Chapter 28 An Encounter on the Bus

Livin Garden.

Qiu Ling opened her laptop, logged into her email, opened an email sent by a colleague, and downloaded the attachment.

A short clip of surveillance video was downloaded.

When Qiu Ling clicked on it, she saw her own figure walking through the camera lens.

Then she saw the woman who was following her.

However, because she was wearing a sun hat, the upper half of her face was barely visible from the angle of the camera.

Qiu Ling stared at the video screen in confusion. Just as the woman suddenly turned around, Qiu Ling stepped back, paused, and adjusted the view several times before finally stopping on the woman's exposed profile.

It looks somewhat familiar.

It feels like I've seen it somewhere before.

But it wasn't someone she could recognize at a glance.

who is she?

Why should I follow her?

Qiu Ling frowned and continued playing, watching the next scene.

Then, she suddenly turned around, crossed the road, and ran into a shadowy alley between buildings on the other side.

The person has disappeared.

That's really strange.

Lu Yanhe had mentioned this to her before, but Qiu Ling didn't take it too seriously. In her opinion, it was probably just someone trying to get revenge on her. She just needed to get the surveillance footage from her colleagues and find out who it was.

However, she felt that this person looked familiar, but she didn't know him.

Qiu Ling couldn't understand why she wanted to follow her.

Qiu Ling went through each case one by one, but even when she got to the case from two years ago, she had no clue whatsoever.

After Lu Yanhe and the other two returned home, Lu Yanhe first took a shower, dried his hair, and then sat back down at the table to continue working on his problems.

The events of that night lingered in his mind, and the image of that strange woman's eyes would flash through his mind from time to time.

He felt that something was wrong.

However, I can't figure out exactly what's wrong.

After finishing a set of English exercises, Lu Yanhe picked up "A Global History" and sat on the bed as bedtime reading. After reading for about twenty minutes, his eyelids started to droop.

Tuesday.

At six o'clock in the morning, Lu Yanhe got up on time, washed up, got dressed, changed his shoes, put on his schoolbag and went out.

Yan Liang has now gotten used to Lu Yanhe going to school every day.

Previously, it seemed unlikely that Lu Yanhe's enthusiasm for learning would last long, but now it appears that it might continue for an extended period.

Yan Liang thought this was fine too.

Although Zhou Ping'an has never said it, it is clear that after the group disbands, the company will abandon some members and focus on supporting and cultivating a few others.

Judging from the resources the company is currently providing for them, he has at least one public appearance per week, whether it's recording a program or performing at a commercial event.

After temporarily avoiding the limelight, Li Zhibai was assigned other work.

Lu Yanhe, however, was not given any job.

Actually, if it were a month ago, Yan Liang would have thought this was normal. Even if the company gave Lu Yanhe an opportunity, Lu Yanhe wouldn't be able to seize it. He neither knew how to respond to jokes nor throw out jokes, and he had no presence at all. No matter what event he participated in or what program he recorded, he spoke so little that people couldn't remember him at all.

However, after these past two weeks, Yan Liang's opinion of Lu Yanhe has changed, and he has gained a different understanding of him.

If Lu Yanhe were to record the show now, he would probably get a very good response, right?

The audience may also notice him.

Lu Yanhe is actually very handsome, but he was too timid before and didn't dare to raise his head, which made the camera reluctant to cut to him.

The current Lu Yanhe is sunny, cheerful, and his laughter exudes a calm and carefree vitality.

Yan Liangdu felt that standing next to him, he himself became the less cheerful one.

However, only he and Li Zhibai knew about these things; Zhou Pingan and the other members of the group were unaware.

Almost no one knew about the changes in Lu Yanhe.

Yan Liang hesitated whether to mention it to Zhou Ping'an and see if Zhou Ping'an could arrange another opportunity for Lu Yanhe to appear on the show.

The reason he hesitated was that he knew how rare these opportunities were. He himself would find it difficult to actively strive for them, so where would he get the confidence to strive for them for Lu Yanhe?

Zhou Ping'an is not an easy agent to talk to.

The best impression Yan Liang left on the company was that he was obedient and hardworking.

He didn't want it to affect him either.

However, Yan Liang found it hard to accept that Lu Yanhe had completely lost his chance.

What should we do?

I hope Lu Yanhe can really get into Yuming or Zhenhua University.

He can regain the company's support and cultivation by relying on this one thing.

An artist who genuinely earned his place in Yuming and Zhenhua through his own merit is an asset to the company simply by existing.

But that's simply impossible.

Even if Lu Yanhe makes it into the top 300 in the grade this time, it's because the bottom 200 are basically all academic underachievers who rely on guessing for most of the exams, which is why they made such a big improvement. The higher you go, the more academic superstars there are. What can Lu Yanhe use to compare with these people who have worked hard and achieved excellent grades since childhood?

Yan Liang thought about it and couldn't help but sigh.

-

Lu Yanhe had no idea that Yan Liang was worried about his future early in the morning.

While riding the bus, he was also seriously thinking about how to catch up on the three humanities subjects.

Actually, if it weren't for the fact that he was worried about suddenly switching from humanities to science in his senior year of high school, which seemed too unbelievable—after all, in his junior year when he had to choose between humanities and science, his past scores in the three science subjects were all extremely low, only 20 or 30 points—he would have wanted to switch to science.

Humanities subjects rely heavily on accumulation, unlike science subjects.

Lu Yanhe could only organize and summarize the test papers he had taken, deduce the knowledge points from the questions, and then fill in the gaps in his knowledge.

Fortunately, he believed he had developed a learning mindset and knew how to improve his scores with the highest efficiency.

At the same time, he was also grateful that he had a smartphone, which allowed him to search for information online.

If he were to transmigrate into the body of a student who doesn't even have a cell phone or computer, or can't even afford reference books, he doesn't know how he would cope with such a horrific start.

Lu Yanhe usually wears headphones on the bus, mainly to listen to English.

The buses at this time of day are not crowded; the seats are not full.

As Lu Yanhe was listening to the English and translating it into Chinese in his mind, the bus stopped.

Lu Yanhe was stunned when he saw people boarding the bus from the front door. His eyes widened.

It turned out to be the woman who had been following Qiu Ling yesterday.

Lu Yanhe immediately lowered his head, pretending not to see anything. However, the carriage was only so big, and it wasn't rush hour yet, so there were very few people. As the woman walked to the back, she immediately saw Lu Yanhe.

Lu Yanhe noticed that the woman's gaze had fallen on him.

Just as he was debating whether to continue pretending not to see her, the woman walked straight to the seat in front of him and sat down.

Lu Yanhe looked at her in surprise.

Then something even more unexpected happened.

A burly man in a black T-shirt followed her over and sat down next to her.

"Where do you think you can run to?"

The man lowered his voice and spoke to the woman.

Lu Yanhe was stunned for a long time before he could react. What was going on?
