Chapter 294 Catching the Strong Man

Chapter 294 Catching the Strong Man

Passengers on the bus came and went. After the old man in yellow got off the bus, the incident was quickly forgotten.

Ye Tianlong leaned on his seat and looked at the scenery outside. It was rare to have free time to appreciate the scenery of Mingjiang, so he was very interested in watching it.

Not long after, his sight came back to the familiar building, Book City. The bus stopped at the Book City station. Amid the driver's roar, the passengers on the bus were getting on and off.

Ye Tianlong stretched and looked out the window. His eyes suddenly lit up. He saw a familiar figure, Sophie, alone.

Why did this woman come to the bookstore alone?

Ye Tianlong remembered that he warned Sophie that if the young beggar that day was really Su Yunfeng, it would be dangerous for her to come to the bookstore alone because it would invisibly threaten the interests of the Ax Gang.

Those bastards will do anything to cover up their crimes for profit, including killing people and silencing them.

However, he could more or less guess what Sophie was thinking. First, she was eager to confirm the young beggar, and second, she was inconvenient to trouble the dinosaur every day.

"It's time to remind her."

Thinking of this, Ye Tianlong hurriedly got up and got out of the car door, heading towards the crowded bookstore, hoping to find Sophie who was wandering just now.

But when he rushed to Sophie's approximate location, Sophie had disappeared. People were coming and going, and there was no trace at all. Fortunately, the crowd did not panic or shout.

Ye Tianlong turned around a few more times, but still didn't see Sophie. He couldn't help frowning, and then rushed into the bookstore.

He ran to the third floor in one breath, walked around the glass corridor on the outer wall, and walked through the entire bookstore, hoping to see Sophie.

Unfortunately, there is still no shadow.

Ye Tianlong took out his mobile phone and called Dinosaur, telling him what happened just now and asking him to contact Sophie to see where he was.

Dinosaur became anxious when he heard that Sophie might be in trouble. He hung up the phone after Ye Tianlong finished speaking. A minute later, Dinosaur called back.

He told Sophie that she had indeed gone to the bookstore just now and that she did want to try her luck to find her brother, but she had already left by car because she had to return to the company on time for a regular meeting.

Dinosaur also told him that he would keep an eye on Sophie more in the future.

After making this call, Ye Tianlong breathed a sigh of relief, and then walked to the coffee shop on the east side of the third floor to buy a mocha.

Since he was already late anyway, he was not in a hurry to rush to the company, so he leaned on the No. 9 sofa, looking at the beggars in his field of vision, while drinking coffee.

He hoped that the young beggar would appear. Even if he did not appear, Ye Tianlong would like to remember a few more beggars' faces. After all, the people who could beg here were all tools under Dong Ruhai's banner.

He sat there for almost an hour. There were only four or five beggars, all half-grown children, but there were about ten assisting policemen.

There is no doubt that Dinosaur and Sophie's call to the police caused the police to invest their police force, but it was a pity that this failed to alert the snake.

After Ye Tianlong finished the cup of coffee, he felt that he was still unsatisfied, so he ordered another cup of cappuccino, took two sips, and the phone rang.

The signal near Sofa No. 9 was not good, so Ye Tianlong was relieved about the cup and walked to the terrace with his mobile phone to talk. Sophie called to express his thanks.

Ye Tianlong smiled and chatted with her for a few words, and told her not to go in and out of the bookstore alone, and to go to the dinosaur if anything happened. Then he hung up the phone and went back.

When he walked back to his seat, Ye Tianlong was slightly startled. He found a fashionable woman sitting in his seat, holding the coffee he had drank, looking at her phone and drinking it elegantly.

He opened his mouth slightly, and after examining it again and again, he confirmed that the cup was his.

What's going on?

Ye Tianlong didn't care about a cup of coffee, but he was surprised that someone would drink from his cup. He took a step forward to say something but recognized the other person.

Wu Lingshuang.

Wu Lingshuang dressed in a completely different style today, and the beauty she displayed was even worse than hers.

This time, her hair was tied into a bun with a pencil stuck in it. Her bright eyes, eye-catching red lips, and light blue denim skirt fully showed off the curves and charm of her body.

At the same time, Ye Tianlong also discovered that the receipt Wu Lingshuang placed on the table had the word "6" written on it.

He turned his head to look at sofa No. 6, and sure enough he saw the same cup of cappuccino sitting there. He smiled bitterly. It turned out that Wu Lingshuang, who was distracted, had made a mistake and mistook nine for six.

Seeing that Wu Lingshuang drank most of the coffee, Ye Tianlong did not go over to remind him, so as not to cause trouble to the other party, he walked to sofa No. 6 and sat down.

Sitting on sofa No. 6, Ye Tianlong took another look at the outside environment, trying to see if there were any suspicious beggars, but in the end he still found nothing.

Fifteen minutes later, he was about to get up and leave. At this time, he saw Wu Lingshuang again in his field of vision.

But her situation at the moment was a bit embarrassing. She was standing in front of the cashier and felt very sorry. She bought another cup of coffee and took a sip, only to find that her wallet was empty of cash and her phone had run out of battery just now.

She apologized to the cashier and said, "Miss, I'm sorry, please wait for me for ten minutes."

"I'm going to get the money for you now."

"Hurry up, I have to take over my shift. If you are like this, can this store still be open?"

The cashier looked impatient: "I didn't even look at my wallet or phone before buying anything. I didn't know if I wanted to freeload."

Wu Lingshuang's eyes were slightly cold, but she didn't say anything in the end and put down her coffee to get the money.

"I'll pay for her coffee."

Ye Tianlong stood at the cashier with his wallet, and then handed a hundred to the cashier: "It is convenient for others, and it is also convenient for yourself."

The cashier twitched the corner of his mouth and said nothing, but moved skillfully to give Ye Tianlong change.

Wu Lingshuang picked up the coffee again, raised a smile and said: "Ye Tianlong, thank you."

She had very complicated feelings about this weirdo. She felt that he was despicable and unscrupulous in pursuing results, but she was also curious that he seemed to know everything.

So Wu Lingshuang wanted to stay away from Ye Tianlong intellectually, but emotionally she wanted to get closer and peek into this guy's colorful world.

"A cup of coffee is only thirty-nine yuan."

A smile broke out on Ye Tianlong's face: "I can still afford this amount of money. If it were replaced by 390 or 3000, I would definitely pretend that I don't know you."

"Besides, I heard from Mr. Lin that you helped a lot when the police station brought down Zhu Dapen last time. This coffee can be considered a small favor from me."

Wu Lingshuang flipped up her hair and joked: "With such a busy schedule, isn't a cup of coffee a bit shabby?"

Ye Tianlong glanced at her sideways, without giving the other party any chance to make further progress: "It's already very good. I always drink other people's coffee, but this cup of mocha is an exception."

"Besides, you also owe me a favor. If I hadn't given you face, Wang Xiaotiao, Kong Dong and Kong Xi would have been eliminated by me."

Kong Dong and Kong Xi wanted to torture Ye Tianlong to extract a confession, but he instead made a confession, which was enough to make Kong Polang very anxious.

But later he felt guilty for taking away Wu Lingshuang's first kiss, and the situation was under his control, so he didn't throw out the confession and make a big deal out of it.

"You still have the nerve to say that?"

Wu Lingshuang's pretty face was stern, remembering the artificial respiration in the police station. The bastard in front of her not only tortured Kong Dong and Kong Xi half to death, but also pretended to be comatose in exchange for her artificial respiration, which was also her first kiss.

When she thought about it, her ears flushed and her heart beat, and her cheeks became hot, so she hummed to Ye Tianlong:

"I was originally grateful for your rescue today, but now I can only regard it as your compensation."

Feeling the woman's sharp gaze and rising anger, Ye Tianlong felt guilty and wanted to slap himself twice. Why are you digging up old scores? Wouldn't this be suicidal? He quickly changed the subject with a smile:

"Okay, okay, make amends, atone, Miss Wu, you didn't have breakfast, right?"

"Just drinking coffee is boring. Let me order you some snacks."

Wu Lingshuang snorted: "Do you think a few snacks can make up for me? Ye Tianlong, let me tell you, you have already made me unhappy."

"It's not that easy if you want to calm down. Coffee, breakfast, it's no use. If you want to atone for your sins, okay, take two hours to go shopping with me and buy some things."

"Otherwise, I will talk about revenge on you every day and make you unable to sleep well."

Ye Tianlong looked depressed: "Didn't you just mention a few old things? As for using the topic as an excuse? Besides, you seem to have a lot of followers..."

After two hours of shopping, he felt like he was going to kneel.

Wu Lingshuang's pretty face said: "Stop talking nonsense, are you willing?"

Ye Tianlong immediately responded: "Yes!"
