Chapter 699: Superman

“Bai Qing, let me have a look at your math workbook . I have two wrong questions to correct . ”

“Okay . ”

Bai Qing heard Chi Jia’s voice, put down the pen in her hand, and took out the math workbook from her schoolbag . She handed it over, but continued holding on to it .

“Yes?”

“Sorry, I got distracted . ” Bai Qing apologized and let go of the book .

“Were you thinking of him again?” Chi Jia took the workbook and raised her eyebrows .

“Yes . ” Bai Qing automatically glanced at the seat beside her, but some other girl had occupied it .

Three months had passed since the battle at the construction site, and that was the last time she ever saw him . When she opened her eyes again, she had already arrived at the police station with the other survivors .

As expected, no one believed the story they told the authorities . The four bodies found at the construction site had been curiously stolen that afternoon, and when Bai Qing told the police about the glass factory, they hastily deployed a special-forces team to the location . When they got there, however, the factory had already been emptied, and they found nothing beneath workshop No . 3 .

The good news was that her mother’s body and the other aliens had disappeared at the same time . Due to lack of critical evidence, and since her mother was found alive, the criminal lawsuit against her father was withdrawn . All that happened before seemed like a bad dream . Everything went back to normal miraculously after Bai Qing opened her eyes .

On the other hand, Zhang Heng was charged with illegal possession of guns and ammunition, driving without a license, hitting a pedestrian with his car, and suspected homicide . Getting rid of all the charges would be near impossible, so after calling his grandpa one last time, he disappeared .

The police were not too concerned . Hunting down a high school student with no social experience could not be easier for them, not to mention the presence of security cameras everywhere in modern society . A high-school student like him couldn’t be on the run forever .

However, what happened next went beyond anyone’s expectation . Zhang Heng’s escape was clean and flawless, like a drop of water falling into an ocean . Even after trying a myriad of investigative methods, the police still failed to catch a glimpse of him .

“That guy…is really as good as you said?” Chi Jia asked .

“Yes, I sometimes wonder if he is from another planet . Otherwise, there is no way to explain how he could fight those things on his own . ”

“Is he like the Superman from Krypton?” Chi Jia curled her lips, “Are you trying to be Louis Lane?”

Bai Qing blushed . “I just don’t know how he is doing now . ”

“If he is really as good as you said, you don’t need to worry at all,” Chi Jia said . “Maybe he’s returned to Krypton in his spaceship . ”

Seeing Bai Qing’s expression, Chi Jia paused, and a grin appeared on her face . “Oh, you are not really worried about him, are you? You are wondering why he didn’t contact you after so long . I can see that you miss him a lot . ”

“I’m not missing him! What are you talking about?” Bai Qing picked up the book and pretended to smack Chi Jia with it .

The latter turned around, ran away, back to her seat, and picked up her school bag . “I’ll make a move . My sister and I are going to get our nails done tonight . You can carry on thinking about your Mr . Superman . ”

“…”

When everyone in the classroom was almost gone, Bai Qing packed her books and looked at the unrecognizable seat beside her before leaving the building .

Once she left the gates, she strolled to the bus stop with her schoolbag .

She had been feeling restless recently but couldn’t figure out why .

Bai Qing remembered the feeling she had when she was stalked around Children’s Palace . Three months later, the same feeling struck her again . Bai Qing quickly turned around and looked behind her . However, it was the peak hour where everyone had just gotten off work and school . The street was crowded, and she could find nothing unusual around her .

So she could only tell herself that she was paranoid . The trauma that she has been through must have made her oversensitive .

After that, Bai Qing came to the bus stop as usual, where she saw a man wearing a mask and a hoodie . Although he didn’t look at her, Bai Qing felt that he looked somewhat familiar, only that she couldn’t remember where she saw him .

The bus that she had been waiting for had finally arrived . Bai Qing and other passengers swiped their cards and got on the bus . Right before the door was about to close, the mysterious man stepped into the bus as well .

Bai Qing could not help but stare at him again . The familiar feeling kept on lingering in her mind .

She was on the verge of recognizing him . After that, she subconsciously took a few steps forward, moving away from him . She then looked out the window, trying to stabilize her emotions .

And it did work . After a while, her mood improved, until she saw a law firm on the street . Then, she finally remembered who the mysterious man was .

He used to be her father’s defense lawyer . They had met before, but she had a bad feeling about him . Especially his emotionless eyes; they made her extremely uncomfortable .

After experiencing a series of bizarre incidents, Bai Qing did not think that it was a coincidence that she met him here . When the bus stopped at the next stop, she quickly squeezed her way through to the door and got off the bus .

However, this was an area she was not familiar with . She had no idea where she was and could only choose a place convenient for hiding . A shopping mall was nearby, so she headed in, walking through the cosmetics and jewelry counters on the first floor . Upon arrival at a fire exit, she opened the hinged door, and outside was an open-air parking lot .

Bai Qing was looking for an exit, but she saw the mysterious man standing there the next moment .

Not bothering to hide his intention this time, he walked towards her instantly .

Bai Qing turned around and ran into the mall, but then she found out that the door could not be opened . She shook the door lock vigorously, desperately trying to attract attention to herself . However, the closest counter was still far away from the fire exit . Seeing that the distance between her and the mysterious man was less than 20 meters, she could only give up and run to the back of the parking lot .

The masked man took out a knife from his briefcase and followed her .

He spoke in a hoarse voice, “It’s time to make him pay . ”
