"Yes." Ling Yun recalled the crazy and terrifying moment just now, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat, quickly replying. He suddenly seemed to remember something: "Chief Instructor, did you see anything just now..." At this point, Ling Yun involuntarily stopped speaking. He couldn't help but exchange a glance with Gu Xiaorou.
"I didn't notice." Tang Tiejin answered crisply. He seemed unwilling to answer the question and instead said, "I'll send you two back. This is a barrier I set up. In addition to isolating you from the outside world, it also has the function of teleportation. It can send you directly back to Jinghua University. But remember to stay invisible and don't let others notice anything unusual."
Before Ling Yun and Gu Xiaorou could answer, Tang Tiejin waved his hand, and the black space instantly transformed into an overwhelming black curtain, tightly enveloping the two of them as they sped away.
……………
At the gates of the Superpowers Headquarters, Tang Tiejin stood solemnly, watching the direction Ling Yun and the other person had disappeared into the distance, until the darkness turned into an invisible dot. Only then did he softly say, "So, it was all just a so-called deception..."
Chapter 206 Kidnapping
The young security guard at the No. 4 male dormitory building of Jinghua University has been feeling strange and frustrated lately. The strange thing is that every day, stunningly beautiful girls come to his door looking for someone. And they don't all come at the same time, and they're always looking for the same person. The frustrating thing is that these incredibly beautiful girls aren't looking for him, but rather for an unremarkable guy in room 308.
The young security guard recognized him; his name was Ling Yun. He seemed quite famous in Dorm 4, but not for a good reason. He frequently skipped classes and almost got arrested by campus police last time. However, he seemed to have gotten lucky and was let off easily. Instead, his roommate was arrested, and now his deluxe dorm room, 308, is practically a single room for him. This made the young security guard very jealous.
Why are these girls, who are no less attractive than celebrities and often skip classes, so infatuated with this good-for-nothing, average-looking guy? And judging from the hopeful looks in their eyes when they inquire about him, and the disappointed expressions when they don't get a reply, even a fool could see they really like him. The security guard was filled with envy, jealousy, and utter confusion, completely baffled as to why this was happening.
He also noticed that the girls seemed to know each other well but also avoided each other. When they inquired about the unassuming boy, they also nervously asked who else had come to see Ling Yun, as if they cared a lot about who had come to see him more, for fear of leaving themselves out.
Two girls came the day before yesterday, one alluring and charming, the other aloof and radiant. They kept asking Lingyun if he had returned to the dormitory recently, making the security guard feel so jealous. Fortunately, he was honest enough not to lie out of jealousy. Instead, the alluring beauty sweetly said thank you, making the security guard's bones almost melt.
Two more girls arrived yesterday. One was as beautiful as an elf; the security guard recognized her as the campus belle of Jinghua University, and he was utterly amazed, filled with boundless admiration for Ling Yun—even the campus belle had condescended to inquire about his whereabouts! The other was gentle and elegant, possessing unparalleled beauty. She looked exceptionally gorgeous and captivating, even her speech was gentle and refined, inspiring a sense of tenderness in one's heart. The young security guard even lowered his voice when answering her, fearing that a loud voice might suddenly blow this delicate beauty away.
The young security guard initially felt his job was meaningless, spending his days pretentiously watching students come and go in the lobby, killing time with boredom and magazine reading, wasting his youth in emptiness. But after these past two days, he suddenly felt his work had meaning. He realized that from another perspective, a security guard's job could be quite colorful, at least he could admire different beautiful women.
Maybe… The young security guard, drooling, gazed at the completely dark night outside the bright floor-to-ceiling windows on the first floor of the dormitory. He thought he might have a romantic encounter. Ling Yun wasn't even as good-looking as him, and he was stronger and more powerful. He'd even learned a few martial arts moves; why would he have trouble finding a beautiful girl to be his friend?
Just as he was desperately indulging in this fantasy, the coffee-colored automatic revolving door slowly began to turn again. As the air flowed, a chill followed. Although December in Beijing wasn't as frigid as the Northeast, it was still much cooler, especially with the biting wind. Many people put on fleece jackets and pants to ward off the unexpected cold snap.
The young security guard quickly pulled a tissue from the drawer in front of him and carefully wiped the drool from his lips and chin before the person entered the dormitory lobby. He then sat up straight, his face immediately adopting a fairly professional expression. For the past two days, he had maintained this fast and efficient work style, hoping to make a good impression on the beautiful woman walking towards him.
"Hello, Yuqi, how can I help you?" the young security guard asked, trying to be as gentle as possible. Although he thought it was very kind and gentlemanly, to others, he just seemed pretentious, stiff and affected like an actor who had never acted before.
The girl named Yang Yuqi came yesterday. The reason I know her name is because today, the young security guard took advantage of his off-duty time to sneak over to Old Lady Qian's place in the girls' dormitory. He deliberately made up some random things and confused Old Lady Qian, and finally managed to get the list of girls in the dormitory. Only then did the young security guard learn that this beautiful but unassuming girl was named Yang Yuqi.
"She'll be surprised to hear me call her by name, and maybe she'll start paying attention to me from now on..." the young security guard thought mischievously, a smug smile spreading across his face.
"Excuse me, security guard, did you see Lingyun from dorm 308 come back today?" Yang Yuqi didn't seem to care that the earnest, almost comically serious security guard knew her name; she was simply asking about what she cared about. In fact, countless strangers knew her name. During her semester at Jinghua University, she was renowned as one of the four beauties, practically a household name. Even male students from other universities would travel to Jinghua University specifically to see her. It was perfectly normal for a security guard to know her name.
The young security guard's expression was somewhat stiff: "This... it seems not yet. Ling Yun hasn't been back for many days. Yuqi... if it's convenient for you, could you give me your phone number? That way, when Ling Yun returns, I... I can tell you as quickly as possible." He stammered as he mustered his courage to finish speaking, his heart pounding like thunder in his chest, and a cold sweat broke out on his back, instantly soaking his light blue uniform shirt.
"Thank you, but no need. I'll come back to him later. Thank you for your help." Although it was the answer she expected, Yang Yuqi still couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. A somber expression appeared on her stunning face. After politely declining the young security guard's request, she quickly left dormitory number four.
Damn it! What's so great about that guy? All those girls are obsessed with him, all big-breasted and brainless... The young security guard was struck dumb, slumped into his chair, and cursed angrily.
Yang Yuqi walked listlessly along the path in the north area of the campus. The place was quiet and elegant, decorated in a classic style, with only three-meter-high old-fashioned streetlights casting a soft glow at night—a perfect spot for a date. However, it was nearing the end of winter, and the temperature was quite low, with a biting night wind. Therefore, the path was deserted, except for Yang Yuqi, who wandered aimlessly, lost in thought.
She sighed softly, trying to banish the image of the boy she constantly longed for from her mind, but no matter how hard she tried, it was all in vain. The girl weakly cupped her beautiful face, feeling her face burning even in the cool breeze.
Lingyun, where are you? Do you know how much my heart longs for you? Yuqi walked along, gazing up at the sky, her beautiful eyes, bright as black gemstones, shining like stars. The sky was filled with countless stars, but in Yuqi's heart, she longed to find a star that belonged to her. But that star, the one she cherished most, seemed like a shooting star, disappearing in a flash, leaving Yuqi's heart filled with loss and longing.
Before me lay a brightly lit landscape, with rows of skyscrapers resembling dazzling lighthouses in the night. Cars flowed endlessly along the wide roads, and from above, one could see a city that never sleeps, composed of bizarre and dazzling lights, both captivating and seemingly elusive.
Yuqi stood on both sides of the street, watching cars speed past her, and only then did she realize that, without noticing, she had left the gates of Jinghua University and arrived at a street she didn't recognize. She couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly. For so many years, she hadn't been able to walk alone so freely, especially on a cold winter night. Before, walks were filled with freedom and excitement, but now it was only because she missed someone.
Yang Yuqi never imagined that one day she would feel this way about a boy she didn't even know very well. That seemingly ordinary yet subtly extraordinary boy was like a magnet, drawing her heart to him.
The girl took out her phone from her pocket and dialed the number she had dialed countless times before, but without exception, it was always a cold, synthesized electronic female voice: "The user you dialed is currently unavailable..." Clearly, this time was no exception; the miracle did not happen on the last attempt.
It was almost 10 p.m., and although Yuqi still didn't want to go back to the dormitory, she still had to abide by the school rules, otherwise she would have to sleepwalk all night.
Just as she was about to turn and walk towards the school, a clean white handkerchief was suddenly reached out from behind and covered her mouth. Yuqi was startled and was about to struggle desperately, but the handkerchief emitted a pungent ether smell. When it touched her nose, the girl immediately lost consciousness, and her body went limp and fell backward. A strong arm lifted the girl's slender waist, then bent down and gently placed the girl on a broad shoulder.
A black Mercedes-Benz S560 parked on the side of the road immediately opened its door. The person who had drugged Yang Yuqi deftly, like a cat, placed the unconscious girl into the back seat, closed the door, and then calmly walked to the front passenger seat and sat down. The entire process was silent and extremely fast; from the time Yang Yuqi was drugged until she got into the car, less than twenty seconds had passed. Many vehicles passed by on the road, but almost no one witnessed this kidnapping.
The Mercedes-Benz steered slightly and slowly drove towards the outskirts of the city, quickly disappearing into the heavy traffic.
Sitting in the driver's seat and the passenger seat of the Mercedes were two burly men in black outfits, probably in their thirties. Both men were expressionless; one was focused on driving, while the other stared straight ahead at the night sky.
Sitting in the back seat of the car was a young man in a suit and tie, a smug smile on his face. It was none other than Ding Hao, who had been humiliated by Chen Jiaxuan at the Bingyan Cafe. At this moment, Ding Hao was half-leaning, half-carrying the unconscious Yang Yuqi in his arms, gently pinching the girl's fair and rosy cheeks while smiling and muttering to himself, "Yuqi, you still can't escape my embrace. You'd better stay with me obediently from now on. It's a pity that Ling Yun hasn't been at school lately, otherwise I would have dealt with him too."
The two burly men seemed not to hear his mutterings, sitting motionless in the front of the car like two stone statues.
"Thank you both for this favor. I will definitely pay you well. As long as you deliver this girl to the place I specify, your mission will be complete. You can just wait to collect your money when you get back." Ding Hao casually took out a pack of Furongwang cigarettes from his suit pocket, easily opened his Zippo lighter, lit a cigarette, and slowly spoke while puffing out clouds of smoke.
"If you're paying someone, you have to do their bidding. Young Master Ding, there's no need to be so polite." The burly man in the passenger seat said curtly, without even turning his head, as if Ding Hao didn't exist at all.
Ding Hao wasn't angry. He smiled slightly and then fell silent. He rolled down the car window halfway and gently flicked ash from his cigarette at the rapidly receding scenery outside. His other hand, seemingly unconcerned, roamed over Yang Yuqi's sexy body with obvious affection. If it weren't for the two cold, burly men around him, Ding Hao would likely have already made a complete fool of himself.
The Mercedes drove for about half an hour before finally arriving at a quiet garden apartment. Apart from the driver, Ding Hao and the burly man in the passenger seat got out. Ding Hao led the way, while the burly man continued to carry Yang Yuqi, following Ding Hao through a winding cobblestone path until they stopped in front of a luxurious apartment building.
Ding Hao stepped forward and rang the doorbell twice. The melodious electronic ringing faintly drifted into the apartment building. A moment later, the mahogany apartment door opened, and a tall, handsome young man looked nervously through the iron bars. Upon seeing Ding Hao, he relaxed and asked softly, "Is the matter resolved?"
Ding Hao threw his cigarette butt on the ground, stomped on it, made an OK sign with his fingers, and said, "Zhou Ping, don't you trust me to handle things?"
The young man was Zhou Ping, whom he hadn't seen for many days. Hearing Ding Hao speak, he opened the iron gate and let Ding Hao and the burly man carrying the unconscious Yang Yuqi walk in together. His face was full of worry: "Ding Hao, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just that after you went out, I suddenly had a very bad feeling, a very bad feeling, as if someone was spying on me in the dark. It made me restless, as if what we did had been seen."
Ding Hao dismissively said, "You're overthinking it. Why are you feeling so uneasy? The people I hired are all professionals; there's no way they could have slipped up." As he spoke, he said to the burly man who had already gently placed Yang Yuqi on the sofa in the living room of the apartment, "You two can leave now. I've already had the money transferred to your accounts."
The burly man nodded silently, turned around, pushed open the apartment door, and went out.
The Mercedes S560 remained stationary, but the interior lights were off, making it difficult to see clearly in the darkness. The burly man found this strange. He walked over to the car, opened the door, and asked, "Why did you turn off the lights? There aren't any cops with you, what are you afraid of?"
As if in response to his words, the lights inside the car immediately turned on, and the big man was stunned.
An ordinary-looking young man sat leisurely in the seat where the driver had been sitting, and gave the big man a faint smile: "Hello."
