"Bai Qing, let me have a look at your math workbook. I have two wrong questions to correct."
"Oh, okay."
When Bai Qing heard Chi Jia's voice, she put down the pen in her hand and took out the workbook from her schoolbag. However, when she handed the workbook to Chi Jia, she did not let go immediately.
"Huh?"
"Sorry, I was a little distracted just now," Bai Qing apologized and finally let go of her hand.
"Are you thinking about him again?" Chi Jia took the workbook and raised her eyebrows.
"Yes." Bai Qing habitually looked at the seat next to her, but it was now occupied by another girl.
It had been three months since the battle at the construction site, and that was the last time she saw that figure. When she opened her eyes again, he had already arrived at the police station with other survivors.
However, no one believed the story they told. The four bodies found at the construction site were mysteriously stolen that afternoon. When the police listened to her and rushed to the glass factory, they found that the place was also empty. There was nothing under workshop No. 3.
The good news, however, was that her mother's body and the other clones were also missing. In the end, due to the lack of crucial evidence, the deceased reappeared, and the public security organ withdrew the criminal charges against her father. Everything that happened before was like a nightmare, magically disappearing after she opened her eyes.
However, Zhang Heng's charges of illegal possession of firearms and ammunition, driving without a license, hitting someone on the street, and suspected homicide were very difficult to clear. He seemed to know this very well, and after making a phone call to his grandfather, he disappeared from the face of the earth.
The police did not pay much attention to him at first. After all, it was a piece of cake to hunt down a high school student with no social experience. Besides, modern society was filled with cameras almost everywhere, and ordinary suspects had nowhere to hide.
What happened next, however, was beyond everyone's expectations. Zhang Heng's escape was like a drop of water falling into the ocean, disappearing without a trace. The police had tried all kinds of investigative methods, but until today, they had found nothing.
"That guy … is he really as powerful as you say?" Chi Jia asked.
"Yeah, sometimes I also wonder if he's someone from another place. Otherwise, there's no way to explain how he could fight against those things by himself."
"Is he like Superman from Krypton?" Chi Jia curled her lips. "Don't tell me you want to be Lewis Ryan."
Bai Qing blushed. "I just don't know how he is now."
"If he is really as powerful as you say, you don't have to worry about him at all," Chi Jia said. "Maybe he just took a spaceship back to his Krypton."
Seeing Bai Qing's expression, Chi Jia paused for a moment, and a mischievous smile appeared on her face. "Oh, you are not really worried about his safety. You are just wondering why he hasn't contacted you for so long. This should be called yearning for love."
"You are the one who is in love. Don't make it sound so bad." Bai Qing picked up the book and pretended to slap Chi Jia.
In the end, the latter turned around and ran away. Chi Jia slipped back to her seat and picked up her bag. "My sister and I have an appointment to get our nails done tonight. I'll be leaving first. You can continue thinking about your Mr. Superman."
"…"
When most of the people in the classroom had left, Bai Qing packed up her books. She took one last look at the seat beside her, which had been destroyed beyond recognition, and walked down the teaching building.
After leaving the school gate, she carried her bag and walked to the bus stop.
However, for some unknown reason, she felt a little uneasy along the way.
Bai Qing thought of the time when she was being followed at Children's Palace. After more than three months, the feeling came back to her.
Bai Qing looked behind her, but it was rush hour. There were many people on the street, and she couldn't see anyone suspicious.
So she could only comfort herself that she was overthinking. It was probably the aftereffects of the previous incident that made her a little paranoid.
After that, Bai Qing went to the bus stop as usual. There, she saw a man wearing a mask and a hood. The man did not face her directly, but Bai Qing felt that he looked a little familiar. She just couldn't remember where she had seen him before.
At this time, the bus she was waiting for arrived at the station. Bai Qing and the other passengers swiped their cards and got on the bus. At the last moment when the door was about to close, the man wearing a mask also flashed in.
Bai Qing couldn't help but stare at him again. The familiar feeling lingered in her mind, and she couldn't get rid of it.
However, Bai Qing was so close to remembering who the other party was.
She subconsciously moved a few steps to the back of the bus, distancing herself from the man wearing a mask. After that, she looked out of the window, trying to calm herself down.
What she did was indeed effective. In the following days, her mood improved until she saw a law firm on the street. She finally woke up with a start and remembered where the masked man's familiarity came from.
The man used to be her father's defense lawyer, and they had met before. However, she didn't have a good feeling about him.
Especially his emotionless eyes, which made her a little uncomfortable.
After the series of events that had happened before, Bai Qing did not think it was a coincidence that Zhang Heng appeared here today and took the same bus as her. So when the bus stopped at the next stop, Bai Qing squeezed her way to the door and ran out of the bus as if she was escaping.
However, this was an area she was not familiar with. Bai Qing didn't know where she was, so she could only try to find a convenient place to hide. She plunged into a shopping mall, passed through the cosmetics and jewelry counters on the first floor, and came to the door of the fire escape. She pushed open the hinged door and saw an open-air parking lot outside.
Bai Qing was looking for an exit when she saw the man wearing a mask at the exit.
This time, the man did not try to hide and walked straight toward her.
Bai Qing turned around and ran into the mall again, but then she found that the door she came from could not be opened.
Bai Qing shook the door lock hard, hoping to attract the attention of the people in the mall. However, even the nearest counter to the fire escape was a long way from here. Seeing that the man was less than 20 meters away from her, Bai Qing had no choice but to give up and run to the back of the parking lot.
The masked man silently took out a knife from his briefcase and followed her.
"It's time to make him pay," he said in a hoarse voice.
