Smart Kid

編集者: EndlessFantasy Translation

He Yi pushed the booth door open with force and the two men in black who were eavesdropping appeared within the crowd's vision instantly. Noticing He Yi who was busy questioning Chu Tianyi while pointing at them, they proceeded to flee..

He Yi ran over swiftly and knocked over one of them. The other man hesitated on whether to help out his partner for a second when he noticed he was seized. He was eventually overwhelmed with fear and turned to flee.

"Stop him! He took my bag!" He Yi forced the taser on the fallen man's armpit so that he could not strike back or rise up. Noticing a man who was walking over in the walkway, she cried for help. "Get him, he's a robber!" 

She did not have high expectations because no one would be willing to get involved in trouble, not to mention the man who fled looked intimidating with his chubby face and unfriendly expression.

To her surprise, that man reacted quickly and extended his long leg to trip the man who was running away.

The man staggered and almost fell as he cursed, "F*ck, are you having a death wish?..."

The man was thrown off before he could finish and landed with a loud thump. His body became twisted and his eyes were rolled back into his head, he almost fainted.

He Yi was relieved and she gave the man who helped her a big thumbs up for his slick moves. Then, she laid eyes on that man's face and she was stunned.

The man who helped He Yi had a handsomely muscular body with outstanding good looks. With his imposing domineering aura, he could be the spotlight on any occasion without even speaking. His mighty presence had to be accumulated throughout years of experience.

However, those were not the reason behind He Yi's shock. That man's flawless features were familiar to He Yi because he was someone she knew! It was Yi Liangze!

He Yi thought of him as her final card as she planned to look for his help for business after setting her foot in Yun City. Therefore, she did not expect to meet him so soon, not to mention in such a situation. She was caught off guard.

"Watch out!" Yi Liangze called out hurriedly, his lean figure charged over like a dragon to push He Yi away. He clasped onto the arms of the man who was holding a dagger before knocking his stomach with his kneecap.

"Ow!" The man felt like his intestines broke and he almost bit his tongue off from the pain. He slumped onto the floor, almost having a seizure.

He Yi exclaimed internally. She was too shocked by Yi Liangze's presence that she became careless and forgot about the dangerous man. That man found room to breathe when the taser moved and proceeded to attack He Yi immediately like a vicious snake.

She was lucky that Yi Liangze saved her right on time or she might get stabbed.

Yi Liangze seized the two slouched men over before giving them two hard kicks and they squealed in pain.

"Miss He, how are you?" Yi Liangze stared at He Yi with his dark expressive eyes, his lips curved into a meaningful smile.

"Uh, Young Master Yi, I wasn't expecting to meet you so soon!" Recovered from her daze, He Yi took a deep breath to suppress her fury and barely regained her composure.

"It seems like I helped you in some kind of trouble." Yi Liangze shot the men whining in pain while slouched on the floor an indifferent gaze and blinked slowly.

"Thank you!" Thanked He Yi before correcting him, "Indeed, you helped me in a huge trouble!"

She turned over to the crowd who came out of the booth to spectate the scene. She pointed at the captured men and questioned coldly, "Who hired them to tail me?"

The crowd was astonished before turning to each other to ask whether they knew those men. It was obvious that no one would admit to being involved with them.

"Brother Liang!" Fang Yuan was the first to jump forward. She pulled on Yi Liangze's buffed arm with affection and exclaimed happily, "You're finally here! Chu Chu has been waiting for you!"

Chu Chu's cheeks flushed the moment she saw him. She lowered her head and became shy.

Fang Yuan was trying to be a matchmaker to get Yi Liangze and Chu Chu together. That was why she kept urging Yi Liangze to come.

Chu Tianyi's face was in purple. He threw He Yi a cold gaze before turning to Yi Liangze and finally to the two men wincing on the floor. He pursed his lips and said in a cold tone, "I will never do such a thing!"

"Oh." He Yi laughed dryly at Chu Tianyi's shamelessness. "If you have nothing to do with this, I'll hand them to the police."

"I'll call the police!" Chu Tianyi took out his phone and called the police.

He Yi's heart skipped when she remembered that Chu Tianyi was not the same person she once knew. There was no way that she could fight against him as he would definitely find a way to cover this up since he was familiar with both the police and criminals. "Wait! Young Master Yi caught those men. He should be the one to solve this!"

He Yi speculated that Chu Chu did not have any progress with Yi Liangze yet hence why Fang Yuan was trying to get them together. Therefore, He Yi grasped the opportunity before both of them could get married and become in-laws. After all, Yi Liangze was also of high social status and he would not be bothered to join forces with Chu Tianyi.

"Who do you think you are? What makes you think that you can order Brother Liang to do things for you?" Fang Yuan was the first to voice out.

Ignoring He Yi completely, Chu Piaoyun gave Yi Liangze an understanding smile and spoke to him politely, "Liangze, you're here! Take a seat!"

She did not even acknowledge He Yi's presence and she could not be bothered less so she ignored her completely.

Chu Piaoyun did not speak a word to He Yi since she showed up. She was using her actions to show that she did not care about He Yi at all.

Yi Liangze got a warm welcome from those present which was the complete opposite of the repulse toward He Yi. Fang Yuan kept flinging herself to Yi Liangze's arm like bubblegum and she dragged him into the booth for a seat.

Two hotel security guards came soon to take the men slouching on the floor in pain away.

"Wait!" Yi Liangze stopped them with a faint tone and said, "We should hand them to the police."

Chu Tianyi had to go along with his words. "Follow Young Master Yi's order! Come on in!"

Yi Liangze turned to He Yi who was ignored by everyone and asked softly, "Miss He, are you alright?

He Yi recollected herself and replied with a smile, "I'm fine. Thank you for helping me!"

She did not talk to anyone else after that and walked straight to Wan Wan. Staring at the neglected child, she had countless words to tell her but she could only utter a sentence, "Wan Wan, call me if you get into trouble!" Then, she read out a series of numbers to her.

Wan Wan stared at He Yi with her huge dark eyes timidly. She nodded lightly when He Yi asked her if she memorized her phone number.

What a smart kid!

He Yi had been good with memorizing numbers since young, she could memorize up to a hundred decimal points so memorizing a phone number would not be a problem. She assumed that her daughter was good at memorizing numbers, too!

Only those implemented in memory would never be lost.

"Good girl." He Yi's eyes moistened as she hugged Wan Wan and landed a light kiss on her forehead. Then, she stood and walked away in huge steps.

"Brother Liang, where are you going?" shouted Fang Yuan.

"I have something else to do, let's meet on another day!" Yi Liangze waved his arm at Fang Yuan before running off to chase He Yi.
