Hao Ren came back home, thinking about what he just heard in the stall market. He was worried about Xia Yulei, but he did not know if he should act or not? He was not a selfless human, it did not benefit him to act if there was no profit for him. However, he was not cold blooded to stay indifferent even when he knew that his help could get the villains out of the scene.
He could use many ways to deal with Ron Yuan and Dwight Ion, but he was stuck in a dilemma. After some thinking, he took out his laptop from the bag, opened it, logged into the school forum and went straight to faculty list. He looked up Xia Yulei and called on the number mention in her details.
The call was connected and a lazy voice sounded from the other side, "Hello, who is this?"
Hao Ren took a deep breath and then said, "Good evening, Miss Xia. This is Hao Ren."
After a silence, Xia Yulie's demeanor changed, she asked crisply, "Student Hao Ren, is there something important that you called me at this hour?"
Hao Ren replied, "Well ma'am, it is something bothersome that I came across and I thought that informing you is the best course of action."
Xia Yulei was surprised to hear such words and asked, "Oh, what is it?"
The young man then described what he heard in the stall lane beside the school, and said, "Ma'am, it could be that I am being paranoid, but I just wanted you to stay safe. I apologize for the inconvenience."
Xia Yulei sighed and replied, "You don't have to worry, Hao Ren, it is fine. I am grateful that you called me as soon as you found out about this. However, don't worry, I am fine. Thank you for your concern."
Hao Ren nodded and then after wishing her a good night he disconnected the call. He knew for a reason that his words did not make Xia Yulei raise her guard at all. He thought maybe it was because he did not use the soothsaying skill or it could be that it did not apply on a call but only face to face.
Xia Yulei was frowning while holding her phone, she did not expect to get such a call from Hao Ren and that too at this hour. A middle-aged man sat across her going through some documents, and asked, "Was it another student to confess that he has a crush on you?"
Xia Yulei came back from her reverie and rolled her eyes, "None of my students do that, okay?"
Xia Yang, her brother asked, "Then what was it about, you seem to be thinking very intensely."
Xia Yulei nodded and told her about the information and said, "Well, that was what it was about. However, I think that Hao Ren was being a little paranoid, Ron and Dwight are just two teenagers and they must be talking in a heat of moment. It does not matter, I do not think they have the guts to do anything to me." Fresh chapters posted on novel-fire.ɴet
Xia Yang frowned and said, "I will take your word, but you better be careful of these silk pants. They can stoop to the lowest of the humanity within a blink."
Xia Yulei sighed and nodded before she went to her room.
The sun came up and Hao Ren came to the class. To his surprise, he came too early and was the first one to arrive. He sat down on his seat and closed his eyes, as he began to meditate and tap his finger on the desk rhythmically. He did not notice Han Lingshi arrive, and look at him in surprise for a few moments, before she came to take her seat.
Hao Ren was pondering over the situation with Xia Yulei and also running spirit energy cycles through his body. It was only when the bell rang did he wake up. He found Han Lingshi sitting next to him reading something. The young man looked at her and then took out his own book as well.
*Ding: Host, are you hesitating in dissing an enemy? Be a man, do all that you can to kill the enemy and protect your wife. Task initiated.*
Hao Ren sighed and took out a pencil before he wrote something on the page of his book and then tapped it with his pencil. The sound was light but it could annoy people. Han Lingshi turned her head slightly to look at the point where the pencil was hitting and she found some text there, 'Class Monitor, can I share something with you? It's about Miss Xia.'
Han Lingshi hummed and Hao Ren moved his lips to talk to her. He moved his hand and created a barrier to prevent the people from listening to them. Han Lingshi was shocked when he told her all this and she frowned. She looked at Hao Ren for a prolonged second, and then said, "You are probably thinking too much, they must have been talking in the heat of the moment."
Hao Ren replied, "I hope it is not true. But if it is, then I worry for Miss Xia."
Han Lingshi looked at his face and realized that he was not joking and she nodded before she went back to work. The day passed fine, Hao Ren shared the portion of food with Han Lingshi, and then he went for his music practice with Ye Yue.
It was the end of the day, and the entire class had stayed behind because Han Lingshi was assigning them the duties they would have on the day of the ceremony. After an hour, they were all allowed to leave almost at the same time when the teachers were leaving after finishing their work.
Hao Ren saw Xia Yulei walking in a rush, she was heading to the parking lot and he frowned. He could not help but follow her, and similarly, Han Lingshi followed him when she saw him rushing to the teacher's parking lot.
She caught up to him and asked, "Why are you going there?"
Hao Ren raised his hand and pointed at Xia Yulei, who was being dragged in a sports car on a gun point. Han Lingshi opened her eyes wide and spotted Dwight Ion holding the gun as he covered Xia Yulei's mouth to prevent her from calling for help. She quickly called the police but Hao Ren spotted Ye Yue on the side, who was also watching the scene with a shocked expression.
Hao Ren grabbed on Han Lingshi's arm and pulled her with him. He said, "You can call the police on the way, but we are going to follow them."
Han Lingshi yelled, "It's too risky."
Hao Ren looked at her and said, "We can help the police track them. It is not as risky as what Miss Xia is facing."
They rushed to Ye Yue who was in a shock, and Hao Ren said, "Miss Ye, can you follow that car, we know who took Miss Xia."
Ye Yue woke up from her shock, but as she took out the keys her hands were trembling. Hao Ren frowned and said, "I am driving, get in."
Han Lingshi and Ye Yue were stunned, but then they saw the young man skillfully getting in and starting the car as he looked at them and said, "What the hell are you two waiting for? Miss Xia's funeral?"
His bark got them inside the car quickly and they put on their seat belts. Ye Yue was influenced by the soothsaying skill while Han Lingshi was a timid teenager at this moment, Hao Ren's aura was too much. So, the chase began.
