Zhang Fu shrank his neck and nodded timidly, looking terrified.
Cai Hong'an leaned over, lit a cigarette for He Jun, and said in a fawning tone, "Brother Jun, don't worry, with Zhang Fu's guts, he wouldn't dare do anything even if we leave him hanging!"
The three of them followed He Jun's lead without question. He Jun's family was rich and powerful, while Cai Hong'an and Zhang Fu came from ordinary families. Not long after they enrolled, the two of them became He Jun's lackeys.
Therefore, the one who initially disliked Yu Rong was actually He Jun. Zhang Fu and Cai Hong'an were merely acting on He Jun's orders, and their various acts of emotional abuse and violence against Yu Rong were all carried out under He Jun's guidance.
On the day of the incident, the three of them returned to their dormitory drunk. The first person to attack Yu Rong was He Jun. He Jun's crush said that she liked someone like Yu Rong, which made He Jun, who already disliked Yu Rong, even more uncomfortable.
So on that day, alcohol and anger caused He Jun to act recklessly, while Zhang Fu and Cai Hong'an were his accomplices.
After they beat Yu Rong to death, they didn't even notice it immediately. It wasn't until they woke up in the middle of the night after taking a nap that they realized there was someone lying on the ground and that Yu Rong had been beaten to death by the three of them.
Now, all three of them were completely sober.
[... I'm warning you, anyone who dares to tell anyone about what happened today, I'll kill them!] He Jun reacted immediately, glaring fiercely at the two of them.
Cai Hong'an snapped out of his daze and replied without hesitation, "Don't worry, Brother Jun, we'll do whatever you say!"
As for Zhang Fu, he was already terrified by the corpse in front of him, his face turned pale and his whole body trembled.
The only one who remained calm at the scene was He Jun. He looked down at Yu Rong's corpse on the ground, his expression dark and unclear.
In a daze, Cai Hong'an thought he saw him suddenly smile, but because his face was hidden in the backlight, Cai Hong'an couldn't see it clearly. However, he thought he might have been mistaken.
After all, they've just killed someone; they're too scared to even be laughing.
"[Dispose of the body first.]" He Jun said calmly, his expression extremely cold, showing no sign of panic.
Let's go back to the present.
Cai Hong'an looked at He Jun and asked in a worried whisper, "Brother Jun, the police seem to still be searching the school. Could they have actually found Yu Rong's body?"
He Jun took a breath, scoffed, and said, "Those cops are a bunch of useless bastards. They've been searching for over two months and haven't found a body. I doubt they'd find anything even if they had more time!"
He glanced at Cai Hong'an, who also seemed somewhat uneasy, and exhaled smoke as he said, "What are you afraid of? I said it's nothing, so it's nothing. My uncle is the vice president of S University, and he's already taken care of the cleanup. There's no trace of us on the surveillance footage... The place where we disposed of the body was also an abandoned garbage dump on campus. Who would have thought Yu Rong's body would be there?"
Moreover, he wasn't afraid even if a body were discovered.
"My family won't let anything happen to me!" he said smugly.
Upon hearing this, Cai Hong'an immediately felt relieved and fawned over He Jun, saying, "I knew it. With your family's background, nothing would happen..."
He Jun seemed quite satisfied with his sycophancy and fawning.
"Jun, Brother Jun..." Just then, Zhang Fu's trembling voice came from the side.
He Jun impatiently lifted his eyelids to look over, and asked coldly, "What's wrong with you now?"
Zhang Fu held up his phone to show them; the screen appeared to be a group chat interface. His voice was weak as he said, "... Yu Rong's body has been found."
"..."
He Jun's calm expression suddenly changed. He snatched Zhang Fu's phone and started scrolling through the group chat history.
Zhang Fu's chat group was a student chat group for his major, and at this moment, it was filled with messages, making it difficult to keep up.
He Jun kept scrolling through the messages until he saw a certain picture, at which point his fingers suddenly stopped.
He zoomed in on the photo, which showed a garbage dump with police officers in uniform and an excavator. The dump had been dug up, and the police officers seemed to have found something and were gathering around it. A black bag could be vaguely seen in the photo.
The student who posted the photo also posted a message saying, "[It seems the police have found Yu Rong's body.]"
Upon seeing this sentence, He Jun felt a chill run down his spine.
Meanwhile, the messages on his phone in the chat group kept flashing, one after another reflected in his eyes:
[Is that really Yu Rong's body? So, Yu Rong is really dead? My God!]
[It would be such a shame if Yu Rong were really dead. He was the top student in our grade, and the teachers all said he had a bright future. If he could graduate, he would at least be an elite in our major... So, who the hell could be so heartless as to kill such an outstanding student!]
The thought that there's a murderer in our school sends chills down my spine; it's terrifying.
[I had hoped that Yu Rong had simply disappeared, but now...]
One message after another popped up impatiently. Looking at the messages lamenting Yu Rong's death, He Jun's expression became increasingly ferocious.
Bang!
He slammed the phone in his hand down, and it shattered into pieces upon hitting the wall.
He Jun, panting heavily, gritted his teeth and said, "What is Yu Rong anyway? How dare he compare to me? So what if he's outstanding? He's still dead. What's the point of regretting someone who's already dead?"
Cai Hong'an and Zhang Fu didn't speak, but looked at him with some fear.
After cursing for a while, He Jun finally calmed down. He turned to Cai Hong'an and the other man and said, "What are you afraid of? What if Yu Rong, a country bumpkin, dies? Don't worry, I'll handle this."
When he talked about how he would handle it, his tone was very relaxed, as if killing someone was not a big deal to him.
Cai Hong'an and Zhang Fu listened, feeling a chill run down their spines—how could they possibly have anything to do with someone like that?
Will it end well?
Chapter 63, the sixty-third melon: What kind of melon is it? It's the one you take sixty-three bites of...
He Jun's arrogance is naturally based on something he's relying on.
His uncle is the vice president of S University, and his father, mother, and eldest uncle are all in the system. Other relatives have also made achievements in many fields. In other words, the He Family can be said to be powerful and influential in City S, if not all-powerful.
As the only son of the He Family, He Jun had never had anything he wanted since childhood, though he could get almost anything he wanted.
Realizing that Yu Rong's situation might not end well, he turned around and went home, crying and begging his family for help.
"... I didn't mean to. I was drunk. I don't even know what happened. When I woke up, I found he was dead." In front of his family, He Jun was no longer arrogant as before, but instead wore a tearful and regretful expression. "I really didn't mean to!"
He clung to his father's legs, crying and pleading, "Dad, you have to save me, you have to save me... If you don't save me, I'll die! Dad—"
Upon hearing what his Father He. He was so enraged he nearly had a stroke. He grabbed whatever was nearby and started hitting him, roaring, "You unfilial son! I could tolerate your past misdeeds, but now you've even dared to kill someone?! I'll beat you to death today!"
He Jun shouted, "Dad, believe me, I really didn't mean it, I didn't expect him to die..."
