Chapter 367: Lu Jingye Calling at 11 p.m
“What if I refuse to leave?” Zi Yi casually asked and her fingers were prepared to move.
The man standing behind her seemed to have guessed her intention and threatened, “If you dare to move, I’ll kill you immediately.”
Following that were sounds of the safety being released.
Zi Yi clicked her tongue. It was merely an antique gun and it was yet capable of causing her any threat.
However, she sensed another strong aura approaching and remained motionless.
“Walk.”
The man behind her urged her again.
Just then, a mocking voice of an elegant young man could be heard from the vicinity. “What use is there in bullying a young lady?”
Zi Yi felt the breathing of the man tighten.
She turned to look at the man standing in front of the light. The first thing she noticed was the violin he was carrying on his back and she was slightly surprised.
The man behind her said to the masked man as he released a powerful killing aura, “I’d advise you to mind your own business.”
“What if I insist on interfering?”
“Then I’ll kill her.”
His words caused the masked man to remain silent for two seconds, before he casually said, “Then kill her.”
He then walked towards the two of them. His footsteps did not appear as if he was facing a gangster. Instead, it seemed as if he was walking on the red carpet of an event.
Zi Yi clicked her tongue and lowered her body at the same time the man had moved. She then quickly threw a circular ball towards the man standing behind her.
The ball formed a barrier between them and the man subconsciously shot in her direction.
Seeing that the bullet was about to hit Zi Yi, the masked man strode over and attacked the man.
The two of them instantly got into a fight.
Zi Yi stood there and looked at the barrier blocking the bullet. She opened her palm and the ball returned to her hand while the bullet fell to the ground.
Only then did she look at the two who were in a fierce fight.
The masked man’s skills were obviously better. Soon, the other man noticed this and decided to escape as he could not win.
Zi Yi narrowed her eyes and looked at his departing back view. She played around with the circular ball in her lands with her eyes lowered as she thought about the masked man’s ident.i.ty.
Just then, the masked man used his same elegant voice and spoke up. “When you discover someone following you in the future, it’s best that you avoid coming to secluded places like this. Perhaps people who you are unable to deal with are hidden in the dark.”
Zi Yi looked up at him and said affirmatively, “You saw that someone was following us.”
The man pressed his lips together tightly and did not answer. Instead. He turned around to leave.
She looked at his back view and said with a smirk, “For you to be so kind, you definitely have some hidden intentions. Why don’t you just say it out now?”
The masked man suddenly appeared to help and was about to leave without asking for anything. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that he had deliberately done this.
The masked man did not bother to turn around as he said, “Just think of it that I’m suddenly being kind.”
Having said that, he walked towards a dark corner and his figure soon disappeared.
Zi Yi stood rooted to the spot and looked in that direction. She then took out two circular b.a.l.l.s and threw them into the air.
The b.a.l.l.s transformed into mechanical dragonflies and flew in two different directions.
After she was done with that, she turned around to look at the several figures who were still rolling on the ground and wailing in pain.
When they noticed her gaze, their bodies trembled.
Zi Yi walked over and looked at them with an indifferent expression. “Who sent you here?”
She took out a circular ball after having said that.
When they saw the circular ball appearing once again, they felt their wounds hurting even more. One of them trembled as he said, “I.. It’s… Miss Feiya.”
“Who’s that?”
“Miss Feiya of the Andelu Family.”
Zi Yi threw a ball towards them after he said that.
They did not expect Zi Yi to go back on her words. First, they widened their eyes in horror, and following that, they directly lost consciousness due to fright.
Zi Yi revealed a crafty grin. She merely wanted to scare them and she didn’t expect them to be such wimps.
In the end, she put away the circular ball in her hand and headed to a place where she could flag down a car.
By the time she returned to Lu Jingye’s villa, Dou Xiangling and Housekeeper Ye were standing in the courtyard as they anxiously waited for her return.
The moment they saw her alighting from the cab, they greeted her at the same time.
“Yiyi, you’re finally back.”
“Miss Zi, are you alright?”
Zi Yi walked in through the iron gates and said, “I’m fine.”
She then added, “It took me some time to flag a cab.”
Dou Xiangling breathed out a sigh of relief.
The three of them headed towards the interior of the villa.
It was already 9 p.m at night and after they came in, Zi Yi planned to investigate more about the Andelu family and so, she said, “Cousin, Housekeeper Ye, I’ll go in and rest first.”
Dou Xiangling was also a little tired. “I’ll go up with you.”
Housekeeper Ye then stood there and informed them. “Ladies, the kitchen has prepared some desserts and I’ll get the helpers to prepare some soothing tea and send them up shortly.”
Zi Yi and Dou Xiangling were okay with that.
While they headed upstairs, Zi Yi asked, “Cousin, did you encounter anyone on your way back?”
“I didn’t.” Dou Xiangling then recounted the situation. “There were many masked people in the festooned car. Your robot had directly revealed itself and carried me away.”
Everyone’s focus was on the festooned car and how would they have the spare energy to notice a robot mixed in the crowd?
Zi Yi nodded her head.
Dou Xiangling had also asked,” Yiyi, what about you?”
“After I got rid of those people following behind him, I headed towards somewhere with a smaller crowd.
“That’s good.”
Zi Yi returned to the master bedroom and took out her laptop as she quickly did a search, while seated on the sofa.
She soon managed to investigate the Angelu Family upside down and carefully checked the woman named Miss Feiya.
Feiya was a young lady of Country X’s Andelu Group. She was a strong woman and had great business skills. However, the family treated females unfairly and felt that she should not take over an important position in the group as she would ultimately get married to another. Feiya used two years to let them witness her capabilities.
After a group of people had been cleaned up by her, her family joined forces to deal with her. As a result of her resistance, she had to give birth to a boy for the Andelu Family and sign an agreement to pa.s.s everything under her to the boy.
Therefore, Feiya had chosen Meng He.
It just so happened that Meng He was an ambitious person and wanted to go higher in the Painting and Calligraphy circle. Thus, they hit off well with each other.
However, people from the Andelu Family felt that Meng He was not worthy of her and she planned to make him a professor at N’s School of Fine Arts.
In order to be employed as a professor, he first had to have impressive achievements. Therefore, the International Painting and Calligraphy Compet.i.tion was part of their plans.
After she had done a thorough investigation, Zi Yi coldly snorted, “No matter what you plan to do, now that you’re provoked me and my cousin, just wait to regret your actions!”
Zi Yi continued to check on the other man and the masked man.
Unknowingly, it was already 11 p.m and her phone placed beside her suddenly rang.
Zi Yi took her phone and checked the caller ID. The corner of her lips curled up when she saw who the caller was.
She swiped to answer and joyfully called out, “Ah Jing.”
Lu Jingye’s calm and restrained voice sounded. “Yiyi, it’s time to sleep.”
The smile on Zi Yi’s face deepened and she deliberately said, “I’m already asleep.”
The man on the other side of the phone remained silent, obviously not trusting what she said.
