Based on past experience, the odds of nothing going wrong when he deliberately headed somewhere late at night were practically zero.

So when Fu Qian arrived at the school, he moved with extreme caution.

Night had fully fallen. The campus was already deserted at this hour, illuminated by only a handful of street lamps.

To avoid drawing attention, Fu Qian had parked his car a short distance away and slipped onto the grounds on foot, waiting quietly for his task’s appointed time.

He had chosen a brilliant hiding spot. Not only was it well-concealed, but it also offered a superb vantage point—every main path into the school lay directly under his watchful eyes.

Not long after settling into position, he noticed a figure slipping silently out of the darkness.

The newcomer seemed to be deliberately avoiding the lights, darting through the interconnected patches of shadow.

He was clearly familiar with the school’s layout, navigating the grounds with almost zero hesitation.

It wasn’t until the figure passed close by that Fu Qian could barely make out his appearance.

He was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, short and slightly hunched. A sparse ring of hair was all that remained on his balding head.Fu Qian was absolutely certain he didn’t recognize the man.

That wasn’t surprising, though. Up to this point, he could only recognize a grand total of five people at this school anyway.

Probably a teacher or staff member.

Watching the man’s back recede, Fu Qian silently made his judgment.

His behavior was distinctly suspicious, and it was barely fifteen minutes to ten. Could his task have something to do with this guy?

Fu Qian watched Teacher Mediterranean slip into a corner of the teaching building, but he didn’t rush to follow.

It was best to wait until ten o’clock to avoid any unnecessary complications.

Yet, not long after Fu Qian resumed his stakeout, another figure emerged from the darkness.

This time, it was a familiar face.

Despite the newcomer’s best efforts to conceal his tall, agile silhouette, Fu Qian instantly recognized the familiar gait. It was Daniel, the guy who had clashed with him earlier that day.

Daniel seemed to have fully recovered his vigor. His eyes gleamed as he surveyed the campus, looking every bit like a wild beast preparing to hunt.

Things were certainly getting lively tonight.

After a brief scan of the area, Fu Qian watched him set off, heading in the exact same direction as Teacher Mediterranean.

Surely those two hadn’t arranged a rendezvous here?

Endowed with a vivid imagination, Fu Qian immediately pictured a few rather bizarre scenarios.

Fortunately, he prudently nipped those thoughts in the bud.

He turned back toward the school gate, praying fervently for a third person to show up so he wouldn’t be subjected to an eyesore.

As if hearing his silent plea, someone else soon appeared.

Once again, it was an acquaintance.

From that graceful, swaying walk, Fu Qian easily identified her as Succubus Teacher Medea.

So she was the one meeting Daniel?

But the instant he recognized her, Fu Qian deduced a much more plausible scenario.

Daniel was clearly here waiting for her.

Were young people these days really this desperate? Classes were over, they had gone home, and they still sneaked back here for this?

While entirely baffled by this particular kink, Fu Qian suddenly remembered Brother Mediterranean, who had gone in first.

If Medea and Daniel were here for a secret tryst, then what was that guy doing here?

He was here to do... exactly what Daniel had falsely accused Fu Qian of trying to do earlier that day!

A flash of insight struck Fu Qian, bringing the most likely possibility to light.

Somehow, this teacher had caught wind of tonight’s rendezvous. He had arrived early to lie in ambush, waiting by the stump for a hare so he could catch this illicit teacher-student romance red-handed.

As for what he would demand once he caught his hare, well, that was anyone’s guess.

What a high school drama!

Marveling at the spectacle, Fu Qian glanced down to check the time.

A silver watch sat securely around his wrist.

Considering the demands of his task, he had ruthlessly requisitioned it the moment he spotted it in Terica’s car.

It was almost ten o’clock.

Fu Qian had absolutely no interest in the imminent collision of love and hate.

He had even planned out his escape route in advance, intending to slip away from the school the second his task was finished to avoid getting dragged into the mess.

[Task Completed]

Right on time, the prompt materialized in his mind.

[Current task updated. Ensure Medea survives.]

However, just as Fu Qian prepared to slip away, the follow-up objective firmly pinned him in place.

Wasn’t this a little too targeted?!

Although he’d had a sneaking suspicion, Fu Qian still couldn’t help but sigh in genuine exasperation when the latest task appeared.

Looking up toward the direction the three had disappeared into the darkness, Fu Qian didn’t hesitate. He silently slipped over.

The task required him to ensure Medea survived. It seemed tonight’s events were far more complicated than a simple steamy rendezvous.

...

By the time Fu Qian arrived, he could already hear heavy panting echoing from the darkness.

The lovers’ chosen trysting spot turned out to be a classroom at the very end of the Corridor.

One of the classroom’s windows had been pushed open a crack, left slightly ajar.

Fu Qian didn’t act immediately. After he waited silently outside the door for a moment, the heavy panting inside suddenly grew fierce, bordering on a beast-like roar.

At almost the exact same instant, a blinding flash of light pierced the darkness.

The strobe illuminated half the classroom, revealing two tangled figures in the corner.

Medea, who had been the last to arrive, was pinned underneath.

However, it was far from the steamy scene he’d imagined. Instead, Daniel’s towering figure was behind her, yanking a rope tight and viciously strangling his own teacher.

The sudden camera flash had clearly startled the boy.

Daniel froze in place, staring in shock at the corner where the light had originated.

Clatter!

It sounded like a camera hitting the floor.

By the faint starlight, Fu Qian could see a figure standing dumbfounded in the corner. It was none other than Brother Mediterranean.

He had stood up the instant he took the photo, striking a triumphant pose, only to be completely horrified a split second later by the scene he’d actually captured.

”You...”

Daniel snarled through gritted teeth in the darkness.

The next moment, he released the rope, stood up, and advanced on the terrified teacher.

Losing the support of the rope, Medea collapsed to the floor. Surviving after a catastrophe, she immediately fell into a fit of violent coughing while struggling to crawl back to her feet.

But the strangulation had clearly taken a heavy toll. Despite several attempts, her body remained as limp as a noodle, refusing to obey her commands.

”Teacher Joseph.”

Daniel had already closed the distance to the balding teacher, his voice eerily cold.

”Daniel...”

The teacher’s voice was noticeably dry as he stammered out a response.

”You two... a student and a teacher... having a secret tryst here...”

”Yeah, so?”

Daniel stepped even closer, a menacing amusement bleeding into his voice.
