When picking up the car, Xu Zhi suddenly said to Shen Yao: "You followed me and took a taxi."

There was a hint of disbelief in his tone.

Shen Yao explained: "I don't have a car, so I took a taxi temporarily. I thought this was a rare opportunity. If I missed this opportunity, I wouldn't know when I would see you again, so I followed you."

Xu Zhi's eyes flickered. "You really followed me. But how did you know where my car was? Even the place where we were waiting was very... how should I put it? Precise."

What he was wondering was whether the salesperson had already sold all his personal information.

Shen Yao smiled awkwardly, "Brother, since we may have to cooperate in the future, why don't we stop asking for details? Please let me go."

Xu Zhi opened the car door and said simply, "Okay, let's not ask any more questions. Let's get in the car."

……

When Shen Yao got into the car smoothly, the system was still praising her foresight and wit.

It knows that no matter what its host does, it will be stable.

If you say you can take Xu Zhi’s car back, you will definitely be able to do so.

Shen Yao ignored his self-absorption and only watched Xu Zhi change his route nonchalantly. She asked in an unclear tone, "Did you do that on purpose? Did you deliberately take such a bad road?"

Xu Zhi: "Well, my car has been modified and is more shock-resistant, but it's hard to say about the taxi you took."

Shen Yao:......

Good boy, you did it on purpose.

"Are you in the audience today?" Xu Zhi suddenly asked.

"Yes, I watched your entire game from the audience." Shen Yao replied.

"Which section are you sitting in?" he continued to ask.

"Yes, ah, I don't remember clearly." Shen Yao said vaguely. She was not the only one watching the game at that time. Zhou Cheng's confidant was also there. It would be better to say less, so as not to reveal something and cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

"Yeah." Xu Zhi didn't ask any more questions.

Shen Yao changed the subject, stared at the desolate road ahead and asked, "Where are we going to talk now?"

Xu Zhi: "I've thought about it, it's too late now, I should go back and have a good rest, we can talk about it tomorrow."

Shen Yao: "Alright, then just drop me off near Xiyuan Road later."

According to the arrangement of Zhou Cheng's confidant, she temporarily stayed in a hotel over there.

Xu Zhi was a little surprised: "Where do you live?"

Shen Yao: "Yeah, what's wrong?"

Xu Zhi turned the steering wheel in his hand and reminded her, "It's a bit messy over there."

Shen Yao smiled and said casually: "I know, but the hotel price over there is okay, it's relatively cheap."

Xu Zhi paused, "Stay in a hotel? You're not a local?"

Shen Yao: "I don't think so. To be honest, I don't know where I am from. After all, I have been to several welfare homes in different cities since I was a child."

This is actually a fake background specially arranged for her by the Federal Security Organization. She must maintain this personality before officially restoring her identity.

Hearing this, Xu Zhi's eyes flickered slightly, and his fingertips moved unconsciously, tapping irregularly on the steering wheel. It was unknown what he was thinking.

……

As soon as we arrived at Xiyuan Road, the car pulled over.

After Shen Yao and Xu Zhi added each other on WeChat and changed the notes, they also made an appointment to meet tomorrow.

"Let's do it at noon, around 12:30. I'll send you the location later. I'll treat you to a meal, and we can talk while we eat." Xu Zhi said.

Shen Yao glanced at her phone. It was already past four in the morning. She would go back home, take a shower, and sleep until noon.

"Okay, then I'll go back first." Shen Yao said as she was about to get off the car.

"Wait--" Xu Zhi stopped her, then took out a very thick and heavy stack of banknotes from somewhere and handed it to her, "If you don't want to stay in a hotel in this area, you can change it anytime."

Shen Yao smiled but didn't accept it. "I appreciate your kindness, but it's really not necessary."

After saying that, she got out of the car, closed the door, and waved to him before turning around and leaving.

After she left, Xu Zhi did not drive away immediately.

Instead, he pulled down the mirror on the main driver's seat and took a careful look at his chin and neck. After a long while, he let out a sigh and whispered, "I didn't expect that there would be such obvious marks..."

It seems like I really need to apply some ointment when I get home, otherwise I won’t be able to see anyone tomorrow.

Thinking of this, the scene at that time inevitably emerged in his mind. He was thrown to the ground by an irresistible force, and then -

His body felt heavy, and his jaw and neck felt tight and painful. The pair of eyes, which had turned slightly red due to anger, stared at him fiercely.

He actually didn't quite understand why, when he met those eyes, his limbs and bones inexplicably emitted an irresistible feeling of powerlessness, as if he was shocked and wanted to surrender.

Very strange...

Not to mention that he had never felt this way before, there were only a few people who could suppress him like that.

Moreover, the girl's skills were terribly strong, with her momentum and strength being the most outstanding. However, her techniques were very wild. She didn't look like a martial artist from a traditional background, but more like... a talented player who took a wild approach.

This kind of people are absolutely strong no matter where they are.

After Shen Yao returned to the hotel, before she gave any instructions, the system had already consciously used the [Brand New] props to clean every corner of the room, and also skillfully replaced the hotel sets on the bed with high-quality products prepared by the backend to ensure that the host could sleep better and more at ease.

After taking a quick shower, Shen Yao fell asleep almost as soon as she touched the bed. At the moment when she closed her eyes and fell into a daze, she did not forget to say thank you to the system.

The system smiled, tucked the quilt for her considerately, and adjusted the air-conditioning temperature in the room to ensure a better sleeping environment.
