So Pure, So Flirtatious Chapter 1308 - Asking for Trouble

Chapter 1308: Asking for TroubleTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Yang Ming smiled without comment. In this case, Xu Qianxing did not say anything wrong. Sometimes Yang Ming did subconsciously violate the rules, but he was not stopped by anyone, perhaps because of his own pass or the pass which Captain Yang gave him.
“Probably.” Yang Ming nodded.
“When you get in the car, you will know. If you don’t drive, you won’t understand it. It’s really difficult.” Xu Qianxing smiled and patted Yang Ming’s shoulder.
“Maybe my driving experience is too short…” Yang Ming smiled and remotely opened his own BMW X5, which was not far from Xu Qianxing’s Leopaard [1]. “Would you like to take my car?”
Xu Qianxing looked at the BMW X5, which shone its tail lights not far away. His face was amused as he stared at the scene in front of him inexplicably. Does this car belong to Yang Ming? Although he didn’t believe it, the fact was shown in front of him. How could he not believe his eyes?
There was no shortage of students driving in the university, but there were definitely not many! In a university, having ten or eight students driving was amazing. Of course, this number referred to undergraduate students. Postgraduate students and Ph.D. students were not included. Many postgraduate students and Ph.D. students worked outside and even had their own companies. It was not surprising for them to drive to the university, just like Sun Jie.
But among undergraduates, there were very few who drove. Initially, there were Wang Zhitao, Zhang Bing, and Sun Zhiwei with no one else. Hence, when Xu Qianxing noticed Yang Ming’s BMW X5, his expression was very complicated.
Even fools could tell the difference in the level of the two cars. Xu Qianxing naturally knew that Yang Ming’s car was worth several of his cars. At this time, he had not seen Yang Ming’s license plate number. Otherwise, his expression would be more exciting to watch.
“This… is this your car?” Xu Qianxing still didn’t believe it. After Yang Ming got into the limelight, the university newspaper publication tracked and interviewed Yang Ming for a while. If Yang Ming truly drove a BMW to university, could the university newspaper publication not report it? But there was no similar news at that time!
Therefore, Xu Qianxing could not help but ask. If it were not Yang Ming’s car, and he borrowed it, then Xu Qianxing did not have to be too embarrassed.
“Yes, I also think the SUV off-road vehicle is better. Am I right?” Yang Ming said with a smile, “Zhiyun will come me. Lead the way, President Xu.”
Xu Qianxing’s lungs almost burst out of anger. Initially, he wanted to show off in front of Yang Ming and Lin Zhiyun, but he didn’t expect not to manage to show off and let Yang Ming take advantage now, grabbing Lin Zhiyun to sit in his car first. It was impossible if Xu Qianxing wanted Lin Zhiyun to sit in his car. If he were to say so right now, it was obvious that he was bickering with Yang Ming.
Thinking of this, Xu Qianxing nodded depressedly and said, “Alright, but you have to follow me. If there is a traffic jam, I will turn on the siren. You’d better keep up…”
Even though Xu Qianxing said so, he still hoped that Yang Ming couldn’t keep up. Now, his car model was not as good as Yang Ming’s. He could only show off his privilege like Yang Ming, but he still appeared a little weak.
However, since it had come to this point, Xu Qianxing couldn’t do anything. He could only get in his car and start it, depressed. Watching Yang Ming and Lin Zhiyun get in the BMW X5 together, he felt extremely displeased deep down in his heart.
After looking at Yang Ming’s car license plate, Xu Qianxing’s heart was startled again. What is this number? They’re all eights? But after taking a closer look, he found out that there were two Bs instead of eights. It was just not very noticeable in the distance.
But even then, this license plate was not cheap. Xu Qianxing was even more annoyed deep down in his heart. Why does this Yang Ming look more like a rich prodigal kid?
This car and the car plate were not cheap. Xu Qianxing had never heard of it before. Could it be that Yang Ming really wanted to conquer Lin Zhiyun? Xu Qianxing heard that some rich prodigal children changed their girlfriends constantly. They would even have relationships with a few women at the same time. Those women were also materialistic, pretending not to know.
Therefore, Xu Qianxing became angrier the more he thought about it. Lin Zhiyun is innocent. Please don’t let her get cheated by Yang Ming! Initially, he had not thought much about Yang Ming, but now, he was full of hostility.
Xu Qianxing secretly thought,* So what if the license plate number is all eights? Even if there are no eights but fours 1[2] in my license plate, it is a privileged number. I will make you suffer a bitter end!*
Thinking of this, Xu Qianxing secretly formed a small plan. In a while, he would go into oncoming traffic. He hoped that there would be traffic police on duty. At that time, his car could pass, and Yang Ming’s car would definitely be intercepted. After the interception, he would go to the rescue, so that he could show off his status.
This would be the moment that he could show off. When he watched some TV series, the actor inside appeared at the most critical moment, solved the problem, and got the heroine’s admiration.
Xu Qianxing understood this very well. Now that he wanted to regain his face, he must do something better than Yang Ming! Even if he couldn’t rescue Yang Ming, he could let Yang Ming stay there and take Lin Zhiyun to eat.
No matter what, he would not suffer a bitter end, so after Xu Qianxing made up his mind, he decided so secretly.
“Zhiyun, he just went to class to look for you?” Yang Ming drove behind Xu Qianxing and asked Lin Zhiyun.
“I don’t think so.” Lin Zhiyun shook her head. “Just after I left my class, he seemed to have just finished class too. He stopped me and greeted me in an encounter.”
Yang Ming nodded. Lin Zhiyun naturally wouldn’t have those messy thoughts. How would she know that Xu Qianxing had ill intentions? Then, Yang Ming said, “This Xu Qianxing, he may want to pursue you. Be careful.”
“Ah? No way?” Lin Zhiyun was shocked as her face blushed. She waved her little hand in panic. “I have nothing to do with him…”
“Of course, I don’t doubt that you have anything with him.” Yang Ming smiled as he took Lin Zhiyun’s hand and said, “How can I doubt you? I just want you to beware of him.”
“Then… I will stay away from him later.” Lin Zhiyun nodded. “How about I stop participating in this art festival?”
“You have already signed up. Just take part then.” Yang Ming smiled. He did not want Lin Zhiyun to feel that he was authoritarian, shutting off her hobbies, and even interfering with her academic life.
“Right, President Xu said that I can find a companion for the art festival performance. How about we perform together?” asked Lin Zhiyun.
“That works too. Let us perform on stage together.” Yang Ming naturally accepted it; he also planned it this way. Lin Zhiyun would be timid. It was better off for him to accompany her on stage.
Seeing that Xu Qianxing’s Leopaard turned into a one-way lane, Yang Ming suddenly frowned. It was rush hour at this moment. With such heavy traffic, what does Xu Qianxing want to do? He dares to go against opposing traffic in such heavy traffic?
However, Yang Ming hesitated a bit, but he still followed. Since Xu Qianxing was willing to drive as such, it did not make sense for Yang Ming not to follow. Anyway, Xu Qianxing’s car was in front of him on the road, Yang Ming was just following where he did not need to go against the car in opposition directly.
Xu Qianxing was still afraid that Yang Ming would not follow. When he saw Yang Ming also come into the lane in and followed behind him, Xu Qianxing suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that the traffic police were on duty not far from the front, Xu Qianxing thought, Bad luck awaits you!
However, even so, Xu Qianxing was still somewhat nervous deep down in his heart. His license was indeed the license of Song Jiang’s official car. Occasionally, it was indeed very useful. In general, the traffic police would not intercept him.
However, it was still Xu Qianxing’s first time going against a one-way lane with heavy traffic. As long as it was not too overboard, the traffic police would not bother with those who had the general official license. However, in the situation of blatantly going against the traffic, Xu Qianxing did not know whether they would give face to him, but he thought he stood a chance.
For Xu Qianxing’s action to go against the traffic, the vehicles that drove normally were complaining. The one-way road was already narrow with only three lanes. As he went against the traffic, he would occupy one lane. It was already a traffic jam. His actions made the traffic even worse.
However, Xu Qianxing ignored this. In order to act bad*ss, he switched on the police horn on the car and started to press it wildly. However, this brought an effect where the car in opposite traffic took the initiative to give way.
“What he did seems wrong.” Lin Zhiyun frowned, apparently not only displeased with Xu Qianxing’s approach but found it a bit shameful.
“Who knows what is he thinking?” Yang Ming shrugged. Yang Ming also violated the rules, just like today’s speeding. However, he did it for an official matter. There was no ground for blame in performing official duties.
However, Xu Qianxing used the privilege to have a meal. Yang Ming was also very disgusted. He was a little amused deep down in his heart. If you showed off in front of Jing Xialu, she might look at him in fascination. But, in front of Lin Zhiyun, it is purely looking for contempt.
Xu Qianxing didn’t think so. He believed that the girls liked the boy who was in the limelight. In the midst of him feeling proud, a traffic policeman came over from the front and stopped his car.
Xu Qianxing was surprised, but he recalled that his license plate was an official car license plate, so he was not too nervous. He opened the window and asked the traffic police, “What happened?”
“Sir, this is a one-way road. You have to turn around and go back.” The traffic policeman still gave face to Xu Qianxing’s license plate, did not punish him, just letting him fall back.
After all, this road was very long, and Xu Qianxing just came in. It was convenient to go back and go out, or else, it would be a bit too eye-catching if he were to follow the road to the end.
If it were normal times, Xu Qianxing would also go out, and it was no big deal. The current situation was that he was going against the traffic, seemingly asking for trouble.
But now Xu Qianxing was trying to act bad*ss in front of Lin Zhiyun. If he turned around and left dejectedly, he would lose his face terribly. Lin Zhiyun would definitely despise him, wasting his effort to brag about it.
So Xu Qianxing had to force himself to say, “I have something urgent to do. It is too far to go through there…”
“Oh?” The traffic policeman was stunned. He didn’t know what urgency Xu Qianxing had. However, some official vehicles were indeed in a hurry, so the traffic police nodded but said, “Sir, let me see your driving permit.”
Generally, people who had such license plates were personnel in the official system or in various departments, and some of them could be the state-owned enterprises’ higher-ups. However, only those who had connections could have such a plate. It was prohibited as such.
However, the plates that were registered through connections were usually lent out. They wouldn’t be able to attain a driving permit because it was for an individual. It couldn’t be settled like that. Xu Qianxing was in this situation. How could he have any driving permit?
The traffic policeman saw him muttering. He also had a general idea deep down in his heart, but he still asked, “Can you show your identification card?”
“I forgot to bring it…” Xu Qianxing had to force himself to say it.
“Sir, you can’t show your driving license, and there is no valid document to prove your identity. We can only temporarily detain your car. Please bring the documents to the Traffic Police Department for processing tomorrow.” The traffic policeman said to Xu Qianxing.
Xu Qianxing did not expect that the traffic policeman would not give face, so he was a little angry, but he could not vent it. He didn’t know he was already putting the cart before the horse. They had already given him face. It was true that some cars were performing official duties, instead of having a privileged license plate like him and violating the traffic rules intentionally.
The traffic policeman signaled the traffic police officer next to him to come and drive Xu Qianxing’s car away. Then, he walked over to Yang Ming’s car.
Yang Ming saw the dialogue between Xu Qianxing and the traffic police clearly. He was amused deep down in his heart. This fellow actually failed to act bad*ss but brought trouble to himself. Yang Ming saw the traffic police come over, but he wasn’t worried.
The traffic police originally wanted to check Yang Ming’s documents but saw the pass on Yang Ming’s windshield, which was issued by the Donghai Police Department. It was a document inside the system. In their view, it was much more effective than the official license plates in Song Jiang. Hence, they did not check.
When Yang Ming saw that Xu Qianxing’s car was about to be detained, he was somewhat helpless with it. But, at the moment, he couldn’t leave Xu Qianxing alone. He had to let Xu Qianxing treat him for a meal later on. Yang Ming wanted to make Xu Qianxing retreat and be aware of the overwhelming odds against him. If Yang Ming were to let him retreat now, rather than settling it later, there wouldn’t be an intimidation effect.
Then, Yang Ming opened the window and said to the traffic policeman, “Police Brother, the Leopaard in front is with us. Can you let him go first?”
The traffic policeman had seen the pass on Yang Ming’s car. He didn’t intend to detain Yang Ming’s car, but he didn’t expect Yang Ming to release the Leopaard in front of him. He was somewhat annoyed, so he could not help but ask, “Which department are you from?”
Yang Ming was slightly surprised; he did not expect this traffic policeman to be annoyed. He thought about it a little and got the idea. It must be that Xu Qianxing’s attitude was not good before, making him annoyed.
Yang Ming took out an identification document from his pocket, but it was a military document given to him from his side. He got off and handed it to the traffic policeman.
The traffic policeman was slightly surprised. He originally thought that Yang Ming was like Xu Qianxing in front, taking advantage of being the rich prodigal kid at home, but it didn’t seem so.
After looking at the documents on hand, the traffic police officer’s face changed slightly. The document Yang Ming presented was not quite the same as the general military documents. Yang Ming’s departments were affiliated with the administrative department, but they were all those special departments. These documents could not be presented casually, so they had to get another identification document.
Although he didn’t know what Yang Ming did, the traffic policeman couldn’t block him. He returned the identification document back to Yang Ming and wanted to release the car. Yang Ming said, “I’m sorry, police brother. It was him leading the way, so then, I went against the traffic. I will have him reverse and go back.”
The traffic policeman was a little surprised. He didn’t expect Yang Ming to speak so amiably. He thought, His attitude is better off than the person driving the Leopaard just now. He took away his stern face and smiled at Yang Ming. “You also saw the heavy traffic. If it were the usual time, we would just let you pass…”
Yang Ming nodded and said, “Sorry for troubling you. I will ask him to reverse his car.”
Since Yang Ming said so, the traffic police officer naturally found it inappropriate to speak too much. He waved his hand and let the traffic policeman in front release the car. Yang Ming said to Xu Qianxing, “I spoke to them. Let’s reverse out.”
Xu Qianxing was pondering whether to call his old man and have him find someone to release his car. However, he did not expect Yang Ming to have already settled it. Even though he didn’t know what Yang Ming said, he was still slightly upset. He thought, *What’s the use of reversing to go out? With my phone call, it can definitely settle it, and we can continue down the path. *
However, although Xu Qianxing was stubborn with his mouth, he was still nervous in his heart. He did not quite dare to trouble his father. Since Yang Ming wanted to reverse the car, it was not a loss of his face, so he agreed. Then, he followed Yang Ming’s car and reversed out.
After Yang Ming left, the traffic policeman who detained Xu Qianxing’s car told another policeman who was a little older, “The quality of the person driving the car behind is so much better. He holds a military identification. Even if he goes against the traffic, we can’t do anything to him. However, he politely reversed his car out. The person in the front has nothing but an illegitimate pass, and yet he is so arrogant.”
“Do you know who the driver of the car at the back is?” The old traffic policeman patted his forehead and said, “I just thought that the driver looked familiar. Now, I finally remembered it. He seems to be the boyfriend of the Criminal Investigation Team’s Deputy Captain Xia.”
“Ah?” The traffic policeman was surprised. “The driver just now was Xia Xue’s boyfriend?”
“You didn’t participate in the mysterious traffic accident case during the past, so naturally, you don’t know!” The old traffic policeman said with some pride, “Do you know how the case was solved? That is, Captain Xia and her boyfriend solved it together! At that time, I was on duty in the road section where the horrible traffic accident happened. At that time, he and Deputy Captain Xia went to investigate the scene! However, I’m not clear about Deputy Captain Xia’s boyfriend’s department, but it seems very powerful.”
“Tell me about the mysterious traffic accident!” The traffic policeman apparently heard about the case’s rumor. He suddenly became interested and asked quickly.
“This… After we get off work, let’s get some time to talk about it…” The old traffic policeman said proudly.
“Brother Zhang, I will treat you to a meal after work. Let’s talk and eat…” said the traffic policeman quickly.
