Meng Yu swiped the phone and handed it to one of his underlings. “Find out who the account owner is and check the bank details of whoever made the transfer.”

Meng Yu’s underling accepted the phone and made a few calls, even sending out a few messages. Soon, he received a reply.

“Mr Meng, our sources indicate that the transfer came from an overseas account. The social media account’s owner is also from abroad, so it’ll take more time to get more details.”

Meng Yu sneered. He did not expect the mastermind to be so cautious.

“Xue Li, these are the results of our preliminary enquiry. It would be best if you went back. I still have some things I would like to discuss with these gentlemen. This room isn’t for someone like you whose path is paved on blood and bones.” Meng Yu got up to send them off.

It was not until Xue Li closed the door behind her that she realised something was off. This was the Guan family’s villa. How could Meng Yu chase her out?

As vexed as she was, Xue Li did not re-enter the room. Shrill screams sounded from the door as she turned to leave. Xue Li shook her head and prayed that those eight men would not suffer too much.

It was eight in the morning when Xue Li sent the results of their investigation to Guan Lei.

Everyone stared when Shen Xi and Guan Lei arrived at Grade 12, Class 2.

Shen Xi was confused, but Zhao Yuan soon brought her up to speed. “Xixi, the two of you should read the school forum. It’s full of dirt on you, and it’s already trending outside the school.”
