A Certain Paid Parking Lot
"What? He paid thirty-eight thousand?!"
Two young girls at the parking lot management desk displayed looks of great shock. Clearly, they hadn't expected Su Cheng to actually pay thirty-eight thousand.
These two girls were Zhao Yan and Xuan Ying.
Following the driver's tip that Su Cheng might encounter more trouble later, they had rushed here, hoping to convert the fake receipt into a real one.
They had even used their elders' connections to contact the highest authority of this parking lot beforehand.
But surprisingly, Su Cheng had actually paid thirty-eight thousand!
Before coming, they thought the old lady had just done something foolish out of anger.
Su Cheng knew nothing about all of this.
But looking at this incident,
It was clearly all his careful design.
How could any normal person pay such an astronomical parking fee of thirty-eight thousand?!
This meant Su Cheng had calculated all the subsequent troubles in advance.
He even anticipated the vehicle would be damaged when he first parked it.
Therefore, this also meant he had predicted the old lady would lock the car.
Though they didn't know how he managed it.
But probably only Su Cheng himself knew.
At this moment, the shock in both girls' hearts was beyond words.
Outside the Paid Parking Lot
"So how did he make that old lady lock the car without her knowing?"
"Yeah, could he possibly predict the future or use hypnosis?"
"I don't know either, it defies all logic."
A mature woman in the driver's seat narrowed her eyes, with an unusual gleam in their depths: "However, my assessment of him is that he's deeply calculating, understands human nature profoundly, and is unfathomable."
"Indeed, those who get into Flame City Private Academy are no ordinary people."
Beside her, Zhao Yan, with her blonde hair falling over her shoulders, raised her head, complex emotions flickering in her gaze.
Since they weren't following anymore, she had removed her disguise, dressed coolly but not vulgarly today, giving off a sweet yet spicy and cool girl vibe.
"But this also..."
Xuan Ying hesitated, her expression complicated, as if some words were difficult to voice.
Today she wasn't wearing her school uniform but a black dress, and her usual straight-banged hair was tied up, revealing her pristine neck, making her look pure and cute.
"No wonder, so you're students from Flame City Private Academy!"
The female driver exclaimed, then teased Zhao Yan: "He's not your boyfriend, is he?"
Hearing this, both girls' faces turned red simultaneously. Zhao Yan lowered her head in silence, but her expression told the driver that he indeed wasn't.
"How did you know?"
Zhao Yan raised her head, puzzled, asking the driver.
The driver explained: "You don't understand him at all."
Hearing this, Zhao Yan and Xuan Ying exchanged glances.
Indeed, they didn't understand him at all.
They had wanted to protect Su Cheng before.
Thinking about it now, that idea was really naive.
Now it seemed Su Cheng was not only capable but also very calculating. It would be good enough if he didn't bully others, let alone need their help.
Thinking back on various previous incidents, they suddenly began to understand everything.
Why Senior Ji would condescend to personally invite him to join the club, and Eddie's father's handwritten letter.
These were clearly attitudes of recruitment and favor!
It seemed Senior Ji had investigated Su Cheng early on and knew of his extraordinary nature.
...
"Quick, get in the car!"
Suddenly, the female driver glanced behind them and urgently called out to the two.
Zhao Yan and Xuan Ying snapped back to reality and instinctively looked back.
The sight made their faces fill with panic.
In the distance, Su Cheng was casually riding a bicycle towards them, looking very relaxed.
"What are you waiting for?!"
The driver urged, anxiety in her voice.
"Oh! Right!!!"
Seeing this, Zhao Yan and Xuan Ying forgot about dignity and politeness, quickly opened the car door and got in.
"Phew... fortunately he didn't see us."
The driver wiped sweat from her forehead, speaking with lingering fear.
Zhao Yan and Xuan Ying also sighed in relief upon hearing her words.
"Did he go into the parking lot?"
"What's he doing there?"
"Maybe getting back the thirty-eight thousand?"
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Zhao Yan and Xuan Ying's faces showed confusion, and Zhao Yan spoke: "But wouldn't that undo everything if he takes it back?"
If the other party called the police, then Su Cheng taking the money would be treated as fraud.
"Maybe he reached some agreement with the car owner?"
The female driver frowned, then suddenly shook her head: "No, there's no reason for him to reach an agreement and reconcile. He wouldn't do something so foolish, because this is revenge, and students from your school aren't short of money."
"Then what exactly did he go there for?"
Zhao Yan frowned, growing more curious.
"Then there's only one possibility left."
The driver said, looking at the two girls.
Zhao Yan slightly furrowed her brows, Xuan Ying nodded, both waiting for her to continue.
"It means Chen Daming won't call the police anymore."
The driver said, her eyes somewhat grave.
"How did he manage that?!"
"How could he prevent them from calling the police without reaching an agreement?!"
"Have you forgotten about the old lady locking the car?"
Hearing this, Zhao Yan and Xuan Ying's faces turned serious as they fell into thought.
"However, there's another possibility..."
The driver continued: "Of course, I'm just assuming, but if while we weren't there, he did something..."
Saying this, she put her hand to her neck and made a beheading gesture.
"Ah!!!!"
Zhao Yan and Xuan Ying both shuddered at her words.
"That's impossible!"
"No way!!"
They exclaimed almost in unison, unable to accept this answer.
It was simply inconceivable, too outrageous.
How could they accept Su Cheng suddenly becoming a murderer?
"Let's go to his apartment to find out."
After pondering for a moment, Zhao Yan said to the driver.
"Alright, I'll drive you there right away!"
Hearing this, the driver's face also turned grave as she started the car and headed towards Su Cheng's apartment.
They couldn't delay any longer; they had to clarify things as soon as possible.
.....................
"What, he went crazy?"
"Had a mental breakdown?!"
"And was forcibly taken away by the mental hospital?!"
At this moment, upon hearing the news, both girls fell into unprecedented contemplation.
An eerie silence fell over the car.
Zhao Yan and Xuan Ying looked at each other, neither speaking.
After a long while, Zhao Yan was the first to break the silence, asking in a trembling voice: "Are you sure?"
Hearing this, the female driver also fell silent for a moment, then nodded: "I asked the security guard, he saw it with his own eyes."
Zhao Yan and Xuan Ying fell silent again.
