Quick Transmigration: Why did you provoke him? He's love-struck!

Chapter 284 Thorny Rose (41)

Yan Zhen grabbed Song Yi by the ear and led him to the storage room.

Two bodyguards were guarding outside the storage room. When they saw their employer being dragged over by Yan Zhen by the ear like a dog, and not daring to resist at all, the two men exchanged a glance and immediately looked away.

When Yan Zhen asked them to open the door, one of the bodyguards did not hesitate and quickly opened the door.

The storage room was dimly lit. As soon as Yan Zhen opened the door, he saw Qi Su bound hand and foot, beaten black and blue, with his mouth taped shut, lying on the ground unable to move.

Hearing someone come in, Qi Su struggled to lift his head and look at her with his eyes, which were so swollen they could barely open a slit.

"Qi Su!" Yan Zhen quickly released his grip on Song Yi's ear, stepped forward to help Qi Su sit up, ripped off the tape from his mouth, and then untied the rope for him.

While she was doing these things, Song Yi watched from the side with a sullen face.

Yan Zhen untied Qi Su and checked his limbs to make sure that he had only suffered superficial injuries and no bone damage. Only then did he feel a little relieved.

"Qi Su, what's going on? Why are you here?" Yan Zhen asked. She had to get to the bottom of this in front of Song Yi today, otherwise she wouldn't be able to go back to school, and Qi Su wouldn't be able to leave the Song family home today.

Qi Su also came to his senses and realized that he had most likely been tricked. His lips were swollen, and he slurred the whole story.

This morning, Qi Su received a text message asking for help.

The text message was sent under the name of "Lin Xun's friend," saying that Lin Xun had been targeted by a spoiled rich kid at school, who kidnapped her and imprisoned her as his plaything.

Lin Xun was desperate and had no one to turn to. She finally managed to get a chance to send a message to this "friend" asking for help, saying that Qi Su was so smart that he would definitely be able to find a way to help her escape.

At the end of the text message, this "friend" left the Song family's address and repeatedly told Qi Su not to call the police.

Otherwise, not only would Lin Xun be killed, but he himself might also be implicated. After all, the seemingly accidental car accident that happened to him before the New Year was orchestrated by this playboy rich kid.

Qi Su was anxious and disregarded his own safety. He spent several hours circling the huge Song family manor, and finally set his sights on the garbage truck.

Taking advantage of the garbage truck's inattention, he quietly sneaked into the garbage bin and followed it in.

After Qi Su finished speaking, Yan Zhen fell into deep thought.

Qi Su looked at Yan Zhen, who was unharmed, and then at Song Yi, whose face had a good slap mark and whose ears were red from being pulled. He couldn't bring himself to ask the question that was on the tip of his tongue, "Did he imprison you?"

No matter how you look at it, Song Yi seems more like the one who was abused.

“You’ve been used.” Yan Zhen quickly sorted out his thoughts and said to Qi Su, “Song Yi is my friend. I stayed at his house because the school was under renovation and I couldn’t stay at school during the holidays. I didn’t want to go back to Wang Jianchun’s house. There was no imprisonment involved, and I didn’t send any requests for help to anyone.”

Qi Su frowned: "Who did this? Why would that person do such a thing?"

Yan Zhen asked, "Would it be convenient for me to see the text message?"

Speaking of this, Qi Su glared at Song Yi: "He smashed my phone, and the text messages were sent through a virtual number, so we can't trace them."

Song Yi, who had been looking embarrassed, immediately glared back defiantly after Qi Su's glare: "What are you looking at! It's just a broken phone, I'll give you ten of them!"

"I can compensate you for the phone, but you had someone crush my foot and fracture it, causing me to miss my winter break tutoring classes. How are you going to compensate me for that?"

Song Yi: "That's what you deserve! Who told you to keep bothering Lin Xun!"

Qi Su was furious: "You..."

"Furthermore, you sneaked into my house today, which is trespassing. If I call the police, you will be held legally responsible. Do you want to be detained and have a criminal record?"

Qi Su was furious. He staggered to his feet and said, "Lin Xun and I have been friends since childhood. Our interactions are just normal friendships. There's no question of me clinging to her! And who are you to her? Why would you send someone to injure me over something like this!"

"Stop pretending to be a good guy. We're all men, do you think I can't see through your little schemes? You're like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken, you're up to no good!" Song Yi raised his chin, his eyes defiant. "Who I am to her is none of your business. In short, she's much closer to me! A thousand times, ten thousand times closer than to you!"

"You...you're being unreasonable! You're just making trouble!!" Qi Su was furious. He wasn't good at arguing to begin with, and with his injury, his face hurt even more when he got angry. He grabbed Yan Zhen's wrist: "Xiao Xun, don't be friends with someone who's so unreasonable! Come on, I'll take you back to school."

Upon seeing Qi Su's action, Song Yi immediately bristled like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He rushed forward and fiercely slapped Qi Su's hand away, shouting, "Get your filthy hands off her! Don't touch her!"

Qi Su gasped in shock after being hit, his anger rising, and he rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight Song Yi.

"Shut up, both of you!" Yan Zhen grabbed one of them with each hand and stood between the two of them. "If you two start fighting, the person who brought Qi Su here will be secretly happy."

Upon hearing this, Song Yi dropped his fighting stance and asked, "Have you guessed who did it?"

“I have a suspect, but I’m not sure.” Yan Zhen put away his thoughtful expression. “However, he will probably come again—Qi Su, you go back first. I’ll give you an explanation after I’ve figured out what happened here today.”

Upon hearing this, Qi Su subconsciously looked at Song Yi and said worriedly, "Aren't you coming with me? School is about to start anyway, I'll take you back to school... It's not safe for you to stay here."

Upon hearing him indirectly insult him, Song Yi bared his teeth at him: "Kid, are you looking for a beating?"

He had barely finished speaking when he received a slap on the forehead.

Yan Zhen didn't pull his hand back after slapping Song Yi. He pressed Song Yi's head and turned his face to the side, speaking to Qi Su: "Don't worry, I'm really fine. I'm sorry for troubling you today."

Seeing her resolute attitude, Qi Su didn't press the matter further: "It was my recklessness that caused you trouble by doing something good with good intentions."

After they had talked things out, Yan Zhen took some money from Song Yi to compensate Qi Su and had his driver take him home.

After seeing Qi Su off, Yan Zhen walked towards the main living room.

Song hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping himself, and followed closely behind.

He was following too closely, and when Yan Zhen, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, Song Yi almost bumped into her back.

Yan Zhen turned around, and Song Yi immediately stood up straight, his face full of guilt.

Before Yan Zhen could speak, he interrupted, "I'm sorry!"

"Oh?" Yan Zhenrao asked, "Where did you go wrong?"

"I shouldn't have gotten angry with you before I even knew the facts." Song Yi's expression was incredibly sincere as he said this.

Yan Zhen asked, "Can I go back to school now?"

Song Yi looked hesitant.

Yan Zhen clicked his tongue impatiently.

Song Yi quickly said, "You can go back, but you have to promise me that you won't see Qi Su again, and you're not allowed to talk to him if he comes looking for you."

Yan Zhen frowned slightly, then quickly adjusted his expression: "Okay, I will keep my distance from him."

Song Yi then cheered up: "Then I'll take you back to school."

"No rush," Yan Zhen said. "Let's leave tomorrow."

She wants to find out who is stirring up trouble before she leaves.
