Chapter 58: Yun Fuyu is missing. How do you know I will keep my promise?
The woman stammered.
"I...ah, I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself."
The woman adjusted her hair again and smiled gently at the camera.
"...Chaosheng. How are you doing in the military academy? I heard from Teacher Zhou that you're very busy. Don't overwork yourself. We don't have to spend money on medicine now, so you can keep the money for yourself..."
Her voice was slow, as if she had thought about it for a long time in advance, but when she actually spoke, she kept getting stuck.
"Are there still 31 days left before you can have your holiday? No need to rush back; you can spend a few more days hanging out with your classmates. Your dad...your dad's health has improved a lot, and he's been awake longer. He even asked me when you'd be home. He misses you, too, but he just hasn't told you."
Lin Chaosheng's mother repeatedly told him not to worry about them, to take good care of himself, and to get along well with his friends...
It was as if she was trying to make up for the years she was absent from Lin Chaosheng's growth.
Yun Fuyu turned the volume of the video to the minimum, curled up in the quilt to watch it, and her nose felt sore.
She looks alike to Lin Chao, and her voice is so gentle.
Finally, the woman stopped muttering and fell silent.
The person behind the camera whispered, "Are you done?"
The woman nodded: "Yes, yes, Teacher Zhou, thank you..."
The photographer, known as Teacher Zhou, waved his hand: "Hey, no need to thank me,——"
The video ends here.
Yun Fuyu rubbed his eyes and wanted to hand the video directly to Lin Chaosheng downstairs to let him know and reassure him.
But no, at least not for now.
"Chao Zhao: Lin Chaosheng's parents are already at the Chao family. The people Lancelot found are probably bad guys pretending to be his parents^ ^"
Just as Chao Zhao expected, Lancelot's dialog box lit up.
"Lancelot: The Chao family has been notified. Since Lin Chaosheng's parents have expressed their wish not to leave home, additional personnel have been dispatched to take over your treatment. Don't worry."
Lancelot also sent Yun Fuyu a video of Lin Chaosheng's parents.
But after watching the video, Yun Fuyu felt a chill all over his body.
The people in the video are extremely similar in dress and details to Lin Chaosheng's parents in Chao Zhao's video. Their every move and expression are perfectly imitated, but there are some clues of difference in their appearance details.
"Yun Fuyu: Didn't Lancelot find out?"
He doesn't seem like such a careless person.
"Zhao Zhao: After all, they are from the Sun Chaser Tower. The speed of modifying information is always faster than the speed of searching for information. Identity documents, photos, medical records, and hospitalization records may have been modified."
"Chao Zhao: And Lancelot came to you to confirm it, didn't he? ^^ If it wasn't him, then Xiaoyun would have forwarded it to Lin Chaosheng, and Lin Chaosheng would have discovered it naturally. This is the best way to verify it."
"Zhao Zhao: I've told you everything. I haven't hidden anything from you, baby. It's up to you to decide whether to inform Lancelot or not. [Kiss]"
Lancelot would not use Lin Chaosheng's parents to threaten Yun Fuyu, but Chao Zhao would.
But Yun Fuyu couldn't afford the gamble.
Not even a possibility.
"Zhao Zhao: Baby, I am sincere enough, right? Not only did I send Lin Chaosheng's parents to get medical treatment, I even helped him make up a story and didn't let his parents get scared. TT I have tried so hard, baby, if you don't come to me, I will be very sad."
Chao Zhao generously paid the "reward" in advance and sent people to treat Lin Chaosheng's parents well, but he also controlled their lives and could take it back at any time.
Using both soft and hard tactics, all avenues of rejection were blocked.
Yun Fuyu had a cold expression on his face. He held the communicator tightly and stared at Chao Zhao's message on the light screen.
This is a negotiation, and Yun Fuyu has no one to help him, so he must see all the chips clearly.
"Yun Fuyu: Lin Chaosheng has retired from the team. I can stop meeting with him, but you must ensure his safe passage through the joint military exercise."
"Yun Fuyu: Your video mentioned the Sun Chaser Tower, which will give it away. I'm going to send it to Lin Chaosheng. Could you please have someone reshoot it? Don't disturb Lin Chaosheng's parents."
You definitely can’t send the fake video to Lin Chaosheng.
Since even Yun Fuyu could see the flaw, Lin Chaosheng must have realized that something was wrong.
"Zhao Zhao: These can all be solved, as long as you come to me for a hug."
"Yun Fuyu: OK."
Fear and gratitude can both control people.
But which one is more suitable for Yun Fu Yu?
Chao Zhao didn't want him to be afraid, but rather wanted him to be grateful.
The use of coercion will inevitably lead to misunderstandings.
However, as long as Yun Fuyu is willing to come to him, Chao Zhao will let him slowly forgive these misunderstandings.
*
A few days later, one night.
Chao Zhao raised his eyebrows, sat on the sofa, and watched Yun Fuyu slowly walk into the hall.
"Are you finally willing to see me?"
During these few days, Yun Fuyu sent the new video sent by Chao Zhao and Lancelot's care plan to Lin Chaosheng to reassure him.
At the same time, the person in charge of the Chao family apologized to Lin Chaosheng and took the initiative to transfer Lin Chaosheng to a freshman team of the Chao family - and only notified Lin Chaosheng after the deadline.
Obviously, this was also done by Chao Zhao.
Lin Chaosheng had no choice but to participate in the joint military exercise with the Chao family team without even the chance to withdraw from the team.
In this way, the matter was temporarily resolved on the surface.
Yun Fuyu's team lost its captain and became three people instead of four.
Everyone continued to train in such a messy and confused manner, waiting for the date of the joint military exercise to approach.
——As long as all four of them can pass the military exercise, it doesn’t matter if they separate temporarily.
After the military exercise, they can get together again.
But only Yun Fuyu himself knew that Chao Zhao had been waiting in secret, waiting for him to fulfill his promise.
After his teammates gradually let down their guard, Yun Fuyu found an opportunity and came to the Sun Chaser Club alone.
That is the current situation.
Yun Fuyu did not avoid his gaze and looked straight at Chao Zhao.
"You said that as long as I came to see you, you would continue to help treat Lin Chaosheng's parents."
Nodded at Zhao.
"Well, I keep my word. Just like in the video, I give them the best conditions."
He sat cross-legged leisurely on the soft white sofa. The natural light from the outside came through the clear floor-to-ceiling windows, making him look extremely holy.
Chao Zhao deliberately put his legs down and patted them.
"Come and sit down."
Yun Fuyu didn't move and made all the conditions clear.
"We can't embarrass other teammates or their families either."
Chao Zhao: "Yeah, yeah, baby has said it many times, I remember it all."
Yun Fuyu: "What will you do if the Fenrir family finds out about this?"
Chao Zhao comforted him: "Don't worry, even if we are discovered, I will not do anything to his parents."
Chao Zhao put on a pitiful yet flattering expression.
"But then Adrian will definitely give me a hard time... Baby, you have to give me some reward, right? Otherwise, I really won't get any benefit at all."
Yun Fuyu stared at him: "How long is the deadline?"
Zhao Zhao smiled.
"What do you think?"
Yun Fuyu: "...I must come back to participate in the joint military exercise."
Chao Zhao: "Come and sit down."
Chao Zhao was calm and composed, and did not take the initiative to approach Yun Fuyu. He just sat there and waited for Yun Fuyu to come to him.
After the showdown, the voice changer was no longer needed and his male voice returned.
To be fair, it's a pleasant sound.
Her voice is both low and soft, with a slight nasal sound when lowered, which is why she has countless fans as a singer.
But the words he said were so cruel that they didn't match his appearance.
"Don't you want to come over? If you put forward conditions, you have to give something. Otherwise, I will suspect that you actually want me to quickly take your friend away..."
As he spoke, Chao Zhao smiled and made a diagonal chopping gesture with his palm.
Yun Fuyu looked listless and showed no emotion.
As Chao Zhao requested, he walked up to him.
Chao Zhao reached out and embraced him, letting Yun Fuyu sit on his lap, as if he was holding a life-size doll.
"I'm just kidding. Of course I won't do anything to them, otherwise you would definitely ignore me."
There was a hint of complaint in his tone.
Chao Zhao held up Yun Fuyu's face like he was playing with a toy, and looked around.
"Well, I forgot to apply ice to you. Did your eyes get swollen later... Are you still feeling unwell?"
Chao Zhao stretched out his fingers and smoothed Yun Fuyu's unconsciously furrowed brows.
Yun Fuyu didn't say anything and just looked at him quietly.
Chao Zhao held his cheek and pinched Yun Fuyu's smooth face.
Her golden eyelashes drooped as she stared intently at the gift that had been granted.
"Don't be sad. Wasn't he the one who abandoned you first? I just scared him a little and he quit the team. How can such a useless person protect you?"
frighten?
Children can also scare passing ants on a whim.
But no one knows whether the next second, the ant will be stepped on and crushed, or will be merciful and let go.
Chao Zhao was like the child who cruelly controlled the life and death of ants and made the judgment of their fate.
Yun Fuyu's face was pale.
"I don't need protection."
Chao Zhao disagreed:
"Although it's cute when you look like you're trying hard, the facts are clear. Today it's Lin Chaosheng, but what if someone threatens you with another teammate tomorrow? I'm afraid you'll get angry, so I won't attack his parents. But I can't say the same about other nobles."
What a twisted logic. I really want to beat him up.
Yun Fuyu lowered his eyes and nodded imperceptibly.
Chao Zhao suddenly laughed.
"Baby, give me some spiritual guidance."
Yun Fuyu was startled by the jump in the topic.
Chao Zhao leaned close to his slightly widened eyes and kissed his thin eyelids.
"Deep counseling, isn't that possible?"
He held Yun Fuyu tightly in his arms, his hands tightening around her waist.
Yun Fuyu grabbed the hem of her clothes tightly: "No!"
Chao Zhao's cold lips kissed his earlobe: "Why? You have already given Adrian mental counseling."
Looking at the slender fingers, they were very powerful, hitting my lower back hard... again and again...
Yun Fuyu looked very bad.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't let me do anything I didn't like?"
Chao Zhao seemed to have heard something very interesting, his smile became even wider, and he kissed Yun Fuyu's cheek and interrupted him.
"How do you know I'll keep my promise?"
Chao Zhao observed Yun Fuyu's reaction.
The face of the person in his arms, which was already pale to begin with, turned pale in an instant.
Eyelashes tremble slightly.
It looks... pathetic.
So cute.
How can you be so gullible?
Just when Zhao Zhao was about to kiss his eyes and tell him that he was lying to him——
The pair of eyes, clearly black and white, suddenly looked up and looked straight at him.
Yun Fuyu quickly suppressed all panic and looked at Zhao Ding.
"Zhao Zhao. Is this how you treat the person you like?"
He stared at Zhaohe for a long time, then sighed, as if surrendering.
"Okay, okay, don't be angry, I lied to you."
But although Chao Zhao said that he lied to him, he still held Yun Fuyu in his arms.
Chao Zhao leaned close to Yun Fuyu, and his slightly cool breath fell on his eyes.
It was very itchy, Yun Fuyu frowned uncomfortably.
Chao Zhao suddenly whispered in his ear:
"Actually, there are many ways to do it without finishing it. For example, using..."
The air flow deliberately sprinkled on Yun Fuyu's ear.
"Don't get me wrong, I've never done these things with anyone else. I only want to do this with you."
Yun Fuyu avoided Chao Zhao's gaze and did not move.
Only his nails, pressed tightly into his palms with white crescent shapes, revealed his uneasy mood.
Chao Zhao's wrist was suddenly firmly grasped by Yun Fuyu's cold hand.
Yun Fuyu exerted so much force that his hands were shaking, and he and Chao Zhao were in a stalemate.
Chao Zhao maintained his movements easily and confronted him.
"I'll be careful. Okay?"
Yun Fu Yu didn't say anything.
Chao Zhao was taller than him, and could only see Yun Fuyu's black hair and the curve of her snow-white and soft face.
Yun Fuyu seemed very nervous. She turned her head awkwardly and refused to look at Chao Zhao.
Softness and possessiveness strangely occupied my heart at the same time.
Chao Zhao didn't want to scare him, but... he couldn't help but want to go a little too far and test Yun Fuyu's bottom line to see his shy reaction.
Just like some people will insist on burying their head in a cat's belly and petting it until the kitten meows.
Chao Zhao coaxed him gently: "Adrian went too far before and gave you some bad experiences, didn't he? But I won't do that. Baby, didn't you like it last time? I will take my time, whatever you like is fine."
After a while, Yun Fuyu's voice was very soft, as if he was showing weakness.
"...I'm not well yet."
"Really? But before I just...ah."
Chao Zhao looked at Yun Fuyu with a smile.
"It's been so many days. Does this still bother you?"
"The baby is so small, everything about him is so small."
Yun Fuyu frowned and looked at Chao Zhao with unfocused eyes.
"It will be uncomfortable."
So soft.
It seemed as if it had given up struggling, relying entirely on its owner and begging for mercy from him in a coquettish manner.
It perfectly meets the aristocracy's fantasy of a docile and well-behaved pet.
"Then baby, say something nice and I'll let you go, for example..."
"Call me brother, can you?"
Yun Fuyu's voice became softer.
The cold and repulsive white flower had its thorns removed and lay obediently in Chao Zhao's arms.
"......elder brother."
So good.
Although he didn't get to eat it, Chao Zhao was very satisfied. He touched Yun Fuyu's soft black hair and used his fingers to comb out the few strands of hair that were slightly raised during the struggle.
It's more like combing a pet's hair or styling a doll's hair.
In fact, Chao Zhao knew that Yun Fuyu would definitely not give in so quickly.
But even superficial closeness is better than none at all.
Yun Fuyu will slowly get used to being with him.
Where he couldn't see, Yun Fuyu's face was leaning against Chao Zhao's chest.
The black and white eyes were cold and clear.
The training ground commonly used by the Chao family.
The decoration was no different. A freshman team from the Chao family was in the venue, and four noble students were chatting and laughing.
There was only one person, with an indifferent expression and some marks on his bruised face. He sat alone, quietly flipping through the communicator.
It seems like being isolated by teammates, or simply having nothing to say to new teammates, and actively isolating teammates.
A certain noble student nudged the person next to him with his elbow and raised his chin.
"What the hell is going on here? Brother Zhao just gave him a heads-up and shoved him into the team without saying anything."
"How should I know that?"
He looked Lin Chaosheng up and down.
I don't see anything special about it.
He is aloof and weird, never says a word and has a cold face as if others owe him money.
"He's a civilian, right?"
Another teammate joined the discussion.
The man from before scoffed and said, "Who knows? How can a commoner be so capable? Is he really not the illegitimate child of some side branch? I heard that he had originally formed a team, but then for some unknown reason, he abandoned his original teammates and ran away without looking back. How can you quit the team at this juncture? It's so irresponsible..."
Before he could continue, the door that was not closed tightly was suddenly pushed open with a bang.
A tall, dark-skinned student rushed in, looked around, ran straight to Lin Chaosheng, and pulled him up.
"Where's Yun Fuyu?!!!"
The noble students next to him didn't understand what was going on. They sat there in confusion, watching him rush in as if no one was around.
"Who is this person?"
Zhou Bai looked anxious, and it didn't seem like he was pretending.
Lin Chaosheng noticed something was wrong and frowned, "Shouldn't he be with you?"
Zhou Bai punched the wall.
"I can't reach him!"
Lin Chaosheng's tone also became anxious: "What do you mean I can't contact you? Could he be lost at school?"
Zhou Bai was extremely anxious.
"I—no, ever since the day you quit the team, I've wanted to comfort Xiaoyun, but he'd only open the door to see me for a moment. I was afraid he'd be upset, so I stayed by his side every day—"
Lin Chaosheng couldn't stand it anymore: "Get to the point! I was guarding it with you, I haven't lost my memory yet! When did Xiaoyun disappear?!"
Zhou Bai was almost dying of anxiety. After Yun Fuyu was thrown away, he completely lost his calmness on the battlefield:
"I'm saying it again! Ever since your incident was resolved, every time I asked Xiaoyun about his schedule, he happened to miss it. At first, he used to reply promptly, but yesterday, he suddenly stopped replying—"
Lin Chaosheng felt his head buzzing. "What do you mean? You mean you haven't seen him for a few days and you're just looking for him now?"
Zhou Bai was also furious: "No! I met him yesterday afternoon. I guess he disappeared last night! I thought Xiaoyun was unhappy and didn't want to see me after I beat you up, so he was deliberately avoiding me! If not, I would have been watching him everywhere!"
Lin Chaosheng said angrily: "You are talking nonsense! Even if he is angry, he should be angry with me! You clearly know that—"
Lin Chaosheng spoke quickly, but when the words came to his lips he remembered that he was still on the battlefield of the Chao family, so he swallowed the name.
He dragged Zhou Bai out and said, "Let's talk outside!"
*
The two of them quickly ran towards the Chaojia Zhuri Society.
While running, Lin Chaosheng opened the central system on the light screen and reported the student missing.
"Have you sent a message to Xiaoyun today?"
Zhou Bai: "I sent it right away! Xiaoyun didn't reply! Seraphina is rushing to the Fenrir family club!"
In case Yun Fuyu went to find Lancelot for training, they split into two groups and looked for Yun Fuyu at the same time.
The two hurriedly ran to the island where the Sun Chasing Society was located.
The buildings on the island are all in a clean beige color, and outside the buildings are planted small light yellow lilies of the valley.
There was a man in front of the guild hall, sitting leisurely in the shade of the corridor, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
His blond hair fell naturally, bright sunlight shone on his legs, and his upper body was cut into a dark color by shadows.
It's Chao Zhao.
The two stood four or five meters in front of Chao Zhao, their breathing uncertain.
"Where is Yun Fuyu?"
Zhou Bai asked, panting.
Chao Zhao had unknowingly picked a lily of the valley flower, pinched the thin stem, and turned it in his hand.
"Your own teammates can't keep an eye on you, but you ask me instead?"
He sneered at Zhao.
"Oh~ I forgot, there's another one who has already left the team, so he can't be considered a teammate."
The pair of amber-gold eyes in the dark swept over Zhou Bai and Lin Chaosheng with an unfriendly look.
"I wanted to teach you a lesson, but it's Xiaoyun who was soft-hearted."
Lin Chaosheng clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
"What did you do to him?"
He smiled at Zhao, and his expression instantly became extremely pure.
"Nothing much, just asking for some compensation."
Before the two of them could start to attack, Chao Zhao said in a relaxed tone:
"Don't stare at me like that. I don't have the person you're looking for here."
Lin Chaosheng and Zhou Bai obviously didn't believe it and stared at him warily.
Chao Zhao looked happy and made a gesture to invite him in.
The door of the guild hall then opened.
"If you don't believe me, go in and look for it yourself. Just a reminder, your dear Xiaoyun should be at Fenrir's house. If she doesn't hurry..."
The smile on his face deepened, and he didn't continue.
The two of them walked into the guild hall without hesitation, looked at each other, and then split up to look for Yun Fuyu.
Some rooms have open doors, such as the living room, audio-visual room, and tea room.
Some doors were closed but not locked, and could be opened easily by pushing them.
They moved quickly, pushing the doors one by one and searching carefully, leaving no corner untouched, while calling out loudly for Yun Fuyu.
"Xiaoyun?"
"Xiaoyun, are you in there?"
Lin Chaosheng sent a message to Seraphina asking her to observe the movements of Fenrir's family as much as possible while searching anxiously.
But no one responded.
The entire hall was empty, without even a single person in sight.
When the two men came out with unfriendly looks, Chao Zhao leaned against the door with his arms folded, looking relaxed.
"See, I said there's no one."
Lin Chaosheng and Zhou Bai ignored him and walked away quickly.
As soon as the shadow of the Sun-Chasing Society Hall disappeared from their sight, the two of them stopped immediately.
Zhou Bai gritted his teeth and said, "He must have hidden Xiaoyun somewhere."
Lin Chaosheng: "I'll stay here, you go to Fenrir's house for help! Contact us immediately if you have any news!"
Zhou Bai nodded, turned around and ran towards Fenrir's island on the other side of the main island of the military academy, running faster and faster.
-----------------------
The author has something to say: Xiaoyun's path to controlling Chao Zhao begins from now on
I didn't really plan to stay with Chao Zhao. I was waiting for an opportunity to make Lin Chaosheng's parents completely safe, and then beat up F3's dog head.
