Chapter 86 - Help Me

With her hands held behind her back and her face pressed against the wall,Yao Yao tried to escape but was unable to move. A creepy voice then whispered in her ear, "To what do I owe the pleasure of Ms Yao following me?"

Yao Yao who had been struggling until now to get free stilled at this..This was no random attack.This man even knew her name. A little scared now,she stuttered,"Who are you?"

The man tightened his hold on her wrist and said,"Who I am is not the point,Ms Yao.The point is why were you following me and what I am going to do about that?"

Yao Yao struggled desperately to get out of his escape but it was no use.She could not even budge an inch. Finally,she threatened,"Let me go or I will scream."

This caused Matt to let out a low laugh and he said in a growl,"Ms Yao,you would have screamed already if you wanted to do that.But for whatever reason, you have decided to follow me and are under the false assumption that I am not dangerous. So for the last time,tell me why you are following me or I will make sure you are not able to talk for sometime."

Thoroughly terrified,Yao Yao started to babble," You are Shi Ai's 'knight' aren't you?I have seen her drawings and apart from the hair,you have the same jaw and face structure. I just wanted to know more about you.I am her friend after all. You are also the one who is responsible for the school not expelling her. I think that she has told you about me. She is not very sociable and I am her only friend. So I know about everyone in her life."

Matt was tempted to gag after he heard Yao Yao claim friendship with Shi Ai. He had heard the entire police conversation she had about Shi Ai with the detective. If this was a friend then one would not need enemies.

Pretending to go along her claim,Matt loosened his hold on her and asked,"If you were curious,you could have just asked Shi Ai when you spied on us.There was no need to follow me,was there?" Matt had known that Yao Yao had been seeing them when he gave Shi Ai the watch. So he decided to put her in a spot.

But Yao Yao was always a quick thinker and she had already formulated a story which she now told Matt,much to his amusement,"I wanted to tell you something.Shi Ai is cheating on you. There is a senior boy in our school.His name is Zhang Min and they claim they are cousin brother and sister.But that is only for looks as the school does not allow romantic entanglements.I never said anything because I thought that the 'knight' was a figment of her imagination. And I could see that Zhang Min and Shi Ai were doing well. She had stabilized from her aggressive nature.But now I know that you are real,I could not stop myself. I can see that you are older than her and probably richer. Please be aware she just wants to use you to be her sugar daddy. She calls you Knight so you must have been good to her and she is using your kindness against you!"

As Matt heard this explanation,he almost did a slow clap for the girl. She would make an excellent story writer. Within a few minutes and with a few words,she had turned a simple innocent Shi Ai into a conniving gold digger. What talent this Yao Yao girl possessed.

Well,since the girl wanted to be a busybody and waste her time who was he to object? So, Matt let go of her hand and stood back a step with his arms crossed in front of his chest. He was pleased to see the marks he had left on the girl. It was little suffering compared to what Shi Ai had suffered because of her.

It took a moment for Yao Yao to realize that her hands had been let off. Bringing them to the front,she realized that they were all red with clear finger prints on her wrists. Her shoulders screamed in pain as they had been held in an uncomfortable position for too long.. She slowly brought a hand upto her cheek and winced when she felt the scrapes and scratches on her cheek from being pressed against a rough wall. Her eyes were filled with tears and she looked at Matt in a mixture of accusation and reproach as if silently telling him to have not been rough with her.

Ignoring her Matt continued in a somewhat anxious voice,"Do you have any proof? You say you are her friend,yet here you are sabotaging her. Shouldn't you be supporting her? You same the real me only today and already decided to help me?What about confronting your 'friend first? You could've tried to talk her out of it. Tell  me Ms Yao,why did you not do that but rather came to look for me? And don't friends cover for friends?" Matt then looked lewdly at Yao Yao giving her a once over before saying, " Or is it that you want a sugar daddy for yourself? Because if that is the case,I am willing to consider you,after you prove that Shi Ai and Zhang Min are really a couple. And Shi ai is cheating on me."

The gaze that Matt had subjected her to would have given any girl the creeps but Yao Yao was excited by it. He could feel a wave of disgust spread through him at the arousal in her eyes. The girl was not even eighteen yet but the filth in her was too much..Were all the younger generation girls really like this?

Yao Yao felt the change in the man as his stance turned colder and she felt a shiver run through her. Trying to come across as a shy girl,she immediately lowered her lashes and claimed,"No no..I don't want a..a sugar daddy.I did not mean that.I just felt that a handsome man like you must be treated well instead of shabbily like Shi Ai is treating you. And I have tried to talk to her in the past about her promiscuous ways,she is used to changing boyfriends like an person changes socks! Others have been hurt by her. Her last boyfriend was a boy called Cheng Qiu and he was so hurt by her cheating ways that he chose to leave the school and waste a year than stay here and be in pain. I..you can give me your number and I will get you the proof that Shi Ai is not a good girl!"

Matt looked at her thoughtfully as if considering what she had just said. After a minute,he warned,"No..I will give you four days worth time.After four days,you will come here with the proof. Let me tell you if you dare to come without proof, you will leave with proof of my viciousness.And now scamper from here before I change my mind and leave you here as food for dogs." Frightened,Yao Yao escaped at the speed of lightning.

As Matt Long watched the disappearing back,he could not help but wonder. He knew there were people who liked to bully and derived pleasure from it. There were sadists who got off on hurting others.But they usually had more than one target victim or at least there should have been some instances like these in the past. Or even if Yao Yao was just a bored rich girl, why was she so willing to stoop so low? Had Shi Ai hurt her unknowingly to incur such hatred. Or was the girl being instigated by someone else. Matt took out his phone and sent the recording he had just done to Su Jianan with the instructions to pass it to Shi Ai and Zhang Min. He also decided to let Miss Su know his own observations about this matter. Something was fishy but what? 

But once he had passed the matter to Miss Su,he put away the matter to rest. His little brother had fallen for the little girl even if he was not yet aware of it. Because ever since that woman who had been Ah Hai's *friend* had betrayed him, Ah Hai had not treated any woman with kindness. Not even his elder sisters in laws, Alicia and Mi Rae had been given any consideration other than being their brother's wives.

A long sigh escaped Matt. He guessed he was he only brother who had to yet to feel love..A pair of faint smiling eyes flashed in his head but he did  ot who they belonged to. Putting his hands in the pocket of his jeans, Matt kicked a pebble lightly as he walked the road to his humble abode. A lonely figure..
