Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Is Miss Ye Asking Me For Help?

Tang Jingyao sent a video over, behind him was the VIP room of the casino, with a sexy croupier dealing cards, a group of men and women gathered around the gambling table placing bets.

"Are you still at the hotel?" Tang Jingyao casually pushed the chips in front of him forward, the denomination of one hundred thousand per chip before him was nothing more than a pile of cheap plastic.

"Yeah." Fu Xingzhou tapped the screen with one hand, "What’s up?"

"The guys thought you were back, wanted to invite you over for a few rounds." Tang Jingyao tapped off the ash from his cigarette, "Can you really sit still?"

"Why can’t I sit still?"

"I thought Mr. Fu would rush back to play the hero."

Fu Xingzhou’s hand movements didn’t stop, his eyes and brows drooping coldly, "She’s capable enough to solve it on her own, there’s no need for me to meddle."

"Second young master, Brother Tang wants you to hurry back and play with him."

"Brother Tang has lost over two million in a short while. He’s getting anxious."

The bustle on the other end disappeared as Fu Xingzhou raised his hand, and the world returned to calm in an instant.

Initially focused on the data on the tablet, he now couldn’t take in even a single word, his mind filled with the lonely, helpless figure under the streetlight.

Fu Xingzhou cursed and called Sun Ming over.

"What time is the flight tomorrow?"

"7:30 PM." Sun Ming took out his tablet, "Tomorrow’s schedule during the day is very full..."

"What’s the earliest flight?"

Sun Ming paused, then quickly answered, "7:15 AM."

"Book a ticket."

The boss issued an order, Sun Ming never asked for reasons, only took charge of executing it.

"What about Miss Nangong?"

"You stay here."

"Got it, Mr. Fu." Sun Ming turned and went to take care of it.

Meanwhile, at Tang Jingyao’s side, he glanced at the hung-up call with a bit of lost interest.

"Second brother didn’t come back?" The speaker was a young man sitting opposite him, the only son of Ao City’s chief executive, He Xuan.

"Looking at that expression, he didn’t." Liang Zheng on the other side clamored, "Brother Tang, play by the rules, pay up."

"What’s the rush?" Tang Jingyao blew a smoke ring, once again pushing out a pile of chips, "We agreed on twelve hours, and it’s still early."

He Xuan smiled gently, true to his name: "When has Brother Tang ever shorted us money? 12 PM tomorrow, you have time to collect money."

"Second brother won’t come back at all, he and Dr. Ye are just a couple of convenience, right now he’s still busy inland with his little lover." Liang Zheng was adamant, "They’ve been married for over a year, right? There hasn’t been a lack of women around second brother. A few months ago when he was on Dangzi Island, wasn’t he always followed by that big star Meng Li?"

Meng Li was Miss Hong Kong of the year, her fresh and natural appearance made her stand out among the competitors, and the two movies she starred in were also box office hits, accumulating substantial popularity for her.

Six months ago, when filming in Ao City, the Huangsha Group happened to be the investor, and she got to know Fu Xingzhou through one thing or another.

Tang Jingyao remained silent with a smile, "Until the end, the outcome is unpredictable in gambling, you can’t just count on luck."

He gently tapped his temple, "You have to rely on your brain."

Ye Yan had two surgeries that couldn’t be postponed.

After finishing the surgeries and returning to the office, she was completely exhausted.

Lawyer Xu, diligent and responsible, sent her the progress of the case; the victim’s party had already pressed charges, and the fermenting public sentiment was extremely unfavorable for Ye Zhun and the other two, with some people even starting to dox the personal information of the few students.

The police station’s entrance was surrounded by impassioned netizens, noisy and clamoring for justice for the victim, calling for severe punishment of the bullies.

"Lin Yihang’s side moved quickly, already gathering a lot of evidence, and I hear he’s even getting in touch with the victimized girls."

Every sentence from Lawyer Xu’s words felt like needles pricking Ye Yan’s heart, causing a dense throb of pain, leaving her completely powerless.

After closing the chat box, Facebook pushed a few news items to her, one of which concerned Nangong Yan.

Nangong Yan had quite the reputation in Ao City’s painting and calligraphy circles, known as a young female talent in traditional Chinese painting. This time, with her touring exhibition in the inland, the hype had surged, and the fact that Facebook was promoting her news was justifiable.

Normally, Ye Yan wouldn’t pay any attention to such things. She would swipe them away upon seeing them, but upon glimpsing the words "Nangong Yan," she found herself clicking into the post as if possessed.

A single selfie from Nangong Yan was enough to ignite a frenzied uproar among her fans.

Nangong Yan: A photo with a "masterpiece"!

The fans left comments one after another.

"Wow, that’s a genuine Russell, right? To think it’s hanging in the hotel, Yanyan is so awesome."

"Why did Yanyan put quotes around ’masterpiece’? Is it a play on words?"

"Didn’t you guys see the hand in the photo?"

"Such a beautiful hand, and you can tell it’s a man’s hand at a glance."

Ye Yan zoomed in on the photo for a closer look, indeed, seeing a hand revealed in the bottom left corner of the frame.

Clear joints, rounded fingertips, a beautiful creation that made one want to compose poetry in praise.

That hand was also wearing a watch, which Ye Yan recognized.

It was an antique watch Fu Xingzhou had acquired at an overseas auction for over forty million.

He had dozens of watches in his drawer, but this one was one of the few he often wore.

If Xiao Xiao’s photo could only prove that they entered the same hotel, then Nangong Yan’s photo solidified the fact that they stayed in the same presidential suite.

"Dr. Ye." Xie Yang’s voice rose from behind her.

Ye Yan hurriedly turned off her phone, feeling an inexplicable surge of panic.

She wasn’t the one who had done something guilty, so what was she fearing exactly?

"Director Bi is calling for you." Xie Yang opened his mouth, as if he had more to say but hesitated.

He had heard about Ye Yan’s situation from Xiao Xiao and had seen the comments online; he had to admit that the direction of public opinion was really easy to manipulate these days. Just a photo and a word could lead the uninformed netizens to righteous indignation.

Although he didn’t know the actual truth of the matter, how could Ye Yan, with her excellent character, teach a brother who would bully others?

Director Bi had given Ye Yan two days off, which was the only help he could give her for now.

"Are you going to plead with Lin Yihang?" Meng Tian’s voice was audible even through the phone, "He must hate you to the core by now, and if you beg him, he won’t show you any kindness. He might even make you do something humiliating."

"For Ye Zhun, I don’t care." Ye Yan had already made up her mind; as long as she could get Lin Yihang to back out, Lawyer Xu would have a chance to win the case.

Moreover, the incident that year was indeed Ye Family’s fault, so Lin Yihang’s retaliation was not an injustice for her to bear.

In the bustling lobby, Lin Yihang and his assistant were preparing to leave.

"Mr. Lin." Ye Yan approached him, "May I have a moment of your time?"

Lin Yihang glanced at his watch: "I cannot."

As he was about to leave, Ye Yan stepped back and spread her arms to block his way: "Just two minutes, can you?"

Lin Yihang looked coldly at the woman in front of him, her eyes wet and glistening like glossy, delicate glaze, exquisite and fragile.

But he would not be deceived by her appearance again.

"Miss Ye, are you pleading with me?"
