In the corridor.
It had been not more than 5 minutes since Le Zhong had asked Yu Lan and others if he wanted to talk about sothing alone with Xiao Ya.
By now, almost all the girls had a serious looks on their faces.
Even Yu Lan who didn't understand why Le Zhong would have wanted to talk with Xiao Ya in secrecy had a dark expression on her face.
In the anti, Lin had cleared her mind as she told her everything that she knew of Le Zhong.
And hearing all that Lin had told her, Yu Lan was not able to believe that she was saying these words about the man who had a smile on his face when he introduced himself to them.
"Don't ever imagine that his smile ans anything good, it's because every ti uncle Le Zhong smiles it makes everyone who knows him quiver in fear and terror."
These were the words that rang in Yu Lan's mind all this long.
She had indeed not known Le Zhong before today and although she might have heard about him a lot since he was one of the big bosses of Star City and also a major figure.
But after seeing him apologizing for Le Yun's conduct with Xiao Ya, she felt that he would be an elder who wanted to atone for his son's mistakes.
But never would she have thought that this person whom she thought of as good was soone who was even more shrewd than a wolf.
With a light click, the door of the room was pulled open as Le Zhong walked out with the sa smile on his face.
But this ti, the reaction from the young won was not like before.
Yu Lan now understood what Lin ant with all those things just back then.
It was because even if Le Zhong's smile looked simple and one that was filled with care.
It didn't look the sa if one were to think of it in a different manner.
It was as if, the way you looked at it would change it into a completely different entity.
From a benevolent elder, Le Zhong right now looked no different than soone who would do sothing that would make their life miserable and one who looked down upon them with disdain and mockery.
Without even taking a look at them, Le Zhong simply turned to his guards and then walked to through the corridor.
The four could only look at his back while comparing to the person just now with the one from before who had entered the room when they were in back then.
"This is bad!"
Lin exclaid as she rushed into the room while followed by Yu Lan, Yanran and i.
And indeed just as she had thought.
The scene that they saw made them sigh while shaking their heads.
On the bed, Xiao Ya sat with a dazed look on her face while the bedsheet under her looked t be tightly gripped by her.
i and Yanran were a bit shocked to see that the bedsheet had two been torn into two spots which were right beneath Xiao Ya's palms.
"Xiao Ya, it's alright, I will talk to my dad, if he threatened you then I will make Le Zhong suffer."
Lin ca beside her and tried to console her.
She had thought that Le Zhong would have threatened Xiao Ya with her family or so other ans like the future.
It was not hard for soone like him to make life hard for Xiao Ya if he wanted to.
In fact, with just a finger from him, there would be many people who would want to please him which was enough to make Xiao Ya's life difficult.
Be it life in the university right now, or in the future if she wanted to find a job.
"No, he didn't do that."
But much to her shock, Xiao Ya shook her head.
Indeed, Le Zhong had not threatened in any way.
All he had done was given so hope.
But it had a way much strong effect on her than it would have if Le Zhong had threatened her with her life or future.
It was because Xiao Ya could not care any less about that right now, what was important to her now was the welfare of her mother.
Hearing her words, Lin was confused for a mont.
'If not threatened then what kind of thing would Le Zhong had done in order to intimidate Xiao Ya?'
And seeing the crying face of Xiao Ya along with the dipped bedsheet which was obviously torn by Xiao Ya in a fit of anger, she could not think of any other thing that le Zhong might have said.
In fact, this was a thod that she had always heard of from her father when he talked about Le Zhong.
She still rembered what he said.
"In matter, he wants sothing to be done, then he would either force them by threatening their family or their future."
"Or promise them with sothing that would entice them to have to other option but to accept it."
These were the precise words that Lin's father had told her when he described Le Zhong's actions throughout his life and with the ways he used to build his strength so much.
But Lin would never believe that Le Zhong would even mind trying to entice Xiao Ya wiht sothing.
It was because he could not care any less about soone who ca from a small family and was barely making a living.
Enticing soone who already had sothing would work much better than enticing soone who might have like nothing with them.
Why would he even lower himself into enticing soone who could not even barely be enough for him to look down upon?
"Then what did he say, why were you crying then?"
i asked in worry seeing the tear marks on Xiao Ya's cheeks.
Xiao Ya's heart skipped a beat, it was because she did not want to let them know about her mother's condition at all.
