Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 701: Chapter 701: Encountering Splendid Auspiciousness (35)

Night Color was enchanting.

Gazing into the distance, one could faintly see the city’s neon lights, dazzling and spectacular.

This corner of the world was silent and dark.

In the darkness stood a figure, something in his hand reflecting light, a chilling glow cutting through the dark.

It was a man.

Behind the man was a bed, and on the bed lay a dark shadow.

That dark shadow suddenly moved.

”Mmmph...”

The shadow on the bed rolled off and onto the floor.

At the same time, the room’s lights turned on, and the person on the floor looked up to see chains on the wall, with the wall’s damaged and cracked surface stained with grime.

The whole room emanated a sinister and terrifying air.

Footsteps started from the side, each step sounding like they were treading on his heart, drawing closer.

”Awake,” the man’s pleasant voice came from above.

He lifted his head to see the man dressed in black, wearing a mask, with the knife in his hand refracting a cold light into his eyes.

This person was none other than Dou Hai, who had followed Yan Yu previously.

Dou Hai wanted to capture Yan Yu, but didn’t expect Yan Yu to turn the tables on him.

From this man, Dou Hai felt an aura similar to his own.

They were of the same kind.

No...

The darkness within him was even more profound.

Dou Hai was grabbed by Yan Yu and hoisted up, then chained to the wall with limbs spread out in the shape of a ”大”.

Clang—

Dou Hai struggled, emitting a low growl from his throat, but there was no fear or panic in his eyes, only a strange excitement.

Yan Yu removed the tape from Dou Hai’s mouth.

Dou Hai gasped for air, his gaze tightly fixed on him, ”We’re the same kind of person.”

Yan Yu denied, ”Not the same.”

”Ha, you get excited by killing, just as I do. Admit it, we’re the same,” Dou Hai pulled out a sinister smile. ”Have you killed someone?”

Yan Yu remained silent.

Dou Hai’s voice became shrill, ”Do you know the feeling of killing? Watching them struggle in pain, fearful and terrified... What a wonderful feeling that is. I can sense it, you and I are the same kind of person...”

The same kind of person...

Yan Yu’s gaze slightly lowered, falling on the Scalpel.

”Let me go, and we could definitely become great partners...”

Dou Hai’s voice seemed to bewitch him.

Awakening the evil thoughts that slumbered within his body.

”Not going to happen,” Yan Yu firmly rejected him. His dark pupils stared at Dou Hai, and he said slowly and deliberately, ”We are not the same.”

-

Bang!

The door was kicked open.

Yan Yu stood in front of the window, hearing the noise, he slowly turned around.

In that instant, all the darkness and repression that filled Yan Yu broke apart, and he suddenly felt at a loss.

Chuzheng entered from outside the door. She glanced at Dou Hai hanging on the wall, covered in blood, lifeless or not, and quickly stepped into the room to hold Yan Yu in her embrace.

Yan Yu’s hanging hands stiffened for a few seconds, then slowly he wrapped his arms around her waist.

Was she angry?

Having seen all this, would she think he was a freak?

Would she leave him...

Yan Yu’s mind was filled with these messy thoughts.

”Who let you run around?” And to such a far place!

”I...”

Yan Yu didn’t know how to explain.

Chuzheng raised her hand to touch his head, ”Is he dead?” If he’s dead, there’s a body to dispose of. Can’t you just let me worry less!

”No... no, I’ve been good, I didn’t kill him,” Yan Yu said, sounding like a wronged child. ”Don’t be mad at me.”

He had controlled himself.

He had been very good.

Chuzheng warned him, ”No next time.” If you run off again, I’ll break your legs!

Yan Yu nodded, ”Mhm.”

He clutched tightly at Chuzheng’s clothes.

At this moment, Yan Yu seemed nothing like the ominous figure he was portrayed as, but more like a child at a loss, with Chuzheng being the only person he trusted and depended on.

Chuzheng soothed him for a while before Yan Yu finally let go of her.

Dou Hai had some injuries, but none of them were fatal.

The wounds were very characteristic, recognizable at a glance as to who caused them.

These injuries couldn’t be seen by others.

”Did he hurt you?”

Yan Yu, like a child caught by a teacher, stood there and obediently shook his head.

”First, call Shen Siming so he doesn’t look for you everywhere,” Chuzheng instructed him. She turned to message Assistant Xu.

Assistant Xu arrived quickly with people.

Seeing Dou Hai hanging on the wall, Assistant Xu broke into a cold sweat, ”President Jin...”

What is this all about?

Was he expected to dispose of a body? One week ago, he was just an assistant!

Why was he now facing these things?

”He has some injuries. Find a way to cover them up; don’t let anyone realize what caused them.”

Assistant Xu breathed a sigh of relief; the man wasn’t dead yet.

However...

”...How am I supposed to do that?” How could he cover them up? He had never done such a thing!

Chuzheng gave him a sidelong glance: ”Figure it out yourself.”

Assistant Xu: ”...”

Assistant Xu seriously took out his phone and began to search online.

”President Jin, is this really okay...” Assistant Xu tried to salvage the situation.

Chuzheng’s face remained cold: ”You pity even the serial killer of the mass murder case?”

Serial killer? Mass murder case?

Assistant Xu looked more closely, and it did indeed look familiar.

Isn’t that Dou Hai?

Chuzheng had someone take Yan Yu out to wait.

As Dou Hai was roused back to consciousness, Chuzheng sat on the table with a chair under her foot.

Upon opening his eyes, Dou Hai saw just such a scene.

”Dou Hai.” Chuzheng leaned on the edge of the table, looking at him: ”Did you kill those people?”

Dou Hai’s gaze swept around the room.

There were only a few bodyguards in the room, no sign of Yan Yu.

He recognized this girl; she was the one with Yan Yu before...

Ignoring Chuzheng, his expression was very arrogant.

Chuzheng asked, ”Is Zhou Wen important to you?”

The name Zhou Wen successfully garnered Dou Hai’s attention.

But it only caused Dou Hai to shift his gaze, his facial expression hardly changed: ”I don’t know any Zhou Wen.”

”Oh,” Chuzheng paused, ”If you don’t answer my questions obediently, I can’t guarantee that Zhou Wen will remain unharmed.”

Dou Hai’s pupils narrowed slightly.

”Don’t worry, I’m not exactly a saint myself.”

A chill washed over Dou Hai’s heart for no apparent reason.

The calmness in her voice gave Dou Hai a feeling that somehow, the girl opposite him was even more dangerous than Yan Yu.

That danger instinctively frightened him.

Suppressing the eerie feeling in the pit of his stomach, Dou Hai snorted coldly: ”How do I know you’re not bluffing me?”

Chuzheng stretched out her hand backward, and a bodyguard handed her a tablet.

The screen of the tablet showed the front door of Zhou Wen’s house.

Someone was standing at the doorway, looking in the direction of the camera as if waiting for a command.

Dou Hai’s breathing became visibly erratic.

Nerves caused him to tense up.

That place...

It was almost unchanged from his memory.

As the person on the screen seemed to receive a command, walking towards the door, preparing to knock...

Dou Hai remained silent, but his brow throbbed violently.

When that person raised their hand, Dou Hai couldn’t restrain himself: ”Zhou Wen has nothing to do with this, don’t involve him.”

This girl is more dangerous than Yan Yu.

”Did you kill those people?”

”...Yes, it was me!” Dou Hai’s gaze was fixed on the tablet in Chuzheng’s hand.
