As news of the tiger's escape spread, the entire zoo became tense and paranoid. Students walking along the paths mistook every rustle of wind and grass for the tiger's arrival.
More and more students headed toward the zoo exit to avoid danger.
But some people refused to follow the crowd. Zhao Xiaofeng drove the flower cart with Tian Ge and two pretty girls aboard, brimming with high spirits.
Qi Tianheng sat in the cart. Seeing the students hurrying along the roadside, he assumed the air of someone in the know and warned them, "It's a rumor. I just passed through the big cat area—the tiger was still sleeping under a tree!"
Shi Qianjin, who was hurrying away to safety, retorted, "Better to believe it exists than risk it not existing!"
Tan Meiling, dressed in a scorched-looking top that exposed her slim waist and navel, spoke bluntly. "If you want to die, don't drag us down with you!"
No matter how Qi Tianheng explained, they simply would not believe him.
Qi Tianheng was displeased. I finally decide to do a good deed, and you people dare spout such nonsense?
What a bunch of stupid, ignorant people! He lightly tapped the armrest with his fingers, displeasure appearing on his face.
His lackey Zhao Xiaofeng noticed Tian Ge's dissatisfaction. After driving farther ahead, they ran into another group of students. Zhao Xiaofeng put on an arrogant, overbearing posture. "Look at you cowards—a bunch of refugees!"
The students walking along the road had been insulted for no reason, and their expressions darkened in anger.
Zhao Xiaofeng drove on calmly. "A real man dares to face ferocious beasts!"
"Cowards, remember my name. I'm Zhang Chi!"
With that, he drove arrogantly against the flow of people toward the depths of the zoo.
*Damn it, Zhang Chi,
