The dark night enveloped the city .
Ke Wanqing stood in front of the tall building, smiling brightly . The surroundings were bordered with green mesh and there were no lights installed yet, so the building seemed to not be of high value .
However, only Ke Wanqing knew that once this building underwent construction, she would be able to obtain enormous benefits from it . Originally Mayor Zhou hadn’t planned on handing over the project to her, but who knew that his daughter would dare hit Mu Rulan .
To think of how dramatic it had been, she couldn’t hold back and let out a laugh . Mayor Zhou had delivered this directly to her . Hmmph . At least her daughter hadn’t been hit without purpose .
The workers had finished with their work and returned home . Ke Wanqing was so excited the past few days that she would come to see the progress of the building that would become one of the milestones in her life .
The city was on the cusp of winter . The cold wind whistled as it blew .
A newspaper flapped onto her leg . Ke Wanqing tried to kick it off, but the strong wind kept it pinned to her leg .
She frowned . Just as she wanted to bend down and take it off, she heard the sound of a steel pipe falling from the top of the building .
She immediately froze before raising her head to look up at the dark building, “Who’s there?!”
Advertis.e.m.e.ntShe waited a while but there was no response . She thought perhaps it was because of the wind, so she bent to rip the newspaper off her leg .
As she did so, though, her scan of the headlines on the newspaper in the dim lighting revealed a scary, headless female body on the front page . It was a homicide case . With that kind of wording in the environment she was in, Ke Wanqing s.h.i.+vered and swept the newspaper away .
As she straightened her body, she realized something warm and wet was dripping on to her head, and some on to her face .
Was it…… raining? Translated by The Novelst
Ke Wanqing froze in shock then went to stand, but before that a loud sound resounded! Legs appeared before her; the man was wearing leather shoes and green police pants .
She sighed in relief, expecting the security guard . So she straightened her body to talk, but thud! Something fell to the ground and rolled a few times to stop by her leg…
It was a b.l.o.o.d.y human head!
“AH!” She screamed, the blood draining from her face as she realized the wet liquid on her head was not water but blood .
She raised her head in terror, looking for help before her, but what she saw instead was a body, standing straight, without its head .
“AHHHHHHHHHHHH!”
……
Police cars, sirens wailing, drove by the window .
Mu Rulan sat across from Mo Qianren, the table between them holding two cups of hot coffee, faint white smoke curling in the air .
Her gaze followed the police cars until they couldn’t be seen any longer . She turned around to look at Mo Qianren . “Shouldn’t Mr . Mo be in cla.s.s today?” It wasn’t the weekend and Mu Rulan had been allowed out for a walk . She hadn’t expected to run into Mo Qianren .
He took a sip of coffee . “Question: when you’re locked inside a sealed s.p.a.ce and you encounter someone that threatens your life, what do you do to save yourself?”
Mu Rulan blinked slowly . “Testing my mentality again? Mm, how many questions has it been already? Maybe I should charge to answer questions . ”
“Not planning on answering?”
“I’ll answer,” she said, smiling helplessly as if she couldn’t do anything against Mo Qianren . “Well then, do you want me to go straight to the point or would you prefer a detailed answer?”
He had only ever heard people ask if he wanted the real answer or a fake one, but had never been asked about the length of the answer .
“The main point . ” Translated by The Novelst
“Kill the opponent,” she said immediately .
Mo Qianren was silent for a few seconds, his gaze locked on Mu Rulan . “What about the detailed answer?”
“The detailed one, huh… First, I would have to see what’s being used to threaten me . I have to check the opponent’s strength, then calculate the distance between myself and the exit, and see whether or not the exit is sealed . ”
“If the opponent is holding a gun, then there’s a 90% chance of death if you don’t use your brain to run circles around him . If it’s a knife, it depends on what gender the person is, how quick they are and if you can run over to them . If you can’t then of course you want a weapon that you can use to confront them before they kill you . Then it narrows down to either suppressing the person or killing the person,” she spoke as she used a fork to break off a piece of the cake .
Mo Qianren continued to stare at her expression and body language, wordless .
“Did you know? There are many cases and movie scenes that the victim chooses to play hide and seek with the opponent, and in over 85% of those scenarios they die tragically . That’s because the criminal isn’t stupid enough to commit their crimes in a crowded area . Also, most kidnappers kill their hostages rather than let them live . Nowadays, police officers are quite busy . ” The only reliable path to keep herself alive was to save herself .
Mo Qianren was still staring at her, seeming to have no intention of speaking . His phone began to vibrate, so he picked up the call .
An anxious voice sounded on the line, causing him to furrow his brows before his gaze sharpened as he listened to them . His eyes once again returned to Mu Rulan .
Mu Rulan, receiving that pointed look, blinked just once . Her eyes were pure and calm, looking very innocent .
However, he gripped his phone tightly and stood up . He looked down at her, his gaze icy . His lips were pressed tightly together and in the end he didn’t say a single word before turning around and leaving .
She blinked again, looking at Mo Qianren’s rapidly disappearing figure from her seat in the shop . The smile on her face deepened .
Her white fingers slowly stirred the dark coffee in the cup . After a while, her phone also rang .
In this dark night, there seemed to circulate a certain restlessness .
