Chapter 656 Don’t Worry

Zhang Heng didn’t have to wait too long before the modified car club members returned.

The president came back with them as well, and as he walked toward Zhang Heng, he was touching his pocket with one hand. In response, Zhang Heng quickly drew out his utility knife.

“You have misunderstood me.” Upon seeing that, the club president quickly moved his hand away from his pocket to show that he had no malicious intent. He then took out his mobile phone from his pocket, “You won this round. The total prize money is 240,000 yuan. Your bank account number?”

“I haven’t had time to apply for a bank card. Do you have cash?” Zhang Heng asked.

The club president was stunned when he heard Zhang Heng’s request. Was that how a master lived his life? He was shocked by the fact that Zhang Heng did not even own a bank card. Maybe only people like him could possess such masterful driving In martial arts novels, after a martial artist had trained his art to a certain level, he would start to work on his state of mind. The president figured that perhaps this was how Zhang Heng had become so skillful at driving. It was difficult for those who had not reached this level to figure out Zhang Heng completely.

“You… wait a minute.”

The club president turned around and started to collect as much money as possible. The electronic wallet, however, was widely used in the country right now. Even if most of the club members were extremely wealthy, none would bring so much cash with them when they came out. Basically, everyone had about three to five thousand yuan each in their wallets to handle emergencies. For everything else, there was always the credit card.

Hence, the president only managed to collect 50,000 yuan for Zhang Heng. Amid the hastily collected notes, Zhang Heng saw some ten yuan bills. It seemed the president had tried his best to give everything that they had to Zhang Heng.

“Don’t worry. I will send the rest of the money to you.” The young man patted his chest.

“You guys are car modifying experts. Do you know any places where I can fix my car in the middle of the night?” Zhang Heng asked after receiving 50,000 yuan. Since he couldn’t stop the car in the middle of a race, he collided with the construction site’s gate. It left a few dings and dents on the front bumper and grille. The Santana’s tires and brakes were worn out as well, and Zhang Heng had to fix all of that before he drove it home.

“Yes, we have our auto repair shop. It is usually open for business during the day. At night, it’s our playground.” “Great. You can ask your men to send the rest of the money there,” said Zhang Heng as he put away the knife.

Since the club president had a good attitude, Zhang Heng had no intention to embarrass him. After all, his purpose was to make a fortune from the rich kids here, where he managed to coerce them into racing with him. In the end, not only did they have to fork out a huge sum of money, but they were left to deal with the trauma to a certain extent.

When Zhang Heng learned that the club president was so polite, he was still a little surprised.

The members had asked him to become their special adviser for the modified car club and teach them how to race professionally. According to the president, he had never seen anyone possess the skill to beat luxury cars with a mere Santana. Zhang Heng’s experience and knowledge about racing were apparently masterful enough to be taught to everyone in the club.

They even offered to pay Zhang Heng 20,000 yuan every time he gave a lesson. It was a pity that Zhang Heng did not come to this dungeon to make money. With 240,000 yuan, it would be more than enough to fund his future activities. Hence, it did not make sense to be making more money.

So Zhang Heng rejected the offer, but the two still exchanged numbers. After that, he sent his Santana 3000 for inspection and repair. Once the car was restored to its previous state, Zhang Heng gave the car some well-deserved gas. Finally, he parked the car back in the garage before dawn and returned home with a bag of money.

“You won’t… stay up late again, right?”

On Monday, in math class, Bai Qing could not help but ask after seeing how Zhang Heng kept yawning while scribbling on the paper.

Her voice was so soft that Zhang Heng did not hear her clearly. “Huh?” he asked.

“I said… Did you not sleep again last night? Were you copying homework the whole night?” she repeated, a lot louder this time.

Zhang Heng blinked after hearing what she said, “…the teacher is looking at you.”

“Huh?!”

Bai Qing froze for a split-second. When she turned around, she saw the chemistry teacher glaring at her. Since Bai Qing was a member of the study committee, the teacher refrained from reprimanding her on the spot. If Bai Qing were a student with poor academic performance, however, she would have been instantly punished.

Bai Qing lowered her head in shame, not daring to say another word. She waited until the teacher turned to the blackboard before poking Zhang Heng again with a pen. “You were talking too. Why didn’t she glare at you?”

“Because I didn’t move my mouth just now.” Zhang Heng gave Bai Qing a demonstration, and his lips barely moved when he spoke.

Bai Qing was speechless. Although Zhang Heng was yawning all the time, he somehow always managed to always pay attention to the teacher’s behavior. Ever since she was caught red-handed by the teacher, Bai Qing did not dare talk to Zhang Heng again, paying all her attention to the teacher like a top student until the class was over. It was only after the teacher left the classroom that Bai Qing could breathe a sigh of relief.

“Actually, you don’t need to worry. She can’t be bothered to reprimand you,” Zhang Heng said.

“And… why say that?”

“Because she is worried about her family. Or, to be more precise, she is worried about her husband cheating on her. She is exhausted and doesn’t want to get involved in other troubles. All she wanted to do was to leave right away after the class is over.”

“Huh… how do you know that her husband’s cheating on her? Did you hide under her sofa last night?”

“I don’t even need to hide under her sofa to know about it. It’s so obvious. The teachers in our school don’t usually put on makeup, but today, for the very first time, Ms. He put on some really fine makeup on her face. She would have taken at least 40 minutes to put on the foundation before doing this kind of makeup. And she was in our very first period this morning. If you were to be her, would you be willing to sacrifice 40 minutes of sleep to apply makeup for the pleasure of your students in your class?” “But that doesn’t mean that her husband cheated on her, right?” Bai Qing asked after she thought for a while.

“If it’s not for work, women, especially middle-aged-have two possibilities to wake up early in the morning to put on some fine makeup-they are either going to meet their lover or their enemy. From the lipstick that she chose, it seems that she is more inclined to the latter. And she appeared to be extremely impatient today. She stomped her feet several times during the morning class, and she flipped her book very loudly. It doesn’t look like she is going to meet her lover later. “Moreover, if I remember correctly, Ms. He is a very controlling person. She controls the family’s finance and her husband strictly. She will check her husband’s whereabouts all the time. Sometimes, things will turn sour when you exert too much control on a person, especially in front of outsiders. She shouldn’t show off this kind of thing-it will inflict lots of psychological pressure on his husband. At this time, he will need a fairer and more petite opposite sex to bring back his male dignity… And that’s how the tragedy happened.”

Bai Qing blushed when she heard the explanation, “How do you know this kind of thing so well?”

“Emotional dispute is one of the major causes for committing a crime. I have studied crime before. That’s why I know quite a bit about one’s emotions.”

Zhang Heng then closed the notebook on the table.
