Chapter 665: Chapter 665: It’s a Trap
The mont the man heard Rong Ling’s na, he gritted his teeth in hatred: “That kid has been missing for a while, no idea where he’s hiding! We’ve gone to his house many tis, but can’t see him! We beat his dad half to death, and he doesn’t care at all, won’t even show up!”
Han Ye: “I ran into him today.”
“Where!?”
Han Ye: “At a class reunion, but he left halfway through!”
“Young Master Han, you shouldn’t have let him leave like that! He still owes a lot of money!”
Han Ye: “Don’t worry! You’ll see him! I heard he’s planning to study abroad, and to do that, he needs his household registration book, so he’ll surely co ho. You can block him at the door, and you’ll definitely catch him! And…”
He paused and said eerily, “He’s got money.”
“How much?”
“At least several hundred thousand!”
The man clenched his teeth, speaking hatefully: “Having money but not paying back, this kid really thinks he can get away with it! I’ve finally caught him! Young Master Han, rest assured, if I can get my money back this ti, I’ll make sure you benefit too!”
Han Ye laughed: “It doesn’t matter, as long as you give a few more wins when we play mahjong next ti.”
…
The next day.
Rong Ling was about to head ho but suddenly received a call from his father.
Initially, he didn’t want to answer, but thinking about how he needed to go ho to get the household registration book, he had to contact them. So, he answered, but his tone was cold: “Hello?”
Mr. Rong: “I heard from your teacher that you’re planning to study abroad?”
Rong Ling: “Yes.”
Mr. Rong: “Studying abroad costs a lot of money, where did you get it from?”
Rong Ling: “Soone’s sponsoring , and I have to pay it back later. What, do you want to use this money to cover your debts?”
Mr. Rong: “…”
After a brief silence, Mr. Rong didn’t bring up the debt but said: “Since you’re planning to study abroad, you need the household registration book to handle the procedures, right?”
Rong Ling: “Yes, I’ll be ho later to get it.”
Mr. Rong: “Co back and get it! Once you get it, leave quickly. Once you’re abroad, you can avoid the debt collectors for a while!”
Rong Ling couldn’t believe that his unreliable father would be so considerate and not ask for money: “I know.”
Mr. Rong: “By the way, I haven’t seen Xiaoyi in a long ti. Since you’re coming back, bring Xiaoyi with you!”
Rong Ling: “You still have the face to see Xiaoyi?”
Mr. Rong: “She’s my daughter; of course I want to see her!”
Rong Ling: “After what you did to her, how do you have the face to see her?”
Mr. Rong sighed: “Rong Ling, don’t be so aggressive, I’m your father! No matter what, at least bring her to see once, I haven’t seen my daughter in a long ti, I miss her…”
His tone was unexpectedly soft.
Rong Ling closed his eyes and said, “Got it.”
He hung up the phone, and Xiaoyi ca out of the room, looking a bit nervous: “Was that a call from dad?”
Rong Ling turned around, seeing Xiaoyi’s panicked expression, imdiately walked over, crouched in front of her: “Yes, I’m going back to get the household registration book. He asked to bring you back too, saying he misses you.”
Xiaoyi instinctively shrank back into the room, shaking her head fearfully; the word “dad” cast a long shadow over her.
Seeing her scared eyes, Rong Ling didn’t push: “If you don’t want to go, I’ll go alone, and you stay ho by yourself, okay?”
Xiaoyi finally nodded.
Although being alone at ho is lonely, boring, and a bit scary, she really doesn’t want to face that beastly father.
Rong Ling stood up, gently patted her head, left the dorm room, and before closing the door, he reminded: “Xiaoyi, rember to lock the door, don’t open it for anyone.”
Xiaoyi nodded obediently: “Okay.”
Rong Ling returned to the company for a bit, picked up so things, and headed to the door to get a taxi.
Evening rush hour.
The ride-hailing app indicated a long queue.
A Bentley suddenly stopped beside him.
The window rolled down.
Li Yufei was sitting in the back and looked at him: “Where are you headed?”
Rong Ling’s cold expression softened slightly when he saw her: “I’m planning to go ho.”
Li Yufei looked at the traffic outside: “It’s rush hour, hard to get a car, let give you a lift.”
Rong Ling asked, “Is it convenient for you?”
Li Yufei: “I just finished work and am free.”
Rong Ling hesitated for a mont, opened the door, and sat in the back seat.
Besides Li Yufei, there was also a driver and a bodyguard in the car.
The road was heavily congested.
Rong Ling stared at the traffic, feeling more irritable.
The thought of returning ho only added to his irritation.
If it weren’t for needing the household registration book, he wouldn’t set foot in that house again.
Half an hour later.
The car stopped at the entrance of an old neighborhood.
The barrier opened.
The Bentley slowly drove into the community and stopped under a building.
As soon as Rong Ling got out of the car and was about to close the door, Li Yufei suddenly said: “How long will it take you to get the household registration book, are you staying for dinner?”
Rong Ling: “I’m leaving once I get the book.”
Li Yufei: “I’ll wait for you then.”
Rong Ling replied with a “hmm,” about to go upstairs when he noticed two black Volkswagens parked not far away, the license plates looking sowhat familiar.
He frowned, gazing at the dark stairwell, suspicion rising in his heart.
He took out his phone and made a call to Mr. Rong.
The call took a long ti to connect.
Mr. Rong’s voice ca through: “What’s up?”
Rong Ling: “Are you at ho alone?”
Mr. Rong: “Yes.”
Rong Ling: “Are you sure? Other than you, there’s no one else at ho?”
Mr. Rong: “What do you an? You took Xiaoyi and left, who else would be at ho besides ?”
Rong Ling hung up and headed to the fifth floor.
Mr. Rong’s rented place was on the fifth floor; the rent had been overdue for a long ti, paid sporadically. The landlord was long dissatisfied, but Mr. Rong stubbornly stayed put, and she couldn’t do anything about it.
As he reached the fourth floor,
Rong Ling peered through the stair banister’s gaps and vaguely saw the house door ajar, with other people’s voices coming intermittently from inside.
Realizing sothing was amiss, he turned to leave, but as he did, he unexpectedly bumped into a man.
The man was in a tank top, tall and muscular. Since Rong Ling entered the staircase, he’d been following in, and when he noticed Rong Ling beca alert and attempted to descend, he imdiately tackled him to the ground.
“Damn it! Finally caught you, you little brat!”
He shouted while viciously punching Rong Ling in the face!
Soon, a few strong n rushed out from the house, seized Rong Ling by the hair, and dragged him inside!
