"Goodbye, Jiangcheng." Ke Bing smiled and waved to him from the school gate.
"Hmm..." he replied.
Then, when I turned around, I felt a pair of eyes staring at me.
The murderous intent in his eyes sent a shiver down his spine.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Jiang Cheng asked Zhao Xuerou, shrinking back.
"You seem quite happy? You practically have eyes for her. What? Do you like Ke Bing?" Zhao Xuerou smiled sinisterly, her tone sarcastic.
"No, what does it matter to you whether I like it or not? You're being nosy." Jiang Cheng raised an eyebrow, turned around, and left.
She was so angry that her fingers trembled on the spot.
But there was nothing they could do!
I could only calm myself down by taking deep breaths.
Just then, a sycophant who had always liked Zhao Xuerou walked over and asked her with a look of surprise.
"Xue Rou, what are you doing here?"
Those accompanying him, upon hearing the title "Xue Rou," found it quite endearing.
Is there something more between the brother and the school beauty?
She immediately cast an envious glance at the little boy.
The little boy was smug and ready to show off his charm to his friends.
Zhao Xuerou turned her face around, but her expression was as cold as ice, completely different from what he had imagined.
"Get lost, don't bother me!" she snapped coldly.
He left the school gate directly and went to find Liu Mengke, who was not far away.
The boy was left looking embarrassed, unsure how to handle the situation.
As she turned a corner, Ke Bing was still reminiscing about what had happened that day. She was very happy that things had finally been resolved perfectly.
She no longer has to worry about her life being completely turned upside down.
No more tossing and turning through the long nights.
The image of herself and Jiang Cheng in that strange pose, surrounded by more than a dozen people, flashed through her mind.
Ke Bing blushed instantly.
However, a car that appeared in front of her made her face turn deathly pale instantly.
It was my father's car.
She hadn't expected him to come pick her up today.
Ke Bing opened the car door and got in.
In the rearview mirror, there was still that sharp gaze, with an all-seeing edge and a hint of madness.
The middle-aged man did not rush to start the car, but slowly asked a question.
How was your day?
What seemed like a caring remark instantly put Ke Bing on high alert.
She quickly took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, and said, "I had my advisor's class this morning... the third period was a lab class... I had curry rice for lunch."
No matter how small the matter.
She recounted almost everything she had done that day to her father, like a report.
This is absolutely terrifying.
It seemed that everything she did had to be under her father's control, and she couldn't go astray in the slightest.
Ke Bing was actually a little guilty when she spoke, and she omitted some things. Normally, she would never dare to lie.
But because of what happened with Jiang Cheng today, if my father finds out, I don't know what kind of treatment I will receive, and Jiang Cheng may also be in danger.
Thinking of the hideous wound on his back, Ke Bing shuddered.
She maintained a calm and composed demeanor, making her behavior appear no different from usual.
After she finished speaking, her father looked at her again, his gaze extremely oppressive.
"You're not lying, are you?"
"Bing'er dares not..."
"That's good."
The middle-aged man glanced at the time on his expensive watch, started the car, and sped off towards the suburbs.
······
Night slowly fell upon Lanjing.
It was past eight o'clock, and Jiang Cheng had finished his dinner.
Surprisingly, he came downstairs to the senior citizens' fitness equipment and started exercising with great seriousness.
He wasn't just bored; he was waiting for someone.
A man in a suit walked out of the residential compound; his car was parked outside.
He habitually adjusted his glasses, then his gaze fell on the exercise equipment, where he saw Jiang Cheng.
The two were in perfect sync and didn't say a word.
You Lixuan slowly approached, "What's wrong?"
"Can you help me investigate someone?"
"As long as it's in Lanjing, I can do it."
"Alright, Ke Bing from the Biotechnology Department, the new transfer student."
"You want to investigate this girl?"
"No, when I checked her family background, I found something strange..."
You Lixuan agreed almost without hesitation, without even asking Jiang Cheng why he needed to investigate a girl's family.
The reason why the high-ranking officials in Lanjing City are so popular is precisely because of this.
He never asks an extra question, and he always gets things done efficiently.
After he left, Jiang Cheng looked up at the sky, which was filled with stars, vast and boundless.
In contrast, the boy felt very depressed.
What is that girl covered in scars going through in the darkness of night?
He felt inexplicably sad.
A thousand people, each with a different story.
Ke Bing's story seems to be even more painful.
It took less than half an hour to meet You Lixuan in Jiangcheng.
The relevant personnel then investigated Ke Bing's family situation.
You Lixuan contacted Jiang Cheng by phone.
"We found out. Ke Bing used to attend university in Fengzhou. Three months ago, she was expelled for taking explicit photos in the classroom. After that, her father spent a lot of money to buy her a place at Lanjing Science and Technology College. She is currently a temporary student. She comes from a single-parent family and is adopted. She and her father are not related by blood."
