Chapter 475 - 449: Who Could It Be?
Chen Xiaoqian’s diagnosis might fool Mr. Liu and his son, but it definitely wouldn’t fool Mr Liu.
Mr Liu understood that this was definitely a scheme cooked up by Xiaoqiang and Yu Gangdan. These two kids were smart, and when they got together, they loved scheming things.
This time, it was clear the kids had helped Mr Liu make a move, and Mr Liu played along, pretending to know nothing.
Hmm, let’s just say the son has "mania"...
Yu Minglang escorted Chen Xiaoqian out, and there was already a car waiting for her.
"I can’t take you home." Yu Minglang regretfully adjusted Chen Xiaoqian’s collar.
"It’s okay, I’ll go back myself." Chen Xiaoqian didn’t wait for Mr Liu; she guessed that Mr Liu was probably with his family now, and with Mr Liu there, she didn’t need to step in.
"When we meet next time, I’ll take you for a proper drive." He’s still not forgetting this, what a difficult journey to enjoy some meat...
"Stop overthinking, if you continue, you’ll get a nosebleed again. Just leave with your people." Chen Xiaoqian waved her hand, initially wanting to get in the car, but seeing his reluctant expression, she leaned in and whispered in his ear.
"They’re your people, it’s the same sooner or later."
After saying that, she got in the car decisively, without looking at his expression.
Yu Minglang watched as the exhaust rose from the car, his beloved girl slowly leaving his sight, his nose got hot. His heart felt sour.
"Boss, what’s wrong with your nose?" Qiao Zhen came over, seeing his formidable boss standing like a stump, as red liquid trickled from his nose...
Yu Minglang wiped it with his hand, indeed, it happened again...
Seeing Qiao Zhen look puzzled, he remembered this guy got to enjoy meat before him, and angrily kicked him.
"What’s wrong with you!" Qiao Zhen got angry.
"Just annoyed seeing you, why are you standing around, take people back to the office!" Let this guy eat, eat, eat until he’s full!
"Mr Liu, the general manager’s gone crazy! He hit me, I want to apply for injury compensation, will you do something about him!" Qiao Zhen saw Mr Liu’s family approaching and hurriedly complained.
"Who won?" However, Mr Liu only cared about this.
Young people, how can they call themselves young without a bit of hot-headedness?
"Of course, I did." Yu Minglang replied proudly.
"Qiao Zhen, have you been neglecting exercise lately?" Mr Liu asked.
"Yes, all the energy’s been spent elsewhere, I’m totally worn out!" Yu Minglang admitted, yes, he’s just jealous, so what!
"What’s wrong with Minglang’s nose?" Mr Liu noticed, Yu Minglang’s nose seemed odd.
"He misses his girl, it’s been months of busyness without seeing her, so he’s taking it out on me. Well, I can’t help it, I’m his secretary after all." Qiao Zhen said in a matter-of-fact manner.
Yu Minglang became furious, still wanting to hit him, but Qiao Zhen, like a mudfish, quickly jumped aside, hiding behind Mr Liu.
But Yu Minglang didn’t care, he kicked again, and Mr Liu blocked him. Back in the day, he was a fighting champion.
"Alright, stop playing now. Qiao Zhen, take the newcomer back, settle down first."
"Yes!" Qiao Zhen quickly agreed, fearing another beating if he was slow.
"Minglang, you stay back and handle some aftermath work, return to the office by noon tomorrow."
"Handle what aftermath?" Yu Minglang didn’t catch on, why is he staying back?
Such a smart young man, but at the crucial moment, his brain didn’t keep up. Mr Liu patted Yu Minglang’s shoulder, pointing at his nose.
"Make sure you handle this properly, understand?"
This was practically like winning the lottery, Yu Minglang beamed instantly, staring in surprise.
"Uncle, how come you’re so handsome today? Mrs Liu, look at this old man, with the heart of a saint and carrying himself with such grace, he’s simply a must-have for home trips, child-rearing, teaching!"
"Keep sweet-talking, and you’ll go back to the office immediately!" Mr Liu struck a proud pose.
"Guaranteed to complete the aftermath work, rest assured, uncle!" Yu Minglang with a gallant demeanor, Mr Liu hummed a little tune and left.
Qiao Zhen shook his head and patted Yu Minglang’s shoulder, "I understand why you hit me, you’re really jealous of me, huh?"
Yu Minglang smiled mischievously, the light in his eyes outshining the sun.
Instead of answering Qiao Zhen, he murmured a string of numbers.
"What are you mumbling about?"
"I’m calculating, comparing my sprint speed to the car’s speed, how long it would take me to catch up to Mei’s car, but it’s not possible, if estimated at 60 km/h, she’s already in the city, I can’t catch up on foot, so I must call a car right away to catch up!"
Then the matter must be settled!
Qiao Zhen rolled his eyes, "Are you that impatient? Even calculating this? And still say it’s not jealousy that you hit me?"
Is he not wanting to waste a single minute?
Yu Minglang regretted letting Chen Xiaoqian leave first, he had no idea Mr Liu, this middle-aged man, would be so understanding, truly regretted it!
"Why would I be jealous of you? Just because you have a girl, I don’t?"
Hehe, soon he’d be able to do this and that with Mei, really looking forward to it~
After leaving Yu Minglang, Chen Xiaoqian also felt a sense of loss.
The look in his eyes as he watched her leave was truly heart-wrenching.
But the past two times were too coincidental, things just happened to pile up together, hopefully next time they meet, she could feed him this bite of meat.
The car entered the city, and Chen Xiaoqian’s phone rang, it was a message, just couldn’t receive it in the mountains.
She opened it; it’s from Zheng Xu, asking her to call back.
Chen Xiaoqian dialed the number.
"You wanted me for something?"
"The person you wanted me to investigate, I’ve found out, the information is at the Rainbow Bar’s reception desk in the city, come pick it up when you have time."
"Okay, got it."
"Also, be careful recently, don’t let anyone catch you." Zheng Xu chimed in.
"Have you heard any rumors?"
"My guys said someone has been asking about you recently, we suppressed it for now, and I’m conducting a counter-investigation to find out who it is, but it’s someone with quite a background, can’t find out yet—Chen Xiaoqian, did you stir up any trouble outside?"
"Trouble? No, I rarely leave school." The only issue she ever stirred was Xiaoqiang’s delicate nasal membrane, making him frequently bleed.
"But they’re asking about your daily life, your photos, everything at school, and even about your emotional experiences. Coincidentally, my people ran into them, I had them pass along some half-true, half-false information."
"Understood, you did the right thing." Chen Xiaoqian knew if Zheng Xu didn’t do this, they’d look for someone else.
Who is looking for her?
This is a mystery.
"No more talking, my phone’s dying, bye." Chen Xiaoqian hung up, the phone screen was already dim, just had the last bit of battery.
Just then, another call came, but Chen Xiaoqian didn’t have time to check the number before the phone shut down.
Who could it be?
