Chapter 1185: Chapter 1189: Visitors Again (Part 1)
After confirming once more, Zhou Yan did indeed go on a trip!
She requested time off at the station the day after that incident with the child traffickers at night.
This truly stunned the people at the station.
Because everyone knows Captain Zhou is a complete workaholic.
She wishes every month had thirty-two days just to stay in work mode.
The people at the station are concerned about her health, even though she’s always been just fine.
But it’s entirely impossible not to worry at all.
The more crucial fact is, she has a very powerful background.
If anything happened to her, it would be beyond the station’s capacity to handle.
So when Zhou Yan requested leave, the station chief agreed without a moment of hesitation, telling her to take as many days as she wanted, even though police resources were very strained at the time.
Back in the classroom, Lin Xi vaguely felt that something was still off.
Could something have happened?
He secretly asked Xu Hong and the others to investigate a bit, especially around Big Breasted Sister’s mother.
But there was nothing out of the ordinary.
Just a simple trip!
During afternoon class, he had been listening for less than ten minutes when his phone rang.
Seeing it was Bai Bing, he picked up.
If it had been an unfamiliar number, he would have hung up without hesitation.
"What’s up, honey?" he asked, still somewhat puzzled.
Generally speaking, it was quite rare for Bai Bing to contact him proactively.
And at this particular hour.
On the other end of the line, there was a moment of pause before Bai Bing’s emotionless voice came through. Instead of answering him, she asked, "Where are you?"
"At school, of course!" He was such a studious person.
Didn’t she notice that everyone in the entire classroom, including Peng Bo, Xiong Haitao, and Cui Hua beside him, was studying diligently?
"Meet me at the school gate in twenty minutes!"
Lin Xi only heard this one sentence before Bai Bing hung up.
He looked at his phone, a bit confused.
What’s going on?
Did something happen?
Before he could ponder further, he noticed the classroom had become eerily quiet.
Almost everyone was staring at him.
Including the old professor at the podium!
"Ahem ahem ahem!" Lin Xi felt a twinge of embarrassment on his face and quickly acted as if nothing happened, turning the book pages and appearing engrossed.
The classroom soon returned to a state of instruction.
The students from both classes were listening very attentively.
Of course, they also continuously heard Lin Xi’s questions and discussions with the professor.
The old professors seemed very encouraging and happy to discuss Lin Xi’s attitude toward learning.
.bg-ssp-10081{margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;display:flex;justify-content:center;}They periodically praised him while also questioning the other students.
Why, among so many students, is it only Lin Xi who asks questions and joins in the discussion?
What about the others?
Are they just sitting there idly?
Do they not have any opinions to express?
No insights?
With such doubt and disdain from the old professors, aside from Lin Xi, the other students felt quite helpless.
It’s not that they didn’t want to ask questions or share their insights.
It’s just that they didn’t have a chance to speak up!
Even Xue Qin, the study committee member who had a passion for learning and was one of the top students in the entire class, couldn’t get a word in.
As a result, many students stayed back after class to study quietly.
About ten minutes later, Lin Xi interrupted the old professor’s lecture.
He said he had something to do and asked for leave.
The old professor wasn’t the least bit displeased and agreed readily.
This made almost all the students in the class secretly complain about the unfairness.
Mind you, these old professors would be very upset if you were late or didn’t study earnestly.
They might even fail your course by the end of the term.
But with Lin Xi, they weren’t even bothered by him interrupting midway to ask for leave.
Instead of showing refusal, they seemed not to mind at all and even maintained a good demeanor.
It seemed like they were judging people and doing as they saw fit—there was no fairness to it!
Old professors, where is your integrity?
What about your consistently rigorous and stern approach, your pursuit of academic inquiry?
Everyone silently grumbled in their hearts but didn’t dare to say anything out loud.
After all, these old professors were not people they could afford to mess with.
Moreover, they actually accepted it.
Who could dispute that Lin Xi was so impressive!
Even if he didn’t attend class, he would likely still ace the final exams!
Alas, people couldn’t be compared with one another!
Meanwhile, after Lin Xi left, they didn’t feel the immense pressure they had while he was in the room.
It felt like a burden had been lifted.
They could engage with the knowledge within their reach.
Exactly twenty minutes later, Lin Xi arrived at the school gate and immediately saw a black Porsche approaching from afar, pulling up beside him.
He promptly opened the car door and got in.
Without a doubt, it was Bai Bing’s car.
"In such a hurry?" he couldn’t help but ask, "What happened?"
But he noticed that Bai Bing was perfectly fine, and he relaxed significantly.
As for what was next, he didn’t think there was anything he couldn’t handle.
In his question, he also observed that Bai Bing’s expression showed no significant change.
"Someone from the Bai family in the capital has arrived!" she replied.
The Bai family in the capital?
Lin Xi immediately remembered that the people who attempted to bully Bai Bing last time, for some reason, were from the Bai family in the capital.
But he had fought them off entirely last time and claimed a substantial compensation.
Never thought they’d come again?
Were they truly bold, or just wealthy?
A smile involuntarily appeared on his face, "That’s great news!"
"I’ve been worrying about how to make money these days!"
Bai Bing beside him paused noticeably.
The car seemed to have gently tapped the brakes.
Clearly, her driving skills had improved quite a bit.
If it was before, the car behind might have rear-ended them.
"Be serious!" she said, taking a moment to respond to Lin Xi, "The Bai family in the capital is top-tier in all of Huaxia!"
"If it’s not necessary, I advise not to provoke them easily!"
This was also a major reason she was restrained last time.
Otherwise, she had entered the junior level of the King of Soldiers.
Even a junior King of Soldiers wouldn’t be easy to hold down by a middle-level King of Soldiers.
Moreover, she had learned the fist skill Lin Xi taught her.
In terms of strength, she was not much weaker than a middle-level King of Soldiers.
The only shortcoming was the lack of practical experience.
Lin Xi opened the window and took a glance outside, seemingly indifferent to Bai Bing’s words.
The top-tier family?
What’s the big deal?
For him, even if the Bai family in the capital had an Innate skill, it would merely be at the beginner level.
There was no threat in someone at the beginner Innate level.
Moreover, no matter how powerful the Bai family in the capital was, it probably wasn’t as strong as the Xiong family in the Secret Realm.
Considering the degree of Spiritual Qi in the outside world compared to the Secret Realm, they were worlds apart.
"If they’re looking for trouble, they can’t blame me!" Lin Xi replied, "And besides, we seem to have already offended them a long time ago!"
