Chapter 174: Following me, you've followed the right person!

Zhou Yi looked back to the side, where Miss Xiao Xu was waving.

Perhaps because it had rained, the young woman wasn't wearing a skirt; she wore light blue jeans paired with a simple T-shirt.

One can only say that being young is good; she was full of collagen, and whatever she wore felt like it had a certain something.

Of course, "Rookie Zhou" is a different style; to borrow the words of the silly viewers: "Please ravage me, Lawyer sister."

It's that kind of slightly perverted feeling...

Seeing that the people waiting for the bus nearby were all looking over, Zhou Mouren intended to pretend he didn't know the other party.

As it turned out, Miss Xiao Xu walked right up to him, so there was no helping it.

"Oh, it's Xiao Xu. The way you put that, if I don't take the bus in person, am I supposed to have an out-of-body experience?" Zhou Yi retorted.

The way she said that was like saying, "Leader, you actually go to the bathroom in person?"

Miss Xiao Xu also realized that what she had just said seemed a bit contradictory, so she changed the subject and asked, "Eh, Brother Zhou, why haven't I seen you lately?"

"Haven't you been watching my videos recently?"

"No, I haven't had time to watch them lately. Brother Zhou, what big thing have you done?" Miss Xiao Xu suddenly became interested.

"Oh, it's nothing, just did a small thing," Zhou Mouren said nonchalantly.

"By the way, where is your car?"

Zhou Yi remembered that this young woman drove a small Benz, and the parking space was even rented from him.

"Oh, my car was taken by my mom. Eh, Brother Zhou, where is your car? Where did your car go?"

Zhou Yi looked at her silently, then said, "My car was taken by my dad."

Although there was a heavy rainstorm yesterday, for the August weather, it was only slightly cooler.

But inexplicably, it felt a bit cold.

The people waiting for the bus nearby also heard the conversation between the two; someone glanced over and silently walked a bit further away.

That feeling was like two beggars on the side of the road asking you how much tax you paid last year...

Oh, beggars might pay taxes, so never mind.

The two of them also felt that the conversation was a bit cold, so they turned to talk about today's weather and exchanged in-depth opinions on the matter.

Just then, a car sped past on the road. Seeing this, Zhou Yi hurriedly stepped back, not forgetting to pull Miss Xiao Xu back as well.

Fortunately, the car was still some distance from the bus stop, and since Zhou Yi and the others retreated quickly, they weren't splashed with dirty water.

The others were also fine, except for one young man who got splashed with a bit of water.

At this moment, he was cursing at the departing vehicle!

"F***, are you sick or what? F***, you f***ing b****, if I catch you, I'll definitely kill you!"

The cursing was very nasty; basically, in that young man's mouth, he had already had intimate relations with all the female relatives of the other party.

However, even the woman holding a child didn't say anything, because this kind of behavior was truly hateful!

The water on the ground was all dirty water, and people were just trying to go to work, wearing clean clothes, only to be splashed with dirty water.

You tell me what to do about that!

Go home to change clothes? It's already too late for work, but if you don't go home, wearing a set of wet clothes on a crowded bus is indescribably uncomfortable.

Zhou Yi had already quietly taken out his Sports Camera and started filming; it wasn't that he wanted to do anything.

It was just that this kind of classic scene is truly worth watching over and over in a video.

"Young man, stop cursing. It's just a bit of water; that cursing is too nasty," an older woman nearby advised.

The young man who got splashed was furious when he heard this, but after looking at the older woman, he didn't say anything and just walked to the side to sulk.

Fortunately, the young man didn't get very wet, so he didn't curse for long.

Everyone is a working stiff; to be honest, with the energy to curse, it would be better to save it to work a little more overtime at the Company.

Everyone is just trying to survive; no one needs to look down on anyone else.

The older woman was still there muttering, saying how young people nowadays are so fragile, shouting like that over a little water.

Zhou Yi shook his head, looked at Miss Xiao Xu beside him, and said, "How about it, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, thanks Brother Zhou. You really have quick reflexes. Tell me, do these people not look at the road conditions when they drive?"

Miss Xiao Xu said very indignantly.

"When I drive and see puddles, if there are people on the side of the road, I always slow down to pass. These people really..."

One can only say they really have no manners!

However, after this incident, everyone stopped standing so far forward. Before, because they wanted to get on the bus early, they were all crowded at the very front.

After all, there are only so many seats on the bus; if you are lucky enough to find one, you might be happy for the whole morning.

Zhou Yi was just about to say something when he glanced over and saw a rather nice car... that is, a car he didn't recognize but looked high-end, suddenly rushing over!

No, it should have been overtaking; there were cars in the middle and on the left, so the person just hugged the right side of the road and took the bus lane.

Perhaps because the terrain near the bus lane was a bit low, there was an exceptional amount of water accumulated there.

Before, when everyone got on the bus, they had to see how skilled the driver was; it was best if they stopped close to the platform so one could step directly onto the bus from the platform.

And now, all that accumulated water was splashed up.

Sizzle! Swish!

Accompanied by the high-speed rotating wheels driving through the water, the water accumulated from last night's heavy rain splashed onto the people waiting for the bus like a fountain.

Really, this time even Zhou Yi didn't react in time; the car was driving fast and didn't avoid the people on the side of the road at all.

It was truly a direct hit!

For Miss Xiao Xu and those with slow reactions, it was like that, while Zhou Yi's reaction was decent, and he dodged slightly.

Although it was of no use, he was almost completely drenched from head to toe.

F***, did I not check the almanac before going out today? Why is everything so unlucky!

Oh, wait, ever since I got the system, it seems I haven't had a smooth day, so the system is to blame for everything.

The point is, these drivers are seriously sick, right? The first one I could let slide, maybe they really didn't see the standing water on the road.

But this car, with such a huge puddle, you just drive straight through without slowing down?

There are so many people standing by the side of the road!

At this moment, even though he knew that cursing was useless, Zhou Yi couldn't help but want to let out a string of curses; he even thought that if there were a rock on the ground, he would throw it right at the car.

But looking at the camera in his hand, and then at the lens already covered in sewage... is this meeting a "noble person" again?

Subconsciously, he lifted it to take a few photos, not knowing if the lens could still be used or if it could capture things clearly.

But setting that aside, he still wanted to curse!

However, before Zhou Yi's cursing could even leave his mouth, he heard a series of vicious curses erupting beside him.

"In such a rush to reincarnate? Didn't you see people standing here? Why are people these days so lacking in manners..."

Looking at the person who spoke, oh, it was the middle-aged woman who had previously advised the young man not to curse.

Right now, she was cursing much more fiercely than the young man had.

Perhaps because she was larger, the middle-aged woman had the most water on her; her hair felt a bit damp, and her face was covered in water.

How does that saying go? If trouble hasn't happened to you, it's just a bit of fun.

Why do people always say, "Do not judge the suffering of others, do not urge others to be kind"? Zhou Yi was truly seeing it now.

It's just a pity that the car didn't stop at all and sped away; the middle-aged woman's curses couldn't possibly reach the driver's ears.

At this time, the young man who had dodged to the side and avoided being splashed walked over and immediately said, "Oh my, it seems people in the past didn't have much in the way of manners either."

"Look at that, this street-cursing is much fiercer than mine."

No need to ask, one listen and you knew he was a master of sarcasm.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman naturally wouldn't be outdone and struck back; the two began to bicker, but unfortunately, the young man was no match for her.

The sarcasm he prided himself on having honed through hardships on the internet was worth nothing in the face of the middle-aged woman's sharp tongue.

In no time at all, he was defeated.

"Sigh, what are we supposed to do now? These clothes are soaked."

"Yeah, my kid got splashed with water too."

"Why are they so lacking in manners?"

The other few people waiting for the bus said.

Looking at Xiao Xu, her white T-shirt had also been soaked, though fortunately not completely drenched.

But even so, it still revealed Xiao Xu's figure.

Zhou Yi watched; several people were complaining, but no one said they were going to do anything.

Therefore, Zhou Yi thought for a moment and said, "Comrades, we can actually call the police. Driving through standing water without slowing down and splashing us all is actually an illegal act!"

"Call the police? Is calling the police useful?" someone nearby questioned.

"Exactly, who would care about this kind of thing? Calling the police? It's completely useless," the woman who had been complaining the whole time also said.

The middle-aged woman who had been arguing with the young man added, "Illegal act? There are so many illegal acts these days, look and see who cares."

"And calling the police? If they care, I'll write my name backward!"

"Besides, even if someone did care, we'd have to waste time. We all have to go to work; the Company won't stop deducting your pay just because of this," the woman spoke up again.

This statement received unanimous approval from the people around.

Everyone exchanged words, and the object of their exchange had shifted from that car to Zhou Yi.

It was as if they had transferred all their anger toward the other party onto him; in any case, he just looked like he didn't know how the world worked.

He needed to be tempered more in society.

The remaining young man didn't speak, but looking at him, he didn't intend to do anything either; everyone's consensus was that this young man was too young.

He didn't know the dangers of society at all.

Yes, Zhou Yi sighed; everyone says young people need more tempering, but that tempering isn't just about experience, it's also about one's edges.

Those in power love subordinates who are obedient and sensible; having edges means you aren't mature yet and need to be ground down.

As a result, in the end, everyone loses their edges, and when they encounter something, they just think, "Sigh, forget it, it's useless."

Forgive others when you can, just endure it.

But everyone's tolerance only makes those people even more arrogant!

Xiao Xu still intended to help speak for Zhou Yi, but she didn't know what to say right now.

And at this moment, Zhou Yi finally spoke.

"Everyone, let's stop complaining for now. How about this, why don't you all leave your contact information, and let me keep some evidence."

"If we find this person, we might even be able to get some compensation."

From Zhou Yi's own perspective, he wouldn't say anything just because of these complaints; to put it bluntly, he was someone with a cheat.

He had time and leisure, so he could be persistent, but others were different from him.

So at this moment, he only thought that while he was being persistent, he could also help everyone seek justice.

Unfair things happen in this world every moment, and Zhou Yi was only one person.

After Zhou Yi finished speaking, everyone was thinking, but the middle-aged woman had already spoken again: "Still keeping evidence? Keep it then. I'll say it again, if you can really find that car, I'll write my name backward!"

The others didn't say anything; since this young man wanted to seek justice, then let him go.

If he could really find the person, that would be a good thing for everyone; if he couldn't, it didn't matter.

No one thought Zhou Yi was being a troublemaker, they just felt... he was making too much of a fuss.

There are too many instances of cars splashing people with water these days; at most, you're angry at the time.

Afterward, you just let it go.

I have never seen anyone actually planning to call the police to find someone like this.

Very quickly, they all left their contact information, and they also had Zhou Yi leave evidence; of course, this was done using a mobile phone.

Xiao Xu hugged her arms and refused to let anyone take pictures, no matter what.

"Brother Zhou, it's not that I don't trust your character; you are a good person, it's just that I don't trust your photography skills..."

"It's that you don't trust my photo-editing skills, right? Forget it, if you don't want to be photographed, then we won't." Zhou Yi shook his head and said.

The creature known as a woman is truly strange.

Sometimes they are eager to have people take pictures of them, and other times they won't let you take them no matter what.

Not long after, the car arrived, and everyone except Zhou Yi got on.

At this moment, everyone realized that this young man seemed to be playing for real!

Zhou Yi was, of course, playing for real; the main thing was that he didn't even know how his camera was doing now.

Come to think of it, this camera has had a rough life since it started following him; it was just dropped by a brat last time, and this time it went straight into the water.

It was just that Zhou Yi wasn't quite sure who was in charge of this matter, so he wouldn't worry about anything else and would just call the police first.

After the call connected, Zhou Yi spoke for a few moments and found out that this matter fell under the jurisdiction of the Traffic Police Team, and they suggested he dial 122.

That was no problem; he dialed 122, and after explaining the situation, a traffic policeman contacted Zhou Yi very quickly.

"Are you the one who reported the incident? You said a car passed through a puddle without slowing down and then splashed you all, right?"

"Yes, there were several of us, but the others have all gone to work, and only I am here. Furthermore, it wasn't just my clothes that got soaked; my camera and lens both got water inside them..."

"Huh?"

The traffic police officer on the phone seemed to be stunned for a moment, as if he hadn't reacted to why this would be connected to a camera lens.

After Zhou Yi's explanation, he finally understood.

"No, young man, you are quite bold. I've seen quite a few photographers, and they all treat their cameras and lenses like treasures."

"But when it comes to you, you actually dared to take it out right there."

"Fine, come to the station first."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Mouren patted his Sports Camera bag and sighed, "Old buddy, don't worry, since you're with me, you've followed the right person!"

Thanks to Qingtian Buzai, Time Passes and Never Returns, Shanhui, Blue Lightning, and Cute Tiantian; thank you to these brothers for the tips. That's eight thousand words for today.
