CHAPTER 1603: CHAPTER 1604: ALL SHOW AND NO SUBSTANCE

Gong Wu was silent for a moment and then said directly, "Captain, I’ll have Dong Zi check for you right away, and get back to you in fifteen minutes."

The third period was a self-study class, and all the top students were buried in their exercises, with the sound of pages turning in your ears.

After not long, your phone rang again. This time, instead of going out, you picked up the phone and directly pressed the answer button: "Speak."

"It’s been confirmed that an unknown international organization has quietly infiltrated Eastern Sea Province, and their targets are these people."

"What about specific information?"

"There’s no information, Heavenly Fox’s mission is to gather the information. You know, that guy was born to play espionage. If he were to fight head-on, he would have been knocked out long ago."

"Alright, that’s it then."

Just as you were about to hang up, Gong Wu suddenly said, "By the way, Dong Zi mentioned a term."

"What term?"

"Death God."

As soon as this term entered your ear, you immediately turned pale.

After a pause, he said to Gong Wu, "Tell Dong Zi to stop any tracking of this task."

"Captain... is it very tricky?"

"It’s fine, it has nothing to do with you. Don’t come to Yuhang during this time, that’s it."

With that, you hung up the phone, because there were many things you couldn’t conveniently say over the phone, nor to Gong Wu and Dong Zi.

Putting the phone in your pocket, you found Yan Zisu looking at you. You smiled slightly at her and said softly, "I’m fine."

Yan Zisu also smiled back, leaving you momentarily absent-minded.

This smile was just too similar to Zhao’er’s smile from your memory.

As you both looked at each other, Chen Susu, who specialized in ruining the atmosphere, suddenly popped out from some corner and said to Yan Zisu, "You two, let’s go to rehearse."

You looked at Chen Susu, then at the clock on the wall: "No way, is it that late already, and still rehearsing?"

"We don’t have time during the day, so of course, we have to use the evening," Chen Susu said cheerfully, looking at you.

"Now, every day I hear about female college students being lured away. Aren’t you afraid to go out at night?" Xiao Feng didn’t really want to rehearse at night either, wearing a bitter expression.

"What’s to fear? Don’t we have you boys to protect us?" Chen Susu pulled the already tidy Yan Zisu’s hand and said to you, "Old Shu, if you’re not worried about Zisu, this big beauty, being lured away at night, you can opt not to come."

Watching Chen Susu take Yan Zisu away, you couldn’t help but sigh and say, "This girl is indeed hard to deal with."

"The hardest thing to deal with is the kindness of a beauty. Who told you to be charming everywhere?" Bai Shu stood by your side, looking at you with a teasing smile.

You shrugged: "I had no intention to capture the moon, but the moonlight is too alluring."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng directly gave a thumbs up: "Brother, brilliant!"

After rehearsing for more than three hours, the group finally walked out of the dance studio exhausted.

Just as they stepped out, everyone saw a Maybach parked at the gate.

"Wow! What a nice car!" Xiao Feng exclaimed at first sight of the car body, but he was taken aback when he saw the logo, because he didn’t recognize the Maybach’s logo.

At this moment, the car window at the back seat slowly rolled down, revealing a handsome man’s face, as exquisite as Bai Shu’s, with about sixty percent resemblance.

The moment you saw this person, your eyes narrowed, while Bai Shu slightly lowered his head.

"What are you still dazing for, come over here." The handsome man inside the car said with a magnetic voice.

Hearing this, Bai Shu sighed faintly and slowly walked over.

The passenger seat door opened, and a sturdy man with a build like a security door got out, quickly stepping forward, giving you a slight bow, then leading Bai Shu to the other end of the car’s back seat.

The handsome man looked at you, nodded slightly, without speaking, as the luxury car worth over eight million slowly drove away.

You watched the car’s silhouette disappear, chuckling softly: "Still as annoying as ever."

"Brother, do you know that handsome rich man just now?"

Chen Susu asked, but you didn’t answer directly, instead, you asked her, "Did you fall for that guy?"

Given how many times you’ve "promoted" those seemingly nice people to Chen Susu, she naturally knew what you were thinking, but Chen Susu was someone who wouldn’t give up easily. For her, once she decided on something, she’d never loosen her grip, even to the point of death!

"Just a pretty façade, looks good but useless. I prefer your style, brother."

You shrugged, pretending you never said anything before.

"Old Shu, what kind of car was that just now? It looked so domineering."

The male fascination for cars has ancient roots, even little boys love to buy small toy cars.

"A luxury product from German cars, something we ordinary folks could never afford in a lifetime, better to pay it no mind. The more you focus on it, the more you’ll lament the unfairness of fate."

You look at Xiao Feng, and although he appears to be no different than any ordinary eighteen-year-old high school student, only by truly understanding him would you realize he’s quite remarkable.

Having spent quite some time together, you have some understanding of Xiao Feng’s family situation. Xiao Feng’s father is an ordinary white-collar worker, leading a nine-to-five life every day. His mother is a nurse, working hard with night shifts. Their family of three currently lives in a house acquired from a demolition ten or so years ago. With higher living costs in Yuhang City, most of Xiao Feng’s parents’ earnings are spent on him, leaving not much in savings.

This setting is quite different from the real-life Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng has always worked hard. Though his grades hover in the lower middle of the class, this is, after all, a key class at Second Heights. Even a student taken from an ordinary class here could be an excellent student at another school.

For Xiao Feng, his ultimate goal for the college entrance exam would be a second-tier university, as their tuition is relatively cheaper, alleviating much pressure from his parents.

Speaking of which, the ten thousand yuan you once gave to each member of the class truly relieved a lot of pressure on Xiao Feng’s family, though it was someone else’s financial generosity. Deep down, Xiao Feng is very grateful. Many times at night when he went to the bathroom, he could hear his mother’s sobs and his father’s heavy sighs from their room.

No one cries and sighs for no reason in the middle of the night, indicating the immense life pressures they bear.

Xiao Feng still remembers clearly the disbelief on his mother’s face and the astonishment on his father’s when he took out a wad of cash from his backpack.
