23 23.Yieldless Yearnings

Mark realized it would be best not to talk about the incident.Thus,the trio spent their night talking about various vague topics to divert Wang Xiu's attention from the horrible memories of the incident.

Thus another night passed and the Sun rose from the horizon,giving birth to a new day.

The trio followed the usual routine and reached the uni campus by 8:00.All the students were wandering outside the classes.Mark thought this was a good opportunity for him to study peacefully.He entered the class,took out his books and dug his head into a pile of it.There was no way anyone could divert his attention now.However,someone was watching him from the door.

They were blocking the sunlight.Mark got furious.He wanted to know the person who was disturbing him.It was not Akio,as he knows him enough to identify him without even looking.However,on look at their jacket gave away everything.It was a bottle green jacket with a golden symbol(人).

Mark had asked Akio what it meant.He saw it on every person related to Ren family.Akio had said that the symbol stands for Ren,a family name.

Mark looked up cautiously.He was right.It was one of Gu Ren's accomplices.

"What do you want from me?"He asked.

"My boss needs something."

"Like what?"Mark shouted,to signal Akio,who was outside the class.

The accomplice came over to Mark and leaned on his bench.

"Do not think I am a fool of any kind."His long golden hair was drooping on Mark's face. "Tell your boss,the Japanese guy to stay away from Wang Xiu's life and yeah,I am not here to harm you in anyway.So,stop calling him here."

"Pfft....Hahaha.."Mark began to laugh loudly. "He is not my boss.He is just my friend."Mark could not control his laughter.

The accomplice was dumbfounded.He did not expect to become a laughingstock.He hid his face in the hoodie and hastily walked outside the classroom.While he was running,He bumped into someone.It was Akio.

"What business do you have here?If it is anything about Wang Xiu,tell him that there no hope of her accepting him and also,he has no right to force her."Akio scolded.

The accomplice was too embarrassed for his own good.He said nothing and ran away from the engineering department campus.

At about 10:30 or during break time,there was a sudden pandemonium in the campus.Police cars kept on coming in,along with a chopper hovering around the building.The teachers noticed this and evacuated the rooms along with the students.Mark's classroom was evacuated at the last.They all scampered to the source of the sound and saw something terrible.

It was Gu Ren,holding Wang Xiu by the neck over the edge of the terrace.Wang Xiu looked petrified.However,when she saw Mark and Akio,her anxiety level came down.She believed in them.She knew they would do something to save her.All these police are just puppets.One phone call from Mr.Ren was enough to dissolve the entire case.Only they could fight for the purpose of justice.

Will Mark and Akio be able to save her?
