Chapter 257: Are you going online to pick up girls?

"Hmph!" Cao Shaoyi had not expected to find such cowardice among his own men. He had lost all desire to even glance at the sorry figure before him. With a dismissive wave of his hand, two thugs approached and dragged away the subordinate who was kneeling and begging for mercy on the ground.

The atmosphere in the private room instantly turned tense and cold. Those who could stand before the Crown Prince were the core members who had been with Cao Shaoyi for some years. They were all too aware of the fate that awaited the man who had been dragged away; their faces paled with fear, their breathing became faint, and the capacious room fell so silent that you could hear a pin drop.

Just then, Cao Shaoyi’s phone rang. The caller ID displayed the name ’Pigeon’, one of his underlings responsible for gathering intelligence.

After pressing the answer button, Cao Shaoyi elegantly lifted his hand and placed the phone to his ear.

Once the call connected, Pigeon’s voice came through, "Crown Prince, I’ve got some news on the matter you asked me to look into. The girl named Yurou is Su Yurou, Su Zhenggang’s cousin. She’s currently studying at Tenglong High School, a student in the seventh class of senior year."

"Cousin, huh?" Cao Shaoyi pondered for a moment, then his lips curled into a disdainful, cold smirk as he said, "Just get in touch with Old Ying and have him send some professionals over. Find the right opportunity to kidnap this Su girl."

"Understood, Crown Prince!"

When Leng Xuan returned to Ling Xuejiu’s villa, the two girls had just arrived back from grocery shopping, so they went straight into the kitchen to cook. During the meal, Ling Xuejiu and Li Mengjie questioned Leng Xuan about the afternoon’s errand with Uncle Liu, but he shrugged it off with a casual excuse.

After dinner, Ling Xuejiu immediately returned to her room to revise for her lessons. With the college entrance examination looming, she had become more serious about her studies these past few days.

However, Li Mengjie was not used to spending the afternoon without seeing Leng Xuan around, so she wanted to spend more time with him. Once Leng Xuan had finished washing the dishes and stepped out of the kitchen, she greeted him with a cheerful smile, "Cold Bodyguard, come and keep me company while I watch TV!"

Leng Xuan was speechless. Why did Li Mengjie think of nothing but watching TV? Considering he had important matters to attend to that evening, he said, "Miss Li, don’t you need to revise for your lessons? What if you don’t do well on the high school exam?"

"Humph, when have I ever not been in the top three of my class?" Li Mengjie wrinkled her nose, smiling proudly.

Leng Xuan was truly at a loss. Indeed, he had noticed that Li Mengjie’s grades in several mock exams were surprisingly good, making him wonder how a girl who seemed only interested in having fun could outperform the bookworms in her studies.

Feeling helpless, Leng Xuan relented and joined her to watch TV. However, he couldn’t help feeling a bit annoyed and said, "Let’s get this straight; I’ll only watch with you until eight o’clock."

Li Mengjie pouted, thinking to herself, "What’s the big deal about asking you to watch a bit of TV with me? Is it such a chore?" But outwardly, she asked, "You’re not planning to go to bed at eight, are you?"

Leng Xuan replied, "I have other things to do."

Li Mengjie inquired, "Other things? Like what?"

"I need to do some research on the internet!" Exasperated, Leng Xuan made up an excuse on the spot. He certainly didn’t want Li Mengjie to learn his secret—that he was a cultivator.

Li Mengjie snorted, "You’re going online to hit on girls, aren’t you?"

Leng Xuan replied irritably, "Even if I am, that’s my business, isn’t it?"
