Lionheart Society: I am an S-class freshman, with infinite power of words.

Lin Chen suddenly looked at Chu Zihang: "I need to discuss something with you. Can I stay at your place tonight?"

Chu Zihang was taken aback: "Looking for lodging?"

Lin Chen sighed: "It's probably because of the typhoon. When I went out just now, my neighborhood had no water and no electricity!"

Chu Zihang quickly nodded: "Of course."

Despite the huge typhoon, they still risked coming to the school to find me.

Taking Lin Chen back to stay overnight was a natural way to repay him.

Two beams of white light shone straight into the classroom, followed by the deep sound of a loudspeaker.

Lin Chen turned around, and through the rain, he saw a pure black Maybach sedan.

The middle-aged man in the driver's seat of the car was Chu Zihang's biological father.

Chu Tianjiao.

Chu Tianjiao opened the car door, raised a black umbrella, and came forward, intending to take Chu Zihang back to the car.

But Chu Zihang stood beside Lin Chen, and Lin Chen also opened his black umbrella.

Chu Zihang led Lin Chen straight into the back seat of the car, and Chu Tianjiao could only reluctantly return to the car.

"Here, stick the umbrella in the latch; there's a special hole for umbrellas." Chu Tianjiao handed the umbrella to Chu Zihang. "Is this your classmate?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Hello, Uncle. I am Chu Zihang's senior. I'm going back with Chu Zihang."

"Alright!" Chu Tianjiao said, "Then I'll take you all the way back. In this heavy rain, you'll need a good car!"

Chu Zihang looked out the car window, his vision obscured by raindrops: "Let's drive!"

Chu Tianjiao cleared his throat: "Start!"

The car fell silent, and Lin Chen looked at Chu Tianjiao's face through the rearview mirror.

Chu Tianjiao looks like an ordinary middle-aged man, but Lin Chen knows how much vicissitude is hidden beneath that face.

This S-rank man's Word of Power is Time Zero, just like Angers.

However, it's clear that his qualities are top-notch; after checking in, Lin Chen's various attributes have greatly improved.

The car started up in the rain, and this expensive vehicle moved like an armored vehicle in the rain.

"Eh—" Chu Tianjiao seemed to suddenly remember something, "Isn't Chu Zihang a senior in high school? You're his senior? Did you repeat a year?"

"No," Lin Chen explained, "I've already graduated and am currently in university. Classes haven't started yet, so I just came to visit Chu Zihang."

"I see." Chu Tianjiao understood. "I heard that Shilan High School was really outstanding last year, with more than a dozen students getting into Tsinghua and Peking Universities. You must be just as good, right?"

“I studied abroad, so the college entrance exam was just a formality for me.”

"Studying abroad is a good thing; the education model is different, and college entrance exam scores don't matter. After you graduate, you'll be a 'sea turtle' (a term for someone who has studied abroad and returned to China), and your salary will be very high!"

Chu Tianjiao thought Lin Chen was just an ordinary rich kid who spent money to study abroad and get a prestigious education.

Chu Zihang said coldly, "Senior Lin Chen was the top scorer in the city's college entrance examination last year, but he chose to study abroad!"

50: A Maybach on the elevated highway in the rain! Hello, senior!

Chu Tianjiao's eyes widened: "Wow, Lin Chen, you're amazing! I didn't expect you to be so outstanding. If you have the chance, give Chu Zihang some pointers and mentor him!"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Chu Zihang is very good; he doesn't need me to mentor him."

Chu Zihang turned his head away: "My family is considering arranging for me to go abroad in the future. I'm taking the TOEFL next month."

Chu Tianjiao nodded blankly: "Alright, alright."

The car quieted down, and Chu Tianjiao drove quietly.

Lin Chen didn't say anything, but just looked at Chu Tianjiao in the rearview mirror.

Chu Tianjiao felt Lin Chen's gaze: "Lin Chen, what are you looking at?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I'm looking at cars. This one is great!"

Chu Tianjiao immediately became interested: "No wonder you're the top scorer in the college entrance examination, you really know your stuff. This is a brand new Maybach, worth over nine million! It has a 5.5-liter V12 engine and heated rear seats. I'll let you guys drive it later, it'll be incredibly comfortable!"

"This car is so luxurious that it doesn't even need a key. Only three people in the world can start it with their voices: me, my boss, and guess who the other one is?"

Lin Chen turned to look at Chu Zihang, but Chu Zihang didn't care.

Chu Tianjiao was met with a cold shoulder, so he could only calm down and focus on driving.

The raindrops outside were falling heavily, reducing visibility to a minimum.

Only when lightning occasionally strikes can one briefly see the entire surroundings.

Chu Tianjiao was a very good driver, weaving through traffic and overtaking many vehicles.

However, due to the accident ahead, there was still a traffic jam on the road.

Chu Tianjiao looked up and quickly saw an elevated road leading to the elevated highway next to him.

The entrance was deserted, presumably because the heavy rain had blocked the road.

Chu Zihang also noticed the road; at the entrance stood a willow tree swaying in the strong wind.

The willow trees obscured the road sign for the elevated road, and Chu Zihang rubbed his eyes but still couldn't see it clearly.

But Lin Chen stared intently at the road sign, the number on it barely discernible.

In a daze, there were only three numbers.

000!

The No. 000 viaduct, a section of road that does not exist in reality, is now open to Maybach.

Lin Chen's gaze was fixed on the outside of the car window, golden flames hidden beneath his deep pupils.

Chu Tianjiao drove straight over: "The road must have been blocked by the authorities."

As they got closer, Chu Zihang tried to see the road sign clearly, but suddenly rain started hitting the car window.

Chu Zihang missed that road sign.

As the Maybach drove onto the overpass, Chu Zihang stared at the dark night outside.

"What if the road is really blocked? Would you still dare to come up?"

"If you can get up here, you won't have trouble getting down. It's just a matter of offering a cigarette!"

The car sped along the elevated highway, and Chu Tianjiao turned on the stereo and played music.

"Iamtwicetwelvwandheisbutfourteen."

"Heisyoungbutheisdailygrowing."

"..."

It was a song about fatherly love, which should have been warm and affectionate.

However, Chu Tianjiao and Chu Zihang had a disagreement about this.

Chu Tianjiao really wanted to prove something to his son, and Chu Zihang also sincerely wanted Chu Tianjiao to be proud of him.

In his eyes, this was his real father, but his personality prevented him from speaking to him properly.

Chu Tianjiao seemed like a somewhat unconventional socialite, and he was slow to react to Chu Zihang's words.

Needless to say, Chu Zihang was already quite remarkable just to be able to speak.

Lin Chen listened quietly from the side; at this moment, he was a complete outsider.

The conversation between father and son should be their own business, and Lin Chen had no intention of intervening even if they were arguing.

The two argued until Chu Tianjiao grumbled, "Actually, it doesn't matter whether you go abroad or not. You can go to university as usual, study finance, and ask your stepfather to pull some strings for you!"

Chu Zihang was furious: "Shut up!"

"what?"

"Shut up! My affairs are none of your business!"

"You kid! Why don't you ask your senior? Isn't he studying abroad? Ask him if going abroad is necessarily better than staying in China?"
