Zuo Dahai remained silent without saying a word. Seeing Zuo Dahai not talking, Luo Chao also kept his mouth shut, pretending not to know anything.
And Tang Tianyi wasn't a talkative person either. She noticed Zuo Dahai's silence and took it as his tacit approval of the loophole she ntioned, so she also kept quiet.
For a while, the whole car was silent, except for the sound of raindrops hitting the car's windshield. The atmosphere beca sowhat awkward as ti dragged on.
However, neither Luo Chao nor Tang Tianyi realized that Zuo Dahai's silence wasn't due to agreeing with what Tang Tianyi said.
In fact, Zuo Dahai wasn't speaking partly because he was pondering Tang Tianyi's words. Due to his older age and the fact that Tang Tianyi's speech was sowhat long and winding, he needed a mont to think it through and understand what she was expressing.
Moreover, as a ride-share driver, Zuo Dahai mostly drove in the outskirts of Huahai City and rarely ca to the city center.
The reason is that the roads in the city center beco very congested at night with an excessive number of cars.
Huahai City is a ga-city with a large population, and consequently, it has an enormous number of cars.
Plus, today was Friday, with many people going out in the evening, and with the rain, the roads were even more crowded.
Earlier, while Zuo Dahai and Luo Chao were still driving in the outskirts, there were few cars on the road, allowing them to talk freely.
However, just as Tang Tianyi was speaking, their car, under Zuo Dahai's driving, had unknowingly returned to the city center.
With cars in front and behind, and the roads jamd, moving intermittently, if the driver didn't concentrate, it could easily lead to a rear-end collision.
This is why Zuo Dahai hadn't responded to Tang Tianyi for quite so ti.
Twenty minutes later, the road conditions improved a bit, and the car could start moving at a normal speed again.
It was at this mont that Zuo Dahai finally understood what Tang Tianyi was saying earlier.
"Ahem ahem ahem." Suddenly, Zuo Dahai let out a few dry coughs, then his voice started to sound again.
"Miss, after carefully pondering your words earlier, I must say, you indeed have a point." Zuo Dahai said without turning his head while driving.
"Of course it has a point, otherwise I wouldn't have said it. We scientists always speak from logic, there's never baseless talk." Tang Tianyi replied confidently, also watching the night view outside without turning her head.
"Heh heh." Zuo Dahai let out a cold laugh, "Though you have a point, it's just a tiny bit of sense. From my perspective, the story I told has no loopholes!"
"No loopholes? You still don't understand what I said earlier? Should I tell you again? This ti in much simpler language, after all, you older folks tend to have poor hearing and mory!"
Tang Tianyi retorted with a sneer, emphasizing the word "mory," making it obvious there was underlying aning in her words.
"Enough, it's just a story, what's there to argue about!" At this mont, Luo Chao, who had been holding back, finally burst out. He glared at Tang Tianyi, as if warning her.
"Hmph!" Seeing Luo Chao's glare, Tang Tianyi snorted and turned her head away, unwilling to look at him.
"No, no, no." This ti, Zuo Dahai spoke up again, "Brother Luo Chao, don't use that tone with Miss Tang. I believe Miss Tang is simply confused about the story's content, and nothing more."
Luo Chao was taken aback because, unexpectedly, it was Zuo Dahai, usually the most hot-tempered, who was now playing the peacemaker!
Luo Chao awkwardly chuckled, "Heh heh, Brother Zuo, don't take it seriously. Let's skip this part and continue with the story. I've been eagerly waiting for the continuation!"
"Heh heh, I know." Zuo Dahai smiled slightly, "Brother Luo Chao, don't worry, I'll finish the story for you. But first, let settle so things with Miss Tang."
"Oh, no!" Luo Chao sighed inwardly. Hearing Zuo Dahai's words, he knew that Zuo Dahai had decided to confront Tang Tianyi today, determined to prove who was right!
However, what Luo Chao thought, Zuo Dahai was oblivious to. Zuo Dahai cleared his throat and continued, "Miss Tang, since you have this doubt, let explain why I said your point made sense, but my story has no loopholes!"
"Oh?" Tang Tianyi raised her delicate eyebrows, "Since Brother Zuo is willing to explain, I'll be all ears!"
"Heh heh." Zuo Dahai chuckled, "Alright, I'll explain. You ntioned that the gambling big shot didn't use the money for compensation, so he didn't keep things square, right?"
"Yes, that's exactly what I said. So, what's your point?" Tang Tianyi directly responded with a rhetorical question.
Clearly, Tang Tianyi was still internally clashing with Zuo Dahai. Her re rhetorical question revealed her inner hostility and aggressiveness.
"But, you also said the money was called compensation money, yet the gambling big shot didn't give the eight thousand US dollars as compensation to the black people, so it wasn't kept square. But have you considered that if this money isn't called compensation money?" Zuo Dahai spoke with a look of confidence.
"What? Not called compensation money? Are you playing word gas with ? Those black people demanded money from the gambling big shot after being attacked; if not compensation, what is it?!" Tang Tianyi argued forcefully.
"No, no, no." Zuo Dahai shook his head, "It's certainly not compensation money. How can it be called compensation money? At least, those black people never said the eight thousand US dollars they were asking from the gambling big shot was compensation money!"
"Hmph, you're just changing concepts and playing word gas." Tang Tianyi was clearly not convinced.
"Indeed, I admit, it's a word ga, but it's not playing it with you; it's the gambling big shot playing it with those black people!" Zuo Dahai said with a smile.
