Chapter 212: Chapter 212: We Must Catch Her Back_1

In Yantai City, inside a certain villa.

After taking a sip of tea, Ji Yongzhe turned to Lin Zhengyang and said, "Uncle Lin, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you."

Lin Zhengyang smiled and replied, "Go ahead and spit it out."

"Uncle Lin, you probably know about my feelings for Ruoyi. I want to settle things quickly, could you talk to Ruoyi for me?" Ji Yongzhe asked with a smile.

Lin Zhengyang responded, "Well, you know how Ruoyi is. She hasn’t been home for several days now."

"Didn’t she come home last night either?" Ji Yongzhe frowned.

There’s a new player in the game now, Zhang Xian, and Ji Yongzhe no longer had the upper hand. Considering the relationship between Lin Ruoyi and Zhang Xian, who knows if they’d end up in bed together?

Having seen what Zhang Xian is capable of, Ji Yongzhe dared not cause trouble with him. Instead, he decided to put his focus on the Lin family, hoping that Lin Zhengyang could put pressure on Lin Ruoyi.

Lin Zhengyang replied, "Indeed. I sent people to look for her, but there was no sign."

Ji Yongzhe furrowed his brows and expressed, "Uncle Lin, as far as I know, Ruoyi seems to have been getting close to a student from their school recently."

Lin Zhengyang suddenly sat upright, exclaiming, "What? Really?"

Ji Yongzhe explained, "I’m not entirely sure, but when I went to Camel’s Peak with her a few days ago, I did notice that she seemed pretty close to a student. It’s a bit worrying."

Lin Zhengyang reassured him, "Don’t worry... I will discuss this clearly with her."

Ji Yongzhe nodded, "Alright, then. I’ll rely on your good news. On my end, I’ll expedite things at the company as well and transfer the funds as soon as possible."

Lin Zhengyang responded, "Thank you, Yongzhe, for your help with this matter." His heart, however, was ill at ease.

His company was currently in dire straits, and without the help from the Ji family, the Lin family might be in trouble. That’s why he, usually not meddling in Lin Ruoyi’s private affairs, was pressing her to marry Ji Yongzhe. After decades of hard work, and finally achieving some success in Yantai City, he didn’t want to see all his efforts wasted.

However, as far as Ji Yongzhe was concerned, he wouldn’t transfer any funds until he was engaged to Lin Ruoyi. This put Lin Zhengyang in a tough position as the company simply couldn’t wait any longer.

...

News of what happened at Camel’s Peak spread quickly through the school, adding another layer of mystery to Zhang Xian.

Despite the honest accounts from those who returned from Camel’s Peak, few actually believed them. In this day and age, who would believe in such a thing as Qinggong? Walking on water with iron palms?

"These guys are seriously lame."

Upon learning about this, Zhang Xian was a little upset, but he paid no mind.

If one is truly capable, it’s hard to remain low-key. That’s how Zhang Xian, who really didn’t want to become famous, unfortunately ended up being so.

"Hm, it seems I haven’t been here in a few days."

Wandering around the school, Zhang Xian inadvertently arrived at the pond, a wry smile on his face.

This place seemed to have a connection with him, it was one of his favorite hangouts at Tsinghua University.

"Zhang Xian..."

Lin Ruoyi abruptly ran over and said, "I knew you would be here."

Turning to look at her, Zhang Xian chuckled and asked, "Lin Ruoyi, what do you need me for? Have you been missing me?"

"In your dreams!" Lin Ruoyi pouted and asked, "Hey, Zhang Xian, why didn’t you go to the hotel last night? No one answered your phone either, what’s with that?"

"Well, I went home last night! Were you at the hotel?" Zhang Xian replied in surprise.

He had been staying at that hotel for the past few days; his room was even booked for a few more days. However, he didn’t go there yesterday and apparently hadn’t checked his phone.

Lin Ruoyi answered, "I have no place else to go, where else would I stay if not there? I thought you would be there too, but in the end, I was all by myself."

"What do you mean?" Zhang Xian grinned and said, "Tell me, little sister Lin, are you addicted to sleeping with me? Can’t sleep without me by your side?"

Lin Ruoyi retorted, "Don’t flatter yourself. I was just worried about staying at the hotel alone."

"Worried about what?" Zhang Xian asked. "What’s there to worry about?"

Lin Ruoyi pointed out, "I’m a girl, and it’s not safe for me to stay at a hotel alone."

"You can rest assured about that." Zhang Xian said, "The way you look, I’m sure no man - unless he’s blind - would be interested in you."

Lin Ruoyi jumped up and exclaimed angrily, "Zhang Xian, what... what do you mean by that?"

Zhang Xian replied, "Exactly what I said!"

"Why don’t you just drop dead?" Frustration got the better of Lin Ruoyi.

She’s a campus belle, after all! She fumed at his comment about her only being of interest to blind men.

As far as she was concerned, Zhang Xian must be the one who’s blind. He couldn’t see her beauty, despite numerous male students at Tsinghua University secretly longing for her.

"Alright, I’m too lazy to tease you." Zhang Xian sat down by the pond and, after lighting a cigarette, asked, "So, why did you come looking for me?"

Lin Ruoyi blushed slightly and replied, "I just wanted to know if you’re going to the hotel tonight."

"Why? Do you want to sleep with me?" Zhang Xian smirked as he replied, "Honestly, I’m not interested in going. You sleep on the bed, I sit on the floor, what’s the point? Sleeping at home is much more comfortable, with a wife to cuddle up to. Is it worth it for me to sit on that cold floor in the hotel, listening to your snoring, struggling to fall asleep?"

"Who...who are you talking about? I don’t snore!" Lin Ruoyi pouted.

Zhang Xian said, "Who said they snore? You sleep like a log, of course you wouldn’t know that your snoring sounds like thunder."

Lin Ruoyi was infuriated, "Damned Zhang Xian, stop talking nonsense, I don’t snore and never have. Don’t think for a second I don’t know you’re just trying to rile me up."

"Why would I want to upset you? Am I bored out of my mind?" Zhang Xian sneered. "If you feel unsafe, go back to sleep. I’m not going to accompany you, these few days I need to be with my wife."

"You... I..." Lin Ruoyi was somewhat frustrated.

She came today for two reasons: to ask Zhang Xian to accompany her, and because she was out of money and only had enough for one more day’s stay at the hotel.

She didn’t have any close friends at school and didn’t know who to borrow money from.

"What’s up?" Zhang Xian asked.

"Nothing..." Lin Ruoyi stomped her foot and ran out.

She didn’t feel comfortable asking for a loan, especially from Zhang Xian. If she did, he might use the opportunity to tease her even more.

...

In Yantai city, the top floor of some company.

After examining the wound on his face in the mirror, Tao Jinbao’s mouth twitched as if he was having cramps.

He felt as if he’d been having terrible luck lately, constantly running into Zhang Xian, that damn jerk. It wouldn’t have been a problem if they just crossed paths, but he would always end up getting beaten up. Life was becoming unbearable!

"Knock knock knock..." A knock suddenly sounded at the door.

After Tao Jinbao frowned, he said in a rather disgruntled manner, "Come in."

The door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man walked in, saying, "Boss, Duan Hong seems to have been getting quite close to Zhang Xian lately."

"What..." Tao Jinbao abruptly stood up and asked in an ashen face, "When did this start? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?"

The middle-aged man said, "I didn’t take it seriously at first, thinking that Zhang Xian was just helping Duan Hong. Duan Hong moved a while ago, and I only found her yesterday, where I happened to see Zhang Xian."

"Damn." Tao Jinbao hesitated, then said, "Stop worrying about the company for a while, and arrange for a few guys to bring Duan Hong back."

The middle-aged man nodded and walked out of the office.

Tao Jinbao picked up his phone from the desk intending to call Duan Hong, but after thinking about it, he didn’t.

He absolutely wouldn’t allow Duan Hong and Zhang Xian to be together. If that woman revealed his secrets, all his previous efforts would be wasted.

...

A day passed quickly.

After class, Zhang Xian and Zhu Yan walked out of the school together.

Seeing that not far away, Lin Ruoyi was struggling with a middle-aged man, he frowned, walked over, grabbed the middle-aged man, and asked, "Sir, what’s going on here?"

"Zhang Xian..."

Upon seeing Zhang Xian, Lin Ruoyi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly hid behind him.

The middle-aged man looked at Zhang Xian and asked, "What business is it of yours if I take our young lady home?"

Zhang Xian paused, then asked, "Lin Ruoyi is your young lady?"

"Yes." The middle-aged man nodded and said, "I am the butler of the Lin family. The master asked me to take the young lady home. Are you meddling?"

Zhang Xian found the butler’s tone a bit aggressive.

However, he wasn’t interested in interfering with the family matters of others. Lin Ruoyi was indeed not very safe living outside alone, and having her taken back home by this man could be considered a good thing.

Seeing that Zhang Xian wasn’t going to step in, the middle-aged man turned to Lin Ruoyi and said, "Miss, you should go home with me."

"I don’t want to." Lin Ruoyi hid behind Zhang Xian.

Zhang Xian pushed Lin Ruoyi away, grabbed Zhu Yan, and started to walk away, saying, "I barely know you, stop bothering me."

"Ah, damned Zhang Xian..." Lin Ruoyi screamed and tried to catch up with them.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man quickly grabbed Lin Ruoyi and forced her into a limousine, saying, "Drive now, take the young lady home..."

Lin Ruoyi struggled and said, "You... let go of me, I don’t want to go back. Don’t think I don’t know what you guys are planning."

The middle-age man sighed with a bitter smile, "Miss, I came here under the master’s orders. If you don’t agree to go back, it makes my job difficult. Could you please not put me in a difficult spot?"

Lin Ruoyi pouted but stopped struggling.

The middle-aged man let go of Lin Ruoyi and said, "Miss, I too think the master is being unreasonable. But he has no choice. You should understand the kind of person he is."

"Why does he have to do this? He never used to get involved in my affairs." Lin Ruoyi asked, puzzled.

The middle-aged man shook his head, "I can’t say. If you really want to know, you should ask the master, not me here."
