Chapter 1551: Chapter 1551

Tang Ming and the others took Lu Xiaolu back to the dormitory, and then returned to the men’s dormitory. On the way, Shao Wuyou and Hua Yingjie were discussing Zhao Yan and Xing Kang’s matters. They both fainted and had no idea what happened afterward.

It was even more strange that Meng Xianjun intentionally concealed the truth.

Tang Ming and the others left the scene, but Lin Xue did not leave. Instead, she looked around near where Lu Xiaolu and the others fainted with a puzzled expression.

"Deputy Director, what are you doing?"

A police officer asked Lin Xue suspiciously.

"My intuition tells me this matter is very bizarre."

Lin Xue furrowed her brows and searched around with a flashlight: "The timing of Lu Xiaolu and the others fainting is too coincidental. It seems like it wasn’t Zhao Yan and his accomplice who made them faint, but rather Meng Xianjun."

"Also, I have a certain understanding of Imperial University. If a master infiltrated and created such a ruckus, it would surely alarm the experts stationed in the Imperial City. But since the school hasn’t sent anyone out, it means the fight between Xing Kang and others was very brief."

Lin Xue began analyzing the unreasonable factors in the event based on her years of police experience.

The officer looked at Lin Xue confusedly.

"I’m not sure yet, but one thing is certain. If Xing Kang could extricate himself from the fight easily, he wouldn’t leave Zhao Yan behind and flee alone."

Lin Xue crouched down and suddenly paused, reaching out to grab some strange sand on the ground: "What is this stuff?"

"Isn’t this just dirt?"

The officer leaned closer, bewildered, and raised his flashlight.

"Why don’t you see if there is this dirt elsewhere?"

Lin Xue shone her flashlight at other spots.

"Immediately gather this dirt and take it back for testing."

Lin Xue ordered decisively.

The Medical College’s freshman evening party initially ended as a very happy event, but due to successive unexpected incidents, everyone’s mood was disturbed.

Tang Ming and the others returned to the dormitory, washed up, and then laid down in their beds.

"Tang Ming, what’s your relationship with Lu Xiaolu?"

Meng Xianjun lay on the bed, curiously watching the opposite Tang Ming.

Tang Ming responded casually with his eyes closed, but he was contemplating Zhao Yan’s daunting aspects.

Tang Ming isn’t afraid of the strong, but he fears those who use their brains.

Back when Nangong Tianyue was very clever, putting him in danger multiple times and nearly getting him killed, so now he’s very wary of Zhao Yan.

"Are you two a couple then?"

Meng Xianjun asked speechlessly.

"We shouldn’t be a couple, just friends. Who knows what she’s thinking, insisting that I’m her boyfriend?"

Tang Ming pouted dejectedly: "Maybe she doesn’t want to be bothered by Zhao Yan, so she uses me as a shield!"

"So you aren’t particularly close."

Meng Xianjun nodded in relief.

"Old Meng, what’s your deal? Could it be that you really fancy Lu Xiaolu?"

Shao Wuyou couldn’t hold back and raised his phone, complaining loudly: "I used to like Lu Xiaolu too, but since she set her eyes on Tang Ming, as a brother, I shouldn’t have any selfish thoughts."

"I don’t, I’m just..."

"No, no, no, if any of you fancy Lu Xiaolu, hurry and pursue her. My relationship with her is ordinary, nothing more."

Tang Ming immediately sat up and solemnly declared: "Speaking of Li Wenxuan, Liu Mengting, Li Xiaoli, Su Xiaoxi, my relationships with them are indeed close. If you want to approach them, I won’t agree. But about Lu Xiaolu, really, there’s nothing there."

"Hahaha, you’re getting all worked up."

Meng Xianjun burst into laughter: "Relax, brothers don’t cheat each other’s wives. I just wanted to confirm, I won’t have any inappropriate thoughts about Lu Xiaolu."

"Me too, you can relax."

Shao Wuyou grinned and continued playing on his phone.

"Sigh, even when speaking the truth nobody believes me, that’s just life."

Tang Ming sighed helplessly, then lay back down without speaking again.

Early the next morning, Tang Ming skipped class and hurried to the hospital, intending to question Zhao Yan.

"Is he stupid? How could a perfectly fine person become stupid?"

In the hospital corridor, Tang Ming looked at Lin Xue, puzzled.

"You’re asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"

Lin Xue rolled her eyes: "The doctor said the victim’s brain suffered severe stimulation, causing mental disorder, turning him into an idiot."

"How did it come to this?"

Tang Ming’s face was full of confusion. When he acted against Zhao Yan yesterday, he showed mercy and didn’t harm Zhao Yan’s brain. So how did he become stupid?

"What did you do to him to make him so idiotic?"

Lin Xue looked at Tang Ming suspiciously.

"I just punched him, at most, broke a rib, definitely didn’t do anything else."

Tang Ming shook his head firmly.

"That’s weird. Now that he’s a mental patient, we police can’t prosecute or investigate him. We can only wait for his family to come and claim him."

Lin Xue sighed helplessly.

"Damn it, does he have to become stupid at this specific time? How am I supposed to trace Xing Kang’s whereabouts now?"

Tang Ming cursed in frustration; Xing Kang is the real threat, and if not dealt with, the danger grows.

"By the way, there’s something I must tell you."

Lin Xue’s tone suddenly turned serious: "Yesterday, at the spot where Lu Xiaolu and others fainted, someone died."

Tang Ming looked at Lin Xue, bewildered.

Lin Xue handed Tang Ming a plastic bag containing gray powder and a test report.

"What is this stuff?"

Tang Ming examined the items in his hand in confusion.

"These are some strange powders I collected at the scene yesterday. After testing, the conclusion is these contain human genes, meaning that at that time someone other than you turned into ash."

Lin Xue’s face was serious as she introduced.

"Are you kidding? How can a living person turn into ash?"

Tang Ming was shocked and suspicious.

"These are scientific test results, believe it or not, you have to believe."

Lin Xue firmly stared at Tang Ming.

"But at the scene, only we, Zhao Yan, and..."

Halfway through speaking, Tang Ming paused abruptly: "You mean, Xing Kang has been turned into ashes?"

"Due to lacking Xing Kang’s data, it’s impossible to compare these findings with him, so I’m not sure if the deceased is Xing Kang."

Lin Xue shook her head, calmly analyzing: "But the people present were only you, Zhao Yan, and Xing Kang. I can’t think of anyone else being there."

Tang Ming nodded repeatedly.
