From picking up corpses to becoming a true god of America

Chapter 106 Let's see your resolve.

"Baka! Who gave you the audacity to talk bad about that guy behind his back?"

In a classroom on the University of Washington campus, the leading Japanese exchange student, Shigeo Tanaka, questioned with dissatisfaction.

But his words drew ridicule from his classmates.

"What's wrong with this now? Tanaka-kun, you're just too cowardly."

"That's right, there are so many people at school, how would he know it was us? And we can't possibly admit it!"

"Tanaka-kun, aren't you even slightly affected by Ozeki's death? How can you be considered Japanese? You need to reflect on your actions!"

Hearing his classmates' mockery, a hint of struggle appeared on Tanaka Shigeo's broad face.

He really understands these students so well.

They are usually too shrewd to stand out, but when given an opportunity, they always put the dangers behind them, treat everyone as fools, and believe that things will only develop according to their expectations.

This is no longer a matter of revenge.

Tanaka Shigeo is now even worried that this might provoke Ye Xiao's wrath.

"Now is not the time to avenge Da Guan. Can't you all face reality? Do you think we can fight against Ye Xiao?"

Tanaka Shigeo earnestly advised, "It's true that there are many people at school, but think about it carefully. Besides us, who else would speak ill of Ye Xiao?"

"————"

Upon hearing this, the students remained silent for a moment, clearly indicating that they had not considered this issue.

"Ken, there must be some, that guy isn't a good person either."

"That's right, there must be people who can't stand that guy's behavior and want to teach him a lesson!"

"Tanaka, just think about it, how many papers has that guy listed as an author? His labmates must hate him to death!"

Innocent!

These guys who live in their own world give Tanaka Shigeo a huge headache.

If he weren't also a Japanese exchange student, Tanaka would have even wanted to teach these guys a lesson.

Those Americans are basically all about profit.

As long as Ye Xiao can bring them benefits, what do skipping classes and not studying matter?

Didn't you see that the professors and classmates didn't care and even helped him cover it up?

As for the thesis, Shigeo Tanaka did indeed inquire about it.

That was something she wrote willingly for Ye Xiao!

Even so, people still have to fight tooth and nail to get in!

We still have to wait in line!

In this school, a paper is nothing special, but getting Ye Xiao's help makes all the difference.

These guys don't even know who they're up against.

Like the naive protagonist in a shonen manga, he believes that courage and friendship are all it takes to overcome everything.

"Have you considered what would happen if Ye Xiao found out about this and planned to retaliate against us?"

Tanaka Shigeo asked with a helpless expression.

"How is that possible!"

The students laughed and joked, and the air was filled with innocent optimism.

"This is a country ruled by law. Do you think that bastard can just arrest us?"

"Exactly! Even if he dared to do that, there would definitely be someone who could punish him!"

"As long as we remain resolute, he will absolutely not dare to do anything to us."

Just then, a classmate looked out the window and exclaimed, "Oh no! Ye Xiao is back! And he's with a policewoman!"

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, a sense of unease began to spread among the crowd.

It felt like the absurdity of dialing the police and then the robber's phone ringing.

Is America really that lawless?

No, we can't just sit here and wait to die!

"Let's run! As long as we're not in school, he can't do anything to us."

"That's right!"

The group of people, who had just been so smug, suddenly scattered like birds and beasts.

Tanaka Shigeo was also about to leave when someone stopped him and asked him to do something.

"Tanaka-kun, could you please hold him off for a bit?"

"What?"

"Oh, and Ayase-san, you and Ye Xiao seemed to be quite close before, right? Please help me!"

Ayase Haruka, who was called over, was also completely bewildered.

She used to have a good relationship with Ye Xiao, but after that, she was like air to her, not only abandoned by Ye Xiao, but also ignored by her classmates.

A person is all alone at school.

Now that they're in trouble, are they suddenly remembering that they're compatriots?

"you!"

Ayase Haruka wanted to say something, but before she could finish, the group of classmates had already run far away.

"Ayase-san, please."

Tanaka Shigeo turned around helplessly and looked at Ayase Haruka, feeling a little sorry for her.

But there was nothing they could do; the only person among this group who had any connection with Ye Xiao was Ayase Haruka.

It was precisely for this reason that the group of classmates didn't dare to do anything to Ayase Haruka.

"But----"

Ayase Haruka hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to say.

Her classmates all thought she was Ye Xiao's girlfriend, but only Ayase Haruka herself knew that she wasn't even a lover who could be called upon at any time.

Isn't this pushing her into a fire pit?

After a brief stalemate, Ye Xiao and Louise appeared in the corridor.

Upon seeing them, Tanaka Shigeo quickly walked up and bowed deeply, looking embarrassed.

"Officers, I'm sorry, it was my fault for not disciplining you properly. I'm sorry to have troubled you by making you come all this way."

"Um?"

Louise was momentarily stunned upon hearing this.

Not being very familiar with the Japanese craftsmanship spirit, she was surprised that the Japanese man in front of her confessed so readily.

"Then come with us to the police station and confess the truth."

Louise spoke, then looked coldly at Ye Xiao, signaling him to handcuff Tanaka Shigeo.

"Okay."

When he saw Ye Xiao pull out handcuffs, Tanaka Shigeo was stunned and stared wide-eyed in surprise.

Is there something wrong here?

They just reported Ye Xiao falsely, and they arrested him so blatantly?

Isn't it said that America has freedom of speech?

Why is it dark in Seattle too?

"Officers, is there some misunderstanding?"

Tanaka Shigeo hurriedly asked.

"What's there to misunderstand? Didn't you already admit it?"

"No, Mr. Ye—"

"I didn't say anything bad about you. It was other people who said it. I... I'm still trying to protect your reputation, really!"

After saying that, Tanaka Shigeo quickly looked at Ayase Haruka, hoping she could help him explain.

Seeing Ling Lanyao's aggrieved and pitiful appearance, Ye Xiao could roughly guess what these people were doing.

That's just how life is these days; old habits die hard.

If you get fed up with being stepped on and have your head stepped on, you'll start to rebel and think you're awesome.

Then he stood up and received another beating, which finally made him behave, and he obediently lay on the ground eating excrement.

This cycle repeats endlessly.

In the end, he suffered a lot of pain and punishment, yet he still went around stubbornly claiming that he was actually a masochist and that this was his preference.

"So that means you admit that you had contact with Yoshitoshi Ogushi before, right?"

Ye Xiao's sudden question left Tanaka Shigeo speechless.

How could there be no contact?

Previously, Yoshitoshi Ozeki was their president. Who among the Japanese exchange students who came to Seattle didn't know him?

"Chief, there are only two of them, so why don't we interrogate them separately?"

Louise glanced at Ye Xiao and nodded.

"Alright."

"Then come with me."

Ye Xiao grabbed Ayase Haruka's wrist and quickly walked to the next classroom.

Seeing this, Louise was slightly angry.

This guy isn't content with having his own sister; he actually dares to be ambiguous with other girls right in front of me?

However, Louise needed Ye Xiao's help, so she couldn't make a scene on the spot.

She stared coldly at Tanaka Shigeo and questioned him in a clear, cold voice.

"In that case, tell me about your relationship with Yoshitoshi Ozeki."

"Okay, okay."

Tanaka Shigeo nodded repeatedly, pursed his slightly chapped lips, and carefully recounted his experiences with Ozeki Tomohisa.

In the classroom next door.

"Mr. Ye!"

Feeling restless, Ayase Haruka couldn't help but stand up.

"What's wrong, Ayase-san?"

Ye Xiao nodded slightly, casually sat down by the window, and looked at the scenery outside with a calm expression.

"You guys got together, didn't you, to talk bad about me behind my back?"

"No, I didn't say anything—"

Haruka Ayase lowered her head in fear.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not a bad person."

Ye Xiao smiled, got up and helped her sit down beside him, then pulled her into his arms.

The fresh citrus scent unique to the young girl, coupled with her pretty short skirt and shirt, made him feel a little itchy.

"Tell me, it's been a long time. How have you been lately?"

"this----"

Haruka Ayase has been having a really tough time lately.

Ye Xiao ignored her, and her classmates regarded her as a traitor, making Ayase Haruka almost invisible at school.

Hearing that Ye Chi still cared about her, Haruka was unexpectedly touched. She gripped her skirt tightly with her small hands and said nervously.

"It's not good. My classmates all think I'm one of your people, and they've been ostracizing me ever since that incident. I really don't know what to do."

understood.

It's that same old "reading the air" stuff again.

Everyone tacitly ostracized the same person, appearing polite and respectful on the surface, but in reality, they were all wearing masks and just going through the motions.

No wonder Ayase Haruka looks so haggard after spending so much time in such an environment.

'

Ye Xiao did not respond, but simply shook his head silently.

Seeing this, Ayase Haruka was startled and anxiously gripped Ye Xiao's hand, asking, "What's wrong? Are you going to abandon me too?"

"There's really nothing we can do about it."

Ye Xiao sighed: "So many things have happened before, which has led to the Federation sending many people to Seattle. I can barely take care of myself, so how can I help you?"

"Oh no, how could this happen?"

Ayase Haruka opened her mouth, a look of self-reproach in her eyes.

No wonder Ye Xiao hasn't been paying attention to her lately; it turns out he's run into a lot of trouble.

Thinking about how she had previously blamed Ye Xiao, Ayase Haruka felt even more guilty.

But if even Ye Xiao can't help, then wouldn't she be—

Thinking of this, Ayase Haruka's face turned pale, and she felt a wave of despair, tears streaming down her face.

Am I really going to spend four years like this in Seattle?

"However, it's not entirely impossible; the question is what price you're willing to pay."

Ye Xiao's sudden words gave Ayase Haruka a jolt, but his next sentence plunged her into despair.

cost?

The last time he made a deal with Ye Xiao, Ayase Haruka was abandoned by everyone, and now he actually wants to make a deal with him again?

"you!"

Ayase Haruka bit her lip tightly, her anger showing on her face. She pulled her hand back in anger and shame, her chest heaving violently.

I've fallen to this state entirely because of that guy Ye Xiao!

Ayase Haruka grew angrier the more she thought about it, and subconsciously raised her hand.

However, just as that little hand was about to slap that shameless face...

Ye Xiao suddenly grabbed Ayase Haruka's wrist and pulled her into a tight embrace.

"How about sending those who look down on you and ostracize you to hell?"

Ayase Haruka, who was feeling suffocated by the pressure, suddenly froze upon hearing these words, raising her confused eyes filled with tears.

Ye Xiao knew the time was right.

Haruka Ayase is now alone in a foreign land, feeling utterly helpless.

Given her vengeful nature, even if she hates herself, she will cling to this only lifeline like a drowning person.

Through skillful manipulation, Ye Xiao successfully diverted Ayase Haruka's hatred to her fellow villagers.

For Haruka Ayase, it doesn't really matter who she seeks revenge against.

The important question is who can help her get revenge and who can guarantee her a high enough position in the future.

Ayase Haruka suddenly closed her eyes, thought for a moment, and then spoke softly.

"Um, could you not kill them all?"

Why?

"I... I'd like to keep a few people here so they can help you in the future—"

Goodness, are all these Japanese people really this bad?

"Then let's see how determined you are."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao stopped pretending and picked up Ayase Haruka, pressing her against the classroom window.

"Wait! Not here!"

Ayase Haruka subconsciously placed her hands on the glass, looked down, and saw countless students walking by in the familiar schoolyard.

If someone sees her, her student life will be completely over, right?

"Don't worry, they won't look up. Look how beautiful the scenery is at this school."

"No, Mr. Ye, please—"

Ayase Haruka was so anxious that she even shouted in her native language, but fortunately Ye Xiao also knew a few words of Japanese.

Those teachers' lessons back then weren't wasted; they did put their knowledge to practical use to some extent.

While students are working hard to graduate and improve their GPA, little do they know that someone else is already diligently studying with their classmates in the classroom.

After a long while, in the classroom next door.

Louise questioned Tanaka Shigeo but didn't get any clues.

As they left the classroom, Ye Xiao and Ayase Haruka also happened to come out from the side.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing Ayase Haruka's flushed face and shifty eyes, Louise couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"It's nothing, just a few simple questions."

Ye Xiao said calmly, "I found a few valuable clues."

"real?"

Louise frowned and looked at Ayase Haruka: "Then why is she like this? Is she feeling unwell?"

It's really uncomfortable; it's so full it's almost overflowing.

Haruka Ayase guiltily clutched her lower abdomen, avoiding Louise's eyes, and bit her red lips softly, saying, "No, it's nothing, it's probably just my period."

"Oh, I see."

Louise didn't suspect anything and casually asked, "Are you feeling better now? I have painkillers in my car, do you need them?"

"No, no need, I feel much better now!"

Ayase Haruka's face turned even redder.

Thanks to Ye Xiao's miraculous healing, even her biggest heartache has been cured.
