Found 100 Million In My Rented Apartment Chapter 4

The Superstar Looked Back, Then Slipped Away!

While they conversed, the topic between Ye Feng and Xia Qiu shifted toward her upcoming concert scheduled for two days later.

“It’s such a shame I couldn't grab a ticket,” Ye Feng remarked, his face clouding with regret. “If I had, I could have watched your performance live in person.”

Xia Qiu offered a gentle, consoling smile. “Don't worry about it. You can always catch the stream online.”

“That’s true, but the atmosphere online just isn't the same as being there. Xia Xia, do you think you’ll return to Zhonghai for more concerts in the future?”

“I’m not entirely sure. I will if the opportunity arises. Oh, by the way,” Xia Qiu inquired with a smile, “based on your appearance, you’re still a student, aren't you?”

“That’s right.” Ye Feng gave a nod. “I’m a freshman this year.”

“I see...” Xia Qiu nodded slowly, showing a hint of hesitation.

Judging by Ye Feng’s attire, she assumed he came from a modest background.

Since the most affordable tickets for her show were priced over 500 yuan, she didn't wish for Ye Feng to struggle just to buy one.

It wasn't that she looked down on him; she simply felt it wasn't worth it for someone to scrimp and save for a long time just for a single concert. She frequently shared this sentiment with her students and fans.

However, because she wasn't well-acquainted with Ye Feng and didn't know his temperament, she feared that speaking too bluntly might damage his self-esteem. Ultimately, she chose to remain silent.

Ye Feng could already decipher what she wanted to say just by looking at her expression.

Even though he wasn't truly desperate to attend the concert, his opinion of Xia Qiu improved significantly upon seeing how much she cared for her fans.

He cast another glance toward the fuel tanker.

It had only traveled about a hundred meters.

It was moving far too slowly!

It looked like he needed to find more topics to discuss.

Xia Qiu noticed Ye Feng repeatedly glancing ahead and felt a bit puzzled.

Was he waiting for something?

Before she could ask, Ye Feng spoke up first. “Xia Xia, would it be alright if I took a photo with you?”

“Xia Xia, we’ve already delayed too much time. We need to get moving.” Sister Wang cut in before Xia Qiu could respond.

She felt that if she didn't intervene, Ye Feng would keep pestering Xia Qiu indefinitely.

They had a charity auction to attend later, so they couldn't afford to linger any longer.

Xia Qiu was aware that their schedule was tight, but seeing the hopeful look in Ye Feng’s eyes made her feel too guilty to say no.

“Sister Wang, let’s just do one photo. It won’t take very long.”

After signaling for Sister Wang to be patient, she gave Ye Feng a nod of approval.

Witnessing this, Ye Feng’s respect for Xia Qiu grew even more.

She was such a pure, stunning, and kind-hearted girl. Even if there were no rewards from the system, he wouldn't have hesitated to protect her.

He pulled out his phone and began taking pictures with Xia Qiu.

As they posed, he kept a sharp eye on the tanker truck.

By the time they had snapped over a dozen photos, the tanker had finally moved out of the danger zone.

Ye Feng let out a quiet sigh of relief. Noticing Sister Wang’s cold stare, he quickly put his phone away and apologized to Xia Qiu. “Xia Xia, I’m truly sorry for taking up so much of your time.”

“It’s no trouble at all!” Xia Qiu said, shaking her head.

She then stepped back into the car.

Suddenly, the piercing screech of emergency brakes echoed from up ahead.

A violent crash followed as the tanker truck slammed into the roadside barrier.

Boom!

A thunderous explosion erupted.

Flames shot into the sky instantly, reaching heights of over ten meters.

Billowing black smoke mixed with fire rapidly engulfed the area. In a heartbeat, hundreds of square meters of the surrounding land were scorched to the ground.

The sight left Xia Qiu and her companions deathly pale.

It took a long moment for any of them to react.

Once they regained their senses, the way Sister Wang and the driver looked at Ye Feng completely changed.

Although Ye Feng’s delay had been irritating, if he hadn't stopped them just now, the distance between their vehicle and that tanker would have meant...

Xia Qiu’s face was a mask of pure shock and terror.

After instructing Sister Wang to contact the police and emergency services, she turned a complex gaze toward Ye Feng.

She had previously noticed him staring ahead.

At the time, she assumed he was expecting someone, but reflecting on it now, he had clearly been watching that fuel truck.

Now, a suspicion began to form. Did Ye Feng know the truck was going to crash? Had he intentionally chatted and taken photos just to stall for time?

Ye Feng noticed her subtle reaction, but he maintained a look of pure horror as he stared at the inferno, acting as if he were paralyzed by fear.

Seeing his reaction, Xia Qiu began to doubt herself. Was she overthinking things?

Could it really have just been a lucky coincidence?

But then, how could his constant monitoring of the truck be explained?

As she puzzled over this, Sister Wang’s voice broke the silence. “Xia Xia, I hope you aren't too shaken up.”

Xia Qiu shook her head. She then directed a smile at Ye Feng. “By the way, I still haven't asked for your name.”

Ye Feng introduced himself and provided her with his contact details.

Xia Qiu saved the information and laughed softly. “Ye Feng, regardless of how it happened, you saved my life today. I’ll be tied up for the next two days, but I’ll treat you to dinner once I’m free.”

“Sounds good!” Ye Feng nodded, then pretended to check the time and hurried his words. “Oh no, my class is starting soon.”

“Xia Xia, I have to head out. I’ll be waiting for that meal!”

With that, he hopped back onto his shared bicycle and quickly pedaled away.

Almost the moment he cleared the scene, the system’s notification rang in his mind.
