I'm Not the Young Lady's Dream Girl - [Vol. 2] Chapter 25
[Vol. 2] Chapter 25: Searching for Shelter
Yinya came to Lin Hongzhen’s side and grabbed him, examining him closely.
‘This person looks so charred, and there’s a smell of burning on him. I wonder what happened,’ she thought.
“What’s going on? Why is this person here, and what happened here?” she wondered.
“Let go of me! Do you know who I am?”
Lin Hongzhen began to struggle, but he found that the girl’s strength was unexpectedly strong. Given his current condition, any struggle was futile.
“I don’t know, and I’m not interested,” Yinya replied coldly, throwing him to the ground and summoning her giant hammer.
“Now tell me, what exactly happened here,” Yinya demanded, emanating a powerful aura.
Lin Hongzhen started to tremble, remembering the last time he felt this way, it was when he encountered his teacher.
Although compared to his teacher, the girl in front of him was slightly inferior, Lin Hongzhen could still tell that she was definitely an S-class powerhouse.
What’s going on? Why would an S-class ability user appear here? There have been too many unexpected incidents today.
His mind was having trouble processing everything. If only he had listened to his teacher and not acted on his own. Unfortunately, he no longer had the chance.
“I… I was just passing by. There was a big explosion just now, and I got caught up in it.”
Lin Hongzhen tried to lie, hoping that they were still unaware of the current situation, and he might be able to escape.
“That’s obviously a problem. I remember you’re the second young master of the Lin family,” Xia Qiuxue’s voice rang out, mercilessly exposing Lin Hongzhen’s lie.
“Darn it, since I’ve been found out, there’s no point in keeping up this act. Yes, I am…”
Lin Hongzhen, seeing his identity exposed, stopped beating around the bush and uttered his real name, only to be knocked unconscious by Yinya’s small hammer.
“So much nonsense!” Yinya tossed Lin Hongzhen back to the ground and then clapped her hands.
“Shouldn’t we ask him a few questions?” Xia Qiuxue asked. After all, he was currently the only one who could provide them with clues.
Just now, Xia Qiuxue picked up her phone and tried to call Xueluo, but there was no response, only the sound of the phone ringing.
“The number you have dialed is not within the service area.”
Xia Qiuxue refused to believe it and continued to dial several numbers, but ultimately received the same result each time. Xia Qiuxue collapsed on the ground in despair, as if life had lost its meaning.
She had planned to give Xueluo a loving hug when she returned, but the villa was bombed, and Xueluo and the others were nowhere to be found.
And the culprit behind all this might be the guy in front of her who had been knocked out, she had to give him something worse.
“There’s no need. They left us a message,” Yinya said, pointing to an old tree not far away.
“Eh?” Xia Qiuxue also looked at the old tree not far away, where something was indeed written.
This tree was created by Yuluo, intended to inform the two of what had happened and their current location after Yinya and the others returned.
After Yinya and the others understood all the information, the old tree disappeared at a visible speed.
The people from the Ability User Association should be coming soon. It seems that Yuluo doesn’t want to leave any clues behind. After all, Yinya and the others already know the information, and the mission of this old tree is already complete.
“What about him?”
Xia Qiuxue looked at Lin Hongzhen disdainfully, as expected, everything that happened here was related to him.
“Keeping him might still be useful. Let’s take him with us,” Yinya said, reaching out to touch Lin Hongzhen.
Just then, a strange phenomenon occurred.
Strange patterns appeared on Lin Hongzhen’s forehead.
Then there was an impact, which pushed Yinya back a few steps, and Xia Qiuxue almost got thrown away.
With the strange patterns becoming more pronounced, Lin Hongzhen’s body began to emit a purple light. By the time they came to their senses, Lin Hongzhen had disappeared.
Yinya’s face was solemn. That seemed like divine power just now. Why? Why did he have divine power? Yinya couldn’t help but fall into contemplation.
“Lady Yinya, someone is coming.” Xia Qiuxue, although not sure what was happening, noticed someone approaching and quickly alerted Yinya.
Upon Xia Qiuxue’s reminder, Yinya snapped out of her thoughts. Although Lin Hongzhen harbored many secrets, for now, they needed to evacuate the area. As for Lin Hongzhen’s matters, they would have to figure out a solution later.
“Let’s retreat quickly,” Yinya said.
“Alright, I was waiting for you to say that,” Xia Qiuxue replied.
With that, the two of them swiftly fled the scene.
…………
Not long after, Yinyue finally reunited with Yuluo and the others on the abandoned street. Yinyue felt relieved that the ordeal had ended without incident.
As soon as Yuluo caught sight of Yinyue, she immediately rushed into Yinyue’s embrace, her hands trembling as they gripped Yinyue’s body tightly.
Yinyue, faced with the young lady before her, was momentarily taken aback by the depth of concern reflected in Yuluo’s eyes.
“Sister Yueyue is such an idiot! Do you know how worried I was? I…”
Before Yuluo could finish her sentence, Yinyue suddenly kissed her on the forehead, calming her instantly.
“Miss, I’m sorry I couldn’t inform you in advance,” Yinyue said, feeling guilty.
They had agreed to face difficulties together. However, fearing that the young lady might have an accident due to her amnesia, Yinyue had chosen to confront the danger alone, which was truly inappropriate.
“From now on, promise me, Sister Yueyue, that you’ll let me know immediately if there’s any danger,” Yuluo said softly, her gaze locking onto Yinyue’s eyes with unwavering intensity.
“I promise, my dear Miss,” Yinyue replied tenderly, returning Yuluo’s gaze, their eyes lingering in that intimate moment.
“Hehehe…”
Lily, on the side, looked at everything before her and unconsciously drooled a bit. Girls sticking together like this was truly the best.
Seeing Lily staring blankly, Bailian gently pulled out a candy from her pocket and handed it to Lily.
“Huh!”
Lily was somewhat surprised. It seemed Bailian thought she was hungry, so she gave her candy. Lily wiped her mouth and accepted the candy from Bailian.
“Thank you!”
Lily didn’t really need it, but she still expressed her gratitude. Bailian seemed aloof, but unexpectedly thoughtful.
Upon hearing Lily’s thanks, Bailian seemed to slightly lift the corners of her mouth, though no one else seemed to notice.
After some time of exchanging pleasantries, the group began to consider their next move. From Yinyue’s account, they learned about the corruption in the Huihuang City’s Ability User Association. They were likely to be wanted soon.
Staying in hotels was out of the question now, and sleeping on the streets was even more dangerous.
“I happen to know a place where we can stay for now,” Yinyue said with a slight smile to the group.
The others weren’t sure what place Yinyue was referring to, but they had no other options at the moment. They had to go with Yinyue’s suggestion.
