President, Our Egg Is Lost Chapter 46

Chapter Forty-Six: Little fool, you shouldn't have come.

On the other side, Ji XiaoYu had returned to HongLe Garden and had just entered the dorm entrance. The phone in his pocket rang and, when he pulled it out and took a look, he had received a message from "YuTang".

“Baby, I hope everyday in the future you can be the first sight I see when I wake up.”

Ji XiaoYu stared at the words for ten seconds. After a.n.a.lyzing the potential meaning of this sentence for a long time, his face that had cooled down on the road from the cold wind instantly ignited.

Ah, ah, ah, ah, he knows! He must know that I slept with him last night!

“Xiao Yu, it's so early in the morning, why is your face as red as a baboon's bottom?” Liang ShaoGang, just coming out of his bedroom, saw him and couldn't keep from joking.

Ji XiaoYu stammered out a lie, “I-I just went for a run, I'm-I'm a little hot.” As he spoke, he wiped away non-existent sweat on his forehead.

“Really? You're so diligent. It's a holiday all day today for New Year's Day, so none of us security guards have to work." Liang ShaoGang looked at him with a puzzled expression, then asked casually, “You didn't come back last night, where did you go for the New Year's countdown?”

Hearing him ask about last night, Ji XiaoYu got nervous. “Last night, Cheng Zong attended a cla.s.s reunion and accidentally got drunk. It was late when I saw him home and settled him in, so I, so I just spent the night at his house.” He didn't know why but his brain suddenly took a wrong turn, “I slept separately from him. We definitely didn't sleep together, really!”

Liang ShaoGang: “……”

The line added at the end sounds weird, doesn't it? He didn't think too much about it originally, but now it was little hard to stop thinking about the alternate meaning. So then, his mood inexplicably became a bit low.

Seeing his expression change, Ji XiaoYu wished he could slap his own mouth. He said in a panic, “Liang Ge, I'm a little sleepy, I'll go back to my room first!”

Looking at that closed door, Liang ShaoGang stood in the hall for a long time, sighing lowly.

……

That night, at 12 midnight, while Ji XiaoYu was incubating the little white egg and sleeping soundly, the phone sitting on his pillow rang again, beeping with a message notification.

“Who is it? In the middle of the night, disturbing a person's dreams.” He struggled to open his eyes, muttering and grabbing the phone.

【YuTang: Baby, I'm here right now, I just accidentally drank too much, can you come over and pick me up? 】

Below the message was a map, marked with the location of the GuangTong Electronics Factory in the northern suburbs of Ning City.

What was going on with this man? He was drunk last night,  so why was he out drinking again today? And why didn't he say anything before going, letting him take him there earlier?

Ji XiaoYu was both sleepy and confused.

Then he thought, was it because he didn't reply to that message in the morning, so the honorable president was a little angry and didn't call him when he went out. Now that he was drunk, he couldn't drive back, so he had to ask for help?

Hmm, it should be like this.

In the morning, he hadn't wanted to reply to the message, because he just didn't know how to reply. It hadn't seemed right to promise or say no. So he chose to ignore it after being tangled up over it for a long time. Cheng Zong had always been pretty petty, so for him to be angry over this was normal.

Although he didn't want to leave his warm bed now and didn't want to drive out in the middle of the night to pick up a drunk, but he still overcame these many difficulties and climbed up from the bed.

Who even made him a dedicated bodyguard and driver and babysitter?

After he got dressed, he hesitated in front of the closet, and then chose not his own coat, but the big black woolen coat, the one that was two sizes too large but was of simple style and excellent quality, and then wrapped himself up with a big square cashmere scarf.

Well, the middle of the night was very cold and his own coat was very thin, not able to block the wind, so there was no way he could wear it.

Ji XiaoYu told himself that as his face flushed slightly.

He put the little white egg into his pants pocket and left the room.

Just as he stepped out, he happened to meet Liu WeiRen coming in through the door in the living room. He was staggering as he walked, lurching, carrying the heavy scent of alcohol.

Ji XiaoYu couldn't keep from furrowing his brow, hey, it's another drunk.

He took a few steps to get out of his way and, as a result, as the two men were about to pa.s.s by each other, Liu WeiRen coughed in his throat, and then threw up disgustingly all over the place.

If Ji XiaoYu's reaction speed hadn't been fast enough to flash him away in time, he would have been sprayed with stinky vomit.

How unlucky, drunks are really one of the most troublesome, annoying creatures in the world!

As for the most troublesome and most annoying, of course, it's that fox spirit who shamelessly wears human skin. Hopefully, after that night, the fox spirit would be sensible and disappear, not coming out to ever pollute his eyes again. Otherwise, he was afraid that he'd lose a few years of his life.

Then, Liu WeiRen's foot slipped and he fell into the big puddle of filth he had just vomited out. And for a long time, he couldn't manage to get up.

Liang ShaoGang was woken up by the movements in the living room and he was totally speechless when he came out to see. Then he realized that Ji XiaoYu was all kitted out and he immediately asked, “Xiao Yu, are you going out this late?”

Ji XiaoYu said helplessly, “Yes, Cheng Zong is also drunk outside. He sent a message telling me to pick him up.”

Liang ShaoGang said, “Then you have to go. Be careful on the road. I'll clean up here.”

“Got it. Thank you, Liang Ge.”

Ji XiaoYu pinched his nose shut and jumped over the filth on the floor. Then he went out the door, thinking very coldly in his heart, just wait and if a certain someone does this same thing, then I'm definitely having no part in it no matter what.

The mess that you make yourself, you'll have to clean it up!

He took his car from the community parking lot and then proceeded to the northern suburbs according to the address sent by Cheng YuTang.

There were no traffic jams at this point in the night, but the farther away from the city center, the worse the lighting on the road. Ji XiaoYu started to drive faster at first, and then had to slow down gradually because some of the road lights were broken and he couldn't see clearly in the surrounding darkness. However, in this case, it wasn't good for him to keep the high beams on, because he was worried about flas.h.i.+ng them into the eyes of any driver coming the opposite way, so he could only slow down.

Like that, for a drive that normally would take one and a half hours, he had to drive for more than two hours.

When he was still about five kilometers away from GuangTong Electronics Factory, Ji XiaoYu became afraid that Cheng Zong would lose his temper after waiting for so long, so he decided to make a phone call and report in. He dialed twice, but no one answered. When he called a third time, the other side simply turned off the phone.

He couldn't keep from curling his lip, this man is getting more and more temperamental and small-minded. His eyes narrowed. What a spoiled, stinky man. In the future, I can't just let him have his way, his habits have to be corrected!

After continuing for a while, Ji XiaoYu found that something wasn't right. Why did this area feel a bit familiar, as if when he had been here before?

He wondered for a moment, until the outline of the factory loomed up before him and the car navigation also showed that he was about to arrive at the destination of GuangTong Electronics Factory. And it suddenly dawned on him, he really had come here before. This was the abandoned factory he tracked the traffickers to at the beginning of last month!

Strange, the lights of the factory were out, the surroundings were all wilderness, there was no restaurant here at all, and the nearest village was kilometers away too. Where was Cheng YuTang drinking?

Or could it be that he wasn't drinking at all and had just played a joke on him and tricked him here in order to tease him?

No, no way. Although the man had a lot of shortcomings, he still wouldn't do anything so boring and moronic. Otherwise, no matter how much he paid, Ji XiaoYu would decide it wasn't worth it.

The more he thought it over, the more uneasy he was. This was wrong; there had to be something wrong here.

Ji XiaoYu drove to the factory entrance, turned on all the car lights, found a small flashlight from the glovebox, and then got out of the car after turning it off.

At two o'clock in the morning, the night was thick, the wind was cold, and there was complete, dead silence all around.

As he walked in with all his senses on guard, he called out from side to side, “Cheng Zong, I'm here, where are you?

“Cheng Zong, come out now, stop playing high-and-seek.

“Cheng Zong, if you don't come out, I'll leave you here alone and go back to sleep.”

After entering the yard, he couldn't see his feet anymore and tripped over a few bricks on the ground.

At this moment, the surrounding area suddenly lit up due to emergency flood lights turned on in several directions simultaneously, the cold beams of white light cast into the yard.

Disoriented, Ji XiaoYu squinted. When he opened his eyes again, he suddenly found there was an old chair about three meters ahead. The man he was looking for was sitting in the chair, bound up with a thick hemp rope.

He was covered in dirt and his thin s.h.i.+rt and trousers were all muddy and b.l.o.o.d.y. His head hung before his body, his gla.s.ses gone to who knew where. His face was blue and purple, blood-stained, so that he was almost unrecognizable.

Ji XiaoYu gasped and the blood in his body seemed to be frozen by the cold wind. His hands and feet became cold.

No, no way. This wasn't the Cheng YuTang he knew. The man has always been neat and elegant, graceful and poised. Even when he was drunk, he was still handsome enough to captivate someone. How can he be this filthy, how could he look so lifeless?

It couldn't be him!

Or he was having a nightmare and all he was seeing was an illusion!

Ji XiaoYu, you idiot, quickly wake up! Why are you having such a terrible dream?!

“*Cough cough*……”

The man in the chair suddenly moved, his chest undulating as he coughed a few times. Then he slowly raised his head and the confused eyes which had lost the lenses that usually obscured them met Ji XiaoYu's gaze.

Seconds later, he struggled fiercely and shouted in a low-pitched voice, “Baby, go quickly, get out of here right now!”

A burst of sour heat hit Ji XiaoYu's eyes and he lunged forward like an arrow shot from a bow to hug him, saying in a trembling voice, “Who, who beat you up like this?”

“Leave me, just go!” Cheng YuTang urged, coughing as he spoke, blood constantly leaking from his lips in a foam, “Ji XiaoYu, I command you, go now…… *cough cough*……”

Ji XiaoYu's heart twisted just from listening him, so he couldn't help but open his mouth, “Cheng YuTang, shut up, don't speak!” He hurried to untie the rope around his body.

But before he could find the knot, there was a clatter of footsteps in the empty factory building. A group of people rushed over in great numbers from both sides and blocked the factory gate tightly.

Ji XiaoYu's hands paused. He slowly turned around, glancing at them and estimating a total of more than 20 men, each and every one holding some sort of weapon in his hands.

A bald-headed man with a fierce expression came out of the crowd, spitting heavily on the ground. He grinned fiercely, saying, “f.u.c.k, the back door arrangements of these two queer lovers are interesting. Today's a real eye-opener. But also, otherwise, this one wouldn't read the message and come to my door on his own. 'Baby', that's you, right? Hahaha, that's nauseating enough to kill, Laozi's term for girls shouldn't be used like that!"

The group of bad guys burst into a chorus of laughter.

Ji XiaoYu grimaced and directly tore the hemp rope off Cheng YuTang, and then pulled him by one hand, saying, “Let's go!”

“My right leg is probably broken, I can't walk.” Cheng YuTang stood up. But he didn't take even a step before he fell back and sat down. He just sighed. “Such a dangerous place, you should have figured out what was happening on the way. Little fool, you shouldn't have come.”

“I'm not a fool.” Ji XiaoYu's heart ached, “I'm your bodyguard. If I don't come, who will pick you up?”

Cheng YuTang smiled and coughed again, then he whispered, “Wait until you have a chance and run. Call the police and bring people over to save me, okay?”

Ji XiaoYu said, “Not okay.”

Cheng YuTang frowned, “Can't you be a little obedient? You won't listen to the president's words?”

Ji XiaoYu provoked him, “You're so annoying, I'm not going to be obedient this time, so how can you make me?” He looked at the man's sullen expression and couldn't keep himself from bending over and kissing him quickly on his b.l.o.o.d.y forehead. “Uncle Cheng, you rest a.s.sured, I'm going to beat them all up.”

Cheng YuTang: “……”

With a slight blush, Ji XiaoYu took off his coat and draped it over him, so that he was only wearing an old white t-s.h.i.+rt. Then he turned and said coldly, “You all are the accomplices of the traffickers from last month, right?”

“Yo ho, pretty smart,” the baldie said as he brought up a flood light to look at Ji XiaoYu's face. Then he stared in surprise and swallowed a bit, “Don't speak but this little rabbit looks better than a woman with fine skin and tender flesh. It's no wonder that Ning Cheng's richest man, Cheng Zong, is so dazed and confused. Last time, weren't Zhang LaoSan and them all thrown into a ditch because they got all h.o.r.n.y over this guy? You all be careful with your hands, don't damage that face, Laozi is going to try some foreign meat tonight!”

Cheng YuTang heard this shouting and said angrily, “The arrest of the traffickers was because I called the police. I'm the one who beat them up personally too. It has nothing to do with him! Let him go. If you have a problem, come at me!”

“Cheng Zong, don't worry, we'll settle our debts with you. But for now, Laozi wants to have fun first.” The baldie said sinisterly, “What are you all doing in a daze? Capture that little rabbit for me!”

Ji XiaoYu clenched his fists, his knuckles popping lightly, and a red mist appeared over his vision.

Actually daring to think of this little master as a rabbit, let them die.

And those who dare to move on this little master, let them die even more!

Six grinning gangsters holding steel pipes surrounded them. Ji XiaoYu stood motionless in place. When the men were about a meter away, he suddenly moved, lifting his leg in a sweeping whirlwind. The six men immediately flew out in all directions, as if they were pins that had been hit hard by a bowling ball. After falling to the ground, they all didn't move again.

The rest of the gangsters: “……”

The expression on the baldie's face was as if he had swallowed a toad. He paused for a moment before waving his hands viciously, "Together with Laozi!"

More than a dozen men screamed and rushed forward, like the raging dark tide, surrounding Ji XiaoYu in an air-tight formation, with a pressure that could crush a man to death.

Unfortunately, they were not dealing with a man.

Ji XiaoYu threw out his fists, kicked out his legs, and leaped and jumped. His movements were lightweight and beautiful. He was like a fluttering, flying bird. In the time it would take to drink a cup of coffee, with his gongfu, the group of gangsters, including the baldie, were laid out flat on the ground.

Even knowing the little thing had skills, the scene in front of him still completely stunned Cheng YuTang.

Last time when the traffickers were dealt with, he was too slow making it to the yard. So by the time he came in, Ji XiaoYu had already put all the men down and he didn't see him doing it. At this moment, he witnessed it and the shock made him speechless.

After living for more than 30 years and traveling over most of the world, he was very knowledgeable. But he had never seen anyone who had such a skills as Ji XiaoYu's in reality. If he wasn't actually here right now, he would have thought that the scene was just a special effect shot in a fantasy movie.

Ji XiaoYu hadn't had such a good fight in a long time. Turning around and seeing the expression of confusion and astonishment on Cheng YuTang's face, he realized that he had dropped his guard at this moment and overdid it a bit.

Oh no, is this man scared of me?

What to do, how should I explain it?

Say that these bad guys are all weaklings, just totally vulnerable?

Say that I was suddenly possessed by a ghost, giving me a surge of power?

Or just knock him out too, then wait for him to wake up and tell him it was all a dream?

When he was racking his brain to come up with a countermeasure, the baldie struggled to raise his head from where it was half-under the body of one of his men. Then he took a gun from his waist and, with a hideous expression, pulled the trigger.

Both his legs had just been broken, so the huge pain made it impossible for him to aim at the beautiful kid who was moving too quickly, that seemingly-harmless, incredibly violent, pretty boy. But that didn't matter, because there was Cheng YuTang next to him and hitting that one was enough.

When he heard the light sound of a *click* in the air, Ji XiaoYu's heart instantly filled with cold dread. He quickly bent down to pick up a stone from the ground. And, as the bullet roared and flew, he raised his hand and threw it, while at his fastest speed, he dodged back in front of Cheng YuTang to s.h.i.+eld him.

A *bang* sounded. On his white t-s.h.i.+rt, a bright blood-red flower bloomed, opening exactly over his heart.
