Chapter 897: Vacation

After Zhang Heng returned to school, the last words of the bartender still lingered on his mind. She had spoken to him the moment he was about to leave the bar.

“There have been many weird people around recently. You better stay away from the person with Ahoge.”

“Someone with Ahoge?”

Zhang Heng thought for a while, and the only person with Ahoge was Nanako Mukaichi, the apprentice that Chen Huadong had accepted earlier.

Nanako Mukaichi was Hayase Asuka’s junior and had arrived in China as an exchange student not too long ago. Zhang Heng had met her once, and he helped her find the books that she wanted to buy in the bookstore. At that time, Zhang Heng was interrupted by the old man in a Tang suit. Not knowing where he had popped out from, Zhang Heng said goodbye to Nanako Mukaichi and Chen Huadong.

Therefore, Nanako Mukaichi and Zhang Heng did not have a chance to get to know her better. And based on the situation of that day, Nanako Mukaichi seemed to be behaving quite normally. Zhang Heng, however, also believed that the bartender lady wouldn’t have said something like that without supporting evidence. The old man in a Tang suit showing up indicated that something was wrong with Nanako Mukaichi.

Although the old man looked like he had nothing to do on the surface, Zhang Heng analyzed him again and realized he wouldn’t show up without reason every time. Except for that time he showed up to sign a contract with Zhang Heng, he would only appear whenever Zhang Heng was in trouble. When Moresby came to this world, for instance, they met for the second time. And the third meeting because Zhang Heng crossed paths with the goddess of justice. And the last time Zhang Heng met him was in the bookstore not too long ago. The old man in the Tang suit was there to take away a book on the shelf that should not be there.

It seemed that the reason that the book appeared there was probably related to Nanako Mukaichi.

After realizing this, Zhang Heng wanted to remind Chen Huadong and let him pay extra attention to his safety whenever he spent time with Nanako Mukaichi. However, when he saw Chen Huadong put on a silly smile when he talked on the phone, he knew that his reminder would probably be pointless. Fortunately, Nanako Mukaichi was probably targeting Zhang Heng, so logically, she would not do anything to harm Chen Huadong.

…..

Since the start of the Agent Wars, Zhang Heng had obviously become busier. The time between each quest had shortened by a lot, not to mention that June was coming soon. In other words, it was time for the final exam again. Previously, Zhang Heng spent a year and a half in ancient Rome. Without a doubt, it certainly had affected his memories.

Fortunately, he had 48 hours a day. Even if the final exam came without warning, Zhang Heng still had double the time to prepare for the exam compared to Chen Huadong and Wei Jiangyang. And Zhang Heng discovered that his memory seemed to be better than before after acquiring the deduction skillset. When he was living in London, he tried to build a memory palace in his brain, according to what Holmes told him, and after which, he collected all kinds of information and stored it there. When he needed those memories, he could head to his memory palace to search for them.

It was also the reason why he could quickly find all those hidden connections in the several seemingly unrelated things in Rome. And now, this memory palace had also saved him a lot of time to relearn all those things he learned in school. It allowed Zhang Heng to complete his revisions a lot faster than expected.

Just as Zhang Heng entered the library and turned on his learning mode, a Tesla Model S rolled silently into the campus, stopping in front of Zhang Heng’s dormitory after capturing everyone’s attention. When the driver’s door opened, the first thing emerging out of the car was a pair of perfectly curved, beautiful legs. Immediately, all the males in front of the building landed their gazes on the legs. The driver soon exited the car and took off her sunglasses.

Han Lu looked at Wei Jiangyang, who had just packed his lunch and was about to go back to his dormitory.

“Oh, great! You are the classmate who played basketball with Zhang Heng, right? Could you please help me tell him to come downstairs?”

Wei Jiangyang opened his mouth and spoke after being left speechless for a while, “Weren’t you driving a Lexus?”

“I have more than one car. Besides, I have given away that car. Compared to my life, that Lexus is nothing. Strictly speaking, Zhang Heng was the one who saved me that time.”

“Zhang Heng saved your life?” Wei Jiangyang felt like a paparazzi that carried all kinds of equipment, staking out outside a celebrity’s house.

However, Han Lu did not seem to have any intention of continuing this topic. So, she just smiled and said, “Can you ask him to come down? Don’t tell him that I’m here. I want to surprise him.”

“Oh, no problem, but he is not in the dormitory now. He should be in the library,” Wei Jiangyang stammered. He could not help but feel nervous every time he talked to Han Lu. Mainly, it was because of her reputation. Having been engaged in capital operations for a long time, she had forged within her a decisive temperament. Wei Jiangyang could not figure out how Zhang Heng got along with such a strong woman.

From his point of view, Han Lu was gorgeous, but a man would suffer if he stayed with her long term. After that, Wei Jiangyang looked for a random reason to ask Zhang Heng to come down from the library. Before he walked out of the gate, he saw the Model S parked in front of the library through the glass. Han Lu lowered the window of the co-pilot seat and said to him, “Get in the car.”

Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows and handed the computer and notebook in his hand to Wei Jiangyang, asking his help to bring them back to the dormitory. After that, he opened the car’s door, sat down, closed the door, and asked, “Where are we going?”

“Hawaii, a friend of mine just bought a yacht there. I asked him to lend it to me for a few months.”

Zhang Heng shook his head when he heard what she said, “Hawaii is too far away, and I still have final exams.”

“How about Japan? There are lots of pretty islands there. It only takes three or four hours by plane,” Han Lu chirped. “You said you are about to take the final exam, but you have to make sure you balance study and rest. We can find a small island over there and stay for two nights. I heard Shen Xixi saying that you are quite busy recently. Although she refused to tell me what you are doing, I happened to have finished my work for now. So, I thought maybe we could have a vacation together.”

“Why didn’t you call me in advance?”

“Because I didn’t want you to find a reason to reject my invitation.” Han Lu had already set up the autopilot to get them to the airport. She then turned to Zhang Heng and said, “You saved my life. I know you may think it’s no big deal, but I can’t pretend that it didn’t happen to me. And I want to do something for you. For starters, we can take a vacation together.”
