Chapter 866: I Can Guarantee That You Would Not Even Have A Chance To Get Lost Anymore
Why didn’t he come?
Leng Zhiyuan stood up immediately. She flagged a cab at the side of the road and headed straight for the army base.
She reached the main entrance of the base. The soldiers on guard came out immediately. She came to the base two or three times back in the past, and the people in the base all recognized her.
The young soldier saluted her and greeted her, “Older Sister-in-law!”
“Where is Major General Zhou? I want to go inside to look for him.” Leng Zhiyuan parted her legs and was about to walk directly through the main gates.
“Ay, older Sister-in-law!” At this moment, the young soldier blocked her hurriedly, he felt uncomfortable, and ducked away with his gaze as he said, “Older Sister-in-law, the base is going to conduct a big check recently, so… relatives of the soldiers and other people are not allowed inside.”
Leng Zhiyuan had long predicted that this would be the ending, she looked over at the young soldier and said, “It is fine if I do not go inside, but can you go inside to report this, and ask Major General Zhou to come out? I have something to tell him, and I would not take up much time.”
“This… Major General Zhou has been very busy recently, older Sister-in-law, you should…go back home…to wait.”
Leng Zhiyuan was speechless. This young soldier was listening to his commands. She did not have to make life difficult for him. If the base had limitations, then she definitely could not enter.
He actually was hiding from her and not seeing her.
Leng Zhiyuan turned around and left.
She walked along the main street and took her phone out from her pocket. Her fair fingers found the number that was extremely familiar inside her heart. She dialed the number time after time.
But she was unable to get through. The other end was forever ringing out with the robotic female voice — Sorry, the number you have dialed has been switched off.

Inside the Leng family villa
Leng Zhiyuan opened the door and walked inside. Leng Hao coincidentally came out from the study. He had a glance at his younger sister and asked, “Zhiyuan, what’s wrong? Your face seems very pale.”
Leng Zhiyuan stopped beside Leng Hao and said, “Older Brother, I think something is wrong.”
“What’s wrong?” Leng Hao pursed his thin lips, and his gaze became worried.
Leng Zhiyuan shook her head slowly as she said, “For now, I am still not clear about it, but I believe it will clear very quickly. Older Brother, can you help me with something?”
“Say it.”
“Zhou Yao has been avoiding me recently. Older Brother, send someone to investigate his whereabouts. The moment you find him, inform me immediately.”
Leng Hao raised his eyebrows up immediately and said, “You and Zhou Yao…”
Leng Zhiyuan did not reply to him at all, and she went to her room.
…
Three whole days pa.s.sed, and Leng Zhiyuan did not get any news about Zhou Yao. There was something strange in the air as she went about her usual ways.
One night, her phone rang, and it was a call from Leng Hao.
“h.e.l.lo, Older Brother…”
The background on the other end was very noisy, but Leng Hao’s voice was still steady and powerful as it rang out from the other end. “We found Zhou Yao.”
Leng Zhiyuan’s eyes lit up as she said, “Where is he?”
“In the bar.”
Bar?
Leng Zhiyuan froze for a moment before she quickly raised her heels and went towards the door. As she walked, she ordered him, “Older Brother, don’t strike just yet. Wait for me to get there before we will see how.”
…
Inside the bar
Leng Zhiyuan ran over hurriedly. She saw Leng Hao at first glance. Leng Hao was seated at the bar, and he held a c.o.c.ktail gla.s.s as he drank from it.
“Older Brother.” She walked over, and said, “Where is he?”
“There.” Leng Hao looked in front of him.
Leng Zhiyuan followed his gaze and looked over. There was a man that was seated at the bar. The man wore a black t-s.h.i.+rt and had a pair of long brown pants. Such simple attire was actually very suitable for Zhou Yao and made him seem even more rogue and mesmerizing as a man.
The bar was very tall. When other men sat there, their feet were unable to reach the ground, but he was the only one. His leather boots were on the floor, and his long legs were curled up. At this moment, he drank beer from a wide brimmed gla.s.s and was chatting happily with a girl seated by his side.
That was right. There was a very beautiful girl seated by his side. She seemed to be from the performing arts troupe inside the base. Leng Zhiyuan had a glance. She seemed to have a previous impression of her. She seemed to be the daughter of some director, and she had good feelings for him.
“Zhiyuan, what is wrong with you and Zhou Yao?” Leng Hao drank some beer and turned his gaze over to side to look at her.
What’s wrong?
Actually, she also did not know.
In the past three days, she did not understand anything that was going on.
She looked at Zhou Yao, who was far away. She did not know what he told that girl, but his thin lips were already curled up, and he stretched his hand out to cup the girl’s shoulders.
The girl went red in the face immediately, and she was extremely shy as she ducked in Zhou Yao’s embrace.
A gust of wind blew past her. When Leng Zhiyuan regained her senses, she realized that Leng Hao, who had just been by her side, was already gone.
…
Leng Hao was already by Zhou Yao’s side. He stretched his hand out to pat Zhou Yao’s shoulder, and his sparkling blue eyes were a little icy with a smile in them as he lowered his gaze to look at Zhou Yao, “Younger Brother-in-law, this is such a coincidence.”
Zhou Yao raised his gaze and looked into Leng Hao’s eyes. His expression did not change too much, and he was not fl.u.s.tered or awkward to be caught by his brother-in-law. He raised his eyebrows and said, “Older Brother.”
His att.i.tude made the veins on Leng Hao’s forehead pop. He had a look at the girl that was still in Zhou Yao’s embrace as he said, “This is?”
“She? Oh, a friend.”
Zhou Yao was so nonchalant about it. Leng Hao’s entire face became dark. He’d controlled himself for a long time now, ever since the moment since he went inside the bar and saw Zhou Yao.
He panted for a moment, and his large palm that he pressed down on Zhou Yao’s shoulder exerted strength.
Zhou Yao slowly let go of the girl in his embrace. His smile did not change as he looked over at Leng Hao and said, “Older Brother, do you…want to hit me?” He shrugged his shoulders and said, “What did I do wrong?”
Seeing him act like he needed to be beaten, Leng Hao’s gaze turned dark. His right hand that he drooped by his side was clenched into a fists, and he wanted to give him a blow.
“Older Brother.” A small, fair hand pressed down on the large palm on Zhou Yao’s shoulder.
Zhou Yao turned his gaze over to the side. Leng Zhiyuan came over.
Both of their gazes collided in mid air. Leng Zhiyuan looked at Zhou Yao quietly. The man’s eyes were still deep and bright, and he seemed darker than usual. He was also looking over at her and did not duck away.
“Zhiyuan, Older Brother will help you to teach this b.a.s.t.a.r.d a lesson!”
Leng Zhiyuan kept her hand back and calmly said, “Older Brother, this is my issue. You don’t have to worry about it.”
Leng Hao was extremely furious as he said, “You are still thinking of protecting him? Think about it yourself. How many times have you defended him already? What have you gotten in return? He actually brought a woman here to drink and enjoy himself with at a bar today!”
“Older Brother!” Leng Zhiyuan had a frown on her face as she interrupted him.
At this moment, Zhou Yao stood up and had a look at the two people in front of him, before he smiled and said, “You two siblings can slowly chat with one another. I still have something going on. I will be leaving …”
He had yet to finish speaking. Slap! Leng Zhiyuan stretched her hand out directly to give him a slap.
That beautiful girl let out a scream. She quickly stepped forward to hold Zhou Yao’s elbow as she said, “Older Brother Zhou, are you okay. Does it hurt?” As she spoke, she was angry as she glared over at Leng Zhiyuan and said, “Who are you? You actually dared to hit my Older Brother Zhou. Do you know who we are? You dare to hit us, and I just need to make one phone call and will send all of you into the police station…”
The girl still wanted to continue speaking, and Leng Zhiyuan glanced at her. She moved her red lips and spat out a few words. “Get lost! If you continue to speak, I can guarantee that you will not even have a chance to get lost!”
