Everyone looked surprised when they saw that Qin Siyang didn't know the girl who had fainted.
Zhao Sifang laughed awkwardly, "Brother Qin, we're all on the same side here. What's there to hide about having a girlfriend—Ow! Brother-in-law, why are you stepping on me again?"
Gu Yunxuan held Wen Shu's arm and snorted twice at Qin Siyang, "Qin Siyang! I always thought you were an honest man! I didn't expect you to have a girlfriend and still not admit it! And you even lied... lied to people and said you were single!"
Qin Siyang frowned tightly, "Why wouldn't I admit it? I really don't know her! Also, Gu Yunxuan, weren't you guys supposed to be attending classes at United Government Academy? Why are you back at noon already?"
"Hmph! Brother Sifang told me your girlfriend came looking for you. I was so mad I couldn't eat, so I dragged Sister Wen Shu back to see your ugly side."
Qin Siyang looked at the furious Gu Yunxuan, then glared at Zhao Sifang behind her.
Zhao Sifang lowered his head and stared at his shoes, not meeting Qin Siyang's eyes.
Qin Siyang pointed at Zhao Sifang, so angry he almost laughed, "You brat. Good, very good!"
"Brother Qin, don't blame me. I'm standing on the side of justice."
"You little—"
"Qin Siyang, stop picking on Brother Sifang. Talk about yourself first!"
Qin Siyang took out the bird-shaped lie detector, "Talk about what? I don't even know her. What do you want me to say?"
["Truth."]
"Huh? Brother Qin didn't lie? That can't be right... Then her boyfriend isn't Brother Qin? No way. We heard it ourselves. She said her boyfriend was one of South University's freshman prodigies and lived in the East Guesthouse."
["Truth."]
"A freshman prodigy living in the East Guesthouse? Then isn't the problem obvious?"
Qin Siyang spread his hands, "I'm not the only freshman prodigy picked by those people from the news department! Aren't the four of you included too?"
"Don't all of you live in the East Guesthouse too? Why dump this on me? Come on, the lie detector's right here. All of you say your piece. If I find out which bastard pushed trouble onto me, I'll drag him onto the combat arena today and fight to the death."
Chu Baxing said coldly, "Qin Siyang, you know me. I'm not interested in women. A girlfriend would only slow down my progress."
["Truth."]
Hu Chan looked calm, "Boss Qin, you know me. I'm the Holy Son of the Zeshi Church. I can't possibly get a girlfriend."
["Truth."]
Gu Yunpeng smiled warmly, "President Qin, you know me. I've always thought relationships were troublesome, so I stay away from them."
["Truth."]
Zhao Sifang looked innocent, "Why are you all looking at me? Brother Qin, you know me. I only like Xuanxuan. How could I date another girl?"
["Truth."]
One by one, they cleared themselves of suspicion. Everyone present looked confused.
After confirming that this person was not Qin Siyang's girlfriend, Sally smiled, "I knew it. Your taste isn't that bad! Qin Siyang, see you later."
After saying that, she waved at Qin Siyang and left the lobby first.
Qin Siyang stared coldly at Gu Yunxuan, making her suddenly unsure what to do.
Zhao Sifang stepped in front of Gu Yunxuan, "Brother Qin, I was the one who told Xuanxuan. If you're angry, take it out on me."
Gu Yunxuan tugged at Zhao Sifang's sleeve, touched by his words, "Brother Sifang..."
Qin Siyang sighed.
'"Brother Sifang" every other sentence.'
'It is unbearable to watch.'
At that moment, the unconscious girl woke up.
Looking at the strangers around her, she sat up in alarm, "Where is this? Who are you people? I think... I fainted from exhaustion."
Qin Siyang dragged over a chair and sat in front of her, "This is the guesthouse. We live here. No one cares how you fainted. What we want to know now is, who are you?"
"I... my name is Qiu Yu. I'm a freshman at South University. I came here to find my boyfriend. He's one of the top students in our year..."
["Truth."]
The girl froze.
Right in front of everyone, Qin Siyang once again pulled out the bird-shaped lie detector from his clothes.
Gu Yunxuan looked unhappy, "Qin Siyang, she just woke up. Why are you—"
Before she could finish, Zhao Sifang grabbed her and signaled for her to stop talking.
Chu Baxing, Zhao Sifang, and the others all looked at the girl with more serious expressions.
Just as Qin Siyang was about to continue questioning her, the lobby door suddenly opened.
"Oh, everyone's here! Xiaoyu, why are you here?"
Qin Siyang turned around, "Fu Wanli?"
When Qiu Yu saw Fu Wanli, she immediately showed a sweet smile, "Wanli, you finally came to find me. I was getting so anxious!"
Fu Wanli walked over, "Big brothers... and big sister, this is Qiu Yu, the girlfriend I started dating yesterday. Hehe! Today we moved together into the ninth floor of the guesthouse."
Hu Chan glanced at Fu Wanli, "She said her boyfriend was one of South University's prodigies."
Fu Wanli smiled awkwardly, "Uh, Third Brother Hu, you know me. You get it."
Hu Chan gave a slight nod.
Fu Wanli had probably bragged again.
Suddenly, a blur flashed past.
Everyone paused slightly.
Chu Baxing suddenly appeared several steps away.
"Second Brother Chu, you—"
Puchi!
Right after that, Qiu Yu's two arms slid off from her shoulders, and dark red blood sprayed out.
"This..."
Before Fu Wanli understood what had happened, Qiu Yu beside him let out a miserable scream.
"Ah!"
Fu Wanli immediately covered her wounds, "Second Brother Chu, did you do this? What are you doing?"
Chu Baxing ignored Fu Wanli and only looked coldly at Qiu Yu, whose whole body was twitching.
Meanwhile, Qin Siyang and the others sat on the sofas without reacting at all.
Zhao Sifang even thoughtfully covered Gu Yunxuan's eyes and mouth.
Wen Shu calmly watched everything from the side.
"Brother Qin, are you just going to watch Chu Baxing attack her? Didn't Xiaoyu just pass your lie detector?"
Qin Siyang replied calmly, "Talk less, unless you want to get dragged into this too."
"Brother Qin..."
Seeing that none of them stopped Chu Baxing or even responded to him, Fu Wanli's anger froze in his chest, replaced by confusion.
He turned to look at Qiu Yu.
Qiu Yu's whole body convulsed from the pain, "What are you people doing? Are you trying to kill me? Do the freshman prodigies think they can do whatever they want?"
Gu Yunpeng asked, "So now you know we're South University prodigies? Didn't you say earlier that you didn't know who we were?"
Qiu Yu's expression stiffened, and she froze for a moment.
Just as she was about to explain, Gu Yunpeng spoke again, "No need to explain. That's not your only problem. You said you didn't know us when you woke up. During course selection last week, we sat in the front. We were also sitting in the front during class this morning. And these past few days, Fu Wanli has been with us all the time. Yet you claim you don't know us?"
Hu Chan continued, "It'd be one thing if you forgot the others, but not recognizing Gu Yunpeng at all makes no sense. Qiu Yu, you overdid the dumb act."
Qin Siyang rolled his eyes at Hu Chan and stayed silent.
Chu Baxing crossed his arms, "Coming here alone to trouble us, I thought your sequence was heaven-defying. Turns out you're not even Sequence Level Five. Looking for death."
Zhao Sifang said, "Brother Qin, I don't think there's any need to waste time interrogating her. Killing her and reading her memories would be more reliable."
As Fu Wanli listened to them sentence Qiu Yu to death piece by piece, the shock on his face grew stronger.
When he finally heard even the honest Fifth Brother Zhao say that, his heartbeat nearly stopped.
"K-Kill... kill her?"
