Nightmare Apostle

Chapter 191: Chapter 165: Disguise_3

After asking a few people from the crew, Pei Qiuyu finally learned that Chu Xi had already asked Director Ding for leave and had gone out to change her medication.

Without a moment’s hesitation, she chased after them. This was Pei Qiuyu’s last chance, but by the time she found Yang Xiao, he had already changed his medication, with Yu Mi by his side, holding a bag in her hand.

Pei Qiuyu’s eyesight was excellent, and she immediately saw the words "Song’s Pharmacy" on the bag.

"Miss Pei, is there something you need?" Yang Xiao held his face, his expression somewhat pained, as if in agony.

"Nothing much, just worried about your injury. How could you be so careless." Pei Qiuyu stepped forward, feigning concern, and reached out as if to examine the wound, but Yang Xiao dodged swiftly.

"Miss Pei, I need to get back now. Director Ding is waiting for me." Yang Xiao hurried away with very quick steps.

Seeing this, Yu Mi, who was holding the bag, also planned to leave but was stopped by Pei Qiuyu, "Miss Yu, what is this?"

"This is the used gauze Mr. Chu took off. Mr. Chu asked me to help him change his medication." Yu Mi spoke very quickly, her eyes shifting, clearly nervous.

Pei Qiuyu captured all of Yu Mi’s abnormal behavior and instantly had an idea, but her expression remained normal as she nodded lightly, "I see, let’s go back together then."

"No need, I still have to visit the restroom. You go ahead." Yu Mi replied.

"Okay, then take care of yourself." Pei Qiuyu did not persist and left directly. freewebnσvel.cѳm

Yu Mi watched Pei Qiuyu walk away, disappearing at the end of the hallway, before turning around and heading towards the restroom near the staircase. However, she did not choose the women’s restroom but stood outside the men’s restroom for a moment before suddenly going in. About ten seconds later, she came out and finally disappeared down the same corridor Yang Xiao and Pei Qiuyu had walked through.

But not long after she left, a sneaky figure emerged from nearby—it was Pei Qiuyu, who had spied on all of Yu Mi’s actions near the restroom.

Since the floor of the teaching building was reserved for filming, there were no students around, and the men’s restroom was empty. Pei Qiuyu went directly in and quickly found the discarded medicine bag that Yu Mi had thrown away in the trash can of the men’s restroom.

"Heh, quite clever, knowing that I am a woman and wouldn’t come looking in the men’s restroom, and then lied to me about going to the restroom." Pei Qiuyu chuckled inwardly, feeling that Yu Mi was still too green to compete with her.

Opening the bag, Pei Qiuyu found an old piece of used gauze. When she picked up the gauze, she quickly noticed something was off.

The gauze was very clean, and the stained area was a deeper shade of pink—the color of Mercurochrome. Most importantly, there was no blood on the gauze.

If he had been injured, how could the wound possibly not bleed?

Indeed, this was a deceit—it was all a ruse, and he had not been injured at all!

Her gaze swept over a line of numbers on the bag; it was a landline number, with the middle two digits blurred, as if they had been wet.

Pei Qiuyu immediately thought that it had rained the night before and the bag must have gotten wet in the rain by accident.

She studied the blurred numbers carefully. The first was completely smudged out, indecipherable, but the second was only half damaged, and she could vaguely make out the number 5.

Pei Qiuyu felt a surge of excitement, already formulating a plan. She took out her phone and dialed the number. The indistinct digits were not a hindrance, as she tried from 1 right up to 7, and finally, the call connected.

"Hello, is this Song’s Pharmacy?" Pei Qiuyu gripped the phone, restraining her excited state.

"Yes, how may I help you?" The voice on the other end was a stranger’s, but very polite. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

"It’s like this; my husband left his car keys at your place last night, has anyone found them?" Pei Qiuyu pretended to be very anxious.

"He was injured on his face and went to your place for treatment, you must have a recollection of this, right?"
