Chu Feifan rummaged through the kitchen, seemingly searching for something, his face displaying a constant look of anxiety. Su Jin'er quietly watched him.
"What are you looking for?" Su Jin'er suddenly asked softly.
Chu Feifan paused his movements and looked at Su Jin'er with embarrassment, saying, "It's nothing, just checking if there are any important clues."
Su Jin'er straightened up and stared at him intently, saying, "Who are you?"
Chu Feifan frowned, looking at her in confusion. "I am Chu Feifan! What's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine. I'm just curious about how you know where the kitchen is. Why aren't you looking for clues in those strange rooms instead of here?"
"You really are clever. When did you start suspecting me?" Chu Feifan crossed his arms and looked at Su Jin'er with a half-smile.
"Since we went up to the third floor. I didn't suspect you when you were worried about me going up alone, but even if you were scared, you wouldn't show it in front of me. Also, since we entered the living room, we haven't spoken; we've only communicated with gestures or lip reading. But just now, when you loudly said you wanted to go upstairs with me, it struck me as odd. And when I opened the first room on the third floor, you seemed completely unfazed. Even your suggestion to search in the kitchen and bathroom was unexpected. Plus, your strange behavior earlier—if I couldn't figure it out now, I'd be a fool."
Chu Feifan continued to look at Su Jin'er with a nonchalant smile but remained silent.
So this is how Chu Feifan looks when he’s being carefree! Quite handsome! Su Jin'er thought to herself. If it were the real Chu Feifan, he would never show such a smile; he was always cautious and careful.
Seeing that he still wouldn't speak, Su Jin'er asked, "Where have you taken Chu Feifan?"
"Oh! You seem quite anxious; you must really care about him."
Su Jin'er remained silent and just stared at him.
"Although that guy looks decent enough, with such a beautiful woman standing in front of me, if I remain indifferent, that wouldn't seem very manly."
Chu Feifan displayed a lewd smile.
Su Jin'er frowned at him, "Just show your true self! Don't ruin the image of Chu Feifan in my heart; he would never make such a face."
"Ha! I think this is quite good. I can even let you see more of his expressions," he said as he slowly moved closer to Su Jin'er.
"I don't want to see!" Su Jin'er deliberately turned her face away from him.
"You might not want to see, but perhaps the real Chu Feifan would like to. You have no idea how amusing his expression was when he saw me just now. However, this guy really has some skills. If I hadn't been prepared, I might not have succeeded!" He continued to grin lewdly, making Su Jin'er feel nauseated.
"Stop disgusting me. Just tell me! What exactly is your purpose?" Su Jin'er said calmly, showing no sign of retreat or fear.
"Aren't you afraid that I might assault you?" The man looked at the composed Su Jin'er with some surprise.
"Saying I'm not afraid would be a lie, but is being afraid useful? Just state your purpose; why did you bring us here? And what's so strange about this place? Who lives here?"
Su Jin'er fired off several questions in succession. Although she was puzzled, she still felt that this place seemed more complicated than it appeared on the surface. However, she had no hope of getting answers from him; she was merely stalling for time.
"With so many questions at once, which one should I answer first?"
"You can answer them one by one; there's no rush."
"Hmph! Do you think I don't know what you're trying to do? You..." He suddenly seemed to remember something and frowned, "How did you know it was me who brought you here?"
"I didn't know! But now I do," Su Jin'er replied slyly. She truly hadn't known that this person was the one who led them here; she just wanted to test him and didn't expect him to admit it.
"You lied to me!" The man suddenly became furious, glaring at Su Jin'er as if he wanted to swallow her whole.
Su Jin'er shrank back slightly; she hadn't anticipated that this person would have such a temper. Her earlier words were merely a delay tactic, but now that she had angered him, she felt genuinely scared. She didn't know where he had locked Chu Feifan or if Linyuan had met Zuo Yi. If he really lost his temper, she would be in serious trouble.
"Hey! You're scared, aren't you? Still thinking about how to get your friends to rescue you?" He suddenly laughed, a chilling laugh.
Su Jin'er didn't respond. She thought about how Chu Feifan must still be in this building because even if this person had time to capture Chu Feifan, he wouldn't have time to take him away. She had only been upstairs for a few minutes, so he must have locked him up in the closest place to the living room.
Where could it be?
The large first floor was all living room and the kitchen they had just seen. Since they hadn't gone to the bathroom yet, she had no idea where it was.
"You guessed right; Chu Feifan is indeed locked in the bathroom. If what that thing says is true, then he can hear every word we're saying right now."
"Where is the bathroom?"
Su Jin'er looked around at the walls and saw no door. Could the bathroom be hidden within the walls?
"Don't rush; I haven't finished what I need to do!" He leered as he stepped closer to Su Jin'er.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
"I think you should know who I am by now, so I won't hide anything from you. You were right in your investigation; I am Zhang Jun, who disappeared three years ago. Zhang Junsheng is my twin brother. That fool was killed by someone, but it actually helped me out, and it helped you too, didn't it?" He looked at Su Jin'er with a knowing gaze.
"How did it help me?"
"Have you forgotten about Li Yiqian stealing your underwear for him? Ha! You really are forgetful!"
Su Jin'er felt confused. Only people from their dorm and Zhang Junsheng knew about that incident. How could he know? It couldn't have been Zhang Junsheng, but who could it be?
"Don't worry; that fool didn't tell me. Someone else did, but I won't tell you who." He seemed to see right through Su Jin'er's thoughts.
How could she forget about this? At that time, Li Yiqian did indeed steal her own underwear for Zhang Junsheng, and her explanation was that she wanted to investigate her sister's cause of death. Because of this, Su Jin'er felt uncomfortable but still forgave her. However, Chu Bufan claimed that Li Yiqian killed her sister, so what was the purpose of taking her own underwear? Or did Zhang Junsheng really know something, which led to Killer killing him?
"Haha! Are your thoughts all jumbled up now? The puzzle that was once solved seems to have become complicated again, leaving you confused about everything, right?" He squinted at Su Jin'er. "If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it. Just get a good night's sleep! When you wake up, everything will be over."
His voice began to fade away, and his figure started to blur. Her eyelids felt heavy, as if she were about to sleep. Su Jin'er leaned against the wall and slowly slid down. Then, she felt herself fall into someone's embrace. She wanted to open her eyes and see, but her eyelids felt as heavy as if they were pressed down by stones. She drifted off into a daze, still hearing that person's triumphant laughter in her ears.
Linyuan waited at the gap for Zuo Yi to arrive, and then they entered the gap together. However, when they reached the end of the gap, what they saw was different from what Su Jin'er had seen. They found another street instead of that strange villa. They looked at the crowds coming and going on the street, completely unaware of where to find Su Jin'er and Chu Feifan.
"Where could they have gone? Why is their phone not in service?" Linyuan dialed Su Jin'er's number repeatedly, but each time a pleasant voice responded that it was out of service. Right now, all she wanted was to hear Su Jin'er's voice; no matter how pleasant the voice was, it meant nothing to her.
Zuo Yi also dialed Chu Feifan's number repeatedly, but it too was out of service.
"Could something have happened to them?" Tears welled up in Linyuan's eyes.
"Maybe they've left the city and can't get a signal on their phones. So don't cry yet; we'll look for them slowly," Zuo Yi said gently as he looked at Linyuan with concern. This was the first time he had seen her cry; usually, she was carefree and seemed to not care about anything, always teasing others. Now seeing her tears caught him off guard.
"Can you not be anxious? If Jin'er is in trouble, I won't live either."
