"Will Brother Mo go find Meng Yanzhi for a duel?" Yan Dong stealthily glanced at Mo Siyu nearby and muttered his speculation.
A slap from Zhao Xiangqian came down on him as he said: "You think Brother Mo is like you? A foolish kid."
"You’re the foolish one. Who is Meng Yanzhi? He’s the only grandson of the Meng Family." Yan Dong sneered at him and said, "Even though Meng Yanzhi isn’t a biological grandson, with Mr. Meng’s overprotective nature, could Meng Yanzhi possibly turn out poorly in the future?"
"So what if he is?" Zhao Xiangqian raised an eyebrow, crossed his arms, and said, "Brother Mo is ten, no, a hundred times better than Meng Yanzhi. Meng Yanzhi just happened to be born into a better situation. If Brother Mo had been born into a better situation, what would Meng Yanzhi amount to?"
Zhao Xiangqian honestly looked down on Meng Yanzhi. Aside from being born into a good family, there was nothing impressive about him.
"Are you looking for trouble?" Yan Dong quickly covered Zhao Xiangqian’s mouth, his eyes darting around behind his glasses. Seeing no one else around, Yan Dong let out a sigh of relief and said, "No matter what, he’s still a Meng. If you want to continue to get by here, then don’t say things like that."
Zhao Xiangqian said nonchalantly: "In front of you, what can’t I say?"
"Xiangqian, the walls have ears," Li Wei had been keeping watch from the moment they started talking about this topic, wary of being overheard by someone with an agenda.
"Alright, alright, I’ll stop talking about it," Zhao Xiangqian said as he sat down on the grass with a flop.
After hearing the news, Mo Siyu’s face showed no expression, and he did not leave the training field.
This made Li Wei and others think that Brother Mo really could keep his composure.
As soon as the training was over, Mo Siyu left like a gust of wind.
Li Wei pursed his lips and said, "Alright, it’s not that Brother Mo can keep his composure but that he’s responsible."
"I believe in little sister-in-law. She’s not that kind of person." Although Zhao Xiangqian had only met Tang Yue a few times, he always felt that Tang Yue was not the type to cling to power and influence.
"I believe, too." Yan Dong nodded in agreement. It wasn’t just about believing in Tang Yue but more importantly, trusting Brother Mo’s judgment.
Mo Siyu left the training field like a gust of wind and after taking a night’s leave, he got into a car and left.
Mo Siyu found a public payphone and dialed a number he had never called before.
The phone rang twice before it was answered.
"Chi Lian, you owe me a life, and it’s time to repay it," Mo Siyu said, deliberately lowering his voice.
"Feng Zhi?" On the other end of the line was an enchanting voice. "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"Three years’ time, protect someone, and we’ll be even," Mo Siyu said as briefly as possible.
"Okay," Chi Lian agreed readily. Three years to repay a life debt.
She asked, "Tell me the name."
"A freshman at Jinghua University, Tang Yue."
"A woman?" There was a trace of shock in Chi Lian’s voice. "Feng Zhi, you’re actually into women?"
"I’m a normal man," Mo Siyu’s gaze turned cold.
On the other end of the phone, Chi Lian felt as if she’d seen a ghost. If she wasn’t sure the person on the line was Feng Zhi, she’d think there had been a mixup.
Chi Lian couldn’t help but recall the first time she saw Feng Zhi in Fei Country. He was practically the embodiment of a death god.
In Feng Zhi’s eyes, women were no different from men.
Tenderness towards women didn’t exist in Feng Zhi’s eyes.
That Feng Zhi, would actually use that favor to protect a college girl?
After hanging up the phone, Chi Lian still felt like she was discussing a fairy tale.
No, she had to go see for herself, who this sacred being was, that could make Feng Zhi, a man who usually views women as nothing, be moved.
Chi Lian turned over and immediately sprang into action.
Once Mo Siyu had hung up the phone, he took advantage of his break to go find Tang Yue.
"Hey, you have time today again?" Tang Yue was very surprised to see Mo Siyu.
"Yeah, came to see you." Mo Siyu took her hand and said, "Come on, I’m taking you to have dinner."
"Sister An Yu will be here soon," Tang Yue thought, but Mo Siyu had already pulled her away.
In a rush, Tang Yue left a note for Qin Anyu. While passing by Zhang Tingyu’s house, she happened to run into Zhang Tingyu coming back. Zhang Tingyu, seeing her with Mo Siyu, was very considerate and did not disturb them.
"Uncle Mo, Sister An Yu will be worried if she doesn’t see my note," Tang Yue couldn’t help but speak up.
Mo Siyu walked with large strides, and Tang Yue was struggling to keep up, so he slowed his pace and walked beside her. He glanced sideways at her, "Didn’t you leave a note?"
"I did, but what if Sister An Yu doesn’t see it?" Tang Yue was still a bit worried.
"Xiao Yue, Yipin Inn has also opened a branch in Jing City. I heard their spicy crayfish tastes especially good, and they have your favorite cumin beef, boiled fish slices..."
Tang Yue’s attention was immediately diverted, and she asked curiously, "Wow, I wouldn’t have thought that Chu Hong, that playboy, would open a branch here in Jing City all of a sudden."
"Um, that’s right." Mo Siyu answered as he took Tang Yue’s hand and hopped on the bus to Yipin Inn.
After a busy day, Qin Anyu came back with food, and as she entered, she cheerfully said, "Yueyue, I brought you some tasty food, what did you cook today?"
Qin Anyu spoke happily but found it strange when she saw that not even the lights were on, and there was no activity in the kitchen.
Qin Anyu called out again, puzzled, "Yueyue?"
Maybe she hasn’t come back?
Qin Anyu thought it was odd and searched all over the house, inside and out, after she came in, but indeed there was no sign of Tang Yue. A sense of dread hit her—she thought maybe Meng Yanzhi had intercepted her on the way, and Qin Anyu panicked.
She ran out in a hurry, completely missing the note Tang Yue had hastily left for her on the table.
"Sister An Yu, you just arrived and you’re heading out again?" Zhang Tingyu was planning a post-dinner stroll through the hutong, which was very lively at night with its lights, leading to a busy street right outside the hutong.
"Yueyue hasn’t come back yet, I’m a bit worried, I’ll go to the university to look for her," Qin Anyu said as she rushed out.
Hearing this, Zhang Tingyu hurriedly said, "Sister An Yu, Xiao Yue did come back, but she went out with Mo Siyu. They seem to be going out for a meal together."
"I bumped into her when I came back earlier," Zhang Tingyu added.
Qin Anyu halted mid-step and asked, "She went out with Mo Siyu?"
"Yes, couldn’t be more certain," Zhang Tingyu affirmed.
Only then did Qin Anyu pat her chest in relief and asked, "By the way, has anything unusual happened at your university?"
"Sister An Yu is asking about..." Zhang Tingyu looked at Qin Anyu, not quite understanding.
