Chapter 302 Come with me
The door to dormitory 404 was wide open.
The air seemed to freeze instantly.
Wang Fugui stood frozen at the doorway, his expression shifting dramatically from impatience to astonishment, and then to a hint of fear.
He could feel that the middle-aged man in the black trench coat at the door was like a mountain, pressing down on him so much that he could hardly breathe.
It has nothing to do with strength or weakness.
It was a pure, life-level pressure.
A strong person!
"Excuse me...who are you looking for?"
Wang Fugui's voice trembled slightly.
He subconsciously glanced back at the dormitory and saw the figure still lying lazily on the bed.
The middle-aged man's gaze was as sharp as a knife, bypassing Wang Fugui and locking onto Chen Yifan.
"I'm looking for him."
His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority.
"Chen Yifan, my name is 'Judge'."
"Come with me."
Judge?
The name flashed through Wang Fugui's mind. He had never heard of it before, but it sounded intimidating.
His heart skipped a beat.
What important person has Fanzi offended?
He was about to say something, such as "Is there some misunderstanding?", but the middle-aged man's gaze stopped him in his tracks.
In the dormitory, Chen Yifan slowly sat up from the bed.
His expression was calm; he even yawned, as if the person standing at the door wasn't some evil spirit, but rather the dormitory supervisor checking the rooms.
"Judge?"
He muttered the name, then got out of bed, slipped on his slippers, and slowly walked to the door.
"Did you need something?"
He looked at the middle-aged man and asked in a calm tone.
The judge's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.
He had seen countless people tremble with fear in front of him, and he had also seen many who tried to appear calm.
But this was the first time he had ever seen someone as completely calm as Chen Yifan, even with a hint of laziness.
This is not normal.
Either this young man truly has a clear conscience and is extremely honest and upright.
Either he's hidden it too well, or his mental fortitude is unbelievably strong.
"We need your cooperation in the investigation of the Black Forest Manor case."
The judge's voice remained cold and devoid of any emotion.
"Black Forest Manor?"
Chen Yifan seemed to have heard something funny.
"Wasn't that place bombed? It was on the news. What does such a big commotion have to do with a freshman like me who's only been here a few days ago?"
He spoke with great confidence and conviction.
Wang Fugui listened from the side and nodded repeatedly.
Yes, Fanzi is right!
How could something so serious be related to a student?
Whether it matters or not is not up to you to decide.
The man behind the judge, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, suddenly spoke, his tone carrying a hint of reprimand.
"Student Chen, this is a leader from a special national department. Please cooperate with our work!"
Chen Yifan recognized the man; he seemed to be a director in the Academic Affairs Office.
It seems that the person holding the torch had gone directly through the highest levels of the school this time, making quite a grand entrance.
Are you not hiding anything at all?
Open hand?
"I can cooperate with the investigation," Chen Yifan nodded. "However, you need a reason, right? Just because I have a grudge against Li Yuantu?"
He made his point clear from the start.
This matter cannot be kept secret at all. A little investigation will reveal the grudges between him and the Li family.
Instead of waiting for the other person to ask, it's better to take the initiative and say it yourself.
The judge narrowed his eyes.
This young man was more perceptive than he had imagined.
"We received intelligence that you left the school on the night of the manor bombing."
The judge stared intently into Chen Yifan's eyes, trying to detect even the slightest hint of panic in them.
"Yes, I went out."
Chen Yifan readily admitted,
"I went to see Li Yuantu. He's my nemesis. I figured that instead of waiting for him to come after me, I should take the initiative to go to him and settle things once and for all."
"And the result?"
The judge pressed for an answer.
"result?"
Chen Yifan shrugged, looking helpless.
"I didn't know anyone in this area, how was I supposed to know where he lived? I waited like an idiot downstairs at his company all night, but I didn't even see a glimpse of him. The next morning, I saw on the news that his house had been raided. I guess he was unlucky, and I was lucky."
These words are half true and half false.
He did go out, and he did go to find Li Yuantu.
As for what happens next, let the other party imagine it.
Besides, he is not the same person he used to be.
A hot-blooded and impulsive young man, having made a deadly enemy, wanted to settle scores, but ended up empty-handed.
This is so normal.
Wang Fugui listened in stunned silence.
So that's what Fanzi went out to do last night? He actually guessed right!
"We will verify what you've said." The judge's expression remained unchanged. "Now, come with us."
His tone remained an unquestionable command.
Chen Yifan knew in his heart that he couldn't avoid this trip today.
Since the other party specifically came to us by name, we won't let it go just because of a few words from him.
"Okay." He nodded, then turned to Wang Fugui and said, "Fatty, I'm going out for a bit, I'll be back later."
"Fanzi!"
Wang Fugui grew anxious. He grabbed Chen Yifan's arm and lowered his voice.
"You...you really want to go with them? These people don't seem like good people! Or should I call Xia Nan? Or find Chairman Xiao Zhan?"
"If that doesn't work, let's call the police."
In his view, Chen Yifan's departure was likely to end in disaster.
"No need." Chen Yifan patted his hand, reassuring him, "A clear conscience fears no accusation. I haven't done anything wrong, how could they frame me?"
After saying that, he turned around and gestured "please" to the judge.
"Let's go, boss. Where to?"
The judge gave him a deep look, then turned and walked away.
"You'll find out when you go."
Chen Yifan followed.
The director of the academic affairs office quickly followed behind and even helped them close the dormitory door.
In the dormitory, only Wang Fugui remained, standing there blankly.
He stared at the empty doorway, his heart pounding with anxiety.
No!
We can't just sit here and wait!
He slapped his thigh suddenly, pulled out his communicator, and frantically started searching for numbers.
Xia Nan! Yes, find Xia Nan!
And that scavenger president!
And there's also student council president Xiao Zhan!
The badge that Fanzi gave me is still there!
We must tell them about this.
If anything happens to Fanzi, he will never forgive himself for the rest of his life!
……
Chen Yifan followed the judge through the dormitory building's corridor.
Along the way, all the students who saw them instinctively stopped and kept their distance.
The judge's icy aura, making him seem unapproachable, was simply too powerful.
"You don't seem nervous at all?"
The judge walking in front suddenly asked a question out of the blue.
"Why should I be nervous?" Chen Yifan retorted. "I haven't done anything wrong."
"Is that so?" A cryptic smile played on the judge's lips. "I hope you'll still say that later."
They did not go to the academic affairs office or the principal's office.
Instead, they arrived at a secluded laboratory building that looked like it had been abandoned for a long time.
At the entrance of the laboratory building stood two men, both dressed in black trench coats, whose auras were identical to those of the judge.
Upon seeing the judge approach, the two immediately stood at attention and gave a standard military salute.
"Is everything cleared out?" the judge asked.
"Sir, it's cleared! The energy shield around the entire building has been activated, ensuring that not even a fly can get in or out," one of them replied.
The judge nodded, then turned to look at Chen Yifan.
"Please, Chen."
Chen Yifan remained calm and strode into the laboratory building.
He knew that the real test was about to begin.
This building has probably been ensnared in a trap, waiting for him to walk right into it.
However, he didn't care.
He had already activated the [Return to Shadow] ability when the judge appeared.
And he hid his shadow clone in the dormitory.
As long as one shadow clone exists, he will not perish.
He has gained an absolute advantage.
Since they can't die.
What's so scary about it?
Moreover, he was also eager to see what kind of methods this so-called "lamp bearer" possessed.
