Chapter 105: Do I Look Like Someone Who Only Wants the Body and Not the Heart
"Fuck, you guys are all thinking with your dicks—just going straight for the kidney? That's even more irresponsible to a girl. Taking advantage of someone and then saying you're not compatible—doesn't that make me a super scumbag?" Jiang Muye let out a sigh. "Alright, I'm going to wash my face and brush my teeth. No more bantering with you lot."
Jiang Muye went straight into the bathroom and started washing his face. His mind was a mess right now.
Before, peach blossoms wouldn't come at all. Now they were coming in droves.
They were all such outstanding girls—it really made him spoiled for choice. Turning any of them down felt like an incredibly cruel thing to do.
But no matter what, he had to face it.
Forget it. Sleep, sleep. Take it one step at a time.
Jiang Muye simply got into bed and went to sleep, refusing to think about those headache-inducing matters any longer.
Sure enough, the moment you touched anything to do with feelings, it left you feeling stifled.
The next morning, sunlight shone everywhere.
The grass on the plain was so green it made one's heart panic.
After kicking a ball around with his roommates during PE class, Jiang Muye finally heard the PE teacher blow the whistle to announce class was over.
By now Jiang Muye was covered in stinking sweat. He slung his arm around his brothers' shoulders and headed off to shower.
As it happened, Little White Dove's soap dropped—right by Jiang Muye's feet.
Little White Dove grinned and jeered at Jiang Muye, "Muzi, pick up my soap!"
"You want me to pick up your soap."
"Heh heh, we're all brothers. What's wrong with picking up some soap?"
"Not safe." Jiang Muye spat with a laugh. "You pick it up."
"No way, no way. Damn, last time Old He, that dumb dog, came over and rammed me—almost made me fall." Little White Dove snorted.
"Who told you to grab my soap? So of course I had to come mess with you." Old He, who was lathering up nearby, snorted.
"Is this the degeneration of human nature, or the distortion of morality?" Jiang Muye shook his head, grinning.
After joking around with his brothers, Jiang Muye came out of the public shower.
【Congratulations, Host, on successfully checking in at the public shower location. Duration: ten minutes. Reward: 700,000 RMB.】
After collecting his reward, Jiang Muye went to open the door of the changing stall.
The moment he opened his locker door, his smiling face froze.
"What's with you, standing there frozen?" Little White Dove had finished washing too and came over happily, dangling his bird out, only to find Jiang Muye's tense expression baffling.
He took a look—and cold sweat began seeping down his back.
Jiang Muye's locker door was wide open. Inside were many photos secretly taken of Jiang Muye—photos showing his face and body covered in slash marks from knives, with quite a bit of blood, along with dozens of bloodstained blades.
Beyond that, written in some liquid—impossible to tell if it was blood or paint—were two enormous characters: "DIE"!!!
"What the hell! Who did this!" Little White Dove was panicking badly.
Jiang Muye pressed his thin lips tightly together. "I don't know."
Old He and Kai heard the commotion and came over too. After seeing the scene inside the locker, they were stunned.
"Holy shit, is this real blood or fake? This is genuinely hair-raising!"
"It must be red paint, but this is way too serious. Someone's obviously trying to intimidate Muzi on purpose—way too arrogant!"
Jiang Muye's brows furrowed tightly.
It was indeed arrogant. While he was in there showering, the other party had managed to do this right under his nose without anyone noticing.
It was clearly a deliberate provocation.
Little White Dove found it inconceivable. "Who did this? Is this revenge on Muzi? Could it be that after Muzi rejected Campus Belle Mi, she hired someone to get back at him?"
"No." Jiang Muye said with absolute certainty. "She's not that kind of person."
Even though Mi Lu was carefree and dared to love and hate, she would absolutely not do something so deranged and crazy.
Besides, given Mi Lu's personality, if she really wanted revenge, she'd do it openly. Having someone beat him up would be far more convincing than this creepy intimidation.
"Then who? Muzi, do you have any enemies? They're coming for your life now!" Old He was frantic.
Kai thought for a moment, then asked, "Could it be your aunt's enemies coming to take revenge on you? After all, you're a hundred-billion heir now—there's bound to be people eyeing you with envy."
Jiang Muye pursed his thin lips and shook his head. "Not sure. Let's just call the police."
He didn't have even a trace of a lead right now. This was also the first time he'd encountered something like this, and he had no way of knowing how to investigate it.
Right now, the police were all Jiang Muye could rely on.
At once, Jiang Muye chose to call the police.
The police arrived quickly and had already taken Jiang Muye to the station to make a statement.
【Congratulations, Host, on checking in at the police station. Congratulations, you've obtained 500,000 RMB.】
The System's reminder jolted the fruitless Jiang Muye awake.
He was someone with the System—he could absolutely rely on the System to find the culprit.
Jiang Muye asked the System: In this situation, is there any way I can find out who the culprit is?
The System refused: 【Sorry, I'm not a detective system. I can only enhance your counter-reconnaissance abilities.】
Jiang Muye gritted his back teeth. But this person is too cunning—didn't leave a single clue, even the fingerprints were wiped clean, and there's no surveillance at the scene. There's no way to start.
The System reminded: 【Host, you can now open the System Warehouse. There's a Time Reversal function.】
Jiang Muye was puzzled. What's the Time Reversal function?
The System explained: 【The Time Reversal function allows you to review the events of the half hour before the crime scene—equivalent to your brain becoming a human recorder, directly monitoring all of the other party's actions.】
When Jiang Muye heard this, he thought it was incredible.
Wasn't this exactly what he needed most right now?
The System was indeed badass.
Jiang Muye immediately spent 1,000 Grit Points to exchange for the "Time Reversal" skill.
Just as he was about to use it, noise erupted from outside.
"Jiang Muye, are you okay!" An agitated, flustered voice rang out.
Jiang Muye's heart trembled. He looked back toward the sound and saw Xia Xiran, her face pale, running into the police station.
Upon seeing Jiang Muye, Xia Xiran threw herself into his arms without hesitation, giving Jiang Muye no time to react at all. He felt her ice-cold fingers clasp around his waist.
She still carried the chill of the wind on her body, trembling slightly in his arms, and let out a pained sob: "Are you okay? Sob, are you hurt anywhere?"
Jiang Muye's mood instantly turned sour and complicated.
Faced with Xia Xiran throwing herself into his embrace, Jiang Muye felt a bit unused to it. He propped his hands up, wanting to push Xia Xiran away.
"Thanks for your concern. I'm not hurt. You can let go of me now."
Xia Xiran had been secretly delighting in the warmth of Jiang Muye's body, but after being pushed away by him, her eyes widened slightly. Then she bit her red lips, a bitter refusal to accept what was happening welling up: "I ran over the moment I heard something happened to you. I was so, so scared. Why won't you comfort me even a little, and instead cruelly push me away?"
