Chapter 730: Black Market Appointment

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The entire day of exams ended in fear.

After all the written exam subjects were done, Tong Su was the first to rush to Shi Man’s side to ask about the situation.

Bai Xue and Su Tang packed up and surrounded her. “Manman, I didn’t solve a few questions. I’m afraid the results of this exam are not ideal.”

Shi Man smiled and comforted her. “It’s fine. Just do your best. It’s just the midterm exam results. It doesn’t mean anything.”

“No! This can account for a lot!” Tong Su quickly denied her point of view. Under Shi Man’s surprised gaze, she explained seriously, “The total results of this exam will be tabulated into the final exam results according to the ranking. Therefore, if the results are not good this time, even if you score full marks in the final exam, you will still be a distance from others!”

“Oh,” Shi Man replied coldly. She packed her things and threw them to Su Tang. “Help me take them back. 1’11 go home later.”

Su Tang hurriedly asked, “Aren’t you going back with us? Brother Yi Zheng might be here to pick us up.”

After saying this, she regretted it. What if Manman chose not to go home for the time being because of Yi Zheng?

Shi Man did not think too much about it. She had something serious to do; it was not for a childish reason like avoiding Yi Zheng.

In other words, if she really didn’t believe Yi Zheng and really didn’t want to see him again, she would have gotten him to scram instead of letting him stay in her house to slowly search for clues.

“Don’t think too much. 1 have something to do. I’ll head back later. Don’t we have a training assessment tomorrow?” Shi Man rubbed her head and said goodbye to Bai Xue before turning to leave.

Tong Su thought that her words would more or less make Shi Man worry. She did not expect her to take it so casually. She subconsciously stopped her. “You can’t leave first. Come with me to the principal’s office to see my father. If you don’t pass the exam this time, my father will definitely have a hard time. We’ll explain the situation to him now and let him think of a solution in advance.”

Shi Man frowned impatiently. “1 told you this morning not to be nosy.”

Miss Tong Su’s temper was provoked, and her voice immediately raised several times. “Shi Man, why are you so ungrateful? Aren’t 1 just worried about you?”

Iler voice was so high that even the students in the corridor outside heard the commotion and stopped in their tracks.

Shi Man’s expression instantly turned cold.

Tong Su’s face turned red as she hurriedly apologized to her. “I’m sorry, 1 didn’t do it on purpose, but this matter is really not as simple as you think. You should follow me to see Father. I beg you.”

“That’s enough.” Shi Man’s patience ran out. She passed by her and lowered her voice to warn her. “You can think whatever you want, but please don’t do anything unnecessary, or you know the consequences.”

Shi Man’s low voice made Tong Su shiver.

She had been too approachable when she came back this time. Tong Su had actually forgotten how ruthless this woman had been in the past.

Hearing this, she didn’t dare to say anything else. She obediently made way and watched Shi Man leave.

Su Tang and Bai Xue followed closely behind.

In the end, they could not be friends with Tong Su and did not want to be too involved with her. Now that Shi Man had left, there was naturally no need for them to stay.

After leaving the school gate, Shi Man hid and sneaked into the Black Market.

In front of the towering building, the small shop was still open. However, for some reason, there was only a man in white in the hall today, waving a fan in his hand.

As he sipped the hot tea in his hand, he looked teasingly at the people coming and going on the street outside.

Soon, the wind chime at the entrance of the shop suddenly rang.

The man put away his fan and looked at the door with a smile.

Behind Shi Man, the restaurant owner immediately understood and welcomed her into the hall with a smile. “Miss, the restaurant is not open today. If you want to eat, you should go to someone else’s house.”

“You’ve already invited me in, so you naturally know that I’m not here for a meal. What’s the use of talking so much nonsense?” The girl in the silver mask walked towards the man by the window with a cold and determined expression.

“Tell me, what’s the matter?” Shi Man leaned against the window and looked at the burly man on the street outside indifferently before quickly retracting her gaze.

The shop owner hurriedly came over to pour tea for the two of them, then sensibly retreated to the kitchen where he could not hear them.

Only then did the man smile and say, “Miss, don’t be anxious. We can be considered to have become friends after a fight. No discord, no concord. Sit down and have some tea first. We can be friends.”

“No discord, no concord?” Shi Man glanced at the cup of tea coldly, but it did not enter her mouth. “When did we fight? 1 don’t think I’ve seen you before, right?”

The man couldn’t help but laugh. He shook his head helplessly and said, “Since you were invited here, you must know my identity. Since you know everything, it’s meaningless to pretend to be innocent.”

Hearing this, Shi Man narrowed her eyes and carefully sized up the man in white who was smiling warmly before getting up..
