That student also appeared to have died by the culprit's hands.

 

Potassium chloride injection was difficult to come by.

 

Regular pharmacies only had potassium chloride slow-release tablets, and even at the hospital, potassium chloride injection was hard to find.

 

Unless through special channels.

 

The police immediately focused on this aspect.

 

However, no matter how they investigated departments and hospitals related to potassium chloride, there were no records.

 

The dangerous substance potassium chloride was not available in sufficient concentration even in the chemical laboratory of Hengming University.

 

So, where did the culprit get it?

 

Ruan Qing also found it strange.

 

It’s not easy to extract potassium chloride injection at a low concentration. The dilution tablets bought at the pharmacy and the ones in the chemistry lab combined should not be enough to extract a lethal concentration.

 

So, the source became highly suspicious.

 

Maybe finding this source could lead to the culprit.

 

The police also thought so, but they couldn’t find the source of potassium chloride injection despite searching for a long time.

 

Strict control was imposed on such special dangerous drugs, and every experiment with each drug should be meticulously recorded.

 

But they couldn’t find anything.

 

Obviously, the issue of the source of this drug was significant.

 

It might even be connected to other things.

 

After all, it’s terrifying that the culprit could easily obtain potassium chloride injection, and no one knew how much more they have.

 

The police once again elevated the importance of this case.

 

After investigating for so long, they only knew that the culprit was someone infatuated with Ning Mufeng.

 

The police decided to monitor Ning Mufeng, hoping to see if there were any suspicious individuals around him.

 

They also decided to keep an eye on Ruan Qing, mainly to protect him.

 

It’s already dark, and the police were preparing to drive Ruan Qing and Ning Mufeng back to school.

 

Ruan Qing looked at the police responsible for protecting him and felt a bit troubled.

 

If the police followed him, it would not only make it inconvenient for investigation but also for his visit to ‘Huayue’. After all, once he went, he would expose himself.

 

Ruan Qing lowered his head, contemplating a solution.

 

The car only drove up to the entrance of Hengming University.

 

As soon as Ruan Qing got out of the car, he saw Chu Yi leaning against the wall at the entrance.

 

Apparently, he was waiting for him.

 

Ruan Qing pursed his lips slightly and walked directly towards Chu Yi.

 

Behind, Ning Mufeng, who got off the car later, came to help Ruan Qing, who was not comfortable with his foot. However, as soon as he reached out, he saw Ruan Qing walking towards the man at the school gate. His outstretched hand froze in mid-air.

 

Chu Yi, seeing someone approaching, immediately stepped forward and hugged him, his voice a bit low. “Back?”

 

“Yeah.” Ruan Qing hugged back and buried his head in Chu Yi’s embrace.

 

Chu Yi looked at the pretty and obedient young man in his arms, and his throat moved up and down. He directly lifted the person horizontally.

 

Then, he slowly walked inside of Hengming University.

 

Ning Mufeng just looked at Chu Yi carrying Ruan Qing away, not knowing what he was thinking.

 

It was already late now, and it was almost time for him to go to ‘Huayue’ to start work.

 

Hugging Chu Yi’s neck, Ruan Qing, with beautiful eyes, showed a trace of hesitation and fear. “Professor, over at ‘Huayue’...”

 

Chu Yi calmly spoke, “It’s okay, everything has been taken care of, you don’t need to go.”

 

Ruan Qing’s eyes lit up like stars, and his tone carried a hint of excitement. “Really?”

 

“Yeah.” Chu Yi nodded, looking down at the person in his arms. “I’ve helped you so much. How are you going to thank me?”

 

Upon hearing this, Ruan Qing tightened the hand around Chu Yi’s neck slightly and gently kissed his delicate face.

 

After the kiss, a blush appeared on Ruan Qing’s face. He lowered his head, seemingly shy and hesitant to look at Chu Yi.

 

For this extremely perfunctory kiss, Chu Yi was quite dissatisfied. Seeing the person in his arms with a blush on his face, he instantly stopped.

 

Because it was already evening, all the streetlights of Hengming University were lit up, and the light reflected on the person in Chu Yi’s arms made the other look stunning.

 

Chu Yi, with deep eyes, looked at the person in his arms. Unconsciously, he tightened the hand holding Ruan Qing.

 

Ruan Qing shrank slightly, and Chu Yi came back to his senses, continuing to carry Ruan Qing towards his dormitory building.

 

Because he needed to take the key to open the door, Chu Yi released Ruan Qing.

 

However, just as he took out the key, his phone rang.

 

Chu Yi hesitated for a moment but ultimately answered the call.

 

Whatever was said on the other end made Chu Yi’s face instantly turn cold.

 

After hanging up the phone, he opened the door with a stern expression, then handed the key to Ruan Qing. “I have something to attend to. If someone unfamiliar knocks, just ignore them.”

 

Chu Yi gently stroked Ruan Qing’s scattered hair, then used his thumb to lightly rub Ruan Qing’s faintly red lips. “Wait for me, and I’ll personally take your thanks when I return.”

 

Ruan Qing obediently nodded.

 

He had actually heard what was said on the phone just now.

 

It seemed that the manager had targeted Chu Yi’s family business.

 

The situation seemed rather dangerous; if Chu Yi didn’t go, bankruptcy might be imminent.

 

Ruan Qing was quite pleased to hear this.

 

After Chu Yi left, Ruan Qing directly hacked into Chu Yi’s computer.

 

As the head of the physics department, Chu Yi naturally had more permissions than regular teachers.

 

He even had the authority to access the physics department’s surveillance.

 

Ruan Qing, posing as Chu Yi, obtained access to the surveillance.

 

He had already seen the scenes where the female student and Ning Mufeng interacted. Now, Ruan Qing began investigating those who hadn’t died and the scenes involving Ning Mufeng.

 

Eventually, Ruan Qing narrowed down the suspects.

 

Lin Anyan, Chi Yifan, Sheng Jia, Li Wen, Zeng Wenhao, and the students who sat in the front row during the evening party that day.

 

The specifics were hard to confirm.

 

After entering this instance, Ruan Qing hadn’t rested much, even though he had napped in the afternoon. He still felt somewhat fatigued.

 

Unable to find more clues, Ruan Qing decided to rest directly.

 

***

 

Even though the police were unusually focused, none of the players believed the police would catch the culprit.

 

Even if they caught the culprit, no player would dare to believe it.

 

After all, this was an intermediate-level instance; it’s impossible for the police alone to catch the culprit.

 

Though players hadn’t found any useful clues yet, they know they shouldn’t get close to Ning Mufeng.

 

They kept their distance, and even if they encountered him on the road, they went around him.

 

However, there were times when they could’t avoid that.

 

After all, they and Ning Mufeng were in the same class, and most of their classes were the same.

 

In the morning, they were assigned to groups directly during the physical education class.

 

Obviously, the instance wouldn’t let them avoid it.

 

Either they found out who the culprit was, or they survived for ten days as the target of the culprit.

 

Also assigned to the same group was... Ruan Qing.

 

Due to having morning classes, Ruan Qing couldn’t investigate in the morning and came directly to attend the physical education class.

 

As a result, he was assigned to the same group as Ning Mufeng.

 

Moreover, it’s highly likely to involve physical contact.

 

The sports field was not too remote; one could directly see it from the teaching building. There were also many students on the sports field attending the physical education class together.

 

Ruan Qing glanced briefly and found that six of the suspected persons labeled as culprits were on the sports field.

 

As Ruan Qing had a foot injury, he thought it would be easier to excuse himself, but the physical education teacher rejected his request for leave.

 

Apparently, the game system wouldn’t give players the chance to avoid Ning Mufeng.

 

Wang Qing usually wore sportswear when attending physical education classes, and Ruan Qing, who stayed at Chu Yi’s place last night, was still wearing yesterday’s clothes.

 

Ruan Qing had to go to the changing room to put on sportswear.

 

Ruan Qing, holding his clothes, was looking for an empty changing room.

 

But just as he walked halfway, someone tightly covered his mouth from behind and held his waist firmly, restraining him in the arms of the person behind him.

 

“Umm...” Ruan Qing’s eyes widened and instinctively tried to break free.

 

The person behind him was too strong, and Ruan Qing couldn’t break free.

 

The next second, he was directly dragged into the nearby changing room.
