Illimitable Until Death Chapter 203

Published at 12th of September 2023 06:59:35 AM

On that day, due to the bus hijacking incident, Fang Li and Aria couldn’t attend their classes and were called to the Student Affairs Office to provide an explanation about how they resolved the situation. Furthermore, they were questioned separately to prevent collusion or providing false testimonies.

Such measures were taken to avoid any biased statements that could arise from solving an incident as a team. After the explanation, the process would only conclude once both accounts matched completely.

After the process was completed, they were finally able to claim their reward.

In such sudden incidents, the rewards for being the ones who successfully resolved the case were often quite substantial. So, by the time they finished all the procedures, it was already evening.

When Fang Li returned to his room after leaving Butei High, an unexpected scene awaited him.

“So slow!”

Sitting on the living room sofa, Aria was fixing her hair and greeted Fang Li with a complaining tone, “I’ve been waiting for you for half an hour!”

Hearing this, Fang Li narrowed his eyes and sighed, “At a time like this, shouldn’t it be me who should ask first as to why and more importantly how you appeared in my room?”

“Do you still need an explanation for this kind of thing?” Aria raised her eyebrows and said, “As my partner, I can figure it out on my own.”

She figured it out through her “Deduction”…

Anyway, she probably investigated my room number in advance, and then commissioned someone from the Equipment Department to copy my key card, right?

Fang Li learned about the Equipment Department’s special services, like copying keys to others’ rooms, only by chance. Undoubtedly, such behavior fell into the category of illegal intrusion.

Unfortunately, in Butei High, where a group of abnormal individuals gathered, such behavior was considered relatively normal, which was quite distressing to think about.

So, Fang Li asked straightforwardly, “So, what brings you to my room?”

“Nothing, I just wanted to take a look.” Aria sprawled on the sofa, swinging her small feet casually, and said nonchalantly, “After all, you’re my partner, so it’s not a problem.”

What kind of reasoning is that?

‘Yes, I am your partner, but I’m not your husband, and I’m not obligated to let you come in and out of my room as you please, right?’ Fang Li really wanted to say that, but seeing how Aria treated this place as her own, he could only sigh deeply in his heart.

When they first met, Aria gave Fang Li the impression of a very heroic Butei. Her decisive and assertive attitude made it clear just how strong she was. It was a type of inner strength.

Therefore, Fang Li always thought of Aria as a heroic character.

In fact, when Fang Li gathered information about Aria before, he also heard that in the eyes of first-year students, she seemed to be a very mature, calm, and cool Senpai.

However, after becoming Aria’s partner, Fang Li discovered that she often showed a more willful and stubborn side when facing her acquaintances.

Perhaps that was the most authentic side of Aria?

After all, she blushed rapidly when Fang Li hugged her and carried her like a princes from the aircraft, and when she asked him to be her partner, it felt like she was being willful, just like a naive Rich Ojou-Sama.

Well, it’s not wrong to say that.

As a renowned noble descendant in the United Kingdom, Aria could indeed be considered a Rich Ojou-Sama.

“Hum hum hum~~~”

Look, this Rich Ojou-Sama seems to be in a good mood, swaying her legs as she starts humming a song. Although from Fang Li’s perspective, seeing this Rich Ojou-Sama sprawled on the sofa, swinging her small feet, and inadvertently revealing the beauty under her skirt was a bit awkward.

Feeling helpless, Fang Li shrugged and tossed his backpack on the sofa. He then turned around, opened the refrigerator in the corner of the living room, and asked, “Do you want something to drink?”

“Do you have coffee?”

“I do, but it’s iced.”

“Then I don’t want it. Give me a peach bun-flavored drink instead.”

‘It would be great if they had that kind of beverage.’ Fang Li rolled his eyes and took out a bottle of fruit juice from the refrigerator, tossing it to Aria. He opened a frozen beer for himself.

“You’re drinking alcohol?” Aria, holding the juice, looked extremely surprised. “Students aren’t allowed to drink in this country, right?”

“There’s no such rule in China. I’m an exchange student, so it’s fine,” Fang Li replied with a touch of defiance. While sipping his frozen beer, he asked Aria, “Since you’re here, why don’t you tell me the investigation results of this morning’s incident?”

Fang Li hadn’t checked the investigation results of the incident yet. However, Aria seemed to have been tracking the culprit behind the scenes and intercepted the culprit’s radio message this time.

So, she must have checked the results of the investigation.

“After that, the police found the hotel room where the suspected culprit stayed, but the accommodation records had been altered externally, and the culprit left no traces behind,” Aria said, starting her explanation without any pause.

“As for the on-site investigation, there were no useful clues. According to the report, the vehicles carrying the submachine guns were all stolen, and some of them didn’t even have factory records. It can be said that there’s no loophole.”

“I guess so.” Fang Li rotated the beer can in his hand. “In this case, the culprit wouldn’t have left any evidence behind.”

“Oh?” Aria was curious. “Why are you so sure?”

“Because such incidents can’t be caused by mere copycat criminals,” Fang Li replied as he took a sip of beer.

“The culprit is a Butei Assassin, and he is a true expert.”

“The previous reports of the arrested Butei Assassin are probably a case of mistaken identity.”

As Fang Li spoke these words, Aria’s charming face froze.

Shortly after, Aria lowered her head, clenched her small hands, and her delicate shoulders began to tremble slightly.

Soon, Fang Li noticed.

On Aria’s face, teardrops started to slide down silently.
