In the end, he smoothly exited the campus.
"Damn it, when did the Fourth Middle School change the rules?" Many students were puzzled in their hearts, and at the sa ti eager to try.
The long street outside the school gate was quite congested, so Jiang Ning slightly reduced his speed. After passing the intersection, the speed of the bike suddenly increased, and the street scenes on both sides quickly fled past.
"It’s about 8 kiloters away from us, located in the suburbs, thankfully not in the countryside," Jiang Ning said.
Due to Jiang Ning’s acceleration, Bai Yuxia, sitting on the back seat, couldn’t help but lean slightly closer to him for a bit of comfort.
The wind blowing against them lifted Bai Yuxia’s hair, yet at this mont, she felt both thrillingly new and inexplicably stable.
Riding on the sa bike with Jiang Ning, she could sll that particularly pleasant scent on him. Bai Yuxia couldn’t describe what it was exactly, it wasn’t handcrafted perfu, nor was it any aroma she had encountered before.
It was like a morning when she wandered into a field, sensing the freshness of flowers, plants, and nature.
At this mont, Bai Yuxia finally understood why Xue Yuantong always said Jiang Ning was a good driver, as the passenger experience was indeed extrely pleasant.
She even wished for this ti to last a bit longer.
Jiang Ning asked, "Don’t worry, we’ll get the phone back."
Bai Yuxia softly replied, "Hmm."
Jiang Ning turned into a comrcial street and slightly slowed down, while pedestrians on both sides cast glances their way.
Unlike the little girl Xue Yuantong, Bai Yuxia grew up beautifully. Her face, figure, and temperant were impeccable, and she shone brightly among the crowd, making it hard for anyone to ignore her presence.
Adding her personality, grades, vision, talent, and family background, she was an all-around, flawless person, almost without flaws, being the ceiling in the eyes of ordinary people.
At least among the girls Jiang Ning knew, none of them had comprehensive qualifications to completely surpass Bai Yuxia.
So taking her for a ride around town on a bike was entirely different from taking Xue Yuantong.
Enjoying the attention of those around, Jiang Ning adjusted the lighting effect of the electric bike, and the next mont, it beca even more dazzling.
Bai Yuxia wanted him to be a little low-key, but was too embarrassed to say so.
Jiang Ning teased, "There aren’t any familiar faces of yours here, are there?"
Bai Yuxia responded quickly, "How could there be? I’m not famous."
"That’s good, I was worried your relatives or friends might see us and report back to your parents’ ears," Jiang Ning said.
Bai Yuxia maintained a calm expression, saying, "It’s okay, my parents have seen you before, and they are quite open-minded."
Her parents received a higher education and weren’t old-fashioned people.
Jiang Ning said, "Oh?"
Bai Yuxia replied, "Hmm."
Jiang Ning glanced around, suddenly saying, "What if I dyed my hair yellow?"
Bai Yuxia was silent for several seconds.
She was both amused and annoyed, and didn’t want to talk to Jiang Ning.
In this chatty and teasing atmosphere, Bai Yuxia gradually forgot about the gloom from losing her phone.
As they passed a pedestrian street, she even pointed at a shop at the intersection, saying, "There’s a shop in there that sells a really delicious almond latte, though it’s a bit sweet."
"Sure, after we’re done, let’s get a half-pound," Jiang Ning said.
Bai Yuxia’s lips curved up slightly, and a shallow dimple appeared on one side of her cheek, "Okay, sure."
...
Five minutes later, Jiang Ning stopped the electric bike at an intersection.
He glanced at the location on his phone, and at the sa ti, Divine Sense unfolded, scanning the nearby buildings.
Bai Yuxia took the chance to survey the surroundings. The sun was about to set, with only the last rays of twilight remaining, and the street was windy with people hurrying by.
There was a primary school nearby, but it was long past dismissal, leaving it deserted.
Jiang Ning got off the bike and walked along the street for about twenty ters, until he ca to a cent road, which was a side road with no traffic lights at the three-way intersection.
Jiang Ning looked at a tobacco and liquor store on the side road and reminded, "I think I know where the phone is, wait for here."
Bai Yuxia, though living in Yu Zhou City, hadn’t been to this area, as it was in the suburbs. Judging by the traffic, getting a ride was likely not easy.
Moreover, she didn’t know what would happen on this trip to retrieve the phone.
Not that Bai Yuxia was worried, but her parents often advised her not to be alone outside, especially not at night.
Because not everyone received good education.
Bai Yuxia never argued with her parents, nor did she try to reason with them, as she understood that bad people can’t be reasoned with.
As the saying goes, a gentleman doesn’t stand under a dangling wall. Bai Yuxia didn’t want Jiang Ning to take risks. On the way here, she felt much better.
"Jiang Ning..." Bai Yuxia called out.
Jiang Ning ca back to his senses: "I know how to handle it."
Saying this, he walked into the tobacco and liquor store, where a man in his sixties sat behind the glass counter. He was thin, with a stiff expression, and looked unfriendly, not easy to talk to.
Jiang Ning used Divine Sense to scan the inside of the store, revealing a room behind a door with a fully automatic mahjong table. Several middle-aged n and won were puffing away, and the table was covered with colorful bills.
Jiang Ning chuckled. Indeed, it’s hard to completely eradicate the innate nature of humans.
And according to Jiang Ning’s Divine Sense, the missing phone was on that mahjong table.
Jiang Ning showed the location to Bai Yuxia, who thought her phone was now in the old man’s hands.
She felt it was tricky.
Jiang Ning said to her, "Leave it to ."
He needed to think of a way to enter the secreted door.
Jiang Ning scratched his arm and asked, "Boss, do you have any mosquito repellent? Who’d have thought there’d still be mosquitoes this ti of year?"
The old man glanced at Jiang Ning, noting his young age, he lowered his guard and replied stiffly, "Yes."
