Falling Dreams, Rising Hopes: Saving Mr. Boyfriend

"Wha… what do you mean?" Mei Qingyang's eyes darted around after listening to such a straightforward question. She was also amused by how direct this girl was.

"Hmm… nothing much. Just know that my friends are too precious to me. If you have any schemes against them, there shall be consequences.", Fan Ruyi unhooked her arms with Qingyang and smiled. Her aura contained so much pressure that Mei Qingyang started feeling a little uncomfortable with this girl. What was she trying to pull off? Was she a friend or a foe?

"How envious!", she blurted out suddenly.

"Haha, why would you say that?", Fan Ruyi chuckled, curious at her statement.

"Ah… no! I did not mean anything by that. I am just envious how close you guys seem to be. You would even warn me like this for the sake of your friends.", this kind of relationship really warmed hearts, didn't it? It seemed that friendship between these four was above all their family matters and scheming and plotting, despite everyone being from top families of the country.

"Hey, if you haven't realized yet, you are half a part of this group. Those guys would not mobilize their people like this if they did not care about you. And even if they do not, I would be more than happy to be your friend. I have been looking forward to addition of a girl in the group since the beginning anyway." Fan Ruyi was such a pleasing personality. Her words really had an impact on people around. Mei Qingyang's heart was filled with more warmth. She lowered her head and smiled in gratitude. Truth or not, she was just happy to listen to those words, even if they were empty.

The guys definitely did not put her into their hearts. She was just a person they needed to be wary of and keep an eye on. Perhaps she had created too big a drama just now, Yu Tian had to personally console her that way. Which reminded her, Fan Ruyi did say that he had, kind of, gotten over his haphephobia. He had to, to hug her like that, right? A tinge of pink appeared on her cheeks thinking about it.

---------------------------------

"What do you mean there is nothing?", Yu Rong was pacing back and forth in her room. Wang Hao was standing by her side and another guy was giving her the report of whatever had happened just now.

"We…. we don't know anything. By the time we reached there, all the guys were on the ground. We… we don't think she could have done it alone. They even had steel rods. Even Yu Tian would struggle in such a fight….", the guy was trembling.

"What about the camera feeds? There is a reason we have cameras in every corner of the school!", Yu Rong thundered on the poor guy.

"They…. they were all deleted by someone. It's like nothing was recorded. We only came to know because of the chat groups among the students. So, someone had replaced the feeds with some old footage of nothing happening there and that is why the surveillance did not see any activity. Later even that was destroyed.", the guy had knelt down on the floor by now. He was ready to be punished by his master. He had known it was his bad luck that he was chosen to serve as a spy under Yu Tian. That guy was bad news for everyone in his team. And that new girl, she was death of everyone. Ugh!!

"We could not go there ourselves unless we were ordered by Yu Tian. And you had already instructed that leader of the group not to contact anyone amongst us. We just knew the approximate time when they were going to start. If the cameras had recorded what was happening, Yu Tian and the group would have been alerted sooner."

"F*ck this shit. Who! Who is helping her? Why have you not found out who was behind this?", she had swiped her desk clean and all the doc.u.ments were now lying on the floor. Oh, she was so angry. How does this girl get away every time? Was her nephew really helping her? She had put him and his friends under observation. She had even got someone to investigate their private base. There was nothing.

He did go to help her this time but it was supposed to be too late. That wretched girl was supposed to be dead by then. She was waiting to see his despair on seeing that girl dead. But why did this happen? Yu Rong bit her thumb nail in frustration.

"You can go out now if there is nothing else to report.", Wang Hao calmly instructed the guy still trembling on the floor.

"Yes, thank you.", the guy scurried away as soon as he heard the words. At least he did not die today ah!

"Hao, what should I do? This girl is proving to be a bigger headache than I had anticipated. Now that other girl is back, if they become ally, I'll be in peril. Help me out Hao!", she was almost in tears. Seeing such a pitiful state of his master, Wang Hao started running his brain.

"Let me think about it. We have cut her source of communication with outside world for sure. Her laptop also does not show any suspicious activity. We need to find her back-up. Since Fan Ruyi was present on the scene, there are high chances that she instructed her minions to help her out in dealing with those rogues. I shall investigate this. Unfortunately, there were no students present at that time. Even the guy who took initial picture had left the scene soon afterwards, so he did not get to see anything either.", he adjusted his glasses and analyzed further with a serious face.

"To me, it is also suspicious that this guy had intended to stay and witness the whole thing but got a text at exact moment from his girlfriend to meet him then. I further investigated and found out that his girlfriend had never texted him and both of them are still spooked out by the incident." He glanced at his madam who plopped down in her chair and put her head in her hands.

"Were you able to find out who was behind this then?", she asked half present in the moment, half thinking elsewhere.

"My investigation points to Z, the country's top hacker.", Wang Hao concluded his report.
