However, Chen Xing still overestimated his own strength and underestimated the madness of the third prince Silver Claw.
At noon the next day, when he came to the Ice and Snow Lake excitedly to enjoy the dedication ceremony, he was greeted by the reception teacher who burst into tears.
"Yao Yao, something happened to her..."
It took him a while to understand the whole story from the other party's intermittent words.
Traditionally, the night before the dedication, the maid of honor could return home to reunite with her family and say their final goodbyes.
But on the way back to the academy from home, Lin Shuyao suddenly disappeared, as if she had disappeared from the world. The mutilated body was not discovered until ten o'clock in the morning. Put it in a black plastic bag and throw it in the garbage station on the street.
"Who did it?"
Although the murderer was ready to be revealed, Chen Xing still wanted to confirm it.
"No, I don't know..." the receptionist shook his head.
"What!" Chen Xing was shocked. This is the capital of the kingdom. The clear network signal coverage area is a place where even swearing can be monitored. How could he not know this.
The receptionist gritted his teeth and said, "We can all guess who it is, but there is no evidence. These people are very skilled. It is not difficult to kidnap someone without concealing it from the system."
"Where's the holographic surveillance video?" Chen Xing asked. Everything that happens within the clear network signal range will be recorded, even if a coin rolls down the sewer.
"The great nobles are protected by the system, and only the Kingdom Council has the authority to call them, but they will never offend Marquis Haitang for being a baron's maid."
Chen Xing felt cold sweat break out on his forehead. It seemed that these 100,000 gold coins were going to teach him a lesson.
Later, he was led by the receptionist to a hospital near the college. Although the dedication ceremony has not yet been held, and he has never even met, Lin Shuyao is already considered his, and he cannot shirk the aftermath.
"Oh, oh, oh, my good daughter, my sweetheart..."
As soon as I stepped into the morgue, I heard a woman wailing.
Following the sound, a middle-aged woman was lying on the body covered with white cloth, crying her heart out. Behind the woman stood two children, a boy and a girl, in their teens, sobbing silently. They should be Lin Shuyao's family.
Seeing such a scene, Chen Xing's heart tightened and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
I have mixed feelings in my heart. Is it his fault? If he doesn't fight...
No, it's not his fault!
He quickly convinced himself that Wei Qinghai had killed five maids, and even if he didn't participate, Lin Shuyao's fate would be the same. If you want to blame, you can only blame her for being unlucky and encountering this evil star.
"My lord, my lord!"
Seeing Chen Xing, the woman seemed to have found a life-saving straw. She knelt on the ground and crawled over, hugging Chen Xing's legs and crying, "Sir, Shuyao is still so young, so well-behaved, and so obedient. I haven't taken a good look yet." In this world, there are so many tragic deaths, you must seek justice for her!"
Facing the woman's plea, Chen Xing was helpless and angry. This time it was really a waste of money. I lost my wife and lost my troops. How could he, a little baron, have the ability to fight against a duke and a prince? Wouldn't this make him fling his eggs against a rock?
"Your condolences, sir, I will definitely find a way." The receptionist came forward to persuade and pulled the woman away.
"Sir, she is your maid. Violating her is tantamount to violating you. You can't let her die miserably in vain!" "Brother, please, seek justice for my sister." "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu My sister deserves to die. It’s so miserable.”
"I, I will try my best..." Chen Xing said awkwardly. He is now a clay Buddha crossing the river - he cannot protect himself, let alone seek justice, and it is hard to say whether he will be targeted.
"I promise you in the name of the maid god Jieluoluer that the college will never sit idly by and ignore it. Those who killed Yaoyao will definitely pay the price..." The receptionist pulled the woman away, and Chen Xing was able to breathe and left. Morgue.
The receptionist comforted her for a while, and the crying gradually became smaller.
"Lord Baron, please take a step to speak." The receptionist came out and said. The two walked aside, and the receptionist glanced at the door of the morgue. After making sure the distance was far enough, he whispered, "Dean Catherine wants to see you."
"See me?" Chen Xing asked warily. He knew the college's attitude toward Wei Qinghai and could guess his intentions, but he didn't want to be used as a gunman for others, not to mention that his gun wasn't very thick. His brain was not broken when he went against the prince for a maid he had never met. Although it is really humiliating, how can everything go as planned in life? Some losses must be eaten no matter how unpalatable they are, and some anger must be swallowed no matter how uncomfortable they are.
"It's just a meeting, please don't worry, we won't make it too difficult for you," the receptionist said.
"Is it difficult for me?" After hearing this, Chen Xing became a little unhappy and his face turned pale. Strictly speaking, the dedication ceremony has not yet been completed, and the college should be solely responsible for Lin Shuyao's safety. But facing the girl who died tragically, he couldn't say such shameless words.
But when he was moral, the other party pushed him all the way, which was a bit intriguing. The implication is that it was all his fault and he should be held responsible to the end. Although he didn't want to shirk, he was not a fool and would let others take advantage of him.
He has already admitted defeat. The loss of one hundred thousand gold coins will be regarded as compensation for Lin Shuyao's family for the rest of his life. What else do you want from him? Did he really want to risk his life to fight with Wei Qinghai and ignore the entire Orchid Town team?
As if seeing Chen Xing's concerns, the receptionist bowed and said, "You misunderstood. The main responsibility for this matter lies with us. It's not your fault, but..." He paused, "You also made ten mistakes. Ten thousand gold coins, this is not a small amount, for the sake of the reputation of the academy, we cannot let you suffer excessive losses."
In other words, she wanted to accompany him as a maid. Chen Xing couldn't shirk it when he thought about it. After all, the other party just asked to meet, so he couldn't even dare to meet. This was too futile.
After a while, the two left the hospital, returned to the teaching building of the Maid Academy, and took the elevator to the principal's office on the top floor.
The principal's office is extremely spacious, occupying more than half of the floor. There are display cabinets around it filled with various trophies, certificates, banners and medals.
Dean Catherine is a middle-aged woman with a calm temperament and dignified appearance. She wears a dark red dress, gold-rimmed glasses, and curly chestnut hair. She has the aura of a British female teacher on earth.
Judging from the purple orchid medal pinned on her chest, Catherine holds the title of Honorary Countess.
"Nice to meet you, Baron Chen Xing." Catherine left the desk and extended her hand to Chen Xing generously.
I have to say that Catherine has a very good temperament. The crow's feet at the corners of her eyes not only do not look old, but add a mature charm.
"Nice to meet you, nice to meet you." Chen Xing held Catherine's hand, which was warm, soft and very comfortable. But he didn't have Qinian in his heart. After all, the other party looked to be in his fifties.
"I feel very sorry that such a thing happened. Failure to protect the students is our unshirkable responsibility. On behalf of all the teachers at the Royal Maid Academy, I would like to express my deepest apology to you." After saying that, Catherine bowed deeply to Chen Xing Bowed.
Chen Xing was a little flattered. The more polite the other party was, the more intent he had. This is to put him, the little baron, on the fire.
"Well, if I had known earlier that my competitor was a prince, I wouldn't have fought." Chen Xing sighed.
"This is already the sixth victim. Even if you don't fight, her fate will still be the same. You don't need to blame yourself." Catherine said.
Chen Xing didn't answer, so he acquiesced to Catherine's statement. What can he do? The other party is a duke and prince, and he is a little baron. What else can he do? He must have pushed as hard as he could and dodged far away.
"For the sake of the reputation of the college, we have decided to compensate you for your losses." Catherine announced, "We will arrange another maid for you to complete today's dedication ceremony." Before Chen Xing could react, she clapped her hands.
"Click..."
The door opened, and a sharp figure walked in. Walking in the wind, with a heroic posture, the high heels hit the floor hard, making a crisp sound.
See the moon and Canglian!
I saw her walking straight in front of Chen Xing, standing still, holding a sheathed sword in her hand, and bowed, "Master!"
The movements are clean and neat, and meticulous.
Chen Xing was stunned for a while, and his brows gradually wrinkled. It is true that Jian Yue Canglian is very outstanding, the pride of the academy, the most outstanding leader in the past twenty years, surrounded by countless halos and loved by thousands of people, but it is not worth risking his life.
In terms of appearance alone, it was not surprising to him that Jian Yue Cang Lian was not as good as Ye Yang Bai Liu and was only comparable to Ye Yang Qing Yan. Of course, every flower has its own beauty. Jian Yue Canglian is tall, slender, clean and sharp, and has a completely different flavor from other women.
But this does not mean that she is worth risking Chen Xing's life.
To take a step back, if your life is gone, why do you want sex? It’s not like my own wife and daughter, who have deep feelings and are irreplaceable.
"Please forgive me..." Chen Xing was about to refuse, but Catherine winked at the receptionist first. The latter quickly stepped forward, took out a letter from his underwear pocket, and handed it to Chen Xing with both hands.
The light cyan envelope had a faint fragrance. Chen Xing raised his head and glanced at the receptionist in confusion.
"This is what Lin Shuyao wrote before leaving the college yesterday..." The receptionist raised his head and looked at the ceiling, "To her future master."
Opening the envelope, the letter paper was white and flawless, and the handwriting was beautiful and neat.
"Master, there is something I must apologize to you for."
"I feel extremely ashamed of this, but you are my master and I must confess to you, even if I am so ashamed at this moment that I want to hide under the bed."
"Although you did not arrange a meeting before the graduation ceremony, I begged the teacher to let me take a sneak peek at you from a distance."
"You know, when I see you, my heart beats like a deer inside."
"Maybe you think I'm a nymphomaniac, well, in front of you, I'm just a silly nymphomaniac."
"You look so handsome sitting in the afternoon sun, drinking black tea."
"I was thinking about what kind of person you are, what kind of life you live, and what kind of stories you have in your past. They said that you are a mercenary warrior who relied on your own ability. I just thought, Your heroic appearance on the battlefield was as charming as it is now..."
"I want to know everything about you."
"Shu Yao is a stupid girl. She came to school stupidly and was chosen by her master stupidly."
"But Shuyao promises you that she will take good care of her master. She will read poems to her in spring, wipe her back in summer, pick fruits for her in autumn, warm her bed in winter, and prepare delicious nutritious breakfast for her every day..."
Suddenly, Chen Xing's eyes seemed to penetrate the glass of the Crystal Palace and saw that sunny smile.
Suddenly there was a "click" sound, the glass cracked, and the cracks spread like spider webs. A girl's aspirations and dreams were shattered.
Chen Xing put away the letter and sat down on the sofa.
"Tell me, what should I do?"
Catherine and the receptionist looked at each other and smiled happily.
Chen Xing knew that he might be used as a weapon.
But as a man, there are some things you can back off from, and some you can't. Even in the face of certain death, wild beasts and even ancient demon gods, he must stand there and launch the final charge.
The faith is there, the people are there!
Faith dies, people die!
The soul is like a lamp, and the lamp extinguished is like a dead body.
Although he is only a little baron, he still has to be angry and become a beauty!
