Chapter 30: Chapter 30: The First Time Killing with His Own Hands
The three of them had done such things before, though they had faced setbacks in the past. However, they never expected that this time the target was just a young man, yet they still met a tragic defeat!
"Tell me, who sent you?" Fang Yuan asked expressionlessly.
"Hmph, we're in your hands now. Kill or scrape, it's all up to you." One of them coldly snorted.
Fang Yuan raised an eyebrow and suddenly slapped the man.
Bang... The man's head slammed against the bathroom wall, splitting open, and he died on the spot.
Fang Yuan was startled. He hadn't planned on killing anyone. Did he use too much force?
The other two were also shocked, clearly not expecting Fang Yuan to actually kill, and to do it so decisively and ruthlessly. What terrified them even more was Fang Yuan's strength.
Watching the blood flow uncontrollably, even brain matter oozing out, Fang Yuan frowned, feeling disgusted.
Previously, when he sent Bai Feng and the others into the steel ball world and watched them die, he didn't feel anything. But now that he had killed someone with his own hands, it felt completely different, and he wasn't accustomed to it at all.
However, he couldn't show it. Fang Yuan continued to look expressionlessly at the other two. "What about you? Are you going to speak?"
The two still alive remained silent. Though they had been under control before, they thought Fang Yuan was young and wouldn't dare to kill. But now, they dared not take the risk.
Seeing they were silent, Fang Yuan, irritated, asked, "What kind of benefits did your backers give you that you'd rather die than reveal who sent you?"
The two frowned, hesitating but still saying nothing.
Fang Yuan became angrier. "Damn it, you're prisoners now, and you're still acting all high and mighty in front of me?"
Fang Yuan spoke as he prepared to act. After all, killing one person was the same as killing two or three.
"Wait..." one of them quickly said when Fang Yuan was about to make a move. "It's not that we don't want to speak, but if we do, our families will be in danger."
"Oh? They're threatening you with your families?" Fang Yuan was surprised. "Looks like you're veterans, and you're being subjected to this kind of treatment?"
The two exchanged a glance, and another person spoke up. "Mr. Fang Yuan, we have no ill intentions. We just wanted to bring you to investigate some matters."
"Are you police officers?" Fang Yuan's expression changed slightly. "Do you have any evidence? No, I've never heard of the police investigating things by kidnapping people."
The man gritted his teeth and said, "It was the Bai family who sent us."
"The Bai family in the capital?" Fang Yuan raised an eyebrow. How could the Bai family be suspicious of him? Was it because of the rooster incident or Bai Fengqing's disappearance?
It seemed like the people who had entered his house before were also from the Bai family.
"You really do know the Bai family." The man continued, "When Bai Fengqing disappeared, someone found footage from surveillance cameras showing you hanging around near the Youth Club. They wanted to bring you in for questioning."
"Just because I was nearby, they want to arrest me?" Fang Yuan thought the Bai family's way of doing things was unreasonable.
"We don't know the details either. We don't have enough standing," the man replied.
Fang Yuan frowned, nodding. "Anything else you want to say?"
The two's expressions changed.
"Mr. Fang Yuan, since you know who's behind us, you should understand that if you kill us, you'll become the enemy of the Bai family."
"That's right, the Bai family's power is far beyond what you think," the other man quickly added.
"Who says I'm going to kill you? I'm giving you a new life!"
Fang Yuan waved his hand, and the two men were instantly transported to the steel ball world, along with the dead body.
From the beginning, Fang Yuan had no intention of letting them go. After seeing their strength, letting them go would be no different from letting a tiger return to the mountain.
Moreover, since he had already killed one person, even if he didn't kill the other two, he couldn't just let them go. He might as well make them contribute in the steel ball world.
Then, Fang Yuan took out some detergent and cleaned up the traces in the bathroom and room.
...
"The Bai family actually suspects me now. This is troublesome," Fang Yuan thought, feeling a bit of a headache. Though he wasn't an ordinary person anymore, he hated trouble.
Regret was useless now. Those three hadn't returned, and the Bai family would definitely send more people.
If it was just the Bai family's people, Fang Yuan wasn't afraid. What worried him was if they reported it to the police, using the public force to deal with him.
"I need to be more low-key from now on. I can't just take anyone in anymore," Fang Yuan thought to himself. It was true—if you want to keep something a secret, don't do it. The heavens' net is vast, and nothing escapes it. One careless mistake, and you'll expose yourself.
The next day, as Fang Yuan was just getting up, he suddenly received a phone call from Wang Lili.
"Fang Yuan, why didn't you call my sister? I thought you two were starting to date," Wang Lili said, puzzled.
"About that, I forgot. I've been busy lately. I just came back from Sha City yesterday," Fang Yuan explained.
"Busy with what that you could forget something like this?" Wang Lili scolded. "How about this, I'll arrange for you two to meet. Are you free tomorrow?"
"No, I'm fine on my own..."
"Fine? What fine? It's settled. I'll arrange it and call you," Wang Lili said, hanging up the phone in a very domineering manner.
Fang Yuan looked at his phone, speechless. But he could tell that Wang Lili really cared about him, so he didn't mind.
"She's worried I don't have a woman to sleep with, huh? But she doesn't come here herself," Fang Yuan muttered with a smirk, though he wasn't sure what he was laughing about.
"Fang Yuan, are you home?" At that moment, a girl's voice came from the door, and it sounded familiar.
Fang Yuan opened the door and was surprised to see Wang Yuanyuan. "Yuanyuan? What are you doing here? Come in and sit."
Wang Yuanyuan stuck out her little tongue and, a bit awkward, entered the room. She smiled happily. "I just started my winter vacation yesterday, so I came over."
"You're already on winter break? By the way, are you in high school now? How old are you?" Fang Yuan casually asked.
"I'm in the first year of high school, I'm fifteen," Wang Yuanyuan answered.
"Fifteen and already in the first year of high school? Your grades must be good."
"Of course, I've always been in the top few of my grade," Wang Yuanyuan said proudly when the topic of grades came up.
"Not bad." Fang Yuan went into the kitchen, and as he reached for something, he grabbed a rabbit, took a knife, and started slaughtering it, draining its blood. He had eaten rabbit meat before.
This rabbit was from the group he had caught in the Xishuangbanna Forest, and now it had multiplied in the steel ball world.
Seeing Fang Yuan slaughtering the rabbit, Wang Yuanyuan's face changed slightly, and she hurriedly turned her head away, but she didn't say anything.
Fang Yuan laughed when he saw this. "Are you afraid of blood?"
"Huh? No, it's just that I feel bad for the little rabbit. Don't get me wrong, I've eaten rabbit meat before, just never seen one being killed," Wang Yuanyuan hurriedly explained.
Fang Yuan smiled. "Then you can watch TV. The remote is on the coffee table."
"Okay."
Wang Yuanyuan hurriedly sat on the couch, grabbed the remote, and turned on the TV, but kept glancing toward the kitchen.
Fang Yuan found it a bit odd. What was this girl doing here? They didn't have that close a relationship yet, and she wasn't a child.
But Fang Yuan just found it strange and actually felt that it was much livelier with someone in the house. He was used to being alone before. Though it wasn't exactly boring, it was a bit too quiet.
