Liu Miaomiao was silent for a moment, then asked, "...Does Senior Brother Chu have a girlfriend at Kassel College?"
"Gu Ran said that although Senior Brother Chu doesn't have a girlfriend, he has someone in his heart. You can still be a fangirl like before, because many people like Senior Brother Chu, but don't let your heart get involved. He won't like you."
Su Xiaoqiang knew that everyone at Kassel College was of mixed race. If Liu Miaomiao fell for him and they were mutually in love, that would be fine, but Chu Zihang's heart wasn't with her at all.
Thinking of this, Su Xiaoqiang felt incredibly lucky. Fortunately, she had taken the initiative to pursue Gu Ran, and Gu Ran liked her too.
Otherwise, she would be missing out on a relationship now.
Love can indeed happen unexpectedly; when it comes to fate, you can only let things take their course.
Liu Miaomiao knew that she couldn't force it, and sighed softly in her heart.
The two best friends chatted for a while longer, but Su Xiaoqiang only started the car, turned on the air conditioning, and blew in the cold air, but didn't step on the gas pedal to drive away.
"Why aren't you leaving yet?" Liu Miaomiao asked.
"Let's take another look." Su Xiaoqiang pulled up the car's handbrake, then placed both hands on the steering wheel and looked across the road.
Across the street is the pizza shop they came from.
Since Zhao Menghua had already paid the bill, the students in the private room gradually came out, preparing to find a place to continue their entertainment.
Zhao Menghua walked ahead without saying a word, while Wang Meimei walked beside him, looking at the engagement ring on her hand with a smile on her face.
She has a good ability to regulate her emotions and was not affected by Su Xiaoqiang's appearance.
Anyway, she knows she's no match for her, so why bother worrying unnecessarily!
The rest of the people surrounded the two of them, chattering away like gangsters strolling around.
Chen Wenwen followed at the back, her white cotton dress shining even brighter in the sunlight, like a white lotus under the blazing sun, her swaying steps pure and beautiful.
But tears were streaming down her face, making her look pitiful and endearing.
Someone reminded Zhao Menghua that Chen Wenwen was crying, and Zhao Menghua angrily retorted, "Is this ever going to end?"
He didn't turn around when he said that, but everyone knew who he was talking about.
"Chen Wenwen is so pitiful." Liu Miaomiao, sitting in the passenger seat, tugged at Su Xiaoqiang's arm with a hint of pity and said, "Let's help her!"
"I've already helped her. I just told her that there's no need to linger on that kind of scumbag. She should just turn around and leave. Besides, they've already broken up, so why act like a resentful woman, all sad and miserable?"
Su Xiaoqiang leaned back in her seat, arms crossed, expressionless.
“Not everyone is as strong as you.” Liu Miaomiao shook Su Xiaoqiang’s arm. “You should help her, or drive over and pick her up. It’s easy for her to get heatstroke in this hot sun.”
“Wait a little longer,” Su Xiaoqiang said. “Gu Ran said that Senior Brother Chu can’t stand seeing others helpless and doing nothing, so he will go back and help Lu Mingfei show off, help Chen Wenwen, and also provoke Zhao Menghua to make him lose face.”
No sooner had she finished speaking than Chu Zihang put the car in reverse and drove his Porsche backwards, stopping it beside Chen Wenwen with a whoosh.
He rolled down the car window, leaned out to look at Chen Wenwen, and said that Lu Mingfei was inviting her to dinner tonight at 7:30 pm at Aspasia Restaurant, a high-end Italian restaurant in the area.
Chapter 253 Operation at Runde Building
Zhao Menghua's mind was buzzing. He had just said he would take his brothers out for Italian food tonight, and Lu Mingfei sent his underlings to invite Chen Wenwen to the city's top Italian restaurant.
Isn't this like slapping him hard across the face?
"Refuse?" Chu Zihang's tone was cold, sounding like a question, a command, and even a threat.
If you refuse, it seems like a watermelon knife is about to be drawn and cleaved in two.
"Okay," Chen Wenwen agreed.
Chu Zihang nodded, rolled up the car window, stepped on the gas, and drove away.
"He's so handsome and cool!" Liu Miaomiao's eyes were fixed on the Porsche as it drove away.
"Hold on tight." Su Xiaoqiang suddenly released the car's handbrake and then revved the engine, the loud engine noise attracting the attention of people on the street.
Chu Zihang's Porsche had just left.
Su Xiaoqiang turned the steering wheel, performed a burnout drift, and drove the car next to Chen Wenwen. He rolled down the window and said in a commanding tone:
"Get in the car, I'll take you home. Dress up nicely."
Chen Wenwen was stunned, not understanding what Su Xiaoqiang meant.
Su Xiaoqiang took a small mirror out of the armrest box and looked at Chen Wenwen's face: "Look at how you've cried! You're one of the three most beautiful girls in the class, how can you look so ugly? You're embarrassing us. Let's take you home early to do your makeup and get ready for your date tonight."
Su Xiaoqiang's tone was forceful, so Chen Wenwen had no choice but to obediently open the back door and get in.
Liu Miaomiao thought to herself, Su Xiaoqiang is all bark and no bite, such a proud and arrogant person.
Only Gu Ran could cure her.
With another press of the accelerator, Su Xiaoqiang sped away in his red Maserati, like a fiery streak of light under the midday sun, leaving Zhao Menghua and his gang of underlings standing there dumbfounded, basking in the summer sun, inhaling car exhaust fumes, and eating the dust kicked up by the tires.
The vibrations of the sports car engine made Zhao Menghua's ears ring.
……
Chu Zihang drove back and picked up Lu Mingfei again, then drove onto the overpass.
He said he wanted to celebrate Lu Mingfei's birthday and asked Lu Mingfei if he liked Italian food.
Lu Mingfei was unaware that Chu Zihang had just been showing off for him again, so he answered that he liked to eat meat.
Eat meat in big bites!
Chu Zihang nodded and then dialed the Aspasia restaurant to make a reservation.
"Sorry, sir, our restaurant is booked out for the entire evening, and there are no seats available." The restaurant's female manager politely declined Chu Zihang's offer.
"Can't we add more seats?" Chu Zihang asked.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Gu booked the venue today. He said he wants to celebrate the birthday of a classmate surnamed Lu... We signed a private booking contract, and if we breach the contract, we will have to pay ten times the deposit in compensation." The female manager's words were also interesting, implying that if Chu Zihang was willing to pay compensation, he could give the venue to him.
But Chu Zihang suddenly thought of something. After hanging up the phone, he gripped the steering wheel with one hand and took out the red envelope Su Xiaoqiang had given him with the other, opened it, and glanced at it.
It was a note.
"Senior brother, if you want to help Lu Mingfei show off, I've already booked a restaurant for you. Tell me, am I awesome or not?"
Gu Ran left a note.
Chu Zihang suddenly smiled slightly.
Lu Mingfei, who was standing to the side, was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, what kind of birthday gift did Gu Ran give that could make Senior Brother Sha Pi smile?
And that smile is so captivating! If I took a picture of it and sold it, it would definitely fetch a lot of money!
Regardless of what others say, Liu Miaomiao would definitely be happy to buy this photo!
Chu Zihang carefully put the red envelope away, remembering that he owed Gu Ran a favor.
Soon, he drove to the South Railway Station, entered the scene of today's crime, and then, with a camera, remotely connected with Nono, asking her to profile the situation at the time.
Nono quickly completed the profiling and found a tire track at Exit C2, from which she could deduce the car model and use the surveillance footage to find the person who took the data.
“Raymond was in a position where he should have been certain to die. But he didn’t die because someone saved him, and the person who saved him seemed to have been prepared.” Nono keenly noticed the problem at the scene.
She continued, "Besides that, there was another person at the scene who was confronting the rescuers. In the end, they seemed to be mindful of each other and did not fight, and then they left separately."
Chu Zihang asked, "Any leads on who saved Raymond?"
Nono replied, "No, this person was very careful and didn't leave any traces, so I can't profile them. The other person was the same."
After the profiling was finished, Nuonuo hung up the video call before Lu Mingfei could even say a word to her.
"Did she forget my birthday?" Lu Mingfei wondered to himself.
After completing the profiling task, Lu Mingfei was sent away by Chu Zihang, who told him to go home first and then the two of them would meet up again in the evening.
Lu Mingfei also needed to hurry home to check if the toilet seat was installed, whether the sausages were steamed properly, and whether the radishes were cut.
If I don't finish my aunt's task, I'll probably get scolded again!
……
Chu Zihang relayed the clues he obtained to the executive headquarters of Kassel College. Through Norma, Manstein and three other professors, they quickly found out that the people who took the data were the hunter team from Runde Building, and the leader was Tang Wei.
The hunters are not hunters who go into the mountains to hunt, but rather hybrids who specialize in missions.
Before Norton awakened, he was known as the hunter Don.
Having traced the document to this point, its whereabouts are now clear, and the execution department is preparing to begin task assignment.
Professor Schneider wanted to send Chu Zihang on a solo mission, but Manstein, fearing that Chu Zihang would cause another big commotion, consistently disagreed with him going on his own.
Guderian was very unhappy. Why wasn't Lu Mingfei on the mission?
Manstein coaxed Guderian by saying that Lu Ming insisted on making overall arrangements, which was a very important task, and that's how he managed to appease Guderian.
The Board of Directors seemed to know that Chu Zihang often caused a big commotion, so they arranged a bunch of senior staff to help him, and the task was to be remotely controlled by the Execution Department, and Chu Zihang was not allowed to act on his own.
With the school board making the arrangements, Schneider had no choice but to comply.
It was 6 PM, one hour before the mission deadline.
Chu Zihang, who is far away in China, has now arrived at Runde Building.
He frowned as he looked at the task assignment.
The remote control of the mission by the executive department restricted his actions.
This kind of remote control is as stupid as Chiang Kai-shek sending a telegram from a thousand miles away to instruct the machine gunners on the front lines to move five centimeters to the left.
"Follow orders and try not to make too much of a commotion." Schneider explained the mission to Chu Zihang. "This is China. Making too much of a commotion will be difficult to handle."
Schneider continued in a low voice, "Also, your past record is not good. Although you didn't cause too much trouble later when you did missions with Gu Ran, now the board of directors seems to want to bring up old grievances... In short, be careful."
"Where's Gu Ran?" Chu Zihang asked. "Still haven't been able to contact him?"
"Not yet." Schneider also sighed. If Gu Ran were here, tonight's mission would be much easier.
"I understand, I will manage the impact," Chu Zihang said.
Schneider hung up the phone, thought for a moment, and then notified Norma to continue contacting Gu Ran and send him the task as soon as possible after they got in touch.
……
At 6:45 p.m., on the main street in front of Runde Building.
It was raining, and a FedEx van drove through the downpour before finally stopping in front of Chu Zihang.
