It Should Be Fine
"Lin Yi, are you done with your stuff?" Pengzhan's voice sounded a little anxious.
"I just finished. What's wrong, Uncle Chu? Did something happen?" Lin Yi asked.
"Yao Yao seems to have been kidnapped by Zhong Pingliang. Can you come back now?" After the incident with the company last time, Pengzhan was used to looking for Lin Yi whenever there was something he couldn't solve. He had asked Faubert to investigate and follow Zhong Pingliang, but Zhong Pingliang didn't come into contact with Mengyao. Faubert didn't know where Mengyao was.
Pengzhan didn't call the police because the situation was too complicated. First, he was worried about his daughter's reputation. Second, there wasn't enough evidence. Zhong Pingliang had Cihua's support, so Pengzhan couldn't do anything.
In a battle of this level, many things were hidden in the dark. Calling the police wouldn't solve the root of the problem. Pengzhan didn't have the confidence to go against Cihua head-on. The power he represented was too strong! Even if Cihua helped Gubang to destroy his company's profits, Pengzhan couldn't do anything to him.
"Kidnapped?" Lin Yi was surprised by Zhong Pingliang's boldness. He didn't know that this kid was quite daring. He even dared to kidnap someone? "Did you call the police?"
"No, Zhong Fabai's been with Cihua lately, and he's got a strong backer. I don't want to be enemies with him just yet." Pengzhan didn't hide anything from Lin Yi and told him the truth.
Cihua again? Lin Yi frowned. This guy didn't know how to stop. Two golden class masters were dead, and he was still jumping around. Lin Yi would've killed him if he didn't want to live a peaceful life for a few days.
"You want me to do it?" Lin Yi asked.
"Yes. You're familiar with Zhong Pingliang and Yao Yao. It's best if you can find Yao Yao quietly!" Pengzhan said. "It's complicated. We'll talk face to face when you come back."
"Okay, I'll go back tonight." Lin Yi agreed.
When Lin Yi hung up, Xiaoxiao asked, "You're going back? I heard you say kidnapped. Who kidnapped him? "
"We'll talk about it when we get back, I'm not too sure myself." Lin Yi waved his hand at Xiaoxiao. "I'll be going first."
"You won't wait for my father to come back? He still wants to see his son-in-law. " Xiaoxiao didn't want Lin Yi to leave so soon. This was a good chance. Their relationship would change when they got back to school. Even if it was stronger than before, it wouldn't be as harmonious as it was now.
"I'll see you later." Lin Yi didn't have time to deal with Xiaoxiao- he still had business to attend to.
Although Lin Yi didn't have the obligation to protect Mengyao, Lin Yi couldn't just sit back and do nothing if something happened to Mengyao! Even now, Lin Yi still didn't understand why he was sent to Mengyao's side! What kind of mission was he supposed to carry out?
He asked Pengzhan a few times, but Pengzhan always gave him vague answers. From the Miss, the answer Lin Yi got was that he was a shield! Of course, Lin Yi didn't believe that it was that simple, but he had no other choice.
And so, Lin Yi was like a butler. Whether it was Pengzhan's company, the Miss' studies, or her best friend Shu, Lin Yi did everything he could to help! Not only did he have to be the babysitter for these two girls, but he also had to be a bodyguard. He even had to be a thug at school!
But as time went on, Lin Yi got used to it. This mission was really complicated. From start to finish, it didn't seem like he had anything to do, but things never stopped! If it weren't for the old man's promise that the reward for this mission would be enough for him to retire, Lin Yi would've questioned it long ago.
This Miss really didn't let him have peace of mind. If something happened to her, Lin Yi couldn't just ignore it! It wasn't just the problem of Pengzhan being his employer anymore. Lin Yi really did have some feelings for Mengyao and Yushu. After all, they lived under the same roof every day. If they were in danger, Lin Yi would definitely help them.
Although the auction had ended, there were still some follow-up matters to take care of. The seller and the buyer had to stay behind.
Lin Yi said goodbye to Guan Xuemin and Fatty Lai and took the plane back to Songshan that night. He couldn't book economy class tickets anymore. He could only book first class tickets, but Faubert booked them directly.
After getting off the plane, Lin Yi saw Faubert waiting at the arrival gate.
"Faubert!" Lin Yi walked over quickly.
"Mister Lin, it's been a long journey!" Faubert said apologetically. "I made you come back in such a hurry."
"It's nothing. Something happened to Yaoyao, of course I had to come back." Lin Yi didn't expect Faubert to be so polite. In fact, Lin Yi felt a little guilty. After all, Mengyao was in trouble when he was away. If one were to talk about responsibility, he was also responsible! Although Pengzhan didn't explicitly say that he would be Mengyao's bodyguard, he only asked him to be a follower. But this kind of follower was more complicated.
"Mister Chu is waiting for you. This way please." Faubert didn't say anything else. It wasn't appropriate for him to say too much.
In the parking lot of the airport, in Faubert's Bentley, Lin Yi saw Pengzhan. Lin Yi didn't expect Pengzhan to come to pick him up. It was obvious that it was an emergency. Pengzhan couldn't wait to meet him.
"Lin Yi, listen to this recording first." Pengzhan didn't waste time with small talk. He passed a recording pen to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi nodded and pressed the play button. Pinliang's voice came from the recording pen. "Hello, Uncle Chu … …"
It was a recording Pengzhan had made during Pinliang's visit. It was the evidence Pengzhan had left behind, but there was no need for him to go through the trouble of narrating the whole thing. The recording was enough to explain everything.
Lin Yi frowned after listening to the recording. Pinliang dared to touch Mengyao?
"Uncle Chu, what do you mean?" Lin Yi wanted to know Pengzhan's plan first.
"Faubert already checked. Yaoyao isn't at Pinliang's house. Pinliang didn't do anything strange today. He went to school, left school, and went home normally." Pengzhan said. "I thought Pinliang would find a chance to meet with Mengyao, but he didn't."
"Ha … … Then Yaoyao should be fine." Lin Yi sighed and smiled.
