Qin Siyang widened his eyes in disbelief as he looked at Li Tianming.
Li Tianming felt uneasy under his gaze, "What do you want? Don't tell me one of those married women is your relative?"
Qin Siyang ignored Li Tianming and continued pondering the possibility of this matter.
'Wen Shu, a killer?'
Li Jingwen had already been forced into a dead end by him. She had no way out and might have chosen to target Wen Shu to threaten him.
Qin Siyang recalled the last time in the abandoned courtyard when he killed Li Jingwen's uncle, Kun Chenglong, and his gang of hoodlums. Wen Shu had displayed an abnormal level of calmness and proficiency in cleaning up the scene and eliminating the scent.
No matter how he looked at it, she wasn't simple.
But he hadn't considered that Wen Shu could be this not simple.
A seemingly ordinary girl had actually managed to kill Li Jingwen's entire family.
That was a bit ridiculous.
How did she do it?
He had to confirm this with her.
If Li Jingwen's entire family wasn't killed by Wen Shu, then things would be even more complicated.
Qin Siyang stood up, moved away from his office chair, and prepared to ask her for clarification.
Li Tianming asked, "Where are you going?"
"Didn't Teacher Zhu take a leave of absence? She put me in charge of the library, so I'm going to tidy up."
"You're such a diligent person, huh."
.
.
.
Qin Siyang arrived at the library and saw Wen Shu still quietly solving problems alone.
Seeing him enter, she looked up and smiled faintly.
Qin Siyang walked up to her, pulled out a chair, and sat down, "I have something to ask you…"
"I did it," Wen Shu answered immediately, looking at Qin Siyang calmly.
[T/N: Marry her bro.]
Seeing how indifferent she was, as if nothing had happened, Qin Siyang was momentarily stunned.
'So composed after killing people?'
"Were you going to ask me why I'm so calm after killing?"
"Uh… yeah, kind of."
"She wanted to harm me, so I killed her. What's the problem?"
"Mm, I guess there's no problem."
"Her family kept causing me trouble one after another, so I killed them all. What's the problem?"
"…Also no problem."
"Then that's that. Why wouldn't I be calm?"
After chatting with Qin Siyang for a few minutes, Wen Shu continued solving her problems.
Qin Siyang was still a little curious. He didn't know how Wen Shu had done it.
Li Jingwen's family had at least six or seven people, yet she had killed them all. And judging by her appearance, she didn't seem to have suffered any injuries, which surprised Qin Siyang even more.
But just as he was about to ask, he remembered, Wen Shu had never pried into his secrets before.
So why should he ask so many questions?
Even though they had killed together and were supposedly close friends, according to Li Tianming, there were still boundaries to maintain.
Because Qin Siyang himself also had secrets that couldn't be revealed.
Qin Siyang wouldn't make a fool of himself.
He got up and started tidying up the somewhat messy books in the library.
Wen Shu glanced at Qin Siyang's back and smiled slightly.
Just as Qin Siyang was about to head to class, he suddenly heard crying.
He turned around and saw a round-faced little girl standing at the library entrance, sniffling and crying as she asked, "Excuse me… who is Brother Qin Siyang…? Sob…"
Qin Siyang walked over, squatted down, and met the little girl at eye level.
"I'm Qin Siyang. What's wrong?"
"I… I'm Ye Qianqian. My grandma is Zhu Li. She got beaten up at the hospital, and her money was stolen… She told me to take the bus here to find you…"
Qin Siyang's expression turned cold. He picked up Ye Qianqian with one arm, letting her sit on his shoulder, then turned to Wen Shu, "I have to go check on Teacher Zhu. Looks like I'll have to trouble you to lock up the library again."
"I'll go with you!"
"No need. I'm a Sequence Ability User. If even I can't handle Teacher Zhu's trouble, you won't be able to either. Besides, don't you still have to go home and take care of your grandma?"
With that, Qin Siyang carried Ye Qianqian and ran toward the small gate.
"Is Teacher Zhu okay now?"
"I don't know… Dad and Mom are at work, and I can't reach them. Grandma gave me money for the bus and told me to find Brother Qin Siyang."
"You go to school?"
"Not yet. I'm in a kindergarten nearby…"
Qin Siyang looked at Ye Qianqian, whose head was barely the size of his palm, and suddenly thought, 'I have probably been this small once, too.'
[T/N: Guys, I think this Qin Siyang's family background isn't simple.]
But that was such a distant and blurry memory now.
"Don't worry. Teacher Zhu will be fine. And once I'm there, I'll make sure to settle things for you."
It was already class time, and students weren't allowed to leave school freely.
As Qin Siyang reached the school gate, the security guard recognized him and didn't dare to stop him, pretending not to see anything.
When they reached the bus stop, Qin Siyang suddenly realized, he hadn't brought any copper coins.
But going back to get them would be a waste of time.
As the bus approached, he got on first and casually found a Sequence Ability User wearing a thermal suit, "Hey, friend, do you have cash? I forgot to bring money. Can you lend me ten copper coins? I'll transfer it to you electronically. Thanks."
That Sequence Ability User looked at Qin Siyang with slight annoyance, "If you don't have money, why are you taking the bus? You might as well—"
Before he could finish, Qin Siyang shot him a cold glare and casually squeezed the bus's metal handrail, denting it.
The man swallowed nervously, "You might as well just tell me directly. I'll just give it to you! Ten copper coins, no need for a transfer, it's too much hassle!"
With trembling hands, he took out his wallet and counted ten copper coins for Qin Siyang.
"Thanks."
Qin Siyang took the coins, paid the fare, and then went to sit in the back with Ye Qianqian.
Meanwhile, the Sequence Ability User was still trying to calm his racing heart.
'Damn… this kid's base strength is insane. And he looks like he's got a bad temper. Ten copper coins, fine, take them. Not worth getting beaten up over.'
Ye Qianqian whispered to Qin Siyang, "Brother Qin Siyang, I have money. Grandma gave me some copper coins. If you didn't have fare, you could've just asked me."
Qin Siyang froze, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"I saw you hop on the bus and immediately go talk to someone in the back, so I thought… maybe following you meant I didn't have to pay."
"…Fine."
The hospital was far away.
It was five more stops past Safe Zone No. 38324, taking over two hours by bus.
Ye Qianqian seemed exhausted and quickly fell asleep, leaning against Qin Siyang's arm.
Qin Siyang, meanwhile, watched the scenery blur past outside the window, thinking about how to handle the situation at the hospital.
In this area, anyone who could afford medical care was no ordinary person.
Even though the hospital was just a regular one, and none of the medical staff except the director were Sequence Ability Users, the patients inside… probably had connections to Sequence Users in one way or another.
Whoever caused trouble for Teacher Zhu likely had some background.
'If their background is too tricky, I'll let things go. Making sure Teacher Zhu gets treatment is the priority.'
'But if it's someone like Zhou Yang… then they can't blame me for being ruthless.'
