Wu Wei's Power

Kuang Zhiguo getting into trouble did not surprise Wu Wei, because he had expected it.

But Kuang Zhiguo dying truly surprised Wu Wei.

No matter how he thought about it, he did not believe he and Kuang Zhiguo shared a hatred deep enough to warrant killing each other.

Of course, with the facts right before him, Wu Wei quickly accepted it and immediately began considering the reason.

He had never been a muddleheaded person, nor had he ever wanted to become one.

After going through every interaction he could remember having with Kuang Zhiguo, Wu Wei finally confirmed it—there was something strange about Kuang Zhiguo.

Since he did not think there was anything strange about himself, then the problem could only lie with Kuang Zhiguo.

There was nothing wrong with that logic.

So Wu Wei naturally began considering supernatural factors, because under normal circumstances, something like this was unlikely to happen.

Then he thought of something else:

There were four people in their dormitory.

And now, two of them in a row had tried to harm him.

What about Wang Zixuan?

Would he be next?

Wu Wei, who had always considered himself kind to others, began seriously considering that possibility.

And he quickly came up with a response.

Kuang Zhiguo's death naturally shocked more than just Wu Wei.

When the school doctor announced Kuang Zhiguo's death, everyone who knew about it was stunned.

For the first time, Imperial Capital University's favored students felt death was so close to them.

Li Long's death could have been controlled, but Kuang Zhiguo's death had clearly been beyond control.

The school quickly called the police.

Very few people noticed that Wu Wei had disappeared.

But there were always observant people in the world.

Wang Zixuan was one of them, and Lan Meng was another.

Lan Meng had been casually browsing news online in the dorm when her roommate Zhang Lan suddenly rushed in, her face drained of color.

"What happened?"

"Mengmeng, something huge happened. Hurry and check the school forum."

Imperial Capital University naturally had its own forum, where people often discussed things that happened on campus.

Seeing her best friend in such a panic, Lan Meng frowned and logged into the forum.

One second later, her expression changed drastically.

"Kuang Zhiguo is dead?"

"Yes! He died right in the Western restaurant. It was terrifying—I saw it myself."

Coincidences were just like that. When Kuang Zhiguo died, Zhang Lan happened to be having breakfast at the restaurant. Lan Meng had even asked her to bring back food.

Naturally, she had not brought the food back, and she herself had been badly frightened.

"Li Long got into trouble, and Kuang Zhiguo got into trouble too. What about him? Is he all right?"

Lan Meng muttered to herself. Suddenly unable to sit still, she headed outside.

"Mengmeng, where are you going?"

"To see what's going on."

"I'll go with you."

"No need."

Lan Meng refused Zhang Lan's offer.

Because she needed to find Wu Wei and say things Zhang Lan could not know.

Some secrets were naturally better known by as few people as possible.

The moment she left the dorm building, Lan Meng called Wu Wei.

It connected.

"Wu Wei, where are you? Tell me quickly, I'll come find you."

"Is there something? If not, I'm busy." As usual, Wu Wei rejected her.

Lan Meng was angry, so both her volume and her words were sharper than before. "At a time like this, you're still putting on airs? Wu Wei, haven't you noticed? Li Long and Kuang Zhiguo both got into trouble. Something is clearly wrong with them."

On the other end of the call, Wu Wei's breathing suddenly quickened.

His interactions with Lan Meng over the past few days immediately surfaced in his mind.

He quickly recalled several moments when Lan Meng had wanted to say something but stopped herself, and his heart stirred.

It seemed Lan Meng knew some secrets.

But he was not in a hurry.

And he could not completely trust Lan Meng.

One Li Long had not been enough to put Wu Wei on guard. But with Kuang Zhiguo added to the mix, Wu Wei could not help having some thoughts.

He believed someone was targeting him from the shadows.

Although Wang Zixuan was currently his greatest suspect, this phone call made Wu Wei suspicious of Lan Meng as well.

So he made a decision.

"Go to XXXXXXX. I'll wait for you there."

After giving her the address, Wu Wei ended the call.

Then he turned his gaze to the laptop before him and rapidly tapped several keys. Soon, the computer screen split into two displays:

One showed the place Lan Meng was heading to, while the other showed Lan Meng herself.

And Wang Zixuan was at the place Lan Meng was heading to.

Yes, he was monitoring Lan Meng and Wang Zixuan.

This would have been difficult for anyone else, but for Wu Wei, it was truly effortless.

Anyone who knew Wu Wei knew that he was a computer genius.

But very few knew that the genius they recognized was still far beneath Wu Wei's actual level.

Wherever there was a computer, there were truly very few secrets from Wu Wei.

Wu Wei watched Wang Zixuan and Lan Meng, his eyes flickering. When he saw Wang Zixuan's phone, his gaze abruptly froze.

He enlarged Wang Zixuan's feed, especially the image on Wang Zixuan's phone screen.

Then Wu Wei smiled.

"Holy shit, Weiwei, did you kill Kuang Zhiguo?" Qin Yunhai, who had just walked in, saw the scene too.

He stared at Wu Wei in astonishment, completely bewildered.

In his mind, Wu Wei was not that kind of person.

Wu Wei told Qin Yunhai everything he knew without holding anything back. Qin Yunhai was someone Wu Wei trusted absolutely, and he was currently monitoring Wang Zixuan and Lan Meng from the apartment Qin Yunhai had rented.

Wu Wei did not mind solitude, and of course he did not mind making friends.

It was simply that, in Wu Wei's heart, there were very few people with whom he could communicate as equals on a spiritual level. Among his peers, Qin Yunhai was the only one so far.

So he trusted Qin Yunhai and wanted to hear his opinion.

Qin Yunhai quickly gave his conclusion. "It should be Wang Zixuan."

Wu Wei nodded.

It was more or less what he had expected.

"But this feels deliberate. There are four people in one dormitory, and three of them have had problems. Weiwei, what sort of deity did you offend?" Qin Yunhai asked curiously.

Just as Wu Wei trusted him absolutely, Qin Yunhai also believed in Wu Wei without question.

He understood Wu Wei and trusted his own judgment even more. He did not believe he could have misjudged someone.

So the problem was not with Wu Wei.

Wu Wei did not give Qin Yunhai an answer, but he knew where to find one.

"That question should be asked of Wang Zixuan. But before that, I need to do something."

"Don't rush. If you delete the video now, it won't be fun anymore." Qin Yunhai knew what Wu Wei wanted to do.

But he guessed wrong.

A mocking curve appeared on Wu Wei's lips. "Who said I was going to delete the video?"

"Then you...?" Qin Yunhai froze, then thought of something.

"I'll make Wang Zixuan—reap what he has sown."

Many people knew how to Photoshop pictures, turning one person into another.

But very few knew how to alter videos, turning one person into another.

Unfortunately for them, Wu Wei could.

And very few people in this world were better at it than he was.

As the sound of Wu Wei tapping the keyboard continued, Qin Yunhai's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

This best friend's strength really kept shattering his understanding of him.

"Weiwei, every time I watch you type, I get this feeling."

"What feeling?" Wu Wei asked, multitasking.

"You're really handsome." Qin Yunhai praised him from the bottom of his heart.

Wu Wei's body stiffened.

"Yunhai, you're a married man. And besides... I don't swing that way."

"I used to think the same way, until I met you."
