Found 100 Million In My Rented Apartment Chapter 4

The Famous Star Glances Back, Slipping Away!

While they conversed, Ye Feng and Xia Qiu brought up the topic of the concert scheduled for two days later.

“It is such a shame I couldn’t secure a ticket,” Ye Feng remarked, his face clouded with regret. “If I had, I could have experienced your performance live.”

Xia Qiu offered a gentle, consoling smile. “Do not worry about it. Listening to the stream online is just as good.”

“True, but the atmosphere of a live show is incomparable to the internet. Xia Xia, do you plan on returning to Zhonghai for more concerts in the future?”

“I cannot say for certain. If the opportunity arises, I will come back. Oh, that reminds me,” Xia Qiu asked with a light smile, “Judging by your appearance, you are still a student, correct?”

“That is right.” Ye Feng gave a nod. “I am a freshman this year.”

“I see...” Xia Qiu nodded, her expression becoming slightly hesitant.

Judging by Ye Feng’s attire, he appeared to come from a modest background.

Since the most affordable tickets for her show were priced at over 500 yuan, she didn’t wish for Ye Feng to struggle just to afford one.

It wasn’t that she looked down on him; she simply felt it wasn't worth it. Scrimping and saving for a long period just to attend a single concert seemed excessive.

She frequently shared this perspective with her fans and students.

However, because she and Ye Feng were strangers, she didn't fully understand his temperament. Fearing she might wound his pride if she spoke too bluntly, she chose to remain silent.

Ye Feng could already decipher what she wanted to say just by looking at her face.

Even though he wasn't truly desperate to attend, his opinion of Xia Qiu improved significantly upon seeing how much she cared for her fans.

His gaze shifted back toward the fuel tanker.

It had only traveled roughly a hundred meters.

It was moving far too slowly!

It seemed he would have to find another topic to keep the conversation going.

Xia Qiu felt a bit bewildered as she noticed Ye Feng repeatedly glancing toward the road ahead.

Was he expecting something?

Just as she prepared to ask, Ye Feng spoke up first. “Xia Xia, would it be alright if I took a photo with you?”

“Xia Xia, we have already lingered too long. It is time to go.” Sister Wang cut in before Xia Qiu could respond.

Sister Wang felt that if she didn't intervene, Ye Feng would simply continue pestering the star.

With a charity auction on their schedule, they couldn't afford any further delays.

Xia Qiu was aware of the tight schedule, but seeing the hopeful look in Ye Feng’s eyes, she found it difficult to turn him down.

“Sister Wang, let’s just take a quick photo. It won’t take a moment.”

After gesturing for Sister Wang to wait, she gave Ye Feng a nod of approval.

Seeing this, Ye Feng’s respect for Xia Qiu deepened.

She was truly a pure, stunning, and kind-hearted woman. Even if the system hadn't offered a reward, he would have stepped in to save her without hesitation.

He pulled out his smartphone and began snapping pictures with Xia Qiu.

As they posed, he kept a sharp eye on the tanker truck.

By the time they had taken over a dozen photos, the fuel truck had finally exited the danger zone.

Ye Feng let out a quiet sigh of relief. Sensing Sister Wang’s cold stare, he quickly tucked his phone away and addressed Xia Qiu. “Xia Xia, I am truly sorry for taking up so much of your afternoon.”

“It is no trouble at all!” Xia Qiu said, shaking her head.

She then moved to step back into the vehicle.

Suddenly, the piercing screech of emergency brakes echoed from up ahead.

A violent crash followed as the tanker truck slammed into the roadside barrier.

Boom!

A thunderous explosion erupted.

The tanker blew apart instantly!

Flames roared toward the heavens, surging more than ten meters into the air.

Thick, rolling black smoke filled with fire rapidly engulfed the area. In a heartbeat, several hundred square meters of the surrounding landscape were scorched and devastated.

The sight left Xia Qiu and her companions deathly pale.

It took a long moment for the group to process what had happened.

When they finally regained their senses, the way Sister Wang and the driver looked at Ye Feng completely changed.

While his stalling had been irritating before, they realized that if he hadn't stopped them, their car would have been right next to that tanker when it...

Shock and terror were etched across Xia Qiu’s face.

After telling Sister Wang to contact the police and emergency services, she turned a complicated gaze toward Ye Feng.

She had noticed him staring ahead earlier.

At the time, she assumed he was waiting for someone, but in hindsight, he seemed to be tracking the fuel truck’s progress.

A suspicion began to form in her mind. Did Ye Feng know the truck was in trouble? Did he purposefully engage her in conversation and ask for photos just to delay them?

Ye Feng caught her subtle reaction, but he maintained a look of pure horror as he stared at the inferno, acting as though he were paralyzed by fear.

Seeing this, Xia Qiu began to doubt herself. Was she simply overthinking things?

Could it really have been nothing more than a coincidence?

If so, how could she explain why he was watching the truck so intently before?

While she was lost in thought, Sister Wang’s voice broke the silence. “Xia Xia, I hope you aren't too shaken up.”

Xia Qiu shook her head. She then gave Ye Feng a smile. “By the way, I haven't even asked for your name yet.”

Ye Feng introduced himself and provided her with his contact details.

Xia Qiu recorded the information and gave a small laugh. “Ye Feng, regardless of how it happened, you saved my life today. I will be tied up for the next few days, but I would like to treat you to a meal when I am free.”

“Sure!” Ye Feng nodded, then checked his watch with a look of feigned panic. “Oh no, my class is starting soon.”

“Xia Xia, I have to run. I’ll be looking forward to that dinner.”

With that, he hopped back onto his shared bicycle and pedaled away quickly.

Almost the moment he cleared the scene, a system alert rang out in his mind.
