The next moment, that anxious emotion turned into words:
"Then please hurry up a bit."
He looked really anxious.
The two quickened their pace and walked out of the school. Seeing that Eve had no intention of leaving, the transfer student sighed slightly and then turned in a certain direction.
At an intersection, a car drove over, splashing water, and stopped by the roadside. The window was rolled down, revealing a middle-aged face with an unshaved beard.
The expression on that face was very complicated. According to the color palette, it was about 20% surprise, 20% relief, and 60% humility.
This expression is very rare when a middle-aged person faces a teenager.
But the next moment he saw Eve, that humility disappeared just in time.
The car door opened, and a middle-aged man in a gray suit got out, holding up a large umbrella and came to the two of them, but the car drove away quickly.
The suit looked like an exquisite sack on the middle-aged man, and a strange aura emanated from him. Eve instinctively thought that if her father were here, he would definitely check the man's identity.
"Thanks."
El turned his head to look at Eve:
"Someone is here to pick me up."
He came under the bigger umbrella, as if watching Eve leave.
The girl looked at the middle-aged man who seemed a little strange, and asked casually:
"May I ask who you are?"
"Ah, I'm El's father, uh uh uh!"
The expression on his face twitched, and Eve got the unexpected but reasonable answer, and planned to wait for the red light and leave.
"Goodbye~"
The young man and the middle-aged man waved their hands, one with a cold face and the other with a warm face, then turned and walked towards an alley.
In the rain, Eve looked in that direction and saw two ruffian young men standing on both sides of the alley waiting for the arrival of El and the middle-aged man. A flash of lightning flashed by, and Eve saw that there seemed to be something bulging under their coats.
not good!
All the unreasonable things are explained at this moment, and all the inconsistencies make sense!
Detective Eve understood everything:
El or his family must have owed a huge debt, or someone must have held something against them.
The reason why the transfer student is so elusive is that he is trying to avoid these creditors who are obviously not good people!
If it weren't for her, El might have been able to escape today, but it was precisely because of her tracking that her classmate fell into the hands of the bad guys.
It must be like this!
At this moment, Eve's sense of justice directly took over her mind. As the daughter of an old sheriff, she must stop this from happening!
In the distance, El and the other four had disappeared at the entrance of the alley. Eve was running with big strides. The sound of the rain hitting the ground, the sound of her shoes stepping into puddles, the girl's panting due to anxiety and exercise, and the dull sound of beating coming from the alley in the distance mixed together, constantly stepping on the accelerator of her already violently beating heart.
"You like being a dad, don't you?"
A low shout reached Eve's ears through the rain with extremely distorted sound quality. Before she could think much, she ran to the entrance of the alley and shouted while looking inside:
"stop!"
Four pairs of eyes looked over at the same time.
“Pah.”
The only sound in the quiet alley was the sound of an umbrella falling to the ground...
Many years later, facing the thugs of Ash Security Company who all have correspondence undergraduate degrees, Research Director Eve will remember the distant rainy night when El beat three of his men into the wall.

"Hey, how's your plan going? Did it succeed?"
Eve's friend asked quietly, poking her shoulder gently.
“…It’s hard to say.”
Eve gave a somewhat conflicted and perfunctory answer.
"That means it didn't work. It looks like it's going to rain today. Do you still want to continue?"
The other girl looked up at the sky and asked about her friend.
"Forget it. I recently found a part-time job after school and don't have time to do this."
Eve hesitated for two seconds and then explained.
"Wow, what does it do?"
Curiosity suddenly appeared in her friend's eyes. Eve subconsciously avoided that gaze, organized her words and answered hesitantly:
"So... a tutor?"
