Chapter 924: The Unusuals: Side Story 14, Oops, That’s the Feeling of Falling in Love

“Fuck!”

When Zhan Yao learned that Xiao Yebai had been arrested by the police for getting into a fight, he was absolutely stunned.

After all, from the first day he met him, Xiao Yebai had always been that type of cold-blooded creature devoid of empathy.

He was arrogant but aloof, intelligent but detached, without friends even among his peers in school, solely devoted to researching various topics every day…

Getting into a fight was such a hot-blooded, youthful activity, it didn’t fit him at all!

In the morning, after finishing a phone call from a colleague at the Quebec Police Station, he immediately made a WeChat video call to Xiao Yebai.

But after a few rings, it was answered as a voice call instead.

Anxious, Zhan Yao asked, “Yebai, are you okay?”

“I’m fine.”

His voice sounded normal enough.

Zhan Yao heaved a sigh of relief. “Were you beaten up? Does it hurt?”

Xiao Yebai didn’t answer.

The police said he fought with a young man in his early twenties.

Foreigners, they’re all so tall and strong, especially when they’re young and robust…

Just thinking of Xiao Yebai’s handsome face, possibly now swollen and bruised from being beaten by a foreigner, looking crooked and askew…

And because of the time difference, there was no one to bail him out, so he spent the entire night at the police station…

Zhan Yao sighed.

What a pity, it’s rare to see the brat brought so low, and he wasn’t there to see it.

The brat didn’t answer the video call, probably because he was too embarrassed to show his face, right?

“Look at you, almost thirty years old, why can’t you stay calm? What happened, how did that young guy provoke you into fighting?”

Xiao Yebai remained silent.

He must be feeling quite ashamed as well…

But come on! A fight with a boy almost ten years his junior and losing, does that sound like something a CEO of a listed company would do?

Luckily it happened abroad where nobody knows who he is.

If it were in Nancheng…

It would probably make the news headlines, blow up on the internet, with netizens adding fuel to the fire with all kinds of exposes…

Cough cough, Zhan Yao felt he was being too unsympathetic.

So he asked, “What happened? I heard that you guys were fighting at the princess’s villa, was it because you couldn’t find her or because…”

“She’s gone.”

Zhan Yao paused, “So you didn’t find her?”

Just as he had expected…

“She’s gone,” Xiao Yebai repeated, “The neighbors said she left yesterday afternoon, I was just one step too late.”

“Okay, okay, don’t panic,” Zhan Yao said quickly, “If that’s the case, you should come back first. I’ll send someone to look for her immediately, don’t worry. Now that we have the child’s videos and photos, it should be easier to find her…”

“We won’t find her,” Xiao Yebai suddenly said.

“Why?”

Xiao Yebai said, “She won’t let me find her.”

“Yebai…” Zhan Yao clenched his phone.

Although Xiao Yebai’s voice sounded quite normal, Zhan Yao still sensed an uneasy emotion.

The braggart from yesterday afternoon, who had eagerly claimed Nuonuo looked a lot like him, had flown all the way to Quebec in such a rush, only to come up empty-handed…

Over the past three years, they had received similar tips and leads, but each time they were false alarms.

And this time, Xiao Yebai had so much faith in Chen Jin’s words. He was given hope, yet it all ended up being in vain.

He had even seen the place where the Little Princess once lived with the child…

It’s no wonder he would have an emotional breakdown and even get into a fight that landed him in the police station…

“When do you plan to come back?” Zhan Yao asked.

Seeing that the man didn’t answer, he said helplessly, “Alright, I’ll come over to join you right away. Take care of yourself, don’t act rashly anymore. Rest assured, now with one more clue about the child, we will find her soon…”

On the other side of the phone, Xiao Yebai didn’t say anything, just hung up.

Zhan Yao was frantic, put down his phone, and rushed out of the office.

“Boss, boss!”

At the elevator entrance, Gu Pingting suddenly rushed over from somewhere and grabbed his arm.

“What is it!”

“Boss!” Gu Pingting said with a cheerful smile, “This case is closed, and the higher-ups said it’s all done after going to Yurui Law Firm and meeting with the lawyer today. When do we leave?”

“I don’t have time, I’m going abroad.”

“Going abroad? Boss, you have a new case and you’re not taking me with you!” Gu Pingting complained indignantly.

“Not related to that!” Zhan Yao didn’t bother to explain, “You go handle the law firm matter, I may be gone for a few days. If anything comes up, call me, I’m leaving.”

“Boss, you can’t do this to me, hey, boss…”

Zhan Yao entered the elevator like a gust of wind.

The elevator doors closed, and Gu Pingting huffed in annoyance, only to collect her stuff alone and then set out for the law firm.

**

Half an hour later.

It was 9:40 in the morning, and at that time, Lawyer Lu probably hadn’t arrived at work yet.

With the interactions over the past three years due to work opportunities, Gu Pingting had become very familiar with the people at Yurui Law Firm, especially close with Lawyer Lu’s assistant. The only exception was Lawyer Lu…

Every time they met, he had that stoic face, and always seemed to avoid her with a wary look.

Stingy…

He probably still held a grudge from the time she knocked him over.

“Miss Gu, this way,” Jing Su, the lawyer handling the case, led Gu Pingting enthusiastically to the conference room upstairs.

Gu Pingting couldn’t help but glance at the office in front of her.

The door was ajar.

Could it be…

“Has Lawyer Lu arrived?”

“Yes, yes,” Jing Su said with a smile, “We have a new person joining our firm today, so he came in particularly early. Usually, he doesn’t get here until 10.”

“Really?” Gu Pingting was a bit surprised, “Male or female?”

Unlike other law firms, Yurui Law Firm was filled almost entirely with sharp and capable male lawyers, with very few female lawyers. She wondered whether it was because Lawyer Lu was gay—after all, proximity could facilitate opportunities, and it’s easier to go for the ‘low-hanging fruit’…

Like this Jing Lawyer in front of her, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, fair-skinned, with a gentle smile, seemed somewhat similar to Lu Chenyu in appearance. Perhaps he was also Lu’s type?

“A woman.” Lawyer Jing couldn’t imagine the female officer opposite him already grouped him under Lawyer Lu’s clients?

“Exceptionally beautiful, I heard she’s returned from advanced studies at a first-class law school in Quebec. Her name is something…”

Just then, an assistant came in with coffee. Lawyer Jing quickly asked, “What’s the name of the new lawyer?”

The assistant said, “Are you talking about Miss Mo?”

Miss Mo?

Gu Pingting’s eyes lit up.

In Nancheng, a woman with the surname Mo, and exceptionally beautiful?

“Oh right, surnamed Mo.” Lawyer Jing remembered, “I’ve only been working here for three years. I’ve heard Miss Mo is Lawyer Lu’s proud protégé, specially sent abroad for three years of further study before coming back. I’m afraid she’s going to become the face of our law firm soon… Miss Gu? Miss Gu? Where are you going, Miss Gu?”

…

With a “bang,” the half-closed door was slammed open.

Lu Chenyu was holding a coffee cup, and due to the noise, his hand shook and the scalding coffee poured into his mouth.

Damn—

It’s really freaking hot.

“Weiyi!” Gu Pingting charged in like a cannonball, her voice as excited as if she were greeting a long-lost relative, “Weiyi! It really is you! Oh my God! Weiyi, Weiyi, Weiyi…”

Mo Weiyi: “…”

Her body was embraced, and Gu Pingting’s sobbing voice erupted, “I’m so happy, you’re finally back. Do you know how sad I’ve been these three years? I feel so guilty, it’s all my fault. Back then, I should not have treated you like that. If it weren’t for me… you wouldn’t have left… Weiyi, I was wrong, will you forgive me, please Weiyi…”

Mo Weiyi could only raise her hand to pat her back, “Come on, I don’t blame you, it’s okay now, Pingting. It’s all in the past, stop crying.”

Gu Pingting sniffled, finally letting go of her.

After looking her up and down, she spoke, and a snot bubble formed on her nose, “Weiyi, you’re so beautiful, even more beautiful than you were before.”

Mo Weiyi again: “…”

Having no choice, she reached for a tissue and handed it over, “Wipe yourself.”

Gu Pingting felt embarrassed, hurriedly taking the tissue and wiping away her snot.

Mo Weiyi then turned to look at the person beside her, “Master, are you okay?”

Lu Chenyu frowned, a handsome anger on his face, as he raised a finger to his glasses, “Miss Gu.”

Only then did Gu Pingting come back to her senses, hastily saying, “I’m sorry, Lawyer Lu. I was so excited when I heard Weiyi was back that I burst in. I didn’t scare you, did I?”

“Get out.” Lu Chenyu continued with a dark face.

He wasn’t scared.

But damned if…

His tongue was nearly in agony.

Gu Pingting was speechless, “Got it.”

As she turned to leave, she didn’t forget to say to Mo Weiyi, “Weiyi, I’ll go settle the case first, then I’ll come back to find you later.”

Mo Weiyi bent her red lips into a smile, “Go ahead.”

Not until Gu Pingting left and closed the door did Lu Chenyu take a deep breath, “Is your living place arranged properly?”

Mo Weiyi replied, “Because it was so rushed, I just stayed in the villa next to Wanwan’s house temporarily after coming back last night. I’ll move out once I find a place in the next couple of days.”

It was the villa previously inhabited by Fu Xihan, a friend of Huo Jingshen. Because Fu Xihan returned to the United Kingdom with his wife and children, that room had been empty. Since Su Wanwan was particularly enthusiastic, wanting to continue living together, they let them stay there temporarily.

Honestly, it was because of the jet lag and also because she felt unnerved being so close to home, Mo Weiyi didn’t sleep well all of last night. In contrast, little Nuonuo had slept from the plane straight through to home, hardly opening her eyes to see anyone…

She envied the carefree, unconcerned life of a child.

After waking up in the morning, she immediately reported to the law firm.

At that time, Nuonuo hadn’t woken up yet…

“About the matter you mentioned, I suggest letting Lawyer Jing take over for now,” Lu Chenyu explained. “He joined us three years ago, is 28 years old this year, very professional and calm, and he’s adept at handling these kinds of interest dispute cases. Plus, he doesn’t know you from before, so there’s no question of partiality. His current case ends today. I’ll call him in later, and you two can communicate.”

Mo Weiyi nodded, “Thank you, Master.”

Lu Chenyu pursed his lips, then suddenly asked, “Does Xiao Yebai know you’re back?”

“He should know,” Mo Weiyi replied indifferently.

After all, Rong An had already found out last night that Chen Jin returned to the country and directly went to Mo Group to work as a marketing promotion specialist.

Lu Chenyu nodded, saying nothing more.

…

Twenty minutes later, a young lawyer in a crisp suit entered the room.

“Lawyer Lu, you wanted to see me.”

Lu Chenyu stood up, introducing the two.

Jing Su looked at Mo Weiyi, a clear sparkle in his eyes.

When Mo Weiyi followed Lu Chenyu in the morning, he caught only a glimpse and had no time for a closer look, just the impression of a stunning beauty.

Now, face to face, she was even more breathtaking.

She wasn’t wearing a professional suit, but the long dress she had on seemed to suit her even more.

Its bright colors complemented her delicate features, adorned with minimal makeup—her beauty was arresting.

Especially with her hair that fell to her waist, its fullness and curliness just right…

“Cough cough.”

Lu Chenyu gave two heavy coughs.

Jing Su snapped back to attention, looking awkward, “I apologize, I…I was distracted.”

Mo Weiyi extended her hand, “Hello, I’m Mo Weiyi.”

“Hello, my name is Jing Su.” Jing Su hurriedly shook her hand.

The soft, boneless sensation was unexpectedly thrilling.

Jing Su: “…”

Damn, this was the feeling of a heartbeat.

Mom, I’ve found true love…

“Cough cough cough.”

Lu Chenyu coughed again.

Mo Weiyi also: “…”

Are we sure this lawyer is sufficiently professional and calm?

**

As for the conference room.

After finishing with her case, the first thing Gu Pingting did was excitedly call Zhan Yao to tell her boss the good news about Mo Weiyi’s return.

But…

[I’m sorry, the phone you have dialed is powered off.]

No way, he turned off his phone so soon?
