Chapter 34: Chapter 34: Escaping Suspicion (Thanks for the rewards from Yimeng Futo, and Reader 201705...)

Yanyun Secondary School Hospital, inside a ward.

Xiao Nan, in a daze, opened her eyes to see Li Changhe sitting on a chair beside her bed. He was wearing a white robe and a pair of glasses which he managed to get from who-knows-where.

He said solemnly to Xiao Nan, "We tried our best, kid... we couldn’t save them..."

God’s child! What the hell were you saying to a young girl?

Yun Ting was madly venting his thoughts in his mind, suspecting whether he was attached to a fool. Can he switch now while there’s still time?

The [Player]s from [Great Wall] who were secretly protecting Xiao Nan near the ward were also speechless. Even from outside the room, they could hear Li Changhe’s gibberish.

Because from the information they had, this young man named Li Changhe was Xiao Nan’s friend. That’s why they let him in without making a sound. Otherwise, they would have driven him away through suggestive means long time ago.

Incidentally, they wanted to try and find out whether Li Changhe was a [Player] or not.

Unexpectedly, this was the first thing that came out of Li Changhe’s mouth.

In the next room, Yang Dong raised an eyebrow and asked, "Have you detected any [Player] abilities from Li Changhe?"

Someone replied, "Three sensors are closely monitoring him. So far, nothing has been discovered. Actually, without using [Backpack], [Skills], [Traits] and other such things, it’s difficult to detect whether someone is a [Player] or not... Should we be more direct, like a blood test?"

"On what basis? If he is not a player, isn’t it a full-service suggestive hypnotism service?" Yang Dong smirked, "He’s Xiao Nan’s childhood friend. Regardless of whether he is a player or not, what will Xiao Nan think if we do this to him?"

"So, just drop it? From our investigation, he seems to have a good relationship with Xiao Nan. If he turns out to be a [Player], it’s possible that he was the one who saved Xiao Nan from [Unseen Red Dust]."

"He was wandering around the school celebration site at that time, so he has an alibi," someone murmured quietly. As expected, [Great Wall] was suspecting Li Changhe.

After all, his height is similar to that of [Uncle Eight-direction], he is Xiao Nan’s friend, and he supposedly has always been protecting Xiao Nan from a young age. He was a major target of [Great Wall]’s investigation.

"That can be fabricated. Knowing a little psychology is enough... His route back home goes through the Yanyun Bridge. Maybe he encountered the harpy on his way home, then got the identity of a [Player]". A woman said, "I think it’s advisable to investigate it. Each uncontrollable [Player] is a source of instability for society."

"I understand, I’ve already spoken to Xiao Nan through [Friends]." Yang Dong casually responded, "If it is him, we won’t lose out. If it’s not him, he won’t find out."

Meanwhile, in the next ward.

In Xiao Nan’s mind, the word [Friends] flashed. Yang Dong had recounted the general situation and the current plan.

After being silent for a moment, Xiao Nan, ignoring Li Changhe’s joke, lounged comfortably on the bed and said, "There will be children in the future. Don’t lose heart."

Seeing that Xiao Nan could continue the joke, Li Changhe regretfully shook his head, took off the white robe and his glasses. He smiled and said, "The art gallery was bombed. Something about a warehouse catching fire accidentally. I’ve heard that people were killed, a lot of students including you got injured. The school wants a fire safety inspection now. They’re giving an early long break. How are you feeling?"

"I’m just a little dizzy. Don’t worry." Xiao Nan chuckled, "Fortunately, you didn’t make it there. I didn’t think I would encounter such a thing."

At this time, Xiao Nan suddenly reached out and lifted Li Changhe’s bangs. Li Changhe was startled.

The members of [Great Wall] outside the room shivered, "Oh shit! Is she directly pulling out his hair?"

"Even though comparing the DNA from his hair to that on the dog-head mask would tell us whether or not he was a [Player], isn’t this too direct?"

"Could she not just have taken some blood, isn’t that easier? Surely it’s not that difficult to get a freakin hair sample if she doesn’t understand subtlety? If push comes to shove, just go for Li Changhe’s medical history. I refuse to believe he hasn’t had blood drawn before!"

Yang Dong shook his head and said, "Look at what you’re saying, Xiao Nan is a lot smarter than you bunch of dummies. She must have her own idea."

Inside the ward, Xiao Nan stared blankly at the black hair clip that was hidden under Li Changhe’s bangs.

"Goudan... all these years I’ve known you and I never knew you... had this kind of interest." She joked softly.

Li Changhe secretly felt bitter. Turns out Brother Ting you screwed me over. Li Changhe’s image that he had been building for years, collapsed overnight... although it’s true that he never really had an image in Xiao Nan’s eyes to begin with.

"Stop fooling around, I don’t have such an interest," Li Changhe replied with a faint smile.

Xiao Nan also withdrew her hand. In that moment, she had already used one of her [Skills], plucked a few strands of hair without Li Changhe noticing at all.

What she didn’t know was that Yun Ting had quietly warned Li Changhe the moment she was about to do it. The plan had already succeeded! Take the hair, it definitely won’t match the one on the dog-head mask.

Li Changhe had left the dog-head mask there to distract everyone. The hair on it was from earth knight, which Yun Ting had plucked off surreptitiously while rescuing him.

They wouldn’t be able to connect it to him in any case. If they wanted to play games with Li Changhe, they should think twice about it.

Li Changhe was quietly laughing inside. As long as Xiao Nan herself doesn’t suspect... or, more accurately, doesn’t expose him, he will be safe.

Without raising suspicion, Xiao Nan put the hairs she had gathered somewhere safe. Then she heard Li Changhe say in a playful tone, "My girlfriend said we would break up if I didn’t wear it. I didn’t have a choice. It was all her fault."

"Girlfriend?" Xiao Nan was taken aback, broke into laughter saying, "Finally, have you gone mad? Have you been under too much pressure recently Goudan? Where did you get a... "

Seeing the pride on Li Changhe’s face, he didn’t seem to be joking. Xiao Nan frowned, her laughter gradually fading, as she muttered, "This is too disheartening, you didn’t even tell me. So that I could get to know her."

The temperature around them cooled for a moment...

In her mind, Yun Ting let out a gleeful laugh "Hahaha hic"

"I’ll introduce you when I get the chance." Li Changhe’s mouth twitched, he hadn’t prepared a good excuse initially. Now he couldn’t change his story or else he would be exposed.

He hoped to himself that [Great Wall] would carry out the genetic testing on his hair and conclude the investigation. Whatever it was, they definitely couldn’t go about investigating his ’girlfriend’, or else he wouldn’t be able to cover it up.

Seeing Xiao Nan looking tired, Li Changhe stood up to leave.

Meanwhile, in the next room, a member of [Great Wall] whispered, "It seems she’s gotten his hair. In a while, we can confirm whether Li Changhe is a [Player] by testing those."

"Xiao Nan’s acting skills are impressive, no wonder she’s known as a talented woman."

"That tired look at the end, she acted it out really well."

Yang Dong softly shook his head, "I guess it wasn’t acting after all, the temperature of the surroundings... Forget it! Don’t think about their emotional problems. Go get it tested."

Inside the ward, Xiao Nan was still holding Li Changhe’s strands of hair in her hand.

She knew very well whether Li Changhe was a [Player] or not. The two know each other too well. But, what she was worried about right now was not that.

With a tired expression, she fell into silence for a long while. Then mumbled, "Tsk, how careless."
