As Lin Huang finished his coffee at the rooftop balcony of the cafe, Qin Wei had not even touched hers at all. After she was done with her 20 over questions, she turned off her notepad and started drinking her now cold coffee. She then slowly put her cup down.
"Thank you for giving me all the answers. Without you, Iâd have had no idea how Iâm supposed to write the report." Qin Wei let out an awkward smile.
"How long have you been partnering with him?" Lin Huang asked.
"Not long, only nine months..." Qin Wei shook her head.
"However, heâs my fiancĂ©..." Qin Wei added after keeping silent for a while.
Now it was Lin Huang who didnât know what to say. Heâd heard from Yang Ling that Wu Hao had a fiancĂ©e but he hadnât known the fiancĂ©e was Qin Wei who was also his partner.
"Heâs gone now, my condolences." Lin Huang tried to console her.
"Itâs alright, Iâm not exactly sad. It was an arranged marriage by our family. Before partnering with him Iâd never seen him before. Both of us were unhappy with the marriage."
"I know he had a girlfriend that heâd known for more than 10 years, she came from an ordinary family background. His father killed the girlfriend in front of him and chopped her into pieces while forcing Wu Hao to watch while he fed the pieces to the pigs. The father told him that if he doesnât accept the arrangement, even if he killed himself, all of the girlâs family members would have faced the same consequence."
"Since then heâd lost himself, he would go out with different women every day. He had been like that for the past two years. He was frustrated. It was his familyâs idea for us to partner up, hoping that I might be able to control him. However, he was still the same doing whatever he wanted to do. I hadnât expected such things to happen... Although, death was probably a release to him."
While Qin Wei didnât have strong feelings for Wu Hao, he was her fiancĂ© after all. Now that he was dead, not only did she have to report to Adventure Paradise, she also had to speak to Wu Haoâs family.
"Thatâs why you suspected him when he tried to tell you that he was not the Brain Eater yesterday?" Lin Huang asked.
"Yes, because I knew he always wanted to die. However, I was still not sure that time as it was an instinct for humans to ask to live in a crisis. When I saw his reaction as you splashed the water on him, I knew you were telling the truth." Qin Wei explained.
"So are you writing two copies of the report for the Adventurer Organization and the Wu family?" Lin Huang finally understood why sheâd asked for two answers earlier.
"The Adventurer Organization doesnât have to know the truth as it would bring shame to the Wu family. However, the Wu family must know the truth. I should thank you for giving me two answers to some of my questions." Qin Wei smiled and nodded.
After chatting for a while, they bid farewell to the café owner and left the cafe.
"When do you plan to leave Luoxi City?" Qin Wei asked as she stepped out of the cafe.
"In the next two to three days, how about you?" Lin Huang asked.
"Iâll leave in the afternoon since Iâm done with my task, thereâs no reason for me to stay." Qin Wei said.
"If you donât mind, please send me your contact details." She added.
"Sure." Lin Huang gave her Ye Xiuâs number.
After adding each other as friends, they went back to the hotel together. When Lin Huang arrived in his room, his Viridian Wolf that was laying on the floor stood up and rubbed its head against him. Lin Huang patted its head and noticed the Leech Pods still growing inside. Thinking about the Leech Pods, Lin Huang summoned Demonic Dandelion Vine. Bloody was like a red baby snake that was less than two meters long and was as thick as a thumb.
"Letâs see how smart you are; Iâll get you to learn a human language these next few days." Lin Huang then downloaded the Union Governmentâs learning materials on words from the network. He placed his Emperorâs Heart Ring on the coffee table and projected the materials, allowing Bloody to read them for itself. Just like a baby snake, Bloody lifted its upper body to read all the documents that Lin Huang downloaded while Lin Huang was using Ye Xiuâs Emperorâs Heart Ring to read the news on the couch.
When it was almost 11:30 a.m., Lin Huang told Bloody and Viridian Wolf to behave themselves before heading out. Instead of lunch, he went to the Credit Bureau to transfer the 1,500 Life Crystals to Yang Ling.
Lin Huang sent Yang Ling a message. "Iâve transferred you 50% of the reward make sure you check later." He then found a nearby food store and had lunch before heading back. What he didnât know was, while he was out, Qin Wei who stayed next to his room was ringing at his doorbell.
Bloody made its way to the door and peeped at Qin Wei stood outside. It had seen her last night so she wasnât a stranger to it. It hesitated for a second but decided to open the door for her.
Qin Wei found it odd that it was Bloody that opened the door. "Ye Xiu?" She shouted at the door but there wasnât any response.
Just when she wanted to leave, she saw Bloody was using the tea in the cup to write something on the floor.
"Master is out for lunch."
"A summoning monster that could write?" Qin Wei was shocked. She then realized that this vine monster must have taken the Brain Eaterâs Supreme Intelligence earlier.
"Sure, I know that now. Thank you." Qin Wei patted Bloodyâs head.
"I thought he would be here so I wanted to say goodbye. Since heâs out, let him know that Iâm grateful for his help for the past two days and I hope he had a good time in Luoxi City."
Bloody nodded,
"Thank you for opening the door for me, bye!"
"Youâre welcome, goodbye." Bloody written on the floor again.
Qin Wei smiled and left. When Lin Huang returned to the hotel after lunch, Qin Wei had already left a long time before. Just when he arrived in his room, Bloody tangled his arm and pulled him to the couch.
"Whatâs wrong?" Lin Huang thought it was absurd.
Bloody used the water in the cup and started writing on the transparent coffee table.
"The girl next door came earlier; she was here to say goodbye to master. She asked me to tell you that she is grateful for your help the past few days and she hopes youâve had a great time in Luoxi City."
Lin Huang was shocked when he saw.
"Damn, youâve learned how to write so fast?! You must be a genius now."
