Nightmare Assault

Chapter 88: Su Yu

Su Yu wiggled his body to squeeze through the gap. His wilted arm reached out to grab Fatty’s feet. His eyes glowed with a creepy light. Fatty stamped his feet helplessly. Just as he thought he was about to die, he suddenly heard a boom. Half of Su Yu’s body had crawled out of the door. However, his head tilted out of a sudden. He slumped to the ground like the energy had been sucked out of his body. Only his thin fingers twitched weakly.

Fatty widened his eyes. He saw Jiang Cheng standing beside Su Yu from the corner of his eyes. Jiang Cheng raised the second flower pot way above his head and slammed it down.

BANG!

Even the fingers stopped moving. The successions of shock were too much for Fatty to handle. His vision blurred, and soon, he fainted…

When we woke up again, he realised he was already inside the yard and leaning against a pillar. Before him was a sand pit. In the middle of the pit was a chair. It was a school chair. It was not tall and had a back. It was very sturdy. A person was tied to the chair: Su Yu.

Fatty woke up the instant he saw Su Yu. He moved his sore neck to look for Jiang Cheng. Soon, a rustling sound approached him. Jiang Cheng appeared from a corner. He carried a round stuff on each of his arms. When he got closer, Fatty recognised them as two red flower pots.

“Doctor!” Fatty said excitedly.

Jiang Cheng looked at him and nodded. “You’re awake.”

Fatty had many questions, but he didn’t know where to start. In any case, the doctor was amazing. He caught a ghost with just two pots.

Jiang Cheng seemed to see through Fatty’s concern. He placed the pots on the ground and then pointed at Su Yu, “He won’t be waking up any time soon. Don’t worry.”

“Doctor!” Hearing that, Fatty cried loudly. “You are so brave to smash the pots against the ghost’s head!”

Jiang Cheng halted. Then, he looked at Fatty strangely, “You need to check your eyes. He’s a human, not a ghost.”

“How can that be? He was acting so much like a ghost! He tried to grab me!” Fatty shook his head.

“Hey!” Jiang Cheng walked forward to smack Su Yu’s face. “Wake up. We have questions for you.”

Fatty stood up and ran over. After he woke up, Su Yu didn’t look as scary as before. His hands were tied behind the chair, and his legs were bound together. He looked like he was going to faint again. “You bunch of shameless accomplices… You deserve to die!” He hissed weakly, but the hatred was still present.

“This is so confusing.” Fatty widened his eyes. He confirmed that Su Yu was a human and not a ghost. After all, his head was bleeding from being hit twice. Jiang Cheng found a towel and tied a bow around Su Yu’s head.

No matter what Fatty asked, Su Yu repeated the same curses. He was heavily resentful. The themes of his curses included accomplices, perverts, possession, dog, Chen Yao… and Li Yanwei. “He… hehe…” As blood slid down his face, Su Yi chuckled coolly, “You’re all the same. None of you can escape.

“Chen Yao will come for you…

“Just wait for your death. You’ll get nothing from me… She’ll never forgive any of you.”

Fatty swallowed nervously. It was undeniable that Chen Yao was the ghost. As for the other things Su Yu said…

“You misunderstood us.” Jiang Cheng interrupted. “We are not on the same side as Li Yanwei. We just want to figure out the truth and clear up the dead’s name.”

Fatty concurred, “That’s right. Our friends are the same. We are the agents of justice.”

Su Yu lifted his head, and his lips tore open. His voice was coarse. “Do you think I’d be tricked? Do you think I don’t know you’ve been targeted by Chen Yao? How much longer… do you think you can live? Li Yanwei, that bitch…”

Jiang Cheng tutted with impatience. He told Fatty, “I need you to leave me with Brother Su Yu. I need to have a private chat with him.” Fatty glanced at Su Yu before leaving obediently.

Only Jiang Cheng and Su Yu remained in the yard. Fatty didn’t dare to go far. He hid in a nearby house. This was where Su Yu stayed. There was an old table and a semi-clean bed. There was no light in the room. There was only a white candle. A giant glass was placed on the table. Fatty walked over in curiosity. A few pictures were placed under the glass. They were all pictures of a couple. They wore matching dance costumes. Their movement was graceful and lively. They looked very much in love. The man was Su Yu, and the woman… Fatty’s eyes fell open.

It was Chen Yao.

The simple pictures coagulated to form a story. Fatty realised something. He turned and left when he bumped into Jiang Cheng, who came looking for him.

“Doctor,” Fatty spoke very quickly, “I know the truth now. You were right. Li Yanwei was lying. Su Yu was not seduced by Chen Yao. They were in love. Li Yanwei was the third party!”

Jiang Cheng nodded emotionlessly.

Fatty was confused. Then, it dawned on him. He probed, “Doctor, has Su Yu… confessed everything?”

“Yes.”

Fatty sighed and lamented, “You must have exhausted a lot of energy to get him to speak.”

“It’s alright.” Jiang Cheng touched his chin. “The two pots did most of the work.”

Fatty, “...”

As Jiang Cheng relayed Su Yu’s confession, Fatty’s eyes widened even more.

He didn’t think Su Yu would be so cooperative. He left no stone unturned. He even handed over the diary Chen Yao had gifted to him. His actions were a direct contrast to the manly posturing he showed off earlier.

According to Su Yu, the person with mental issues was not Chen Yao but Li Yanwei. She used her identity as the headmaster’s daughter to rule over the school. She forced herself between Su Yu and Chen Yao.

She was crazy and highly possessive. Since Chen Yao refused to break up with Su Yu, Li Yanwei spread rumours around the school to ruin Chen Yao’s reputation.
