Hidden identities of the AI Heiress
Chapter 751 - Chapter 751 Chapter 751 Tricked by a Young Girl

Chapter 751: Chapter 751: Tricked by a Young Girl Chapter 751: Chapter 751: Tricked by a Young Girl Zhou You’s assignment to closely protect Professor Qiao demonstrated just how capable he was. As they entered the bustling district, he shook off the car following them with just a few turns.

Tsk tsk, their trailing skills are lacking. I wonder who would be so daring as to have someone follow them.

Zhou You planned to wait until he had dropped off Professor Qiao at her destination before investigating thoroughly.

Qiao Yun was listening to the old man talk about his grandson’s various wrongdoings when her phone buzzed. She looked down at it.

It was a message from Pei Ya.

[Zhou You said someone was following you?]

[Yes.] Qiao Yun replied calmly, with her eyes downcast, [It’s nothing serious.]

Pei Ya, puzzled by the message, looked at it, but since the Professor said it was nothing, it must indeed be nothing.

The old man saw Qiao Yun messaging someone, so he picked up his phone to check it and was instantly stunned.

The phone signal was blocked, making his phone as good as a brick in his hand, yet this young girl could still send messages normally?

The old man’s eyelid twitched uncontrollably as he silently put down his phone, feeling somewhat guilty, thinking this was the price of being reckless.

Now what? If the lifesaver really intended harm, wouldn’t he be utterly helpless?

Qiao Yun noticed something off about the old man’s expression and thought he was feeling unwell again, so she asked, “Are you feeling alright?”

The old man’s voice was muffled, “I’m fine, but where are we going now?”

Qiao Yun replied succinctly, “To meet someone.”

“?”

The old man was puzzled, meet who?

And why bring him along if the young girl needed to meet someone?

Could it be that the person she was meeting was in trouble, so the young girl wanted his help?

The old man, a notable figure in his youth, hadn’t encountered such an unpredictable situation in many years and was immediately intrigued.

He didn’t care about the bodyguards who were about to go mad because they couldn’t locate him.

…

Half an hour later, the car stopped.

The old man followed Qiao Yun out of the car and looked at the restaurant in front of them. His initial caution relaxed a bit; such a crowded place wasn’t ideal for troublemaking, which proved the young girl had no bad intentions.

Then his eyes filled with confusion as he turned to ask Qiao Yun, “Young lady, are you hungry and want me to treat you to a meal?”

Qiao Yun simply answered, “Hungry.”

“So you were hungry. I thought…” The old man chuckled awkwardly.

“Thought what?” Qiao Yun looked at him with clear eyes.

The old man waved it off, “It’s nothing.”

He apologized internally for his wild guesses, reasoning that such a sweet girl could hardly be planning to kidnap him.

“Aren’t you looking for someone?”

Qiao Yun explained, “Upstairs.”

“If that’s the case, let’s hurry up then.” To express his gratitude, the old man said generously, “Order whatever you like, don’t worry about the cost.”

Qiao Yun merely acknowledged with an “Oh.”

Qiao Yun led the old man into the restaurant and straight to the upstairs VIP area.

As they walked, the old man speculated about the young girl’s identity, surmising that her family must be quite prominent to afford her such protection.

With such a notable family background and such a pleasant disposition, lacking the spoiled arrogance typical of other young ladies from prestigious families, she was indeed rare.

He was planning, intending to inquire thoroughly later. Firstly, he would lure the person in to be a young friend. Later, when she was older, his grandson could have the advantage of being closer to her.

The elderly man thought, coming to Shangjing City this time was not a loss, having met such a likeable young girl.

It was just… it seemed like he had forgotten something?

The elderly man tried hard to remember but still couldn’t recall, and finally gave up altogether.

The bodyguards who were still searching all over for their Family Head: “…”

Arriving at the private room’s door, the elderly man took the lead in opening it.

The moment the door to the room opened, the elderly man saw a handsome man sitting inside.

The man’s posture was relaxed, his demeanor cool. Hearing someone at the door, he lifted his eyelids, and their eyes met.

Those slightly upturned, peach blossom eyes held a playful non-smile.

The next second, the elderly man’s pupils dilated, and then he nonchalantly stepped back, his wrist subtly tensing.

With a bang, the door to the private room was closed again.

Qiao Yun blinked, her expression somewhat dazed.

The elderly man coughed lightly and explained, “This room is occupied, let’s switch to another room, no, let’s change to another restaurant altogether.”

Just as he finished speaking, the door opened again.

The elderly man’s spine stiffened, his head turning around with a crack, and then he put on a stern face, saying very authoritatively, “What a coincidence.”

Li Hanzhou leaned on the door frame, his gaze lowered, his stance lazy. He chuckled softly, ignoring the elderly man, his eyes focusing on Qiao Yun.

The elderly man thought Li Hanzhou was angry and quickly stepped in front of Qiao Yun, “Come, let me introduce you, this is my new friend I just made.”

He emphasized the word “friend”.

Li Hanzhou still ignored him, and with a low voice tinged with laughter, said to Qiao Yun, “You’ve had quite the trouble.”

The elderly man: ????

Qiao Yun knew what he was talking about and looked up at Li Hanzhou, “It wasn’t hard, very easy to deceive.”

The elderly man: “…”

Although he didn’t know what they were talking about, why did he somehow understand what was going on?

Li Hanzhou’s eyes softened, and he reached out to touch Qiao Yun’s cheek.

In the end, he couldn’t resist pinching it.

So soft.

Qiao Yun pouted, dissatisfied with Li Hanzhou’s action as if pinching a child’s cheek.

The elderly man was stunned, his eyes bewildered as they darted back and forth between Li Hanzhou and Qiao Yun, perplexed, “You know each other?”

“Yeah.” Qiao Yun nodded, calmly replying, “Family Head Li, I have seen your picture. I didn’t say anything on the way here in case you decided to run.”

Qiao Yun’s memory was indeed excellent; thus, she recognized the elderly man as Li Hanzhou’s grandfather at first glance.

She first sent a message to Li Hanzhou about this.

Then Li Hanzhou informed her that his grandfather had sneaked out, so Qiao Yun quietly led the old Family Head there along the way.

The old Family Head’s lips twitched fiercely, facing Qiao Yun’s obedient look, how could he be angry? His voice fairly depressed, “To think, I, who have roamed the world for so many years, would be deceived by a young girl.”

But it turns out the young girl knew his grandson. What a fate ordained by heaven!

Li Hanzhou coldly said, “You don’t need to apologize to him, he sneaked out on his own. You have no idea how much trouble he caused. Heh, it’s lucky it was you today; otherwise, who knows where he could have ended up.”

The old Family Head’s brows throbbed fiercely. He accusatorially said, “Is that how you talk to your grandfather? I traveled a long way to see you, and this is the attitude you give? You show none of the demeanor a grandson should have.”

Li Hanzhou’s expression didn’t change at all, ruthlessly replying, “I’m fine, I don’t need you to come.”
