Chapter 662 Milktea is Soulless Without Pearls

The nearest bus stop at 102nd-Street was located about 700 meters away from the school’s east wing. There was an old commercial street called Shanghai Market, but it had nothing to do with Shanghai, just like the standardized Qilihe across the country.

Mult.i.tudes flocked to the Shanghai Market on Friday, and Zhang Heng chose to meet here because the crowd allowed him to avoid being recognized by someone he knew.

Since he was first to arrive at the rendezvous point, he bought three cups of milk tea at the shop next to him. “Are you on a date today?” A voice came from behind him.

“Can you guys just give me a break?” Zhang Heng took the receipt and sighed.

Zhang Heng knew who was standing behind him. Like the staircase incident, the college student had been waiting for him outside the school and followed him once Zhang Heng left. Since he did not take the initiative to speak, Zhang Heng had no intention to talk to him.

Who would be the one to break the silence first?

“One original milk tea, less sugar, no ice, thank you.” The college student took out his mobile phone, scanned the QR code with a smile, and paused, “This is how it works. To make sure the social system functions normally, some have to work harder than other people.”

“That is the truth.”

“Not to mention that we are in trouble now.”

“What’s the trouble? Humor me.” Zhang Heng moved aside, giving way to a young couple.

The college student followed Zhang Heng to the side, too, as they waited for their milk tea to be made.

“I thought we reached a consensus at the staircase that night? We should mind our own business. It isn’t right for us to stick our nose into each other’s business,” the college student said. “Isn’t peace something you humans always promote?”

“What then? If I do that, I’ll be giving you time to come up with something to screw me up,” replied Zhang Heng.

“That depends on your att.i.tude.” The college student’s tone was ambiguous.

Zhang Heng glared at the college student. “Where is the original owner of this body? Did he not behave well enough? What happened to him? Did you kill him? Imprison him, or try to control his mind?”

Yet again, the college student flashed his signature smile. “He has a good att.i.tude, but unfortunately, he wasn’t honest. He should have been glad that we treated him as a mental patient. After all, life is so stressful these days. Everyone complains that their work is tough and challenging. A lot of people wish that they could stay at home and play video games every day. He should have been contented with a life like that. Why did he have to go to the river, alone at night, and take something that did not belong to him? In the end, we had to retrieve it.”

After Zhang Heng heard what the college student said, he glared at him. About three seconds later, the young lady at the milk tea shop said, “No. 147, who is No. 147? Your three cups of milk tea are ready!”

Zhang Heng handed over the number ticket, took the milk tea, then looked toward the college student again. “Let me guess. The reason you guys killed the three kids was to find something? And you haven’t found it yet?”

The college student’s expression changed slightly.

“Don’t be too surprised that I know what’s going on right now. If you have already gotten the thing, you won’t be watching and following me all the time. Look at you. You are now working overtime.” Zhang Heng said, “Before you try to pull a fast one on me the next time, it’d be better if you spend more time composing a more believable story.”

The college student put away the smile on his face and said, “What happened at the parking lot earlier is a warning to you. If you don’t stop coming after us, it won’t be that simple the next time.”
