Nightmare Assault

Chapter 79: Plan

Even Fatty could guess who Chen Yao wanted to ask to be her dance partner. It was her teacher and Li Yanwei’s fiance, Su Yu. Li Yanwei’s tone started to tremble uncontrollably. Just telling the story was torture for her.

“From that moment onwards, Chen Yao kept trying to get close to Su Yu using the excuse of dance practice. She tried to delay their training during the day so that she could get Su Yu to stay overnight to accompany her during practice at night. She made chances for them to be alone.

“The higher-ups valued the success of this performance. Su Yu also just joined the school. He had been looking for a chance to prove himself. Plus…” Li Yanwei gritted her teeth, “Who would have thought an innocent girl would have such a plotting heart?

“I was definitely blind back then!”

Jiang Cheng and Fatty listened quietly. They didn’t say anything and they stopped comforting her. Compared to her experience, her words of comfort would have felt empty.

Li Yanwei calmed down for a few seconds before resuming, “As the interactions between the two became more intimate, and some of the physical interactions were beyond normal teaching, Su Yu started to feel something was wrong. Chen Yao’s feelings for him had gone beyond what was appropriate. Realising this, Su Yu started to distance himself from Chen Yao. He was fearful of her. He delayed as many training sessions as he could. He stopped going to the dance classroom at night to train with Chen Yao.”

At this point, Jiang Cheng suddenly interrupted, “Where is the dance classroom?”

“Block C.” Li Yanwei looked at Jiang Cheng and said pointedly, “You’ve been there before. It’s the music classroom used for rehearsals.

“After that incident, the school was pressured to dissolve the whole dance course. All the male staff was let go, and the dance classroom was sealed. It was not until last year when the new school admin came that the place was modified into the current music classroom.”

“Yes.” Li Yanwei nodded. Veins popped on her exposed forehead. She looked scary. “Chen Yao had lost her mind! Since her seduction failed, she resorted to threats! She threatened Su Yu that if he didn’t break up with me and get with her, she would… tell the whole school that Su Yu tried to assault her sexually!”

Fatty frowned, clearly not believing this. Li Yanwei suddenly paused. After a long time, she said, “However, Su Yu wouldn’t submit. He admired Chen Yao but only as a student. He firmly rejected her.

“On a rainy night, Chen Yao waited for Su Yu alone in the dance classroom. Since Su Yu didn’t show, she hanged herself. Her corpse was discovered the next day by the patrolling guards. Based on our later analysis, Chen Yao suffered from mental illness. This twisted her mind and personality. She got lost in a mutated love, and it led her to this end.” Li Yanwei shook her head. Her expression was complicated.

Fatty wanted to say something, but he didn’t know where to begin.

“By the way,” Li Yanwei looked at them and sighed. She changed the subject, “Where are the others who were with you?”

“They…”

“Three of them are confirmed dead.” Jiang Cheng interrupted Fatty and said naturally, “Chen Yao murdered them.”

Fatty was shaken. He glanced at Jiang Cheng in shock. Could they share that with an NPC? He was still worried that Li Yanwei before them was Chen Yao in disguise. She might suddenly turn on them.

However, Li Yanwei didn’t look shocked. She nodded and asked calmly, “All the dead have their jaws taken away, right?”

“That’s right.”

Li Yanwei was silent before adding, “She still can’t let it go.”

“What do you mean?”

“Like I said, she once reported Su Yu to the staff to force him to accept her. She claimed that Su Yu tried to make unethical advances on her. However, she didn’t expect the school guards to be there when she tried to seduce Su Yu in the dance classroom. It was due to the testimony of the few guards that Su Yu’s name was cleared. Karma got her in the end,” Li Yanwei said with some relief. “The innocent persona she tried to maintain at school was ruined. Everyone talked behind her back. The school cancelled her dance. There were even rumours that they were going to expel her.” Such an ending was within the two’s expectations.

“It sounds like her artistic life was over,” Fatty lamented.

“It’s more than that.” Jiang Cheng scratched his chin. “For a girl, her whole life was over.” In the dim corridor, a fog of melancholy settled. Fatty didn’t approve of the girl hungering after another woman’s fiance and creating false rumours. However, he also felt pity for Chen Yao, considering her ending. Fatty was a conflicting person.

“That’s why I said these are all Chen Yao’s revenge.” Li Yanwei said, “Not long after Chen Yao’s death, all the guards who stood up for Fu Yu met unfortunate ends.” Thinking about the incidents back then, Li Yanwei shrunk her neck, and her nerves pulled tout. Jiang Cheng and Fatty heard about the security guards from Xu Wen, who heard it from Feng Lan. The two threads finally converged.

“Other than the guards, did anyone else get harmed?”

Li Yanwei nodded. “A few teachers and two students from the instrumental majors.”

Fatty asked, “Did they also join in Chen Yao’s expose?”

“In a way,” Li Yanwei answered, “The teachers said that they once saw Chen Yao acting flirtatiously around her teacher and purposely leaned her body on him during practice.

“The two students were the music accompaniment to their dance. They joined the rehearsal. Their statements… were similar to the teachers.”

Jiang Cheng thought about it, “How many people were harmed in total?”

“Nine people,” Li Yanwei said confidently.
