Return of the King, Dominating the City-Chapter 1373 - 1358: Plot Within a Plot

After a little while, Xu Ying appeared in Rumeng’s line of sight, sporting two ponytails.

Rumeng walked up to Xu Ying and said, "Excuse me, could you lend me your phone for a moment?"

"Huh?"

Xu Ying glanced at the rather good-looking woman in front of her and asked, "Where’s your phone?"

"My phone was stolen, and I need to call my family to inform them. It’s just one call, can I?" Rumeng pleaded.

"Alright, okay."

Xu Ying was inherently a kind-hearted girl, plus they were in a hospital, a private one, where security had strengthened since the last incident, so she wasn’t afraid of encountering a scammer.

Thus, Xu Ying handed her phone to Rumeng.

Rumeng nodded gratefully, then took the phone and stepped aside.

Xu Ying just watched Rumeng without following her, aware that phone calls like this were personal affairs, and following someone would be intrusive.

Rumeng’s fingers quickly navigated Xu Ying’s contacts, pulling out a number she had memorized and swiftly adding it to the phone’s firewall blacklist, before dialing a number.

"Mom, my phone was stolen. If someone sends you any money transfer requests, don’t believe them!"

After saying a couple of casual phrases, Rumeng handed the phone back to Xu Ying.

"Thanks a lot!"

Rumeng flashed Xu Ying a sweet smile, then turned and walked away.

Xu Ying pocketed her phone and headed upstairs.

Not long after Rumeng walked away, she pulled a phone from her pocket and sent out a message.

At this time, Song Yun was in the dormitory playing DOTA with Xiao Hui and Big Head when he heard his phone ring and picked it up for a look.

It was a text message from an unknown number.

"Xu Ying is now with us. If you don’t want anything to happen to her, appear at XXX community, building XXX, room XXX within half an hour."

Song Yun was stunned, his first reaction being it might be a prank, considering Xu Ying’s current workplace, a private hospital, and Xu Hongxing probably had already arranged someone to protect Xu Ying after the last incident.

Therefore, Song Yun immediately called Xu Ying.

But...

"Sorry, the user you are calling is turned off."

Song Yun’s eyebrows furrowed; immediately, he stood up and said to Xiao Hui, "I’m heading out for a bit, let’s play later."

"Alright!"

Xiao Hui noticed the odd look on Song Yun’s face but said nothing more.

Song Yun left the dormitory, hurrying straight to the private hospital.

Meanwhile, at the private hospital.

"Yingying, there’s a parcel for you at the nearby park pickup point! They asked me to notify you to pick it up."

A nurse informed Xu Ying.

"Oh, got it!"

Saying this, Xu Ying put on a coat and headed downstairs, walking outside.

Five minutes later.

Song Yun arrived downstairs at the private hospital.

Song Yun called Xu Ying again, but her phone was still off.

Song Yun disregarded everything and went straight up to look for someone.

"Where’s Yingying?"

Song Yun went into the nursing department to ask.

"Someone told her about a parcel delivery. She went to pick it up."

Xu Ying’s colleague replied.

Song Yun’s expression changed; his mind suddenly dawned on the possibility that someone intentionally sent Xu Ying to pick up the parcel to surprise and capture her!

Otherwise, why turn off her phone just to pick up a parcel?

Song Yun quickly rushed downstairs and dialed the number that messaged him.

The phone rang for a long while without anyone answering.

Song Yun’s expression became grimmer. Scanning the address in the message, he sprinted out of the hospital.

Ten minutes later, Song Yun arrived at the location mentioned in the message.

Song Yun knocked gently on the door.

With a creak, the door opened by itself.

Frowning, Song Yun pushed the door open and stepped inside.

It was a suite, probably over a hundred square meters in size, with decent decor.

Song Yun expanded his senses fully, attuned to any slight movements around him.

There was no one in the living room of the suite!

Song Yun moved toward a nearby bedroom, as there seemed to be some noise coming from inside.

Gently, Song Yun pushed the bedroom door open.

Indeed, on the bed lay a person.

Their back was turned to him, both hands and feet tied up, hair in two ponytails, curled up in bed, remarkably resembling Xu Ying from behind.

"Yingying!"

Song Yun rushed over to turn over this "Xu Ying."

Upon turning, Song Yun was taken aback.

"Why is it you!"

Song Yun was stunned to see the woman before him with tape over her mouth.

Rewind the time ten minutes.

Shi Wenxi was chairing a student council meeting, undoubtedly being the biggest figure in the meeting.

Shi Wenxi thoroughly enjoyed the feeling, speaking while everyone below listened intently, it was indescribably exhilarating.

At that moment, Shi Wenxi felt something vibrate in his pocket.

Shi Wenxi thought it was his phone, but upon checking, he realized it seemed to be Rumeng’s phone.

Being human means having curiosity, and Shi Wenxi’s curiosity was piqued upon seeing the notification on Rumeng’s phone. Noticing it was sent by Song Yun, Shi Wenxi decisively opened the message.

"Come to XXX community, building XXX, room XXX. I’m here, I want to clarify things between us. Once it’s clarified, I won’t bother you anymore!"

Reading the message, Shi Wenxi’s face darkened. He promptly dialed Song Yun’s number, but the call was met with, "The user you are calling is turned off."

Holding Rumeng’s phone, although Rumeng was merely Shi Wenxi’s tool for relieving boredom, she was still his tool, and Song Yun treating his tool like this was intolerable for Shi Wenxi.

"Bastard!"

Shi Wenxi was worried Rumeng might actually go find Song Yun, and if Song Yun resorted to force, Rumeng wouldn’t be able to resist!

Therefore, Shi Wenxi decisively stood up, suspended the meeting, and left the conference room.

Time returns to normal.

Song Yun, staring at the woman bound tightly, exclaimed, "Rumeng, why is it you!?"

Rumeng’s eyes flashed with humiliation, Song Yun frowned, tearing off the tape over Rumeng’s mouth.

At that moment.

Song Yun felt someone approach.

Song Yun turned around, seeing a man behind him.

A man filled with anger.

Shi Wenxi.
