"Hey, boss, where are your eyes looking at? Let's rent a boat! "
Ling Yun waved his right hand in front of the owner of the boat rental business, frowning slightly as he spoke unhappily.
Zhang Ling had a head full of clean short hair. She wore a tight T-shirt with a pink jacket on the outside and a short skirt with ruffles on the bottom. Paired with a pair of transparent high-heeled sandals, she was sexy, beautiful, and youthful. The owner of the boat rental business could not help but stare at her.
"Erm … I'm sorry, it's really late now. We're going to close for the night …"
The owner finally retracted his gaze and looked at Ling Yun awkwardly. At the same time, he was secretly wondering where this playboy came from. How dare he bring his girlfriend to rent a boat in the middle of the night? Could it be that he was going to play with the boat?
"Are you renting or not? If not, I'll find another one. "
Ling Yun casually took out a bundle of red hundred-dollar bills. There was a total of ten thousand dollars. He rubbed his right thumb and smiled at the owner.
"All … all … all for me?!" The owner's eyes lit up instantly. They were even brighter than when he was staring at Zhang Ling just now.
"Take it!" Ling Yun casually threw the ten thousand dollars into the owner's hand with a smile on his face.
"The boat is yours now. Pick one and have fun. Once you're done, just drive the boat back …"
The owner immediately beamed with joy. Zhang Ling, on the other hand, stomped her feet anxiously. Ling Yun was really generous. These boat rental businesses did not even earn ten thousand dollars a day!
Ling Yun did not care. How could he not spend money if he wanted to be romantic?
With the help of the owner, Ling Yun picked the most luxurious boat and brought Zhang Ling directly to the center of the lake.
The rainy season in Jiangnan Province did come later this year. Although it was already half a month into summer, there was not a single drop of rain in this half a month. Every day, the scorching sun scorched the earth, and the heat waves rolled. Only at night was there a rare coolness.
The bright moon hung high in the sky, and the river of stars shone brightly. The Milky Way hung in the sky, and a cool breeze blew, and the surface of the lake sparkled. Although the scene was not as magnificent as that of the sea, it was a wonderful feeling.
"This yacht is not bad. It feels good too!"
After a round trip on the East Sea, Ling Yun had already become an excellent boat pilot. The yacht slowly moved towards the center of the lake, but he became a shopkeeper who didn't have to do anything. He couldn't even be bothered to steer.
"Are you crazy? Ten thousand yuan? He doesn't even earn that much in two days. You're really willing to spend it!"
Zhang Ling was still feeling heartache over the stack of hundred-dollar bills.
"Hehe, since the last time I went to your house and got caught by your aunt, we haven't had a good time alone together. The night is so beautiful tonight, what's a little more money?"
Ling Yun took out two bottles of drinks from his spatial ring and activated the Yin-Yang harmony balance. The cold True Qi in his body surged and spread to his palms. The two bottles of drinks instantly cooled down. It was as if they had been in the fridge for ten hours.
"Here …"
"Oh my god, you … how did you do it?!" Zhang Ling said in shock as she took the bottle of cold water droplets.
With Ling Yun's current strength, he could already control the Yin-Yang harmony balance at will. Only his palms were cold, and the surrounding air didn't drop. Naturally, Zhang Ling couldn't sense it.
"Believe in Big Brother Yun and gain eternal life. Do you understand?" Ling Yun said with a cheeky smile as he took a sip of his drink.
"F * ck you!" Zhang Ling rolled her eyes at Ling Yun, but she couldn't help but look around to see how far they were from the lake.
The further they were from the lake, the faster Zhang Ling's heart beat. Ling Yun's actions were always unexpected and unconstrained. She had no idea what he was going to do next.
However, she really liked this kind of feeling of nervousness and anticipation. She even wished that time could stop at this moment.
"Did you miss me?" Ling Yun stared at Zhang Ling. His previous cheeky expression was gone, and his tone was gentle.
Zhang Ling's eyes turned red instantly. She bit her lower lip and said, "I sent you so many messages. Can't you see them?"
Zhang Ling really couldn't understand why Ling Yun was so busy. Why did he have so many beauties around him? If there was a medicine for regret, she would rather go back to two months ago when no one cared about Ling Yun.
"I saw them. Didn't I reply to your messages …" Ling Yun felt a little embarrassed by Zhang Ling's complaints.
Zhang Ling pouted and said, "I sent you twenty messages, but you didn't reply to even one. How can that be called replying to my messages?"
Ling Yun could only shut up obediently.
The cabin quieted down, and the atmosphere became ambiguous. At this moment, silence prevailed.
After a while, Ling Yun's voice broke the silence. "You didn't affect your studies, did you?"
Zhang Ling laughed and said, "Of course not. In the second mock exam last month, I ranked third in class and fifth overall in arts …"
Zhang Ling was the kind of person who could turn her thoughts into motivation for her studies. Whenever she missed Ling Yun and couldn't sleep, she would try her best to immerse herself in her studies. She knew that this was the only way she could keep up with Ling Yun's pace and not be left too far behind.
Her academic results had improved tremendously. She was now firmly in the top five in Qingshui City. With such results, as long as she did well in the college entrance examinations, she could choose any of the famous universities in the country.
"However, if Shanshan was still in our school, I definitely wouldn't be in the top five in arts …"
The excitement in Zhang Ling's eyes dimmed as she quickly added.
"Shanshan … How is she now? Is she in contact with you? "Ling Yun asked hurriedly.
"I knew you asked me out just to ask for news about Shanshan …" Zhang Ling glanced at Ling Yun resentfully and said faintly.
Ling Yun didn't dare to meet Zhang Ling's eyes. In a low but serious voice, he said, "Zhang Ling, you know that Shanshan returned to Beijing because of me. There's no news of her now. I'm really worried. This is not normal …"
Zhang Ling could see the deep worry between Ling Yun's brows. Even though she knew that Ling Yun was worried about another girl, Zhang Ling couldn't help but feel her heart palpitate.
Ling Yun rarely showed such a worried expression. He had been hiding it well and quietly improving his strength.
According to Ling Yun's guess, the disappearance of Shanshan the moment she returned home must have something to do with his cousin from the Chen Family who had been harassing her over the phone.
The Chen Family was now in cahoots with the East Asian families and stirred up trouble in the country. Who knew how many more tricks they had up their sleeves?
It was impossible to say that Shanshan had forgotten about Ling Yun or had a change of heart.
Something big must have happened to the Cao Family. However, Ling Yun didn't have the strength to participate in such a high-level game. The secular families in Beijing weren't as weak as he imagined. Each of them had a strong foundation.
Zhang Ling sighed and leaned her soft body on Ling Yun's. She hugged Ling Yun's arm and said, "Ling Yun, don't worry. Shanshan should be safe now, but …"
Ling Yun was slightly relieved when he heard that Shanshan was safe. However, when he heard the word "but", he immediately became worried again.
"But what?"
"Sigh, see for yourself …"
Zhang Ling said as she took out her phone and started to look through the message history. Finally, she found a message and passed it to Ling Yun.
Ling Yun took Zhang Ling's phone and saw that it was indeed a text from Cao Shanshan. The content was:
Zhang Ling, I'm fine now. Don't worry. Ling Yun and I can't be together anymore. Help me take care of him. Let him forget about me. I wish him, you, and the whole class happiness. 0125.
After reading the message, Ling Yun's eyebrows shot up. He thought for a while before saying in a low voice, "Bullsh * t! This isn't something Shanshan would say! "
Shanshan wasn't like that at all!
Even though the path of love wasn't that difficult, Shanshan had given her all, including her thoughts and actions. She had even given her body to Ling Yun. If it wasn't for the fact that Ling Yun hadn't reached Physique Tempering Stage Four and couldn't lose his virginity, the two of them would have gotten together!
Moreover, Shanshan's return to Beijing was originally for the sake of the two of them. The first time she went back, she could return safely. How could the second time end up like this?!
Something must have happened to the Cao Family, and it was a huge matter!
Ling Yun looked at the time of the message and realized that it was sent at four in the morning on the second of May. He immediately asked, "Four in the morning? Is that the only message? "
Zhang Ling said gloomily, "Yes, that's the only reason. I'm to blame for this. I slept past one in the morning that night. At four in the morning, I slept too soundly. When I woke up in the morning and saw the text, I called back. I couldn't get through to Shanshan's phone …"
Seeing that Zhang Ling was vexed and blaming herself, Ling Yun gently hugged her shoulders and said, "It's not your fault, it's nothing …"
Four in the morning was the time when people slept most soundly. Furthermore, Zhang Ling had only gone to bed at one in the morning. It would be strange if she could hear the message.
As Ling Yun spoke, he took out his phone and found Shanshan's number. He immediately dialed it, but the call still didn't go through. It was still out of service.
Ling Yun had called Cao Shanshan's number almost every day. Unfortunately, he had never been able to get through.
"Are you sure that the person who sent the message is Shanshan herself? What does 0125 mean? "Ling Yun put away his phone and asked Zhang Ling again.
Zhang Ling nodded and confirmed, "The message was definitely sent by Shanshan herself. That's because 0125 is my birthday. Even if someone wanted to send me a message on her behalf, they wouldn't know that number."
"It's also because of this that I can be sure that Shanshan is safe now …"
Ling Yun naturally thought of this as well. He frowned and thought for a while before saying lightly, "I understand!"
Perhaps Shanshan's personal safety was not an issue, but she definitely lost her freedom. Otherwise, she wouldn't have sent such a disheartened message at four in the morning.
The underlying message was that something must have happened to the Cao Family! (To be continued.)
