Chapter 48: I Don’t Know Him
Panic immediately flashed through Xu Youyou’s weary eyes.
“No, I don’t.”
“Eh? You’re kidding me? Captain Zhong is very popular.”
Shiyao looked at the anxious girl Xu Youyou, puzzled.
“Oh, I see.”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Xu Youyou leaned back immediately to avoid Shiyao’s face moving closer to hers, and explained in a flurry in a cracked voice.
“You, what do you know?”
“You like Captain Zhong, so you dare not admit it?”
Shiyao appeared considerate and patted Xu Youyou’s thigh,
“Come on. There’s no secret between best friends. You may be shocked, or somewhat disappointed at what I’m gonna tell you, but I still have to. Actually Captain Zhong is…”
“Don’t tell me!”
Xu Youyou interrupted Shiyao and kept leaning back, her lips pale.
“What’s your problem, Youyou?”
Feeling Xu Youyou’s shivering, Shiyao immediately checked on her seriously..
“Are you sick?”
Shiyao was extremely concerned, “Stay here. I’m calling doctor!”
“No,”
Xu Youyou grabbed her wrist and calmed down.
“I’m fine. Just tired after taking care of my mom these days.”
Xu Youyou explained feebly, pulling Shiyao back to the chair.
“Yaoyao, he is not a good guy. You’d better stay away from him,”
Xu Youyou held Shiyao’s hands and seriously suggested.
Shiyao murmured to herself, “Of course I know Zhong Yi isn’t a good person. A man that likes to be a host can’t be decent. You Ze is such an example.”
The thought of You Ze inflamed Shiyao again.
But she couldn’t tell Xu Youyou, and could only change the subject. They talked about the past and felt much better.
…
You Ze looked at the man’s information on the computer screen, his face over-clouded.
“Mr. You…”
You Ze had been gazing at the screen for a long time without saying a word. The chill from him seemed to freeze the air. The manager stood aside overawed and dared not speak loudly.
Zhong Yi was half-sober. Even if not, he would be awakened by the chill of You Ze.
“Did you see Shiyao in his room?”
Zhong Yi watched the man’s spurious smile on the screen, and shook his head in surprise.
“That’s impossible. I bet Shiyao doesn’t know him.”
“Why are you so sure?”
After a long while, You Ze coldly said with a still grim face,
“He just took my plane home three days ago.”
You Ze picked up his phone to call Shiyao again.
“But she is missing now.”
Shiyao’s phone was still off. They searched every corner of the club, but found nothing.
“You suspect him of kidnapping your wife?”
Zhong Yi thought, ‘Xing Shenzhi wouldn’t announce his return with such a big move.’
“He only knows you love Zhao Xuehan.”
Zhong Yi nagged in bewilderment. Suddenly, You Ze turned back with piercing eyes, which scared Zhong Yi into feeling a chill up his spine.
“Sorry, bro, I didn’t expect Zhao Xue’er to be so bold…”
After what happened last time, Zhong Yi warned Zhao Xue’er that she was not needed anymore, but she still insisted on following him. She was originally trained to entertain You Ze. However, the plan backfired and Shiyao was gone instead.
“How about this? When Shiyao comes back, I let her smash a bottle toward that bitch…”
Zhong Yi looked around to avoid eye contact with You Ze, in case You Ze would smash his brain.
He never thought Shiyao would be so bad-tempered that she ruined half of Zhao Xue’er’s face.
You Ze turned on his phone and dialed another number, ordering his men to find out where Xing Shenzhi was.
“Go find her, or you’ll never sleep with a woman for the rest of your life.”
Frightened by the hand pressing his underbelly, Zhong Yi quickly pushed You Ze from him and covered his penis.
“Wait, wait. I’m going…”
After knowing where Xing Shenzhi lived, You Ze and Zhong Yi instantly rushed over.
Xing Shenzhi went back home and began to clean up after a brief rest.
The house, a bit remote but livable, was the only house his mother left for him. Xing Shenzhi entrusted the house to his aunt when he went abroad ten years ago. Now when he came back, his aunt was also old, so he planned to renovate it for her to live the rest of her life. Besides, he could settle down in this city.
With a sudden brake at the door, Zhong Yi’s head shook and cracked against the window, which made him almost cry with pain.
“Could you please drive slowly?”
“Get off!”
Ignoring Zhong Yi’s complaint, You Ze pulled him from the copilot seat with a stern face.
Xing Shenzhi put down the rag and came out in slippers, poker-faced.
“What a surprise! What brings you here?”
When he saw You Ze getting out of the car through the window on the second floor, Xing Shenzhi’s heart started to pound, as if being hit hard.
After years of experience abroad, he was no longer an innocent boy. Xing Shenzhi, with a smile on his face, walked downstairs calmly to welcome the honored guests.
You Ze looked at the black-clad and sullen-looking man in front of him, and he was in a trance for a moment.
Xing Shenzhi was in no way alike the innocent boy except that he still looked stubborn.
“Emm. I need your help.”
Considering that Shiyao might be in his hand, You Ze put away his personal feelings and went straight to his purpose.
“Pardon? It’s rare that you, young master of You’s family, would ask me for help.”
Xing Shenzhi smiled with open arms.
“Come in, please.”
You Ze and Zhong Yi followed Xing Shenzhi into the house. Just sitting in the living room made You Ze unable to breathe.
“You still live here?”
He thought that Xing Shenzhi would abandon the house; instead, Xing Shenzhi kept it well.
“Yes. My aunt looks after the house. After all, this is my mother’s estate. How can I abandon it?”
You Ze sneered, crossed his hands and put them on his legs. Smelling something wrong between the two, Zhong Yi quickly took a mouthful of water to calm his nerves.
“Well, seriously,”
Zhong Yi looked at Xing Shenzhi politely with a sincere smile.
“A girl entered your room this afternoon. Do you know where she is?”
Shiyao’s image immediately appeared before Xing Shenzhi, who was suddenly on the alert.
‘Is she You Ze’s girlfriend? How about Zhao Xuehan, not You Ze’s beloved one?’
