Super Soldier King

Chapter 114: Zhao Ya is Missing

"Yeah, a couple of days ago." Li Hao replied, "Laodie also asked what you have been doing. I didn't know how to answer him and said you've only been at Tian Ya Conglomerate doing security detail. I remembered you had some such work, right? "

Ye Qian smiled slightly, then said, "Luckily, you remembered. If you said some other nonsense, I wouldn't know how to explain to Laodie when I go back." Ye Qian paused for a little while, then continued, "I already had someone find me a room for Laodie and little Xue to move in to. Laodie's already getting on the years, he ought to spend his life in comfort. When the time comes that Laodie asks me where I get all this money, you have to come help me out, eldest bro too. You can just say the money came from all three of us and we payed in installments."

"I actually wanted Laodie to come live with me, but he wouldn't budge even if his life depended on it. But second brother, you're resourceful, you'll be able to find a way. But we need to agree on something first. The money for the house, we'll do it like you said, me and eldest brother will help too, otherwise, I'd be helping you cover up a lie."

By now, Li Hao naturally knew quite well that Ye Qian was not just some simple security guard. Otherwise, he would not have been able to give Wang Ping such a precious gift, a genuine Tang Bo Hu, which were no less than a million. Although he did not really know what kind of work Ye Qian did, among brothers, not everything needed to be said plainly. What was most important was trust. He believed in Ye Qian, no matter what he did no harm would come to himself. Moreover, with Ye Qian and Wang Ping currently allied, he trusted Ye Qian even more; because on one side there was familial love, on the other side there was his patron, it was hard to choose a side.

Ye Qian knew what kind of person Li Hao was, so he made no comment. In any case, Ye Qian was not intending to buy an overly large house, just a three bedroom, one living room, hundred square meter one, something that Laodie would be more likely to accept. It wasn't like he wanted to hide anything from Laodie, it's just that, he didn't want Laodie to worry after knowing what he did, so he planned to ease it in little by little, so that it would be more likely for Laodie to accept it.

Li Hao dropped Ye Qian off at the school entrance, before he left, he said smilingly at Ye Qian, "Second Brother, you should retrieve your heart. Eldest Brother and I have already settled down, only you are left. Laodie's greatest wish is for you to hurry up and give him grandchildren."

Ye Qian laughed mischievously, and said, "What can I do? Sometimes, being handsome is also a curse. There are many women in my life, and I have lots of love to give. Whichever woman I end up marrying will be a painful blow to the rest. Ay, call me tender-hearted, I cannot bear to see a woman sad."

Li Hao helplessly stared back blankly, then said, "You're so full of it. When the time comes that the chickens have flown the coop and all the eggs are broken, and you are left with nothing, we'll see how you'll be then."

Ye Qian shrugged indifferently, and said, "That kind of thing always happens to me. Your brother's charm is difficult for others to resist." Then, he walked purposefully towards the school gates.

After entering the school, Ye Qian went straight for his class. Ye Qian didn't know his classmates well, so there weren't many greetings exchanged. But there were a few who were curious about this brute who had only ever taken one class his entire time in school, too daring.

Walking to his seat, he found that Zhao Ya was actually nowhere to be seen, which slightly shocked Ye Qian. Zhao Ya may be a little unruly and headstrong, but she was still a good student, her non-attendance was quite unexpected. Ye Qian was thinking whether or not somebody could have happened to her but class was about to begin, so it wouldn't be good for Ye Qian to leave.

This class was having a political lesson, and the lecturer was an old fogey, not worth his attention, so Ye Qian had not lifted his head the entire class. Bored, he just went to sleep on his desk. Ye Qian by now realized that going to school was not as great as he imagined, to get such an uninteresting class was torturous and made him want to die.

Fortunately, French Language courses were one of the neglected specializations, so its students had quite a bit of freedom and the teachers were totally lax in managing their students. After the bell rang for class to end, like a man who had just been released from prison, Ye Qian quickly bolted.

When Ye Qian got into Qin Yue's office, her head was bowed as she was looking through her students' homework with great concentration. Ye Qian didn't want to bother her, so he discreetly took a seat on a chair at some nondescript corner, who knew women can be so pretty when they were working so earnestly.

About half an hour later, Qin Yue finally finished grading the papers and stretched her body. As soon as she saw Ye Qian, he jumped in surprise, and asked, "When did you get here?"

Ye Qian gave a little smile, then said, "Almost half an hour ago. I saw you were busy, so I didn't disturb you."

Qin Yue looked at Ye Qian somewhat accusingly, then said, "Are you done with your business?"

"Yeah, actually, I just got back and came straight to see you. I really missed you, after not seeing each other for a few days."

Happiness inevitably bloomed within Qin Yue's heart, yet it did not make its presence known in the expression on her face. "Wait for me a bit, I still have a little more to grade, then we can have a meal together." Qin Yue said.

"You're finally asking me out?" Ye Qian asked as he snickered.

"You can say that." Qin Yue said unenthusiastically.

For Qin Yue to say something like that, considering her personality, it made Ye Qian feel pleased. For her to say it like that only meant that her impression of him increased favorably. Ye Qian stayed silent for a moment, then said, "And Zhao Ya? She didn't come to class today."

Qin Yue shook her head and said, "I don't know either. She didn't come home last night, and I couldn't get through to her phone. I already sent someone to check, so we should get news soon."

Ye Qian felt a little uncertain. Ouyang Tianming had just escaped from prison, then Zhao Ya goes missing; he was afraid that Zhao Ya's disappearance had something to do with Ouyang Tianming. Seeing Ye Qian's creased brows, Qin Yue worriedly asked, "What is it? Did something happen to Ya'er?"

"Nothing, nothing." Ye Qian mollifyingly said.

Qin Yue was still unconvinced. Looking at Ye Qian's expression, she was sure something had happened, but she knew Ye Qian only said these things so that she wouldn't worry. She gave a small sound of agreement, then said, "Wait a bit, I have to finish some things first."

"Finish your work first, I'll just step out to make a call." Ye Qian said, feigning a relaxed smile.

Outside Qin Yue's office, Ye Qian quickly fished out his cellphone and dialed Jack's number, as soon as the call pushed through, Ye Qian impatiently asked, "Jack, do you have any news on Ouyang Tianming?"
