Chapter 697: Qin Yumo Screaming for Help

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Ceng Xiaoxian, who was supposed to work the night shift, was still fast asleep.

Hu Yifei directly smashed the door with brute force.

Ceng Xiaoxian, utterly speechless, got up wearing his dinosaur pajamas.

He then opened the door and listlessly asked Hu Yifei, "Hu Yifei, what are you doing? Can't you let me sleep for a bit!"

"You can dream on!"

Hu Yifei directly clenched her fist.

Ceng Xiaoxian was so scared he immediately stepped back half a pace.

Then,

Hu Yifei checked Ceng Xiaoxian's bedroom, and then asked viciously, "Where is Lu Ziqiao?! Where is Lu Ziqiao?"

"I don't know?"

Ceng Xiaoxian said with a completely confused expression, "He borrowed some money from me yesterday saying he had something to do, and then disappeared. Hey, don't say it, it really seems like we haven't seen Lu Ziqiao or Chen Meijia for a few days. What are they doing? Did they elope?!"

After Ceng Xiaoxian finished speaking, he looked at Hu Yifei with a gossipy expression.

Hu Yifei, however, said angrily, "Elope my ass! Lu Ziqiao and Chen Meijia secretly ran off to the Imperial Capital, and then Lu Ziqiao left Meijia alone and came back. Meijia was caught by the police for stealing!"

"What?!"

Ceng Xiaoxian's small eyes immediately widened roundly, "This can't be true, right?! Lu Ziqiao wouldn't be so shameless, would he?"

"Lu Ziqiao is just a scumbag!"

Hu Yifei gritted her teeth, "Damn it, don't let me see him. If I see him, I'll definitely cripple him!"

Seeing this, Ceng Xiaoxian hurriedly said, "Hu Yifei, Hu Yifei, don't be impulsive. There must be a misunderstanding in here, really, there must be a misunderstanding!"

"Misunderstanding my ass!"

Hu Yifei looked around, confirming no one else was there.

She immediately turned and left.

Ceng Xiaoxian helplessly closed the door and was just about to lie down again.

Hu Yifei suddenly kicked the door open with one foot, looked carefully, confirmed no one was there, and then looked at Ceng Xiaoxian and said, "Lend me money!"

"???"

Ceng Xiaoxian was speechless; who borrows money with such audacity?!

Ceng Xiaoxian was just about to speak up and refuse.

Hu Yifei narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze carrying killing intent.

Ceng Xiaoxian had to immediately change his tune, "How much?"

"20,000, I guess."

Hu Yifei gave a number, "I gave all my money to Zhanbo, so I can't take it out for now. Meijia said they need to pay a fine over there, and might also have to compensate the owner for losses, so 20,000 should be about enough."

"Alright."

Ceng Xiaoxian opened his phone and directly transferred 50,000 to Hu Yifei, then said very heartbrokenly, "Hu Yifei, that's all I have, so spend it carefully..."

Hu Yifei took a look, her eyebrows furrowing slightly, "Ceng Xiaoxian, so you have money after all, yet you cry poverty in front of me every day. I'll take this money first. If Meijia doesn't pay you back later, I'll pay you back."

"By the way, I'm heading to the airport in a while to meet Meijia. You tell Zhanbo that I have something to do and will be back in a few days. I don't even know how long I'll be gone this time."

After finishing speaking,

Hu Yifei finally turned and left.

Ceng Xiaoxian kept watching Hu Yifei stride out the main gate.

Only then did he close the door again.

After a while,

Ceng Xiaoxian said with a cold face, "Come out, Hu Yifei is gone."

"Teacher Zeng, you really are a good friend!"

Lu Ziqiao opened the Yigui Sect door and walked out, immediately giving Ceng Xiaoxian a thumbs-up, "I didn't make friends with you for nothing. In life-and-death situations, you really are reliable! A true friend!"

"Get lost!"

Ceng Xiaoxian cursed angrily, then asked, "Lu Ziqiao, explain clearly. What exactly happened to Meijia? How did she end up in the police station?!"

"Hey, how would I know..."

Lu Ziqiao, with a completely indifferent expression, said directly, "Actually, here's what happened, Teacher Zeng."

"Qin Yumo was filming in the Imperial Capital, right? She said she was doing some short drama, making tens of thousands a month. Then Meijia got tempted and asked Qin Yumo if she could go. Qin Yumo showed Meijia's photo to the director, the director said yes, and then Meijia got tempted..."

"This was Meijia's first time going to the Imperial Capital. Wasn't she scared? So she insisted on dragging me along. I thought, well, I have nothing to do anyway, so I accompanied her!"

"But who knew, when we arrived in the Imperial Capital, Meijia called Qin Yumo and only then found out Qin Yumo had gone into the mountains to film and wouldn't be back for several days. Then Meijia didn't want to ask Qin Yumo for money, so she could only rely on her own little bit of money to live in the Imperial Capital..."

"As for me, I thought since I finally made it to the Imperial Capital, I had to go sightseeing and have some fun. Who knew that just by sightseeing and having fun, Meijia ran out of money..."

"What to do when there's no money? Come back, of course. But I didn't expect Meijia to absolutely refuse to come back. I really had no choice, so I had to ask you for the fare and came back alone. As for Meijia, I really don't know!"

"Teacher Zeng, if I had known Meijia would steal things just to stay in the Imperial Capital, I would have brought her back no matter what. Really, believe me, Teacher Zeng, I, Lu Ziqiao, am not that kind of person!"

"..."

After Lu Ziqiao finished speaking,

Ceng Xiaoxian was speechless.

After a while,

Ceng Xiaoxian pointed at the door and said coldly, "Lu Ziqiao, get out!"

"Teacher Zeng, this really isn't my fault!"

Hearing this, Lu Ziqiao wanted to argue again.

Zeng Xiaoxian directly grabbed a pillow and hurled it at Lu Ziqiao: "Get out, get lost, get lost!"

"Fine, fine, fine, I'm leaving, I'm leaving."

Lu Ziqiao helplessly opened the door and went out, but before leaving, he still tossed back a sentence: "Teacher Zeng, why don't you lend me another 200 for a meal? I really have no money left!"

"Get lost—!"

Zeng Xiaoxian roared, and a pillow flew straight from inside the room to outside.

Lu Ziqiao helplessly picked up the pillow and tossed it onto the sofa, then immediately knocked on the door of 3601 next door: "Youyou, Guangu, open the door, 270, I need your help with something..."

4 PM,

Hu Yifei landed,

then without stopping, directly hailed a taxi and rushed toward the Balihe Police Station.

In the car,

Hu Yifei even called Qin Yumo,

coincidentally,

Qin Yumo had already finished filming in the mountains and was riding the crew's vehicle back to the Imperial Capital,

upon receiving Hu Yifei's call,

Qin Yumo was very happy: "Yifei, how could you bring yourself to call me?"

"Yumo, where are you? Are you busy right now?"

Hu Yifei asked three questions in a row,

Qin Yumo was somewhat bewildered: "I'm in the car, Yifei, just finished filming, probably back in the Imperial Capital around 7, what's wrong?"

Hu Yifei didn't beat around the bush, saying directly: "Yumo, Meijia is in trouble, it seems she was caught by the police for attempted theft, now she's locked up in the Balihe Police Station. I've already arrived in the Imperial Capital and am rushing to the station."

"Yumo, do you have anyone influential in the Imperial Capital? Help me find them, let's figure out a way to get Meijia out as soon as possible, can you?"

"Ah?"

Qin Yumo exclaimed "Ah" in great surprise, then immediately said: "Yifei, don't panic, I'll call my boss right now, you absolutely must not panic."

Hanging up the phone,
