Chapter 169: The First Ambus.h.!.+


Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations


“Ling Yun…”


The moment school ended, Xue Meining dashed out of cla.s.s and ran like the wind as she rushed down the stairs. Her steps were light yet filled with vigor as she moved in the direction of Grade 12 Cla.s.s 6. It was at the main corridor connecting the two education blocks that they came across one another.


“What food are you craving for tonight? Name it!” Ling Yun grinned as he asked Xue Meining.


Under the light of the setting sun, Ling Yun’s clear eyes, his straight nose, and his sharp silhouette were further emphasized. In addition, the twilight shone on his lips and illuminated his beaming smile. Combined with his charming dimple, Xue Meining was stunned and temporarily speechless.


After a seemingly long pause, she finally regained her senses and flirtatiously hooked her arm around Ling Yun’s arm as she stood beside him. She looked up at him and replied, “I’m not that hungry yet, how about going for some milk tea together?”


This was part of the plan that she had spent the whole afternoon thinking about.


It was a confession after all. Thus, naturally, one had to choose a place that was romantic, elegant, and at the same time, tranquil. Hence, the first place that came to her mind was the milk tea cafe near the school entrance. Even though the couple rooms there were relatively cheap, the manager had managed to decorate the room to give off a romantic vibe. This had, in turn, attracted many students to visit the place as a couple.


In response, Ling Yun merely nodded his head before exclaiming, “Everything’s up to you!”


Xue Meining smiled coquettishly as she hugged Ling Yun’s arm before they proceeded to leave the school, all while unfazed by the various gazes falling on them.


“Ling Yun, what have you been busy with this afternoon?”


As they neared the cafe, Xue Meining could not help but feel anxiety as her confession crept nearer and nearer, thus causing her to ask questions subconsciously in an attempt to stay calm.


“Oh, me? I went to open an account.” Ling Yun answered honestly.


“An account? What account?” Xue Meining asked curiously as she looked up at Ling Yun.


“Just a bank account for stock investments. Do you know about it?” Ling Yun exclaimed. His face was proud and joyful as he imagined how Zhuang Meifeng was going to help him rake in a large amount of profit.


Yet, to his surprise, Xue Meining lost interest the moment she heard the word stock from his mouth.


“Tsk, and I was wondering what interesting account you were going to open. To think it would be one for stock trading. The risks are overwhelming, what are you doing this for?” Xue Meining replied. With a thorough education since young, naturally, she also had a perfect understanding of the workings of stock speculation and investment. Understanding immediately what she meant, Ling Yun looked at her with a serious expression before asking.


“Little Ning, exactly how big is the risk?”


Xue Meining batted an eye at him as she answered, ” Don’t you know? Out of the ten people engaging in stock speculation, only a single person would profit. Furthermore, that person is always from the Zhuang family…”


Her words left Ling Yun in a daze. Unaware that this venture held such high risks, he decided that tonight, he would have to discuss with Zhuang Meifeng again. After all, there was no way he was willing to risk all his savings for an impossible venture. Furthermore, there was no way he would let Zhuang Meifeng gamble away his hard-earned capital!


As the two continued their conversation, they eventually arrived at the school entrance. At the moment Ling Yun stepped out of the entrance, he sensed an ominous aura being emitted from his surroundings. The dangerous killing intent was so much stronger than before that it shocked him for a moment. Ling Yun frowned, his expression heavy as a burst of killing intent flashed across his eyes for a second.


He removed his arm from Xue Meining’s grasp and instead wrapped his arm around her waist. He then surveyed the surroundings.


Yet, there were no abnormalities detected.


However, Ling Yun could clearly sense the thick miasma of killing intent in the surroundings. Furthermore, this suffocating killing intent intensified greatly the moment the two of them left the school gate!


D*mn it! As expected, this killing intent is directed at the two of us! That being said, he was still unable to pinpoint his opponent’s true target. The first time he had felt such dangerous aura was last Sat.u.r.day when he had been out with Little Ning as well!


It was too late to send Xue Meining back to school. Thus, all he could do was to stay alert and cautious while keeping her close to him. Unconsciously, he held her waist tighter. As for the oblivious Xue Meining, upon feeling Ling Yun automatically wrapping his arms around her waist tighter, she could not help but feel a bit shy. Hence, her face blushed slightly.


Don’t tell me Big Brother Ling Yun knows that I want to confess to him. Looks like he isn’t as dense as I thought after all…. The spoiled lady thought to herself, her emotions a mixture of joy and shyness. With that said, she allowed Ling Yun to hold her waist however he liked.


As the traffic light turned green, Ling Yun made sure he surveyed his surroundings once again. Seeing that the coast was clear, he then held Xue Meining tightly as they crossed the road.


All of a sudden, a stationary black limousine started its engine and accelerated. It then sped towards them with explosive speed. Within 3 seconds, the car had accelerated to more than 100 miles an hour as it rushed closer towards the two of them!


If only Ling Yun knew about cars, he would have noticed the fact that the car held no plating when he surveyed the surroundings. Sadly, he knew nothing about those things called cars.


The car was like a flying arrow. If it hit them, they would no doubt be sent flying for more than 15 meters! Hence, it was obvious that whoever was in the car wanted the two of them dead!


The people along the road were all in shock. Many shouted warnings while others gasped in horror. Some were simply frozen with their eyes shut tight, unwilling to witness the tragedy that was going to unfold.


“Ahh!”


That was all Xue Meining could utter out of her mouth. She only noticed the speeding car at the moment when it was seconds from contact with their bodies. She could only look on in horror as she awaited her own death!


It was at this critical moment, Ling Yun held Xue Meining tightly before utilizing his Thousand Miles G.o.dly Steps to its limits. In a fraction of a second, with only a single residual image remaining, they had traversed to the opposite side of the road. The speeding black limousine missed the two by a hair’s breadth. Just a fraction of a second late and it would have hit them!


Despite missing Ling Yun, the car did not slow down. The driver skillfully performed a drift, making sure not to hit any unrelated personnel. In a second, he had driven around a corner and disappeared.


“Alright, it’s okay now…” Ling Yun gently released his embrace and let Xue Meining down to the ground. He then gently patted her shoulder to rea.s.sure her. He did not bother chasing after the car. That was because he did not want to leave Xue Meining behind and expose her to unnecessary dangers. After all, he still had no idea who the driver of the car was targeting.


“Hah… that gave me the shock of my life!” Xue Meining exclaimed, her supple chest moving up and down vigorously as she took many deep breaths. Her small lips were quivering and her face was pale like a ghost.


“Ling Yun, didn’t that car seem like it was aiming at us…?” Xue Meining asked with an incredulous expression the moment she regained her composure.


Ling Yun replied with a gentle smile before answering, “It did not ‘seem like’, the car was clearly aiming at us!”


At the moment that the car had nearly hit them, most of the onlookers had closed their eyes in fear. Yet, Ling Yun had been totally unfazed as he elegantly dodged the ambush by the car. Even now, he was acting as if nothing major had occurred. This was only natural for him. Back in Cultivation World, such killing and fighting was part and parcel of life. Having experienced more dangerous and drastic situations than this, Ling Yun was numb to such incidents.


“Ah… what?! Just who is trying to kill us?! Should we call the cops?” Xue Meining exclaimed hysterically. The first thing that popped into her mind was going to the cops.


In response, Ling Yun smiled.


“Little Ning, no need to be afraid. That car seemed to have been aiming for me, not you. That’s why there’s no need to make a police report.”


He had finally figured everything out. The reason was simple. If the person had planned to target Xue Meining with such a high-speed vehicle, all he or she had to do was wait for when she was alone. With that, her death would be inevitable. Thus, there was no need for them to take additional risks and do so when she was with someone else. Not to mention, that skillful drift done by the driver was clearly a taunt towards Ling Yun.


If everything is what I think it is, the car accident last time… Ling Yun drifted off into his own thoughts. He was pondering deeply before his concentration was broken by Xue Meining’s loud voice.


“What?! They’re aiming for you? Even if that’s true, it’s still too dangerous for you!” Upon hearing that the car was aiming for Ling Yun, she felt even more worried than before.


Seeing that she was so worried for him that she had forgotten her fear, Ling Yun could not help but smile. He playfully ticked her delicate nose before replying softly.


“Relax, Little Ning. Even with your presence just now, I was able to protect the both of us easily. They won’t be able to harm me. Don’t worry.”


Only upon hearing what Ling Yun said did Xue Meining manage to calm herself down. That being said, her eyes were still filled with worry as she racked her brain, trying to find a solution to this predicament.


“Now, forget about all this and let’s go have some milk tea. It’s my treat.” Ling Yun announced before taking the initiative this time, hooking his arm around Xue Meining’s arm.


In actual fact, Xue Meining felt that being outside was too dangerous and wanted to go back with Ling Yun to school. Instinctively, she felt that the school was the safest place to be at the moment. However, upon seeing Ling Yun’s calm and confident expression, she could not bring the words out of her mouth. Hence, she could only follow him into the milk tea cafe.


As expected, Yao Rou was still in the cafe. In fact, she was actually sitting along the window. However, as she was deep in thought, she failed to notice the near-death scene that had occurred right in front of her. The seat that Yao Rou was sitting on was in a conspicuous spot, facing straight towards the entrance. This was also the reason she chose that seat since she wanted Ling Yun to see her the moment he entered the cafe.


“Ling Yun, let’s go to the private room on the second floor, okay?” Xue Meining asked the moment they entered the cafe. In response to the two words, ‘Ling Yun’, Yao Rou immediately raised her head with antic.i.p.ation only to see Xue Meining holding Ling Yun’s arm tightly. She had just been about to stand up. Now, she was frozen and the smile that had appeared on her face had disappeared. Her eyes were now devoid of any emotions as she looked at the two of them in a daze. How stupid could I be? Ling Yun is so handsome and exceptional, of course he would have a girlfriend!


Yao Rou gazed at Xue Meining’s beautiful face and her elegant, long black hair. The girl before her was taller than her and held an air of innocence. Furthermore, Xue Meining gave off a natural air of cla.s.siness. All these caused unimaginable pain to her heart. How could she even compare to such a beautiful lady?


Ling Yun acted as if he did not notice Yao Rou, speaking to Xue Meining with a smile, “Okay, let’s go to the second floor then.”


In all honesty, Ling Yun had never thought that Yao Rou would be waiting in the cafe for him. However, he was unaffected and did not bother to speak to her. Instead, when he walked past her, he merely gave her a soft pat on her shoulder before going to the second floor. This soft squeeze warmed her heart immediately. The first thing that came to her mind was that Ling Yun wanted her to wait for him and that he would explain everything to her.


Thus, she puffed out her supple chest and looked at her beautiful figure showing through her nurse coat. She then looked at her beautiful and delicate pair of legs under the table. She had regained her confidence and felt that there was no way she would lose out to the girl she saw. She bit her lips softly before ordering another milkshake as she began waiting for her potential romantic partner.
