Chapter 70

After leaving the police station, Qin Lang saw Cao Shunbin and Chen Guangyu being led into a police car. They almost rode in police cars every day, but today was different. Today, the police car had a wire mesh, to prevent them from escaping.

And the once arrogant Cao Hongmei was now in a panic, making a phone call.

Large raindrops fell in a torrent.

Chen Jinyong originally wanted to call out to Qin Lang and offer him a ride back to school, but seeing Qin Lang and Luo Bin running in the rain, he gave up the idea. As someone who often served leaders, his thinking was naturally more meticulous. He knew that at this moment, Qin Lang definitely didn't want to ride in the car.

"Xiao Chen, what exactly is the relationship between Qin Lang and Mayor Wu? Mayor Wu seems to be protecting him too much," Zhao Zhiwei asked seemingly casually, because even if they were ordinary relatives, Wu Wenxiang wouldn't be so supportive of Qin Lang.

Chen Jinyong shook his head: "Director Zhao, no, Secretary Zhao, I really don't know. You should ask Mayor Wu yourself."

"Heh... Xiao Chen, you sure are tight-lipped," Chen Zhiwei laughed and got into the car.

When Qin Lang and Luo Bin ran back to school, the rain had gradually intensified.

Rushing into the teaching building, both of them wiped the water from their hair. Then their gazes met, and they couldn't help but smile at each other, as if they had momentarily recaptured the joy of their childhood memories.

At that moment, the cell phone rang!

Qin Lang saw it was Tao Ruoxiang calling. He pressed the answer button, "Teacher Tao, don't worry, I'm fine... Yeah, these police officers are quite nice, they let me go after clarifying the situation..."

"Qin Lang, is Teacher Tao really your 'aunt'?" After hanging up, Luo Bin asked half-seriously, half-jokingly.

"Um." Qin Lang could only nod, hardening his resolve. If Luo Bin found out he had a crush on the teacher, his good impression in her mind would crumble instantly.

Boom!

Another thunderclap echoed in the sky.

Qin Lang couldn't help but shiver, thinking that lying too much would indeed invite a lightning strike.

However, if he didn't lie, it might be even worse than being struck by lightning.

In Qin Lang's view, this transfer to a new school had brought him not only good luck but also a romantic fortune. But he hadn't expected that this romantic fortune would come in twos, which left him feeling quite perplexed.

One was a mature and beautiful woman he had fallen for at first sight; the other was a childhood friend, a young and innocent girl. How could Qin Lang choose between them?

After returning to the classroom, Qin Lang was somewhat restless, but Luo Bin returned to her original seat. After all, she still prioritized her studies and wouldn't be as carefree as Qin Lang.

But the ripple effect was significant. The fact that Luo Bin treated Qin Lang differently became a hot topic for many people that day.

Zhao Kan, who returned to the seat next to Qin Lang, started gossiping about it. He asked Qin Lang, "Hey, what's the deal between you and Luo Bin?"

"What deal? Just a pure classmate and friend relationship," Qin Lang rolled his eyes at Zhao Kan.

"Impossible!" Zhao Kan snorted, "Luo Bin is a proud and haughty person. How could she treat a transfer student like you as a friend for no reason? Look at our Class 11, so many people, and after three years of being classmates, she hasn't treated anyone as a true friend."

"Is it that exaggerated?" Qin Lang was surprised. To him, Luo Bin was actually quite easy to get along with.

"Not at all!" Zhao Kan snorted, "Do you remember the Seven Middle School beauty campus photo album I planned to publish? Luo Bin is one of the hottest beauties in it. Although she is usually very low-key, she is definitely a top beauty in Seven Middle School. According to my judgment, apart from Jiang Xueqing, almost no one can match her—"

"Wait—did you say Jiang Xueqing?"

"Yes, Jiang Xueqing, the beauty from Class 5, a top beauty in Seven Middle School, skilled in dance, especially ethnic dance, because she is a mixed-race girl of Han and ethnic minority descent... Hey, don't tell me you know Jiang Xueqing." Zhao Kan spoke confidently about the beauties.

"Well... I do know her," Qin Lang smiled awkwardly. Jiang Xueqing was the girl who almost got harmed at the Circle Circle Bar outside the art school. If it weren't for Qin Lang, she might have fallen into the clutches of the criminals.

In Qin Lang's view, this was a great deed. So, in dealing with Andesheng, even though Qin Lang was used by the old drug lord, he was willing to be used, because eliminating Andesheng and purifying the underworld of Xiayang City was also a good deed.

"You're just boasting!" Zhao Kan didn't believe that Qin Lang had met Jiang Xueqing, a top beauty, in such a short time. Although Jiang Xueqing wasn't as cold as Luo Bin, making people hesitant to approach her, she wasn't someone who would talk to just anyone. Zhao Kan had heard that Jiang Xueqing was planning to apply to the Central Conservatory of Music and was busy preparing for the college entrance exam and the art exam, so she wouldn't have time to make friends.

"Ah, why is it that telling the truth these days isn't believed?" Qin Lang sighed dejectedly.

"It's not that it's not believed, but your fairy tale-like fantasies, who would believe them—"

Just as he said this, Zhao Kan suddenly shut his mouth, as if a dream had come true. Just as he mentioned Jiang Xueqing, she appeared. At that moment, a beauty was standing next to Zhao Kan, and this beauty was Jiang Xueqing. She held a snow-white towel and shyly handed it to Qin Lang, "I saw you were caught in the rain just now. I happen to have a dance towel. Take it to wipe off the rain, so you don't catch a cold—oh, don't worry, it's new, I haven't used it!"

"I'll be going now." Jiang Xueqing seemed unable to bear Zhao Kan's lecherous gaze and hurriedly fled.

Qin Lang looked at the snow-white towel in his hand, which seemed to still carry the fragrance of the beauty. But for some reason, he felt that this light towel was as heavy as a thousand pounds, because he vaguely sensed a powerful aura emanating from it, which seemed to come from Luo Bin in the front row, even though she didn't turn around.

Zhao Kan rubbed his eyes, seemingly unable to believe what he saw. After confirming that the towel in Qin Lang's hand was real, he said sourly, "Kid, you better confess, do you have some magic or black magic? How come all the beauties are flocking to you? One call, and you hook a top beauty; one rain, and another top beauty gives you a towel. Why can't I ever have such good luck!"

"Because you're not as handsome as me," Qin Lang said seriously.

"Pull the other one, there are plenty of handsome guys in Seven Middle School, but they don't get any special treatment from the beauties," Zhao Kan said, snatching the towel from Qin Lang's hand and sniffing it, "It really smells good! By the way, let me check, is there any embroidery on it? If there's a pair of mandarin ducks or something, it means she has a crush on you!"

"Keep it down!" Qin Lang reminded Zhao Kan, feeling that the aura from Luo Bin was even stronger.

"Boom!"

At that moment, the sky outside the classroom turned a ghastly white, followed by an even louder thunderclap!

It seemed that heaven was using this way to remind Qin Lang: the hardest thing to bear is the favor of a beauty, especially when it's a triple favor!
