Dragon Clan: I, Nono! Inherit countless futures!
Chapter 26 A Night of Torrential Rain
Chu Zihang stood by the window, lost in thought.
The whole world was a white blur, and raindrops pattered against the window.
It was sunny and clear just a short while ago, but the weather can change in an instant. In just a few minutes, it became completely dark.
With a thunderous roar, thousands of tons of water crashed to the ground, and the students scattered in panic, rushing home.
Soon, Chu Zihang was the only one left in the classroom. A pretty girl offered to give him a ride, but Chu Zihang just shook his head and said no.
Because he had already arranged for someone to pick him up.
That was his biological father, a driver.
With his mother and stepfather both very busy, his biological father, who was a driver, was relatively free. Chu Zihang only needed to send a message, and the other party happily replied that he was coming.
While Chu Zihang was waiting, he noticed another young boy in the corridor, also staring blankly at the heavy rain.
Chu Zihang recognized the boy; his name was Lu Mingfei. There were many rumors about him at school, and Chu Zihang had heard them as well.
Perhaps it was because the cold wind was too cold, or perhaps it was because the sky was too dark and oppressive, Chu Zihang thought that he might be able to give him a ride.
That's what he thought, and that's what he did.
Chu Zihang approached the boy and asked, "It's raining heavily. Do you need me to give you a ride home?"
The boy raised his head blankly, looked at Chu Zihang in front of him, and was surprised for a moment.
"No, no, no, that's not necessary. I live right next to the school now." He pointed to the school gate: "See that row of houses over there?"
Chu Zihang was a little confused. In his memory, Lu Mingfei's family should live in a place that was quite far away. Moreover, Shilan Middle School was an elite school, and the houses opposite the school were ridiculously expensive, which ordinary students should not be able to afford.
He recalled a recent rumor circulating at school that Lu Mingfei was being kept by a red-haired woman who drove a Ferrari.
However, Chu Zihang didn't ask anything, he just nodded. He was never one to meddle.
Just then, a deep horn sounded outside. Chu Zihang turned his head and saw two beams of white light from the xenon headlights through the rain outside the window, so bright that it was impossible to open one's eyes.
That was a Maybach, with a market price of over 900 million yuan, the top-of-the-line car from Mercedes-Benz.
"Senior brother, the car to pick you up has arrived. You should go now." Lu Mingfei quickly replied, "I'll be going back in a bit too."
Chu Zihang nodded and turned to walk into the rain.
Lu Mingfei watched his figure leave, a hint of envy in his eyes.
It wasn't that I envied my senior brother for having a Maybach, but rather that I envied the person who came to pick him up for arriving so early.
He continued to watch the rain, but the red Ferrari he had been longing for never arrived.
Nono sent him a message an hour ago, asking him to wait for her to pick him up. Lu Mingfei waited and waited, but then she disappeared without a trace.
When Lu Mingfei called her, all he heard was a cold female voice saying that the number he had dialed was not in service.
Nono must be busy. She looks very busy. Actually, her home is just across from the school. It only takes him a few minutes to walk back, but that girl made him wait for her.
No one had ever picked him up from school before; this girl was the first.
So I'll wait a little longer, Lu Mingfei thought, continuing to stare blankly at the rain.
……
"Was that your classmate? Why didn't you invite him to get on the bus with you?"
"His home is nearby," Chu Zihang said expressionlessly.
The man groaned as he skillfully shifted gears and accelerated, the Maybach roaring to life, slicing through the rain like a sharp blade across the track.
"It's raining so hard, and your mom didn't even come to pick you up. It's so unsafe for you to be out here..."
The man casually fiddled with the steering wheel while rambling on and on. Chu Zihang got a little annoyed and simply turned on the radio.
"Now broadcasting typhoon emergency warnings and road condition information..."
As the announcer's voice rang out, Chu Zihang looked outside and indeed found that the weather was extremely bad. It was completely dark, and the roads were jammed with cars everywhere.
"How annoying, I need to find a shortcut."
As the man spoke, he suddenly turned the steering wheel and drove onto a deserted side road.
"Let's take the elevated highway. There shouldn't be anyone there, so we don't have to worry about traffic jams," the man said, and the over six-meter-long luxury car headed straight for the elevated highway.
As they got closer, the road sign read "Elevated Road Entrance..." followed by the entrance number, but Chu Zihang couldn't see it clearly.
The Maybach sped along the empty elevated road, splashing water as high as a person, while Alan's "Daily Growing" played inside.
The man kept talking, and Chu Zihang was initially too lazy to pay attention to him, until he started talking about their school.
"Hey, you know what? The girl our boss's eldest son likes seems to have transferred to your school recently. He's been trying to get close to her, but guess what? She's completely ignoring him."
"That makes sense. I heard that girl is quite attractive too. She drives a Ferrari at such a young age. I wonder how beautiful she must be to be so unforgettable."
"Drives a Ferrari?" Chu Zihang was stunned for a moment, then remembered the red-haired girl who was rumored to be keeping Lu Mingfei as a mistress. She was famous for driving a red Ferrari to school.
"Yes, I heard she's not very old, probably around your age. Have you seen her at school? A girl like that must be famous everywhere. I'd really like to meet her if I had the chance."
"I don't know," Chu Zihang said expressionlessly. "I don't care."
The man's enthusiasm was met with a cold shoulder, but he wasn't discouraged. Just as he was about to say something else to ease the atmosphere, a low laugh suddenly came from the speakers.
Chu Zihang was taken aback. He hadn't quite heard it, unsure if it was static or if the CD player had been accidentally turned on. He only felt that the laughter was deep yet grand and solemn, as if echoing in an ancient bronze bell.
In an instant, the man's face changed.
Blue veins suddenly bulged from the corners of his eyes, like restless snakes or like hot iron splashed with cold water.
Chu Zihang had never seen such an expression on a man's face before. He always seemed to be laughing and joking, but now he was tense, and his suddenly constricted pupils revealed great fear.
There was a gentle knock on the car door. Chu Zihang looked over instinctively and saw countless figures gathered outside the car. They stared at Chu Zihang through the rain-soaked car window, like faceless ghosts.
Something sharp scraped against the steel and glass, a piercing sound filling the air, and the shadows drew ever closer...
"What happened?" Chu Zihang screamed in terror, "What are these?!"
I had the accelerator floored, and the speed instantly reached 200 kilometers per hour, but even so, I still couldn't shake off those shadows.
Mercury-white light streamed in from all directions, and countless shadowy figures surrounded the Maybach within the lamplight… like a group of death gods circling the bedside of a dying person, waiting to take away the soul of the deceased.
They... were surrounded!
