Chapter 496: Why Won’t You Let The Person Go

She had yet to agree to his words.

She brought her phone out to give him a call, only to learn that his phone was switched off!

That was fine. She had a French class later. She would head to his office after class to talk to him once more.

Fang Manxue stretched her neck forward in an attempt to listen to their conversation. Unfortunately, the distance kept her from catching even a single word.

She saw that Ya Lun seemed to have run away. Did this mean that he wasn’t that interested in Fang Xinxin?

Yeah, that’s how it looked.

Fang Xinxin was extremely ugly. Did she truly believe that all the men in the world revolved around her? Since Ya Lun did not have feelings for Fang Xinxin, perhaps, she had an opportunity now?

Fang Manxue considered whether she ought to listen to her mother’s advice and seduce Ya Lun.

However, she thought about Bai Qinghao, the man she had admired since she was young!

She refused to give up. She did not want Ya Lun. What she wanted was to become Madam Bai!

Ya Lun headed to an isolated area and immediately made a call to the mastermind behind Hei Xiao. “Boss, Fang Xinxin has completely backed me into a corner. She insists that we hand Wang Liangping over!”

“Useless. You couldn’t even handle a small matter like this,” the man’s frigid voice conveyed his displeasure.

“Yes, yes, I’m useless.” Ya Lun rushed to admit. “Why don’t you come and handle Fang Xinxin?”

“...”

The only response he received was silence that left his scalp prickling uncomfortably.

Ya Lun cried out internally. ‘Boss, if you can’t handle this either, you can’t keep scolding me for being useless!’

As he did not wish for his life to end, he could only grumble in his mind. He did not dare to express his displeasure in front of his boss. “Boss, we’ve locked Wang Liangping up for so long. How about we send him over to Fang Xinxin now?”

As long as they handed Wang Liangping over, Fang Shaohua’s case would immediately improve.

He struggled to understand why his boss was holding onto the man and preventing Fang Shaohua from turning over a new leaf.

“We’ll hold him for a while longer,” the voice on the other side finally seemed to give in slightly.

“But Boss, what am I supposed to say to Fang Xinxin...” He was extremely troubled.

“Does she know that we have him in our hands?”

“She doesn’t. But I’ve investigated and found that she has paid another organisation to locate Wang Liangping. I’m afraid it won’t be long before she suspects that he is with us.” Ya Lun deliberated over this.

All of a sudden, he asked. “If Fang Xinxin finds out that you’re the person refusing to let go of Wang Liangping...”

“This matter was naturally done by you,” the command was given coldly before the call ended.

“No...” How did this become his responsibility?

This was clearly unrelated to him, alright? Ya Lun stared at his phone as it beeped softly. He felt the urge to cry.

He lifted his head to the vibrant blue sky. The sun was bright today and there were no clouds whatsoever.

Would it be alright to cry out his feelings? ‘The world should be a safe and just place. I refuse to bear this responsibility!’

...

Fang Xinxin headed to class as per normal. However, Headmaster Ma took over their French class and said that Lecturer Ya Lun was on leave.

His office was also empty.

She had truly over-estimated Ya Lun’s character. He actually pretended to be ill to avoid her?

Fang Xinxin narrowed her eyes. A possibility was slowly forming in her mind.

Based on what she recalled, Hei Xiao was an extremely well-connected and powerful organisation.

It had been so many days. It was more than likely that they already caught Wang Liangping.

She was almost certain that Wang Liangping was currently in Hei Xiao’s hands. What she failed to understand was why they refused to let him go.

It seemed like she needed to rethink her plans.

Fang Xinxin sat before her desk. She had heard that Jiang Xingnan, who sat next to her, hadn’t appeared in school in days.

It was best if he wasn’t going to attend. She could not be bothered to deal with that bastard.

The moment she thought about him, Jiang Xingnan’s slightly thin figure appeared in the classroom.
