Chapter 326 The Mysterious Man (2)
Yi Fanxi, what's he doing here too?!
Before Yan Zuozuo could react, she saw Yi Fanxi had already walked up to her, still with a cold expression.
Yan Zuozuo was willing to bet that the gasping sound she had just heard was definitely not an illusion.
Yi Fanxi's beauty is absolutely captivating and alluring!
"What's wrong with your assistant? You're like a leech, always here!" Stephen yelled at Yi Fanxi.
Yi Fanxi ignored him, ordered a drink, and sat there quietly without saying a word.
Stephen was blatantly ignored, and his eyebrows twitched with anger. "Hey, I'm talking to you, don't you understand?"
Yi Fanxi seemed annoyed by his noise, giving him a cold glare, and Stephen actually shut up obediently. It took him a while to come to his senses, blinking in disbelief. He had actually been startled by just one look from him? Was he kidding?
"you……"
“Alright, he’s someone I just arranged to come with us. Is President Stephen unwilling to sit with us?” Yan Zuozuo quickly spoke up, although she was also curious as to why Yi Fanxi was here.
Upon hearing this, Stephen chuckled, "How could that be? I'd love to be glued to you, Zuo Zuo, every day." As he spoke, he winked at Yan Zuo Zuo, then hummed, "But it just means there's another third wheel, which is annoying."
Yan Zuozuo was speechless; this Stephen was truly "frank."
In contrast to Stephen and Yan Zuozuo's heated debate, Yi Fanxi remained unchanged, taking a small sip of his wine with an indifferent expression. His aloof demeanor and captivatingly handsome face stirred desire in the women around him.
"When I came over just now, I saw two groups of people nearby." This casual remark immediately silenced the incessantly chattering Stephen. "What two groups of people?"
Yan Zuozuo also tensed up: "Do you know who it is?"
"If I'm not mistaken, one group was sent by President Stephen's wife, and the other group..."
Yan Zuozuo and Stephen looked at him simultaneously: "Who is it?"
"The person who invited you to interview them."
Yan Zuozuo stiffened, looking at Yi Fanxi in astonishment. "Why were they observing me from the shadows?"
Yi Fanxi took a leisurely sip of wine: "The other party has an illustrious background and is not someone that ordinary people can meet. Naturally, we need to observe you closely to avoid any accidents."
Hearing Yi Fanxi's explanation, Yan Zuozuo breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't related to Chi Moqing, she was at ease. Actually, before coming to Germany, she had hesitated, worried that she would become a burden to Chi Moqing and cause him unnecessary trouble.
Yan Zuozuo took a sip of wine to calm her nerves, then asked Yi Fanxi, "Do you know who the other person is?"
"No need to rush, you'll see him tomorrow." He took a sip of his drink, glanced indifferently at Stephen, then at Yan Zuozuo, finally put the money on the bar, got up, and left.
Stephen felt a chill run down his spine. How could an assistant have such a powerful aura? In front of him, he actually had the illusion that he was at the mercy of someone else. Yes, yes, it was just an illusion, it must be an illusion!
Yan Zuozuo was unaware of how much public outrage she had caused by being surrounded by two incredibly handsome men. She was simply lost in thought, pondering who she was going to meet the next day.
Not far away, a stylishly dressed woman with fair skin and delicate features looked at Yan Zuozuo with great interest, then put down her cup and said slowly, "This girl is quite interesting. I like her."
The man sitting next to her looked at her with affection: "We've seen the person, shouldn't we go back now?"
The woman raised her delicately drawn eyebrows and gave him a coquettish look. "You've finally come out to sit with me, stay a little longer."
Just as the man was about to speak, his phone rang. He smiled apologetically at the woman, took the phone, and went outside to answer it.
The woman sat quietly to one side, growing more and more fond of Yan Zuozuo the more she looked at him.
Not long after, the man returned and whispered a few words in her ear. The woman frowned in displeasure and said, "If you want to go back, you can go back. I'll be back in a while."
"It's not safe here."
"What's unsafe about it? They don't know me. You should leave and not bother me."
The man felt a pang of resentment, but seeing that the woman was determined not to leave, he could only sigh helplessly, instruct his bodyguards to protect her, and reluctantly left.
At the bar, Yan Zuozuo and Stephen sat for a while longer. Seeing that it was getting late, she decided to go back to her room to rest. It seemed that no matter where she was, without Chi Moqing by her side, she always felt lonely and desolate.
Seeing that she was about to leave, the woman stood up as well, but leaving like that would certainly seem abrupt. She rolled her eyes, waved to the bodyguard behind her, and a sly smile crept onto her lips.
Stephen followed Yan Zuozuo, chattering incessantly like a little eunuch. Yan Zuozuo was speechless. "I'm going back to rest. You should go back too. No need to see me off."
“I’m just worried about you. There are so many bad people around these days, what if… Hey, hey, what are you doing? Who are you? Let me go…” Before Stephen could finish speaking, he was grabbed by the arm and dragged out, yelling, “Do you know who I am? You’ve got some nerve, daring to kidnap me… Ugh, get your filthy hands off me…”
Yan Zuozuo tensed up as soon as she saw Stephen being led away. She called for security and chased after them. Who was so bold as to arrest Stephen?
But after calling for a long time, she didn't see a single security guard come after her. By the time she chased after him, Stephen was gone. She was frantic, clutching her phone to call the police.
Suddenly, her vision blurred, and she was bumped hard. Her phone fell to the ground, and the person who bumped into her picked it up and ran away.
Yan Zuozuo was taken aback. Her phone contained all the text messages Chi Moqing had sent her. She didn't know when it started, but she had gotten into the habit of saving all the text messages he sent her, and would take them out to look at them whenever she missed him.
It should be said that this phone is the embodiment of her feelings for Chi Moqing, and she cannot lose it no matter what.
"Give me back my phone! Don't run!" Yan Zuozuo shouted and took off after him. Even though she knew she couldn't outrun the thief, she couldn't give up.
She shouted and chased after him, but not a single passerby was willing to help. She ran for what seemed like an eternity, and just as she was about to catch the thief, he realized the situation was dire and immediately dropped the phone and ran away.
Yan Zuozuo only cared about the phone. She ran over and carefully picked it up, then stopped chasing the thief. Unexpectedly, a figure rushed out of the alley at that moment. Before Yan Zuozuo could even see how the person did it, the thief was knocked to the ground.
After checking her phone and confirming it was okay, Yan Zuozuo put it away. Looking over there, she was startled to see that the thief had somehow acquired a knife and was pointing it blatantly at the person who had helped her.
"You dare to break the law in broad daylight!" the woman snapped, showing no fear whatsoever. But Yan Zuozuo was worried sick. The thief, his eyes red, glared angrily at the woman. "Where did you come from, you filthy woman! If you know what's good for you, get lost!" he said, deliberately brandishing his knife.
Yan Zuozuo gasped sharply, then looked at the woman with her back to her. She was tall and slender with a great figure. But she was too perfect; what if a thief could take her down with a single finger?
Because the woman was wearing a baseball cap and oversized sunglasses, Yan Zuozuo couldn't see her face clearly, but her round chin was very pretty. She figured that women like this must love beauty. What if a thief accidentally scratched her face?
She looked around, trying to figure out how to help the woman. Just then, there was a fruit stand to her right, and without thinking, she grabbed two apples and threw them to her.
"Ah!" With a cry of surprise from the thief, the woman executed a beautiful over-the-shoulder throw, slamming him to the ground. She grabbed his arms with both hands and pinned one leg against his back. The thief begged for mercy in pain. He had tried to resist, but the woman's strength was terrifying; he couldn't break free. "Grandma, I was wrong, please forgive me..."
"Spare you? Unless I'm blind! Scum like you deserves to be torn to pieces and sent to the police station!"
The thief was startled and timidly said, "That's illegal... Ah!" Then came a scream.
"Mind your own business!" The woman looked up at Yan Zuozuo. "Tell me, what should we do with this scumbag?"
"Huh?" Yan Zuozuo was taken aback. She looked at the thief's pleading expression and licked her lips, saying, "Never mind, my phone wasn't stolen anyway, let him go."
The woman clearly disagreed: "Just let him go like that?" Seeing that Yan Zuozuo had no intention of changing his mind, she slapped the thief on the back of his back. "Get lost! Don't let me see you again!"
Of course, out of Yan Zuozuo's sight, the thief had already been secretly dealt with by the woman's bodyguards hiding in the shadows.
Yan Zuozuo walked to the woman's side: "Thank you for just now."
The woman brushed the dirt off her clothes and said nonchalantly, "It's nothing, I should be thanking you."
Yan Zuozuo was taken aback, then heard the woman burst into laughter, "Girl, you're so cute. I'll tell you a secret, if you hadn't run into this clueless thing, I wouldn't have had a chance to show off my skills. Thanks."
Yan Zuozuo's lips twitched, she gave an awkward laugh, and turned to leave. But before she had taken two steps, the woman called out to her, "Hey, it's fate that we met, don't be in such a hurry to leave."
Yan Zuozuo's heart skipped a beat, wondering what this woman was up to. This was Germany; meeting a fellow countryman should have been a pleasant surprise, but this was a crucial moment, and she trusted no one, lest she cause trouble for Chi Moqing.
"Hey girl, didn't I just save your life?" the woman said heartily as she walked up to her.
Yan Zuozuo tilted her head to look at her. "Is that so? If she hadn't appeared just now, she would have left after taking the phone. Are you sure it was her who saved her?"
"So what do you want?" She looked at the woman warily. Had she fallen into some kind of trap? She subconsciously glanced at her ring and wallet.
"You should repay kindness, so you should treat me to a meal," the woman said matter-of-factly.
Yan Zuozuo forced a smile: "I'll give you the money, go eat by yourself..."
"Hey? Girl, you seem scared of me. Don't worry, I'm not a bad guy." The woman chuckled and took off her oversized sunglasses. "To be honest, this is the first time I've ever seen a girl as brave as you. You chased the thief for nine blocks, literally nine whole blocks! Amazing!"
Yan Zuozuo's face darkened. Oh no, could this woman be in cahoots with the thief? Should she get rid of the dumbest one in the group and leave herself to fight her alone?
