Chapter 117 Where Did You Learn That?

Taxi Journey

Jiang Huan was sitting in a daze. 'What just happened? What am I going to do? I need to call Tingzhe he'll make everything better.'

She began searching in her bag for her phone; she threw some things out of her bag and they were strewn over the seats and the floor. Jiang Huan found her phone at the very bottom of her bag and hurriedly called Tang Tingzhe.

Tang Tingzhe: "Hello beautiful, I was just thinking about you. How are you?"

Jiang Huan sobbed: "Tingzhe. I don't know what to do. I feel so lost."

Tang Tingzhe: "Are you crying? Baby what's wrong? Has something happened?"

Jiang Huan sniffed: "I got fired by Dr Li."

Tang Tingzhe: "What?! Why?"

Jiang Huan continued to sob and sniff her voice catching as she spoke: "There was a big... big incident at the hospital. Some random Murong family came to cause trouble for Dr Li. They accused her of messing up their son's surgery or something. Dr Li got angry at me for letting them wait in her office. I tried to explain... I tried to explain that they had said they were Dr Li's acquaintances. That's the only reason why I let them wait; otherwise why would I let them in? Dr Li just wouldn't listen to my explanation."

Tang Tingzhe: "Murong family? Baby, go home and wait for me. I'll be round as soon as I can okay?"

Jiang Huan: "O...Okay. Please hurry Tingzhe. I really need you right now."

Tang Tingzhe: "I will. Don't worry we'll get to the bottom of this; everything will be fine."

Jiang Huan took a steadying breathe: "Okay. I'll see you soon."

Taxi driver: "Miss we've arrived."

Jiang Huan looked out the window and saw her apartment building. She haphazardly collected her belongings and inelegantly shuffled out of the taxi.

The taxi driver watched as Jiang Huan proceeded to struggle to find her keys and then open the door.

The taxi driver then made a call.

Taxi Driver: "Hello Mr Shen."

Shen Xiaosi: "Hello Lou Manchu. How did it go?"

Lou Manchu: "I've just dropped her off now and she's entered her apartment building. She made one call which I've recorded and will send to you shortly."

Shen Xiaosi: "Thank you Manchu, I can always rely on you."

Lou Manchu laughed modestly: "Of course Mr Shen. I'll always give my 120%."

Shen Xiaosi: "I'll call you when there's another job."

Lou Manchu: "I appreciate it Mr Shen. I'll send the audio file now. Bye."

Shen Xiaosi: "Bye."

Ren Residence

Li Xiuying's was just pulling up outside the steps like last time.

Yao Changying: "Daiyu still isn't picking up. Do you think she's still at work?"

Li Xiuying: "No. She's home." She had called Ren Daiyu's work place and found out she hasn't been at work for a few days.

Yao Changying was tapping away on her phone: "Hmm I've just noticed that she hasn't really been messaging in the group either."

Li Xiuying nodded as she made her way to the front door.

Yao Changying: "Well this is a frosty reception."

Li Xiuying rang the door bell.

Li Xiuying: "Too long."

She rang the door bell twice more.

Yao Changying: "Security told them we're here, why are they taking so long? Is Daiyu avoiding us?" She then stepped forward and began to continuously ring the door bell.

After a while they could finally hear someone on the other side of the door.

Yao Changying quickly returned to Li Xiuying's side and pretended to be an elegant and patient lady.

Butler: "Hello Dr Li and Dr Yao, I apologize for taking so long. I'm afraid the young miss is currently indisposed." He then closed the door with his head slightly bowed and his eyes avoiding the fierce glare before him.

Li Xiuying called Ren Daiyu and it went straight to voicemail; "Daiyu we're waiting at the front door. You have 1 minute."

Yao Changying felt a cold shiver when she heard Li Xiuying.

Li Xiuying looked at her watch and watched the second hand tick away.

After 1 minute had passed Li Xiuying put her rucksack on the floor and took out a leather case from it.

Yao Changying peered over Li Xiuying's shoulder and looked at the row of tools in the leather case.

Li Xiuying took 2 of the instruments out and handed the leather case to a slack jawed Yao Changying.

Li Xiuying inserted the tools to the lock on the front door and concentrated on feeling the mechanisms. She maundered the tools a few times waiting for the door to unlock.

CLICK.

Li Xiuying returned her tools to the leather case and placed everything in her bag.She pushed the door open and leisurely entered the house.

Yao Changying: "Where did you learn that?!"

Li Xiuying shrugged a shoulder: "Internet."

Yao Changying: "The internet is a dangerous tool in your hands."

They casually walked through the hallway and began making their way to the stairs. When they started their ascent a butler was coming down the last few stairs. His mind seemed like it was elsewhere. Li Xiuying and Yao Changying happily passed beside him.

Yao Changying: "Hello."

The butler reflexively replied: "Hello Dr Yao and Dr Li."

The butler took a further 5 steps before he froze and quickly turned around. "Dr Yao, Dr Li. Please hold on a moment. You can't go that way." He began chasing after them.

Li Xiuying and Yao Changying continued upstairs paying no attention to the frantic butler.

The butler had just started working a few weeks ago and he had no idea what to do in this situation. 'Is this considered trespassing? Am I allowed to use force to stop Miss Ren's friends?'

The butler ran upstairs to get Senior Ding who was currently with Ren Guiton. He came across some maids on his way to the study.

The butler panted as he spoke "Jiao, Ah Lam. Dr Li and Dr Yao are coming up the stairs. Stop them. I'm getting senior Dong." He then ran towards the study.

The maids looked around in confusion.

Wu Jiao: "What just happened?"

Chan Ah Lam: "Let's go quickly."

The 2 maids rushed to the stairs and saw that Yao Changying and Li Xiuying had almost reached the top of the staircase.

Wu Jiao: "Dr Li and Dr Yao you are not permitted any further."

Li Xiuying continued forward paying no heed.

Wu Jiao and Chan Ah Lam stood in front of Li Xiuying and Yao Changying and prevented them going further.

Yao Changying: "We've just popped by to see Daiyu, no need to be alarmed."

Wu Jiao and Chan Ah Lam looked at Yao Changying incredulously.

Yao Changying looked over at Li Xiuying: "YingYing, they're just trying to do their jobs."

Li Xiuying rolled her eyes 'what do you think I'm going to do to them?'

Yao Changying: "Don't roll you eyes at me; I've seen you take people out."

Ren Guotin: "What's going on here?"

All 4 of the women watched as Ren Guotin, Ren Longwei, Butler Dong and the other butler made their way towards them.

Ren Longwei was shocked: "Ah Dr Li you're really here?" He hadn't believed it when Han You reported that Li Xiuying had broken into their home.

Yao Changying muttered under her breathe: "Why do I always become invisible in this house?"

Ren Guotin: "Li Xiuying, Yao Changying what's going on?"

Li Xiuying crossed her arms over her chest and coldly looked into Ren Guotin's eyes: "Where's Daiyu?"

Ren Guotin:"Xiuying, Daiyu's not able to receive guests right now. Perhaps you can come back another time.

Li Xiuying and Yao Changying faces clearly displayed 'that's not going to happen.'

Ren Longwei: "Dr Li, Dr Yao, Daiyu's not feeling well right now. She..."

Yao Changying: "It's a good thing that 2 doctors are here to see her then right?"

Ren Longwei: "..."

Ren Guotin sighed in defeat: "Follow me to my study; I'll explain what's going on."
