Pan Zhiguo was very agitated recently over the successive suicides of students. Although he had a strong background, it would draw attention if these events couldnt be stopped.

Whats going on? How did you persuade them? Pan Zhiguo shouted at s.h.i.+ Yaxin, unable to restrain his anger.

s.h.i.+ Yaxins hands were clasped before her, sweat on her palms. She answered in a tremulous voice, I have tried my best.

Pan Zhiguo stared at her with his fierce, wolf-like eyes. He grasped her neck, baring his teeth and saying, What I want isnt that you try your best. Do you really know why I allowed you to stay here? If you cant do your job well, whats the use of you?

s.h.i.+ Yaxin seemed to be frightened by him. Clasping Pan Zhiguos hands, she begged him with a sob, Im sorry, I know its my fault. I didnt do my job well. I promise Ill persuade them properly next time and wont let them

Enough, Pan Zhiguo interrupted her, helping her to stand steadily and adjusting her collar. He said gently, as if he were another person, Xiao Ya, I have told you many times: Dont be so careless. Why didnt you listen to me? I told you to be careful, be careful

Pa!

A slapping sound rang out. s.h.i.+ Yaxins head turned because of the slap. The obvious imprint of a hand soon appeared on her face.

Sorry Not daring to resist, she apologized quietly.

Pan Zhiguo caught s.h.i.+ Yaxins collar again and pulled her close to him, threatening her. s.h.i.+ Yaxin, Im telling you, if you do something in secret to ruin me, I will deal with you harshly.

s.h.i.+ Yaxin was so frightened that she trembled, shaking her head over and over. I wont. I wont.

That would be best. Pan Zhiguo pushed s.h.i.+ Yaxin away. Get out.

Clutching her clothes tightly, s.h.i.+ Yaxin quickly ran out and didnt dare to breathe until she was far away from Pan Zhiguo.

Then she carefully took out the recorder hidden in her clothes and turned it off, sending a message after she looked at the cell phones screen for a while.

Ding

!

Ming Shu tilted her head and glanced at her cell phone. Then she put down her fork and opened the message.

The light of the screen illuminated the slight smile on her face.

Look, it didnt work. Ming Shu showed s.h.i.+ Yaxins message to Cheng Yan. Pan Zhiguo dares to do that at school, do you think hes a fool? Cheng Yan, did you evade taxation?

What taxation? Cheng Yan asked unconsciously.

IQ taxation.

Would you die if we had a nice chat?

Cheng Yan thought.

Ming Shu lowered the cell phone and replied quickly. Then she took her fork and continued to eat her noodles.

What did you say to her? Cheng Yan took the phone to see.

But nothing was shown in the messages and the original message from s.h.i.+ Yaxin disappeared too.

What do you intend to do? Lu Meng, behave yourself.

I gave you a chance, but your way didnt work. So now we should carry out my plan.

It wasted so much time and still didnt work,

Ming Shu thought.

To waste time is to waste life.

Whats your plan?

Her plan is kidnapping or something similar. It isnt a good method

, Cheng Yan thought.

But Ming Shu focused on eating and ignored Cheng Yan.

Cant he stop talking when were eating?

Ming Shu thought.

Lu Meng, what are you going to do? Cheng Yan thought that his image was ruined, but he had no other choice since Ming Shu was difficult to pursue.

Lu Meng, Pan Zhiguo doesnt mess around. If he finds us, he wont let us off.

Dont risk yourself, Ill think of other methods.

Ming Shu put down her fork, making a slight sound that caused Cheng Yan to stop talking and stare at her.

What does she want to do?

he thought.

Ming Shu just smiled a bit and asked the waiter for the bill.

But Cheng Yan felt a chill go down his spine, as if a cold current came suddenly in March and people felt the chill in their bones.

Cheng Yan didnt notice Ming Shu doing anything special. She went to and left school on time every day. But he still felt worried, so he sent her home after school every day in case she put herself in danger.

Cheng Yan came to school again.

Eh, whats the relations.h.i.+p between Lu Meng and Cheng Yan? Why does he pick her up every day?

Ah! Why isnt it me that Cheng Yan picks up?

The girl students envious gazes fell on Ming Shu constantly. Even Ye Miaomiao poked her arm and winked at her vaguely.

They all said that Cheng Yan didnt dedicate himself to Ming Shu because he didnt appear in person.

Was he dedicating himself to Ming Shu now that he did?

Ming Shu peered out the window and saw Cheng Yan leaning against the wall of the corridor outside the cla.s.sroom, head lowered to look at his cell phone. The light of the sunset cast on him what seemed to be a warm, dreamlike halo. He looked like the Adonis from ancient Greek mythology.

Ring

As soon as the bell rang, the cla.s.sroom became noisy. The girls gathered at the window, infatuated with Cheng Yans handsome face.

Ming Shu packed her things, most of which were snacks, without hurry.

Then under many girls envious gazes, Ming Shu exited the cla.s.sroom, carrying her bulging bag.

Cheng Yan moved close to Ming Shu to talk to her. But Ming Shu was indifferent to him, which made the other girl students jealous.

She didnt know she was lucky.

Can you not follow me? Ming Shu was annoyed at him following her around all the time.

The way you stick to me, am I a prisoner?

Ming Shu thought.

Youre not telling me your plans, so Im following you, Cheng Yan said with a firm expression. I wont let you do anything dangerous.

Pressing her tongue against the roof of her mouth, Ming Shu took a deep breath and said, Im going to plant a bomb, do you want to come?

???

Where did a bomb come from? Is she kidding with me?

Cheng Yan thought.

It was obvious that Ming Shu wasnt kidding. She took out a junior department school uniform that Cheng Yan had no idea how she got. Then she changed into the uniform and went to the library with her bag.

It was lunch break, so there were students in the library.

Cheng Yan followed her with confusion on his face, feeling astonished in his mind.

Why did he follow her?

How could he know if there was anything she wouldnt do if he didnt follow her?

There were only a few monitors in the library, so there were many blind spots. Cheng Yan saw her take out a time bomb that was set to ten hours and place it in a corner of the library.

Cheng Yan was keeping watch for her. Only G.o.d knew why he kept watch for her.

Cheng Yan felt his back dripping with cold sweat by the time they came out of the library.

She was really brave.

Do you really want to bomb the library? The time she set was ten hours from now, during which there was no one in the library. She didnt want anyone die. What would you do if the police investigate you? This is so illegal.

Today is Friday, Ming Shu answered with a smile.

Whats special about Friday? Is Friday suitable for blowing up libraries?

Friday

Pan Zhiguo would arrange for the students to be dealt with in the library on that day.

There was something odd here.

Cheng Yan became clever for a second because he was shocked by Ming Shus strange behavior.

Except when he was in cla.s.s, he watched her almost all the time. When did she get a time bomb?
