Chapter 341-342

Chapter 341: Lifelong Nightmare ... Han Yaotian never reached out to anyone except to ask them for favors. Yun Xi couldn’t help but be a little curious about why Han Yaotian had come to her at this time. “What happened last time is over. I’ve accepted your apology. Why has Director Han come again now?” “It’s still about what happened last time when I made Miss Yun upset. This time, I made a reservation for Jinding. Let’s have some Chinese food.” “Sorry, we just came back from eating.” “Then let’s go have afternoon tea together. I have a favor to ask of you, Miss Yun. Do you think you could spare some of your time?” From Han Yaotian’s words, it was obvious that this invitation didn’t include Zhao Yumo. Yun Xi glanced at the insistent Han Yaotian. If she didn’t agree, he would probably wait at the school gates every day. 　 　 Not wanting any more rumors spreading around school, Yun Xi gestured with her eyes at Zhao Yumo. Zhao Yumo waved her hand and exhorted Yun Xi. “I’ll go get some rest. You, get back to class on time.” After getting in the car, Yun Xi turned to look at Han Yaotian. “Find a coffee shop. If you have something to say, spill it out. I don’t want you to have to come all this way again. That could be really exhausting for you.” Every time he faced the prickly Yun Xi, Han Yaotian felt completely powerless, as if he were kicking an iron plate. But this time, he had had no choice but to come to see her again. This girl obviously didn’t like him. If he can’t figure out how to ease their relationship, it won’t be convenient for her to do anything to help him in the future. Especially since this girl has an unusual relationship with the Chen family, the Jiang family, and even Young Marshal Mu. She was like a network of relationships, and as long as he could hold her in his hands, he could control this network and gain more power and benefits for the Han family. “You don’t seem to like me very much. What am I not doing well enough, or are my looks not pleasing to you? Tell me what I’m doing wrong, and I can change it.” Taking advantage of the red light, he turned his head and looked at her gently as he spoke with a sincere expression. Yun Xi turned her head away. Han Yaotian’s serious, attentive expression looked exactly the same as it had in her previous life. 　 　 In her last life, every time he used this method on her, she couldn’t help but give in to his gentleness. Again and again, she smiled as she quenched her thirst by drinking his poison. In this life, upon seeing Han Yaotian acting like this again, she only found it ironic and ridiculous. Her fear of falling down and death-haunted her every time she dreamed at night. This was her lifelong nightmare. Discreetly concealing the emotion in her eyes, she turned her head away to hide her emotional turmoil. “I’m not familiar with Director Han, nor are we friends. It doesn’t matter whether I like you or not.” “We can become friends if we aren’t yet friends. I am also friends with Young Master Chen, so how can I be a bad guy? Speaking of this, I also graduated from Jing High School, so you’re technically my junior. If you’re admitted to Jing University in the future, you’ll be my junior alumni again. With such a deep bond, why can’t we be friends?” “Then it depends on Mr. Han’s motives for becoming my friend. If you want to use me to achieve certain ulterior motives, then sorry, but I don’t like being exploited as a friend.” She was so straightforward that for a moment there was a flash of embarrassment and shame on Han Yaotian’s face. Soon, however, he resumed his gentle, elegant demeanor, as if he didn’t understand what she meant. He continued maneuvering the steering wheel with an airy smile. “Miss Yun is the most interesting girl I have ever met. Other girls let me get my way in everything because of my identity, but you’re different. You’re very real and aren’t pretentious like they are. In our social circle, it’s hard to make real friends.” 　 　 Inside her down jacket, Yun Xi’s hands tightened their grips inch by inch. He had also said exactly this to her in her previous life. Even after so long, it really felt like it had been yesterday. If it hadn’t been for her experience in her previous life, she might have been moved by what he said. “Thank you, Mr. Han, for your flattering compliments, but I don’t really like becoming friends with people in your social circle.” “What about the Eldest Heir? Isn’t he also in my social circle?” Yun Xi smiled. “He’s different.” At the very least, he wouldn’t spend all his time thinking about how to scheme against her. After turning her head away, she happened to glance in the rearview mirror and suddenly realized that a van was close behind them. The van’s license plate was covered, blocking the number. The speed of the car kept at the same level as theirs and followed them when they changed lanes. Obviously, they were being followed! 　 ****************************** 　 Chapter 342: The Reckoning of a Tyrant ... She couldn’t help but tense up. This car behind them had been following all the way. Was she the target, or was it Han Yaotian? Han Yaotian didn’t seem to realize that the car was following him and was still sweet-talking her, but she definitely wasn’t in the mood to listen to what he was saying. She retrieved the scalpel disguised as a pen from her backpack and calmly put it in the pocket of her down jacket. She took out her phone and sent a message to Mu Feichi. Mu Feichi was dining in a restaurant at that moment, but when he’d received her news, he threw down his chopsticks and ran to his office to open the monitoring screen. 　 　 “Grey Wolf, locate the address of this phone right away. The girl is being followed by a van. Can you scan to see if you can find out how many people are in the van?” “Young Marshal Mu, the research and development on infrared scanning isn’t fully completed yet, so we can only try our best.” Mu Feichi pressed the call button and directly issued instructions to a subordinate on the other end of the phone. “What have you guys been doing?” “Young Marshal Mu! We were just about to report to you. This morning, we found out that Crocodile took a car out, and our people have been following him.” “Where have they followed him to?” “They’re now on the road to downtown!” “Keep watching for me! Is there anyone following the girl now?” “I sent a team to follow her also.” “Report the specific address to me now.” Mu Feichi looked at the positioning directions displayed on the screen and listened to the addresses reported by his subordinate. The two addresses were the same, and his dark eyes suddenly got troubled. He pulled out his phone and dialed Yun Xi’s number, but the phone had been turned off. 　 　 On the location map, another car appeared on the screen, and, soon, the two spots stopped at the same place. After a while, the other one started moving again, but the phone was still in place. The other car wasn’t moving. He dialed Yun Xi’s phone again. The phone located on the map hadn’t moved, and the phone call wasn’t getting connected. “Grey Wolf, follow the person tailing their car, right away!” “Yes, sir!” Soon, Grey Wolf called back, and Mu Feichi asked coldly, “Report your situation to me immediately!” “Young Marshal Mu, they followed Han Yaotian’s car the entire way and then they tied them up in an underground parking lot. There’s a woman with him as well.” “D*mn it!” Suddenly thinking of a possibility, Mu Feichi slammed his fist on the desk and gloomily issued a command. “Follow them. If you lose them, you’ll be punished!” Without saying anything further, he promptly pressed the emergency button for the entire Tianyu Mountain. “Qi Yuan, immediately organize a group of two personnel to stand by, and three groups of helicopters on standby! The girl has been kidnapped by Crocodile!” Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan gasped. “Yes, I will immediately issue the order!” “Grey Wolf, you monitor the location of that car, and report the location to me at every moment!” “Yes, sir!” Standing up, Mu Feichi flung down the phone and directly put on earbuds for easier contact. He then turned around and opened the bookcase that occupied the entire wall behind the office chair. He changed into casual attire at the fastest speed possible, then ran downstairs. When he got to the tarmac, Li Zilan was already waiting by the helicopter. Her face had on heavy makeup. With dark green eyeshadow, dark black lip gloss, and blunt short hair, her face was particularly eye-catching. Mu Feichi glanced at her with an extremely sulky expression on his face. “Don’t worry! She will be fine!” Saying that Li Zilan turned around and climbed into the helicopter. He hadn’t wanted the girl to bear too many burdens that didn’t belong to someone of her age, but accidents could always happen. Today’s incident was the best proof of that. He hoped that nothing had happened to the girl, otherwise, someone would bear the reckoning of Mu Feichi!
