Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Li Gang was on his butt with a pained look. His teeth were chattering, and his stick legs were shivering involuntarily. He was in obvious pain.

A thorn in anyone’s hand would be enough to hurt anyone. The two needles were two inches long and were plunged deep into his thighs!

Ling Yun’s cold eyes fixated on Li Gang. There was no trace of pity in his eyes. “Think back to that night. Were there any suspicious people or things?”

Li Gang was different from Luo Erfeng. Luo Erfeng was just someone who had information, while Li Gang was a conspirator. It could be argued that Li Gang pushed Ling Yun into the Steyr.

Ling Yun knew that his personal information was being held by Li Gang before Wang Lei executed the deed.

Li Gang didn’t disappoint Ling Yun. He didn’t even need to take any time to think. “Yes! Yes!” he cried.

“Tell me about it!” Ling Yun’s ears perked up.

Only then did Li Gang lift his head slightly in an attempt to remember. “There were two suspicious people and one curious matter. That night...”

Li Gang received Wang Lei’s money the day before they hit Ling Yun. He laid in wait for Ling Yun in the internet cafe, following the information given by those who wanted Ling Yun dead.

Business was booming for the internet cafe then. Ling Yun was working part-time in the internet cafe. He was both a network administrator and a cashier. He was simply too busy. He could use the fingers on one hand to count the number of times he returned to school.

Ling Yun was perpetually in the bottom three of Qingshui High. No one would waste any time caring about this trash except for the class representative, Cao Shanshan.

Cao Shanshan had the status of number one in Qingshui High. Even Xue Meining lost to her.

The rest of the class were ants compared to Cao Shanshan. Given her status, there was very little chance that their paths would cross again once they graduated.

Therefore, Cao Shanshan treated every one of her classmates the same, including Ling Yun.

Cao Shanshan didn’t care that Ling Yun’s results were poor, but he skipped class often. That made the super school beauty angry!

Cao Shanshan asked Zhang Ling for help obtaining Ling Yun’s QQ 1 username. She used the app to make contact with Ling Yun directly, ordering him to get back to class or else.

Ling Yun had a crush on Cao Shanshan at that point in time. He immediately took leave from the internet cafe and went back to school for a few days. He didn’t want the goddess in his heart to be angry at him.

Ling Yun was in school during the day, but he spent most of his nights working at the internet cafe. That was why he would be sleeping most of the time in class.

That was his routine until March 27th. He went to the internet cafe as usual for his part-time job. He didn’t know that there were three pairs of eyes on him then.

Of the three, Li Gang was the most unimportant one.

One of them was sent by Ling Hao from the Ling Family. The photos Ling Hao had of Ling Yun were taken then.

The other one was sent by Chen Sen from the Chen Family. Chen Sen wanted to know that the deed was carried out thoroughly.

All of them were gathered in the internet cafe that night, but none of them knew each other, and everyone had their own purpose. Fate was intriguing.

Yet the prey of that moment, Ling Yun, was not aware.

In fact, Ling Yun was supposed to die on March 26th. He lived one more day just because he spent a night in the internet cafe.

Ling Yun didn’t plan to leave the internet cafe on 27th night either. He only left because he suddenly remembered something.

Ling Yun had promised to return home for the weekend with his little sister, Ning Lingyu.

Qin Qiuyue and Ning Lingyu were the most important kin that Ling Yun had. He had never been sloppy when it came to them.

He didn’t want to return home looking tired, so he decided to return back to his dormitory to sleep.

Ling Yun left the internet cafe at midnight. Li Gang and the person sent by Chen Sen paid and followed Ling Yun out.

Li Gang was fixated on Ling Yun. At that point in time, he thought it was normal for a person to pay and leave. He only felt that something was not right after Wang Lei died.

“There was a man whose actions almost mirrored mine. Our positions weren’t far from each other. Only a few seats had no blind angle...”

Li Gang was more convinced of his own suspicions as he continued. “Yes, it’s definitely right. That guy was probably in the internet cafe for a longer period than me. He was already there when Ling Yun was there. He also followed when Ling Yun left...”

Ling Yun was still a hundred-kilogram fatass two months ago. However, he had now slimmed down to less than eighty kilograms. His appearance changed so much that Li Gang didn’t recognize him.

Ling Yun didn’t bother telling him either. He frowned and tried to retrieve the memory of that day. Unfortunately, everything was a blur, and he couldn’t remember a thing.

It was no wonder. He couldn’t recall the internet cafe nor the boss either.

Nonetheless, this new lead was definitely good news!

“What about the other guy?” Ling Yun continued to push for information.

Li Gang wiped away the perspiration on his forehead. “The other person didn’t seem as suspicious. I only mentioned him because he always seemed to be in that internet cafe, but he didn’t play any games. He just sat there with an open web page and watched Ling Yun from time to time.

The other guy that Li Gang mentioned was sent by Ling Hao.

Ling Yun’s expression changed before Li Gang finished his sentence. There was no doubt that this man was more suspicious! This kind of person was usually the one who presided over the situation!

“What did the two look like? Did they have any features that popped out at you?” Ling Yun asked in a low voice.

“The former was well-built with cropped hair. It was still a little cold then, but he wore a green suit...”

“The latter was of average height, his clothes were normal, and he had a common face... Oh, but that guy was a heavy smoker! He smoked almost constantly and held the cigarettes with his left hand. His fingers were yellowed from it!” Li Gang spilled the beans honestly.

Long-term stalking was very boring. The guy from Ling Hao had his eyes on Ling Yun for more than a week. He sat in the internet cafe all day. It would be crazy for him not to smoke.

“Very good!” A small smile curled up on Ling Yun’s face. “What was the curious matter?”

Li Gang just gave Ling Yun very valuable information, so Ling Yun anticipated his other information.

Li Gang didn’t disappoint. He wanted to tell Ling Yun everything he knew so that he could save his own life. “Wang Lei contacted me several times before he hit Ling Yun. He repeatedly mentioned a black Audi Q7 in his calls.”

A driver was definitely more sensitive towards cars, especially luxury cars. An Audi Q7 was worth a million yuan. It was parked two hundred meters away from Wang Lei. That was something Wang Lei would certainly notice.

“Oh?” Ling Yun reacted with interest.

“Did he tell you the license plate number?” Ling Yun asked immediately.

Ling Yun would be able to find who the mastermind was as long as he could follow the vines!

It was just a matter of time!

Li Gang shook his head. “He didn’t say...” Ling Yun’s heart fell, but Li Gang continued, “But I’ve seen that car before...”

Li Gang went to that intersection and witnessed the whole attempted murder. He naturally saw the Audi Q7 as well. It was times like that where people would be able to remember events exceptionally clear.

“F*ck!” Ling Yun stuck another needle into Li Gang’s thigh. Li Gang screamed in pain again.

“How dare you play with me!”

“Do you remember the license plate number?” Ling Yun jumped up from the sofa.

“Yes... it seemed to be Beijing A...”

“Seemed?” Ling Yun bellowed

“Wang Lei left immediately after he hit the person. That Audi Q7 was there for less than two minutes. I saw it heading for me before disappearing around a corner. Wang Lei mentioned this car repeatedly, so I looked carefully at the license plate. It was definitely Beijing A...” Li Gang replied.

“Very good! Have you mentioned this to anyone else?” Ling Yun asked in a cool manner.

“How would I dare to...” Li Gang defended himself.

Ling Yun got what he wanted. “Tang Meng, Tie Xiaohu, come in!” Ling Yun shouted toward the door.

Ling Yun then walked forward and slapped his jaw. It dislodged.

“You must be tired from talking. Rest for a while...”

Strike while the iron was hot. Ling Yun had to head to the internet cafe right away!
