Falling Dreams, Rising Hopes: Saving Mr. Boyfriend

Finally, Mei Qingyang reached the bas.e.m.e.nt. Now the bas.e.m.e.nt was totally in contrast to the floor she had been to just now. There was a long narrow corridor and there were rooms on the either side of this passage. She also spotted the guard's name on one of the rooms.

*So, Yu Rong has put me not in students' area but the employees' area? Let's see if Wang Hao is here too.*

No matter how hard she tried, she did not find his name anywhere. Nor did she find any admin's name. Only the cleaners, the security guards and the wait staff. It was clear to see how there was a demarcation amongst a.d.u.l.ts as well in this school. And the superintendents were put here in this dungeon while they were equivalent to a teacher's position in the school? How did no one ever report this at all?

She finally reached her room at the end of the corridor in the dingy corner. Even the light outside was not working properly, flickering every couple of seconds. Mei Qingyang felt like lurching her stomach out, especially after high expectations she had developed seeing the first floor.

She resigned to her fate once again and opened the door to the room. It was a small room which looked like it was previously a storage. Although there was not even a speck of dust, it was a very basic place.

There was a small space as soon as you entered the room. One could fit three pairs of shoes side by side there. After the space, it was just and open space. The kitchen and the bedroom and there were not separated by a wall. Only a kitchen counter in the name of boundary.

The room was just big enough to accommodate a twin-size bed. For closet, they had put up a portable garment rack without any coverings. There was a small bath attached with the room. It looked worse than a studio or an efficiency apartment.

However, it was what it was. At least she had a room with its own kitchen and bathroom. She mostly wouldn't be able to host any of her friends in the future, if she ever managed to make one. As long as she had a place to live, that was enough for now.

She put her suitcase down and started preparing for her life here. First, she scanned the apartment for any hidden cameras. Sure enough, she found two, one in the painting on the wall and one in the kitchen. Very sly of people, don't want to give her freedom at all. She wondered if any of her predecessors had any idea how they were being spied on all the time.

But the position of the cameras was so obvious. The painting was out of place to begin with in an otherwise empty place without even a table and chair. A person with a more than normal intelligence would have been able to figure it out.

Next, she put on her laptop away from the cameras and hacked into the camera feed to make sure that she could easily access them whenever required. Then she started downloading some of the videos by two cameras, so she could use them in the future. She was laughing at the stupidity of these guys. There was no mechanism to alert Yu Rong that the feeds were hacked or the stream she was getting from these spy cameras was fake.

Guess, she had grown complacent because she was able to defeat the previous people in her position and kill them all. What she did not know was that Mei Qingyang was trained by best of best people. This was a child's play for her. They should not have underestimated her. But this might become a weapon for her as well. She just needed to act tough and strong on outside and a weakling on the inside.

This was going to be a long, long day setting everything up. In the terms of not falling for the traps, she was doing great till now. That is what Mei Qingyang thought. In the future, she had wished multiple times that someone had warned her beforehand that this whole mission of hers was a trap in itself.

"Why did you stop me then? She humiliated me in front of all those people! I should have slapped her then and there. Hmph!", the rich brat was still not over, over whatever had happened two hours ago in the main hall.

"Master, you don't understand. She was way too confident.", the servant responded.

"And so what? She is probably someone new who doesn't know the rules of the school. Did you not see her suitcase?"

"No master, listen to me. Earlier I thought so too. But when she challenged you to find her master, I only had one thought. Either she is new and foolish enough to provoke you or she has such a strong backing that her master is unreachable for us. If it's the latter case, we would have been the ones in trouble."

"Now you say it like that, it does make sense. But I am cousin of Gu Layue. Who is beneath her when it comes to status?", the rich brat was quite proud of this blood relation of hers.

"That just means that she might be associated with one of the three Gods of the school or Yu Rong herself. It would be better to proceed with caution then."

"Hmm.. you're growing intelligent by the day. No wonder you've managed to stay by my side for so long. Come here, I'll give you a reward. It's been some time since we have had some fun", the rich brat was quite pleased with this servant.

"Master, you're not…."

"Shhh…", she put her finger on the lips of the furiously blushing man in front of her and started unbuttoning his shirt.
