Chapter 1085: Chapter 308: Unexpected Incident_4
She didnât want to leave the battlefield, to leave the path that would make her stronger.
But she also didnât want to be alone and lonely for the rest of her life.
So even after agreeing to Chen Ming, she was actually very nervous inside.
But just now, Chen Ming made it clear that he didnât mind this at all.
And he even gave her something.
A wristband emitting Spiritual Energy Fluctuation.
The color was almost pure white and looked like metal.
But touching it, some parts felt like a kind of shell, as if it were a mixture of two materials.
In that deep simulation once, Chen Ming had also given her a wristband.
But back then, that wristband was used by Chen Ming to restrict her.
And now this one is to protect her.
Cheng Xinghaiâs fingertips rubbed over the wristband, then quietly shifted toward Chen Ming in the driverâs seat beside her and gently grasped his hand.
The Shuttle Boat returned to the school.
Just landed in the parking lot.
At the edge of the parking lot, a girl hurried over to the Shuttle Boat.
Her gaze lingered for a moment on Chen Ming at the edge of the open Shuttle Boat door, then turned to Cheng Xinghai.
She easily noticed the matching wristbands on Cheng Xinghai and Chen Mingâs wrists, but without dwelling on it, she immediately said to Cheng Xinghai, "Xinghai, youâre finally back."
Seeing someone familiar, Cheng Xinghaiâs face turned a little red, and she quietly hid her and Chen Mingâs hands behind her back.
After squeezing it tightly, she let go, jumped out of the Shuttle Boat, and went to the girl.
At this moment, Chen Ming quietly put his hand behind him and shook it off.
One could say today he saw Cheng Xinghaiâs girlish side.
But he forgot the scene in the simulation where he was almost kicked in the head by Cheng Xinghai.
The power in Cheng Xinghai far exceeded that of ordinary people, presumably the result of her developing effects on her brain with her own Spiritual Energy.
And Chen Mingâs prosthetic body was made according to his own physical quality.
So, in terms of physical strength, he couldnât compete with Cheng Xinghai.
Chen Ming, thinking of random things, looked at Cheng Xinghai pretending to be calm and asked the girl, "Whatâs wrong?"
"Your brother might be arrested; it seems he has beaten someone to death."
The smile on Cheng Xinghaiâs face disappeared.
She had been very happy because she had decided about her future.
But upon coming back, she heard this shocking news.
Chen Ming was about to bid farewell to Cheng Xinghai and leave, as he also needed to find Bai Quan and He Gu,
but upon hearing this, he immediately jumped out of the Shuttle Boat with Cheng Xinghai.
"Whatâs going on?"
The girl looked at Chen Ming, as if thinking of something, swallowed nervously.
"Well... itâs on the school forum. You can see for yourselves."
She immediately turned around and hurried away.
Cheng Xinghai had already taken out her terminal, opened the student-managed school forum, and saw everything that had happened two hours ago.
And the status update from about ten minutes ago on Liao Hongsheng, the person beaten by Cheng Xinghe.
He had already been sent to the hospital, diagnosed with severe brain trauma, brain displacement with skull fragments piercing in, lying in the intensive care unit, and could die at any moment.
Of course, she and Chen Ming also saw the false rumors being spread on the forum.
And they understood why Cheng Xinghe beat the person to that extent.
Chen Ming was speechless at this moment.
Because such things are really trivial, low-level matters that can be easily resolved.
But the critical point is, why did Cheng Xinghe beat the person to that extent?
He could have just given the rumor-monger a beating, how did it almost result in someone dying?
Chen Ming understood Cheng Xinghe well enough; he didnât believe Cheng Xinghe would get carried away to that extent.
As long as they figured out the reason, theyâd basically understand what this incident was all about.
To be honest, Chen Mingâs initial reaction was that this was just childish student mischief.
But then he thought carefully and realized something was off.
Cheng Xingheâs trouble started just as he arrived, not earlier or later, but now.
This coincidence seemed a bit suspicious.
Itâs better to pay some attention.
If thereâs a problem, investigate it thoroughly.
If thereâs no problem, itâll be just something to do.
After all, Cheng Xinghe is Cheng Xinghaiâs brother, by title Chen Mingâs brother-in-law.
And the conflict between them had long been resolved, by reason and emotion, he had to help.
