Chapter 105: Driving Without a License

Chapter 105: Driving Without a License

When Chen Ye returned to the grove, he saw the beautiful girl, Tang Zichen, quietly waiting beside an off-road vehicle. Old Liu had already been moved to the back seat of the car by her telekinesis and was still unconscious.

"Squad Leader, I hope I didn't keep you waiting?"

Chen Ye had reverted to his original appearance and removed his wig. Seeing him return, Tang Zichen sighed with relief and asked, "Can you drive?"

"I can! But I don't have a license!"

Tang Zichen didn't seem to mind and got into the passenger seat. She had telekinesis, so she wasn't worried at all. Even unconscious, Old Liu had an extraordinary physique. It wouldn't matter if Chen Ye drove the car into a ditch.

After Chen Ye got into the driver's seat, Tang Zichen said, "I've contacted Ren Qianqian. She sent me her location… go left."

Chen Ye started the off-road vehicle and floored the gas pedal, causing the car to shoot forward!

Thud!

Old Liu in the back seat rolled off the seat and onto the floor.

Tang Zichen: "…Slow down, don't jostle Mr. Liu too much."

Chen Ye felt a bit embarrassed. "I didn't realize this thing had such power."

In his previous life on Earth, he had a driver's license and had driven a second-hand car for some time. His driving skills weren't a problem, but he wasn't familiar with the performance of the off-road vehicle.

The journey was bumpy and jarring.

Fifteen minutes later, they finally arrived at the air defense base with Old Liu.

The so-called air defense base was actually an underground facility. When they arrived, they were greeted by the crowd.

"Squad Leader, Chen Ye, it's great that you're okay!"

Many students spoke from the heart. Today's experience would be unforgettable for them…

The attack on the students of Wu University quickly alarmed many leaders. Such a large number of monsters were able to breach the defenses and enter the inland… This was a major incident, definitely involving internal betrayal!

The authorities were furious and ordered a thorough investigation! The students of Wu University naturally didn't know the specifics of the investigation results. They only heard that many high-ranking officials were dismissed for dereliction of duty and quite a few were imprisoned.

As for Teacher Jian, who harbored resentment and colluded with outsiders to eliminate the genius Tang Zichen… this matter was easily clarified. The leaders were furious because they valued Tang Zichen highly, and the near-fatal incident almost caused the loss of an exceptional talent!

Because of this, many leaders in Shanghai were reprimanded. Principal Lu of Wu University was scolded harshly by his superiors for failing to protect Tang Zichen.

The teaching director who approved Teacher Jian's boarding of the bus was directly dismissed and was under investigation, potentially facing imprisonment…

That afternoon, Chen Ye and the others returned to the Wu University campus. The freshman competition?

After such an incident, who would still be in the mood to participate in such activities? Even if Wu University wanted to continue, the organizers wouldn't dare...

What if something else happened? Although the possibility was very slim… no one wanted to take that risk!

Tang Zichen was very important, considered by many to be the future. It was said that the authorities had already decided to station two fifth-tier experts and a combat team at Wu University permanently to protect Tang Zichen until she grew to fifth-tier strength!

As a result, Tang Zichen would lose some of her freedom. She would probably need to report every time she wanted to leave the campus in the future.

The girl didn't mind. She seldom went out anyway, spending most of her time either in class or in the training room, living like an ascetic monk.

After returning to school, since Old Liu hadn't woken up, Chen Ye and Tang Zichen were called in for questioning. The inquiries were naturally about how they managed to escape.

Both of them had prepared a unified statement: they were knocked out and didn't know who rescued them or how.

This answer was naturally not convincing. However, since they were both Wu University students, the officials were more lenient with them, especially Tang Zichen, who could refuse to speak if she wanted.

So, the officials decided to wait until Teacher Liu woke up to ask him. Mr. Cai was also invited for questioning. Based on his description of the rescuer, it was speculated that the savior was Long Aotian!

Upon learning that Long Aotian already possessed 5+ tier strength, all investigations against him were halted! This was out of respect for the strong.

As long as the strong were not traitors, the authorities would not easily investigate them because many strong individuals had bad tempers. Once they knew they were being investigated, it could easily provoke them, pushing them to the enemy's side.

This had actually happened before...

...

Time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, a week had gone by.

The incident of the attack on Wu University students caused quite a stir for several days but has gradually subsided. The freshman competition also concluded yesterday.

The ultimate champion was Capital University!

However, netizens were not pleased with the result. Everyone knew that if Tang Zichen from Wu University had participated, the championship would have had nothing to do with Capital University.

Chen Ye watched two videos of the competition. The guy from Capital University, named Shuilong, had considerable strength. When serious, he could almost defeat his opponents with a single strike. Among this year's freshmen, he was likely second only to Tang Zichen.

As for the individual competition temporarily added by the organizers, it was later canceled.

In summary, this year's freshman competition felt anticlimactic without Wu University's participation. The audience had high expectations but were left disappointed. Many people angrily demanded refunds online.

...

At around nine in the morning, Chen Ye and Zhao Zheng arrived at the station. Wu University was focusing its protection on Tang Zichen. For the other students, things remained as they were before. Thus, getting leave was easy for the two of them.

In fact, upon hearing that Zhao Zheng was going to meet President Chen, Old Liu seemed quite happy, pleased that his student had found a good mentor.

"Old Chen, I'm only bringing two bottles of liquor. Isn't that a bit too shabby?"

"What do you mean, 'Old Chen'? Have some respect and call me Senior Brother!"

"Stop joking. Your dad might not even accept me as a student."

"Fool! Since he's invited you to meet him, it's almost certain he will. Got it? Besides, my dad just returned from the capital yesterday and asked you to come today, which shows he values this matter greatly."

"Alright, Senior Brother..."

"Good! You are teachable."

"Why don't you… Senior Brother, come back with me?"

"Huh? I've brought you to the station, isn't that enough?"

"…President Chen has always been my idol. I'm a bit nervous!"

"There's no help for that. My dad wants to meet you alone, without my interference. Understand?"

"I get it, but…"

"No buts. Just be yourself, and I'm sure your meeting will go smoothly."

Zhao Zheng wanted to say more, but Chen Ye noticed the time and quickly said, "The bus is about to depart. Get going!"

...

In the evening, Chen Ye received a call from his dad.

"Hello, Dad? How do you find the disciple I introduced? Are you satisfied?"

On the other end, President Chen replied, "Your classmate is indeed quite good, a promising talent."

Chen Ye laughed and asked, "Where's Zhao Zheng? Has he not returned yet?"

"I asked him to stay for a few days to correct his misunderstandings about martial arts."

"Wow! You've already started teaching him?"

"Stop joking. I called for another reason."

Hearing this, Chen Ye was slightly surprised and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Where is your friend, Long Aotian, now?"

"…How would I know? For someone like him, how could I track his whereabouts?" Chen Ye asked, "Dad, do you need something from him?"

"It's not me; your martial uncle wants to see him!"

Martial uncle?

The 'King of Martial Artists,' Ba Liming?

Why would he want to see me?
