Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 382 Confessing the Pressure
For the students in the top class, Jin Ping'an was like a drowning person grabbing a deadly weight.

His presence can directly lower the average score for all subjects in the class by several percentage points.

Ha! You want to raise the average score?
Did you ask me if I was Jin Pingan?

Jin Ping'an, as a member of the top class, will definitely participate in the joint exam with Neihua Experimental High School next week.

Even if he's someone with connections.

Jin Pingan quietly observed the atmosphere in the class.

Facing the piercing gazes coming from all directions, he forced himself to stand up.

Yu Xin asked, "Jin Ping'an, do you have a question?"

"what?"

Jin Ping'an was stunned.

Aren't you all looking at me?
In his mind, if all the students around him were looking at him, it must mean that he had done something wrong that made the teacher angry.

To be fair, in some respects, this idea is indeed correct.

Yu Xin pinched his brow with a helpless expression and said in a resigned tone, "Please sit down first."

"Oh……"

Jin Ping'an observed his surroundings, carefully moved the stool over, and dared not make a sound.

He always felt that his classmates were looking at him in a strange way...

Hmm... if I had to describe it...

It's somewhat similar to a top laner and jungler who have already achieved godlike status, looking at an ADC with a score of 0/18.

Ai Liang was probably the only one in the class who didn't care about whether the trip could be extended.

He not only didn't want to extend his vacation, but he even wanted to come back earlier.

After all, it's my hometown where I've lived for over ten years.

For the first time, Jin Ping'an's presence was so pleasing to Ai Liang's eyes.

Yu Xin turned on the computer on the multimedia podium, turned around and opened the blackboard: "Alright, next year's matters are still a long way off, let's focus on this joint exam for now."

Compared to traditional chalk teaching, Yu Xin prefers to create PPT lesson plans.

The vast majority of teachers in the school are like this.

The reason for retaining chalk and blackboard is to accommodate some older teachers who are not very proficient at using computers.

In the morning classes, Ai Liang, as usual, passed the time by reading novels.

Yu Xin was already used to this and calmly sat on the podium to teach.

The morning passed quickly.

After school, Ai Liang and Chen Zili went to the cafeteria for a meal. Just as he sat down with his plate, Jin Ping'an plopped down opposite him.

"Is something wrong?"

Ai Liang asked in a nonchalant tone.

Jin Ping'an gave a signature silly grin: "Nothing much... just wanted to chat with you."

Then his eyes "inadvertently" glanced at Chen Zili, and he blinked twice.

With such an obvious "hint," it was impossible for Chen Zili, a master at observing the atmosphere, not to understand what Jin Ping'an meant.

Considering Jin Ping'an's identity, he consciously took the plate and left.

In fact, Jin Ping'an had been hanging out with the anti-drug squad for the past few days.

Every day, he was either going back to this or that, or running around Qianhua City with Tian Hao and Wu Ke.

During this period, I witnessed many people become strangers and also learned many secrets.

He really wanted to find someone to relieve his inner turmoil.

Tian Hao and Wu Ke are adults, and although Jin Ping'an mingles among them, he is only sixteen years old.

It's difficult to confide in someone when there's an age gap.

Just like you can discuss relationship issues with your best buddies, but you would never discuss them with your parents.

Subconsciously, Jin Ping'an categorized the two of them as elders.

Cheng Lejia has been busy with company affairs lately, so much so that she can't even sleep well.

His signature, once he reached adulthood, has become legally binding.

We can't just sit back and do nothing like we used to.

In the past, if someone had conspired to use Cheng Lejia's signature and permission to swindle the company's assets.

You could use his minor status as a reason, but that won't work now.

He personally reviewed every strategic plan to ensure that there was no deception or cover-up.

Sometimes when Jin Pingan gets up to go to the bathroom at one or two in the morning, he can see his best buddy hunched over his desk, carefully reading the project proposals for various projects.

Managing a large corporation is no easy task, and he felt bad for making Cheng Lejia worry about him.

So Jin Ping'an approached Ai Liang, with whom he had previously collaborated and with whom he (in his opinion) had a certain level of acquaintance.

The two were seated in a corner of the restaurant, where there were few people around.

Jin Ping'an seized this opportunity to come to Ai Liang.

"A lot has happened in Qianhua City recently."

Jin Ping'an started his conversation with an exclamation he'd picked up from who-knows-where, only to be ignored by Ai Liang.

Ai Liang ate the spring rolls on her plate as if no one else was there, completely ignoring Jin Ping'an.

"...I just wanted to have a chat with you this time."

Jin Ping'an forced a smile: "Don't worry, I won't drag you into any more messy things."

In Jin Ping'an's view, Ai Liang was ignoring him.

They probably thought he was there to ask for the messenger's contact information again.

Ai Liang swallowed the food in her mouth and said, "Some things are already in trouble just because others know about them."

"No way, you're joking..." Jin Ping'an wanted to say.

But the psychological trauma Hu Yingshao left on him has not disappeared to this day.

After that kidnapping case, Jin Ping'an realized for the first time that the plots in movies are not all made up.

Sometimes, simply knowing something can bring about your own demise.

Watching Ai Liang eat her spring rolls with her usual expressionless face, Jin Ping'an sighed softly, "To be honest, I envy your personality. I wish I could be half as calm as you."

Calm?

If I asked you to kill people for several years in a row, you could remain as calm as I am.

Ai Liang thought to herself, unconcerned.

When Ai Liang first entered the black market, she also had similar troubles as Jin Ping'an.

However, after receiving the immense malice of those millions of people, those troubles disappeared.

The more you see, the more naturally you'll get used to it.

Just as a child raised in a greenhouse might sympathize with a dying patient, a responsible doctor could turn around and walk out of the ward and chat and laugh.

Jin Pingan said in a serious tone, "Actually, I came to you to talk about what has happened recently. You know my identity is... a bit complicated. If I tell the other people in the class, I'm worried they will turn around and spread the news."

As a teenager, Jin Ping'an understands the thoughts of his peers very well.

He once made such a mistake: by bragging to others, he almost caused a murderer to escape the police's net.

The murderer overheard Jin Ping'an bragging in an internet cafe, saying that the police could deduce a suspect's height and weight from half a footprint.

This will remind the murderer that he was in such a hurry when he left that he stepped on the grass.

Although he avoided the surveillance cameras, it was still possible to roughly determine which direction he was going by looking at the mud on the ground.
