Chapter 239: Chapter 239: Lingdang is in Danger

Leng Yuchen listened to Shi Yiqing’s aggrieved words, how could he bear it?

He immediately comforted her and then had someone investigate what had happened to Shi Yiqing.

The Xiao Family’s birthday party didn’t host Leng Yuchen’s people, but the events of the day were no secret, so it wasn’t difficult for him to find out what had actually happened.

After finding out what the matter was, he felt a surge of animosity towards Cheng Lingdang.

"Mr. Leng, why did you suddenly call me?"

After two days, Shi Yiqing finally received a call from Leng Yuchen.

The moment she saw the caller ID, a trace of surprise flickered in her eyes.

Despite her surprise and bewilderment at Leng Yuchen reaching out to her, her tone was full of uncertainty as if she hadn’t expected him to contact her.

Listening to her voice, Leng Yuchen casually asked, "I heard you like fragrance blending?"

"Yes," Shi Yiqing blurted out, "How did you know?"

Leng Yuchen said, "I have a friend who told me you once offered yourself at the Xiao Family, wanting to take Mrs. Xiao as your mentor."

Mentioning this seemed to bring Shi Yiqing’s spirits down.

She said forlornly, "I indeed wanted Mrs. Xiao as my mentor, but... Mrs. Xiao already has a favored disciple, I’m afraid... she may not take a liking to me."

"How could that be?" Leng Yuchen consoled her, "You’re so smart, Mrs. Xiao will surely like you."

"Really?" Shi Yiqing was very surprised, "But... she already has a disciple, even if she likes me, what difference does it make? Moreover, Cheng Lingdang doesn’t like me; she definitely won’t agree to Mrs. Xiao taking on another disciple."

Leng Yuchen confidently assured, "Don’t worry about that, just know that Mrs. Xiao will definitely take you as her disciple."

Shi Yiqing’s joy was evident in her voice, "That would be wonderful! My dream can finally come true, I really thank you, Mr. Leng!"

"We’ve known each other for a while now, right? Are you still calling me Mr. Leng? Doesn’t it feel a bit impersonal?"

"Then... then how should I address you?"

"You can call me by my name."

"Ah? Would that be alright?"

"I’m a few years older than you, you can also call me ’Brother’."

"Hmm~ then I’ll call you Brother Yuchen from now on."

"Alright."

Leng Yuchen replied, his tone filled with a touch of indulgence.

Shi Yiqing’s voice too carried a tinge of elation.

Having hung up, Shi Yiqing suddenly heard a voice of doubt from behind, "Who are you talking to on the phone?"

Startled by the unexpected voice, she jumped.

Turning around, she met Quan Sicheng’s dark eyes.

A flicker of guilt passed through her mind involuntarily, but then she reassured herself.

All she did was take a phone call, she hadn’t done anything wrong, and Quan Sicheng had no right to blame her.

As she was thinking this, she heard Quan Sicheng ask, "Brother Yuchen? Who is this person, why haven’t I heard of him before?"

"He... he’s someone I met by chance."

Shi Yiqing bit her lip, instinctively avoiding the crucial issue of his identity and looked at him with confusion, "Brother Sicheng, why do you have time to come by today?"

At this, Quan Sicheng’s eyes carried a hint of guilt.

"The matter I promised you earlier, I didn’t manage to handle well, I wasn’t good enough."

What Quan Sicheng was referring to was the matter of finding a mentor.

Inside, Shi Yiqing also harbored some hard feelings, but she wouldn’t be foolish enough to show them.

Thus, hearing his words, she could only respond with a helpless expression, "Brother Sicheng, speaking about this with me makes it seem like you’re an outsider. As you said, Mrs. Xiao was only giving me a chance to be a disciple, it was never certain that she would accept me."

"Besides, there are many who wish to be mentored, it isn’t just me."

"Mrs. Xiao already had someone in mind, even if I were exceptional, if she doesn’t favor me, she doesn’t favor me. I’ve already thought it over clearly, Brother Sicheng, you shouldn’t worry about it on my behalf."

Quan Sicheng, seeing her understanding and forgiving demeanor, felt very comforted.

"Qingqing, you are so kind."

He said and reached out to wrap his arms around her waist, bending down to kiss her.

Shi Yiqing complied with his movements, and the room was filled with a romantic atmosphere.

...

"Third Master, what do you think... what will Shi Yaoguang do?"

In Quan Mansion, Shi Yaoguang sat on the couch with a plate of fruit, a complex look in her eyes.

Quan Jinbei knew what she was asking about, but as for Shi Yaoguang’s methods, he really wasn’t sure.

"From your understanding of her, what do you think she will do?"

When Shi Yaoguang saw him kick the question back to her, she couldn’t help but pout, "Based on what I know about her, she wants to get rid of anyone who stands in her way, but..."

"This time, the one standing in her way isn’t me."

Thinking about it, Cheng Lingdang was in danger.

Shi Yaoguang frowned and suddenly stood up, "This is bad!"

Seeing this, Quan Jinbei also stood up, "What’s wrong?"

"Lingdang might be in danger."

Shi Yaoguang didn’t have time to explain and quickly picked up her phone to call Cheng Lingdang.

After a few rings, Cheng Lingdang answered the call.

"Brother Shi, are you looking for me?"

Hearing her voice, Shi Yaoguang breathed a sigh of relief, "Where are you?"

Cheng Lingdang replied subconsciously, "I’m out shopping."

"Shopping?" Shi Yaoguang’s eyes darkened, "Where are you shopping? Who are you with?"

"I’m shopping with my mom on Gull Street."

After finishing, Cheng Lingdang asked with confusion, "Why are you asking this?"

Shi Yaoguang responded bluntly, "I’m worried you might encounter danger."

"What danger could I possibly face? I’m just..." Cheng Lingdang was about to say that she was just a nobody, how could she possibly be in danger, when her gaze inadvertently collided with a pair of sharp, hawk-like eyes.

Such eyes were definitely not those of an ordinary person.

She instantly felt a chill down her spine.

Shi Yaoguang, not hearing any response, quickly asked, "What’s wrong?"

"Brother Shi... I, I think I really am being watched."

Her voice shook slightly, "What... what do I do now?"

"Don’t panic," Shi Yaoguang told her to calm down first, "I’ll come to you right now. Turn on your location sharing and try to move to a crowded place..."

As Shi Yaoguang spoke, she was already sitting in the car.

Quan Jinbei followed and got into the passenger seat.

Ever since he had been able to stand up, he had prepared some simple masks in the car for convenience when going out.

Walking out with a mask might attract attention, but it wouldn’t let people recognize his identity.

Even if they did recognize him, it didn’t matter because...

He had no intention of always hiding.

Gull Street.

When Cheng Lingdang took the call, her mother was in the dressing room trying on clothes.

When she emerged from the dressing room, she was immediately grabbed by her daughter’s arm.

"Lingdang, what’s wrong?"

Cheng’s mother immediately sensed that something was off.

Cheng Lingdang whispered in a low voice, "We might be being followed; it’s very dangerous now!"
