Chapter 52: Chapter 52: The Murderer Reappears!

"Oh, so he only ranked third... wait, what did you say, Mengyun? Zhu Fei’s score from this mock exam, he actually ranked third in the entire school? How is that possible?"

Pan Tingting’s face went from initial realization to instant shock, mirroring Tang Mengyun right before her.

She swiftly turned her head, her beautiful eyes staring intently at the results bulletin board in front of her.

"Hiss—"

Pan Tingting sharply inhaled a breath of cold air.

Indeed, there on the results bulletin board, in the third position, was Zhu Fei’s name written in bold characters!

She could never have imagined that Zhu Fei’s ranking in this mock exam would be so unbelievably high, skyrocketing straight to third in the whole school.

In an instant, two pairs of doubtful eyes immediately turned towards Zhu Fei.

"Zhu Fei, come clean, how on earth did you manage to get third place in the whole school? You didn’t cheat, did you?"

Pan Tingting couldn’t contain her impatience and was the first to blurt out the question.

After all, she knew a bit about Zhu Fei’s other identity and was aware that he had many abilities normal people did not possess.

If Zhu Fei had used those abilities to cheat, it wasn’t completely impossible.

Tang Mengyun reacted almost identically at that moment.

Even though she didn’t say anything out loud, the suspicion was clear in her eyes.

Seeing the doubts from the two girls, Zhu Fei felt somewhat helpless inside.

All he could do was give a wry smile and say, "Ladies, can’t you have a little faith in me?"

However, as soon as Zhu Fei said this, he immediately felt like "coughing up blood" because both girls actually shook their heads at the same time.

This left Zhu Fei speechless, and he could only explain again:

"Think about it, with the situation I was in back then, even if I wanted to cheat, I would need someone to cheat off of, right?"

Looking at Pan Tingting, he continued, "Pan Tingting, you were sitting right in front of me at the time. Tell me, given the time I submitted my test, who could I have cheated from? And who could have allowed me to cheat?"

As Zhu Fei finished speaking, both Pan Tingting and Tang Mengyun were momentarily stunned.

Right, the time Zhu Fei submitted his paper was exceedingly early.

Given when he turned in his paper, it was likely that everyone else had only finished less than half of theirs. Where then, was the opportunity for Zhu Fei to cheat?

It couldn’t possibly be said that Zhu Fei managed to score third in the entire school based solely on others having completed less than half of their test? That would be way too absurd.

Thinking this through, the skeptical look in the girls’ eyes gradually faded.

But having realized this, they were even more shocked by Zhu Fei’s current score.

How did he manage to achieve such impressive results in such a short time? Could it be that his academic ability had really reached such a strong level?

As for this point, the two girls thought long and hard but simply could not understand, so they eventually let it go.

...

Later that afternoon, when Cai Feng announced the mock exam results to all the students of Senior Year Class One,

the majority of the students in attendance were dumbstruck upon hearing Zhu Fei’s outlandish score, their faces full of utter disbelief.

They all believed that Zhu Fei’s exam results this time had to be the result of cheating; there was no second possibility.

Indeed, even Tang Mengyun and Pan Tingting, who knew Zhu Fei best, found his exam results incredibly hard to believe, let alone everyone else.

Zhu Fei, however, couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to the doubts of others anymore, nor did he deign to explain anything.

On the contrary, his headteacher Cai Feng, displayed a remarkable trust in Zhu Fei’s exam results.

As he defended Zhu Fei, he also encouraged the students present to learn from him, his words full of nothing but praise for Zhu Fei.

A sly old fox like Cai Feng was naturally no fool.

He knew Zhu Fei had an extraordinary background and was well aware of his close relationship with Director Gu of the Education Bureau.

Hadn’t he seen how their principal, Li Wei, always treated Zhu Fei with a pleasant demeanor? How could he, Cai Feng, dare to be critical of Zhu Fei?

Besides, with Zhu Fei achieving such excellent results, as Zhu Fei’s headteacher, Cai Feng had his own reasons to be proud, didn’t he?

As for any cheating Zhu Fei might have done previously, it was no longer something Cai Feng needed to concern himself with.

...

The school afternoon quickly passed, and when Zhu Fei walked out of the gate with Tang Mengyun and the other girl,

the cellphone Zhu Fei was carrying suddenly rang at that moment.

He took out his phone, glanced at it, and saw that it was Qiu Ruoxue calling him. Without any hesitation, he immediately answered the call.

"Zhu Fei, come quickly, the murderer seems to have appeared again."

As soon as the call connected, Qiu Ruoxue’s voice came through.

The tone in which Qiu Ruoxue spoke was serious and seemed to carry a tinge of urgency.

This made Zhu Fei immediately take the matter very seriously, and he quickly asked in a grave tone, "What exactly happened? Don’t be anxious, take your time and tell me."

Hearing Zhu Fei’s steady voice, Qiu Ruoxue on the other end seemed to gradually calm down.

She spoke seriously, "Just a short while ago, I received a report stating that yet another murder occurred close to your Lan City No.1 High School, with the method of killing extremely similar to that of the culprit’s."

After a slight pause, Qiu Ruoxue continued, "Also, based on our assessment at the scene, we believe the ’psychotic’ murderer will likely head in the direction of your Lan City No.1 High School next."

"Zhu Fei, you need to be careful. I’m already near your Lan City No.1 High School..."

"Bang, bang, bang...!"

All of a sudden, a series of intense gunshots were heard on Zhu Fei’s end of the phone.

"Not good! Zhu Fei! The murderer has appeared...!"

Before Zhu Fei could ask any more questions, Qiu Ruoxue suddenly hung up the phone.

Zhu Fei’s expression changed instantly!

Because he could already vaguely sense that from some place afar, a faint killing intent was emanating.

Without any hesitation, he quickly took a few steps forward and instantly reached Tang Mengyun and the other girl’s side, whispering to Pan Tingting:

"Pan Tingting, he’s appeared. I don’t care how you do it, but take Mengyun back to the school immediately. Remember, do not leave the school until I send you a message, understood?"

After speaking, Zhu Fei didn’t wait for the two girls to respond; his figure flashed, and in the blink of an eye, he had already disappeared from their sight.
