"We checked Shi Bianji's records, and all we know so far is that he returned to China this time because he was invited by a domestic university to give an academic lecture."
Shi Si was drenched in sweat. He brushed his disheveled hair back, took a drag on his cigarette, and looked at Shi Youxi, who was doing practice problems. "He Cheng's trail ended in northern Myanmar. Our people are still looking for him. I was just telling you I was reporting to you!"
"Hey!" Shi Si tossed the bottle of mineral water in his hand over, the bottle stood in front of the boy, and was thrown back at him the next second.
"You came here to do your homework? Why don't you go back to school to do it!"
"You called me here just to say you can't catch anyone?"
Shi Youxi didn't even look up. Although he had decided to choose psychology, it didn't mean he wouldn't study financial management. Just like his sister said, he needed to become stronger so that he could do whatever he wanted.
Shi Si choked. He looked at Shi Youxi, who was writing furiously, and found it strange. Mainly, he had never seen his young master so diligent.
"No, you're already in first place, why are you still working so hard?"
Shi Si was also a top student who easily got into the capital university, but he never worked as hard as Shi Youxi. Shi Youxi was more talented, which is why Shi Si couldn't understand his actions these past few days.
"What do you know! It's normal for the young master to be studying hard when he has exams coming up." The tattooed man pushed open the door and stood in front of Shi Si to prevent him from harassing Shi Youxi.
Shi Si rolled her eyes: "As the only college student among the three people present, I know more than you!"
"What's the use of knowing? We can't even catch one He Cheng!"
"Did I lose it? Did I lose it?!"
Two grown men biting each other's faces wasn't enough; they escalated to a small punch accompanying every word.
The office was filled with screams. Shi Youxi sat there without even lifting his eyelids, as if there was a natural barrier between him and the noise, completely unaffected. His phone rang, and he answered, "Speak."
"Young Master, something seems a bit off."
Shi Youxi's heart tightened suddenly, and she stopped writing, asking, "What happened to her?"
The bodyguard looked at the monitoring device and stammered, "Young Master's men have already come out of the room, but the tracker shows they're still inside and haven't moved an inch."
"What?!"
Hearing the sudden coldness in the other person's tone, the bodyguard mumbled, "Young Master, is it that young lady has diarrhea...?"
That's impossible. If the tracker were expelled from the human body, it would have already been flushed into the sewer. How could it still be in the same spot?
The bodyguard pinched his nose. Had that young lady not flushed the toilet after having diarrhea?!
Shi Youxi suddenly stood up, his face already ashen. His movement attracted the attention of the two men who were entangled together.
"Are you sure you saw her come out?"
The bodyguard said with certainty, "I'm sure, Miss Ai Ni came out with her." Remembering that the woman he had just seen was wearing a mask, he paused and changed his words, "Uh... actually, I didn't see her whole face, only half of it. That lady seemed to have a cold and was wearing a mask."
Shi Youxi hung up the phone and called Ai Ni. The person on the other end replied shortly after: "Madam has a minor cold, nothing else is wrong."
Shi Youxi then messaged Cheng Ran on WeChat, which was pinned to the top of her chat list, wanting to video chat. She quickly replied with a voice message.
"I'm at the company. I'll get back to you when I get back. Go do your homework after school, young master."
Even though the tone and voice were exactly the same, Shi Youxi could still detect something strange.
Especially since she replied so quickly!
My sister doesn't reply to every message; she only replies instantly when I keep refreshing her feed.
If something is wrong even slightly, then everything else feels wrong.
Shi Youxi couldn't stop his wild thoughts. He got up and was about to leave when he was stopped by a man with a tattooed arm. "Young Master, what happened?"
"I want to go to Shenzhen and Hong Kong."
"Why the sudden trip to Shenzhen and Hong Kong? To find Cheng Ran? Did something happen to her?"
Shi Youxi gritted his teeth. Even though the two people in front of him would never betray him, he still couldn't tell them his sister's identity.
Even Guan Shiyan was skeptical, so these two were even less likely to believe it. Revealing their sister's identity would only bring unnecessary trouble and could even risk their sister leaving their side.
"She...she is sick."
"That's it?" The tattooed man raised an eyebrow. "I'll just have my brothers over there send someone to check it out."
"No! I'll go see for myself." Shi Youxi walked around him and was about to book a plane ticket on her phone when a forceful hand appeared on her phone.
"You cannot leave the young master of the capital."
Shi Youxi's face darkened. He twisted his wrist to break free from the tattooed arm, but the tattooed arm did not give way. It gripped the boy's shoulders and said in a deep voice, "Young Master, you cannot leave the capital—"
"Young Master!" Shi Si looked in surprise at the gleaming silver blade under the tattooed arm and neck.
"Get out of the way." Shi Youxi uttered coldly, his phoenix eyes turning completely black. At this moment, he couldn't see anything; all he could think about was getting to that person's side.
Shi Si was surprised by Cheng Ran's influence on Shi Youxi, but the most important thing at the moment was to reassure the residents, "The master will absolutely not let you leave the capital. Even if you buy a plane ticket, that plane will not be able to take off."
Shi Youxi's jaw tightened, and he tightened his grip on the blade, pressing closer to the tattooed man's neck, leaving a faint mark on his bronze skin.
The sharp object gleamed with a chilling light, but the tattooed man wasn't worried at all about his neck being slashed open. He softened his tone and met the boy's gaze. "Even if you threaten me, it won't work. Once you're on the national highway, the master will know where you are. You won't even be able to get into the airport."
Since Bai Shengsheng escaped, Shi Yan has controlled all the roads leading out of the capital. Just as Shi Si said, even if Shi Youxi manages to get on the plane, Shi Yan can still make the flight canceled.
Shi Youxi's fingertips turned white, and his teeth ached from clenching them. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, suppressing the violent feeling surging within him.
A few seconds later, seeing Shi Youxi release his hand, Shi Si secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He took out his phone and said, "I'll have the people in Shenzhen and Hong Kong arrange for a doctor to go to Cheng Ran's place right now."
"don't want."
"ah?"
Shi Si froze, staring at Shi Youxi. He was truly terrified of Shi Youxi. The doctor had already said that the young master's condition had been good recently, and he hadn't been so out of control with his emotions as he was now, ready to explode at any moment. For Shi Youxi's sake, Shi Si and Hua Bi had been going along with him in everything.
Shi Youxi simply said, "I'll call someone myself."
Once she calmed down, Shi Youxi recalled the time when Cheng Ran was unconscious, and then connected it with what her sister had said that night, there must have been a reason why she had to go.
Shi Youxi guessed that it was related to her sister's true identity. Perhaps she wanted to take advantage of the business trip to get away from everyone and do her own thing. The person the bodyguard saw was just a stand-in. The real Cheng Ran was still in the suite.
As long as Cheng Ran is here, my sister will be here too.
Shi Youxi ordered bodyguards to stand guard outside the suite, and he also needed to find someone to check on Cheng Ran's current condition.
Who is the most suitable person to go?
At the same moment, the lucky winner was lying in the car, half asleep, when he felt a vibration under his arm. Guan Shiyan took out his phone.
"Spit it out... What?!"
Guan Shiyan's eyes snapped open, and he jumped up from his seat, his head hitting the roof. "Ah—Shi Youxi, I'll fuck your grandpa!"
As night fell, Hongxinq made a few polite remarks and then, as Cheng Ran had instructed, sent Ai Ni to buy dinner.
Ai Ni glanced at the restaurant on the woman's phone, located 15km away from the hotel. Without hesitation, she nodded, "Okay, Madam, wait for me. Half an hour will be enough."
RedheartQ pulled down his mask, revealing his nose, and smiled: "Go ahead."
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he won't be back for an hour and a half.
Watching Ai Ni enter the elevator, Hongxin returned to her suite. She took off her mask and breathed a sigh of relief. Standing in front of the mirror, she checked her makeup. This job was simpler than she had imagined, and not as difficult as Miss Cheng had said.
Especially the younger brother she mentioned who needed the most attention, he didn't do anything except send a few WeChat messages a day.
Redheart didn't notice that after she entered the room, someone came to the outside of the suite. The woman took out a room card and was about to swipe it to open the door when she was restrained by a hand.
Startled, Chen Yiting turned around and saw the person behind her staring at her.
"What are you doing?"
