Chapter 28 Are You Dating James (1/2)
Henry was shrewd and pretended not to have heard what she just said. He continued driving the car in a steady speed without any sign of slowing down. However, their earlier destination had changed.
John and Nina were now having an intimate moment with each other, and it would be better to drive to John's villa.
Sensing that the car wasn't slowing down one bit, Nina was annoyed and threw daggers at John with her eyes. ”Tell him to stop right now.”
But John chose to ignore Nina's words and asked instead, ”What do you mean with that sentence just now?”
”Which sentence are you referring to?” Nina had blabbered so much just now, and didn't know which one he meant.
Feeling indignantly anxious, she no longer wanted to look at him and tried to push him away with all the strength she could muster.
After she had pushed him, there was now more space in the car all of a sudden.
John was eyeing the complacent look on her smug face. Had it not been for the fact that he had purposely withdrawn his strength and allowed her to push him away, was she really so naive as to believe that she could really shove him aside?
She really didn't know how to be grateful and count her blessings.
But that was beside the point. What was more pressing was to get to the bottom of what she meant with what she had said just now. ”What did you mean by saying 'nothing bad happened to you and it was just a false alarm'?
What did the Zhang family do to you?” John stared at her with a serious face.
”Well, they hired some men to follow me, trying to kidnap me. Isn't this what you wanted?” Nina sneered furiously, unwilling to take a look at John again.
Contrary to what she said, this was not his intention at all.
But right now, he was just as confused and didn't know what he really wanted.
However, when John heard from Nina that the Zhang family had sent people to follow her with the intention of kidnapping her, he felt as if he was the one who had been violated. His cold eyes flashed with ferocity and coldness.
He didn't even think of taking the initiative to fight back when Nina hit him with force before.
So how could the Zhang family have the audacity to kidnap her and harm her?
Did they think he was dead?
After a long pause, John could only utter two words. ”I see.”
Then, he asked Henry to stop the car and abruptly threw Nina on the side of the road. It was in the middle of nowhere.
Before she could make sense of what was happening, she was hit by the cold wind outside. The car had already disappeared, leaving her all alone.
Nina had asked John to stop earlier, but he had adamantly refused. Now, he just left her by herself in a desolate place.
This guy was really deliberately playing a mean trick on her.
Anyway, there was no sense in dwelling on him anymore. They would never see each other again in the future.
It took Nina a long time to get to her apartment safe and sound. She took a taxi which cost her hundreds of dollars. By the time she arrived home, it was already one o'clock in the morning. She was so tired she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
The sun was already shining when she woke up.
That morning, a professional course on criminal psychology was to be held. Normally, Professor Qin would be the one to take this class, but every two months, Professor Gu, the most well-known expert in criminal psychology, would come and lecture a class.
Professor Gu was a famous profile writer on criminal psychology. He had a lot of willing and capable disciples who were working with different criminal detection teams all over the country. Professor Gu was also Nina's well-respected teacher and mentor.
Modesty aside, she was also the youngest disciple of Professor Gu. Compared with other disciples, she was not as good in academics and was now studying diligently and practicing hard at the same time.
Nina couldn't afford to be absent in Professor Gu's lesson. She was the first one to arrive at the designated classroom.
Nina took a seat in the first row. As soon as she took out her book on criminal psychology, she heard steady footsteps behind her.
”Nina.” Although Professor Gu had gray hair and had a short stature, he was as strong as a bull and had a commanding presence. He sported a beard on his round face, and smiled kindly at Nina.
The way he looked at her was just like how a grandpa would look at his granddaughter with adoration.
Upon hearing his voice, Nina turned her body sideways and looked at him with respect in her eyes. She was as delighted as if she had seen a family member, and the unhappiness of yesterday had been instantly put at the back of her mind.
