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

Chapter 283 Thorny Rose (40)

Yan Zhen was surprised. Why would Qi Su call her at this time?

She swiped to answer the call: "Qi Su?"

Qi Su seemed relieved upon hearing her voice, then asked anxiously, "Xiao Xun, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, why do you ask?"

Qi Su lowered his voice: "I know your current situation. Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you. Is there anyone watching you? Can you move around freely? If so, sneak to the garbage collection point at the Song family manor. I'll be waiting for you here."

Yan Zhen's heart skipped a beat, and he lowered his voice involuntarily: "You're at the Song family manor?"

"Correct."

"What are you here for?"

"I'll get you out of here," Qi Su said. "Don't panic. I came in with the garbage truck. The Song family hasn't noticed anything unusual yet. You sneaked over here, and I'll take you out."

"..." Yan Zhen did not answer immediately, his mind racing.

How did Qi Su know that he was at the Song Family Manor?

Who told him?

He even sneaked in without warning.

Judging from his words, it seemed he thought he was being held under house arrest.

Song Yi already suspected that Qi Su had ulterior motives towards her. If he found out that Qi Su had secretly sneaked in to take her away, Qi Su would be beaten to death.

No!

Qi Su must leave immediately.

Thinking of this, Yan Zhen covered her phone and went into the bathroom. After locking the door, she tried to speak calmly, "Qi Su, have you misunderstood something? I was at the Song Family Manor, but it was because a friend invited me to stay at his house temporarily. I'm going back to school tomorrow..."

"Xiao Xun, don't lie to me!" Qi Su's voice was very tense. "I already know that the car accident last time wasn't an accident. Song Yi sent someone to hit me. I know you're saying this because you're worried about my safety. Don't be afraid, I will definitely get you out of here!"

Yan Zhen: "...No, I'm really fine. If something had happened, would I still be able to answer your call? You should go home. Trespassing is no small matter. It would be terrible if you got caught. Let's have dinner together tomorrow when I get back to school."

Seeing her so confident expression, Qi Su couldn't help but doubt the distress message he had received: "Really?"

"Absolutely true." Yan Zhen was practically swearing an oath.

Although she didn't know who brought Qi Su here, she had to persuade him to leave before Song Yi found out.

"Okay..." Qi Su hesitated before agreeing.

But as soon as he finished speaking, a loud shout came from the other end of the phone, followed by the butler's voice.

"Catch him."

Yan Zhen's heart tightened.

Oh no, we've been found out.

She hung up the phone and hurried out of the room, just in time to bump into Song Yi, who was coming out of the master bedroom next door.

With just one glance, Yan Zhen immediately understood the impending storm on Song Yi's face—he knew that Qi Su had secretly sneaked into the manor.

Song Yi clearly understood Yan Zhen's expression. His gaze fell on Yan Zhen's phone, and before she could explain, he snatched the phone from her hand.

Opening the contacts, the latest call was from Qi Su, made a minute ago.

Yan Zhen was about to explain, but Song Yi ignored her, put her phone in his pocket, and said to the bodyguards patrolling the corridor as he quickly went downstairs, "Keep an eye on her, don't let her come down."

Yan Zhen: "..."

It’s over.

Yan Zhen was locked in the second bedroom by the bodyguard.

Remembering how Song Yi had already had someone run over Qi Su with a car after she had only exchanged WeChat contacts with him, Song Yi now saw Qi Su's visit as nothing less than a provocation.

Given Song Yi's limited capacity for tolerance, wouldn't he be so ruthless as to kill him?

Yan Zhen was anxious, but the bodyguards stood guard at the door like guardian deities, preventing her from getting out. Her phone had also been confiscated, so she couldn't explain to Song Yi…

For a moment, she felt a sense of frustration and helplessness.

Half an hour passed in anxious waiting before Song Yi finally returned.

The door to the second bedroom opened, and Song Yi walked in.

Yan Zhen sat on the single sofa, trying her best to appear calm—the more anxious she seemed at this moment, the more Song Yi would think she cared about Qi Su, which was not good for either her or Qi Su.

"What's going on?" Yan Zhen asked. "Did Qi Su say anything?"

Song Yi looked at her coldly: "What did you say?"

"Explain why he came to the Song family."

"Didn't you send him a message asking for help, saying you were being held captive and couldn't get out, and asking him to come and rescue you?" Song Yi said sarcastically. "Now that he's here, why are you acting like nothing happened?"

Yan Zhen frowned: "It wasn't me. I didn't send him any help requests."

"You mean Qi Su guessed that you were at the Song family's house, guessed that his car accident was caused by someone I hired, and then found the address himself and came to the Song family's house to save you?" Song Yi's face was gloomy. "Lin Xun, your brother Qi Su risked his life to save you, and now that the truth has come out, you've washed your hands of it all. Isn't that a bit disloyal?"

Life-threatening?

Yan Zhen's heart sank: "What did you do to him?"

"Killed."

Yan Zhen's expression changed slightly.

Although he knew that Song Yi's words might have been partly out of spite, Qi Su was definitely not going to get away with it now.

She took a deep breath, trying her best to remain calm: "Don't be angry, there's something fishy about this, let's analyze it..."

"Don't be angry? He's provoking me right under my nose, and I can't be angry?" Song Yi roared. "He's trying to steal my girl, he's got a death wish! I'll grant him his wish!"

Yan Zhen: "Song Yi, you..."

"Stop making excuses, you can't escape this! Half an hour ago you used sweet words to coax me into letting you go back to school, and now you're showing your true colors! You're not going back to school, what's the point of studying! You're not leaving the manor for even a second..."

Unable to bear it any longer, Yan Zhen raised his hand and slapped Song Yi across the face.

Song Yi, who was still hurling insults, suddenly stopped.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, he became even angrier: "You hit me! You're in the wrong, yet you still hit me!"

Yan Zhen slapped him again with his other hand.

Song Yi was furious, and roared, "Lin Xun, try hitting me again!"

Without hesitation, Yan Zhen slapped him twice more, once with each hand.

Song Yi: "..."

Yan Zhen's palm throbbed slightly from the slap, but she suppressed her anger and said, "Are you calm now? Can you listen to me finish what I have to say?"

Song Yi: "..."

He didn't speak, his face full of stubbornness and refusal to communicate.

Seeing this, Yan Zhen grabbed his ear and dragged him downstairs.

Song Yi was in so much pain that she felt like her ear was going to fall off, so she had no choice but to stagger downstairs with Yan Zhen.

The two went down to the living room, and Yan Zhen asked the butler who was waiting there, "Where is Qi Su?"

The butler subconsciously glanced at Song Yi, whose ears had been pulled red, but before he could get any instructions, Yan Zhen yelled at him, making him tremble and look away.

"Don't look at him, answer me, where is Qi Su!"

The butler hesitated for a moment, then pointed to the east side of the manor: "In the storeroom."
