I am not just a tycoon

In the night, Lih Xiao quickened her steps, and the dark shadow behind her did the same, the two never managing to gain distance from one another.

Lih Xiao gripped her bag tightly, her heart pounding "thump, thump, thump," and for some reason, she thought of some news headlines.

"Shocking! Female teacher stalked and assaulted on her way home from work!"

"Is it a twist of human nature, or the fall of morality? A beautiful teacher meets her untimely end at his hands?"

"A moment of silence! An International campus female teacher, who devoted her best years to education, met with such a tragic end!"

...

Lih Xiao's hairs stood on end as she thought more and panicked, trembling, she reached into her bag and blindly dialed a number.

She didn't dare take her phone out, fearing that the moment she looked at the screen, the person in black would charge at her.

She had to make the call in a discreet manner.

...

Jinxiu Mountain River District, 1502.

Lih Meng, wearing pajamas, was half-lying on the sofa playing King.

Her delicate Liu Mei eyebrows moved with the changing scenes of the game.

When she scored a kill or counter-killed the enemy, her brows would relax, but when she got killed or betrayed by a teammate, they would immediately furrow.

During a small skirmish in the jungle, her teammate's Sun Wukong was being chased. Playing as the Bull Demon, Lih Meng used her ultimate with a flash to knock up four enemies, then followed with her second skill to lift them again.

Just as she was feeling smug about her plays, she didn't expect Sun Wukong to flash into the bushes and run away!

Lih Meng's Bull Demon was no match for four hands and ultimately fell in a pool of blood.

Unable to contain her anger, she typed a message: "Sun Wukong, did your mother give birth to a second child, so you're in such a hurry to go home? Such a good opportunity and you don't take it?"

Her agile hands quickly tapped the screen: "How can you be so stupid and still play Sun Wukong? Even Sun Wukong would be ashamed of you. Just uninstall King, you're not worthy, really!"

Sun Wukong: "?"

Lih Meng: "Oh, I see, you can't even type and only send question marks, no wonder you're so stupid. I wonder which four unlucky ones will be your teammates next game."

"Don't force yourself to type because even if you do, I won't see it since I've set up a message block, idiot!"

This Zuan Princess, well-versed in Zuan culture, didn't forget to play the game as she unleashed a flurry of words.

5 minutes later, as her base was destroyed, Lih Meng threw her phone onto the sofa: "Such dumb teammates! Go home and play with your newborn brother!"

At that moment, the phone rang, and when Lih Meng picked it up, it was her sister, Lih Xiao.

She answered, "Hello, sis, what's up?"

After waiting in silence, Lih Meng continued: "Hello, hello. Say something, sis."

"Did you dial incorrectly?"

Lih Meng hung up and dialed back; the phone rang several times before the call was answered.

But before Lih Meng could speak, she heard a voice on the other end urgently whispering, "Lih Meng, come pick me up quickly, someone's following me."

"What?!"

Lih Meng immediately stood up: "Who is following you? Where are you now?"

"I'm... I'm on the small road by the west gate of the district."

Lih Xiao's voice was tense and frantic, and Lih Meng likewise became anxious: "Okay, okay, sis, don't be scared, just scream if he dares to come close, I'm coming right now, I'm coming right now!"

Lih Meng ran straight out of her room, rapidly pressing the elevator button, but she had to wait for the elevator, stomping her feet in agitation as she watched the slowly moving floor indicator.

"Nothing bad better happen, nothing bad better happen..."

The two sisters had been working away from home for so many years and this was the first time they encountered such a situation, Lih Meng felt completely overwhelmed and didn't know what to do.

Thinking about news of assaults and dismemberments left her with her hair standing on end out of fear.

Almost subconsciously, she thought of Shen Yuan.

She quickly took her phone and called Shen Yuan; the call was quickly answered, and Lih Meng hurriedly said: "Shen Yuan, where are you? My sister, my sister is being followed."

Lih Meng's voice carried a hint of a sob, and surprisingly, the person on the other end became even more agitated: "What?! That kind of thing happened?! Wait there, I'm coming right now!"

"Do you know where it is?"

If it were any other time, Lih Meng would have noticed something was off, normally, shouldn't Shen Yuan be asking for the location?

But her mind was filled with thoughts of her sister, so she was not in the mood to think deeply.

"Where are you?"

"At the west gate of the district."

"I'll be right over!"

Hearing the urgent tone on the other end, some of Lih Meng's panic was alleviated.

Meanwhile, Shen Yuan was sitting in a restaurant not far from the west gate of the district.

It was just an ordinary Hunan cuisine restaurant with 7-8 tables and 2 private dining rooms.

Now, past 8pm nearing closing time, Shen Yuan was the only one slowly eating stir-fry chicken and pork intestine, occasionally sipping cola.

The chubby restaurant owner, with a toothpick in his mouth, casually asked: "Young man, didn't you have something to do?"

"It's not a big problem, I can go later."

"Just now, hearing your tone, I truly thought something had happened."

The owner thought back to the moment Shen Yuan suddenly stood up, which had startled him, so was this all an act?

"It's okay."

"Well, as long as it's okay."

Shen Yuan picked up a few more bites, then took out his phone to call Shen Xuan: "Your mission is done, withdraw."

On the other end of the phone, Shen Xuan lowered her voice: "Just withdraw? I was just enjoying the act."

Shen Yuan laughed in disbelief: "I asked you to follow for a bit, and now you're hooked? Hurry up and withdraw, be careful or the security guards or police might catch you."

Shen Xuan sounded dejected: "Oh, okay."

After hanging up, Shen Yuan motioned, "Boss, time to pay the bill!"
