548 Fu Sheng''s First Step


    The van was silent as if time had stopped. The man in the suit and Da Yu looked at Shen Luo to confirm they heard correctly.


    “Seven… wives?” The man in the suit asked again.


    “Yes.” Shen Luo nodded. “He’s a kind person and incredibly handsome. I believe he has a very high charm point. It’s why he’s so popr with thedies.”


    “There are unlimited ways to y Perfect Life. No wonder he’s so calm.” Da Yu started the van and looked at himself in the rearview mirror. “If I had seven wives, I won’t hurry to leave the hidden map either.”


    “No matter how high his charm, he won’t have seven wives. He probably has some kind of rare items or profession that can improve his charm.” The man in the suit said sourly.


    “Actually, I don’t know Han Fei that well. I am pursued by the locals, and he saved me.” Shen Luo felt the effect of the drugs fading away. “Big brother, how do I refer to you?”


    “Everyone calls me Boss. I’m one of Absolute Truth’s investors. The main reason I’m ying this game is to help my friends earn big money.” The man took out his phone to call Qiang Wei. “We’ve gained contact with Han Fei. He has a unique talent. We’ll talk in person.”


    Han Fei only turned back into thepany after the van left his view. “The yers can’t deal with ghosts, but they are clever. They should be good cannon fodder.” Han Fei was not afraid that Shen Luo might spill his secrets. After all, in Shen Luo’s mind, Han Fei relied on his female friends to survive. Han Fei didn’t mind for the other yers to have that misunderstanding. “They’ll know what I am really capable of when I find Big Sin.”


    Dying in the memory world didn’t equal actual death. The yers’ memory would be wiped, so Han Fei didn’t worry too much.


    Han Fei wanted to continue his work at the office, but he received a surprise call from the police. Teacher Liu didn’t lie to the police. She admitted that it was Han Fei who helped her. The police wanted to ask Han Fei some questions, so they hoped he’de to the school. Han Fei wished to reject it but considering his Good Samaritan title. He ultimately chose to cooperate with the police. Han Fei called a cab and left after calling Zhao Qian to leave early.


    Once Han Fei arrived at the school, he was stopped by the guards. Han Fei was quite famous now. On his first visit to the school and he beat up the headmaster. Who wouldn’t be afraid of him? “Fu Sheng’s father, the headmaster, told us specifically that you can’t enter the school.” The two guards blocked Han Fei.


    “The old man has already been arrested. Why are you still abiding by his orders? Or you were there when he buried the dead body?” Han Fei’s single sentence caused the guards’ faces to pale. “Don’t worry. It was the police who called me here.”


    Han Fei walked past the guards and headed to the admin building. He soon heard Teacher Liu’s crying. He knocked on the door and entered the office for the year one high school staff. Teacher Liu was crying heavily. A female officer and two female teachers were consoling her.


    Since she was young, Teacher Liu was bullied because of her father. Many people said horrible things to her. The truth was finally revealed that day, but it came with a hefty price. She thought her father escaped to another city alone because he couldn’t stand the public pressure. She believed her father was still alive. She came back here to teach because she wanted to use her power to wipe away her father’s stain. She hoped that one day she’d see her father again. However, all her dreams shattered the moment the soil was dug through. Teacher Liu did see her father, the man who insisted on doing everything right.


    The officer signaled for Han Fei to enter the room next door. They asked Han Fei many questions. Dealing with the police was as easy as ABC for Han Fei. On the way there, he practiced many questions in his mind. His answer was wless. When Han Fei left the questioning room, the two officers were impressed.


    Han Fei studied the emotionally unstable Teacher Liu and decided not to stay. He thought back to the chat history between Fu Yi and Teacher Liu. He turned to leave. About ten minutester, Han Fei returned to the office. He bought Teacher Liu’s favorite food at the convenience store and ced them at the office corner. Then he left.


    ‘Every woman is wonderfully perfect. Fu Yi, you deserve to die.’


    Han Fei wandered along the school corridor. Fu Sheng’s hatred towards him lowered. If possible, Han Fei hoped that Fu Sheng would return to school. The headmaster was arrested, and the parent who bullied him was now a fugitive. No one would target Fu Sheng at school anymore. ‘He’ll see these good changes if hees back to school.’


    Han Fei came to Fu Sheng’s former ss to ensure that Fu Sheng wouldn’t be bullied again. A bespectacled male teacher was teaching math. He only paid attention to the two rows of students in front. He didn’t care about the rest. Han Fei politely waited for the teacher to finish before entering the ssroom. “Good afternoon, teacher. I have something to ask you.”


    “And you are?”


    “I’m Fu Sheng’s father.”


    As Han Fei said that, the math teacher’s face changed. He was annoyed and impatient. “I have to prepare for my next ss. I have no time.”


    “Five minutes. I only want to know who has bullied Fu Sheng because I want to talk to them. I hope they will treat Fu Sheng better if he chooses toe back to school.” Han Fei said politely.


    “Come back? I don’t think he should. Students like him will be more efficient studying on their own.”


    “Humans are social animals. I hope he can have a simr childhood memory as the other children.” Han Fei gave off a presence of a very kind person.


    “He was not bullied. He was too strange. I’ll be honest with you. Even if hees back to ss, he’ll sit at the corner alone and makes the ss feel ufortable.” The teacher picked up his things and prepared to leave, but Han Fei blocked him.


    “In that case, shouldn’t a teacher try to help them? How can they give up just like that?” Han Fei was still very polite.


    “Help them?” The teacher sneered. “Some students can be helped but not all.”


    “People can change. I believe Fu Sheng is capable of change too.” Han Fei said sincerely.


    “What’s the point?” The teacher hated Fu Sheng for some reason. “Even if I buy a new cover for the trash can, it is still a trash can. No one will want to sit beside the trash can.”


    “But people will still buy trash cans. It is really the trash inside the cans that is hated.” Han Fei was getting angrier. “Sometimes, the dirty stuff is not the trash can but its environment.”


    “What do you mean by that?” The math teacher mmed the book on the podium. He raised his voice. He felt insulted.


    “I was talking nicely to you, but you kept on being sarcastic to me.” Han Fei’s eyes chilled. His gaze was like a knife as he stared at the teacher’s neck. “Yesterday, I beat up your headmaster. Nothing happened to me, but your headmaster was arrested.”


    The math teacher finally realized the severity of the situation. He staggered back until his body stuck to the ckboard. “Th-this is the school. A ce for education. Do you think I’ll be afraid of you?”


    “I don’t need you to be afraid of me. I need you to treat your students evenly, including Fu Sheng.” Han Fei noticed the teacher’s wobbly legs. He ignored him and walked past him. He stopped before a table.


    The table was upied by the fatty who bullied Fu Sheng. He was no longer that arrogant. His body shivered. He probably hadn’t gotten used to the change to his identity. Yesterday, he was a rich young master, but today, he was the son of a fugitive. His good friends all left him.


    “In the past, you ostracized and bullied Fu Sheng. Now, you know how he felt?” Han Fei sat before the fatty, but his eyes scanned everyone in the ss. Han Fei remembered every face which had bullied Fu Sheng. “You all are still children. I don’t think you’ll understand empathy even if I spend the whole day exining it. I only need you to remember one thing. One day, you might be the person who is isted and bullied. Hopefully, someone will help you on that day.” Han Fei wanted to educate the students further to help Fu Sheng ease his way back to school, but he realized it wouldn’t be necessary.


    He stood up and left. As he exited the door, he heard the system notification. “Notification for yer 0000! Liu Lina’s hatred towards you lowers by 1. The umted decrease is 6.”


    Han Fei turned his head to look. Teacher Liu was standing at one of the back windows. She was alone, holding the stuff Han Fei had bought for her.


    “I’m sorry.” Han Fei nodded apologetically and left.


    Han Fei took a cab home. When he arrived, he saw his wife haggling with a roadside vendor. He got down the cab and sidled over. “Are we making C Chicken Wings today?”


    Han Fei startled his wife, who was picking the ingredients. She turned around, and her eyes were round with shock. “Normally, you return sote. Howe you’ve beening home earlier and earlier? It’s not even 5.30 pm yet.”


    “I want to spend more time with my family.” Han Fei took the bags from his wife. He had a blissful smile.


    “That doesn’t mean you can skip work.” His wife studied Han Fei and then reached out to clean the dust on his cor. “Did you run into some problems at work? Don’t push yourself. If you’re tired, then rest.”


    “I’m not tired.” Han Fei remembered he removed his jacket that morning for the cover shot. The dust probably stuck to his cor then. “Come on, let’s go home. Today, I’ll make C Chicken Wings and fried chicken. Fu Tian will be so happy.”


    “You should rest. I’ll cook.” His wife’s expression softened. The hatred in her eyes was slowly reced by confusion.


    “No way, I still need to show off my cooking skills.” Han Fei nned to cook more often. He didn’t have much time left. He wanted to make more memories with his family in the limited time left. The couple reached home. After Han Fei changed, he joined his wife in the kitchen. Han Fei was busy prepping the ingredients when his phone rang. Compared to Han Fei, his wife reacted more violently. Her hands trembled. She experienced this many times before. Fu Yi would receive calls to go back for ‘OT’ for no reason.


    “Phone, phone.” Fu Tian was a cute kid. He grabbed Han Fei’s phone and ran into the kitchen. Seeing this, the wife’s expression changed. Fu Yi disliked others touching his phone. He used to scold his wife because of this.


    “I’m cleaning the meat. Help me answer it.” Han Fei said without even moving his head from the meat. The wife cleaned her hands uncertainly and answered the call. “Hello.”


    “We’re reporters from Old Street News. We wish to interview Mr. Fu Yi for his heroic actions.” Hearing the voice, the wife’s heart settled, and she sighed.


    Han Fei wiped away his cold sweat silently, but his heart was still pounding. “Who is it?”


    “It’s the reporter.” After a short silence, the wife held the phone and ced it beside Han Fei’s ear.


    “Hello, Mr. Fu Yi. We wish to interview you.”


    “It’s toote today. I need to apany my family. Can you interview me at thepany tomorrow?” Han Fei then had his wife hang up the phone. “That means I’ll have to get on the television again. So annoying.”


    “Daddy is going on the television again?” Fu Tian was so excited. In his mind, his father was the most impressive man.


    “There’s no need to shout.” Han Fei cooked his best recipes. Fu Tian raced around with excitement. The wife saw this, and her eyes softened. She didn’t ask for much, just simple happiness.


    Half an hourter, the delicious smell wafted around the room. Han Fei served the dishes. Fu Tian couldn’t wait anymore. He jumped on his seat, and the wife prepared the rice. After all three of them were seated, Han Fei nced up the second floor. He took a deep breath. He epted the tray from his wife. He ced the dishes he cooked on the tray and then moved up the stairs.


    Han Fei knocked on the door and ced the tray before the door like usual. However, as he prepared to leave, the doorknob of Fu Sheng’s room suddenly turned.
