Chapter 45: The Stolen Time

Back at the stairwell on the twenty-sixth floor, the elevator was already power ed on and climbing up.

The residents in the stairwell took their weapons and went back into their rooms. After putting their weapons back in their original places, they fell back asleep. The memory of this period was sealed away by the Fungal Demon.

The cameras in the hallway, under the control of the monitoring room, started working again. For the places hit by bullets, security guards controlled by the Fungal Demon went over and changed the shape of the damage, making it look like a bored person had smashed something and chipped off a piece.

As for the bullets shot into the wall, they used a special tool to reach into the bullet holes. With the combined force of strong magnetism and a special clip at the end, they pulled the bullets out, and then casually stuffed some things inside as a temporary fix. They would find maintenance workers to repair it after dawn. As for why it was damaged, there was no record in the surveillance footage.

The bullets scattered in the stairwell were cleaned up and cleared away. The security guards who worked until the end finished cleaning up the mess and returned to their positions before the incident happened. When their self-awareness returned, they just thought they were too sleepy and had dozed off.

The Parasites that had rushed in turned around and retreated. They were orderly and not chaotic, blankly returning to where they came from; the crowd that returned to the open plaza of Hongye Building also went back to their original spots.

The ones playing skateboards went back to the northwest side and continued their earlier chats, just not remembering that they had once asked two people to buy cigarettes; Young Master Wang and Young Master Kai’s group also returned to the benches where they had gathered, leaving no memory of the middle incident at all. That little bit of time seemed to have been unknowingly stolen, but no one noticed.

Only one girl was a little worried about going home too late. When she frequently checked her watch, she felt that time had suddenly passed very quickly, but this kind of situation was very common. Occasionally, when spacing out in class, time would suddenly slip away; when idling at work, time would suddenly slip away; when having fun, time would suddenly flash by…

Someone raised a hand to smoke, but their mouth only held empty air, and then they secretly wondered why they thought they still had a cigarette between their fingers when they were clearly out? So they lit another one, continued smoking, listening to their buddies talk nonsense, or continuing to talk nonsense with their buddies…

When dawn broke, many people would still have backaches, or even pulled arm muscles to varying degrees. They would only find it strange, clearly they went to bed early last night and didn’t do anything, so why would this happen?

Some of them might go to the hospital; but more who could endure it, reluctant to take a sick day and lose a day’s wages, would still go to work; some kids might try to be clever and say they felt sick to ask for a day off from school, but only a few succeeded; a few with easy jobs, or for various reasons whose bosses dared not, could not, or did not want to control them, would just make a phone call or send a message saying they felt sick, habitually using it as an excuse to take a day off…

The time of countless people was stolen, but none of them remembered, so the stolen time was as if it had never existed.

Queen Huang waited by the motorcycle for Little An to drive her car out of the underground garage.

Next to the ones playing skateboards, among that group of idle men and women, several girls were attracted by Queen Huang’s gorgeousness, looking at her figure, chest, and face, talking with a bit of jealousy, or pure admiration.

Queen Huang looked at them, and suddenly, raised her middle finger at them, and on her face, she showed a provocative wildness. After that, as if it still was not stimulating enough, she single-handedly slid from her chest, to her waist, stopping at her thigh, brazenly using her figure to mock those girls.

Finally, Queen Huang draped her arm over Chen Fengshi’s shoulder next to her, stuck out her tongue, licked his helmet, and then raised her fist at those girls, waving it with threat and provocation!

“Damn! You bitch, you looking for trouble!” Those girls were extremely angry!

What was wrong with them? What made her so arrogant? Was being pretty such a big deal? Was having a good figure such a big deal? Who gave her the privilege to be so cocky!

Instantly, a girl who exploded cursed angrily and strode over. The few partners behind her all followed in anger. That group of guys, who were originally idle, suddenly found their female partners exploding and heading toward a beauty and a guy in a riding suit. Although they didn’t know the situation, they all stood up in unison and followed to back them up.

When Queen Huang did these things, Chen Fengshi didn’t notice at first. When he did notice, she was already leaning over to lick his helmet, and it was too late for him to stop her; the people over there had already been provoked into exploding.

Then, as if the timing was perfectly calculated, Little An drove a red sports car right out of the underground garage exit and stopped there.

Queen Huang raised her middle finger at that group of people again, then pointed at Chen Fengshi, wildly shouting at them: “If you have the guts to beat him, I’ll come back and let you do whatever you want with me!”

Then, with a twist of her body, she directly got into the car driven by Little An, which was only about three meters away.

What was Chen Fengshi feeling… He really wanted to kick Queen Huang in the butt!

However, his sense of morality, and the proper shame a normal person should have, stopped him from doing such a thing—beating a woman in front of a group of people.

“Hey—” Chen Fengshi shouted before the car door closed. Then, Little An rolled down the window, and he said directly: “This chick deliberately caused trouble for me!”

Little An in the car certainly saw the group of people coming over and cursing, but she gave Chen Fengshi a very cold, emotionless fake smile, which only lasted a brief moment. “Beautiful women naturally equal a lot of trouble. She just showed you enough eye candy while naked, so you should do something! Bye—see you another day!”

Queen Huang had a sweet smile on her face and even gave Chen Fengshi a seemingly affectionate flying kiss, clearly leaving him no room to stay out of it.

That group of people had already come over. Little An didn’t wait for the window to close and just started the car directly. A few men and women in front wanted to block Queen Huang from leaving, but Little An completely ignored them, directly doing a intimidating tire-burning acceleration start!

Yes, just rushed straight out!

That group of people saw the car rushing over and instinctively backed away in fear—and so, Little An just drove away like that.

What else could Chen Fengshi say?

He felt that his earlier thought needed to be revised. Perhaps Little An’s cold shell had been peeled off layer by layer, but who knew how many layers were still behind!

But he still had to sigh that women were fickle. Weren’t those two on the same side? How did she suddenly help Queen Huang and take pleasure in tricking him?

Fight with this group of people? No need, to put it bluntly, they were all victims.

Chen Fengshi directly got on the motorcycle, hit the gas, and took off.

That group of people immediately ran wildly, shouting loudly: “Stop that troublemaking bastard!”

The group of skateboard guys on the side were originally watching the fun, but now they all stepped on their skateboards and chased at the edge of the plaza, trying to block the openings between the flowerbeds that could let a motorcycle out.

They didn’t want to help fight or anything, but that group of people were all familiar faces who came here often. They were certainly happy to help at this level, even if it was just to see the ‘fun’ of a group of people beating up Chen Fengshi later.

In this plaza area, there were flowerbeds and benches blocking the way every short distance. Chen Fengshi riding the motorcycle couldn’t shake off that group of skateboarders for a while, not to mention their shouts attracted unrelated people along the way to join the fun; at best, they blocked the intersections not letting him out, at worst, they chased him aggressively.

If he continued forward like this, Chen Fengshi felt it would get even more troublesome, even though it was already very troublesome right now.

Several people chasing for fun grabbed steel pipes and waved them, trying to smash him off the bike. Fortunately, he dodged in time by lowering his head, and smoothly snatched a pipe. When he met the second person rushing head-on to intercept him, he was angry. As he rushed past, he conveniently lifted the pipe and beautifully let go—so that person couldn’t dodge in time and was knocked down to the ground by the dropped pipe, hugging their shoulder and howling in pain!

Rushing like this for a stretch, Chen Fengshi finally saw a gap he could rush out through. Although someone wanted to rush over to block the road, he could obviously rush through first.

However, before he could be happy, he saw a group of car lights swaying ahead, and many headlights lit up on the road one after another.

The trouble he was most worried about really came. This group of idle people wandering around in the middle of the night found some fun. The ones riding motorcycles all rushed to block him, and the ones with cars directly waited on the road to intercept him!

Among that large group of motorcycles coming from the front, Chen Fengshi recognized the models of several bikes; they were exactly the group that used to hang out with Young Master Wang and Young Master Kai.

Chen Fengshi didn’t even have the mood to sigh anymore. How many things had happened already? It was simply more intense than all the things he encountered combined when he was fooling around outside for a whole year in the past!

The group that hung out with Young Master Wang came head-on, and the gap between the flowerbeds that he could rush through was blocked again. The crowd chasing behind had already started shouting excitedly.

Yeah, this was the rhythm of not being able to escape. Could he dare to turn the car around and run people over?

Across the flowerbed by the roadside, many car owners had their windows open, their sunroofs open, and their roofs down, waiting with great interest to watch the upcoming show.

Little An drove Queen Huang’s car, stopped by the road, and watched.

“Oh, the excitement of one against a group is really worth looking forward to.” Queen Huang, as if it had nothing to do with her, lit a cigarette, waiting to see how Chen Fengshi would beautifully fight one against a group.

“It’s not a big deal for him.” Little An said flatly; originally, she wasn’t worried that Chen Fengshi would get beaten down.

However, just when the crowd was waiting to see the excitement of a fight, Chen Fengshi suddenly rode his motorcycle toward the flowerbed!

The height of that flowerbed, and the key point was he was not driving an off-road vehicle, crashing over like this, wasn’t he seeking death?

The crowd was dumbfounded, and some even suspected that he was too scared of being beaten up, so he just crashed into the wall to hurt himself!

Even a trace of confusion showed in Little An’s eyes, and Queen Huang didn’t know what he was trying to do either.

Just as Chen Fengshi’s motorcycle was about to tilt and crash into the flowerbed, suddenly, he slammed the front brake hard. When the motorcycle instantly flipped forward, he clamped the bike body with his feet, making the throwing force of the flipped-up rear wheel more appropriate!

So, in front of a group of people who watched in stunned amazement, Chen Fengshi and the motorcycle together flipped and flew up from the flat ground, leaped over the flowerbed, spun perfectly to land on the rear wheel, followed closely by the front wheel landing, and flew steadily onto the sidewalk!

“Holy crap—” Among the group of people playing motorcycles in the plaza, someone couldn’t help but exclaim out loud.

This theory wasn’t hard, and it should be doable for anyone, as long as they had enough guts, and as long as their controlled strength was just right, anyone could do it.

However, the two ‘as long ass’ also determined that very few people could actually do it.

Chen Fengshi raised his left middle finger high, giving it to the surrounding crowd. As he controlled the bike forward, he saw Little An and Queen Huang looking very satisfied and pleasantly surprised like they were watching a good show. He was very dissatisfied, so he specifically lowered his middle finger, pointed at the two of them, pushed it up high, then lowered it, then pushed it up high again!
