Chapter 369: My name is Chu Zihan (Part 4)

"I didn't expect that I'm quite likable." Chu Zihan bit his cake silently, still so calm, neither surprised nor delighted, as if he had heard news that was not worth mentioning. Every day they said that some place was in dire straits abroad, while everyone in China was happy, healthy, harmonious and perfect, but he would forget about it after a few seconds.

“Senior sister, you are belittling yourself.” Lu Mingfei said. Although he was also a loser, he knew that he had no ability and no characteristics, so he was just loser.

Chu Zihan is different. As the goddess-level representative of Shilan School, she should be all blingbling wherever she goes. As a passerby and bystander, one has to cheer for her. Lu Mingfei feels that it is his responsibility to let the goddess understand his goodness and continue to shine. It is the responsibility of every loser.

"I'll think about it carefully." Chu Zihan nodded, "Can you still walk properly? Do you need me to call a car to take you back?"

It seems that Chu Zihan doesn't want to continue this topic. Lu Mingfei wanted to say something else, but it was obvious that the other person didn't want to listen. The conversation between the loser and the goddess often ended with the goddess saying "I'm going to take a shower". Even if the object was Chu Zihan, the ending would be the same.

This is the fate of the unlucky guy. Maybe your relationship is just a chance encounter that one night, and when you return to school, you are still the popular student and no one pays much attention to you. Don't think too much about a few words in a chance encounter. That's like a toad wanting to jump up and eat swan meat.

“Don’t worry, senior sister. I’m in good health.” Lu Mingfei patted his chest, showing off his muscular body. “Look, even after being beaten like that, I’m still alive and kicking. I can even tell you jokes and sing songs.”

"That's good. Remember to take the medicine with you before you leave." Chu Zihan said.

"What about you, senior sister? Aren't you going home so late?" Lu Mingfei couldn't refuse the kind invitation. He chewed the unfinished biscuit and held the bag full of medicine in his hand. He had already planned to leave, but seeing that Chu Zihan didn't seem to intend to see him off and didn't have any intention of getting up, he subconsciously asked another question.

"I have someone to wait for."

It's so late, who can he wait for? Lu Mingfei's frivolous heart suddenly started to gossip immorally, wondering if it was Chu Zihan's secret boyfriend or something. It was true, it was already this late, it was really too late for a student, he was late because he had been working too long in the Internet cafe, and Chu Zihan was still on the way, so she must have her reasons, it didn't seem like she was lying.

But there was no anticipation on Chu Zihan's face, even though she was like this most of the time. But if she was meeting someone very important to her, she should at least appear to be in a happier mood.

For some reason, Lu Mingfei felt that Chu Zihan was not happy at the moment, but he did not ask more questions.

"Then I'll be leaving first. Senior sister, don't wait here too late. If that person breaks the appointment, you should go back early and settle the score with him when you have time!" Lu Mingfei waved goodbye, and Chu Zihan nodded, meaning that he understood.

She watched Lu Mingfei's back gradually moving away until he turned the corner and could no longer be seen. Then she slowly took out her cell phone and dialed a number that she had memorized.

"Hello? I'm sitting on the bench in the middle of BJ Road. Can you pick me up?"

This was one of the rare times when she showed her soft side. Even the coldest person actually has a warm side in their heart, but it's very rare. Once she gives it to some people, there is not enough left for others.

"Okay, okay, no problem! Wait, I'll be there in a moment!" That person's voice is always so cheerful, like a born optimist.

Chu Zihan put away her phone, placed her hands on her knees, and waited patiently. The evening breeze was a little cool. It was the time of season change. It was extremely hot during the day and extremely cold at night. The school uniform skirt of Shilan Middle School was not good for keeping out the cold. She could only close her legs together to keep herself warm.

In fact, she doesn't like to wear skirts, but both her mother and that person said that since she is so beautiful, it is not a bad thing for her to learn how to dress herself up. There are many clothes in her closet that her mother personally selected, and her "father" also brings a lot of famous brands when he goes on a business trip or comes back from abroad. If girls of the same age see that cloakroom, they will probably faint with happiness.

Unfortunately, she never paid attention to it. Even when she went out on holidays, she would not waste time to match her clothes. She would just open a fashion magazine and buy a set according to the current trend. Anyway, she had all kinds of clothes, and her figure was outstanding, so she could handle anything. She knew how to wear a skirt just because that person and her mother would be happy to praise her a few more times. They seemed to always think that their daughter was too boyish and lacked something that a girl of this age should have.

Ten minutes later, a low horn sounded along with the gradually slowing tires not far from Chu Zihan. She turned her head and saw the familiar pure black car. In the triangular frame on the front of the car, two "M"s overlapped to form a mountain shape. It was a Maybach 62.

The middle-aged man in the car waved at Chu Zihan with a broad smile on his face. Chu Zihan didn't understand why he always smiled so happily, as if he had never had any worries.

The rear door closed, Chu Zihan turned her head to look at the small shop outside the window and began to slowly back away. She was very familiar with this luxury car, so familiar with it that she would remember every inch of the space in the car even in her dreams at night.

"Why are you still outside so late? The school is not closed today." The man fiddled with the steering wheel.

"Because I have something to tell you." Chu Zihan still didn't look at the man any more. She knew very well the man's daily routine. He would only go to bed in the early hours of the morning. So as long as he was in this city, she could call him over at any time when she was awake.

It is clear that we all live under the same blue sky, but our lives are completely unrelated. This is probably the only time they overlap every day.

"Sure, if my daughter wants to talk to me, I can come no matter how far away she is." The man smiled very casually, "Do you need me to show her report card or attend a parent-teacher meeting? You are the one who makes me feel most at ease. If other families have such a beautiful daughter, they will definitely worry about some pig taking her away every day. I never worry about you because there is no fool worthy of you!"

This man is always like this, bragging about his car, bragging about him, and by the way, bragging about his daughter. Chu Zihan really can't understand it. After so many things have happened, how can he still always smile like this? Doesn't he feel sad in his heart?

"I want to ask you why you divorced my mother." Chu Zihan said coldly. She held her chin and looked at the lights and feasting outside the car window.

The atmosphere in the car suddenly became solemn. Only topics could instantly kill the game. The smile on the man's face finally disappeared. He subconsciously grabbed the cigarette box on the dashboard. He wanted to smoke one, but when he saw Chu Zihan in the rearview mirror, he remembered that his daughter was also in the car. He secretly threw the cigarette box under his feet and pretended nothing had happened.

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?" he said.

"Just curious." Chu Zihan had a blank expression.

The man seemed to think for a long time before he could come up with the correct answer. He sighed, "Didn't I tell you a long time ago that your mother thinks I'm incompetent and can't make much money. I can only be a driver for the rest of my life. She thinks I can't give her the life she wants, so we divorced. It's good that we don't get divorced. She can take you with her and find a rich man like that. Look at your life now, how good it is! When I go to your school, everyone in your school will treat you like a princess!"

"Don't talk as if it's all my mother's fault!" Chu Zihan growled rarely. She seldom got angry, but when this man mentioned that incident, it was as if her mother was a bitch who was blinded by money, and she was implicated as well.

"That's just how it is..." The man was timid. Any father would be so humble in front of his daughter. If it was a son who yelled at his father like that, he would probably slap him in the face.

"My mother said that she asked someone to find you a job. It's not difficult, and the prospects and salary are much better than being a driver. But you just don't want to go. You even hold your car and can't explain anything. Why don't you say it's your fault?" Chu Zihan tried her best to restrain herself from shouting too loudly, but there was nothing she could do. This was her heart knot.

"I..." The man was speechless, "I really can't go..."

"Because you've been lying all your life, right? Even until now, you've never intended to tell us the truth. You are the worst liar in the world." Chu Zihan took out the things he had prepared long ago from his backpack and threw them at the man.

The Maybach immediately slowed down and drove slowly along the side of the road. The man pulled out a few papers from the pile and was stunned after just one look.

"You...how did you know?" The man couldn't believe it.

Those were all photos and introductions from the official website of Kassel Academy. The silver World Tree emblem was like indelible evidence, telling him the secret that Chu Tianjiao had never dared to reveal.

"I asked my dad for some money and found the best private detective in Shanghai." Chu Zihan said, "I told them not to contact you personally and only investigate your life traces. They did a good job and never exposed you. They know where you live now and even took me into your residence when you were out driving. I know there is a compartment in the basement of your small house, and I went in to take a look. Afterwards, we paid some more money and asked the people in the factory to forge some traces so that you wouldn't know."

Chu Tianjiao remembered that he found someone had entered his room last week, so he asked the person on duty. The person on duty said that the equipment in the basement of the factory needed maintenance, so all the equipment was cleaned and repaired. The maintenance staff didn't know that there was someone living there, so they pried open a room that they couldn't get into. After looking inside, they realized that there was someone living there. It was quite strange.

What the person on duty said made sense, and that day was indeed the annual routine maintenance day, so Chu Tianjiao didn't take it seriously. He didn't expect his daughter to be so smart and know how to use this method to find his traces.

As a person whose word spirit is time zero, there are only a handful of people in the world who can track him, but Chu Zihan didn't even ask private detectives to follow Chu Tianjiao. Her biological father's various behaviors made her very suspicious of this man. Those private detectives chose to investigate his things and residence. A person's life traces will always leave clues.

"We have also checked this Maybach. I know that its voiceprint activation system has my voiceprint. You secretly used my voice. Maybe you wanted to make me happy? But I really can't laugh at someone who has been lying for so many years. What is Kassel Academy? What is the Dragon Clan? Are you a superpower or a Marvel hero? To be honest, before I saw those things, my worst impression of you was that you were a fugitive hiding your identity. Only this explanation can explain why you dare not work outside the city. But the things you secretly hid in your room far exceeded my expectations. Anyone who has been in there will never forget it."

In order to prove that he was not lying, Chu Zihan raised his hand to show Chu Tianjiao what he was holding. From the rearview mirror inside the car, Chu Tianjiao could clearly see the bullet between Chu Zihan's two fingers. It was bright red and engraved with intricate patterns. This kind of bullet only appeared in Kassel Academy. It was an anesthetic bullet called Frigga.

As an S-class dragon slayer of Kassel Academy, Chu Tianjiao certainly has this kind of bullet in his arsenal, and in quite a lot of it. The fact that he could take out this thing means that Chu Zihan has really been to that place.

There was a long silence. Chu Zihan kept looking at the back of Chu Tianjiao's head, but Chu Tianjiao didn't dare to look back.

The Maybach slowed down and stopped at the side of the road. Chu Tianjiao pulled down the curtain inside the car, and the entire car became completely closed. Only the lights inside the car dispelled the darkness, creating a small bright space.

"I never thought that I would be caught by an ordinary person. Maybe it's because the target is my daughter, so I didn't have any vigilance. If people in the academy knew about this, they would definitely laugh at me." Chu Tianjiao sighed helplessly, and he finally turned his head to look at Chu Zihan, "You have been very smart since you were a child. I have always been proud of you, but I didn't expect that this kind of intelligence would be used on me one day. It seems that girls are more adorable when they are simple. Being too smart is even scary."

Her own biological father actually evaluated her in such a terrifying way. Anyone else would have been furious, but Chu Zihan still sat quietly in her seat. To her, other people's gossip, insults, or even praise did not matter.

Now she just wanted an answer, the answer that was closest to the truth. Her biological father had actually lied to her mother and herself for so many years. Even her closest relatives didn't know Chu Tianjiao's true identity. This kind of thing could even be described as terrifying. Would that face be like the monsters in Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio? If she reached out and tore it off, would she see white bones connected by flesh and blood?
