CH 80

Her father really left her, how terrible of her family again, Yang Han Lu has suffered too much, right?

The landlord and I couldn't stand it. And Yang Han Lu cried for a while, and then she got tired and fell asleep.

I put her on the bed and left, thinking with a frown, how would we find her father?

I asked the landlord, he laughed bitterly: "Brother, you're too naive, if you can find him, that bitch also would’ve caught him already, there’s no use."

I said it was possible that she agreed to not talk to him ever again.

The landlord told me to stop being naive. I felt bad deep inside, Yang Han Lu is being abused again now, and it was because of me and Qin Lad had asked me to take care of her before, and I also could sympathize with her, and I don’t want her to suffer at all, how could I deal with this?

I’m still gonna try to find her father even though I might not go anywhere.

I was thinking who can help me? I knew it was impossible for me to find him on my own, but I probably could do it with someone’s help.

I was the first to think of Lin Yin Yin, her father is a big shot, and her father is very close to the Qin Lan family, so he must also know the young woman, and he should also know something about what happened years ago.

I couldn't help but get excited, I had a chance!

I immediately set out to find Lin Yin Yin, she should be home by now.

As soon as I got there, I saw her on the balcony, singing again to vent her frustration.

I waved my hand and called out to her, and she couldn't help but rejoice and rush down: "Why haven't you been back to the classroom? How can you write a manuscript to go to college if you are so lazy?"

I didn’t mean to, but I always seem to be dealing with things, and I can’t just stay there and watch.

I dragged her to an isolated place to talk: "Can you do me a favor?"

She asked what the favor was, and I told her. She was stunned: "You want me to ask my father to find Qin Lan's mother's lover?"

I said yes, and she firmly shook her head: “No, no, I remember when my father and Qin Lan’s father were trying to catch her cheating, and the incident was so large that my father almost killed someone.

I was speechless: “Qin Lan’s father wasn’t really faithful either. Who did your father kill?” Lin Yin Yin said sullenly: “It was only after my father found out that Qin Lan’s father wasn’t faithful either, did he decide to not hurt anyone, those stinky men.”

I didn't care about this crap, I said just try to talk to your dad and find out. She was distressed: "No, first of all, my father will not go to him for no reason, and he might get upset if I bring this up."

I was depressed because I actually found someone who could help, but they didn’t want to and there was nothing I could do. Lin Yin Yin thought for a moment and gave me an idea: “As Ah Li to help you, my father probably won’t get mad if Ah Li asks.”

I was stunned, that was a good idea, but I didn’t know if she would help me. I asked Lin Yin Yin where Ah Li was, and she immediately bit her lips: “Hmph, she and my father went out on a date, how frustrating!”

I laughed and said, I'll just wait. She grabbed me: “Come in first, help me deal with the little brat!”

The little loli didn't go too? I was surprised when Lin Yin Yin puffed up and pulled me in, then dragged me up to the second floor.

I caught a glimpse of the little loli sitting on the couch watching TV, watching Xi Yang Yang. (TN: A Chinese children’s show about a sheep, and a wolf wanting to eat the sheep.)

Lin Yin Yin pointed at her in anger: "She hogs the TV and says she'll tell dad if I dare to bully her."

The little loli also saw us and smiled sweetly at me: "Hello, gege."

I couldn't get mad at this little girl, so I advised Lin Yin Yin: "Isn't there a TV downstairs?"

She became even more angry: "Why should I go downstairs? I want to watch it upstairs! What's the point of this idiotic show? It's too boring!"

Why are you even arguing about this? The little loli also seems to be annoyed, and just as the episode finished, she pouted: "Okay, okay, you're so naughty, I'll let you use it."

Lin Yin Yin took the remote angrily, little loli stared at me and rolled her eyes: "Gege, do you have a girlfriend?"

I said no, and she tried to act grown-up: “I’ll be your girlfriend then, okay? As long as you buy me lollipops everyday.”

I spurted out a mouthful of blood as Lin Yin Yin snapped her head around and stared at her: "Are you looking for death? I really have to beat you up!"

The little loli made a face at her and asked me to play with her. But I didn't dare to stay long, in case her father came back.

I told loli not to say anything about me, and I told Lin Yin Yin to help me find Ah Li later, and I will look for her.

I left after that, ignoring the bickering of the bratty little loli and the barking of Lin Yin Yin who was watching her show about some bears.

I waited outside and continued to wait more than an hour for Lin Yin Yin's father to return.

I continued to wait, and ten minutes later I saw Ah Li come out in suspicion. I whistled from a distance, and she spotted me immediately and trotted over, "Hey, it's you? Are you looking for me?"

I said yes, and asked for a favor. She smiled softly: “Speak slowly and clearly.” She is so kinda my heart almost melted, so I calmly asked: “Could you ask your…. husband to look for someone?”

Ah Li was stunned, blushed slightly, and she smiled generously: "Look for who?"

I told her about the incident, and repeatedly told her: "Just ask your husband to find Yang Han Lu's father, and he will understand. If he asks who asked, just say it was for your friend, your husband loves you so much, so he won't reject you."

Ah Li, hearing all of this, shouted exasperatedly: "You're so sweet to do that to someone who suffered like that. Okay, I'll help you . I'll ask Yin Yin to tell you if there's any news."

I thanked her repeatedly, finally relieved. That really was a good idea, it seems like there was still hope at finding Yang Han Lu’s father.

I went back and waited for the news, I was also tired. It was a nice weekend, but I've been running all over the place, and it really seems like I was born to alway be running.

First I went to play with Li Xin for a while and let her shy smile cure me, then I went back to the landlord's house.

The woman was still sleeping and wasn't waking up anytime soon. I pulled the landlord and instructed him: “Once Yang Han Lu leaves, follow her, I’m afraid she’ll do something stupid, I’m currently looking for her father.”

The landlord was surprised: "Damn, you're so dumb, huh? You're still trying to look for him?"

I said yes I still am, and you better keep watch of her. He said no problem, I looked towards the sky, it was approaching night soon, and I might miss my evening classes, and last time the teacher notified my parents, so that means I better hurry back and get there.

This is back to school for the evening study, Lin Yin Yin also came, she also looked at me, seemingly satisfied.

I stabilized my mind to study, the result is that Zhang Xiong, that guy annoyed me again, he was excited as if he was high on drugs: "Brother Chen, you are too awesome, but you can’t even tell, ah, those people from before doesn’t even dare to lay a finger on you right now, how did you do it?”

I smiled smugly: "I said the rich own the lower class, so it's obvious what I did."

He asked the specifics of what I didn’t, but I was too lazy to explain, and then he worshiped me again: “Now there are many people who are talking about who you were, and we might even attack those who threaten you. We’re forming a gang, and it will definitely succeed, Brother Chen!

Dammit! This idiot needs to shut up and not talk about it now.

I said you talk any more and I will take out my watermelon knife. He did not dare talk more, and then I settled down to do my homework and began thinking about my next article or something.

And so the weekend passed, some days I was busy, and in the afternoons, I rushed to find the landlord, to see if Yang Han Lu is okay.

She seems to be more and more apathetic now, but is very obedient and goes to school obediently.

Ironically her obedience made us even more worried.

Three days later, before my afternoon class had started, I felt a little depressed, but then Lin Yin Yin came to class and ran to me with great enthusiasm.

I was delighted when she spread out her palm and there was a note inside: "The man's address."

I was overjoyed, rushed to check, and then froze, surprisingly it was in this city, 23 Fu Gui Street, and damn it was within an hour-drive away. 

I was a bit incredulous and said are you sure? Lin Yin Yin puffed her mouth: "This was from Ah Li anyway, I wouldn't know if it was right."

I had no choice, I had to check it out, what if it was actually true?

So as soon as I got off work on Friday, I took the bus to 23 Fu Gui Street.

It was still quite a distance away, and it felt like we were going to the countryside, but finally there were bright lights.

As I got closer to see, I could not help but exclaim that this place is really luxurious, those street stores were all brand new, although there are not many customers now, but when they did get customers, it must just be filled with gold.

It took me a while to find Fu Gui Street, which seems to have been renovated, and it was probably a rural area that was only developed in the past few years.

I looked for the sign number, but I couldn't find 23rd street. I asked an older lady who was passing by, and she pointed to the three-story building next to us: "That's the one, ah, it was demolished to make space for construction."

I was fucking stunned, three-story building, extravagant beyond words, and the sign above read, Manzushahua Bath and Foot City, downstairs it was parked full of cars, and there were two security guards watching me.

Fuck, is it really here? Isn't this kind of place the legendary place where people of high-class met, plus there were high-quality girls here?
