After Liu Si Yu calmed down. “Get up first.” Zhao Yu requested Huo Xiao Xi to stand up first.
“Let’s find a quiet place to talk…”
Liu Si Yu quickly interjected, “1 want to come too!”
Soon, they made their way through the crowd to a secluded spot within the school grounds.
“Si Yu, wait here for a moment. 1 have something to discuss with her.”
To Liu Si Yu’s surprise, upon reaching the spot, Zhao Yu asked her to stay back. She pouted, unhappy, “You said you had no connection with her, didn’t you?” “There’s nothing between us, don’t you trust me?”
“We’re just discussing something. It’ll be quick.”
Liu Si Yu realized she might have overreacted, especially since Huo Xiao Xi didn’t seem to show any love reaction when Zhao Yu held her.
Perhaps their relationship wasn’t what she had imagined.
With this realization, Liu Si Yu felt relieved but still reminded him, “Just don’t go too far away.”
“Okay.”
Zhao Yu nodded and moved about ten meters away with Huo Xiao Xi.
“Zhao Yu, please, spare my brother!”
Huo Xiao Xi pleaded once more.
Zhao Yu, with a calm expression, replied, “Do you know that Huo Da Hai wants to kill me?”
“It’s a misunderstanding. I told him you bullied me, He didn’t actually want to kill you…” Huo Xiao Xi hadn’t expected that in just a night, her brother would be captured by Zhao Yu.
She hadn’t antic.i.p.ated that Zhao Yu would be under the protection of the Huang family.
“So, you’re saying because of you that Huo Da Hai came after me?”
“I asked him to teach you a lesson. If there’s any retribution, let it be on me…” “Come back here tonight at nine. Alone. Understood?”
This place has less people pa.s.s through during the day and even lesser at night. It was evident what Zhao Yu might intend by asking her to come at that hour. However, she couldn’t refuse. Her brother’s safety was in Zhao Yu’s hands. Moreover, she hadn’t expected her seemingly invincible brother to fall into Zhao Yu’s trap.
“I understand,” she whispered.
“Good. Go home now. Don’t mention our agreement to anyone.”
After sending Huo Xiao Xi on her way, Zhao Yu took Liu Si Yu out for a meal before leaving the school.
When they returned to the stronghold, Huo Da Hai rushed over.
“Brother Zhao Yu, more than ten bosses came over this morning to look for you about investment and acquisition…”
“Where are they?”
“They’re still waiting in the office…”
Zhao Yu nodded and asked Huo Da Hai an unrelated question.
“Huo Da Hai, have you heard about my situation?”
“I have!”
After a day’s time to process, he had come to understand why Zhao Yu was so wealthy and why he had the protection of the Huang family.
When he learned that Zhao Yu had set up a trap, using Miss Su of the Su family to liquidate ten million from the Huang family.
Huo Da Hai was utterly shocked, feeling that Zhao Yu was audaciously bold.
What even surprised him was the Huang family had to even a.s.signed people to protect him from the first day till the end of this month.
At the same time, he also heard about the incident in the black market where Zhao Yu had killed two of Huang’s guards right in front of their peers.
Yet, despite this, they continued to protect him.
From these rumors, Zhao Yu appeared to be even more unpredictable than Huo Da Hai had imagined. It was just unfortunate that Zhao Yu only had a month left to live.
“Why do you think 1 dealt with the Huang family for that ten million?” Zhao Yu questioned.
“Wasn’t it for a woman?”
“Do 1 look like that to you?” Zhao Yu retorted.
Huo Da Hai wasn’t very familiar with Zhao Yu. Most of the information he had was based on rumors, like Zhao Yu being the most pa.s.sionate man in Bing City and how he had jumped into a lake for love.
“In these chaotic times, a man’s ambitions should span far and wide. How can he be trapped by emotions?”
This…
Huo Da Hai was wondering could the rumors about Zhao Yu be false?
Many people had witnessed Zhao Yu leap into the lake. If it wasn’t for love, was it to cultivate a public image?
Huo Da Hai was recalling the night when the bet was established.
Could it be that Zhao Yu deliberately set everything up to bait Huang Zi Long?
It seemed impossible.
Yet, Zhao Yu’s demeanor indicated this might just be the truth.
“Do you know why I’m telling you all this?”
“I… I don’t.”
Huo Da Hai shook his head.
H H
“I’ve taken a liking to you…”
Huo Da Hai stiffened, feeling an odd tightening sensation, instinctively taking a step back.
Zhao Yu’s mouth twitched, realizing he had not made himself clear. He quickly added, “Don’t get the wrong idea. I admire your sense of loyalty.”
Huo Da Hai, a bit startled, blurted, “Brother Zhao Yu, I have hemorrhoids…”
“Get lost!”
“I told you, I admire your loyalty, and I want you to work for me!”
“Oh, 1 see now. is that so? Hahahaha!”
Huo Da Hai breathed a sigh of relief. However, he decided that he would lock his doors and windows tightly when sleeping every night..
