Rebirth: He Decides to Lie Flat
Chapter 225 - 225 222 Bait (Second Update)

Chapter 225: Chapter 222 Bait (Second Update) Chapter 225: Chapter 222 Bait (Second Update) Yu Xin’s time inside had stretched too long, and those waiting outside were growing impatient.

However, Beijing University was not so easy to enter. Yu Xin was able to go in because she had visited Yu Heng there before and had registered. Now she just reported Yu Heng’s name and his office phone number, and the guard verified it before letting her in.

They would need to resort to some tricks, which was not worth it.

“Brother Jin, why is it taking so long? Could there be a problem?”

The one called Brother Jin was the bespectacled man who had bailed Yu Xin out earlier. He sat in the passenger seat, watching the comings and goings at the entrance of Beijing University, and after pondering, he said, “The school is quite big, she wouldn’t be able to find the person immediately upon entering. Let’s wait a bit more.”

While speaking, he lifted his wrist to check his watch. “It’s six twenty now, if she doesn’t come out by seven, we’ll leave first.”

“Shouldn’t we call to ask?”

Brother Jin cautiously shook his head, “Not yet.”

“Isn’t it possible that woman might bolt upon facing battle?”

“Bolt upon facing battle? Heh… A person who could harm her own sister at the age of eight, do you think she’d have a change of heart?”

“Tsk! Honestly, this woman is more suited for our line of work. How about, after this is over, we recruit her into the crew?”

Brother Jin gave him an indifferent glance and snorted coldly, “With a thankless wretch like her, would you dare to partner with her?”

The man seated at the driver’s seat thought for a moment, then shook his head, “I wouldn’t dare.”

The car returned to silence, but soon the man with the buzz cut in the front spoke up again, “Brother Jin, do you think a person can really remember the people and events they encountered when they were three years old? Sounds pretty incredible, doesn’t it?”

For him, let alone at three, he had completely forgotten wetting the bed at six, and he didn’t remember a single stranger he had met before the age of ten.

Brother Jin was about to mention some people are naturally precocious, with high IQs and photographic memories, but before he could start speaking, he heard a cold snort from the back seat, “So what if she remembers? The one who escaped from me before, today I will personally capture her again.”

The man in the back seat had a slightly heavy build, with a scar on his face, a flat nose, and thick lips. It was Pan Dalong, a murder suspect nationwide wanted by the police.

Fifteen years ago, three-year-old Jiajia had escaped from his grasp. At that time, he was not only punished by Boss Ye, but he also endured the mockery and ridicule from others. What’s more, for a long time, they didn’t give him any jobs, which was an intolerable insult to Pan Dalong!

So when he heard that they were going to catch the little girl today, he insisted on coming despite others trying to stop him.

He had to capture that girl by himself, to wash away his previous disgrace!

“Old Pan, if the girl shows up later, Dongzi and I will go down. You cannot leave the car, you understand?”

“Eh? Isn’t that the kid who planned Ye Junqi’s capture, causing him a setback?”

The buzz-cut man in the driver’s seat pointed towards the direction of the school’s gate and got everyone to look. “We wanted to deal with him before, but the kid is too slippery, never leaving his house, and even if he does, he’s surrounded by a group of people. Can’t even catch him. Why would he dare to come out alone now?”

When it came to taking revenge for Ye Junqi, each person in the car was furious.

Aside from Jiang Yan, who was hiding and not coming out of school, everyone who went to teach Yu Heng a lesson or to trouble Yu Feng was utterly defeated and ended up behind bars. They were still locked up to this day.

Especially the eight men sent against Yu Heng, because his strength was known in advance, the dispatched men were fighters, considered their main force. Furthermore, some had been arrested recently by the police during raids, leading to a severe shortage of hands. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have agreed to let Pan Dalong come out.

They simply had no one else available.

“Dammit, I get angry just looking at this kid. Should we take him out?”

“Don’t complicate matters. Today, he’s not our target.”

Jiang Yan was strolling by the roadside after leaving the university gates, glancing left and right.

What was he searching for?

Brother Jin tensed up all of a sudden, could it be that Yu Xin, that woman, had betrayed them?

But immediately after, his anxious heart settled back down, because that kid walked up to a jianbing guozi stand at a nearby street corner alley and stopped. He was buying jianbing guozi.

So the looking around just now was to find something to eat.

It gave him quite the scare!

“Jin Ge, there’s no one around that stand, and the light is dim, a rare opportunity!”

The crew-cut man was itching to act, and beside him, Pan Dalong couldn’t help but touch the watermelon knife in his embrace.

Ye Junqi was their boss’s only son. In Beijing for several years now, it had always been his role to outmaneuver others. When had he ever suffered such a loss of face?

The key point was that they had suffered a setback and hadn’t been able to retaliate. Wasn’t this blatantly telling others that they were just for show?

“Jin Ge…..”

The crew-cut man urged on, while keeping a close eye on Jiang Yan, “I heard that this kid and that girl are a pair. If we’re going to kidnap, might as well take both, why split them up?”

Jin Ge furrowed his brows and thought for a few seconds, then turned his head and ordered, “Old Pan, you stay put. Dongzi, you two be careful. I’ll drive the car near the stand. Once you grab the person, hurry up and get on, don’t delay.”

“Roger that!”

The crew-cut man and a tall man from the back seat got out of the car and walked towards the jianbing guozi stand, while Jin Ge moved from the passenger seat to the driver’s seat, started the car, and slowly drove out of the parking spot. He made a right turn, drove a little distance, and then turned around.

On the other side, as Dongzi and his companion got out of the car and walked normally toward the jianbing guozi stand, they arrived just in time to see Jiang Yan’s order being prepared, with the vendor wrapping it up.

Jiang Yan took it and handed over ten yuan.

While waiting for the vendor to give change, something hard suddenly pressed against his lower back, its coldness and sharpness palpable even through his many layers of clothing.

“Don’t move!”

As the dagger pressed against his waist, someone also wrapped an arm around Jiang Yan’s shoulder, and a low, muffled voice sounded in his ear.

The man holding him was about the same height as Jiang Yan but much more muscular, and judging from his vice-like grip and the bulging pectoral muscles pressing against him, it was clear this was a practiced fighter or rather, a habitual felon!

“Boss, give me the same as his.”

The vendor had just handed two yuan in change to Jiang Yan and heard the new order, responding with a smile, “You also want two eggs, two sausages, two skewers of tenderloin, and a youtiao?”

Dongzi: ….

He gave Jiang Yan a sidelong glance, thinking to himself that it’s no wonder the kid was so tall—he could sure eat a lot!

“Add them, add everything!”

With the car still two minutes away from circling back, he thought he might as well fill his stomach in preparation for what was to come.

Jiang Yan stood still without moving. The vendor, seeing the man holding onto Jiang Yan’s shoulder, assumed the three knew each other and thought nothing of it.

The jianbing guozi was ready in no time.

“Here you go, eight yuan.”

“What are you spacing out for? Pay up!”

Dongzi nudged Jiang Yan with his elbow, motioning for him to pay—it was as if commanding him was the most natural thing in the world!

Jiang Yan looked at him and suddenly laughed, thinking to himself that the behavior quite suited his identity.

He bowed his head to get out his wallet, and just at that moment, a black business car slowly pulled up behind, blocking the view of the jianbing guozi stand completely. The car stopped, and from inside, the car door was opened…
