Bet You Didn't Expect It, I'm the Real Deal! (Continued)

The scene froze for a moment. Zou Yuxing was completely bewildered, unable to recover for a long time. "So Su Shangting, you really are a policeman? Then why did you pretend so convincingly to fool us!"

Su Shangting: "..." Is that the point?!

"Of course I can't reveal my identity so easily. What if you all gang up on me and kick me out?" Su Shangting rubbed his hair. It was no use saying anything now.

Aside from Gu Suian, the renowned detective, there are now only three people left who belong to the villainous camp.

Zou Yuxing asked casually, "What are your identities?"

Wen Feiran took a step back awkwardly, as if that would allow him to escape further questioning.

He looked at Meng Zizheng, assuming Meng Zizheng would have the same reaction, but to his surprise, Meng Zizheng licked his lips, feeling guilty for having concealed his identity.

The Meng Zizheng was able to brainwash people for so long also reflects that he was a very simple-minded person.

Meng Zizheng took two cards out of his pocket and handed them to Wen Feiran and Zou Yuxing.

"What is this?" Zou Yuxing asked, puzzled.

"Your life bars."

Neither of them expected something so ethereal to be presented in this way, and they both looked over with curiosity.

The numbers below are not clear; you can only see the percentage of each person's remaining health.

Wen Feiran still had half left, while Zou Yuxing was worn down to just a sliver of health.

Zou Yuxing instantly broke down, yelling, "How come I only have so few health points left? I'll die on the spot in the next second!"

Meng Zizheng scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "Look at the numbers below."

Zou Yuxing squinted and said casually, "I still have one hundred points left."

Wen Feiran: "..."

His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at his remaining half-health bar.

Only 15 points!!

Meng Zizheng said timidly, "At first I couldn't see the specific values, and I only stole a small bite. I didn't expect it to hurt you so much. After that, I stopped absorbing your life force."

Meng Zizheng also looked frightened, as if still shaken.

Thankfully, he was cautious at the time, otherwise he would have killed Wen Feiran right at the start.

"And what about Zou Yuxing?"

Meng Zizheng explained, "His life points are the highest, more than all of yours combined. I've been relying on him to keep going these past few days."

Wen Feiran subconsciously looked at Zou Yuxing.

Zou Yuxing was still full of energy, and in Wen Feiran's eyes, he seemed to be bathed in holy light. Wen Feiran was made to look like a dark mushroom by this surging vitality.

Zou Yuxing generously said, "Although I only have a sliver of health left, you should still absorb my essence. Wen Feiran can't handle it."

A man shouldn't be told he's no good, Wen Feiran weakly protested, "I exercise every day. Don't let my appearance fool you, I do have biceps."

He squeezed for a long time, but the thin fabric didn't budge an inch.

Gu Suian belonged to a different faction and hadn't joined the conversation until now. He chuckled and gave his assessment, "Very impressive."

Wen Feiran's ear tips turned red, her face flushed, and she felt like she was about to evaporate on the spot.

Meng Zizheng considerately changed the subject, "I'm not going to continue draining your life force. I've been living in fear these past few days, afraid that you would discover my strange behavior. Now that I've said it out loud, I feel much more at ease."

Meng Zizheng, speaking frankly, asked, "What are your identities?"

Wen Feiran maintained a calm expression, but her mind was racing, trying to find a plausible excuse to get by.

Zou Yuxing blinked and said matter-of-factly, "I don't have an identity. I'm probably just an ordinary person."

Meng Zizheng:???

Wen Feiran recalled the woodpecker he had seen in the trash can and, mimicking Zou Yuxing, said, "I don't know either, maybe we have the same identity."

Seeing that the other two easily believed his words, Wen Feiran let out a long breath, but when he looked up, Gu Suian's deep gaze.

Wen Feiran tensed up instantly.

Zou Yuxing and Meng Zizheng deceive him, but Gu Suian's eyes seemed to be able to see through his skin and into his heart.

The few seconds they stared at each other felt like an eternity, but thankfully Gu Suian didn't say anything.

Having barely weathered the crisis, Wen Feiran hadn't even recovered when Zou Yuxing's words brought her back to reality.

"Everyone online is talking about you, Feiran. Do you know Go? Why didn't you mention it before?"

Wen Feiran:!! Dude, are you really trying to kill me?!

Wen Feiran's brain completely shut down, and he stammered, unable to utter a single complete sentence.

"You also have a long-lost chess manual? Where did you get it?"

Wen Feiran had been hoping for the best, thinking that the matter wouldn't be discovered, and hadn't thought of an explanation yet, so she could only pretend to be mute.

Zou Yuxing scrolled down on his own, muttering unconsciously, "These netizens are amazing; they even dug up one of your identities."

Upon hearing this, Wen Feiran felt as if she could hardly breathe.

His biggest secret was that he had been captured and forced to do a quick transmigration mission, but he had kept it a secret very well. No normal person would even think of that, so how could it possibly be exposed?

Wen Feiran heard her own voice. "Are you kidding me? What identity could I possibly have?"

Zou Yuxing looked up, still with that cheerful expression, "Don't hide it anymore, it's great news, you are White Dragon..."

Upon hearing the first two words, Wen Feiran's pupils constricted, his mind filled with images of him being captured and subjected to research, never to see the light of day again.

Everything seemed to move in slow motion; every word seemed to come from a distant place, lingering in his ears for a long time.
