Chapter 48

"High salary, good benefits, and plenty of girls," Ning Yi chuckled.

"You didn't even get into college, and you're still daydreaming." Li Jiawei rolled her eyes, then glanced down, her face showing some panic, "Whatever, let's hurry up and leave, we can't stay here."

"Why?"

"Didn't you see a bunch of reporters coming? Do you want me to end up on TV? I escaped last night," Li Jiawei said anxiously.

"Escaped?"

Ning Yi's hand was pulled by her, and he felt a bit confused. No wonder she drove herself.

A large number of police and media reporters quickly surrounded the crime scene, making it impossible to leave.

Ning Yi hid in the crowd and learned that it was just by chance that Yang Yu and her Special Tactical Police team were patrolling the area today. He felt relieved; if she hadn't been there, his hard-earned life would have been lost to the monsters he had never even heard of.

He had seen the information about these monsters before; ordinary police bullets were useless against the two Clawed Beasts. Fortunately, this Special Tactical Police team was equipped with heavy sniper rifles and flame rounds, and with a female warrior like Yang Yu, they barely managed to take down the two Clawed Beasts.

The media reporters quickly focused their cameras on the scene and began interviewing.

However, Ning Yi saw that Yang Yu and her team just pulled up their masks, explained briefly, and left, leaving the rest to the local police.

After this incident, and with the time not being late, the four of them had no interest in staying and hurried back.

Ning Yi didn't return to school but found a small hotel to stay in. He watched the news and found that the early morning broadcast was still reporting on the scene. According to the latest statistics, nine people were dead, and fourteen were injured, with six of them killed by the Clawed Beasts, and the others due to stampedes and other unknown factors.

Ning Yi guessed that this news would likely make the world headlines tomorrow.

Because it was the first time the Clawed Beasts had attacked humans by the coast, there would undoubtedly be widespread panic in coastal countries, especially in cities near the sea, starting from tomorrow.

The next morning, it was not even seven o'clock when Chen Liu came over in a hurry, banging on the door loudly.

"Damn, go buy a phone, or come stay at my place. I was woken up by your wife's calls this morning, I'm going crazy," Chen Liu said, tossing his phone to Ning Yi.

Ning Yi looked at the time, it was exactly seven o'clock. He reluctantly called Li Jiawei back, "What's up, Class President, are you trying to kill me? It's only seven."

"Remember to go to the reading room today," Li Jiawei said.

"Uh... Did you call me so early just to say that? You could have said it last night," Ning Yi almost choked.

"Oh, I forgot, don't go to the reading room first, where are you staying?" Li Jiawei asked.

"A small hotel."

"Name!"

"Tianye Road, Huxin or Fuxin, anyway, it's pretty shabby... Wait, what are you going to do?" Ning Yi asked.

The call was hung up on the other end.

Ning Yi, feeling helpless, got up and dressed, not knowing what the girl would do next, so it was better to be prepared.

After changing, he went downstairs to check out. A blue Pagani was parked at the door. Li Jiawei opened the door and got out, dressed simply with a baseball cap, a pair of large black sunglasses, a white tight T-shirt, a low-waist black jeans, and a pair of red canvas shoes.

Although her outfit was simple, it accentuated her fiery figure, with her high chest, slim waist, and the hint of white skin intentionally exposed in the middle, along with her tight, straight legs, making her look like a fashion icon.

She didn't look like a high school student at all.

Chen Liu, standing nearby, looked at her with envy and jealousy, nudging Ning Yi, "Damn, if I could find a girl like that, I'd die happy. Give me a chance..." He then handed something to Ning Yi.

Before Ning Yi could take a closer look, Li Jiawei had already walked over, carefully avoiding a pile of trash on the ground, her fair fingers gently covering her nose, and pouting, "Why are you so slow?"

Miss, it's just past seven, and it's a weekend! Ning Yi thought but kept it to himself.

After checking out, Chen Liu yawned deeply, "I'll take a rain check, I need to go back and sleep."

He then gave Ning Yi a meaningful smile and left.

"Hey... Isn't it illegal to drive without a license?" Before getting in the car, Ning Yi couldn't help but ask.

"Or you can report me?" Li Jiawei took off her sunglasses and looked at Ning Yi, "Do I look seventeen to you?"

Ning Yi's eyes moved down to her V-neck T-shirt, stopping at her deep cleavage, and he took a deep breath, "No, you don't!"

Li Jiawei's face turned red, and she kicked Ning Yi, "If you look again, I'll gouge out your eyes."

In the car, Ning Yi asked curiously, "You came back so late last night, didn't your family interrogate you?"

"Why should they?" Li Jiawei stepped on the gas.

They quickly arrived at the phone market, but unfortunately, it wasn't open yet. Li Jiawei then had breakfast with him, and after about half an hour, the phone market finally opened. They went in and picked out a new phone for Ning Yi, which cost him two thousand yuan.

The phone was from the Qivi Group's Kitty Phone. In this world, there were also Apple phones, but the Kitty Phone had more features and seemed to sell better, at least in the Chinese market.

After buying the phone, Ning Yi thought it was over, but unexpectedly, Li Jiawei took him to the most bustling area of the city and prepared to take him into a men's clothing store.

Ning Yi stopped, looking at the sign, "Miss, I have some money, but this is my savings, not for frivolous spending."

"I'll pay, is there a problem?"

Ning Yi shrank back, looking at Li Jiawei warily, "I feel like you're trying to seduce me. Although I'm handsome, I still have principles. Less than eight thousand a month, I won't do it."

Li Jiawei looked at Ning Yi, suppressing the urge to kick him, and sighed, "Forget it, I'll tell you the truth."

Sure enough, there was a story. Ning Yi nodded, "Go on."

"Aren't you going to take the college entrance exam?" Li Jiawei asked.

"Yep!" Ning Yi nodded.

"I'll take you to Teacher Gu's house; she has something to tell you, about the college entrance exam," Li Jiawei paused, then rolled her eyes at Ning Yi, "Look at you, you still smell from last night. Shouldn't you change your clothes?"

Ning Yi sniffed, and indeed, it was true.

So, he followed Li Jiawei's advice and bought the cheapest set of clothes in the store, a pair of pants and a shirt, which still cost over a thousand yuan. Ning Yi, of course, wouldn't let Li Jiawei pay, even though he was poor, he wasn't that poor.

Li Jiawei drove Ning Yi to a residential area near the school, which was clearly a high-end area, with an estimated price of at least 20,000 yuan per square meter.

However, when they arrived at Gu Ying's house, Ning Yi found out that she lived alone outside the school, which wasn't unusual. The principal lived on campus, and it was normal for young people to live outside.

The house was a three-bedroom, two-living room apartment, decorated warmly, showing that she had put a lot of effort into it.

Gu Ying was wearing a floral knee-length dress and slippers. Although she was without makeup, her beautiful face still made people's hearts race. Up close, her skin was so fair and smooth that it seemed to reflect light.

Worse still, the floral dress was made of high-quality fabric, giving it a slightly translucent look, making it seem as if her fiery body was visible through the fabric.

Ning Yi felt a bit evil, but he couldn't help it!

As he was thinking, Gu Ying poured two cups of water and handed them to Ning Yi and Li Jiawei. When she handed the cup to Ning Yi, her body swayed slightly, and her neckline dipped, and Ning Yi accidentally glanced, "Damn!"

He couldn't look directly anymore.
