Shuishui frowned. She had a bad feeling about it. Shuishui saw that they turned towards her, and she quickly turned around to leave. She was ready to walk through the main door. She was not going to use the back door. Teacher Li had trained her to be vigilant. Anyway, it would only take her a few seconds to get to the main door. The men behind her actually quickened their pace and caught up to her.
She cursed and hated that it was happening to her. They were really chasing her. What was their purpose?
As she continued to run, she looked behind her. She then bumped into someone's chest. The man she bumped into was really tough. She rubbed her nose and looked up to see that it was Young Master Hua. It was him again. The men with Young Master Hua stopped the men who were trying to chase Shuishui. "Do you want to go to jail?" his men asked the men who were chasing Shuishui.
"Young Master Hua, don't be nervous. Our young master just wants to talk to you," one of the men said. They pretended to be friendly and smiled. They looked at the girl. They ran after Shuishui because they wanted to see what her relationship with Young Master Hua was.
Young Master Hua was holding the shoulder of Shuishui, who was rubbing her nose.
After a while, Shuishui slapped Young Master Hua's hand away. She was impatient. She said, "I'm leaving. You guys play by yourselves."
"No. You can't leave now. Didn't you see those people? They thought you were in a relationship with me. They were going to use you against me. I'll send you home later. I know you can understand what I'm saying, right?" He smiled wickedly.
Shuishui was not stupid. She understood. Those people must have seen her with the young master. The burly men who chased after her probably intended to threaten Young Master Hua using her. In order to avoid trouble, she agreed that he should send her home. Besides, it was his fault that she got into that mess.
Young Master Hua lowered his head and pursed his lips into a smile. "All right. Don't worry. With me around, they won't dare to hurt you."
Shuishui shook off his hand, which was once again on her shoulder. "Don't touch me," she said angrily.
He knew that girls like Shuishui hated having to repeat themselves. They had bad tempers. Shuishui was exactly his type. He dropped his hand and said, "All right then. Just don't wander around."
The big men who ran after Shuishui earlier had already ignored her. Young Master Hua was their main target.
Their master, Young Master Bian, had a grudge to settle with Young Master Hua. It was indeed not good to involve too many people.
Shuishui walked to the side. As expected, she was in trouble because of Young Master Hua. They walked out of the back door and a car drove over towards them. Shuishui saw that there were several people in the car. As for how many there were, she could not really tell. Young Master Hua winked at his bodyguards and said, "I can go with you, but I have to send her home first."
His bodyguards were hesitant. "Young Master Hua, aren't you making things difficult for us?"
Shuishui looked at his bodyguards and then at the car. "Your people can't get rid of those men?"
"It's not that they can't. Since you're here, I'm worried that they'll use you to threaten us. Those people aren't very kind, even to women. Don't worry. I'll send you back home safely." If Shuishui was not involved, Young Master Hua would have asked his bodyguards to handle it, but he had to consider Shuishui's safety because there were too many men.
He had always been conceited, but Young Master Bian was sinister and cunning. His people were all quite skilled.
Shuishui realized that her presence was causing the delay. Although the big men were martial artists, Shuishui felt that it would be easy for her to get rid of them. When Young Master Hua arrived, she felt that she would not be able to do anything. She found it all so confusing, but she simply got in the car and cooperated. She called Uncle Jiang and told him that she would be home late.
Jiang Yuan asked, "Why are you so late? Should I pick you up?"
Shuishui did not bother to explain further. "Uncle, don't worry. I'm fine. I'll be back later. You should rest early."
When the call ended, she felt dizzy. She had already informed Uncle Jiang, but she was still very worried about having to inform Mu Ziyu. She decided to send him a text message instead of calling him.
Young Master Hua looked at Shuishui's phone. Shuishui shifted her body to block his line of sight. Young Master Hua could not help but laugh. "What big secret are you hiding?"
"It has nothing to do with you." Shuishui kept her phone after she sent her message to Mu Ziyu.
They soon arrived at a nightclub. As they got to the main door, Shuishui already felt the urge to leave. However, the bodyguards were staring at her like tigers watching their prey. She had no choice but to walk into the nightclub with Young Master Hua. It was very noisy, and the music inside was very loud.
They entered the elevator, and a bodyguard pressed the button for the top floor. She was still underage, and she knew that Uncle Jiang and his family would scold her if they found out she had been to that place.
Young Master Hua walked in front and brought Shuishui into a room. The bodyguards stayed outside.
The room was magnificent. It was elegantly decorated. Shuishui did not know how to describe it, but she was sure that it had cost a lot of money.
Young Master Hua casually sat down and pulled Shuishui along. "Young Master Bian, why did you invite me here?"
The chair swiveled and turned towards them, and Shuishui saw a young man in a blue suit. He looked handsome, but his eyes were sharp. He looked different from Young Master Hua. The young man gave off a serious vibe, but Young Master Hua gave off a cynical vibe.
"Of course I'm here to catch up. Is this your new woman?" He had never seen the girl before, and she clearly looked a little young. He looked at Qian Shuishui and wondered when Young Master Hua's taste in women had changed. He remembered that he liked hanging out with sexy, provocative women.
"What has it got to do with you? If there's anything you need, tell me. I still have to send her home later. It's getting late." Young Master Hua was being cynical, but he was being quite repulsive towards Young Master Bian.
Shuishui felt the ******* between the two young men.
She was not interested in their conversation. "Young Master Hua, you guys talk. I'll go to the bathroom and take a walk," she said.
"Hmm. I'll let someone accompany you. This nightclub is a little big, and it can get quite messy out there."
Shuishui no longer objected and simply went out. After her visit to the bathroom, she began to stroll around. There were people watching her from everywhere. They were probably afraid that she would do something.
She soon got to the floor below and suddenly saw someone she knew. It was Uncle Mu. She quickly turned around. She did not want to be recognized. It was already very strange for her to be at a nightclub in the middle of the night, not to mention that she was with a dangerous person. Little did she know that there was someone beside her who kept looking at her. He had a puzzled look on his face.
She rushed upstairs, but she felt even dizzier. Her cell phone started to ring. Mu Ziyu called. She picked up. The top floor was not as noisy as the lower floors.
"Hello, Ziyu." She was a little guilty.
"Where are you?" he asked directly.
"I'm at home." She lied and felt very guilty. She felt that he would be very angry if she told him she was at a nightclub.
"I just talked to Uncle Jiang over the phone. He said you aren't home yet." His voice was still gentle, but Shuishui felt that his tone had changed a bit.
"Uncle Jiang? Uh, something bad happened. I'm going back. Actually, I'm on my way back."
"I was somewhere just now. I think I saw you." He wasn't really sure because he knew that Shuishui wouldn't go to such a place.
Shuishui thought of Uncle Mu. Could it be that Mu Ziyu was also nearby? She felt more guilty and felt that the more lies she told, the more loopholes there were. "Don't worry. I'm on my way home. I'll call you when I arrive, okay?" She did not want to continue talking to him about it. She felt awkward, conflicted, and very guilty.
Mu Ziyu was silent for a moment. "Send me your location."
Shuishui pretended not to hear him and hung up the phone. She returned to the office and went straight to Young Master Hua. "I don't understand why I'm wasting my time here. I'll leave now. There's no need for you to send me off."
She felt that their business had nothing to do with her anyway.
Besides, Young Master Bian's target was Young Master Hua. He had believed that he could use a young woman like her to threaten Young Master Hua and force him into seeing him. She felt that her presence was already useless.
"I'm done. We can go. I'll send you back," Young Master Hua said as he stood up. He turned to Young Master Bian and said, "Think about it carefully. Also, don't mess with the people around me. You know my rules."
"Of course. Don't worry." Young Master Bian raised his hands, indicating that he wouldn't act recklessly. However, his gaze fell on Shuishui. It was rare to see Young Master Hua protect someone like that. It was interesting. He said, "Young Master Hua, if your enemies see how much you value that girl, she will be in trouble. It will put her in danger."
"I know. You don't need to remind me. I have my own arrangements. Your subordinates scared her tonight. Be careful next time." He pulled Shuishui's wrist and left.
When they left, Shuishui shook his hand off. "Hurry up. My family is worried."
"Okay. I'll send you back home now."
They went out of the building together. Shuishui got into Young Master Hua's car and left in a hurry. She did not notice that someone was watching them leave.
When Shuishui got home, she took a shower and called Mu Ziyu.
"Ziyu, I'm home." She realized that there was no sound on the other end. She wondered why Mu Ziyu was unusually quiet.
Suddenly, Mu Ziyu spoke. "I need you to give me an explanation. I saw you at the nightclub, and you got into Young Master Hua's car." Ziyu knew that he could not let Shuishui lie about it. If he had not told her directly about it, she could have covered it up with a lie.
Shuishui's mouth twitched. After thinking for a moment, she explained herself. "Something happened. It was just as I said. I didn't lie. Young Master Hua sent me back. I only went to the nightclub for a stroll."
"I got it. Next time, if you encounter such a thing, just tell me directly. Just trust me." He hoped that Shuishui would trust him and rely on him instead of dealing with things on her own.
"All right. I know, I know. I really didn't think too much at that time. The incident happened suddenly. When I realized that someone was coming after me, I turned around and ran. That's when I met him. I didn't act rashly." She felt a little wronged. There was nothing she could do. The situation bothered her. They weren't even together. Only Young Master Hua was there. They had met a few times, so they could be considered acquaintances. She only knew Young Master Hua's surname and nothing else.
Mu Ziyu felt that Shuishui had to change her mindset. Girlfriends had to trust their boyfriends, but Shuishui was different.
His chest felt tight, and he felt a little uncomfortable. Perhaps it was because he had seen her with that Young Master Hua. He calmed down and changed the topic instead.
