When picking up the car, Xu Zhi suddenly said to Chen Yao: "You followed me and took a taxi."
There was a hint of disbelief in his tone.
Chen Yao explained: "I don't have a car, so I took a taxi temporarily. I thought this was a rare opportunity. If I missed this time, I wouldn't know when I would see you again, so I followed you."
Xu Zhi's eyes flashed. "I really did find you following me. But how did you know where my car was? Even the place where you were waiting was very... how should I put it? Precise."
What he was wondering was whether the salesperson had already sold all his personal information.
Chen Yao smiled awkwardly, "Brother, since we may have to cooperate in the future, why don't we stop asking for details? Please let me go."
Xu Zhi opened the car door and said simply, "Okay, then I won't ask any more questions. Let's get in the car."
…
When Chen Yao successfully got into the car, the system was still praising her foresight and wit.
It knows that no matter what its host does, it will be stable.
If you say you can take Xu Zhi’s car back, you will definitely be able to do so.
Chen Yao ignored his self-absorption and only watched Xu Zhi casually change his route. She asked in an ambiguous tone, "Did you do that on purpose? Did you deliberately take such a bad road?"
Xu Zhi: "Well, my car has been modified, so it can withstand more shocks, but it's hard to say about the taxi you took."
Chen Yao: ...
Good boy, you did it on purpose.
"Are you in the audience today?" Xu Zhi suddenly asked.
"Yes, I watched your entire match from the audience." Chen Yao replied.
"Which section are you sitting in?" he continued to ask.
"Yes, ah, I don't remember clearly." Chen Yao said vaguely. She was not the only one watching the game at that time. Zhou Cheng's confidant was also there. It would be better to say less, so as not to reveal anything and cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
"Yeah." Xu Zhi didn't ask any further.
Chen Yao changed the subject, staring at the desolate road ahead and asked, "Where are we going to talk now?"
Xu Zhi: "I've thought about it. It's too late now. I should go back and have a good rest. We can talk about it tomorrow."
Chen Yao: "Alright, then just drop me off near Xiyuan Road later."
According to the arrangement of Zhou Cheng's confidant, she temporarily stayed in a hotel over there.
Xu Zhi was a little surprised: "You live there?"
Chen Yao: "Yeah, what's wrong?"
Xu Zhi turned the steering wheel and reminded her, "It's a bit messy over there."
Chen Yao smiled and said casually: "I know, but the hotel prices over there are not bad, they are relatively cheap."
Xu Zhi paused. "Stay in a hotel? You're not a local?"
Chen Yao: "I don't think so. To be honest, I don't even know where I'm from. After all, I've been to several orphanages in different cities since I was a child."
This is actually a fake background specially arranged for her by the Federal Security Organization. She must maintain this personality before officially restoring her identity.
Hearing this, Xu Zhi's eyes flickered slightly, and his fingertips moved unconsciously, tapping irregularly on the steering wheel. It was unknown what he was thinking.
…
As soon as we arrived at Xiyuan Road, the car pulled over.
After Chen Yao and Xu Zhi added each other on WeChat and changed the notes, they also made an appointment to meet tomorrow.
"Let's do it at noon, around 12:30. I'll send you the location later. I'll treat you to a meal, and we can talk while we eat." Xu Zhi said.
Chen Yao glanced at her phone. It was already past four in the morning. She would go back, take a shower and sleep until noon.
"Okay, then I'll go back first." Chen Yao said as she was about to get off the car.
"Wait—" Xu Zhi stopped her, then took out a very thick and heavy stack of banknotes from somewhere and handed it to her, "If you don't want to stay in a hotel in this area, you can change it anytime."
Chen Yao smiled but didn't accept it. "I appreciate your kindness, but it's really not necessary."
After saying that, she got out of the car, closed the door, and waved to him before turning around and leaving.
After she left, Xu Zhi did not drive away immediately.
Instead, he first pulled down the mirror on the main driver's seat and took a careful look at his chin and neck. After a long while, he let out a sigh-like "hiss" and whispered, "I didn't expect it would leave such obvious marks..."
It seems that I really need to apply some ointment when I get home, otherwise I won’t be able to see anyone tomorrow.
Thinking of this, the scene at that time inevitably emerged in his mind. He was flipped to the ground by an irresistible force, and then -
His body felt heavy, and his lower jaw and neck felt tight and painful. His eyes, which had turned slightly red with anger, stared at him fiercely.
He actually didn't quite understand why, when he met those eyes, his limbs and bones inexplicably emitted an irresistible feeling of powerlessness, as if he was shocked and wanted to surrender.
Very strange...
Not to mention that he had never felt this way before, there were only a few people who could suppress him like that.
Moreover, the girl's skills were terrifyingly strong, with her momentum and strength being the most prominent. However, her techniques were also very wild. She didn't look like a martial artist from a traditional background, but more like... a talented player who took a wild path.
This kind of people are absolutely strong no matter where they are.
After Chen Yao returned to the hotel, before she gave any instructions, the system had already consciously cleaned every corner of the room with the "Brand New" props, and also skillfully replaced the hotel sets on the bed with high-quality products prepared by the backend to ensure that the host could sleep better and more peacefully.
After taking a quick shower, Chen Yao fell asleep almost as soon as she touched the bed. At the moment when she closed her eyes and fell into a daze, she did not forget to say thank you to the system.
The system smiled, considerately tucked the quilt for her, and adjusted the air conditioning temperature in the room to ensure a better sleeping environment.
