Chapter 36 Unfounded Resentment
Guan Hai was startled and quickly looked down at Xiao Shi in his arms, carefully checking him for any signs of injury.
After confirming that Xiao Shi was safe and sound, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.
He gently stroked Xiaoshi's head and asked with concern, "Xiaoshi, how are you feeling? Is anything bothering you?"
Xiao Shi shook his head, a grateful expression on his face: "Brother Guan Hai, I'm fine. Thank you for saving me, otherwise I don't know what would have happened..."
"It's good that you're alright." Guan Hai breathed a sigh of relief, then asked curiously, "By the way, Xiao Shi, weren't you going straight home? Why did you cross the road?"
Xiao Shi was relieved to have escaped unscathed and replied with lingering fear, "Brother Guan Hai, I was originally going to walk straight home, but the streetlights ahead were broken, so I had to take the other side. I never expected to encounter something like this..."
Guan Hai frowned, and said thoughtfully, "Hmm, I see... but I feel like something's not right."
That person was clearly targeting you. This doesn't seem like a simple accident. Have you offended anyone recently?
Xiao Shi tried hard to recall, then shook his head firmly: "Brother Guan Hai, absolutely not. I'm just an ordinary student, and I haven't made any enemies with anyone."
Guan Hai fell into deep thought and muttered to himself, "That's strange... In any case, we should go to the hospital to check your health first, to make sure you're alright, and then report the case to the patrol department, just in case something similar happens again."
Guan Hai then carried Xiao Shi on his back and strode towards the hospital.
It was around 2 a.m. when the two of them came out of the patrol station. The city was quiet at this time, with only the streetlights emitting a faint light.
After Guan Hai took Xiao Shi home by taxi, he sat in the car lost in thought. He remembered that the patrol officer from the patrol department had said that the surveillance cameras on that section of the road were under maintenance, so they hadn't captured who attacked them, only a blurry image of the motorcycle.
The inspectors then asked them to leave their contact information and wait for information, saying they would be notified of the results. Guan Hai left his phone number and thanked the inspectors.
But he knew in his heart that waiting for news from the inspection might take some time, and during that time he couldn't just sit and wait for his doom.
Guan Hai looked at the photo in his hand; the silhouette of the motorcycle looked particularly mysterious in the darkness.
He took a deep breath and decided to investigate himself. He believed that if he found the motorcycle, he could find the attacker.
He wanted to uncover the mystery himself, and he absolutely couldn't let Xiao Shi suffer the same fate as him.
……
Time flies like an arrow. During this time, Guan Hai tirelessly searched around the crime scene all by himself, and finally, his hard work paid off, and he found some valuable clues.
Surveillance video from street shops clearly shows that the mysterious motorcycle was last seen near the back gate of Shanghai Conservatory of Music.
Therefore, Guan Hai made up his mind to return to the school and adopt a strategy of staking out the location, waiting for the motorcycle to reappear. Once the time was right, he could capture the person in one fell swoop.
However, Guan Hai was unaware that his unusual behavior in recent days had attracted the attention of the Faiz team, which was on a surveillance mission at Shanghai Conservatory of Music, and Zeng Qixia, who was also searching for clues on campus.
At the same time, Su Qian had retrieved all of Guan Hai's detailed information and conducted a meticulous study and analysis.
The situation at Shanghai Conservatory of Music has become increasingly complex, with various forces gathered, each with their own purposes and motives, setting the stage for a fierce competition.
On this day, the preliminary rounds of the National Guitar Competition grandly opened at the Haishi Gymnasium.
Xiao Shi actively signed up to participate. He originally hoped to compete with Guan Hai, but unfortunately, Guan Hai was unable to leave because he needed to keep an eye on that mysterious person.
Therefore, he did not participate in the competition, but only encouraged Xiao Shi to do his best in the competition, and he would handle the rest of the problems.
Soon, the first round of the preliminary rounds officially began, and Xiao Shi was among the participants in this round.
Guan Hai knew that if the mysterious figure had not given up, he would definitely show up today.
As expected, things unfolded exactly as he had predicted. As night fell, Guan Hai was monitoring from a tall building near the back gate of the school when he suddenly spotted a motorcycle speeding out of an alley.
Once he confirmed that the vehicle matched the one in the photo perfectly, he immediately rode off and followed closely behind.
When Guan Hai caught up to a fork in the road, he realized that this route led directly to Xiao Shi's house.
In an instant, he realized the whole truth.
So he quickly chose to take a shortcut and headed to the only road ahead of the mysterious motorcycle to try and intercept it.
When the mysterious man spotted Guan Hai, he slowly stopped the car, but didn't say a word. He just stared intently at Guan Hai through the gap in his helmet with his sharp eyes.
Guan Hai said directly to the mysterious man, "Actually, I had already sensed that something was wrong, and the direction you are heading now has confirmed all my previous guesses."
"However, I'm still very curious, why are you so determined to find Xiao Shi?" After saying that, Guan Hai stood quietly in place, as if waiting for the other party to give an explanation.
However, the mysterious man didn't seem to want to talk to Guan Hai any longer. He quickly turned the car around and prepared to leave.
"Teacher Liu, do I really have to spell everything out for you? Even though you're all wrapped up tightly now, you've forgotten your little habit—you're still wearing the peace knot that your wife gave you on your right wrist!"
“From the beginning, I couldn’t believe it, but after Xiaoshi was attacked that night, I searched for clues repeatedly and thought carefully about the whole incident. Finally, I understood everything.”
"I noticed your expression when you heard that Xiaoshi had mustered up the courage to participate in the competition. Although you were full of surprise on the surface, your eyes betrayed you. Why did you do this?!" Guan Hai shouted hoarsely, his voice filled with anger and confusion.
He stared intently at the other man, trying to find the answer in his face, which was hidden by his helmet.
Upon hearing this, the man's body trembled slightly. He then stopped walking, slowly turned around, took off his helmet, and revealed his true identity—it was Teacher Liu.
At this moment, Teacher Liu's face was flushed, her eyes were bloodshot, and her gaze revealed a deep sense of jealousy and anger.
He stared intently at Guan Hai, gritting his teeth as he said, "Why? You ask me why! I'll tell you right now, what I hate most are you so-called geniuses."
"We've all put in the same effort, so why are you able to easily achieve what we ordinary people dream of just because you're a little more talented? This is so unfair!" As she spoke, Teacher Liu became increasingly agitated, and her voice grew louder and louder.
"You're one! Xiao Shi is one too! I'm going to destroy all of you so-called geniuses! I want to watch you fall from your high positions and show that look of despair on your faces."
"Hahaha, that expression is truly captivating!" Teacher Liu laughed maniacally, her laughter filled with twisted and perverse laughter.
