Chapter 28.1 : Zhang Ling Dies in a “Car Accident” (Part 1)
Compared to Song Junqian, Tang Qingmo was more interested in the boy following behind him.
[You mean Su Jingchen? He's a child adopted by Song Junqian's biological mother. He grew up together with Song Junqian and serves as his personal bodyguard.]
[According to the original trajectory, Song Junqian and Su Jingchen would both become martial artists. At this age, they would already be Third Rank, and Su Jingchen would be a powerful right-hand man, handling many affairs for Song Junqian!]
[But now that Song Junqian has changed, only Su Jingchen became a martial artist.] The system said somewhat regretfully.
[I see.]
After listening to the system, Tang Qingmo fell into thought, and the corners of his lips unconsciously curved upward…
At this moment, Song Junqian, who had already passed Tang Qingmo, was still walking down the corridor.
But after putting some distance between them, he suddenly stopped.
"Jingchen…"
"Yes, Young Master."
"Why did I do that again?" Song Junqian suddenly widened his eyes and clutched his head with both hands.
"I clearly don't know the Tang family's young master, and I know he was bullied badly by Zhang Ling. So why did I still take the initiative to provoke him?"
Su Jingchen: ...
"My head… hurts again…"
After being rejected by Song Junqian, Zhang Ling could only leave the school in despair.
He immediately called his mother to tell her that Zhang Teng had been arrested.
After today, the truth that his father was the culprit behind the building collapse five years ago would be exposed, and the family's assets would also be investigated by the law enforcement department!
So he and his mother had to escape overseas as soon as possible!
Zhang Ling was usually picked up and dropped off by the family's only driver, but that driver had come to the school with Zhang Teng earlier that morning. When Zhang Teng was arrested by the police, the driver was taken away as well.
To avoid causing a scene, Zhang Ling could only take a taxi and get off at the entrance of the residential area, planning to sneak home.
He needed to hurry back to pack his things. His mother also needed to transfer their assets, and then rush to the airport. That way, they could escape abroad first to ride out the storm!
Thinking this, Zhang Ling began running toward the residential area as soon as he got out of the car, eager to get home as quickly as possible.
However, the instant he crossed the road, a blinding light suddenly flashed behind him.
"Huh?"
Zhang Ling froze instinctively, only to see an abandoned vehicle speeding straight toward him!
In that moment, even though he knew he had to dodge, Zhang Ling felt as if his body was being crushed by some invisible force, leaving him completely unable to move!
Bang—!!
With a deafening crash, Zhang Ling watched himself get slammed by the front of the car, his body flying into the air and being thrown dozens of meters away!
"!!!"
He rolled on the ground more than ten times, every bone in his body shattered. Massive amounts of blood poured from his body and throat.
"I… cough… cough…"
Why…?
Clearly—clearly, as long as he reached the airport, he could wait out this crisis and start over once again…
Why… did an abandoned car suddenly appear?
Zhang Ling felt his consciousness growing hazy, his head spinning.
A few seconds later, he heard the car door open. A familiar figure appeared before his eyes, looking down at him.
That familiar voice sounded from above:
"I clearly wanted to give you a way out, but who would've thought your luck was so bad—you just couldn't catch it~"
