Chapter 1399: Precision Strike

The entire night.

The whole building was filled with the little stepmother's screams.

Every hour, a brick would be thrown with precision into their home.

She called the police, but it was useless; the police found no suspicious people downstairs.

According to the police's assessment, the bricks should have been thrown from downstairs, but their home was a duplex apartment on the twentieth floor.

No one else's home had any issues; they were all thrown precisely into their home. It was basically certain that someone was intentionally retaliating, but this person's retaliation was too accurate—there was absolutely no collateral damage.

As the investigation continued, the conflict between the little stepmother and her stepdaughter was also exposed.

What she said was different from the situation reported by the neighbors; the neighbors said the mistress of the house had been constantly scolding the stepdaughter, using very nasty language, and finally kicked her out in the middle of the night.

When Lu Feifei's father returned, although his young wife cried like rain on pear blossoms, his first reaction after hearing the police report was not to stand up for his wife, but to demand to know exactly what was going on.

"What is going on?"

"Your wife has been threatened, disaster struck from the sky while sitting at home, and instead of catching the culprit, you're asking me what's going on?"

She shrieked at her husband as if her cat tail had been stepped on.

Such a shrill reaction was nothing more than a guilty conscience, fearing the truth would be discovered.

But to investigate who did this last night, one had to peel back the layers bit by bit.

In the end, before the investigation could finish, Litian voluntarily went to the police station to surrender, confessing that he had done it, and he was willing to compensate the Lu Family for the broken glass.

Smashing someone else's windows was certainly wrong, but this incident also caught the attention of the people at the police station.

The young man was something else; throwing bricks at glass, his eyes seemed to have a sight installed, hitting with such precision.

He didn't hit anyone, nor did he hit anyone else's windows.

The police station needed talent like this.

Hearing that he was a high school senior preparing for the College Entrance Examination and planning to apply to the Physical Education University, an old police officer even suggested on the spot: "Don't apply to the Physical Education University, it's a waste; with your skills, apply to the police academy."

Litian:...

Which school to apply to was a matter for later; the priority now was to resolve the trouble.

The police station learned the ins and outs of the matter, gave him a perfunctory lecture, and then fined him to replace the broken glass, and that was it.

There were no other punishments, not even a criminal record.

"That's it? No way, he still has to pay for my emotional distress, he must have a criminal record, he must be sentenced..."

Lu Feifei's stepmother gritted her teeth in hatred toward Sheng Litian.

How could she not hate him?

In the middle of the night, her lover had snuck into the house, and the two were preparing to enjoy a romantic world for two and do unspeakable things while her husband and stepdaughter were both away.

After showering and changing into carefully prepared clothes, just as they were about to do something... "Bang!" A brick flew in.

The man was now in the hospital, and just a moment ago he had called to curse her, saying his second half of life was ruined and that they absolutely must not spare the culprit.

She wouldn't let it go, but the Sheng Family wasn't to be trifled with, and they couldn't just sit and wait for the results.

Very quickly, the little stepmother's tricks, which she had hidden from her husband, were investigated clearly.

Shi Youxuan didn't hold back either, directly having someone tell her husband the truth.

The result was as expected; the Lu Feifei household was in a complete mess.

The man wanted a divorce, the little stepmother cried and begged for forgiveness, and in the end, Lu Feifei's father went to court to file for divorce, firmly refusing to forgive her.

The little stepmother started fighting for the family assets again, and with the house in such a state, she naturally had no mood to keep hounding Litian.

Lu Feifei called Litian to thank him.

Litian stammered and confessed to Lu Feifei over the phone, saying, "I like you, no need to thank me."

"Beep, beep, beep—"

A busy signal came from the other end, and Litian felt very dejected.

He thought that in the end, he was still unworthy, but Lu Feifei called back, and his dejected mood became high again.

With trepidation, he answered, and Lu Feifei said: "I'm sorry, classmate Sheng Litian, I don't like you, but I can be your good friend for life, are you willing?"

The sliver of hope he just had fell into the dust once again.

Big sister Shi Ran returned and wanted to take Zichen and Litian out for a "trip."

Zihan was unconvinced and grumbled with dissatisfaction: "Sister is biased, why take them two out and not us two?"

Shi Ran retorted: "After you two finish the College Entrance Examination, I will take you two out alone, and not take them."

"The College Entrance Examination, that's too far away, how long will that take?" He was still dissatisfied.

Just as Zihan was calculating, Shi Ran quietly gestured to Zichen and Litian, who understood and went back to their rooms to pack their luggage.

Soon, each with a backpack, they gathered at the courtyard gate!

It was easy for boys to go out; ID card, bank card, phone, charger, and two changes of clothes were all they needed.

Shi Ran drove onto the highway, and the brothers finally remembered to ask: "Sister, where are you taking us?"

"To see Jiang University and the Physical Education University, to see if the schools of your dreams are what you imagined them to be. This is the last chance before applying; it's still not too late to change your mind."

"Thank you, sister."

"Sister, you are so good."

The brothers winked at each other, very happy.

They probably wouldn't regret it, but going to see them was good; just thinking about it made them happy.

However, could one just enter a university campus?

The two had never been, and they felt nervous.

Jiangzhou University.

The large characters were vigorous and powerful, but when the ideal institution of his dreams was truly before his eyes, Zichen felt a bit hesitant instead.

His sister and Litian had already walked through the school gate, but he was still standing outside.

"Come in, what are you doing?" his sister urged.

So he walked in, hesitant yet filled with happiness: "I'm afraid I won't be able to get in."

The school in his imagination was far less shocking than being there in person.

Zichen followed his sister as they walked between the various teaching buildings, and even went to take a look at the Library and the study rooms.

The few of them snuck into the last row of a classroom to listen to a white-haired old professor lecturing on history at the podium.

The three siblings were all science students and hadn't studied history in high school, yet they were captivated by the history class.

The old professor lectured very well and with a sense of imagery; listening to the teacher's lecture filled their minds with vivid scenes, as if they were not in a classroom, but on a battlefield of clashing swords and galloping horses.

"The female student in the back, you three came in late, can you tell me the reason?" Shi Ran was suddenly asked by the teacher.

She stood up, poised and graceful: "Hello, Professor Chen, I graduated five years ago. Today I brought my two younger brothers back to visit our alma mater, and we forgot your class time, so we arrived late. Please forgive us."

With that short sentence, she had already made it clear that they were not students of this school.

Professor Chen smiled slightly and pressed his hand downward, signaling for Shi Ran to sit, then continued his lecture without any dissatisfaction or other emotions.

The students were the same.

They were fully focused on the lecture, as if it were a perfectly normal thing for people who weren't students of the school to come in and listen to the class.

The three of them waited until the class ended and were just about to leave.

However, the students gathered around them.

They were mainly surrounding Shi Ran, asking questions out of curiosity.
