Chapter 131: Internet Cafe Secrets

"Yes, I saw him yesterday afternoon, right at the internet cafe at the school gate. I originally wanted to chase after him and ask why he hadn't come to class, but by the time I chased over, he was gone. I even thought I had seen wrong!" Chen Ling said.

"Are you telling the truth? Was it really Liu Shuang yesterday? You didn't see wrong?" I grabbed Chen Ling, feeling somewhat agitated.

"Brother Yang Yun, be gentle, you're hurting me!" Chen Ling looked at me, frowning, her expression showing pain.

Only then did I realize I was indeed a bit agitated. I hurriedly let go of Chen Ling awkwardly and said apologetically, "Sorry, I didn't mean to. I was just surprised to hear this news!"

"You weren't on good terms with Liu Shuang before, why are you so concerned about him now?" Chen Ling gently rubbed her arm to ease the pain from just now.

"After all, we were classmates, just showing some concern!" I used a very lame excuse to explain.

"I am certain I didn't see wrong. It was definitely Liu Shuang at the time, but I don't know why, when I went over, the person was already gone!" Chen Ling recalled carefully and said with certainty.

Getting Chen Ling's confirmation, I was surprised. It seemed that the internet cafe really had some issues. If Liu Shuang had appeared yesterday, it meant that Liu Shuang should still be fine for now. It might be because Liu Shuang still had some use in Li Hong's hands; after all, an expert created by a strengthening potion was also very precious. If he were killed easily, it would be too much of a loss. Moreover, Li Hong still had Liu Shuang's family as a threat, so if he were told to do anything, Liu Shuang certainly wouldn't refuse.

However, this internet cafe should be a very interesting place. I thought for a moment and decided to go there and take a look.

Seeing me stunned for a long time without speaking, Chen Ling hurriedly asked me, "Brother Yang Yun, what's wrong with you? What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing, I was just thinking if Liu Shuang encountered any trouble and if he needs our help. But since we can't even see the person now, thinking about it is useless. Let's wait until we see him next time to talk about it!" I said with a smile.

"Alright, let's go over and take a look after school. By the way, Brother Yang Yun, do you usually go online to play games?" Chen Ling asked happily.

"Alright, let's go over and take a look after school. As for playing games, I don't have that hobby!" I usually didn't go online or play games, mainly because there was no computer or broadband at home. After all, my family conditions were poor, and I had no money for such things.

"Ah, I don't like it either. Wait for me after school, Brother Yang Yun!" Chen Ling said hurriedly.

After returning to my seat, I told Hearing Zhang Yinuo that we were going to the internet cafe after school and also told her about Liu Shuang. Hearing Zhang Yinuo didn't object to my approach, but she still wanted to follow me.

After school, Chen Ling, Hearing Zhang Yinuo, and I walked on the road and arrived at the internet cafe at the school gate. However, we didn't have the same luck as Chen Ling yesterday and didn't find any sign of Liu Shuang. The three of us entered the internet cafe. The air inside made the two girls extremely uncomfortable; the smell of smoke, smelly feet, and instant noodles in the internet cafe were all mixed together, making the two girls extremely unaccustomed to it. However, they both still chose machines.

I went online with them. Due to the appearance of two beauties, many gazes in the internet cafe were focused on us.

I stood up and turned around the internet cafe, but I didn't find Liu Shuang's figure. If that was the case, there was likely something fishy in the internet cafe. There should be other doors or places that could lead to another area, otherwise, the situation where Liu Shuang entered here and suddenly disappeared couldn't be explained.

When I returned, I saw that Chen Ling and Hearing Zhang Yinuo had actually gotten into a conflict with others.

A skinny monkey-looking, very lewd man was leering at Chen Ling and Hearing Zhang Yinuo and said, "Two little beauties, you look so pretty. Coming here to go online? What do you want to eat? Big brother will treat you!"

"Sorry, no need!" Hearing Zhang Yinuo said indifferently, while Chen Ling was still browsing some study websites and the like.

"Don't be so polite. You don't need to spend your own money, big brother will treat you!" The lewd skinny man slowly approached Hearing Zhang Yinuo's side and actually reached out to touch Hearing Zhang Yinuo's face. Hearing Zhang Yinuo subconsciously dodged and then said with a cold snort, "Please have some self-respect!"

"Yo, you have personality, I like it!" The lewd skinny man licked his lips excitedly and leered.

"What about this little sister? Still in school? What do you want to learn? Big brother will teach you. How about big brother takes you to a big room tonight for a proper 1-on-1 teaching session?" The lewd skinny man saw Chen Ling on the side, his eyes lit up, and he excitedly wanted to reach out.

However, just as this lewd man was about to touch Chen Ling, Hearing Zhang Yinuo grabbed the lewd man's hand and twisted it back. Then, only a 'crack' sound was heard, and the lewd man screamed, "Ah, ah, ah, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

"Watch your hands, otherwise I won't be so polite next time!" After Hearing Zhang Yinuo finished speaking, she kicked the lewd man directly. The lewd man crashed heavily into the computer desk behind him, scaring the people beside him into hurriedly dodging.

Hearing Zhang Yinuo had already been very gentle. If she had really attacked, I reckon this person before us would have been gone long ago.

The lewd man slowly stood up, pointed at Chen Ling and Hearing Zhang Yinuo, and cursed angrily, "Stinking bitches, you're quite spicy, you know martial arts, right? You just wait!"

After speaking, the lewd man hurriedly slipped away. Looking at this situation, he was likely going to find reinforcements.

Seeing this situation, Chen Ling grabbed Hearing Zhang Yinuo's arm on the side and said, "Sister Zhang, shouldn't we leave quickly now?"

"No rush, wait for Yang Yun to come back!" Hearing Zhang Yinuo didn't take the person from just now to heart at all.

At this time, I returned and saw Hearing Zhang Yinuo and the others, so I hurriedly asked, "How is it? Are you two okay?"

"It's fine, if it weren't for Sister Zhang just now, I would have been miserable. Thanks to Sister Zhang!" Chen Ling said excitedly.

I nodded. This place was indeed very unsafe for girls. There were all kinds of people in the internet cafe. Most of these people were good-for-nothings; they were either hanging out in society or skipping school to go online. They had no jobs and no pursuit in life. Only a small number of people were truly here to go online.

I thought for a moment and said, "Let's leave first, let's get out of here!"

I had basically seen everything here, and there was simply no sign of Liu Shuang. Staying here was useless. I decided to come over at night when there were fewer people to see if I could find any other clues. ===== CHAPTER 132 =====
