Chapter 14: I Was Expelled by My Master

Page 1/3

Not only did his official girlfriend refuse to believe it, even Sister Yan and I found it hard to accept. The reason he came downstairs naked last night was that he was taking a shower. When he suspected a possible infidelity incident, his clothes were just about to be sent for dry cleaning, so he had nothing else to wear and had to wrap himself in a towel and run out.

If it were anyone else, such a thing would be impossible.

But if the person involved is a germaphobe, then it all makes sense.

Unfortunately, Chen Yinan is exactly that kind of germaphobe.

Chen Yinan, twenty-five years old, from the north, moved to Haizhou with his parents at eight years old, graduated from Haizhou University with a master's degree in law, currently serving as a director of the Haizhou Photography Association, and is a seasoned photography enthusiast.

From his own account, it’s hard to believe that someone who grew up in privilege, winning at the starting line, and with an education that could easily surpass ninety percent of Haizhou’s population, is actually such a carefree character.

But he’s a second-generation rich kid; his father’s company is worth hundreds of millions. Even if he doesn’t do anything serious, he’ll still be a billionaire big boss in the future.

That’s fate.

Seeing Sister Yan and me looking so envious, Chen Yinan smiled self-mockingly: “Do you think this kind of life is enviable? For me, it’s basically a prison!

Have you ever thought about what it’s like when your entire life is planned by someone else—from kindergarten to university graduation, even your future job and marriage are all arranged by others?

How dull, how boring, how maddening is such a life?!”

Sister Yan looked at him sourly and said, “So you decided to live your own life, regardless of everything? Don’t you think that’s unfair to Shanshan?”

Chen Yinan nodded, sighed, and said, “That’s why I always respected her and never lied to her.

But from her perspective, I’m just a scumbag who never told her the truth.

Well, at least now that we’ve broken up, we don’t have to pretend every day in front of the elders.

I won’t hold her back—after all, as she said, she does have many admirers!”

“Do you really think Shanshan agreed to be your girlfriend just to please her family?”

Chen Yinan didn’t respond but stared blankly toward the door.

Suddenly, the phone rang, startling the three of us. Chen Yinan took out his phone, glanced at it, and smiled bitterly: “Damn! They found out already? Looks like I’m really getting kicked out this time!”

He left after dropping this cryptic remark. Just as he stepped out, he shouted back, “Damn! You scared me! If I hadn’t turned around, I’d have thought there was a bear lying at the door!”

Sister Yan turned to look, rose, walked to the glass door, opened it, and cried out, “Hei Ge, what are you doing? Why aren’t you coming in?”

I hurried to the door and almost didn’t recognize Hei Ge.

His face was bruised and swollen, his body bore clear signs of a beating, tears streaming down his face as he crouched silently on the shop steps.

Without a word, I pulled him up, led him to the reception room, made him sit down, grabbed some tissues to wipe his face, and asked, “Hei Ge, what happened?”

With Hei Ge’s skills, it’s not easy for anyone to beat him like this.

He’s honorable in combat but not an idiot; if someone attacked him, he wouldn’t just stand there and take it like a log.

Hei Ge lifted his tearful eyes to me and said, “Stone, Little Monkey was taken away by the police.

They say I provoked the police and dragged Little Monkey into trouble.

Master beat me up and kicked me out of the scrap yard.

The club also fired me; I have nowhere left to go.

Master told me to come find you, and he brought this!”

He pulled a brown paper bag from his chest pocket and handed it to me.

I frowned, opened the bag, and pulled out its contents—a land deed and a house ownership transfer contract!

I put everything back into the paper bag, handed it to Sister Yan, and turned to Hei Ge, asking, “You said Little Monkey was taken?”

Hei Ge nodded: “Yeah! The police said he’s connected to a theft in some neighborhood. I didn’t hear the details, just saw him taken away.

Mazi and Lame said I betrayed Little Monkey, told the police.

I swear I didn’t, but Master didn’t believe me. He beat me and told me not to go back to the scrap yard anymore.

Stone, I really didn’t betray Little Monkey…”

I sighed, patted his shoulder, and said, “Hei Ge, I know. I believe you.”

Sister Yan brought a cup of water and handed it to Hei Ge, saying, “Don’t worry, Third Master actually…”

“Sis!” I cut off Sister Yan.

Remembering what Third Master said to us siblings when we came back from the scrap yard yesterday, I felt he must have sensed something and was already making arrangements.

Having Hei Ge come find me was just taking advantage of the situation. But once Hei Ge knows the truth, he might recklessly return to Third Master’s side.

Third Master has our identity information, so he can almost complete the transfer contract himself, only needing our signatures.

Before, we refused to avoid causing a rift between Third Master and his disciples. But now, things have come to this; Sister Yan and I won’t hold back.

However, the key now is to understand exactly what Third Master discovered that made him arrange everything so urgently.

And also, to rescue Little Monkey as soon as possible.

With his physical condition, if he’s locked up, it’s practically like going to hell!

I’m not exaggerating. Little Monkey is short in stature but has a very delicate and charming appearance.

Chen Yinan is a top-tier handsome guy, but standing next to Little Monkey, his features are clearly a bit less striking.

I once saw Little Monkey wearing a wig and a pleated skirt—he looked like an adorable little girl everyone would love; no man could resist!

If he’s locked up, I can’t even imagine what kind of treatment he would endure!

Seeing Hei Ge wiping his tears, I pressed on his shoulders and said, “Hei Ge, don’t think too much now. Just stay here for the time being.

But for now, you’ll have to endure sleeping on this sofa!”

Turning to Sister Yan, I said, “Sis, call Brother Yang and ask him to help find out more.”

“Okay!” Sister Yan didn’t hesitate, took out her phone, and walked to the door to make the call.

I wanted to go to the scrap yard to see Third Master, but Sister Yan stopped me.

The situation is unclear. If I go recklessly, I’d face Zhao Xiangbo and his gang—it’s too risky.

Brother Yang replied that Little Monkey was taken by the Dongcheng Police Station.

But it’s not serious; they’re just assisting with an investigation, not detaining him.

That means the police haven’t enough evidence to prove Little Monkey committed a crime.

If we find someone knowledgeable in law to negotiate with the police, they’ll probably release him soon.

But neither Sister Yan nor I have such connections. Who can we ask to negotiate with the police?

Unexpectedly, the very next day, the most suitable person showed up on our doorstep!

Hei Ge, who had slept on the sofa all night, was eager to open the door when we came out.

As soon as he pulled up the shutter, he shouted, “Damn, you scared me! I thought some big dog was lying here!”
