Zhao Zhen actually came to the classroom door to find Chu Nian, smiling innocently. Coupled with her bright and beautiful features, she was truly likable.

Everyone knows she's a top student, multi-talented, and moreover, she's as beautiful as Snow White—clean, bright, and charming. Standing at the classroom door, she attracts many admiring or curious glances from the boys.

She said sweetly, "Zhuzhu, Dad said I should pick you up and take you to the school gate. Our driver is already waiting there."

Fei Sisi's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she said, "Could you also take me home?"

Chu Nian said, "Sisi, didn't we agree to go to the night market after school?" Then, under Fei Sisi's horrified gaze, she turned to Zhao Zhen and said, "Zhenzhen, let's go together!"

Zhao Zhen said, "I'm not going." After a pause, she added, "Dad said we should go home as soon as we get out of school, because you still have rehabilitation training to do."

Fei Sisi nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice, as if grasping at a straw, and said, "Yes, Zhuzhu, let's ride home together in your car, didn't you say the car was coming to pick us up!"

Chu Nian said with a distressed expression, "But you clearly promised to go to the night market with me. I've been sick so much that I've forgotten what the night market even looks like. Can't you just be kind and come with me?"

Fei Sisi's answer was rather curt: "No."

Chu Nian said, "Then I'll go by myself." Turning to Zhao Zhen, she said, "Zhenzhen, don't pay attention to Sisi. She's untrustworthy and doesn't keep her promises." With that, she turned and left without looking back, her face dark.

Since she was going to the night market, but Zhao Zhen said she didn't want to go, Fei Sisi hesitated for a long time, but finally followed her.

Before they even left the school gate, Fei Sisi started complaining, blaming her for disregarding the danger and asking if she was just curious and wanted to see what Liu Yanhong and her group were up to. She was clearly asking for trouble, and they might both be in trouble.

Chu Nian remained silent the entire way, letting her complain. The fact that this child hadn't followed Zhao Zhen to protect herself showed that her character was still good—although her nagging was a bit annoying!

Shortly after leaving the school gates, Chu Nian realized that she and her companion were being followed. Judging from the light, quick movements of the person following them, they were likely trained bodyguards. So, Liu Yanhong had directly sent bodyguards?!

She deliberately pulled Fei Sisi around a corner and onto a dark alley.

"Hey Zhuzhu, why are you taking this road? There's hardly anyone around. It's too dangerous for two girls like us." Before the other person even showed up, Fei Sisi was already trembling with fear, clutching Chu Nian's arm tightly as she spoke.

Chu Nian laughed and said, "I like dark places like this, it's adventurous!" After a pause, she added, "Aren't you afraid of ghosts?"

Fei Sisi: "What nonsense are you talking about? There's no ghost!"

Chu Nian said with a serious face: "I believe that ghosts really exist in this world."

Fei Sisi felt that Chu Nian's tone of voice was eerie and terrifying, and said urgently, "Stop joking, let's hurry up and go." She tried to quicken her pace, but Chu Nian dragged her feet and walked leisurely.

"How could you do this?" Fei Sisi asked anxiously. "What would you do if there were really bad people around?"

Before they could finish speaking, two men suddenly darted out from the alley ahead, blocking their path. These two men were tall and burly, wearing only leather vests, their exposed, thick arms covered in tattoos.

Fei Sisi was so frightened that she froze. She grabbed Chu Nian and turned to walk back, but two other tattooed men were already blocking their way behind them.

Fei Sisi shrank back, clinging tightly to Chu Nian, and whispered, "Look at you, now look what's happened! What are we going to do? Think of something!"

Chu Nian coughed lightly, put her hands in her pockets, pointed at the man with the fingerprint sensor with her chin, and asked, "Gentlemen, what's the meaning of blocking our way?"

The four men felt something was off; why did this girl in front of them seem more like a gangster than they were?

One of the tattooed men said, "Little sister, come with me. As long as you do as I say, I guarantee you'll live a life of luxury."

Chu Nian said, "But we can eat and drink well right now, why should we go with you? If you guys were handsome, that would be fine, but you're all uglier than ghosts. Two girls as good-looking as us, going with you? Ha, do you think we're blind?"

The second tattooed man roared in fury, "You brat, you've never been wronged before, otherwise you wouldn't be so bold. Today, we'll show you what's what."

Chu Nian clicked her tongue and asked somewhat helplessly, "Can you tell me the real reason you stopped us? Did someone send you?"

"Heh, little sister, as you just said, you're so good-looking. We brothers have taken a liking to you and came over to get to know you. We don't need any people to send us," a tattooed man behind him laughed.

Chu Nian crossed her arms and said calmly, "Hearing you say that, I feel like you're trying to hide something."

She handed the schoolbag to Fei Sisi, pushed her aside, and said, "Sisi, stand over there for a while."

Fei Sisi asked in a trembling voice, "What are you doing?"

Chu Nian: "Let's see how powerful they are! Didn't they say they wanted me to know how powerful they are?"

Fei Sisi was stunned: Look at you, you say it's so indifferent!

The fourth tattooed man said to the other three, "Judging from this girl's posture, she's probably trained. No wonder she's so confident."

After saying that, the four of them burst into laughter.

.

In the dark alley, the girl ran frantically toward the alley entrance. Strangely, she was carrying two backpacks, and it was as if she was being chased by a ghost. She trembled with extreme fear as she ran, and occasionally bumped into the lampposts on the side of the road.

Regardless, she escaped the alley and quickly got into a taxi parked at the intersection.

The car stopped downstairs in her apartment building. The driver, just as terrified as she was, stammered, "We're...we're here, young lady...it wasn't my fault. Please, please don't ever look for me again, sob..."

The girl smelled a strange odor coming from inside the car and realized that the driver was even more frightened than she was. He had not only started crying but had also wet himself in fear. She couldn't understand why the driver was so scared. Could it be that he could also hear Zhuzhu talking in his ear?

How is that possible?

Speaking of which, when exactly did Zhuzhu call a taxi for her?

And how did the taxi driver know where she wanted to go? She just realized that when she got in the car, Zhu Zhu was urging her to hurry up, and she didn't have time to say the address.

That driver is amazing; he got to her apartment building in just a few minutes. She must have been terrified.

The girl, Fei Sisi, quickly threw the fare to the driver, opened the car door, and ran away.
