Chapter 302: No Rain or Rain
Old Tang was a carefree person with nerves as thick as a horse could run. Naturally, he could not capture the flash of sadness in Fingel's eyes as keenly as Longma Xun.
Of course, it could also be because he was sitting in the back seat of Finkel's car and the only thing he could see was the guy's messy back of his head.
The two of them joked with each other and headed towards Shilan Middle School.
There was a change of plan. They had originally agreed to meet at the Regent Hotel, but that incredibly pretty girl from the preparatory class at Peking University High School suddenly showed up and forcibly expanded the stable triangle structure into a quadrilateral, so they had to change their route.
There are two main routes to Shilan Middle School. One of them is more convenient and only requires taking the viaduct to save a quarter of the time.
But Finkel was a well-known coward. How could he go to a dangerous place when he knew there was a tiger there? Naturally, he chose to take another safer and longer route.
As luck would have it, there was a traffic police inspection car on the main road of that road, and it was then that he remembered that he did not have a Chinese driver's license.
Without even him, there’s no point in counting on the two people in the back row.
Faced with this dilemma, he chose to pull over without hesitation.
What a joke! If I take a detour and take the elevated road, I might die. If I am arrested on the spot for driving without a license and put into a police car, I might also take the elevated road. No matter which choice I make, I might die.
When faced with a dilemma, others might choose to fight their way out, but Finkel would stay put and wait for rescue.
The strongest person is already in the lineup. Only an idiot would run around and break into a trap set by the enemy, then shout for help and put his teammates in danger.
Finkel never drags others down in areas other than money, life, games, and entertainment.
"What's the matter? Do you want to eat fish?" Old Tang watched Finkel park his car in front of a restaurant called Lao Mo Pickled Fish, and thought he was hungry and was going to eat on the spot.
Finkel lowered the car window and looked at the clouds gradually gathering in the sky, which were obscuring the midday sun. The nonchalant look on his face faded a little:
"Something is wrong. Ninety percent of it is wrong."
"What's wrong?" Old Tang was puzzled. He also looked up at the sky, but could not sense any danger.
"I don't know what's wrong, but it's wrong." Finkel turned on the car radio and quickly captured useful information.
There are checkpoints not only in this place, but also in many key sections of the nearby roads. It turns out that a roaming criminal gang happened to run into this city and took advantage of the boys and girls indulging in joy to commit crimes last night. The police are now making every effort to track them down.
"That's it?" It's not that Old Tang looked down on this so-called criminal gang. Not to mention that these petty thieves might just be ordinary people, even if all of them were mixed-bloods, they would not be able to survive a single round against the three of them.
"It's better to be cautious." Finkel still chose to be safe. It is easy to suffer a big loss if you act rashly without finding out the truth. This is a lesson learned through blood and tears.
"I'm a little hungry, let's eat first."
Old Tang and Longma Xun had no objection to this.
Just as they entered the restaurant and started to order food, the sky became darker and the clouds that seemed like they could rain at any time began to move again. The sky that had inexplicably started to be gloomy inexplicably began to clear up again.
Apparently, Finkel's caution helped them avoid danger.
On the other hand, Lu Mingfei also learned about the little incident that happened to Finkel and his companions on the road, and immediately told them to stay put and not move, and he would arrange for someone else to drive over.
This was a small oversight on his part. As expected, the less attention paid to a detail, the more likely it is to lead to failure, just like the most easily overlooked corners in playing chess, which often hide fatal moves.
If Finkel had not been so timid and decided to stay put without hesitation, he would have rushed to rescue people right now.
However, since the person behind the scenes has already made a move, he cannot just sit there and wait for death. According to the original plan, after they finished finding the information at Shilan Middle School, they were going to retrace Chu Zihang's path and walk on the elevated road to see if they could knock on the door of Nibelungen. Now it's just ahead of schedule.
Xia Mi still didn't know what Lu Mingfei was going to do next, and she still wanted to stay by their side like a naive little school girl.
And Lu Mingfei didn't point it out.
If Xia Mi was really just a simple mixed-race junior schoolmate, Lu Mingfei would definitely not drag her into this and would just find a random excuse to send her away.
But in his perception, Xia Mi's strength is almost as good as Eri's, and not far from Lao Tang.
Eiry is a descendant of the White King who has embarked on the road of evolution, while Lao Tang's true identity is unknown and he is suspected to be a pure-blooded dragon. Being compared with the two of them, Xia Mi's identity has to be questioned.
This suspicious junior high school girl was skipping and jumping in front like a happy little deer, not worrying at all that running and jumping after a meal would lead to gastroptosis. She was in stark contrast to Eri, who was quietly holding Lu Mingfei's hand behind her.
"Wow! Maybach!" Xia Mi suddenly rushed to the window and pressed her face against the glass: "I've never been in such a nice car!"
Lu Mingfei followed her gaze and saw a black Maybach parked quietly on the campus's boulevard. The lines of its car body were as sharp as knives, like a dormant black beast.
The sunlight flows on the paint surface, refracting a cold light.
"If you like, I'll give you the co-pilot seat."
Lu Mingfei opened the back door and let Huili get in. Then when Xia Mi walked forward and was about to say "Thank you, senior brother", he slipped into the car, closed the door, and winked at her through the car window.
Xia Mi was a step slow and failed to grab the safest and easiest position to counterattack, but she didn't feel that the other party was targeting her. She just felt that Lu Mingfei had been suppressed for too long and now he had the chance to get closer to the girl.
She turned to look at Chu Zihang and found that this unromantic blockhead had already opened the car door and got in. He was looking at her while fastening his seat belt, his eyes seemed to be saying "What are you waiting for? Get in the car now."
"Hehe, Senior Brother, am I the first girl to sit in your passenger seat?" She acted flattered, "If those senior girls who like you knew about this, they would definitely be envious.
It's a pity that your co-pilot seat cannot be auctioned, otherwise there would definitely be a lot of girls willing to bid high prices for it."
Chu Zihang didn’t know how to answer, so he could only pretend he didn’t hear it and started the car.
The engine let out a low roar, and Chu Zihang grasped the steering wheel engraved with the car logo again, but this was not the Maybach that only three people in the world could start and took him out of the Nibelungen.
The car had long been declared a total loss, with no possibility of repair or salvage.
“I didn’t realize you were also capable of being a profiteer.” Lu Mingfei joked from behind.
Although this Xia Mi's species may have changed, her personality is still exactly the same as in her previous life, like a replica of herself.
In her previous life, she often talked about selling Chu Zihang's autographed photos for money, but unfortunately she just talked about it and never put it into action.
All I can say is that this is true love. Even if life is difficult, one would not want such easily available wealth.
"Hehe, my dream is to become a millionaire." Xia Mi fastened her seat belt, crossed her arms across her chest, and forced a clear arc, looking very proud:
"If Kassel College hadn't approached me, I would have become a top student at Peking University's School of Economics the year after next, and would have embarked on the journey of beating up Buffett and stepping on the Rothschild family."
The sunlight shone through the car window onto her profile, and with that expression, she looked like a smiling lucky cat.
"Do you mean the physical punching and kicking?" Lu Mingfei poured a bucket of cold water on him without any hesitation.
Although in her previous life, Xia Mi did join the Chu Group with Chu Zihang after returning from her studies and did a great job, everyone in the outside world praised Chu Tianjiao for having a good son and a good daughter-in-law, and that the Chu Group had a bright future.
But judging from the current situation, Xia Mi’s focus will definitely no longer be on these material things.
After all, she was dressed quite simply, and there was a hint of poverty between the lines.
Damn, why is he more like his previous self?
Xia Mi ignored Lu Mingfei's teasing and turned the topic to Japan: "By the way, Senior Brother, what on earth did you go to Japan for? You didn't really just go to that person's concert to show off and say dirty words, did you?"
Now that both parties have revealed their identities, there is no need to hide anything anymore and you can naturally ask more detailed questions.
"You just finished talking nonsense, and there was the eruption of Mount Fuji and a super earthquake in Japan. The news reports said that there were no signs beforehand and it was a purely sudden disaster. But this shouldn't be just a natural disaster, right?" Xia Mi touched his chin, his eyes flashing with wisdom.
“Clap, clap, clap—” Lu Mingfei clapped his hands. “Go on, let’s see if you can guess the truth.”
Seeing his expression, Xia Mi skipped a lot of guesses and directly stated the conclusion: "I guess you went there to slay the dragon."
"Congratulations, you got the answer right, but it's a pity there is no reward." Lu Mingfei did not deny it.
Although he was not sure about Xia Mi's purpose of appearing here before, it now seems that she came here for the matter of Japan.
In other words, they came for the remains of the White King.
Since Xia Mi was able to eliminate all traces of herself at Shilan Middle School, she must have a way to get information from Japan.
Apart from anything else, even if we use the dumbest method and go directly to the secret Chinese branch of Kassel College to look for intelligence, we can also know that the White King in Japan has fallen, and it was the dragon slayer Lu Mingfei.
She had previously taken the initiative to erase Chu Zihang's memory and delete her own existence from his life, but now she suddenly appeared, took the initiative to talk to him, and even fabricated another false identity.
If this isn't some ulterior motive, what is it?
Perhaps because of the filter of his previous life, Lu Mingfei was a little suspicious that Xia Mi was lusting after Chu Zihang's body, but reality told him that it was unlikely. This girl was very smart and had her own pursuits, so it would be difficult for her to be seduced by male beauty.
Of course, this is just his guess and he dare not be arbitrary.
After getting a positive answer, Xia Mi started a series of questions, but Lu Mingfei always avoided the question and made excuses, saying that he had an agreement with Kassel College and could not disclose it.
Xia Mi didn't believe it at all. It was obvious that Lu Mingfei didn't take Kassel College and the secret party seriously, so how could he care about the agreement with them?
Even an agreement written in black and white can be torn up, let alone an oral agreement.
But since Chu Zihang was helping her to give false testimony, she gave up the idea of asking further questions.
Simple inquiries can be explained as the girl's pure curiosity. If you act too eagerly, it will easily arouse suspicion, so there is no need to rush.
Get along with each other slowly first, and then find a chance when Chu Zihang is alone and then find a way to pry him open.
Chu Zihang did not participate too much in the interaction between the two. Ever since he left school and drove the Maybach all the way towards home, the chill lingering around him became more eerie.
Today's weather is not as bad as the typhoon nights a few years ago, it's just cloudy and turning to overcast.
There were not as many vehicles at noon as during rush hour, so the journey was completely smooth. The only time I encountered a police checkpoint was when I was approaching the elevated road.
The four of them were all too young, especially Xia Mi, who looked like a minor.
If Chu Zihang had not taken the driving test last year and had always carried his car with him, he might have been suspected of being a student who was so bold as to drive without a license after the college entrance examination, and would have been detained along with his car.
Even so, the police officer confirmed it several times before finally letting us go, and reminded us not to speed or drive on the highway.
Although Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei were racing like crazy in Japan, they remained obedient and promised everything after returning home.
It was still the familiar fork in the road, but Chu Zihang did not find the entrance from that year. Highway 0 did not exist at all.
Fortunately, before setting off, he and Lu Mingfei had already identified the approximate range of Nibelungen, and there might not be only one entrance, the elevated intersection.
Chu Zihang has the mark of the Nibelung on his body. This is the mark of Odin and also a key. As long as he is within the range of the Nibelung, he can come in.
The black beast drove into the ramp and slowly climbed onto the elevated road. The atmosphere in the car gradually became solemn, mainly because of Chu Zihang. Reminiscing about the past, he couldn't help but reveal a deep desire for revenge. Although he tried his best to restrain himself, he had fought a series of battles with others in the past two days, and the murderous aura could not be suppressed and emerged.
Women's intuition is always very sharp, especially Xia Mi who was sitting next to him, so she naturally noticed his abnormality at the first time.
And soon, she realized that it was a black car!
While admiring the scenery, a certain unpleasant aura entered her range of perception.
Thin, imperceptible, but real!
Then the memories of this area came to her mind and her expression suddenly froze.
This is not a car for kindergarten!
Lu Mingfei and the idiot in the driver's seat were actually planning to cause trouble for that guy Odin!
I want to get off! Let me off now!
I'm just a junior in a preparatory class! I haven't received any professional training yet!
Xia Mi's emotions were surging, but she remained calm on the surface. She pretended to be curious and asked, "Brother, where are we going?"
“You don’t even know where you’re going, but you’re following us?” Lu Mingfei said with a smile, holding a golf bag in his hand.
"What's wrong? Can you sell me out?" Xia Mi wrinkled her nose. "It's against the law, brother."
Lu Mingfei didn't know what to say either, so he just smiled and looked away, whispering in encrypted Japanese with Eiry.
Xia Mi was a little panicked, but still calm. Even she knew about Lu Mingfei's heroic deeds, so her brother must know it clearly as well.
You should not act rashly without knowing the truth.
After all, there is not only one Avenger, one God Slayer and one evolved species on the road to becoming a god in the car, but also a great queen.
With such a luxurious lineup, even if that guy comes in person, he has to consider whether he has enough people.
While she was muttering to herself, the Maybach was speeding on the elevated road. The young man in the driver's seat was looking around like a wolf, as if he was ready to charge at the throne of God.
However, the clouds in the sky are rolling and unrolling, and there is neither wind nor rain, nor is the weather clear.
