Chapter 204
The piercing wail of police sirens and the alternating red and blue strobe lights looked especially thrilling on the sports field.
Lin Yu was "sandwiched" by two police officers, one on her left and one on her right, and shoved into the backseat of the police car.
Her usually impeccably made-up face was now a smeared mess.
Liquid eyeliner mixed with tears stained her cheeks.
"Dad! What on earth is going on?"
Qin Zhaoyang clung tightly to the window ledge of the police car, his voice full of disbelief.
He had just watched helplessly as his father, who had always been a figure of strict authority to him, cowered like a frightened grandchild in front of Gu Ran.
What kind of international joke was this!
Wasn't Gu Ran just some out-of-town student with a little bit of money?
In the backseat, Qin Weiguo's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
He stared at his stupid son who had nearly ruined him, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
He was contemplating disowning him for the greater good.
"Shut up, you brat! Get back there and stay put!"
Qin Weiguo snapped in a low voice, not giving Qin Zhaoyang any chance to ask further questions, and immediately rolled up the window.
"Drive!"
The police car sped away with a wail, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Qin Zhaoyang stood frozen in place.
Watching the fading taillights of the police car, his heart thumped wildly for no reason.
An unprecedented sense of panic crept up his spine.
The look his old man had just given him...
It made him inexplicably anxious.
As soon as the police car left, the gossip-hungry crowd grew even more excited.
"Holy shit, they actually took her away??"
"For spreading rumors? Is it really because of Ye Zhenzhen?"
"Who exactly is that guy? He just points a finger, and the police arrest someone? That's not normal."
A few girls who were usually jealous of Ye Zhenzhen gathered together, their tone sour.
"So what if they arrested the rumor-monger? Those photos are hard evidence."
"Exactly, where there's smoke, there's fire. That Audi with the five 6s on the license plate is real, right? That old sugar daddy of hers hasn't even shown up yet."
"If you ask me, that guy is just taking the fall. The real sugar daddy is probably playing dead in the background because he's afraid of the bad influence, and this guy is stepping up for a kept woman. Isn't he just a massive simp?"
Ye Zhenzhen stood in the middle of the crowd. The surrounding chatter made her feel entirely uncomfortable.
Her fingers unconsciously twisted the hem of her shirt.
Suddenly, a warm, large hand covered the back of her cold hand.
Ye Zhenzhen looked up and met a pair of deep eyes.
Gu Ran looked calm.
He leaned in close, his warm breath brushing against her ear.
"Wait here for me for two minutes."
The young man's voice wasn't loud, but it carried a reassuring power.
Ye Zhenzhen paused for a moment, then nodded obediently.
Gu Ran rubbed her head and walked straight toward the parking lot outside the campus.
Seeing Gu Ran suddenly leave, the crowd immediately exploded into chatter.
"Hey? Why did he leave?"
"Hilarious, did he go chase the police car to beg for mercy?"
"Beg for mercy my ass, I bet he just couldn't keep up the act! If the real sugar daddy is coming to pick her up, wouldn't this 'fall guy' have to clear out quickly? If he doesn't run now, his cover will be blown!"
Qin Zhaoyang stood not far away. Listening to the rumors swirling around, his panicked mood settled down a bit.
He looked in the direction Gu Ran had left and sneered.
With things blowing up this much, that sugar daddy would definitely show up, and Ye Zhenzhen's label of being a "kept woman" would be permanently cemented.
When that happened, Gu Ran would be the biggest joke in the whole school!
Time ticked by, minute by minute.
The murmurs on the sports field grew louder, and some people even started pointing fingers at Ye Zhenzhen, who stood there all alone.
"Vroom—!!!"
Suddenly, a deep, resonant engine roar, like the bellow of a wild beast, exploded from the entrance of the sports field.
The sound was highly penetrating, instantly drowning out all the noise at the scene.
Everyone instinctively turned to look.
They saw an entirely pitch-black sedan slowly driving into their field of vision.
Its sleek body lines flowed with a cold luster in the sunset glow.
The iconic hexagonal grille oozed a domineering aura, and the silver four-ring emblem sparkled brightly.
The most eye-catching detail was the license plate—
Qing A·66666
"Holy shit! It's here! It's really that car!"
"Damn, that license plate is real? I thought it was Photoshopped!"
"The old sugar daddy has finally shown up!"
The crowd instantly boiled over. Everyone craned their necks, staring intently at the slowly approaching luxury car.
Qin Zhaoyang froze. Why did this car look... a bit familiar?
The car came to a steady stop about ten meters away from the medical school's formation.
Thousands of pairs of eyes focused on the driver's side door like searchlights.
"Click."
The sound of the door unlocking was exceptionally clear on the quiet sports field.
The driver's door slowly opened.
A long, slender leg stepped out.
"Gu Ran?!!"
It really was him!
Driving a luxury car, and making his dad act so respectfully...
No, he had to go ask and get to the bottom of this!
Thinking this, Qin Zhaoyang turned and chased after the direction the police car had left.
Meanwhile, under the dumbfounded gazes of thousands of people, the young man stepped out of the car with a composed expression.
He casually tossed the car keys bearing the Audi logo, producing a crisp "clink."
Then, he lazily leaned against the car door, one hand in his pocket.
The setting sun hit the side of his face, outlining the young man's sharp, angular features.
He tilted his head up slightly, his gaze passing over the dumbstruck crowd to land on Ye Zhenzhen not far away.
"I heard..."
Gu Ran's voice wasn't loud, but it spread clearly across the entire field.
"...some people have been looking everywhere for the owner of this car?"
"And that they're saying I'm a fifty-something-year-old geezer?"
Everyone's brains instantly short-circuited.
They looked at the top-tier luxury car bearing the license plate with five 6s.
Then they looked at Gu Ran, who was standing by the car, looking devastatingly handsome.
Finally, their gazes mechanically turned toward the young girl nearby.
The so-called "kept woman," the so-called "sugar daddy," the so-called "old man"...
It was actually Gu Ran, who had recently been just as popular on the school forums as Ye Zhenzhen?!
"Smack!"
It was as if an invisible slap had viciously struck the faces of everyone present.
Especially those who had just been making snide, sarcastic remarks to mock Ye Zhenzhen.
At this moment, they only felt a burning pain on their cheeks, wishing they could find a hole to crawl into.
Kept woman, my ass!
This was clearly a campus romance between a top-tier tall, rich, and handsome guy and the pure, innocent school beauty!
What kind of fairy-tale script was this?
A real-life idol drama?!
Ye Zhenzhen looked at the young man leaning against the car, radiating light, and her eyes grew slightly hot.
She knew why Gu Ran was doing this.
He didn't just want to catch the rumor-monger.
He also wanted to use the simplest, most brutal, and most irrefutable method to publicly clear all the stigma attached to her.
He wanted to tell everyone: Ye Zhenzhen was his, Gu Ran's, girl.
No one should even think about throwing dirty water on her.
"Why are you just standing there?"
Gu Ran looked at the dazed girl, raised an eyebrow, and said dotingly.
"Aren't you coming over? Are you waiting for the 'old man' to come hug you?"
"Pfft."
Ye Zhenzhen laughed out loud.
Under the envious, jealous, and shocked gazes of thousands of people, she ran toward the boy who belonged to her.
