Inside the car, a faint fragrance lingered.
This scent.
"I feel like I've smelled this somewhere before, right?"
100%!
The ominous feeling in Bai Wu's heart grew stronger.
He glanced up.
Through the rearview mirror, he peeked at the back seat.
A delicate and cold face appeared in Bai Wu's view.
Her face was full of indifference.
Her eyes were full of amusement.
Noticing Bai Wu's gaze, she suddenly smirked and asked in a strange tone, "Who did you call a maniac?"
"What? What are you talking about? Maniac? Did I ever say that?" Bai Wu feigned innocence, acting as if he knew nothing.
"Bai Wu, male, 20 years old, from Tong City in Hang City, a sophomore at Jiangsu-Zhejiang University, currently on leave due to financial reasons..."
Che Xiaoxiao recited Bai Wu's personal information one by one, then her voice suddenly deepened as she asked, "If I'm not mistaken, this car should be the top model of the Range Rover, with a base price of 3.8 million. So, given your family situation, how did you afford it?"
"Ahem, that's my private business!" Bai Wu coughed.
If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.
"Fine, then let me ask you, how did you know there was a criminal planning to set fire on that bus? How did you know he would do it between Century Park and Auto Trade City? And how did you know he was carrying nine liters of gasoline?"
Che Xiaoxiao's face was serious as she added, "Bai Wu, you must answer truthfully!"
Bai Wu pulled over, thought for a moment, and said, "If I told you I guessed, would you believe me?"
"Heh!" Che Xiaoxiao scoffed.
"Alright, alright, I can tell you, but you must promise not to reveal anything about me to anyone, or you'll face the consequences!"
Bai Wu dropped his playful demeanor, his face serious as he spoke in a deep voice.
"Are you threatening me?" Che Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow.
"I didn't say that..." Bai Wu shrugged.
"As long as you haven't done anything illegal, I can agree to your condition!" Che Xiaoxiao added, "I swear!"
"Are you sure?" Bai Wu pressed.
"Sure!" Che Xiaoxiao emphasized again, "As long as it doesn't involve you breaking the law!"
"Che Xiaoxiao really agreed?"
100%!
"Phew..."
Seeing the 100%, Bai Wu breathed a sigh of relief.
After a few seconds of contemplation, he looked up at Che Xiaoxiao and said seriously, "I calculated it!"
That's right.
Bai Wu still decided to attribute everything to fortune-telling.
After all, Bai Wu didn't want to reveal his supernatural abilities.
Not even to his own parents would he disclose a thing!
...
Inside the car.
Che Xiaoxiao's gaze suddenly turned cold.
Her face was stern and indifferent as she asked word by word, "Bai Wu, I'm not joking with you! If you don't explain properly, I can only arrest you as an accomplice to the arsonist and conduct a separate investigation until it's confirmed you have no connection to that criminal before releasing you!"
"I'm not joking with you either!"
Bai Wu said earnestly, "Believe it or not, it's up to you!"
Che Xiaoxiao suddenly fell silent.
One minute.
Two minutes.
Three minutes.
...
The car fell silent.
The atmosphere gradually grew tense.
After several minutes, Che Xiaoxiao suddenly looked up and said, "I really can't believe you! Forget it, you can go. Considering you saved a bus full of people, I won't trouble you!"
"You will believe it!"
Bai Wu gave Che Xiaoxiao a mysterious smile.
"Poof!!! Cough, cough, cough!"
Bai Wu choked on his own saliva.
Bai Wu: "..."
"What is it?"
Noticing Bai Wu's strange look, Che Xiaoxiao frowned and asked coldly.
"I just did a reading for you!" Bai Wu said with a peculiar expression.
Che Xiaoxiao was taken aback by his words.
The next second.
Her delicate face flushed red.
Her delicate fists clenched.
Her eyes widened.
Filled with intense embarrassment and anger.
"You...!!"
Before Che Xiaoxiao could finish, Bai Wu continued, "If my reading is correct, you have a round birthmark on your back!"
Che Xiaoxiao: "!!!!".
