As Zhou Jiajia filled out the form, Xiao Qing helped Zhou Jiajia handle the formalities of the laboratory card.
After completing the formalities, Xiao Qing enthusiastically took Zhou Jiajia to visit the laboratory.
“Sister Xiao Qing, I didn’t expect our school’s lab to be so advanced…” Zhou Jiajia looked at the equipment in the lab.
” Hehe , if you like it, you can come over at any time.” Xiao Qing said with a smile.
“Right… Sister Xiao Qing, I really might want to borrow the equipment here…” Zhou Jiajia suddenly thought of the phone that Yang Ming gave her to decrypt. The computers and equipment in her dorm room and home could not meet the decryption’s requirements. It would be too troublesome to re-purchase it. Never mind whether some military-grade things could be bought. Even if she could buy it, the approval procedures were probably quite cumbersome.
However, there was no such restriction in the laboratory of the university. It was easier to approve the equipment purchased by the laboratory. After all, it was for the basis of research.
“There is no problem. I will talk to the teacher in the lab in a while. You can come directly.” Xiao Qing readily agreed.
” En , if I don’t understand anything, I will ask you.” Zhou Jiajia saw that Xiao Qing agreed, and she was pleased.
After Jing Xiaolu returned to the dormitory, she couldn’t help but be excited and related her previous experience to Ge Xinyao. “Sister Xinyao, you tell me. There is nothing wrong with what I did, right?”
“You.” Ge Xinyao listened to Jing Xiaolu’s words and was somewhat dumbfounded, but she couldn’t have set up this accidental encounter. Jing Xiaolu didn’t deliberately do it, so she couldn’t pick out anything wrong. However, Ge Xinyao was just somewhat worried. “You don’t have to worry about Lin Zhiyun; she is a good girl to get along with. However, Chen Mengyan is very smart. You should never let her find out any clues! If she knows that you are in contact with them for a purpose, then the matter between you and Yang Ming will be even more difficult!”
“I know. You can rest assured. Sister Xinyao, I am not stupid. How can I let her notice the clues?!” Jing Xiaolu said, “Moreover, Yang Ming and I really have nothing going on now. It’s not too late to take preventive action after there is really something.”
“You… I really don’t know what to say about you.” Ge Xinyao shook her head. “I always felt that you are aiming a little too high; your expectations are too high. The women around Yang Ming are very unique, and they have their own strengths. Moreover, each of them has an unusual story with Yang Ming. But you…”
“How is it? Sister Xinyao, am I that bad?” Jing Xiaolu asked, dissatisfied.
“That’s not it, but I heard Bi Hai say that Yang Ming’s girlfriends are all virgins. Look at your past self. You have had so many partners before. Yang Ming must have a certain opinion of you…” Ge Xinyao explained.
“Sister Xinyao, you still don’t understand me… I indeed had a few partners, but I won’t be stupid enough to have sex with them. I am also a virgin…” As Jing Xiaolu spoke until here, she was still a little proud. “At that time, when I was in the bar, I already confessed to Yang Ming. He now knows that I am a virgin…”
Ge Xinyao looked at Jing Xiaolu and said helplessly, “Well, even so, I don’t think it is hopeful. It’s not that I want to discourage you. I think it’s already good enough for you to find a good boy who is good to you…”
“Sister Xinyao, what do you mean? Didn’t you find Bi Hai to be your boyfriend because of your vanity? If it weren’t for Brother Yang, maybe that kid, Bi Hai, would have already dumped you!” Jing Xiaolu said briefly.
Whatever Jing Xiaolu said was indeed true. Bi Hai really wanted to get rid of Ge Xinyao for another one. Now, Bi Hai was also the security manager of a residential property; he was also considered as a small leader, and he earned a lot of money.
Just because Yang Ming opened his mouth, Bi Hai really couldn’t do anything to Jing Xiaolu. Moreover, Jing Xiaolu specialized in getting promotions through the relationship with the boss’ wife, and her relationship with Lin Zhiyun was also good. Bi Hai really did not dare not break up with her. Once they broke up, Yang Ming may dismiss him.
Therefore, Ge Xinyao thought of herself and thought about Jing Xiaolu. She felt that Jing Xiaolu’s pursuit was correct; she could only give her blessing to Jing Xiaolu. She hoped Jing Xiaolu could present her specialty well in front of Yang Ming.
…
When Tian Long received a call from Tian Donghua, he was very cautious while being surprised. Only after asking Tian Donghua again and again whether Yang Ming was with him or not, did Tian Long tell Tian Donghua where he was.
After all, his plan had been exposed. Tian Long was not sure whether Yang Ming would bring people to trouble him. Although when Yang Ming was in Donghai territory, the strong dragon cannot repress a snake in its territory 1 [1]. Tian Long was afraid that Yang Ming would not play by the rules and report to the police to solve the problem.
Logically, the things between the gangs were resolved by the gangs themselves. After one party suffered losses, they would not report to the police. However, Yang Ming was different. Yang Ming’s identity was a college student. Moreover, Song Jiang’s gang couldn’t be called a gang now; it has turned into a serious business. Therefore, Tian Long was really afraid that Yang Ming would bring the police to trouble him. In that case, once the police intervened, it would be much harder for him to make a move on Yang Ming. Once something happened to Yang Ming, the first suspect would be Tian Long.
In a secret villa, Tian Donghua saw his father. Tian Donghua had never been to this villa. Tian Donghua did not expect that his father had so many properties outside.
“Donghua, you’re here?” Tian Long sat on the sofa in the living room. His face was cold, making it difficult to read his original thoughts.
“Dad…” When Tian Donghua called out the word “dad,” he felt somewhat bitter. He indeed had a dilemma now; one was family while the other was a friend. However, choosing family was contrary to morality. After all, his father first made the mistake. If Tian Donghua chose him, it was not right. Therefore, Tian Donghua had made his own choice. “Dad, why did you lie to me?”
“Donghua, you are still young!” Tian Long pointed to the opposite sofa, indicating Tian Donghua to sit down and said, “You don’t understand my difficulties. You know, if I can’t catch Yang Ming this time, what would the behind-the-scenes boss do to me?”
“Dad, just pull back…” Tian Donghua finally made up his mind. He stood up, looked at his father, and said, “Dad, it’s not too late to stop now!”
“Pull back?” Tian Long looked at Tian Donghua and suddenly laughed. “How can I still pull back now? I’ve already reached this stage. How do you want me to stop now?”
“Let the Sun Family people go… Take the initiative to admit your mistakes, then treat this as though it never happened before…” Tian Donghua said with some excitement.
“Let them go? How will I explain to the behind-the-scenes boss?” Tian Long said, “Donghua, you know too little! The behind-the-scenes boss is not an average person. If I don’t do it halfway through, he will not let me go!”
“Didn’t he just give you money? Aren’t you now in control of the Sun Family’s company now? Just compensate the money to him. If worst comes to worst, just give him more. When the Sun Family is released, you explain the situation to them. I believe that they are not unreasonable people; they should be able to understand!” said Tian Donghua.
“Return the money to the mysterious boss?” Tian Long sneered, “The behind-the-scenes boss is not short of money. He only lacks the person who can do things for him! Do you think if I compensate the money to him, he will let me go?”
“Dad, don’t be stupid; don’t be obsessed!” Tian Donghua said loudly, “If the behind-the-scenes boss is really so powerful, then he can catch Yang Ming completely by himself. Why would he need you? Wake up! He’s powerful, my *ss!”
“…” Tian Long listened to Tian Donghua’s words and was suddenly silent. Indeed, if the behind-the-scenes boss is really so powerful, why would he use me to catch Yang Ming? Why doesn’t he do it himself?
Seeing that Tian Long was a bit swayed, Tian Donghua quickly continued, “Dad, you think about it; this is definitely a scam. The other party wants to use you to achieve ulterior motives!”
Just when Tian Long was about to be swayed, he suddenly remembered one thing! In his gang, when the dissidents were being cleared away, the behind-the-scenes boss sent a mysterious person to help him!
The mysterious man’s skill was outstanding. In his own gang, King Kong Legs Old Qian, who was once one of the Four Protectors, was not his opponent! Old Qian was one of Sun Hongjun’s loyalists. However, because of his high martial arts skills and his transcendental status in the gang, Old Qian had always been a big worry to Tian Long, but the first master in the gang had died in the hands of the mysterious man! This gave Tian Long a new understanding of the strength of the behind-the-scenes boss!
Thinking of this, Tian Long suddenly burst into a cold sweat. His face changed. “You don’t understand the behind-the-scenes boss; it’s normal not to know his strength! His strength is not a lie!”
“Then why didn’t he go to catch Yang Ming himself? Instead, he wants to use you?” Tian Donghua asked.
“There may be some unavoidable reason, but the strength of the boss is not what you can imagine!” Tian Long denied. “Donghua, you should not participate in this matter!”
“Dad, are you obsessed?” Tian Donghua was anxious. “Where is his strength? Why can’t you talk about it?”
“The strength of the behind-the-scenes boss… Okay!” Tian Long saw that Tian Donghua insisted on knowing, and there was no other way, so he could only say, “King Kong Legs Old Qian in the gang, you know him, right?”
“Uncle Qian? Didn’t he… by the enemy” As Tian Donghua spoke until here, he suddenly thought of something faintly. King Kong Legs Old Qian is a person who is loyal to Sun Hongjun. Is his accident related to Father?
“No, he was not killed by the enemy, but by the person sent by the behind-the-scenes boss.” Tian Long said, “Even King Kong Legs Old Qian can easily be killed. You say how powerful is the behind-the-scenes boss?”
Tian Donghua listened to his father’s words and frowned. He knew about Uncle Qian’s Kung Fu. When he was young, he was a mixed martial arts champion in the province. He was famous for his pair of King Kong Legs; he once broke the steel bar with a kick! How terrifying was his strength?!
However, Tian Donghua just couldn’t understand why the behind-the-scenes boss wanted to deal with Yang Ming… Right . Tian Donghua remembered what Yang Ming had said to himself. C ould this be an excuse Father used? The behind-the-scenes boss simply did not want to deal with Yang Ming, but it is Father, who is afraid that the remnants of the Sun Family will be detrimental to his career, and who wants to capture Yang Ming?
When Tian Donghua first came to the villa, he had forgotten about this because his father’s words had come one after another. At this time, he suddenly remembered it and felt that it was more and more likely!
Otherwise, the behind-the-scenes boss is so powerful; even King Kong Legs Old Qian could be killed, not to mention Yang Ming? Moreover, Yang Ming is a college student, and he is in Song Jiang which is so far away from Donghai. Why would the behind-the-scenes boss specifically target him? It just doesn’t seem logical!
Thinking of this, Tian Donghua asked, “Dad, I understand! In fact, the behind-the-scenes boss actually did not ask you to target Yang Ming, right? Is it because you are afraid that Yang Ming will cause you trouble, so you advocated his capture?! But you are afraid that I would disagree, so you fabricated such a story that the behind-the-scenes boss wants to deal with Yang Ming to deceive me. Is this the case?”
“What?!” Tian Long was a little agitated after listening to Tian Donghua’s words. “I am targeting Yang Ming? Why should I target him? Donghua, don’t simply guess!”
“I didn’t simply guess; what I said is the truth!” Tian Donghua said, “Yang Ming is the Sun Family’s son-in-law, Sun Jie’s boyfriend; you are afraid that he will cause trouble at this critical time! You are afraid that he will cause you trouble, so you must control him before dropping the matter!”
“Me? Control him? Are you mistaken? What trouble will he bring to me?” Tian Long forced a smile.
“Yes, although he is just a college student, he may report it to the police!” Tian Donghua said, “You are afraid that he would report to the police, so you used the excuse of talking to him about me, luring him out without him being aware of it.”
“How come you think so?” Tian Long listened to Tian Donghua’s words, and he was somewhat dumbfounded. He secretly captured the Sun Family without the awareness of others; not many people knew about this, and Yang Ming apparently did not know. Therefore, Tian Long did not even think that Yang Ming would find him for trouble on this matter. Moreover, Tian Long wanted to capture Yang Ming because of the behind-the-scenes boss’ request.
However, Tian Donghua’s statement also made him unable to argue. Indeed, concerning Yang Ming’s identity, if Tian Long captured Yang Ming, it seemed to be aiming against the Sun Family in the eyes of outsiders.
“Isn’t that the case?” Tian Donghua opposed Tian Long.
“Since you think so, I can’t do anything.” Tian Long sighed. “Donghua, don’t blame Dad. Before the end of this matter, you should obediently stay put.”
“What do you mean?” Tian Donghua was slightly shocked; his face changed.
“Someone take the Young Master to rest for a few days.” Tian Long shouted at a door next to him, and two macho men walked out from inside and stood at the left and right of Tian Donghua.
“What are you doing?” Tian Donghua asked subconsciously.
“Young Master, I am sorry.” After the two finished talking, they held Tian Donghua’s arm on his left and right, then they looked at Tian Long.
“Lock him up with the Sun Family, and let him stay in the luxury suite I stay in.” Tian Long thought for a moment and said faintly.
“Dad, you are also locking me up?” Tian Donghua looked at his father in anger. “Are you deranged until this point? Are you so obsessed that you don’t know what you are doing now is wrong?”
“Donghua, don’t blame me!” Tian Long was displeased after being told this by his son, but there was really no other way. “If I retreat now, I will not be able to mix in Donghai again in the future. I, Tian Long, have no choice but to continue on this path!”
Tian Donghua knew that it was useless to say anything else; his father would not listen. He could even lock Tian Donghua up, so that meant that he was already too obsessed.
Tian Donghua did not resist. At this time, resistance did not make any sense. He followed his father’s men to a black minivan outside the door, then he was taken away from here.
Yang Ming had been waiting for the news of Tian Donghua. He hoped that Tian Long could make the right choice. Sometimes, the opportunity is in front of you, but only once. Once you miss it, there will be no more.
At least, he knew that Sun Jie and Sun Hongjun were still safe, but they were under house arrest by Tian Long. Yang Ming was not worried.
Xu Peng saw that Yang Ming’s mood was not good, so he didn’t say anything more. He just stayed with him silently as he finished his lunch…
Yang Ming first called Chen Mengyan. He didn’t expect to have so many things happen on the first day he came back. First, it was the company’s business, then Tian Long and the Sun Family’s matters. In the end, he could not even go to school.
“Dear, what are you doing?” Yang Ming called Chen Mengyan.
Chen Mengyan was now awake, so she immediately recognized Yang Ming’s voice. Thinking back to the scene when she hung up the phone directly last night, she could not help but blush.
“Yang Ming, I am in the dormitory. Where are you?” Chen Mengyan pulled Lin Zhiyun’s hand and pointed to the phone.
Lin Zhiyun naturally knew that Yang Ming was calling. She sat next to Chen Mengyan, and her eyes paid attention to the movement there.
“I am outside, Ming Yang… Something happened to the company…” As Yang Ming finished talking, he immediately remembered that Chen Mengyan still didn’t know that he was the actual owner of Ming Yang Entertainment, so he said, “Two people absconded with the money. I just met your dad…”
Since Chen Fei had already seen Yang Ming in Ming Yang Entertainment, then Yang Ming did not need to hide anything from Chen Mengyan anymore, but now, it was not the time to talk about this. He could only tell her about Ming Yang Entertainment, at least after meeting up.
” Ah ! Is it serious?” Chen Mengyan was surprised. She didn’t know which Ming Yang company Yang Ming was talking about. She thought it was Yang Ming’s father’s company, so she didn’t ask much more.
“Tonight then, if there is time tonight, I will go home. However, I may not be able to stay overnight…” Yang Ming sighed. “Mengyan, I am sorry.”
“It’s nothing; important matters first! Then you should go back to work. We’ll talk at night once you come home!” Chen Mengyan was not an unreasonable person. Seeing that what Yang Ming said was so serious, she no longer chatted with him.
