Chương 15: I heard you were looking for me?

Su Qinghe was completely stunned after hearing this.

As Jiang Che's best friend, she naturally knew very well the deep, interdependent bond between Jiang Che and his sister Jiang Xian.

She knew how much Jiang Xian had suffered to support Jiang Che's education, and she also knew Jiang Che's determination to give his sister a better life.

Jiang Che's sister is dead?

How is that possible!

"Jiang... Jiang Che, you're joking, right?" Su Qinghe's voice began to tremble.

"I'm not kidding. She was killed by an Awakened One." Jiang Che's voice was eerily calm.

Su Qinghe immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.

Jiang Xian was killed by the Awakened Ones, and now, so many aggressive Awakened Ones have suddenly appeared in the school, frantically searching for Jiang Che.

Su Qinghe immediately connected the cause and effect.

Jiang Che must have done something crazy to avenge his sister, which is why he's now being hunted down by those awakened forces!

"Jiang Che, where are you now? Listen to me!"

Su Qinghe was terrified. She hurriedly asked Jiang Che, her voice filled with worry, "Those Awakened Ones who went to the school to look for you seemed to have very bad intentions. They'll definitely follow the trail and find you! Why don't you come to my house to hide? My house is in a villa area, and security is very tight. Even those Awakened Ones can't just come in!"

Jiang Che decisively declined Su Qinghe's invitation and offer of protection.

"It's alright, Qinghe, don't worry about me."

Jiang Che's tone was as cold as a block of ice, "I don't need to hide. I'm about to go out and find them."

hide?

Jiang Che now possesses the Knight Hunting System and dream capsules that grant unlimited star upgrades, so why should he hide!

Jiang Che paused, then his tone became serious again: "Qinghe, can you do me a favor?"

When Su Qinghe heard that Jiang Che was going to actively seek out the Awakened Ones, she was so anxious she almost cried, but she still answered without hesitation, "Tell me! I'll help you with anything!"

Jiang Che glanced at the bedroom door and said in a low voice, "Keep an eye on my sister's body for me. I have some things to take care of."

"what?"

Su Qinghe was stunned upon hearing this.

On the other end of the phone, Su Qinghe instantly felt a chill run from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, sending a shiver down her spine.

Jiang Che actually asked her, a girl, to help guard a corpse that had just died!

This kind of thing would evoke instinctive fear and resistance in any ordinary person.

However, Su Qinghe hesitated for only a brief second out of fear.

"Okay! I'll take care of it for you!" Su Qinghe gritted her teeth and agreed in an extremely firm tone.

Jiang Che was not surprised by Su Qinghe's decisiveness.

He knew Su Qinghe's character and knew that although she appeared weak, she possessed a strong sense of loyalty and resilience that most people lacked.

Thank you.

Jiang Che said it from the bottom of his heart.

"Then please come to my new house. I've left the key under the doormat."

After hanging up the phone.

Jiang Che threw his phone on the bed, then faced the window and let out a chilling laugh.

The reason he asked Su Qinghe to help take care of Jiang Xian's body was because he absolutely could not stay at home and wait idly.

He desperately needs a lot of points to draw Dream Recovery Capsules!

Because the dead cannot be brought back to life, and corpses will stiffen and decompose over time!

If too much time is wasted, even if a recovery item is eventually obtained, it will be utterly useless against a highly decomposed corpse.

Therefore, he must acquire system points in the shortest amount of time and with the most frantic efficiency! And then he must go hunting!

An awakened individual who went to the school to gather information?

Since those people were so foolish as to come looking for him, it saved him the time of searching for prey everywhere.

He accepted the points offered to him without hesitation!

...

...

Outside Linchuan University, in a secluded and deserted abandoned alleyway.

Several cigarette butts were scattered on the ground, and three burly men with menacing expressions were gathered together, sharing the information they had just gathered on campus.

"Have you found out where that kid lives?"

The man in the lead was named Zhu Haoxuan. He was wearing a black leather jacket, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his tone was impatient.

He is the godson of Elder Yang Chen of the Knights Alliance. This time, he received a death order to find the murderer named Jiang Che.

A younger brother with dyed blond hair shook his head, reporting with a frustrated look, "Boss, no. That kid seems to be very withdrawn at school. He only goes to class and works part-time. He doesn't even have a roommate, and nobody knows where he lives."

"Not a single friend?" Zhu Haoxuan's brows furrowed even deeper.

"No, you could say he's a complete outsider," the blond-haired thug said definitively.

At this moment, another henchman with a buzz cut hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "Um, boss, I did find out something else. Although he doesn't have any friends, he has a female classmate he's quite close to. I just went to confront that woman, trying to find out Jiang Che's whereabouts. But that woman was very aggressive, claiming to be from the 'Su family of Nancheng,' and she had a lot of impressive credentials.

Because it was in public, with too many students around, I couldn't just physically interrogate her."

Upon hearing the words "Su Family of Nancheng," Zhu Haoxuan's body stiffened abruptly, and his pupils contracted instantly.

The short-haired thug, oblivious to Zhu Haoxuan's odd behavior, continued his fawning: "Boss, how about we follow that girl now? Once she leaves school, find a secluded spot, tie her up, and torture her severely. I don't believe we won't get Jiang Che's whereabouts out of her. Don't worry, I promise I'll do it cleanly, leaving absolutely no trace..."

"Bang!"

Before the crew-cut henchman could finish speaking, Zhu Haoxuan kicked him hard in the stomach.

The crew-cut young man screamed, clutching his stomach and staggering back several steps, looking at Zhu Haoxuan with a blank and pained expression.

"Don't drag me down with you if you want to die!" Zhu Haoxuan roared, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

"You blind fool! The Su family of Nancheng behind that woman is someone neither you nor I can afford to mess with! If we touch her, not only you, but even my godfather can't protect us!"

The two underlings were stunned and looked at each other blankly.

They never imagined that the Su family of Nancheng had such a terrifying background that even their usually arrogant and domineering boss was so afraid of them.

You should know that their leader is Elder Yang Chen's godson, and he's a big shot in Linchuan City.

Zhu Haoxuan took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and looked at his two subordinates with a look of intense ambition.

"Listen up, all of you," Zhu Haoxuan said in a low voice, his tone filled with fanaticism.

"My good-for-nothing adopted brother, Yang Yiming, is dead. If I can successfully catch his killer this time and avenge my godfather, he will definitely look at me with new respect and treat me like his own son! Then, I will inherit all the resources of the Yang family!"

He patted his two henchmen on the shoulders and began to make grand promises: "As for you two, as long as you honestly help me get things done this time, I guarantee that in the future, when I, Zhu Haoxuan, am eating meat, you'll definitely get your share of the soup!"

Upon hearing these words, the two henchmen's eyes lit up immediately. They even forgot the pain from the kick they had just received and quickly put on an extremely flattering expression.

"Don't worry, boss! Our lives are yours!"

"Yes! Even if we have to turn Linchuan City upside down, we'll find that kid's place for you!"

Just as the three were pledging their loyalty and envisioning the future.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

A series of steady, rhythmic footsteps suddenly rang out at the entrance of the empty alley, growing louder and louder, clearly approaching the three of them.

The three of them instantly became alert and turned to look at each other.

From the shadows of the alley, a slender boy slowly emerged. His hands were in his pockets, his face expressionless, and his cold eyes silently watched them.

"I heard you've been looking for me?"
