“Ugh, this is so annoying! I finally found a job, and now you’ve messed it up.” After her rabbit coat was taken off, the cream-colored shirt underneath Meng Lu's looked as if it had been soaked in sweat. The once vibrant appearance now seemed somewhat frail and sickly.
She curled up weakly on the sofa, seemingly pouting in dissatisfaction. However, for some reason, despite her state, there was still a hint of a smile on her face.
“How did you even get this job? It wasn’t you who sought it out, was it?” Yang Xiaoyou said after handing her a glass of water, sounding somewhat helpless.
He could be fierce with others outside, but he couldn’t bear to be harsh with Meng Lu.
“It was introduced by a classmate. We were planning to have our graduation reunion here, and now with you messing things up, I don’t even know how to explain it to her.” After pouting in frustration, Qi Meng Lu frowned, looking troubled.
“A classmate? Which one? A friend you’re close with?” Yang Xiaoyou continued to inquire, not yet certain about his thoughts regarding the matter of the heart.
“She’s not bad at all. We usually eat together and stuff. Hmph! She’s quite popular and a real beauty. Her family is well-off too, and she has great taste in fashion.” She casually mentioned this at first but seemed to worry about being misunderstood, so she added an extra comment.
However, Yang Xiaoyou didn’t notice the change in her tone; he only pondered over what she said. After hearing just a few words more, he began to understand that this matter was likely intentional on the part of her classmate.
Meng Lu might be somewhat oblivious to her own charm, but Yang Xiaoyou completely understood that at the Royal Academy of Basic Studies, she and Feng Lin were the two brightest stars.
That so-called popular classmate had likely always been overshadowed by Meng Lu’s brilliance. Given her decent background and love for fashion, it seemed she valued her own beauty quite highly as well.
Because of this, there was sufficient motive for her to secretly trip Meng Lu up in such matters.
Moreover, due to Meng Lu’s innocence, she wouldn’t even think along those lines. On the surface, it could easily be blamed on Meng Lu not doing well enough. Or perhaps she would feel grateful for the effort made to resolve the situation.
Having such a person around Meng Lu made Yang Xiaoyou extremely dissatisfied.
Although he understood that Meng Lu had her own life and social circle and that he couldn’t use his concern for her as an excuse to control everything—constantly clearing obstacles from her path might make her feel lonely instead—he also knew that it would be selfish to do so just to ease his own mind.
At the same time, Yang Xiaoyou would not allow anyone to harm her.
That so-called friend had clearly crossed the line and needed to be punished—not too severely but enough for them to understand what should not be done and who should not be provoked!
Directly confronting that so-called ‘friend’ would make Meng Lu realize what was happening; it might leave her feeling disappointed or sad. However, dealing with all the accomplices first would help clarify things for them. If they remained stubborn after that—well...
When it came to handling matters concerning those closest to him, Yang Xiaoyou’s considerations far exceeded those during missions with Hive Security Company. He often thought more about their emotions; if someone provoked Hive Security Company in business matters, it would be straightforward—just like last time when they dealt with an organization head-on without hesitation.
However, when it came to the matter concerning Meng Lu, it couldn't be approached too directly.
Feng Lin, who was almost oblivious to the world, was completely confused beside her. She simply extended her soft paw to pat the somewhat exhausted Meng Lu in a gesture of comfort.
At that moment, a commotion suddenly erupted outside.
"What?! Is that the effeminate fellow of yours? He showed up here? He even started hitting people? And you all let him fool you?" In the hall, the chubby man who had initially appeared lifeless and needed support was now unusually agitated.
He had been awakened by the security guards who noticed something was off. They had offered to take him to the hospital, but at that moment, he just wanted a quiet place to rest for a while.
However, he never expected to encounter such a situation upon arriving at this KV.
At first, he didn't bother to care about anything, but upon hearing the description from his waiter, he realized that it was that fellow he would recognize even if turned to ashes who had caused this uproar!
Hearing the 'threatening' words relayed back to him, Fu Jincai's face revealed a disdainful sneer.
Others might not know the fellow's background and were too intimidated to act, but he certainly understood.
Riding a shabby bicycle and mingling with that Pennyless Viscount—how good could his circumstances possibly be?
Now he had directly provoked this Barbara KV; truly reckless!
After the Yongxing Society disbanded, the current boss behind Barbara was a prominent figure in the underworld. Even billionaires wouldn't want to offend him.
Now that he heard that this scoundrel was causing trouble here, every pore on his body felt relaxed. In this sweltering summer heat, it was as refreshing as having ice cream.
Finally, it was in his hands! Finally, he had caught an opportunity!
If he were to find someone and take action himself, it might leave behind evidence. He needed to find a way to make the other party back down just like before, leaving them with nothing to say!
This was undoubtedly the most wonderful opportunity—causing trouble on Fan Ye's territory while pretending to be an important figure fooling them.
If this group of troublemakers isn't dealt with harshly, their reputation on the streets will surely suffer.
All he needed to do was fan the flames a bit, stir the pot, and expose the other party. The consequences awaiting them would be quite tragic!
He chuckled to himself; wasn't that fellow just a delicate-looking one? In a place like this, there were plenty who had a taste for something special. On the surface, he seemed unharmed, but he could inflict a lifelong psychological scar! The dual torment of both body and mind!
Thinking of this made him feel as if he had shed dozens of pounds, and he walked with a lightness in his step, breaking free from the two people supporting him, heading towards the security captain below.
"Bang!" The door to the private room where Yang Xiaoyou was located was kicked open forcefully once more.
The gloomy-faced Eagle Hook Nose Security Captain entered with a group of security personnel.
Although they were all dressed in security uniforms, these fellows looked somewhat shady. Initially, they didn't recognize Meng Lu and her companions because they were wearing masks, but upon seeing two such stunning beauties appear here, everyone was taken aback in awe.
A few of them even had lewd and inappropriate expressions on their faces.
"Those two are students from the Royal Academy of Basic Studies; you all better watch yourselves." The security captain, aware of what kind of people his subordinates were, warned them with a stern face.
While they might not be particularly important individuals, any serious incident occurring here would be quite troublesome. The storm had just passed; it was still necessary to keep a low profile.
However, that other boy absolutely could not be let go!
"It seems your boss isn't coming after all?" After stroking his chin and observing the aggressive group, Yang Xiaoyou gradually began to smile.
Yet that refreshing smile inexplicably sent a chill down everyone's spine.
"Hmph! When would your boss have time to meet you?! At first, you almost fooled me; now you're still pretending?!" The Eagle Hook Nose Captain felt a tightness in his chest at first but relaxed when he recalled what his old client had said.
What a farce! If he hadn't been informed beforehand, he might have actually been fooled. If word got out that Fan Ye's men were intimidated by a loser like him, where would they put their faces?
In this line of work, wasn't it all about saving face?
"Oh, it seems you know me quite well; then I won't pretend anymore." After gently patting the seemingly nervous girl on the head to reassure her, Yang Xiaoyou slowly stood up, his fingers trembling slightly as they cracked with a series of popping sounds.
"Can't get it out?"
"If it can't come out, then let's just scrap everything below."
Just then, a sound of footsteps came from outside.
"What’s going on? Where's my friend?" A stylishly dressed girl, wearing revealing clothes, walked in.
Upon seeing Qi Menglu and Feng Lin inside, she seemed to let out a sigh of relief.
"Xiaxia," Qi Menglu said hesitantly upon recognizing the girl who had entered. If she wasn't mistaken, this should be the friend who introduced them.
"Wen Jie, we only allowed them to intern here because of you. However, their friend is giving us a hard time. You don’t need to worry about this; for your sake, we won’t make things difficult for your two friends, but that brat must stay." The Eagle Hook Nose Security Captain clearly recognized the trendy girl and spoke in an uncompromising tone.
Hearing this, the girl’s expression changed slightly. She hadn’t expected things to escalate so quickly. Indeed, this group was a double-edged sword; one never knew when they might get hurt themselves.
