Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 628: The Zhan Family’s Son Comes of Age
Yan Yu utilized all his connections and found the girl’s whereabouts by the time it was dark.
He happily returned to Zhan Yunxiao’s residence to share the good news with him.
"Zhan, I’ve found Xia Luo."
"What whereabouts?" Zhan Yunxiao frowned.
"It’s Xia Luo!" Yan Yu said.
Zhan Yunxiao’s face turned dark: "I’m asking you what whereabouts? Where is she?"
Yan Yu realized they were not on the same page with Zhan.
He thought about what he said and indeed found some ambiguity, so he quickly explained: "The Xia Luo I mentioned is the girl’s name. Didn’t you ask me to find someone? I found her, and it turns out her name is Xia Luo. Isn’t it similar to the name of a movie protagonist? But, it’s not that ’Xia Lou’, it’s Xia like summer, and Luo as in graceful."
"Xia Luo?" Zhan Yunxiao frowned and murmured quietly: "Xiaxia?"
Yan Yu felt awkward, thinking to himself that they were already on nickname terms so quickly, so intimate, yet claimed there’s nothing between them?
"Miss Xia lives in the southern part of the city. You know, it’s the area our company is about to acquire and develop. Miss Xia is quite famous there; I found out as soon as I asked around. We blocked her there, caught her right away, and she’s been detained. Do you want to go over or have her brought here? It’s better if you go; someone like her doesn’t fit in here."
Yan Yu thought of Xia Luo’s outfit, which really clashed with their boss’s style. He had thoughts but found it hard to accept there was any relationship between them.
"Bring her here. Since she’s not suitable to come here, do you think I’m suitable to go to her place?" Zhan Yunxiao asked.
Yan Yu: "..."
"I’m not thinking straight, I’ll bring her over right away."
Yan Yu slapped his forehead and immediately pulled out his phone to make a call.
An hour and a half later, Xia Luo was brought in. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
The little girl was quite stubborn, and the two men couldn’t control her, bringing her here amidst a tussle.
As soon as she arrived, she kicked over a plush sofa in the living room.
"Take it easy; this is expensive, can you afford it?" Yan Yu quickly stabilized the sofa, angrily scolding Xia Luo.
Xia Luo’s mouth was still taped, so she couldn’t speak, only make muffled sounds.
But her eyes glared viciously at Yan Yu, as if she wanted to devour him.
Yan Yu felt a chill down his spine from her gaze and quickly told the two bodyguards, "Tie her up; I feel like she’ll turn into a wolf and leap at me any second."
"She’s tied up," the bodyguard said.
Yan Yu then realized she was indeed tied up, with her hands bound behind her.
"Good she’s tied up; tear off the tape on her mouth. How else can she speak?"
The bodyguard glanced at Zhan Yunxiao.
Yan Yu realized he’d overstepped and quickly asked Zhan Yunxiao, "Zhan, should we tear off the tape?"
"Tear it off, and you all leave," Zhan Yunxiao said.
Yan Yu quickly said, "That’s not possible. What if this girl tries to get rough with you? She’s quite strong, like Popeye after spinach. We can’t let such a dangerous person be alone with you."
"Do you think I can’t handle a little girl?" Zhan Yunxiao retorted.
Yan Yu felt awkward, recalling the rumors of his six-pack abs online.
Being able to develop six-pack abs at twenty, indeed, isn’t ordinary.
"I was overthinking, but we’ll be right outside. If anything happens, remember to shout," Yan Yu said as he led the bodyguards out, not forgetting to remind him before leaving.
Zhan Yunxiao ignored him and walked over to Xia Luo, squatting down to look at her.
After the bodyguards released Xia Luo, she collapsed to the ground, her hands still tied and her mouth still taped.
She could neither move nor speak.
Seeing Zhan Yunxiao crouch down with deep eyes to look at her, she got a bit frightened and couldn’t help but struggle.
But she couldn’t move or run, and beads of sweat broke out on her forehead in anxiety.
"Why did you set me up?"
Zhan Yunxiao tore off the tape from Xia Luo’s mouth, demanding grimly.
"Ah, it hurts."
The tape pulled on her lips and Xia Luo cried out in pain.
"Answer my question," Zhan Yunxiao demanded again.
After her mouth recovered, Xia Luo struggled a bit and asked, "Can you untie me first? If you untie me, I’ll answer your question."
"No, if I untie you, you’ll run," Zhan Yunxiao asserted.
Xia Luo widened her eyes, looking at him incredulously.
How did he know what she was thinking?
"So, tell me obediently and I’ll release you," Zhan Yunxiao said again.
"Alright, I’ll tell you. Actually, you offended someone, and someone found me. They said if I just take your picture, they’ll pay me. I was so broke, desperate for money, I agreed of course. I didn’t expect it to be so easy; I originally thought I had to knock you out. But instead, you fell for it so easily."
"Who paid you?" Zhan Yunxiao asked again.
Xia Luo shook her head: "I haven’t met him; he contacted me online. Initially, I thought he was a scammer, but later he gave me an advance payment. Once I had the money, I believed him. It turned out he wasn’t a scammer, as after I posted your picture online, he paid me. I’m sorry, I know I shouldn’t have plotted against you. But it didn’t seem to affect you much; instead, it boosted your popularity. Maybe a talent agent will discover you and make you a star. So can you consider that I helped you and let me go?"
Xia Luo showed a pleading look, blinking at him to appear vulnerable.
Honestly, Xia Luo was quite beautiful.
Her face was small and delicate, with a pair of big, bright eyes.
However, she probably didn’t have a great life growing up, as she seemed malnourished. Her hair was dull and her skin a bit rough, obviously not well-maintained.
If she begged like this to other men, maybe they would soften.
No matter what, her facial features were still very beautiful.
Unfortunately, for someone like Zhan Yunxiao, who had seen beauties all his life, and was himself a beauty, her intentional gestures had no effect.
"No, you should know what kind of person I am. Becoming a star is not a good thing for me."
"Then what must I do for you to release me?" Xia Luo angrily questioned.
Zhan Yunxiao gazed at her deeply.
Under his gaze, Xia Luo felt guilty and could only admit: "Okay, I admit it was my fault, I’m sorry. If you want to call the police, do it! I know someone like you isn’t short on money; you just want to vent. If you send me to prison, I have no complaints."
"I won’t send you to prison, but you need to behave," Zhan Yunxiao said.
Xia Luo asked confusedly: "What do you mean?"
Zhan Yunxiao ignored her, untied the rope around her, and rolled up her sleeves.
