30 A New Guy (1/2)
Yu Jian had noticed that since the day Yueyue and Zixi had gone out for sight - seeing, both of them seemed to have somewhat changed. The array of expressions their faces were capable of seemed to have grown larger. One minute Zixi would be smiling to himself about something and the next he would scrunch up his brows as if he was perplexed and the very next he would be off in his own world with his eyes narrowed and fingers scratching the inside of his palms. Au contraire, Yueyue seemed to be worried, anxious and buffudled all at the same time. Many times he had to repeat himself twice or thrice to get her attention. What these two were upto, he didn't know but it was entertaining to watch them confused in their own world's so he let them be. If it was something important, they'll come to him on their own sweet time. Moreover, he had to go outside the country to clinch a business deal. He would leave today and be back in about a week's time.
Su Li knew Yu Yan would spring her trap after Yu Jian left for oversees. She had reminded Zixi to be extra - cautious these days. Before anything happened, she couldn't disclose anything to him. If asked to explain her hunch and reasoning, she wouldn't have a leg to stand on. Obviously, she couldn't say, ”Oh! I have a system and it informed me that this would happen years back but I have been sitting and enjoying myself to watch the drama unfold.”
Zixi would probably think that her mind had broken under pressure and send her straight to a place with straight jackets and inform the Yu patriarch later.
Anyway, she was worried about him and he told her, ”You... What are you so worried about? Stop repeating the same thing over and over again. You better concentrate on these business books and ask me if you don't understand anything. Stop looking for trouble.”
Damn him! Not worth her racking her brains tosave him.
Yu Yan had sensed that things between those two had changed somewhat. It was really unexpected that Zixi who proclaimed his loyalty towards the Yu patriarch to high heavens, would be interested in his master's daughter and had even started making a move on her. Otherwise, what could explain both of their's dazed and absent - minded expressions the past few days. Whatever, she'll slung them both into the mud and trample them underfoot soon enough.
Zixi had gone to Head Quarters of Yu Corporation to pick up a few files that had been asked for by Yueyue. On his way back he received a call from an unknown number. He didn't bother picking it up the first time but then it started ringing again. He picked up the call. ”Whose this?”
”You don't need to know who I am Xun Zixi. What you need to know is that I have the heiress - apparent of Yu Corporation with me.”
As soon as he heard those words, Zixi felt his whole body drenched in cold sweat. He was someone who wouldn't believe a person he didn't know, that too at their first word so he tried to track Yueyue's location with the GPS tracker that was attached to a small neck piece she always wore but it only showed her location up to an hour ago.
”You might want to check if what am saying is the truth or not. Here listen to your master's voice.”
All he heard after that was Yueyue's screams. She was being hurt, he could deduce that much.
”What do you want? If you want money or any other assets you could have asked for them but now you have hurt the Eldest Miss. What do you think will be your outcome ?”
”Mr. Xun, you don't need to worry about my future but worry about the sparrow who is in my clutches. I'll send you the address in some time and will also inform you as to what I want . Don't inform the police or bring anyone else along with you. Otherwise the result won't be pleasant for you and your master. I hope you will co-operate.”
Zixi called the security head at the residence and asked him the whereabouts of the eldest miss and was informed that she had left two hours ago without taking any guards saying she wanted to be low - key and having people following her every move wasn't conductive to that.
Xun Zixi's anger exploded like a volcano. She had been telling him to be careful and had went out on her own. However, he had to take a deep breath even though his heart was in his throat and reply, ”Okay, when she comes back, inform me.”
The people who had kidnapped her might be keeping an eye on him as well so, he didn't want to make any extra moves that would make them trigger - happy.
The people who had kidnapped the heiress of Yu conglomerate were puzzled. Not in a 'they had taken such a drastic step' way puzzled but 'is this girl truly fearless or not just right in the head' puzzled.
They had dragged her off a road into an van and brought her here but she hadn't made a sound from when they had covered her head, to pulling her into the van and even untill now. She was behaving as if this was an everyday walk in the park for her. Their employer had already informed them to remove her tracker so they weren't worried that they would get traced. The only requirement the employer has was to ruffle her up pretty bad and then let her escape before the guy came to deliver the money. The rest would be taken care of by others. Maybe the person wanted to frighten this entitled miss. They had recieved a hefty price for this child's play so they followed the instructions and didn't bother themselves with other details.
