Chapter 91.2



At this very moment, he was suddenly struck.

Shi An remembered the black ore that Shi Rui secretly placed in his room while unconscious in the Shi family’s main residence.

Back then, Shi An didn’t think much about it. After all, although this kind of ore was considered rare on the continent, it wasn’t valuable.

But this time, connected with the abyssal rift opened by men in the Ability Academy and that group of strange humans with the crazy talk to “let him regain his strength to destroy the world,” Shi An began suspecting…

Could it be that Shi Rui and the people who stole his treasure have a connection?

Thinking of his own stolen and wasted treasures that were freely abused, Shi An felt intense anger begin to rise in his heart, suppressing all emotions.

He took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, saying, “Let’s go. We will go out for a trip.”

“Eh? Right now?”

The demon insect froze and asked in confusion, “Go to where?”

Shi An slowly revealed a harmless smile.

“To settle an account.”

Upon being called to the Bureau for the second time, Shi Rui was ready.

Looking at the tan-skinned, sharp-eyed Wen Yao before him, Shi Rui took a deep breath and pulled out the pitch-black communicator from his pocket before the other party opened his mouth to speak, placing it on the table.

This time, it was Wen Yao’s turn to be slightly stunned.

Immediately afterward, Shi Rui told Wen Yao about his “experience” with a miserable look.

In his story, he became a poor victim of deception and deceit. The other side tempted him with boundless glory and benefits, leading him astray little by little and making him think that the other side was a savior with good intentions. Under his delusion, he handed over his pass to enter the school and informed the loopholes within the Ability Academy.

However, after seeing the appearance of the abyssal rift and hearing about the death of the principal, Shi Rui then finally sobered up.

He was immensely remorseful but terrified, not only of his actions but also of his family’s safety.

But after a long struggle, the good side finally overcame his cowardly instincts.

At the end of the day, Shi Rui was still determined to stand up and do the right thing.

That was why he came to the Bureau and told the whole story.

In the end, Shi Rui said in tears, “I am willing to pay the price for my actions, but… but, I’m begging you. Please help me. Don’t let those people harm my family. I have never experienced family love since I was little and they’re my everything now…”

Wen Yao lowered her eyes and did not speak for a long time.

She took a deep breath, raised her hand to pick up the communicator on the table, and said, “Wait here.”

Shi Rui nodded with tears in his eyes.

Wen Yao turned around and left the questioning room.

Outside the door, the silver-haired, blue-eyed man stood in front of a vast one-sided mirror, his cold, ice-like eyes narrowed slightly, gazing thoughtfully at Shi Rui in the questioning room.

Wen Yao said, “Sir, what do you think?”

Mu Heng withdrew his gaze and indifferently said, “He’s not telling the truth.”

It was not precisely the truth.

“Then…” Wen Yao spoke tentatively.

Mu Heng said, “Don’t touch him yet.”

He looked at the black communicator in Wen Yao’s hand and said, “Give it to Zhuo Fu. Let’s see if he can think of a way to find any clues or locations.”

Wen Yao exclaimed, “Yes!”

Shi Rui was released from the Bureau.

Although his face was still sad and burdened, his heart was relaxed like never before.

He grew up susceptible to other people’s emotions and attitudes. After being questioned by Wen Yao that day, Shi Rui immediately realized that he had screwed.

Once he was suspected, he might not be able to hide the fact that he had snuck people into the Ability Academy any longer.

At first, Shi Rui had hoped that the group there would be able to rescue him, but it was clear that the mysterious power there had abandoned him.

So, after thinking about it for a long time, Shi Rui finally made up his mind.

Instead of being treated as an outcast, he might as well take the initiative to cooperate and lower the suspicion on himself first.

Although this move was risky, if he could do a good job, he might be able to get out of it.

Now it seemed that he was still very wise.

Looking at the sinking sunset before him, Shi Rui slowly exhaled, feeling a rare relief for the first time.

Due to the accident at the Ability Academy, the academy had not yet opened, so the students had temporarily returned to their homes. Shi Rui had also returned home to live in the Shi family’s main residence.

By the time Shi Rui returned home, it was already completely dark.

He walked into the house, but the butler and maid did not come up to greet him.

Shi Rui frowned, his expression slightly sunken.

Due to the experience of being neglected and despised since childhood, he was particularly sensitive in this regard and the negligence of these servants made him feel greatly upset.

However, he had just returned from the Bureau and should keep a low profile now instead of letting some strange whispers mess up his plans.

Shi Rui closed his eyes and suppressed the dark fire rising in his heart.

He walked toward his room upstairs.

The corridor was long and the carpet underfoot was thick and soft, absorbing all the sound of footsteps.

Shi Rui felt significant fatigue coming like a tidal wave.

The whole day’s ordeal had strained his spirit, and he desperately needed sleep and rest.
