"I ran them over," Wei Zhao explained flatly.
"How can you just kill people like that?" As a police officer, Qiu Lingshan naturally found Wei Zhao's methods hard to stomach.
"They were holding guns. Was I supposed to wait for them to shoot me dead?" Wei Zhao rolled his eyes. "I let you have one alive, didn't I? That's for you to deal with."
Qiu Lingshan nodded. Wei Zhao had a point, and what pleased her was that he had at least left her one living captive.
She quickly took statements from Xiaofen, the beggar, and the disabled man, then had them get into the police car, intending to send them home shortly. Xiaofen, however, would be going with Wei Zhao.
The back seat of the Audi TT was cramped, but Kang Xiaofeng and Xiaofen would simply have to squeeze in together.
Leaving Qiu Lingshan to clean up the scene, Wei Zhao drove off in grand style.
On the way back, with no particular urgency, Wei Zhao kept his speed down, which left Feng Xiaoxiao rather displeased. "Wei Zhao, why are you driving so slowly?"
"If you think it's slow, you can drive," Wei Zhao said mildly.
"Then—you'd better keep driving!" Feng Xiaoxiao was rather annoyed; she had wanted another display of Wei Zhao's flying-car skills, but that was clearly not to be.
Back in the classroom, Tang Zhi mulled over the morning's events. At first she had thought it all a sham, but the more she thought, the more uneasy she grew, the more worried. Did Feng Xiaoxiao really have something going on with Wei Zhao?
The thought that Feng Xiaoxiao had suddenly transferred to First High School and seated herself right next to Wei Zhao vexed Tang Zhi. If Feng Xiaoxiao had nothing to do with Wei Zhao, why would she insist on clinging to him every single day?
And knowing full well that Wei Zhao's girlfriend was Tang Zhi herself, Feng Xiaoxiao had still dared to say such things to her face—could it be that everything she had said that morning was true?
Otherwise, why would a girl drag her own reputation through the mud, claiming she had already been with Wei Zhao and might be pregnant, asking him to take her to the hospital for a checkup?
Tang Zhi reasoned that even if she herself had been with Wei Zhao in that way, she would never broadcast it for all the world to know—unless, unless she were under some outside threat, desperate to announce her relationship with Wei Zhao, only then would she throw caution to the winds. So was that Feng Xiaoxiao's situation? If not for her own relationship with Wei Zhao, Feng Xiaoxiao probably would never have spoken of such things. But since she could bring herself to say them, shameless as it was, did that not mean she really had done these things with Wei Zhao?
Tang Zhi's mind was flooded with the scene from that morning. Though she was unwilling to believe Wei Zhao would give his heart to another, Feng Xiaoxiao's words implied that it was not a case of Wei Zhao falling for someone else—rather, he had been with Feng Xiaoxiao first, and only afterward with Tang Zhi!
Otherwise, Tang Zhi could not believe that Feng Xiaoxiao, who had transferred schools only a few days ago, could have fallen for Wei Zhao and even had that kind of relationship with him! The only explanation was that Wei Zhao and Feng Xiaoxiao had known each other before. Tang Zhi's brow furrowed even deeper as she recalled asking Wei Zhao about his relationship with Feng Xiaoxiao, and how he had answered vaguely that she had once seen him driving and wanted him to teach her.
Learn to drive—and merely to learn to drive, she had gone to such lengths to transfer schools and land in the same class as Wei Zhao?
Tang Zhi took out her phone and checked. No missed calls, no text messages. Wei Zhao, why would he not come to explain himself?
In a daze, Tang Zhi endured the first period until it ended, but still no call from Wei Zhao, no message—and after waiting in the classroom for ages, he did not come to find her!
