"I'm done playing, I'm done playing. Let's go!" Li Yang also felt that continuing to play was just asking for trouble. There was no one to calm him down, and he couldn't touch Guan Ling, that thorny rose. He shouldn't torture himself anymore. That would be too pathetic!
The two packed up their gear and left the bowling alley. Looking at the time, they realized it was already dark. Damn, time really is sharp as a knife and as ruthless as a sword; it passes by in the blink of an eye.
"It's pitch black, let me take you home!" Li Yang said.
“Even if you get there, I won’t let you go up!” Guan Ling said warily.
"Damn it, did I say I was going up there? What would I do up there? Fight you!" Li Yang cursed speechlessly.
"You, you scoundrel! Your language is so vulgar!" Guan Ling cursed, her face slightly flushed.
"You provoked me first. You make it seem like I've always had designs on you. Do you really have that much charm?" Li Yang looked Guan Ling up and down, his eyes filled with disdain and his brows furrowed.
"Ugh—I can't stand your gaze. If you want to give it to me, then give it to me!" Guan Ling couldn't stand his gaze, waved her hand, and walked away.
"Hmph! A hero like me is a gentleman, I would never do anything vulgar!" Li Yang said, staring at Guan Ling's plump buttocks from behind. His hand kept stroking his chin.
"So what are you doing now?" Guan Ling suddenly turned around and stared at Li Yang, asking.
"I'm touching my chin. I didn't shave properly. What a piece of junk razor! I'll throw it away and get a new one!" Li Yang snorted and continued touching his chin with an unhappy expression.
"Oh!" Guan Ling couldn't tell if it was true or not for a moment. It was late at night, and she didn't see Li Yang's eyes clearly. She just felt a little cold on her butt, as if nothing had touched her. She couldn't help but turn around and glare at Li Yang. When she found that he was just touching her chin, she thought she was just overreacting.
Little did they know, Li Yang's eyes were incredibly sharp; if one wasn't careful, they would feel as if they were being touched.
"Whose phone is ringing!" Guan Ling suddenly asked. Li Yang had already answered the phone; it was Lei Xin.
"Hey, Leixin, what's wrong?" Li Yang asked.
"Boss, someone is trying to harm Zhao Ran. We've already found out," Lei Xin said in a deep voice.
"Really? Who's so reckless!" Li Yang laughed. Good, he'd been in a bad mood lately, getting himself into a real mess by those bastards at Hongtu Group. Having something to do was pretty satisfying.
Chapter 668: Our Relationship is Pure
"The principal of No. 1 Middle School was also involved. Although he secretly informed us later, that old bastard was one of the accomplices. Moreover, the place he tricked Zhao Ran into going to was Yongle Villa, the very place you kept asking us to investigate, boss. It's the brothel run by Qiu Luan, the father of Qiu Shi, the old chairman of Hongtu Group!" Lei Xin said, cursing.
"Damn, so that's how it is. Have you gathered enough evidence?" Li Yang sneered.
“Recently, the Shadow Group has been busy with this matter and has found a lot of sharp evidence, but they can’t eradicate them completely!” Lei Xin said with some worry.
"Okay. Send the information you found to my email first. Since Qiu Shi has someone backing him up, let's start with his father. You guys follow him and ensure Zhao Ran's safety. We'll be there shortly!" Li Yang said, having already made his decision.
"What's wrong?" Guan Ling asked Li Yang curiously.
"A friend of mine is in trouble, and I have to go there right now!" Li Yang said to Guan Ling, without revealing Zhao Ran's identity.
"Male or female?" Guan Ling asked, squinting.
"Woman. What's wrong?" Li Yang didn't hide it. He knew he couldn't hide it sooner or later, and only an idiot would tell a lie that was bound to be exposed.
"What's your relationship?" Guan Ling suddenly perked up and pressed for an answer.
"What's our relationship? Didn't I just say we're friends?" Li Yang explained.
"What friend?" Guan Ling held onto Qing Song tightly, determined not to let Li Yang go.
"Female friend!" Li Yang was speechless. Guan Ling, who am I to you? What business is it of yours what our relationship is? Why are you so concerned about me?
"There's no sex involved!" Guan Ling said with a disdainful smile.
"We have sex!" Li Yang corrected. Damn, we've had sex for a long time, how could we not?
"No! Just admit it, I saw right through you!" Guan Ling said dismissively. She had already experienced Li Yang's lying and arguing skills firsthand, so she absolutely did not believe what Li Yang said.
"Damn it," Li Yang thought, frustrated. "I can't even tell the truth. We clearly had sex, you're forcing me to say we didn't."
"Okay, I admit it, our relationship is completely platonic, there's no sex. Just friendship!" Li Yang said helplessly to Guan Ling. Damn it, what kind of world is this!
"Really?" Guan Ling began to doubt herself when she saw that Li Yang was still insisting after she had been talking for so long. Could it be that the relationship between Li Yang and her was really pure?
"Of course it's true. We're just best friends who grew up together. She's several years younger than me!" Li Yang explained.
"Childhood sweethearts?" Guan Ling immediately perked up again. There's no such thing as a pure relationship between a man and a woman. She absolutely didn't believe in pure relationships, especially not one like this. People who grew up together from childhood are bound to have some kind of ambiguous relationship.
"Whatever you say, I won't argue!" Li Yang said speechlessly.
"Hmph. Do you like her or does she like you?" Guan Ling stared intently at Li Yang.
"I don't know, maybe she has a crush on me?" Seeing that she had been asking for so long, it was better to reveal a little bit to lay the groundwork for the truth to come out later.
"She has a crush on you? That's possible. You're such a flirt, always chasing after girls. You're never clean, so your relationship with her is definitely not pure or clean!" Guan Ling interrogated Li Yang like a criminal.
"Damn it, do you think I'm a suspect?!" Li Yang immediately became annoyed. What the hell is our relationship? You're nobody to me now, why are you meddling so much?
"What's wrong? Are you too ashamed to face people?" Guan Ling said provocatively, lifting her chin.
"What's there to be ashamed of? I've already told you, our relationship is completely innocent. Why don't you come with me? Let's see what our relationship really is!" Li Yang said, exasperated by her indecisiveness.
"Do you really want me to come with you?" Guan Ling asked back.
“You’re the one who’s full of doubts about our relationship, who doesn’t believe in our pure friendship. Seeing is believing, hearing is deceiving. Why don’t you come with me?” Li Yang said.
“Alright, I’ll go with you and see just how platonic your relationship really is!” Guan Ling nodded and said.
"Alright. Let's go!" Li Yang called one of his henchmen nearby to drive over. The two got into the car and headed straight for Yongle Villa in the western suburbs. Thanks to the efforts of the film crew, they had found the exact location of Yongle Villa, which seemed to be very well hidden. It was located in a very inconspicuous and desolate mountain valley, in the western mountains. The villa was built in a magnificent and luxurious manner, like a small palace, showing how much that bastard Qiu knew how to enjoy life and how wealthy the Hongtu Group was, having amassed a fortune through real estate over the years.
