After the divorce, I started to transfer

Although Chen Feng had foreseen the school shooting, he was not very familiar with the specific details or the cause of the shooting.

Therefore, he was somewhat curious and asked, "Can you tell me exactly what happened? Why did the attacker do that?"

Alicia stated directly, "He's a typical loser. According to people who know him, he's very thin, insecure, introverted, and has a withdrawn personality. He basically has no friends at school. He graduated this year, just like us. We take the prom tonight very seriously. So, he invited several girls to be his dance partners, but none of them accepted. That's probably why he went completely insane and thought of revenge."

"Our school's security is usually very strict, especially when entering the school. There are security checks, and the security checks are even stricter when attending large gatherings like graduation balls. Not only are firearms prohibited, but even daggers and nail clippers are not allowed. In addition, of course, other alcoholic beverages and some prohibited plants are also not allowed."

"So, this guy was waiting at the school gate. For the safety of our students, our school ended the graduation ball on time at 11 p.m. As a result, as soon as the party ended and students came out of the school in groups, this guy just opened fire on them. He's a madman, a damn bastard."

"I don't know how he got the automatic rifle, but he must have taken it from his own home. The gun should be registered in his father's or mother's name. His parents are bastards; how could they raise such a monster? In the end, the campus police shot him dead, which was too lenient for him."

After listening to her story, Chen Feng couldn't help but sigh again: This is truly America.

The gunman was just an adult and obviously couldn't have obtained the gun through legal channels, but his parents could. And his parents clearly had a thick skin, brazenly keeping a gun, especially an automatic rifle, in their home and letting their child know its location so he could easily access it.

"Well, this really is a tragedy. Hopefully, fewer people will die this time," Chen Feng said with a sigh.

Alicia's tone also lowered, and she said in a low voice, "From what I've received, at least three people died on the spot. Several others were seriously injured, and I don't know if they can be saved. This is indeed a great tragedy. I hope the deceased can rest in peace."

"Also, I want to thank you again. If you hadn't kept urging me, I definitely would have gone to the prom. You may not know, but this kind of prom is a very important event for us and for every family in Maryland. Every graduate takes it very seriously, and almost no one is absent. But I was absent today, and I was lucky enough to escape this ordeal."

“Otherwise, if I had gone, I could very well have been one of the dead or one of the injured. That would have been terrifying. I’m so lucky to have met you, John. I’m so grateful to you, and I love you so much…”

Alicia had already said she loved him once before, but that was when she was emotionally charged. But this time, she was clearly less emotional, and as a result, she said "I love you very much" again, which was tantamount to a direct confession, making Chen Feng unable to hold back.

Chen Feng quickly coughed to interrupt her, saying, "Okay, you've already thanked me, so don't say anything more. You're lucky to have escaped this time."

“My good luck is all thanks to you,” Alicia said with a smile. “So, I want to keep in touch with you so I can continue to have this good luck.”

Chen Feng didn't take the bait and changed the subject, asking, "Are you really planning to apply to the University of Southern California?"

Alicia replied, "Yes, I'm attending this university. It'll be closer to home, and it'll be easier to go back."

"Alright, I wish you a wonderful time at university. I have other things to attend to, so I won't chat with you any longer."

Alicia was a little reluctant to part and wanted to chat with Chen Feng a little longer. But since Chen Feng had already said so, she couldn't keep him around any longer, so she could only say somewhat sullenly, "Okay, then you go ahead and get busy, I'll contact you another day."

"Okay, let's say that for now."

Chen Feng hung up the phone and put it down, secretly relieved. He really felt unworthy of such a declaration of love from a foreign girl.

Tang Xinyi, who was not far away, saw him put down his phone. Although she was a little curious about who he had just talked to, she didn't ask any questions. She just reminded him, "It's getting late. Go to sleep early."

Chen Feng nodded and said nothing more. He went over and turned off the light, then lay down on the bed, pulled Tang Xinyi over, covered her with the blanket, and hugged her to sleep.

The next morning, around 8 a.m., the group set off for the foundation. This was Chen Feng's second time at work as president. There was a charity event for children with autism scheduled for that day, and the foundation had already made preparations well in advance.

At 9 a.m., behavioral analysts, nurses, and even a child psychology expert were invited. President Chen Feng didn't personally greet them; he stayed in his office, scrolling through his phone and reading a novel. The main people who greeted them were Zhou Qianru and Jenny, two senior executives of the foundation.

During this time, Chen Feng also received a thank-you call from Carl, who formally expressed his gratitude to Chen Feng again. The reason, of course, was that Chen Feng had indirectly saved his daughter's life. Chen Feng chatted with him briefly and then confirmed that his private jet would arrive in San Francisco at 9 a.m. the next morning.

Carl politely offered to drive to Chen Feng's place and pick him up to go to the airport. Chen Feng politely declined, but Carl wasn't being coy and said he could drive there himself. Once the private jet arrived, he could board directly and fly to the airport.

It was lunchtime when Tang Xinyi came to call him and took him to the cafeteria.

Here, he finally saw the autistic children and their parents who had participated in the charity event. They could have a free lunch at the foundation, and in the afternoon, they could bring their children to receive some rehabilitation treatment.

If you need to apply for long-term medical assistance, you can formally submit your application before the event ends this afternoon. If the foundation conducts a background check and approves it, they will provide financial assistance for your treatment.

These funds are, of course, earmarked for specific purposes. The relief funds will be placed in a dedicated escrow account and will not be directly transferred to the child's guardian's account. This avoids the possibility of the relief funds being misappropriated.

While Chen Feng and Zhou Qianru were having dinner in a private room, someone leaked the information that he, the chairman, was there. As a result, many parents of autistic children came to knock on the door to express their gratitude to Chen Feng, the founder and chairman of the foundation.

The parents were full of praise for the charity events organized by the foundation. Chen Feng had no choice but to engage in some business and chat briefly with the parents of these patients.

Fortunately, they were sensible enough to know that Chen Feng was eating, so they didn't disturb him too much. After offering a few words of praise and expressing their gratitude, they left.

However, this meant Chen Feng would definitely not show up in the afternoon. Therefore, after finishing his meal, Chen Feng had Zeng Qiaoqiao drive him home.

Chen Feng spent the entire afternoon peacefully in his room absorbing energy, reading novels, and scrolling through his phone. He occasionally replied to messages from a few women.

It wasn't until almost 5 p.m. that the women returned home from get off work, and the house was bustling with activity once again. Some were busy cooking in the kitchen, while others chatted with Chen Feng in the living room. The dinner table was also filled with lively conversation.

After dinner, the lively atmosphere gradually cooled down. Jenny and Zhou Qianru both quieted down, because Chen Feng was leaving the next day. They didn't know when they would see each other again, and naturally, both felt a little sad.

Grace, who was usually quiet, felt a pang of sadness as she was affected by their emotions. She and Chen Feng had only known each other for a few days, but she had already been completely won over by him. And just when things were getting really sweet, the sudden separation was indeed a painful feeling.

As for Tang Xinyi, she wasn't particularly sad, since Chen Feng would be returning to China in a few days, and she would be able to see him again. She even felt a little bit happy.

She had a feeling she must have gotten pregnant yesterday, and that she might already be carrying Chen Feng's child. So, she was eager for the days to pass quickly, planning to go to the hospital for a blood test as soon as the time came to see if she was really pregnant.

Molly, on the other hand, was in a very good mood because she was going to accompany Chen Feng all the way to Dabudian, and then go with him back to Xiuzhou from Longguo. She would essentially be alone with Chen Feng on this journey, an opportunity that was rare indeed.

But he obviously couldn't make things lively by himself, mainly because Jenny stopped arguing with him, which made things much less fun.

She could tell that Jenny was a little down because of the impending separation, but she didn't deliberately say anything to upset her. In fact, she had a pretty good impression of Jenny; their banter was quite amusing, and they even seemed to have a mutual respect for each other. To lighten the mood and ease the sadness of parting, Molly took the initiative and said loudly, "Everyone, how about we play Truth or Dare again? I didn't feel quite satisfied last time, so this time we have to make it really exciting. At least everyone has to drink. Last time, only Jenny and I drank; the rest of you didn't drink much."

Upon hearing her suggestion, Jenny immediately responded, "Great idea! We can play Truth or Dare again, this time everyone has to drink. So, before each game starts, we can all have a few drinks."

Chen Feng had absolutely no interest in this game and immediately objected, saying, "Haven't you two learned your lesson from last time? Don't try to outdrink each other again."

Molly immediately retorted, "We're definitely not going to have a drinking contest this time, we'll just drink, and everyone has to drink."

Jenny immediately chimed in, "That's right. Molly and I definitely won't be competing in drinking this time. It's more fun to drink together."

Tang Xinyi then asked, "How can we guarantee that everyone will drink?"

Molly said, "We can roll dice, everyone rolls, and the person with the lowest roll drinks a cup. Then, the person with the highest roll asks them a truth or asks them to do something difficult, and if they can't do it, they have to drink another cup as punishment."

Jenny immediately clapped her hands and laughed, "That's a great idea, that's wonderful. If someone's luck is really bad and they have the lowest score, they might be able to drink two drinks at once, which would be a lot of fun. I completely agree."

Tang Xinyi said with a wry smile, "Isn't this a bit too much to drink? You might get drunk in no time."

Molly raised an eyebrow at her and said, "What? Are you scared?"

Tang Xinyi shrugged and said, "I'm not too afraid, but Sister Qianru doesn't have a high alcohol tolerance. She usually doesn't drink."

Zhou Qianru nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right, my alcohol tolerance has always been very low, and I don't usually drink much. I think I'll pass; you guys can play if you want, I won't."

Jenny immediately advised, "Sis, you're such a spoilsport! Everyone's playing, and if you don't, won't you be a loner? How about this, I'll make the decision: you'll be an exception. If you have the lowest score, you don't have to drink the first glass. But if you're stumped or can't do the required action, you'll have to drink a penalty shot. Is that okay?"

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Zhou Qianru couldn't refuse any longer and could only reluctantly nod in agreement.

Seeing that the atmosphere had reached this point, Chen Feng naturally didn't want to spoil everyone's fun, so he acquiesced to this game before parting.

Soon, Jenny ran to get the dice; apparently, there were already some in the house. Molly then took Grace to the bar and got various drinks: red wine, white wine, champagne, and beer.

Just like last time, everyone sat together around the coffee table.

"Come on, come on, the game is about to start, I'll go first!" Jenny shouted.

She took the dice and went first, rolling a 7. Then, proceeding clockwise, everyone rolled their dice. After the last round, Tang Xinyi had the lowest roll, only a 2, while Molly had the highest.

Tang Xinyi had no choice but to drink a glass of champagne amidst everyone's cheers.

Then, Molly immediately demanded, "Tang Xinyi, I want you to do a handstand with your hands upside down and your feet dangling in the air for two seconds. If you fail, you have to drink another cup."

To everyone's surprise, Tang Xinyi completed the move without saying a word, handstanding upside down with her hands on the ground, raising her legs high and holding the position for several seconds before putting them down. Everyone was stunned by this sight, including Chen Feng. He had no idea that Tang Xinyi had this special skill; such a move was not something that could be done casually.

Then, everyone applauded, and the atmosphere became lively again.

The second lap began, and this time Molly had the lowest score, while Chen Feng had the highest. After Molly finished her beer, Chen Feng asked her to perform "drinking with her nose," which immediately drew glares from the other women.

"Aren't you deliberately making things difficult for me? Drinking with your nose, you try one first." Molly was the first to glare at him.

“Yeah, drinking with your nose is impossible, okay? It has to be a move you can actually do.” Jenny, unusually, is standing up for Molly.

Zhou Qianru also spoke up for justice: "Let's choose another one, your request is too much."

……

Having no other option, Chen Feng had to try a different approach, having her try "licking her own nose with her tongue." This is an action most people couldn't do, but some people can in reality, and Molly was clearly not one of them.

Molly could only glare at Chen Feng before finally accepting her punishment and drinking another glass of wine.

For the next dozen or so rounds, Chen Feng didn't get a turn at all. Each time, his points were neither the highest nor the lowest.

He sat to the side watching the women fight it out, either performing difficult stunts or drinking. Even Zhou Qianru, who doesn't drink, had her turn twice and drank two glasses of champagne.

The scene made several women grit their teeth in anger. If these dice hadn't already been in the house, and hadn't been brought over by Jenny herself, everyone would have suspected Chen Feng of cheating.

After more than ten rounds, Chen Feng still hadn't gotten a turn, which finally aroused the anger of several women.

Led by Jenny, they unanimously demanded that Chen Feng, the only man present, drink an extra glass of wine with everyone in each round, or he wouldn't be a man. Her suggestion was met with enthusiastic approval from everyone, including Zhou Qianru.

Under their pressure, Chen Feng shook his head helplessly and raised his hands in surrender. He knew in his heart that he had indeed cheated, because his luck had always been very good, and in a dice game that relied entirely on luck, this was undoubtedly cheating.

Moreover, he never got a turn in all those rounds, which is really annoying.

And so it went on for another dozen or so rounds, everyone quite tipsy. Chen Feng also drank a dozen or so glasses, mostly champagne, but he also had a few glasses of red wine under pressure from the women. Fortunately, his alcohol tolerance was quite good, and coupled with his special constitution, he was still completely sober at this point.

But the women were all flushed and showing signs of intoxication. Seeing this, Chen Feng immediately called a halt to the game. He checked the time; it was almost 10 p.m., so he urged everyone to go back to their rooms to rest.

Without further ado, he pulled Jenny and Tang Xinyi upstairs. The two women were taken aback at first, then exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.

The other women, seeing this, couldn't help but roll their eyes in unison. (End of Chapter)
