Chapter 148: And Their Rift Widens (2)
Although he was not sure if this Song Xing was the one whom he was looking for, he had to bring up the nicknames they used on each other when they were young in order to stop her from running away. If this were her, she would definitely recall their encounter.
But he did not know that Mu Huan had already switched off the phone, then removed and thrown away the SIM card. She was afraid that Long Feiting might try to locate her by tracing her number next.
It was a good thing that she always used a double-SIM-card phone.
Not only did she separate her business line from her personal one, but she also did not register it with her real ID.
When the boy did not receive a reply from her, he made one last desperate call, only to hear an automated message informing him that he was not successful in getting through.
He was so upset that he smashed the phone down. Then, upon realizing that the girl would probably change into another disguise, he immediately ordered, “Gather all the girls on the street!”
He was pretty sure that she was still around. He would examine them one by one if needed!
In order to capture Mu Huan today, he had brought many men along.
The bodyguards on the street jumped into action when they received his order.
The girls who were gathered were scared stiff.
When she saw what he was trying to do, she feigned a look of terror as she tugged at the sleeve of a boy next to her. “Kind sir, can you please call the police? These people are aiming for the girls and they don’t look kind. I’m so scared!”
The boy was totally smitten with this sweet, young thing, and she was the decisive factor that prompted him to make a swift police report.
After calling the police, he wanted to turn and rea.s.sure the girl that he would be her able protector, but she was gone by then.
She knew that Long Feiting would barricade all the exits. Hence, she went to find a hidden spot, climbed up, and escaped over a wall instead.
When the boy had gathered most of the girls and was checking through their ident.i.ties, the police siren was heard.
Although he came from an influential background, a disturbance on this scale was still not permitted. The patrol officer demanded that he release all the girls and slapped a verbal correction order on him.
At this time, Mu Huan was already seated at a beverage stall inside a building on the third level across the school. From here, she had a bird’s eye view of the commercial street. When she saw the boy being forced to release the girls and receiving a reprimand from the police, she hooked her lips into a victorious grin.
You deserve it!
You want to catch me? I won’t be able to earn a living in this line if I can be busted so easily!
As a homegrown local in this city and a part-time city scout, she was most familiar with this place. Even if she could not win in a fistfight, there was no way she would be caught red-handed!
After going through such ma.s.sive efforts, not only did the boy fail to catch the person he wanted, he was given a stern verbal warning as well. This made him terribly upset.
He had never been so defeated before!
That girl had better turn out to be the Song Xing whom he was looking for or she would get it from him!
This was how the rift widened between the two of them!
But still, fate liked to play tricks with this couple. Just as Mu Huan had finished her chilled drink and was walking back to school, Long Feiting was doing likewise.
And right at this time, just when the two of them were heading in the same direction, one of her cla.s.smates caught sight of her and gleefully called out to her, “Mu Huan!”
Because of Gu Chenyi, the boy could also remember this name as the one belonging to the girl who audaciously aggravated the former. Thus, when he heard her name, he instinctively looked over to where the girl was.
When he saw her looking so c.o.c.ky with her shades on despite the night falling, it only made his foul mood even worse.
Finding her to be an eyesore, he strode over to where she was.
