46 -46: Just Have to Wait
Just say what happened, oh, and also, tell another person, face to face.”
“You’ll know when you get there.
The address is the first-year class three of the Chinese Language and Literature department at Huaizhou University…”
After hanging up, Zhu Youzhi, who was embracing a hostess, immediately smashed his phone, “Damn Gou Xuan!
Acting all high and mighty when there’s no trouble, and turning into a spineless wimp when things go south!
Serves him right for his bar getting shut down!”
“Ouch, Brother Zhu, why are you so angry…”
“Smack!” A loud slap landed on the hostess’s body, “Stupid slut, trying to act cute with a dick-sucking face, get lost!
Can’t you see I’m pissed off?
Fuck, trying to have fun and I end up attracting bad luck!”
Dressed again, Zhu Youzhi left the private room and went back to his car.
Though he cursed, he still needed to make calls.
He owned a significant share in Nightlife Bar; otherwise, he would have stopped getting involved long ago.
To get involved with the police was simply courting death.
Even if the bar reopened, the criminal record was still there, and with the son of the Director of the Public Security Bureau involved, trouble was inevitable.
Zhu Youzhi really couldn’t understand why Gou Xuan wanted him to call Tang Su, the “Poison Rose”.
He knew a bit about the grudge between them; they were close before but things fell apart later.
Gou Xuan ended up giving Waterfront to Tang Su, only keeping the less noticeable Nightlife for himself – pretty noble of him.
“In this day and age, who gives everything away just like that, what a fool, still needs to ask others for help in the end.” Zhu Youzhi muttered to himself as he looked through his phone contacts for Tang Su’s number.
“Hello, hey, Boss Tang, it’s me, Old Zhu, yes, yes, yes, Zhu Youzhi, hey, hey, hey, wait, hold on, I have something to tell you.”
“It’s too late today, let’s talk tomorrow.
A dial tone came through the phone, leaving Zhu Youzhi cursing again, so he dialed Tang Su again and this time he cut right to the chase as soon as the call connected,
“Boss Tang, Ye Tian was arrested by the police, it’s been three days, he fought the son of Director Liu.
Boss Tang, are you listening?
After Zhu Youzhi finished the call, Tang Su, lying in her bed, couldn’t sleep anymore.
About half a month had passed since she last saw Ye Tian after driving him away.
Although they hadn’t spent much time together, she knew what kind of person Ye Tian was.
He wouldn’t hit anyone unless absolutely necessary.
He had shown such restraint in their booth incident, and at the bank robbery too.
Tang Su even speculated that if the robbers hadn’t taken her hostage, Ye Tian wouldn’t have bothered to fight, no matter how much money was stolen.
Just how could such a cautious and low-profile person get in trouble with the police?
Mobile in hand, she rapidly went through contacts who might be able to help, but ultimately dismissed each one.
Finally, Tang Su sighed and pulled out the hidden number she’d concealed in her blacklist; after hesitating a few times, even getting to the point of tossing her phone away, she ultimately picked it up again…
When Zhu Youzhi reached Huaizhou University the next day, he still didn’t understand Gou Xuan’s reasons for sending him to find a student here; after all, it was usually money and connections that mattered more.
Observing the university students’ disdainful looks, Zhu Youzhi smirked, What are you looking at!
As if being a university student is anything special, they still end up under me in bed.
“Chinese Language and Literature department, freshman, class three…” Muttering the info Gou Xuan had given him, Zhu Youzhi scrambled around the large academic building, finally finding the classroom after asking a few female students.
However, the class was ongoing, so he had to wait.
Zhu Youzhi wiped his sweat, looked disdainfully at the students sleeping during class, feeling nothing but contempt for them.
Soon as the class ended, Zhu Youzhi stepped forward, stopping the first student that came out, and asked, “Who is Gu Yue?”
The male student looked at him suspiciously then pointed backwards, “That girl in the floral dress.”
Zhu Youzhi froze, his face showing shock—This connection he found was too good!
The police station would have to smooth things out now!
“Mom, just help me this one last time, please, mommy.” Inside a residence of the Gu Family, Gu Yue was shaking Tang Jiaoqian’s arm and acting coquettishly, her tear-stained face looking pitiful.
Tang Jiaoqian, however, wasn’t swayed and sat calmly, shaking her head to the sound of Beijing Opera playing from an old radio, which was currently airing “Drunk Concubine”, telling the story of Emperor Tang and Yang Guifei.
“Yue, I remember from last time, it’s this Ye Tian, isn’t it?
Who exactly is he that you care so much?
Don’t tell me he’s just a classmate, I won’t believe it.”
As she shook her head and occasionally sang a few lines, Gu Yue felt frustrated, pouting and saying, “Mom, he saved me last time and got beaten up himself.
He even had a large gash on his head because of me.” Gu Yue gestured in the air with her hands, trying to show her mother how big the wound was.
Tang Jiaoqian opened her eyes, turned off the radio, seemed to be savoring something, and did not speak for a long while.
Gu Yue knew it was her mother’s habit to calm her mind after listening to opera; during this time, no one bothered her.
Gu Yue didn’t want to disturb her either.
“Yes?” Expecting to wait at least an hour, she was surprised her mother spoke so soon.
Smoothing the silk scarf on her legs, Tang Jiaoqian turned around to look at Gu Yue, her gaze gentle, “Tell me, have you fallen for this Ye Tian?”
Gu Yue was startled, then aggressively waved her hand, “How could that be, Mom, stop teasing, you’ve never met him, you don’t even know what he looks like.
He has a buzz cut, mom, what kind of era are we in to still have a buzz cut?
Also, the way he holds cigarettes is so funny.
People usually hold it between these two fingers; do you know how he does it?
With these two…” As Gu Yue detailed all of Ye Tian’s bad habits to her mother, she laughed loudly, repeatedly questioning “How could I possibly fall for such a brawling maniac?”
