Chapter 89: Chapter 89 Picking Someone Up

She took off her white coat and saw the scene in the video switch to a familiar street, rendering Rong Zhi silent.

His face wasn’t visible, only the man’s lazy yet wanton voice could be heard, "At little brother’s hometown, huh? Won’t little brother come to pick me up? The townspeople here are so fierce, they look like they’re going to drag me away."

"What are you doing here?"

Bai Su turned the camera back, his refined and charming handsome face filled the screen, with a lazy curve at the corner of his lips, "As the saying goes, once a teacher, always responsible. As a teacher, I’m concerned about my students, so of course, I had to make a home visit."

"Little brother," Bai Su pulled up his collar, buried his chin into it, and blinked with those watery, enchanting eyes, looking quite pitiful, "It’s really cold outside. Since I’m already here, can you bear to see me sleeping on the street?"

Rong Zhi decisively pressed the red button.

He wasn’t short of money; there were inns on the street, and spending a night wouldn’t cost much.

Fu Liang placed the petri dish properly, glanced at her sideways, showing a kind smile on his amiable face, characteristic of an elder, "Teacher? The private tutor that the Rong Family found for you?"

Rong Zhi: "Yes."

Fu Liang furrowed his brow, "It’s not safe outside this late at night. Your teacher came all this way, it’s not right to leave him hanging there, it would seem impolite of us."

Rong Zhi was silent, so Fu Liang stopped speaking upon seeing her in this manner.

A moment later, she pinched her knuckles, feeling somewhat helpless, "Don’t wait for me for dinner."

Fu Liang was puzzled, "What’s wrong?"

Rong Zhi said indifferently, "Going to pick someone up."

...

Luoxia Town really wasn’t safe after dark.

In just the few minutes Bai Su stood on the street, two groups of hooligans passed by him, their eyes filled with greedy cunning as they looked at his car.

Bai Su poked the screen that automatically jumped to the chat box, opened the emoji panel, and sent several to the other side.

After sending, he pocketed his phone and planned to ask around if anyone nearby knew where the Rong Family’s place was.

He locked his car, found a grocery store still lit, and walked in.

The grocery store wasn’t big, with only a few snacks and gum on the counter. The lady boss was sitting at the back watching a drama, not even looking up at the sound of someone entering, clearly used to it.

Bai Su didn’t walk further in; he stood at the counter, picked up a pack of gum, and his peripheral vision caught something on the shelf, but he quickly retracted his gaze without a change in expression.

"Boss."

The boss, engrossed in the TV, lifted her head perfunctorily, and was immediately struck by an unearthly handsome face. Her small eyes instantly lit up, and her tone turned much more enthusiastic, "Hey hey, yes, you’re paying, right? The gum is five yuan."

Bai Su nodded, scanned the nearby WeChat QR code to pay, and asked in passing, "Boss, can I ask you a question?"

The lady boss beamed, "Sure, sure, go ahead!"

"Do you know where the house of a young person named Rong Zhi in town is?"

The lady boss’s smile disappeared at a visible speed.

She scrutinized Bai Su with a suspicious glare and asked with a hostile tone, "Why are you looking for Rong Zhi?"

Before Bai Su could answer, she continued disdainfully and contemptuously, with a hint of a warning, "Although I don’t know why you’re looking for that freak Rong Zhi, I advise you not to contact her."

Bai Su’s gaze paused slightly, "Hmm?"

Seeing that he truly wasn’t aware, the lady boss explained patiently, "She’s really eerie. Rong Wei’s family used to be doing well, but they started having bad luck after she returned. A master gave her a fate reading, saying she’s a calamity-bringing weirdo. Didn’t the Rong Family have a fire three years ago because of her, which destroyed their house and led to familial ruin?"

The lady boss clicked her tongue repeatedly, feeling sorry for the Rong Family’s misfortune, but her eyes revealed a bizarre excitement.

"Fortunately, that monster isn’t a townsperson, or else our town would be ruined by her too, wouldn’t it?"

She glanced at Bai Su, offering a piece of advice out of kindness, "And don’t ask me, I don’t know. In short, if you don’t want bad luck, stay far away from her."

"Stay far away from whom?"

A particularly distinctive voice sounded from the doorway.

The lady boss turned upon hearing the voice, and upon seeing the figure entering, her whole body stiffened instantly. Her small eyes widened several times in fear, and she pointed at the newcomer and shouted, "Rong Zhi!"

Rong Zhi lazily lifted her fox-like eyes, glanced at the lady boss’s finger, and her chin lifted slightly, "Shouting so loud, want to flip the roof? Also, the hand."

"You monster! How can you still have the face to come back?" The lady boss withdrew her finger when Rong Zhi stared at her, feeling as scared as she had been exuberant earlier.

Rong Zhi said with little emotional fluctuation, "Is it any of your business?"

The lady boss truly had no say over her.

However, that didn’t stop her from picking up whatever was handy nearby in a fit of anger and throwing it, "Monster, get out! Get out of my store, get out of Luoxia Town!"

A black object flew towards her face.

Rong Zhi moved slightly as if to dodge, but suddenly a hand reached out in front of her and casually smacked the black object back with what seemed to be more force than the lady boss had used to throw it, and Rong Zhi could even hear a "whoosh" sound.

The next moment.

The lady boss’s scream really shook the roof.

Bai Su weighed the gum in his hand, looked at the lady boss’s left nostril bleeding from being hit by a phone, raised his eyebrows slightly, tossed the gum into the air, and then flicked his finger, sending the gum flying accurately towards her right nostril.

Another scream.

The lady boss’s nostrils were blossoming with blood.

Bai Su tilted his enchanting eyes, with the corner bending joyfully, "What does little brother think, should we smash her mouth too? After all, this mouth doesn’t speak human words, keeping it is just a waste of food."

Rong Zhi’s face was indifferent, but the corner of her lips suddenly lifted, her smile cold and roguish, "Sure."

A few minutes later.

Rong Zhi, with a lollipop in her mouth and a weary expression, walked out slowly.

Bai Su walked alongside her.

The grocery store behind them still had its lights on, but the lady boss, who should have been at the counter, was nowhere to be seen.

It wasn’t until someone else entered the store afterward that they found the lady boss lying on the floor, her face covered in blood, scaring the newcomer into calling for someone to take her away.

But when they reached the town clinic, the doctor found that the only thing wrong with her was a nosebleed from hitting something, and there were no other issues on her body.

...

Four thugs were gathered around the conspicuous Audi, whispering and gesturing at it.

"Hey, how should we do this? Smash the car window, climb in, and drive it away, or pick the lock?"

"The window can’t be smashed, I just tried it, it’s very sturdy, hard to break."

"Then we can only pick the lock. Come on, Goudan, bring my wire over, we have to get this car back, it looks valuable, selling its parts should be enough for us to have fun for a month!"

A black motorcycle was also parked next to the Audi, and the group of thugs was eyeing it too.

Dazhao, who was gearing up to pick the lock, held the wire, finding the right angle, and kept muttering, "We’re really lucky tonight! This motorcycle looks great too, Old Chen will definitely take it as scrap..."

He kept talking to himself for a long time, while it stayed silent around him, none of his accomplices uttered a word.

Dazhao grew impatient with the lock after tinkering with it for a while and kicked the Audi in frustration, "What kind of junk car is this?! Why can’t the lock be picked?"

"Need me to help you with that?"

Having someone help would obviously be great!

Without thinking, Dazhao replied, "Sure, you help me...."
