Important Clue

"Then you go ahead and tell me first." I looked at him as I spoke.

"From what I observed in the basement, Han Qianqian's seal wasn't opened by her. It was destroyed by someone else," Master Du Mo said.

"Oh? Who did that?" I looked at him and asked.

"That's the second question." Master Du Mo reached into his sleeve, and a student ID appeared in his palm.

"I picked this up in the basement. Perhaps this was the person who released Han Qianqian."

I took the student ID. It belonged to a male high school sophomore named Wang Qunze. I glanced at it before asking, "I can find him."

"Then help me find him. Be careful—he isn't an ordinary person," Master Du Mo said.

I nodded and left with hatred burning in my heart.

Watching my departing back, Master Du Mo carried his lantern and said casually, "Hatred makes people lose their way, and it also makes them forget themselves. Don't you agree?"

Behind him, Han Qianqian's figure appeared. Her eyes were vicious, and her entire body was covered in black energy.

Chapter 13: Important Clue

Looking at the student ID in my hand, I fell into deep thought. Finding this person wouldn't be difficult. But capturing him wouldn't be so simple.

I decided to discuss it with Li Tongtian, so I gave him a call.

Li Tongtian came out soon after. He looked at me and said, "This Wang Qunze definitely isn't an ordinary person. But why exactly did he release Han Qianqian?"

"It is difficult to understand, but we'll find him first," I said.

"Good. This time, we'll use every means necessary to find him!" Li Tongtian said firmly.

So we discussed the matter and went our separate ways.

The next day, following the address on the student ID, I found Class Three of the second year. Li Tongtian followed behind me, his gaze filled with icy coldness.

Behind the two of us was a group of burly thugs. Each of them carried a steel pipe and wore a vicious expression. Li Tongtian and I had paid every one of them to come. They were willing to risk their lives for money.

The surrounding students scattered when they saw this, watching us fearfully.

My face was gloomy, and I was fully prepared for a major battle. No matter who this Wang Qunze was, I would make him pay today!

I kicked open the door to Class Three of the second year and shouted, "Who's Wang Qunze?"

When I spoke, everyone exchanged glances before turning their gazes toward the corner.

In the corner of the classroom, a boy with a deathly pale face stared at us. He kept backing away, his eyes full of bewilderment.

"You're Wang Qunze?" I pointed at him and shouted.

"Yes, big brother, that's me. Did I offend you?" Wang Qunze looked at the burly men behind me and spoke in a trembling voice.

I didn't want to waste words with him, so I waved my hand. "Get him! Beat him half to death!"

The thugs behind me charged forward as one and began raining punches and kicks on him. I hid behind them, watching Wang Qunze with a trace of hesitation.

Wang Qunze covered his head with both hands and cried out, "Big brother, I don't even know you! What are you trying to do?"

The thugs had taken my money, so naturally they showed no mercy. They viciously pummeled him with punches and kicks. Wang Qunze was trapped in the corner and beaten relentlessly. Soon, his face was swollen and bruised.

Just then, Wang Qunze let out an angry roar and shouted at us, "You're bullying me too much! I'll fight you to the death!"

He roared again, fury filling his face.

At that moment, Li Tongtian hurriedly shouted, "He's about to perform a ritual! Do what we planned!"

The surrounding thugs neatly pulled out virgin urine and black dog blood, then splashed them directly over Wang Qunze's head. Soon, Wang Qunze was drenched like a drowned rat, looking utterly miserable.

The various bizarre smells made him seem as if he had fallen into a toilet.

At that moment, I roared, "Keep beating him! I want to see how capable he really is!"

Another round of wild blows rained down on him. Wang Qunze soon became too beaten to even scream. Only then did I order the thugs to drag him out by the legs.

Watching his pitiful, motionless body being dragged across the ground, I looked uneasily at Li Tongtian and whispered in his ear, "Did we get it wrong? Wang Qunze looks like nothing more than an ordinary person!"

"But the student ID clearly belongs to him. Even the photo is identical. We couldn't have gotten it wrong," Li Tongtian said.

"Then we'll interrogate him. I want to know exactly what he did to release Han Qianqian!" I said coldly.

So we took Wang Qunze to a remote abandoned building. He was tied to a chair and had already fallen unconscious.

I sat on the dilapidated sofa opposite him, my face filled with menace.

"Stop pretending. I know you're awake."

Only then did Wang Qunze open his blackened eyes and look at me miserably. "Big brother, what are you doing? How did I offend you? Why are you treating me like this?"

"This student ID belongs to you, right?" I held out my hand and tossed the student ID to him.

When Wang Qunze saw the student ID, his pupils contracted. He hurriedly said, "It really is mine, but I lost it some time ago. I don't know where it went."

"Oh? Where did you lose it?" I looked at him and asked.

"I don't know that either." As Wang Qunze spoke, his eyes darted about.

"Looks like you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin." I sneered and waved my hand. The two burly men beside me grinned as they grabbed their steel pipes and prepared to charge.

Seeing this, Wang Qunze cried out in terror, "Big brother, I'll talk! I'll talk! I lost the student ID at the Abandoned School."
