"What about you? Skipping school all day long, where the hell have you been messing around?" Hao Jian said irately.
"Who's messing around? I've been working for my mom these past few days, and now I have to deliver a package to a government department for her!" Che Xiaoxiao immediately retorted, sounding like she was accused of always causing trouble.
"Ha, the sun must have risen from the west then." Hao Jian chuckled.
"Go fuck yourself!" Che Xiaoxiao swore bluntly.
"You dare curse at me?" Hao Jian's nose was practically crooked with rage.
"So what if I curse at you? I'd even hit you!"
Che Xiaoxiao picked up a water bottle and hurled it at Hao Jian. For some reason, seeing Hao Jian and Zhao Yating together made her feel as though she had been betrayed.
"I can't be bothered with you!" Hao Jian decided to leave. Seriously, if I can't provoke her, can't I at least avoid her?
"Don't you dare walk away!" But Che Xiaoxiao pushed the car door open and stepped out.
"What's wrong now, Gu Shuishui?" Hao Jian was utterly speechless. Was Che Xiaoxiao determined not to stop until she had tormented him to death?
"I've lost my way, take me there," Che Xiaoxiao said. Your next journey awaits at My Virtual Library Empire
Her car didn't have GPS navigation, and with the road being so rugged, she didn't know which way to go. It was getting dark, and if she couldn't find the place soon, the people there would be off work.
"I'm not going." Hao Jian flatly refused. Damn it, after she had smashed his car like that, she still expected him to lead the way for her? Dream on!
"Then I'll go back to school and badmouth you!" Che Xiaoxiao threatened.
"Who are you calling a *****?"
Hearing Che Xiaoxiao speak of her that way, Zhao Yating was immediately displeased. What she hated most was when people talked about her figure.
She didn't need to rely on her body to showcase herself; she had a decent temperament and cultivation, as well as a superior appearance. But she was constantly forced to be judged by her body.
"I'm talking about you, big buffalo!" Che Xiaoxiao huffed. Now, Zhao Yating was becoming more and more of an eyesore. Taking advantage of her absence from school these few days, she went and seduced Hao Jian. Disgusting!
"Teacher, she's insulting me!" Zhao Yating pointed at Che Xiaoxiao, fuming.
"Wowee, daring to seek help. Are you expecting Hao Jian to be afraid of you?" Che Xiaoxiao scoffed and ordered Hao Jian, "Hao Jian, lead the way, help me with the delivery."
"Teacher, we're not going, we've got other things to do," Zhao Yating whispered to Hao Jian.
"Other things to do?" Che Xiaoxiao's brows twitched, and she instantly got angry: "No way! Otherwise, I'll call the cops and report you two for having an improper relationship!"
"Enough already, stop it, where do you want to go?"
Hao Jian really couldn't stand these two girls. He now just wanted to quickly take Che Xiaoxiao to her destination and then hurry to drop off Zhao Yating at hers.
If they continued to cause trouble, there was no telling what else would happen. Just the car being smashed up was going to give him enough grief when he got back; Shu Ya would have a million questions.
"The Military Discipline Department. Do you know where it is?" Che Xiaoxiao asked. Her mother had instructed her to deliver something to a minister at the Military Discipline Department.
"I know. I'll lead in front, you follow behind," Hao Jian said before getting into the car.
Zhao Yating stuck her tongue out at Che Xiaoxiao and also hurried into the car.
Seeing Zhao Yating and Hao Jian in the same car, Che Xiaoxiao felt extremely upset. Damn it, if only she had known, she wouldn't have driven out today.
Then Hao Jian led the way, and in less than half an hour, they arrived at the Military Discipline Department, where they could see a guard on duty from afar, carrying an assault rifle and looking every bit the embodiment of integrity.
While blowing bubbles, Che Xiaoxiao walked over, playing with her hair, and asked, "Hey soldier, is Minister Lin inside?"
"Who are you? What do you want with him?" The guard didn't relax at all because Che Xiaoxiao was pretty, and he looked at her with a solemn expression.
"My name's Xiaoxiao, and I don't personally know your minister. It's my mom who asked me to deliver something to him. Could you see if it's convenient for him to come out and get it?" Che Xiaoxiao looked innocently at the guard.
"I haven't been informed of anyone bringing in a delivery or anything, so I can't let you in," the guard shook his head. Anyone wanting to see the high-ups inside had to schedule an appointment in advance.
Even receiving a courier package required prior notice.
If there was no notification, they would refuse to accept anything, because no one knew what was packed inside. What if it was a bomb? Delivering that to the leaders would be a grave mistake.
"Then you help me bring it inside," Che Xiaoxiao suggested.
"No can do. I'm on duty and can't leave my post. You'll have to get in touch with Minister Lin yourself," the guard said, unyieldingly.
"Hey soldier, please help me out. It wasn't easy for me to find this place, and I don't have Minister Lin's number. If I can't reach him, then I've come all this way for nothing," Che Xiaoxiao pleaded with a hint of coquettishness.
Usually, this tactic worked like a charm, but not this time. Upon hearing this, the guard's expression suddenly became stern and he said, "Don't pull these tricks on me. I've already said no, so leave now!"
"For fuck's sake! You're just a doorman, what's so great about you? Maybe there's dog food inside this package. Aren't you going to take a look?" Che Xiaoxiao finally lost her temper; her sweet, coquettish trick had actually failed?
The guard looked at Che Xiaoxiao dumbfounded: "Are you calling me a doorman's dog?"
Only dogs eat dog food, and since Che Xiaoxiao had called him a doorman, didn't that add up to a doorman's dog?
The guard was angry too and aimed his rifle at Che Xiaoxiao: "Get lost now! Otherwise, I'll treat you as a suspect and gun you down right here! Do you hear me?"
Far from being intimidated, Che Xiaoxiao advanced: "Who are you trying to scare? My mother is Guo Shuxian. If you dare to kill me, your whole family will suffer the consequences."
"You're the mayor's daughter?" The guard looked at Che Xiaoxiao with skepticism.
"No shit. How else would I know Minister Lin?" Che Xiaoxiao glared, "If you know what's good for you, hurry up and deliver this. Otherwise, I'll make things difficult for you!"
As she spoke, Che Xiaoxiao thrust the package into the guard's chest.
"Even if you are the mayor's daughter, you absolutely can't come in without notification!" The guard rejected her at once, knocking the package away.
The onlookers saw the palm-sized package somersaulting through the air for twenty rotations before thudding down on an empty space ten meters away.
Then, there was a thunderous explosion, echoing like a clap of thunder.
