Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 263 Shield

Seeing that he couldn't get Ai Liang to listen to him verbally, Hai Tu ran all the way to Ai Liang.

"Anything else?"

Ai Liang stared expressionlessly at the sea hare in front of her.

"I……"

The sea hare stammered for a long time, its face turning pale and then red, unable to utter a single complete sentence.

"Can you please not block the way if you don't have to?"

Ai Liang bypassed the sea hare and continued towards the garage door.

Sea Hare clenched its fists tightly.

He felt extremely hurt to be ignored by someone he once admired.

"Messenger, you weren't always like this."

The sea hare said in despair.

"Yes, I admit that I did not keep the oath I made in front of you back then, to face all injustices, and I backed down in the case of Hu Yingshao's kidnapping."

Ai Liang's steps did not stop.

"It's not because I'm afraid of death. I have a younger sister in school. If I die, there will be no one to take care of her!"

"For the sake of so-called justice, you ended up like this. Your experience once made me feel very desperate."

Sea Hare roared at Ai Liang's retreating figure with all its might, "But I will do my part in my own way next! I will never stand idly by again!"

Ai Liang stopped and turned around when she reached the door.

Just when the sea hare thought he would say something.

Ai Liang raised her hand and grabbed the door frame with a swift motion, thoughtfully pulling down the roller shutter for him.

With a sharp clang, the garage fell silent.

The sea hare stared blankly at the garage door.

It took him a while to realize what was happening, and he returned to his computer desk looking dejected.

…………

Ai Liang was too lazy to listen to Hai Tu's inner thoughts.

To reiterate, he was not a messenger.

The sea hare is at best a familiar stranger whom I've only just met.

The only reason they were willing to remind him that this matter was complicated was because of the messenger.

Admittedly, Ai Liang wants to change herself.

But he wanted to recover his emotions, not to become a saint.

Ai Liang only cares about the few people around her.

He would readily offer his help if a stranger was in any life-threatening situation.

Let's just forget about the other trivial matters.

The taxi industry in Qianhua City faces considerable competition.

Before getting out of the car, Ai Liang asked the driver to wait a moment, and the driver agreed without hesitation.

After leaving the garage, Ai Liang returned to the taxi she had come from.

After Ai Liang settled in, she said, "Master, let's go to the snack street near Qianhua Experimental Middle School."

"okay."

The driver happily stepped on the gas and set off.

The destination is the Experimental Middle School.

The driver shifted the conversation from the security situation in Qianhua City to the children.

"Experimental Middle School is a good school. I heard that the admission scores are incredibly high. Do you have any younger siblings studying there?"

Ai Liang leaned back in her seat, tilting her head to the side as she looked out the window: "No, there's just someone I know there."

"An acquaintance... Hey, it's pretty good to have an acquaintance there. The teachers at Experimental Middle School are paid very well, and they don't even teach for four days a week in total."

The students in the class are all smart and easy to manage, so there's no need to worry about their grades. They can do whatever they want with the rest of their time.

By the way, I heard that teachers at the Experimental Middle School tutor students on weekends and earn several thousand yuan a day. Is that true?

"Wouldn't that mean tutoring someone two days a week would equal our monthly salary?"

To avoid making the atmosphere in the car too dull.

The driver gripped the steering wheel and drove, his mouth chattering away like a machine gun, constantly spouting idle gossip.

"That's how it is with high-end tutors, but for average tutors, one-on-one tutoring can only bring in a maximum of seven or eight hundred yuan a day, and they also have to ensure that the student gets good results. Sometimes the pressure on tutors is even greater than that on the students."

Ai Liang did not pretend to be mute when the driver asked her questions.

Aside from people you don't want to talk to.

If someone tries to talk to Ai Liang, he won't leave them hanging.

He still possessed these basic manners.

The driver, after receiving Ai Liang's reply, got even more excited: "Even if you charge a few hundred yuan less a day, it's still good. If you open a tutoring class and take in dozens of students, wouldn't you make over 100,000 yuan a month?"
Sigh, if only I had listened to my dad back then and taken the civil service exam and the teacher's exam, or at least learned to paint. Any one of those would be better than driving a taxi now…

Ai Liang didn't dampen the driver's enthusiasm or dampen his hopes.

Because of the qualification certificate, running a tutoring class can indeed be very profitable.

Many tutoring institutions only care about collecting money; the teachers don't put their heart and soul into tutoring students, and whether students achieve good results depends entirely on their own self-discipline.

What they said was not much different from what school teachers said.

Such tutoring institutions are purely motivated by making money.

It's all about exploiting parents.

When recruiting students, they would invite some high-achieving students to mingle in the tutoring class beforehand.

Use scholarships to invite them to come and serve as a prestigious brand.

Your child's poor grades are because your child wasn't paying attention in class.

Otherwise, look at those who attended my classes, how come they are among the top students in the class?
With these words, the conflict was easily shifted to the relationship between the parents and the child.

When Ai Liang was in junior high school, she received invitations from after-school tutoring institutions more than once.

However, he completely ignored them.

Will parents file complaints about this behavior by tutoring institutions?

Unfortunately, most people don't.

In the context of intense competition in education, many parents neither want their children to lose at the starting line, nor can they afford to invest the corresponding funds in their children.

Painting, piano, violin, horseback riding, skiing, diving...

Children from wealthy families can spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on education every weekend.

No matter what course it is, you can hire a tutor, buy a set of learning tools, and receive one-on-one tutoring.

For example, if a child wants to learn piano, you can buy a piano worth tens of thousands of yuan to practice with first.

If you have interest and talent, you can exchange it for hundreds of thousands.

Have your grades in school academic subjects declined?

Tutors who charge 3,000 yuan per hour, guaranteed to produce good results.

While the average middle-class family may not be wealthy, they still have enough money to hire high-end tutors for their children.

Although not comprehensive, it can still support one or two of a child's interests and hobbies.

And what about most ordinary families?

Parents are busy with their own work every day, and at most they can only take their children to class and pick them up from tutoring classes.

We don't have enough money to cultivate our children's interests.

But they don't want their children to fall behind others.

Then they enroll in various art and dance classes costing two or three thousand yuan a month, or even one or two thousand yuan a month, to numb themselves and put on a show.

Look, I've enrolled my child in classes too, so I've fulfilled my responsibilities as a parent.

What is the real situation?

It's useless.

To put it bluntly, other people's kids have it, but my kid doesn't.

This means the parents are incompetent and lack ability.

Ultimately, it's nothing more than a different kind of competition.

Even if the child really has a talent for dance or painting.

Under the pressure of reality, they will not go to great lengths to support their children.

Because no one can guarantee that if we keep going down this path, the future will be smooth sailing.

It's better to let children develop naturally and in multiple ways.

Those tutoring institutions that want to make money have been able to thrive precisely because they have keenly grasped this point.

Amid the driver's incessant farewell.

Ai Liang took the driver's business card and got out of the car near the Experimental Middle School.

It's not that the driver came to regard Ai Liang as a confidante in such a short period of time.

It was only because when Ai Liang got off the bus, the fare had just exceeded one hundred.

He handed over two hundred-yuan bills and said, "Keep the change."

This high-quality fertilizer... which customer wouldn't want to make two extra deliveries?
After the driver turned around and left, Ai Liang threw the business card into the trash can and found a snack shop to sit down.

Although it's the weekend, there are still quite a few students around.

Most of them were students in the direct-entry class of the Experimental Middle School.

Ai Liang took out her phone, changed to a new SIM card, and sent a text message to Jin Ping'an's phone.

"I am a messenger, currently at the snack stalls at the entrance of the food street outside the Experimental Middle School."

Ai Liang didn't say what was wrong, nor did she tell Jin Ping'an to come over quickly.

However, once that guy sees the messenger's text message, he'll definitely rush over without stopping.

If there's anything, we can talk about it when we meet; there's no need to waste time typing.

After clicking send, Ai Liang ordered a bowl of cold noodles.

They ate while waiting for Jin Ping'an to arrive.

The advanced class is probably still in get out of class, but that's not a problem.

Anyway, Jin Ping'an, this academic failure, is just listening to gibberish even when he's sitting in the classroom.

There's no need to worry about it affecting his academic performance.

Jin Ping'an's future can be said to be already determined.

Either go and help Cheng Lejia manage the company, or continue to shine in the criminal investigation team.

Or his ability to rewind might be exposed, leading to his capture by the countermeasures bureau and being used as a tool elsewhere.

Based on his personality, the latter two are more likely.

In short, with regression testing, academic performance is meaningless to him.

It's like some people are born in Rome, while others are born like cattle or horses.

Jin Pingan finally arrived in a hurry after Ai Liang had eaten more than half of her cold noodles.

There's no way around it, the school is too big, it takes several minutes just to run over here.

The messenger's mature, middle-aged appearance stood out among the group of students.

Jin Ping'an stood at the door and looked around. He immediately locked onto Ai Liang and slid over to him in three quick steps.

"Messenger, I..."

"To make a long story short, I have something to give you regarding the throat-slitting case. When you have the chance, pass it on to the new prosecutor."

Ai Liang took out the memory card she had prepared from her pocket.

He handed the card reader along with the card reader to Jin Ping'an.

"what is this?"

Seeing that Ai Liang immediately got to the important matter she wanted to ask, Jin Ping'an lost the desire to recount his recent situation.

"Regarding the truth behind the throat-slitting case, most of the missing persons cases in Qianhua City can be attributed to this case, and the guy behind this case is much more troublesome than Hu Yingshao."

Ai Liang briefly described the complexity of the case.

"what?!"

Jin Ping'an shouted, attracting the attention of everyone in the store.

Realizing that this was a public place, Kim Ping-an bowed and apologized to the surrounding customers.

Then he sat down opposite Ai Liang and whispered, "Most of the missing persons cases... Do you know how many missing persons cases there are in Qianhua City?"
