Chapter 149 - Unwanted Result

In Haili, Zhang Yuchu sat gloomily in the chairmans office of Yuchu Industries.

He was the mastermind behind Mengyaos kidnapping, and hed just gotten a scolding from his partner Jin Gubang for its failure. He wouldnt be taking that shit from Gubang if his boss didnt value Gubang more than him.

The thugs werent even his responsibility- it was his boss whod hired all of them! Jin Gubang pushing all the blame onto Yuchus head was something he was extremely displeased about.

He had an epic name coupled with an epic company name, but Yuchu himself knew best- he was but a mere puppet of his boss He was actually even less than that: he was just the puppet of one of his boss representatives, Cihua Bro

(theres like a galaxy or universe in his name)

There were some things he didnt have the power or authority to be making decisions for, and there wasnt much he could do but give Cihua Bro a call.

Cihua Bro, its Yuchu here Yuchu said with respect and humility.

(Yuchu says little Yuchu in the greeting)

Yeah, what do you need? Cihua was in a bad mood these days- hed been trying to make contact with Baldy for a while now, to no avail, when hed heard that the police had located Baldys corpse already It gave him a little room to relax, since the guy was no longer his problem anymore.

Baldys lackeys, on the other hand, only knew of his existence- theyd never had any direct contact with him before, and there wasnt much the police could do to Cihua even if they did manage to apprehend them.

Cihua had nothing to fear even if Baldy did turn out to have told the police about him. After all, the power supporting him was not someone just any person could mess with.

What Li Cihua was concerned over, however, was the failure of their plans. He wasnt in a very good position right now- hed really underestimated the enemy this time around to have sent a common gangster for the job

Cihua Bro, that Jin Gubangs pushed all the blame onto me, saying that I got inadequate men for the assignment. Hes basically looking down on you and calling you out Yuchu complained. It wasnt even his fault in the first place.

I know! Cihua said with a frown, evidently not expecting Yuchu to be yapping about useless stuff like that. Jin Gubang isnt under the boss, were just in a partnership with him. Dont mind him, let him say whatever he wants. You and I are in the same boat, I know how you feel so just tough it out and do what I do- remember the things that you have to endure.

Alright, boss, I feel better already Yuchu said. Hed really only wanted some sort of acknowledgement, after all.

Right, hows the investigation over there coming along? Whos that guy guarding Chu Mengyao? Cihua asked.

That Jin Gubangs looked into it already: On the surface, its like Chu Pengzhan hired some farmer from somewhere and put him in the same school with Mengyao for bodyguard duties. Yuchu said. As for which bodyguard agency he got him from Its still an uncertainty. Jin Gubang doesnt know that yet.

Then continue investigating. Cihua said. The boss is really invested in this, hes sent a master from Golden Peak to handle the matter. There wont be any underestimating this time around Hmph.

Golden Peak Yuchus heart jumped at the name- hed heard from the boss of the type of power levels from there they were tougher than even special ops, and Yuchu was quite surprised that theyd send someone of that caliber to deal with some bodyguard

Keep your mouth shut about this, and dont say anything. Cihua reminded.

Rest assured, Cihua Bro. I wont. Yuchu promised.

Lin Yi got in Li Fus Bentley swiftly before anyone noticed him.

He saw Mengyao with a displeased face and Yushu giggling on her own the moment he got in- evidently, the two were aware of the rumors going around about Tang Yin and him.

Lin Yi shook his head- Mengyao was obviously pissed, holding back only because Li Fu was in the car with them.

The three didnt say anything to each other the whole trip, with even Yushu keeping her mouth shut to avoid pissing off the on-edge Mengyao.

Lin Yi was about to go back to his room after reaching the villa when Mengyao stopped him.

Stop right there, Lin Yi!!

Lin Yi wanted to get away from the Miss as soon as possible- whod dare mess with her in a situation like this? It turned out to be futile, after all Lin Yi had little choice but to turn around and look at a Mengyao with a hand angrily on her hip.

Um Is there anything you need, Miss Chu? Lin Yi said with a dry smile.

Not bad, Lin Yi, not bad at all. Just two days in school and the rumors are all out already! My dad didnt pay you to be messing with girls at school!! Mengyao was genuinely pissed at this point- wasnt this Lin Yi a little too much..?

Miss Chu, your fathers made it quite clear when he gave me his salary, that Im only obliged to help with your studies and life in general All that other stuff isnt included in my paygrade at all. Lin YI wondered if hed been too weak and easygoing the last few days. Men had to stand their ground on many occasions, after all, so as to show the Misses what they were made of.

That Mengyao didnt quite know what to say to Lin Yis retort- it was true, her father hired Lin Yi as an employee! She didnt really have the authority to be meddling with Lin Yis private life, it seemed

What was she even getting pissed off for- what did it matter if the guy was looking for a girlfriend? Yet Mengyao was in discomfort all the same- why was this guy messing with other girls when Yushu and her were living in the same house with him?! What was that supposed to mean, was their appeal not good enough for him?

It was a sort of humiliation she couldnt take- it was even worse than if Lin Yi had decided to murder the two of them!

Yet Mengyao was not one to say something like that After all, where would she start? Ask Lin Yi why he was so blind as to go play with girls outside with two beauties right in front with him? They were living in the same freaking house with him, for god's sake!!!

You J-just keep yourself in check, have some control!! Dont ruin our reputation! We dont want our follower to be seen as that kind of person! Mengyao said angrily.

Oh, dont worry, Miss Chu. Ill make sure to keep my distance from you at school I wont let anyone find out about us. Lin Yi said reassuringly.

You I Lin Yis words stunned Mengyao completely She closed and open her mouth as she stared blankly at Lin Yi, not expecting the development to go down this way Was this truly the answer she wanted from him?

Mengyao wasnt aware of it, but a genuine disappointment and stress was building up inside her It was like she had lost something really important that very instant...
