Chapter 389: Song Yi Truly Is His Good, Virtuous Helper
Chapter 389: Song Yi Truly Is His Good, Virtuous Helper
Lu Yan wasn’t someone who liked to meddle in other people’s business, especially when it came to a young girl still in school.
In the end, he just chuckled softly and said, "Alright, you must be a very bright student. You might be smart when it comes to studying, but in dealing with people, you should learn from others."
"When you enter society in the future, just having good grades won’t be enough."
Having said that, Lu Yan took his leave. It was advice, and whether or not this little student would heed it, he no longer concerned himself with.
Song Nuan blinked, watching his back.
She fell into a brief moment of contemplation.
In the end, Song Nuan saw him go up to give a speech on fire safety knowledge.
The person on the stage exuded righteousness, composed and confident. Every word seemed full of power, echoing throughout the campus.
Also echoing in her ears.
After the fire safety training ended, she thought that was it, but when Song Nuan returned to the classroom, she expected to do her homework.
Unexpectedly, the teacher brought someone back in.
Song Nuan looked up and saw Lu Yan.
He was holding some fire equipment in his hands, standing on the podium, courteously and confidently explaining to them how to use those things.
"Alright, the usage methods of these things, I’ve made very clear outside earlier. If there’s any student who doesn’t understand, feel free to ask me."
"Fire prevention knowledge is very important, and I hope everyone can understand that. Also, you should learn how to use fire equipment." Lu Yan added, "The things I brought today can be purchased; they’re needed at home as well, like smoke detectors and home fire extinguishers. If you need them, you can register with your teacher, and someone will bring them next time."
Having finished speaking, he said a couple of words to the teacher and prepared to leave.
Song Nuan stood up, "Brother, can I add you on WeChat?"
Lu Yan stopped upon hearing the soft voice.
Turning around, he saw Song Nuan below the stage, and he didn’t forget since they had met at the restroom door.
"Why?" he asked.
Song Nuan replied earnestly, "I’m afraid I’ll forget and not know how to use it, and the smoke detector probably needs battery changes and such. I fear I’d get ripped off if I went out to buy it, so I wanted to ask you."
Lu Yan thought for a moment and replied, "I didn’t bring my phone. You can ask your teacher about me later."
He smiled afterward and left.
It was clear that he had declined her request to add him on WeChat.
Song Nuan lowered her eyelashes, fluttering, and sat back in place.
Her desk mate asked, "Do you like that brother? I think he’s quite handsome."
"No." Song Nuan held a pen, "I just wanted to ask him those questions."
Really?
Really?
Is that really the case?
Song Nuan felt a bit confused.
...
The bathroom in the shopping mall.
A sign indicating repairs blocked many people needing to use the restroom.
On the dry floor inside, a woman lay quietly, her skin as pale and delicate as snow, with wounds of varying depths on her neck. They had been treated but not bandaged.
"Miss, miss, wake up." Beside her, an auntie was patting her face.
"Mm—" The woman groaned, frowning as she opened her eyes, her misty fox-like eyes vaguely seeing an auntie in a cleaning outfit.
She frowned, the pain in her neck was sharp, and she covered her neck with her hand.
But she realized, she was in a bathroom? She was sleeping in a bathroom?!
"I... why am I here?"
The auntie said, "I just hung up the repair sign, and when I came in, I saw you wobbling and falling down. Your neck got cut by something nearby. I wiped the wound with some paper for you; maybe you should go to the hospital. It looks quite serious."
Song Yi furrowed her brows, trying to recall something, but her memory only remained at the moment she stepped out.
The more she tried to remember, the more her head hurt.
Song Yi pressed against her temples, trying to ease the headache.
She glanced at the bloodstains beside her, confirming she had indeed been cut.
Looking down, she was still clutching Tang Si’s report papers from last time. She intended to use them to find Gu Chu.
Did she not go?
Song Yi looked down at her phone, seeing missed calls from Gu Chu, two or three times.
Really...
Song Yi supported herself with an arm on the floor and stood up. She really hadn’t gone...
What happened to her?
The auntie saw Song Yi stumbling and reached out to steady her, "Be careful, are you alright?"
"No, thank you."
Song Yi walked out of the restroom.
Maybe she really should go to the hospital for a check-up.
She sent a message back to Gu Chu.
"Sorry, something came up, can we schedule for another time?"
The reply came, "Sure, no worries."
...
The auntie in the cleaning outfit watched her leave.
Dialed a number.
"Mr. Sheng, it’s done, she believed it."
Fu Jingsheng: "Okay."
Hanging up the phone, Fu Jingsheng let out a breath, leaning against the sofa, his eyes fixated on the ceiling.
To him, Song Yi was important. Without Song Yi, there’d be no him today.
And as for Gu Chu, he was a partner, a comrade he’d been through thick and thin with. He couldn’t give him up either.
Between the two, he needed to weigh the options... this was the only way.
Erase that moment of Song Yi’s memory.
...
At the same time, in a small villa.
Gu Nanjiu kicked the door open, his face covered in dust, with some dirt on his clothes as well.
"Welcome back, Master Jiu," greeted a man as he approached.
Gu Nanjiu tugged at his collar and sat directly on the sofa, his expression terrifyingly gloomy, "The T Organization won’t supply raw materials?"
His first piece of news after escaping from prison was this!
The T Organization had been a long-time supplier; suddenly, they wouldn’t cooperate. Where would he find drug materials?
Finding a new source takes time for vetting. No idea if it’s reliable or not.
"Yes." The man beside him replied respectfully, "They said... you’ve been targeted by the police; it’s too unsafe to continue working with you."
"Bang!" Gu Nanjiu kicked the table fiercely, toppling it instantly, tea cups scattering all over.
His plans had been completely disrupted.
The original plan to kill Liu Zhong was to use Liu Qiang to take over Liu Zhong’s position in the company.
The pharmaceutical group was a perfect place for money laundering and expanding his drug empire.
But damn it, because Tang Si got involved in the case, it’s all ruined!
He went to jail, had Liu Qiang release the video of Tang Si, defaming him, to make him stop, thus reducing the pressure on his side.
Who would have thought, Tang Si had Song Yi, his capable inside help.
Her entertainment company was strong at PR, and when PR didn’t work, they threw money around as if it grew on trees.
Everything online was suppressed completely; Tang Si couldn’t be suspended, and this didn’t seem to cause him any mental breakdown, no pressure.
Liu Qiang was useless, getting arrested by Tang Si.
The whole plan was thrown into chaos.
