Chapter 9: The Powerful License Plate

  The next morning, Tai Shu Zheng just woke up and heard the doorbell ringing. Tai Shu Zheng was puzzled in his heart, who would come to the door so early? Suddenly, he thought of someone. Tai Shu Zheng put on his clothes and wondered if it could be Shi Ruohan. While putting on his clothes, he walked towards the door and replied: "Coming."

  But as soon as the door opened, the person standing outside was not Shi Ruohan. Tai Shu Zhengyu looked at the middle-aged man in his 40s in front of him and asked in confusion: "May I ask who you are looking for?" The middle-aged man smiled at Tai Shu Zhengyu and said: "Excuse me, are you Tai Shu Zhengyu?" Tai Shu Zhengyu nodded, but didn't speak. Logically speaking, not many people knew his name, so how did this person know his name?

  "Hello, I'm Cheng Wen from the National Security Bureau. This is your car key. The car is parked in garage number 23 on the first floor. Here's your driver's license." Cheng Wen opened the bag in his hand and took out a set of car keys and Uncle Zheng Yu's driver's license, handing them to Uncle Zheng Yu. It wasn't until then that Uncle Zheng Yu realized this person was here to deliver the car key, which must be the "little car" mentioned by the instructor. Uncle Zheng Yu took it and said, "Thank you, is there anything else?"

  Cheng Wen smiled and said, "That's it, I've disturbed you early in the morning, goodbye." Before leaving, Cheng Wen took a few more glances at Tai Shu Zheng Yu, not expecting him to be such a young man, thinking he was some kind of big shot. Tai Shu Zheng Yu didn't pay much attention to Cheng Wen either, naturally not noticing the surprise in his eyes. Tai Shu Zheng Yu also didn't take a close look at his driver's license and put it in his pocket before closing the door.

  Tai Shu Zheng Yu was just about to go wash up when the doorbell rang again. Tai Shu Zheng Yu stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked at the ringing doorbell. He had just moved in, so why were there so many visitors early in the morning? Tai Shu Zheng Yu opened the door, stuck out his head, and saw Shi Ruo Han standing outside with a lively expression. Shi Ruo Han smiled sweetly and said, "Hey, good morning." Tai Shu Zheng Yu looked at her and laughed, saying, "Good morning, come on in and sit down for a bit, I'll go wash up first."

  Uncle Zheng Yu just glanced at the time, it's only 7 o'clock in the morning, and he didn't expect Shi Ruohan to get up so early. Shi Ruohan said: "Well, then I won't be polite." Shi Ruohan walked in, looking around the room. Uncle Zheng Yu closed the door and smiled at Shi Ruohan: "Please sit down, just moved in yesterday, nothing much to entertain you, haha."

  "Wow, I didn't expect you to be a rich person! The decoration and furniture inside the house must have cost at least tens of millions. And adding the cost of buying the house, you must have spent over a hundred million!" Shi Ruohan exclaimed, looking at Tai Shu Zheng Yu in surprise. She couldn't believe that Tai Shu Zheng Yu didn't look like a rich person at all. Last night, he had eaten a simple stir-fry from a street stall for 10 yuan, which was far too humble for someone of his status.

  Tai Shu Zheng Yu didn't know how much the house cost, but roughly estimated it to be in the tens of millions. Tai Shu Zheng Yu rubbed his head and smiled: "I don't know about this either, all these were arranged by others for me. If you're bored, you can play on the computer or watch TV, I'll go wash my face first." Shi Ruo Han nodded and sat down on the sofa, looking around the place.

  Tai Shu Zheng Yu finished washing up in less than five minutes and walked out to see Shi Ruo Han sitting on the sofa in the living room. Tai Shu Zheng Yu walked over, laughing: "I didn't expect you to get up so early, I thought I got up early, but it turns out you got up even earlier." Shi Ruo Han looked at Tai Shu Zheng Yu, who was already dressed, and stood up, laughing: "That's because you're too lazy, it's already 7 o'clock, and you still haven't gotten out of bed. The sun is going to shine on your butt!" Hearing Shi Ruo Han's words, Tai Shu Zheng Yu burst out laughing. It was a beautiful morning with such a beauty visiting, who wouldn't be delighted?

  "Have you had breakfast yet?" Tai Shu asked Shi Ruohan. Shi Ruohan shook her head and smiled, "I wonder if General Big Brother would be willing to treat little sister me to breakfast?" If Deep Sea knew that Shi Ruohan actually opened her mouth to ask someone to treat her to breakfast, he would probably have his eyes pop out. The number of people chasing after Shi Ruohan was enough to line up from inside the school to outside, and those who asked her out for meals were countless, yet no one had ever succeeded; if Shi Ruohan personally said she wanted to eat breakfast, the doors of all the breakfast shops in and out of school would probably be trampled by people.

  From yesterday's conversation, Shi Ruohan learned that Tai Shu Zhengyu was two months older than her. Although she was considered Tai Shu Zhengyu's senior, calling herself "little sister" wasn't wrong either. This year, Tai Shu Zhengyu was only twenty-one years old, and Shi Ruohan was also exactly twenty-one. Tai Shu Zhengyu smiled and said: "Being able to invite Shi Ruohan to have breakfast is my honor." For some reason, the smile on Shi Ruohan's face suddenly disappeared. Shi Ruohan said: "Don't call me senior, it sounds too distant, you can directly call me... Ruohan, or Little Huan is also okay." When she finished speaking, her voice unknowingly became much softer, if Tai Shu Zhengyu didn't have hearing far superior to ordinary people, he probably wouldn't have heard it. After finishing speaking, a faint blush appeared on Shi Ruohan's face.

  Tai Shu Zheng Yu didn't have many thoughts, and laughed loudly: "Alright then, from now on I'll call you Xiao Han, and you can just call me Zheng Yu." When Tai Shu Zheng Yu said this, Shi Ruo Han suddenly smiled happily and said: "Zheng Yu." Tai Shu Zheng Yu looked at Shi Ruo Han's expression, which was as changeable as the weather in June, and thought to himself that this girl was really strange - wasn't it just a matter of calling someone by name? Did she need to be so happy about it?

  "Alright, let's go. You decide where has the best breakfast, and we'll go there to try it out. It's a good opportunity to test my new car." Tai Shu Zheng Yu tossed the car keys in his hand as he spoke to Shi Ruo Han.

  Shi Ruo Han looked at the car keys in Tai Shu Zheng Yu's hand and chuckled: "As expected of a rich person, I won't be polite then. Hmm, let's go to Maria Western Restaurant for breakfast, how about it?"

  Tai Shu Zheng Yu didn't care where they went to eat; after all, he wasn't short on money. Two servings of breakfast couldn't possibly cost more than the 500,000 yuan in his bank account, right? Tai Shu Zheng Yu smiled casually: "Alright, wherever you say."

  Shi Ruohan didn't expect Tai Shu Zhengyu to agree so readily, and was taken aback for a moment. Shi Ruohan suddenly thought of a reason and asked, "Do you know the Maria Western Restaurant?" As expected, Tai Shu Zhengyu shook his head. Although Tai Shu Zhengyu had been in C City for some time, he only knew a little about C City, and was completely ignorant of what hotels were good or what restaurants were good.

  "Haha, consider this breakfast on me, don't be polite, don't worry, if we can't pay the bill later, we'll just work for them to pay it off." Tai Shu Zheng Yu didn't care about money; otherwise, he wouldn't have kept everyone's savings with the instructor. He himself didn't even know how much money he had now. Shi Ruo Huan burst out laughing. Although the breakfast at Maria Western Restaurant was expensive, it wasn't to the point where Tai Shu Zheng Yu couldn't afford it. Shi Ruo Huan laughed and said: "I didn't think you were so humorous."

  In Shi Ruohan's impression, Tai Shu Zhengyu was absolutely not a humorous person, at most he could be considered a relatively easy-going person. Tai Shu Zhengyu smiled slightly and said, "Let's go." Since there were elevators, the two quickly arrived at the parking garage downstairs. Tai Shu Zhengyu looked around, this being his first time in the garage, so he was searching for parking spot 23 in garage number one. Soon, Tai Shu Zhengyu found the 23rd parking spot in garage number one. Looking at the luxurious sedan in front of him, Tai Shu Zhengyu was speechless - this instructor really knew how to spend his own money, having even bought himself the latest BMW Z99, which although not very expensive compared to more high-end cars, still cost over a million yuan.

  Smooth lines, exquisite bodywork, at a glance it can be seen that this is a brand new car. The entire body of the car is silver and white, without any impurities. Shi Ruohan secretly sighed in her heart, she didn't expect Tai Shu Zhengyu to have bought the latest BMW Z99, and this car wasn't cheap either, costing over a million yuan. Although in Shi Ruohan's eyes, it didn't seem very expensive.

  Shi Ruohan looked at him, and the dazed Taishu Zhengyu couldn't help but feel suspicious. If Taishu Zhengyu was a police officer, even if he was on official business, it was impossible for him to have a net worth of several hundred million yuan. The house and this car alone were enough to add up to 30 million yuan. Was this the kind of wealth an ordinary civil servant could possess?

  "Alright, get in the car." Uncle Zheng Yu's gaze moved down from the license plate and said to Shi Ruohan. At this time, Shi Ruohan only noticed that there was a problem with the license plate of this car. Shi Ruohan had seen license plates with numbers like 001, 002, as well as 888, 666, but had never seen a license plate with all zeros before. The single-digit license plates in front were obviously used by high-ranking officials, and the latter belonged to the rich, but the all-zero license plate left Shi Ruohan wondering what it was about.

  In Shi Ruohan's heart, Tai Shu Zhengyu's identity was like a fog, thinking that she had seen it clearly, but who knew that it was just a small part of it, and even misjudged. It was precisely because of this that Shi Ruohan became more curious about Tai Shu Zhengyu, wanting to understand his identity even more, which was like a magnet attracting her to explore all this.

  Shi Ruohan didn't ask Tai Shu Zheng Yu this time, she knew that even if she asked, Tai Shu Zheng Yu's answer would still be the same, so it was better for her to slowly explore on her own. Shi Ruohan sat in the passenger seat, and after settling in, Tai Shu Zheng Yu started the engine, slowly backing out of the parking space, turning the car around, and heading towards the exit of the garage. As for whether the car was good or bad, Tai Shu Zheng Yu wasn't particularly interested in knowing, but he could still feel that driving a car was very enjoyable, and everything from the seats to other things made him feel satisfied.

  Without a sound, the silver BMW slowly drove out of the garage and joined the long stream of cars on the street. Along the way, every time they encountered a traffic police officer, he would salute without hesitation. Tai Shu Zheng Yu also noticed this situation, and Shi Ruo Han did too. Looking at Shi Ruo Han's strange gaze, Tai Shu Zheng Yu smiled wryly, thinking that now Shi Ruo Han definitely wouldn't believe that he was just an ordinary Tsinghua University student.

  "Don't ask me, I don't know what's going on either. This car was also bought for me by someone else." Looking at Shi Ruohan's hesitant expression, Tai Shu Zhengyu said this. Shi Ruohan gazed at Tai Shu Zhengyu's bitter smile and saw that his expression didn't seem fake. Moreover, Tai Shu Zhengyu didn't appear to be the kind of person who liked to show off. Besides, if he really wanted to show off in front of her, why would he hide it? Shi Ruohan believed that Tai Shu Zhengyu was telling the truth because he had no need to show off in front of her.

  Shi Ruohan's EQ was absolutely not going to let her figure it out overnight, she had to pursue her own thoughts. Thinking of this, Shi Ruohan pretended to be very natural and turned her head, looking out the car window, she felt a flush on her face. In her heart, Shi Ruohan secretly thought, oh dear, why did she hope that Tai Shu Zheng Yu would chase after her? It was really embarrassing. Pretending to be nonchalant, she turned her head back and took another look at Tai Shu Zheng Yu, seeing him fully focused on driving without noticing her, Shi Ruohan couldn't help but quietly gaze at Tai Shu Zheng Yu.

  Shi Ruohan's heart was also complicated, and she couldn't figure out what she really wanted. It couldn't be denied that Tai Shu Zhengyu was indeed very handsome, and he had even saved her from the many robbers yesterday, making Shi Ruohan have a few inexplicable good feelings towards him in her heart. Moreover, Tai Shu Zhengyu's very simple thoughts made these good feelings gradually change, becoming ambiguous.

  Tai Shu Zheng Yu still didn't know that his unintentional decision had done something that countless men wanted to do, which was the heroic act of saving a beauty. If Tai Shu Zheng Yu knew what Shi Ruo Huan was thinking in her heart, he would definitely sigh with emotion, no wonder so many people want to be heroes and save beauties, it turns out that it can really capture the beauty's heart. Of course, all of this, Tai Shu Zheng Yu, a guy with an IQ of 200 but zero emotional intelligence, still didn't have any feelings about it.

  It's just that, like Tai Shu Zheng Yu's heroic rescue of the beauty, I'm afraid not many people would dare to do it. Without Tai Shu Zheng Yu's strength, it's already good enough to be able to stand firm in front of the robbers, let alone rescue the beauty. You have to know that this is not a play, but a matter of life and death. If anyone can single-handedly rescue the beauty from the encirclement of many robbers, I believe whoever it is will be willing to pledge their life for it.

  Uncle Tai didn't know where the Maria restaurant was, but there was one thing that did - the navigator. As for using the device, Uncle Tai had long been familiar with it and wouldn't feel out of place. With his superb driving skills, he quickly carved a bloody path through the steel torrent and in less than ten minutes, the sleek BMW had already stopped at Maria Western Restaurant's parking lot.

  This Maria Western Restaurant, although named as a western restaurant, has Chinese dishes, and naturally there is exquisite breakfast, it can be said that it's a Sino-Western restaurant. Uncle Zheng Yu stopped the car and said to Shi Ruohuan: "Alright, get off the bus, we're here."

  Shi Ruohan got out of the car, looked at the signboard of Maria Western Restaurant, and smiled at Uncle Zheng Yu: "Thanks again for inviting me this time. I haven't had a chance to come here for breakfast in a long time, so today is just right." Uncle Zheng Yu locked the car door, smiled slightly, and said: "Okay, you can eat as much as you want, no one will stop you."

  "Hmph, you want me to become a big fat guy?" Shi Ruohan glared at Tai Shu Zhengyu, clearly dissatisfied with his words. Tai Shu Zhengyu chuckled and strode into the Maria Western restaurant. Soon, Shi Ruohan's face turned into a smile, apparently in a good mood. Shi Ruohan ordered a few pastries, some fried dough sticks, and two bowls of rice porridge, a very typical Chinese breakfast.

  As for what to eat, Tai Shu Zheng Yu had no opinion, anything was fine as long as it could fill his stomach. Such a life, compared to eating raw mice and roasted snake meat, was already like heavenly days, so even with money on hand, Tai Shu Zheng Yu's daily life was still very simple.

  Tai Shu Zheng Yu looked at Shi Ruo Han skillfully ordering and smiled: "How long has it been since you came here to eat? Can you finish all this food?" Although Tai Shu Zheng Yu was a fool when it came to relationships between men and women, he was a clever person in other aspects. He had already figured out that Shi Ruo Han's identity was not ordinary.

  No matter whether it was Shi Ruo Han's clothes or her demeanor, she didn't look like an ordinary girl from a common family. Tai Shu Zheng Yu could see at a glance that Shi Ruo Han's background was either rich or noble. Without exceptional eyesight, how else could Tai Shu Zheng Yu always smoothly find his mission targets?

  "It's been almost two months since I came, and I went back home for summer vacation, so I didn't have the chance to eat here. Although I couldn't finish these breakfast dishes, you're still here." Shi Ruohan quickly ordered breakfast, and the waiter retreated with a bow. Looking at this, Uncle Zheng Yu secretly sighed, indeed it's a big restaurant, even the waiters are so well-mannered, making one know that this restaurant is extraordinary at first glance.

  Tai Shu Zheng Yu chuckled and said, "Won't it be because I'm here that you're too embarrassed to eat with an open belly?" Tai Shu Zheng Yu teased Shi Ruo Han, to be honest, being with Shi Ruo Han made him feel a lot more at ease, so he occasionally joked around. Since Tai Shu Zheng Yu didn't reject Shi Ruo Han, he was able to be so casual and easy-going with her.

  "Hmm, you think it's you, eating too much will gain weight, and then you'll have to lose weight." Shi Ruohan shook her head as the breakfast was served. Tai Shu Zhengyu didn't know how much fat he could gain from eating such a small breakfast, yet Shi Ruohan kept mentioning it repeatedly. Was losing weight really that important? Tai Shu Zhengyu couldn't understand, he had never heard his instructor say anything about losing weight, and there were no restrictions on how much they ate, just eat as much as you want. Unlike Shi Ruohan, who had to control her eating.

  After 50,000 words, I will update around 5,000 words every day for 20 days, and then it will be released. Now, brothers can temporarily take a break, and killing at the end of the month is not late. The total number of words in this book after the explosion will definitely exceed 300,000 words.
