Ch. 956..960: The Secretly Rich Man Chapter 956-960

Chapter 956

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 956 Clearing his throat before saying that, Quinlan then slid his hands into his pockets before sneering.

“What’s with all the commotion? We’re trying to have our lesson here!” shouted a female lecturer as she and her colleague stepped out of a neighboring laboratory in dissatisfaction.

Turning to face them, Quinlan then said, “It’s just Mr. Crawford… I asked Miss Swift to have a joint lesson with me since I wanted to get some teaching experience… Coincidentally, the period I chose clashes with Mr. Crawford’s class! This is honestly all my fault…”

“It really isn’t. Mr. Crawford’s just being inconsiderate! Just take the next lesson! There’s no need to make a mountain out of a molehill, is there?” said the other female colleague as both of them nodded in unison.

Straightening her hair, Marjorie then added, “Why don’t you return to your class first, Mr. Crawford?”

Hearing that, Gerald could only frown. He was very much aware that trying to argue with them wasn’t going to be worthwhile. What more, it would be imprudent of them as lecturers to create a mess here.

With that in mind, he placidly said, “…Let’s just go!”

As he began leading his students back to class, the students in the laboratory, in turn, immediately started an uproar.

“Yeah! Just leave already!”

“You’re all equally annoying mother*ckers! You hear?!” growled Tulip as she tossed her notebook to the ground before waving her two fists in the air.

After the small incident, Gerald earned the nickname, ‘Teacher Skitterbrook’ from the students.

Not that Gerald minded that sort of thing. After all, it didn’t really affect his observation on Tulip.

It wasn’t long after before Gerald realized the existence of secret undercurrents in the university. From what he managed to gather, a few groups of influential people were already plotting against Tulip again.

Gerald also noticed that despite being previously kidnapped, Tulip was still very much ignorant and fearless. She simply acted like a boss wherever she went in the university.

Sometime later, Gerald was about to enter his second-period class when suddenly, he heard someone shouting, “D*mn it! What should I do? Tulip’s run off again!”

Frowning slightly, Gerald entered the class and saw that a few of his female students were anxiously discussing the matter.

“What’s wrong?”

“Humph! It’s none of your business, you useless piece of trash! The others drove you away and you just succumbed to it! As your students, we feel utterly humiliated by that, you know? It’s also because of that humiliation that Tulip refused to attend your class! She’s driven off somewhere to have some fun instead! Her dad’s repeatedly ordered me to keep an eye on her, you know? Now I’m going to get scolded for sure! All of this stems from you! Humph!” complained one of the students as she shoved Gerald to the side.

She was so angry that she wanted to run off to look for Tulip immediately.

For as long as she knew her, Tulip had always bore such a temperament. The girl was simply too used to having things go her way without having to care about anything else.

When things didn’t go her way, however, she would head out looking for amusement instead.

As she thought about that, a student wearing glasses panted as he slid the class’s door open. Noticing that tulip’s bestie was present, he calmed his breathing before saying, “L-Liske! Something’s wrong! I saw Tulip driving her sports car toward Bloomlin Mountain! When I asked her about it, she said she was going there to have some fun! She also told me to tell you to wait till Teacher Skitterbrook’sclas-”

The moment he saw Gerald standing there, the bespectacled boy immediately fell silent, feeling extremely awkward.

“D*mn it! She really headed to Bloomlin Mountain? It’s all over now! If her father knows that she went there to have fun, my dad will probably be beaten to death as well! All sorts of dangerous people gather at that chaotic place! What should I even do now…? Is there any of you daring enough to follow me there to get Tulip back?” said Nicole Liske as she anxiously stomped her foot on the ground.

“I’m in!”

“I’ll be going as well!”

As a few of their male classmates volunteered, Gerald couldn’t help but ask, “What sort of place is Bloomlin Mountain?”

 

Chapter 957

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 957 “D*mn it! Are you even a lecturer? How could you not know about Bloomlin Mountain? That’s the place where several youths, who are mostly in gangs, usually gather to host parties! What more, they like to have car races there to amuse themselves as well! That place is just bad news!” explained another student rather helplessly.

“There’s no use explaining it to him! Regardless, Tulip’s daring enough to go literally anywhere once her recklessness kicks in! I should know since the same thing happened when she last got into trouble! Come on, let’s just hurry and try to get her back already!” said Nicole who was now so anxious that she was almost in tears.

While Nicole was Tulip’s bestie, she was also the daughter of the Yowell family’s butler. Because of that, Nicole was usually tasked with keeping an eye on Tulip.

After all, almost everyone associated with the second young lady of the Yowell family knew that she was infamous for being reckless. She was a person who valued her own enjoyment above anything else, which was why she was now skipping Gerald’s class.

Gerald found that her classmates were all quite loyal to her as well, as all of them instantly agreed to go after her. Getting to Bloomlin Mountain wasn’t an issue for them either since several of the classmates were rich heirs who had their own cars. After entering the cars in twos and threes, all of them left.

“…Wouldn’t your arrival there be rather strange and unexpected…?” muttered Gerald to himself helplessly.

‘Just don’t get into any trouble… If she gets into any then all my efforts this time around will be for naught!’ Gerald thought to himself.

Knowing how many influential groups were targeting her now, it was impossible for him not to be worried. Shaking his head, he got atop his scooter and immediately began following them to the place.

Meanwhile, Tulip—who had just arrived not too long ago—was starting to slightly regret coming to Bloomlin Mountain. Looking around, the place resembled more of a colosseum rather than a racetrack.

The racetrack itself was located at the foot of a mountain in the suburbs of Heavenly City. Since the suburbs were already complicated enough with several intertwining paths, it inspired the planners of the racetrack to build it there.

Due to their efforts, what used to be a deserted open space was now filled with all sorts of cars, even high-end sports cars like Ferraris and Maybachs.

The regulars of the racetrack were all young men and women who were either screaming or playing musical instruments loudly, making the entire area somewhat deafening.

From the moment she had arrived, Tulip was left shocked by the youthful atmosphere there. Her sheer disbelief stemmed from the fact that she had never been exposed to people like these in the past. The existence of such individuals had simply been beyond her wildest imagination.

While she had definitely heard about Bloomlin Mountain before, this was actually her first time here since her father had prohibited her from ever coming here. While that was the case, Tulip had been in a bad mood recently.

The incident regarding her elder sister still flustered her greatly. As if that annoyance wasn’t enough, she was humiliated in front of so many people today due to a coward!

Dwelling on the incidents filled her with so much wrath that she forgot all about her father’s prohibitions and simply drove to Bloomlin Mountain to have some fun.

Now that she was there, however, she could only sit in her car, bewildered by all the sights and sounds there.

Just as she was about to consider leaving, a man with big hair—reminiscent of the eighties—who had his left ear adorned with a row of silver studs stood by her car before saying, “Well hey there, girl! Are you a new face here? How about a race with me? If you win, I’ll host a party here tonight for you!”

“I’ll have to refuse. I just came here to have a look around,” replied Tulip as she shook her head.

“Oh, you’re not going to race? Well, you are still a student, after all! I guess you must be afraid to compete with others! What a waste that this sports car ended up in your hands!”

“You take that back you mother*cker! Who’s afraid? I’m joining the race!” scowled Tulip angrily.

However, upon realizing what she had just said, Tulip found herself regretting it slightly.

After all, she truly had just wanted to have a look at the fabled racetrack in Bloomlin Mountain. Since she had previously assumed that the place would be deserted, she had even considered the thought of speeding along the winding paths of the mountain at least once before returning to university. It hadn’t occurred to her that this place would be so populated with hooligans!

Sensing what Tulip was worrying about, he simply pointed at the people surrounding them before saying, “See those beast-like people? F*ck then! Don’t see them as humans! Once you see them as mere animals, you’ll be fine. However, if you truly are reluctant to look at them, then just close your eyes!”

While Tulip was hesitant, when she looked at his resolute and fearless expression, she replied, “… Since we’re competing with each other, cut the cr*p and let’s go already…!”

“Settle down, this round has already been taken by someone else. We’ll just have to wait for the next round!” said the man as he pointed at two cars revving their engines loudly in the open space.

Hearing that, Tulip could only anxiously smack the side of her steering wheel in anger.

At that moment, a dozen or so cars arrived at the area, signaling the arrival of Nicole and the others.

“Hey! Look over there! That’s Tulip’s car!” yelled Nicole as the Tulip’s classmates ran toward her.

Immediately after, however, a loud clamor was heard.

Chapter 958

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 958 Upon noticing the arrival of Nicole and her classmates, the many other youths who were there instantly began screaming and whistling at them. After all, none of them had ever seen students dressed in uniform there before. What more, among the thirty over students, half of them were tall and slim women who looked both innocent and cute.

Their presence at Bloomlin Mountain was nothing short of extraordinary to the hooligans.

Even the big-haired man jumped out of his car in excitement, his eyes widened.

“Nicole… All of you… Why did all of you come here?” asked Tulip.

“Why else would we be here? We were worried about you, of course! Let’s just leave quickly! Still, to think that you would actually come here! What if your dad found out? Do you really want to suffer that terribly?” replied Tulip as she held on to Tulip’s arm.

Since it was evident that Tulip wanted to leave with them, the man from before simply sneered, “Come now, there’s no rush to leave! Why don’t we have a race first? After all, it mustn’t have been easy for all of you to come here. Or are all of you just obedient university students who are still afraid of your parents?”

“Cowards! Cowards!” chanted the crowds loudly.

“F*cking hell! Wait for me here, Nicole! I’m racing him first to shut him up for good!” scowled Tulip.

“That’s the spirit! Speaking of which, beauty, according to the rules here, you’ll have to give a ride to a person of the opposite gender if you’re participating in a car race. Since you already have so many

male classmates, why not pick one of them? Or would you rather choose a handsome guy from among us? What do you say?” said the big-haired man.

As Tulip turned to look, she saw a woman with heavy makeup sitting in his car. So he wasn’t lying.

“Me! Me! Pick me, beauty!”

All around them, various men were shouting to get Tulip’s attention.

“As if I’d ever get in a car with any of you! Specky! Get in the car!” ordered Tulip at the bespectacled boy from before as she rolled her eyes at the crowd.

“B-but, Tulip! I can’t… I… I have car sickness!” replied Specky as he gulped before shaking his head quickly.

Tulip’s poor driving skills was no mystery to any of her classmates.

If a regular passenger thanked their driver for their troubles after arriving at their destination, a passenger of Tulip’s would instead thank her for allowing them to leave the car with their life intact!

In short, she was a mad driver.

Specky wasn’t the only unwilling one either. All her other male classmates were similarly deterred from sitting in the car if she was driving!

“Useless! All of you!” shouted Tulip as she smacked her steering wheel in frustration.

As the big-haired man continued laughing, Nicole suddenly pointed in a direction before saying in an astonished tone, “…Hey, that’s our lecturer, right? D*mn it! Why is he here?”

Turning to look at where she was pointing, all the students realized that she wasn’t kidding. Their Biology lecturer was indeed there!

Pushing his scooter along, Gerald soon saw his students and began running toward them. His arrival, however, was nothing short of ridiculous and amusing to the hooligans.

“Haha! Hey, everyone! Look there!”

With everyone’s eyes on him now, a roar of laughter erupted throughout the entire area.

It was funny enough to even think about someone riding a scooter to a racetrack, yet here Gerald was, pushing his now dusty scooter as he ran!

“Why the hell is that piece of trash here, Nicole?! Who even told him to come along?!” said Tulip, flabbergasted by his arrival.

Chapter 959

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 959 “Don’t look at me… I really hadn’t expected him to actually follow us here…” replied Nicole rather helplessly.

“It’s going to be all over for me if he tells the university about it! That’s not even the worst part! What if the university informs my dad about it?!” cried out Tulip in a state of berserk.

“Calm down, Tulip. I have a way to get him to cooperate obediently. You currently need a man in your car, right? Why don’t we get him to do it? Once he’s inside, he’ll definitely be afraid of you!” suggested Specky.

“F*cking…” While Tulip certainly wanted to scold Specky after hearing his indirect roast on her driving skill, thinking back, he had a point.

Since she was already annoyed with Gerald anyway after this morning’s incident at the laboratory, Tulip wasn’t too worried about making him suffer too much.

Besides, he looked like an honest and rather silly man. Once she was done with him in the car, he’d definitely not dare to report her misbehavior. With all that in mind, she decided to go along with Specky’s plan.

“Aren’t all of you being too disrespectful to the university? How dare all of you play truant together!” said Gerald as he walked over after parking his scooter properly.

Due to how far Bloomlin Mountain was from the university, Gerald’s scooter ran out of batteries a bit earlier, explaining why he had pushed it toward the racetrack instead of riding it in.

“Just shut up and get in the car!” ordered Tulip.

“And why should I? All of you had best return to the university right this instance!” replied Gerald.

“Fine! But you’ll still need a ride back, right? After all, we all saw that your scooter’s batteries were drained! Can’t you see that I’m offering you a ride back? Now come on!” added Tulip.

“She’s right, sir! Since you came all the way out here, just let her give you a ride back… As for your scooter, we’ll think of a way to get it back there…” added a few other students.

They were frantically trying to get Gerald into the car since the competition was about to begin soon. In their minds, the sooner the race was over, the sooner they could leave, and none of them wanted to linger there for any longer than they needed to.

“…Fine!” replied Gerald with a defeated nod.

He knew for a fact that Tulip wouldn’t ever be this kind to him. However, he was slightly interested to see what kind of trick she had up her sleeve.

Upon closing the car door behind him, all the car’s doors were immediately locked.

“What’re you doing?” asked Gerald, astonished.

“Haha! You idiot! You’ve fallen straight into my trap! Did you honestly think that I’d be that nice to allow a worthless piece of trash like you to get into my car without a price? You’re coming along with me for a car race! And you’d better not vomit inside my car or you’ll suffer terribly!” warned Tulip.

Now that everything was ready, Tulip and her opponent drove to the starting line. After honking to indicate that both of them were ready, a large screen began projecting numbers counting down as both their cars began revving up.

The moment a loud buzzing sound was heard, both cars immediately sped forward like wild horses that had just been freed.

“Hell yeah! This is so cool!” shouted Tulip excitedly. Though she really didn’t like the atmosphere of the place, it did end up becoming enjoyable once the race actually began.

“The road! Keep your eyes on the road!” shouted Gerald, terrified as he held on to the car’s grab handle.

While Tulip’s driving was definitely as reckless as her classmates remembered, she wasn’t completely devoid of skill. After all, she was still ahead of the big-haired man’s car.

However, that fact alone seemed rather illogical to Gerald. Looking through the rear-view mirror, Gerald found that his doubts were warranted. After all, the man clearly had a lot of chances to overtake her car. However, he just never did.

As Gerald frowned, wondering what was up, all of a sudden, Tulip let out a shout!

Turning to look ahead, Gerald saw that they were headed straight for a few rows of steel nails that had been placed across the road.

They clearly served as roadblocks, yet even if Tulip were to hit on the brakes now, both of them were well aware that she wouldn’t be able to stop the car in time.

As a result, she simply accelerated the car forward with her eyes closed.

Seconds later, two distinct sounds of tires bursting could be heard!

Eventually, the car couldn’t go on and Tulip was forced to park the car in the middle of the road.

“Fcking hell! Who would put roadblocks in the middle of a god dmned racetrack!” shouted Tulip furiously.

On the contrary, Gerald appeared extremely vigilant as he turned around to look behind them.

Chapter 960

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 960 By now, the car behind them had stopped as well, blocking any possible escape routes.

‘Something is definitely wrong!’ Gerald thought to himself as he watched the big-haired man and the woman get out of their car.

“Hey, now! How could you people be like this? These roadblocks clearly shouldn’t be here! I demand we start over!” scowled Tulip, feeling cheated.

“But of course, Miss Tulip Yowell! You’re the second young lady of the Yowell family, after all… We can start over as many times as you please!” replied the big-haired man as he laughed loudly.

“…You… How do you know my name?” asked Tulip, finally realizing that something was wrong.

“Humph! Just get out of the car already, miss! Don’t trouble us any more than you need to!” shouted the big-haired man as he pulled his wig off, revealing his bald head!

Following that, he took a gun out, aiming it at Tulip before roaring, “Didn’t you hear what I said? Get out, now!”

Seeing the gun, Tulip immediately went pale in fright. It was then when she understood that she was getting kidnapped again.

Raising both her hands to show that she was harmless, she then slowly got out of the car.

Once she was out, the woman revealed her own gun as the bald man shouted, “Wren, go kill that other guy! After he’s dead, report to Old A that we’ve captured her and tell him to take over from here

immediately!”

“Got it!” replied the woman with a nod as she walked toward the shotgun seat.

However, when she peered through the window, she was left stunned. Raising her head to look at the bald man, she then said, “…Dominic… There’s nobody in there.”

“What? We all saw him enter the car earlier, right?” replied Dominic as he dragged Tulip along with him toward Wren’s side.

Peering inside, it appeared that she was right. Gerald had completely disappeared!

“How odd! He couldn’t have just vanished in broad daylight!” said the bald man in astonishment.

As he continued wondering where Gerald could possibly have gone to, out of the blue, a voice from behind the bald man shouted, “I-I’ll try my best to fight you!”

Hearing that, Dominic turned around immediately… Only to be greeted by a large stone!

With a loud ‘thud’, the bald man felt his eyes roll back as he fell to the ground, now unconscious!

Though Wren wanted to immediately retaliate by shooting the assailant, for some baffling reason, she just couldn’t fully raise her arm!

“I-I’ll fight you too!” shouted the youth again as he picked the same large stone up and staggered toward the woman before smashing it into her head. Naturally, she fainted as well.

The youth in question was of course, Gerald. Since he needed to keep his identity a secret, he knew that he had to pretend to be weak.

“Wow! You… You killed them, sir! You’ve killed two people! You’re definitely ruined this time!” exclaimed Tulip excitedly now that she knew she had been rescued.

Rolling his eyes, Gerald then replied, “They’re not dead! They’ve just fainted! However, since their accomplices are probably coming over soon, I suggest we leave quickly!”

“You’re right! Let’s go then!” replied Tulip as both of them headed for Dominic’s car.

Getting in the driver’s seat, Tulip then turned the car around and sped all the way back to the starting line. Seconds after they left, however, a few ATV cars came to a screeching halt at the spot where both Dominic and Wren lay unconscious.

Watching Tulip and the man make their escape, the leader of the group found himself slamming a fist onto the hood of the car.

“F*cking hell! We were already so close just now! How did things end up failing? Who the hell saved her?!”

“Do we pursue after them, boss?”

“F*ck that! There are too many people at the foot of the mountain! Do you want to die that much? If you don’t, then bring these two useless people along with us! We’re leaving!”

Meanwhile, Tulip was beginning to admire Gerald slightly as she said, “D*mn, sir! You were so cruel earlier!”

“If I hadn’t been, then we’d both be dead by now!” replied Gerald as he thought about what could’ve happened if he wasn’t in the car with her.

“Still, something just doesn’t add up, sir!” said Tulip as she seemed to recall something.

“What do you mean?”

“Well, back when I stepped out of the car, I’m fairly certain that you were still sitting beside me! How could you have just appeared behind the two kidnappers earlier?”
