Chapter 125: The Man Who Doesn’t Lie

Back at the apartment, Long Tian came to greet him. “What just happened?”
“Dracula is here!” Ye Feng shrugged.
“Did he escape?” Seeing Ye Feng still looking worried, Long Tian asked curiously.
“Although there’s no proof he’s innocent, it seems unlikely he’s one of the Men in Black Cloaks. He doesn’t seem to know what happened at the Ghost Market.” Ye Feng shook his head helplessly. “He told me there are only two vampire counts on Earth—him and Nikola. So one of the murderers must be him or Nikola.”
“But Nikola was injured so badly by me—how could he be the killer?” Long Tian looked puzzled.
“It seems one of them, him or Nikola, is acting against us. Either of them could be the murderer!” Ye Feng frowned deeply.
Just then, the doorbell rang at the apartment entrance.
Ye Feng gave Long Tian a strange look. It was already past 10 p.m., and most people were asleep. He couldn’t think of who might be visiting at this hour.
Through the peephole, Ye Feng saw Mu Rong standing at the door, hands behind her back, waiting patiently.
He opened the door. “Mu Rong, what’s the matter?”
“A friend told me that someone might cause you trouble. I happened to be by, so I came to give you a warning!” Mu Rong’s face turned slightly red.
“Come in!” Ye Feng stepped back and opened the door wide.
“My friend…” Mu Rong glanced behind her, and a stylishly dressed young man emerged from the darkness.
Ye Feng immediately recognized that the young man was a vampire. He frowned slightly. “Come in together!”
The young vampire wasn’t polite at all. He sized up Ye Feng from head to toe. “Are you Ye Feng?”
“That’s right. And who are you?” Ye Feng wasn’t curious about who knew him, as almost all non-humans in City H knew him by now.
“I’m Wang Dong, a vampire!” The young man extended his right hand.
Ye Feng wasn’t expecting Wang Dong to reveal his identity so easily. After a brief pause, he shook his hand and nodded. “Come in and sit down!”
Mu Rong followed Wang Dong into the apartment.
“Why did you come here so late? What’s the matter?” Ye Feng poured tea for them.
“Dracula wants to cause you trouble!” Wang Dong said bluntly.

“How do you know?” Ye Feng didn’t expect Wang Dong to be aware of such things.
“Because he’s the one who gave me my first embrace. As long as he’s within Z Province, I can almost sense his presence, let alone the fact that he’s now in H City. Besides, after he arrived in H City, he came to see me and asked some questions about you.” Wang Dong spat out his chewing gum, took a sip of tea to rinse his mouth, then swallowed it.
“He just came to see me!” Ye Feng looked at Wang Dong with anticipation. “You said earlier that you can sense his presence as long as he’s in Z Province?”
“That’s right! After the first embrace, I can be considered his descendant—something like a human blood relationship.” Wang Dong nodded and then asked, “Did he cause you any trouble when he arrived?”
“No, we just had a brief conversation,” Ye Feng said with a smile. “I want to know how many times he’s been to H City in recent years. You should know that, right?”
“Not once. As far as I know, after giving me my first embrace, he hasn’t been back. It’s been almost ten years!” Wang Dong didn’t hide anything.
“Are you sure this feeling is accurate?” Ye Feng stared intently at Wang Dong, trying to read something from his face.
“It can’t be wrong. I sensed his presence as soon as he got off the plane this time.” Wang Dong seemed unimpressed.
Ye Feng glanced at Long Tian and the others; he already had plans in mind.
Long Tian stood silently aside for a while before looking at Mu Rong and Wang Dong. “May I ask how the two of you met?”
“That day, I was just visiting H City for tourism. I got on the wrong bus and got off at the wrong stop. I happened to meet Wang Dong coming out of a restaurant, so I asked him for directions…” Mu Rong said shyly. “Later, he drove me to the scenic area…”
“Well, that’s fate!” Long Tian teased.
“Actually, I only told her because I heard from Mu Rong that you’re her friends. After she found out, she pulled me along and asked me to explain everything to you. I’m not good at refusing requests from beautiful women, so I had no choice but to agree. Now that the message has been delivered and I’ve answered all your questions, I’ll take my leave.” Wang Dong knew that Ye Feng and the others would never fully believe what he said, but he also understood it was only natural. After all, he was just a stranger, and it was normal for them to be cautious.

“Anyway, I have to thank you for coming all this way!” Ye Feng wore an apologetic smile before turning to Mu Rong, who was standing next to Wang Dong. “Thank you too! Come often if you have time in the future!”
After seeing Mu Rong and Wang Dong off, Ye Feng turned to Long Tian. “What do you think? Is what Wang Dong said believable?”
“I’ve actually heard of Wang Dong before. He’s a second-generation rich heir. But he’s not an ordinary one—he has master-level skills in music and painting and is among the best among young people in the country. Many wealthy businessmen invite him to play piano at their parties, charging hundreds of thousands each time. Part of the reason is that his father is a major business figure in Province Z, and the other part is because he truly has talent. Many top experts in the country even call him a genius.” Long Tian clearly knew quite a bit about this second-generation rich heir. “There’s also a rumor about him—that he seems to never lie. But it’s hard to tell how true that rumor is.”
“Never lie? That’s quite difficult to achieve…” Ye Feng shook his head with a wry smile after hearing this.
“It’s said that his ideal is to be a perfect person, so he gives up the bad habit of lying. He either stays silent or tells the truth, no matter how ugly it may be.” Long Tian found this theory amusing.
“Oh, I didn’t expect him to be such a legendary figure!” Ye Feng shook his head smiling. He always remained skeptical about such rumors, as they didn’t prove that Wang Dong couldn’t lie. “Let’s wait and see how things develop!”
