"Qin Zhen, we'll be leaving first," Jia Qing said dryly.
"Okay, see you tomorrow," Qin Zhen nodded slightly, and a smile appeared on her exquisite face.
The group of young men blushed and hurriedly left. Seriously, he wanted to save a girl, but in the end, he was saved by the girl. He was really not a man…
Qin Zhen saw He Yi the moment she stepped out of the police station.
"Miss Qin, the Young Master is waiting for you in the car."
Qin Zhen looked at the car parked on the opposite side of the road and felt a little guilty. He Guinian was here too, and so soon?
"Go," Qin Youting said gently, "Don't throw a tantrum. I have to go to the traffic police anyway."
"Why are you going to the traffic police?" Qin Zhen was puzzled.
"To pay a ticket," Qin Youting rubbed his nose awkwardly, which was a rare expression on his face. He probably drove through a red light to come and bail her….
Qin Zhen was touched and a little amused. She watched Qin Youting's back as he walked away before heading to the car. Upon opening the backseat door, she was immediately met with a flirty gaze from the man who owed money to her, Wu Ze.
Wu Ze sat beside He Guinian. When he saw that she was perfectly fine, he clicked his tongue in dismay. He could not hide the disappointment on his face. He was just short of crying out, "What a pity,"
He was with He Guinian when he made the call. He thought that she was seriously injured, so he came over to watch the show. He even thought about buying some chrysanthemums to add to the drama.
He Guinian glared at his friend and said, "Go away."
Wu Ze slowly moved to the front seat.
Qin Zhen climbed into the backseat and carefully assessed He Guinian's expression. She knew that he was angry, so she decided to act pitifully. She poked his arm and said in a sad tone, "He Guinian, my hand hurts…"
He Guinian glanced at her, but his heart softened and he held her hand. "If you ever find yourself in the same predicament in the future, stall for time and call me."
"Don't worry. Those people won't be able to hurt me," Qin Zhen said, letting him hold his hand before she remembered something. She quickly took out a brand-new sachet from her pocket. "This is a new one for you. Take it. If you like the previous one, you can keep that too."
A faint fragrance of Chinese incense wafted out, making him feel relaxed and happy.
He Yi and Wu Ze could not help but look over.
"He Guinian, you're a grown man. Why do you still use a sachet, huh? That motherf*cker," Wu Ze complained.
"Young Master Wu Ze, Miss Qin had made the sachet to help the Young Master sleep." He Yi said, interrupting his rants, "Believe it or not, ever since the Young Master used it, his sleep quality has improved. Even just carrying them around has some good effect on the Young Master. Good for sleep too,"
Wu Ze did not believe it. No way. He Yi must have exaggerated its effect. Those medicinal herbs could probably help people sleep slightly longer, at most. These people were just too fond of Qin Zhen.
Qin Zhen seemed to know that He Yi secretly wanted one too, so she said, "I'll make one for you when I'm free."
"Thank you, Miss Qin!"
"Give me one too," Wu Ze added. Although he didn't want it, he didn't want to be left out!
Qin Zhen glanced at him, "Pay me,"
"How much?" Wu Ze said, amused.
"200 million."
"... Did your family go bankrupt or something? 200 million for a lousy sachet?" Was it as good as the brew made by the Witch Doctor? Did she learn how to scam from the people in Dark Night?
Wu Ze's heart ached at the thought of the money he paid for that hacker.
...
The next day, Qin Zhen came to class as usual. As soon as she entered, Jia Qing and his small group could not help but observe her. Qin Zhen was dressed neatly in her school uniform. Her appearance didn't give away any indication of someone who could kill people in the back alley.
As soon as Qin Zhen sat down, Baihe walked in. Coincidentally, the first class for the last two consecutive days was English. The moment the teacher's eyes landed on Qin Zhen, a hint of disgust bubbled in her eyes.
"Today, we will review the grammar points from Unit 2…" Baihe briefly explained all the theories and swiftly began quizzing them. A few minutes later, she made the students stand up to answer her questions. If anyone got them wrong, she would start berating them. She would sarcastically comment how they would never catch up to someone far more intelligent than them…
As a teacher, isolating a student without being accused of doing it was an easy task.
Qin Zhen had caused her to lose so much face. How could she let Qin Zhen off so easily?
Be it boys or girls, Baihe scolded them all.
Qin Zhen leaned against the back of her chair. Her cold expression only got icier by the minute. She was getting frustrated by the whole ordeal. She stood up and said, "Excuse me, Ms. Baihe. If one person doesn't know how to solve a question, the problem might lie with that person. However, if a group of students doesn't understand, then shouldn't the problem lie with you?"
Baihe had been holding back her anger all this while. Seeing that Qin Zhen was the one who spoke up, she finally exploded. "Since you said my teaching is so bad, maybe you should teach me."
