After Su Rou got into the taxi, she let out a long sigh. She gently bit her finger. Why did Han Yiyan come here? What was he up to? Did he come for that transgender person? But... didn't Brother Ze say that the transgender person had been deported?
What on earth brought Han Yiyan here?
"Hey, classmate, you haven't told me where you're going!" The taxi driver said. Su Rou just kept urging him to drive faster but didn't say where she wanted to go.
"Oh, to Shengshi."
The driver was slightly surprised. "Shengshi! Only talented people can work there."
"Yeah."
Su Rou responded absent - mindedly. Her mind was occupied by thoughts of Han Yiyan. What on earth was his purpose? Seeing that she wasn't in the mood to chat, the driver kept quiet and focused on driving. The journey wasn't long, and soon the driver pulled up. "Classmate, we're here."
Su Rou paid the fare and got out of the taxi. She walked straight in. The receptionists knew Su Rou. When they saw her coming, they just gave her a smile and didn't stop her.
Su Rou took the president's private elevator upstairs. Lian Shuang happened to be passing by the elevator. When she saw Su Rou coming out, she was startled. After realizing it was Su Rou, she smiled. "Miss Su, aren't you supposed to be in class?"
"Yeah."
"Um..." Lian Shuang frowned. Her expression was so strange!
Su Rou walked into Su Yuze's office. "Brother Ze."
When Su Yuze saw her come in, he was a bit surprised at first, but then he waved her over. "What's up?"
"I saw Han Yiyan."
"Him?" Su Yuze held Su Rou's little hand. "He went to your school?"
"Yeah." Su Rou said curiously. "How did he know?" Could he have investigated her?
Su Yuze ruffled her hair, thought for a moment, and comforted her. "Don't worry."
Su Rou wasn't really worried. She just found it strange. Besides, what could Han Yiyan want from her? Unless... he was using her to threaten Su Yuze! "Brother Ze, do you think he came because of that transgender person?"
"It's not impossible." That transgender person was probably pretty much useless by now.
"But didn't you say he left?"
"..." Su Yuze paused for a moment. Suddenly, he pulled Su Rou into his arms. "Let's not talk about this for now. Have you eaten?"
Caught off - guard, Su Rou was pulled into his arms and sat on his lap. One of her hands instinctively wrapped around his neck. "I've eaten."
"Then, accompany me to eat. I haven't eaten yet."
"..." It was already past twelve. "Why haven't you eaten yet?" Su Rou checked the time and complained. "I'll order something for you."
"Okay." Su Yuze pulled her head closer and kissed her. "You're becoming more and more virtuous, little Rou."
Su Rou rolled her eyes at him. While making a phone call, she said, "What about Han Yiyan? Could he be here for you?" Ever since she knew that Han Yiyan was involved in the underworld, Su Rou had been worried, afraid that something might happen to Su Yuze.
"Trust me." Su Yuze said soothingly.
...
Han Yiyan returned to the hotel where he was staying at night. The woman inside was looking at him warily. As soon as she saw him come in, she couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing? We were just having fun. Why won't you let me go?"
She had woken up this morning planning to ask Han Yiyan for money and then leave. After all, last night was just a deal. But unexpectedly, the man was gone. Did he think he could just have his way and not pay? There was no such good thing!
So she sat in the room and waited. But after waiting for several hours and not seeing the man come back, she gradually got impatient. She decided to leave. Fine, she'd just consider it a freebie. Anyway, she was leaving!
But when she tried to leave, two black - suited bodyguards wearing sunglasses appeared at the door and blocked her way. They said something like "Big Brother won't let you go out." Not let her go out? By what right? She wasn't some captive he'd abducted.
But no matter how much she explained, the two bodyguards just wouldn't let her out. Only then did she realize that she might have gotten involved with a really tough guy. If that was the case, what should she do? Would she be killed?
In the end, having no other choice, she could only wait nervously.
Han Yiyan glanced at her. The woman was quite pretty after taking off her makeup, but her skin didn't seem as good. "You're awake."
"What's your purpose? Why are you keeping me here?" The woman panicked and shouted. Her expression showed her fear and distorted face.
"Tsk tsk..." Han Yiyan walked over to the wine cabinet and poured himself a glass of red wine. "Don't be so excited. You're not looking pretty." Really, her panicked look was so ugly. Unconsciously, the soft and delicate face of Su Rou popped into his mind. They were both girls, so why wasn't Su Rou so easily flustered?
The woman didn't care about her looks at the moment. She was in danger. How could she care about that? "Stop bullshitting with me! Let me go now!"
Han Yiyan sighed. "I'm not going to hurt you."
"Then why are you keeping me here?" The woman of course didn't believe him. If he didn't want to hurt her, why was he keeping her and not letting her go? "I don't want your money. Just let me go... please, please!" She pleaded.
Speaking of money, Han Yiyan remembered. "Oh right, I haven't paid you yet."
"I don't want your money!" The woman quickly shook her head.
"How about we make a deal?" Han Yiyan sipped his red wine leisurely, then walked up to the woman. "You do something for me, and I'll give you a lot more money."
The woman was a bit tempted when she heard "a lot more money", but... "You're not going to ask me to do something like murder or arson, are you?"
"Of course not!" Han Yiyan burst out laughing. "Do I look like that kind of person?"
"Then... what do you want me to do?" The woman swallowed hard and asked fearfully.
"I've investigated your background. Your name is Deng Shuiying, and you're a junior majoring in finance at T University, right?" Han Yiyan said calmly.
"How did you...?" Oh no, had she really messed with someone she shouldn't have? "What do you want?"
Han Yiyan saw her legs trembling. There was a hint of reluctance in his expression, but his words were cruel. "It's actually very easy for you. All you have to do is get close to a girl named Su Rou. Once it's done, I'll give you a large sum of money. Then you won't have to work as a bar girl anymore. But if you don't agree... I won't force you, of course. It's just that your family might be very sad."
