After the decision was made, the sooner it was carried out, the better. Zhang Mingzhi immediately went aside to make a phone call.
This meal with a bunch of old men was really boring. Only Venarese could liven up the atmosphere.
During this time, Lin Yan glanced at his phone. The trending topic was still there, but it had dropped to second place.
With Lin Yan's fans pushing, the Song family really had no way to deal with it for the time being. The social media accounts of the Song family's brands had already set the comment permission to restricted.
Just as Lin Yan finished his meal and was about to go home, his phone suddenly rang.
Xiong Jie?
Glancing at the caller ID, Lin Yan was puzzled. He remembered Xiong Jie, but why was this kid suddenly calling him.
"Brother, I have a question for you."
As soon as the call was connected, Xiong Jie's voice came through.
"Speak?"
"Um, do you still remember that girl with twin ponytails we met in the cafeteria last time? Is she still your girlfriend?"
Xiong Jie's question left Lin Yan speechless. What did he mean by "still"?
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Hearing the other party say that, Lin Yan instinctively felt that what Xiong Jie was about to say would be related to Su Mojin.
"Um, Sister-in-law was being bullied at the restaurant outside the school! But brother, don't worry, I've already stopped them. Sister-in-law didn't even lose a single hair."
As if afraid Lin Yan would be angry, Xiong Jie's speech sped up considerably towards the end.
"Give me the address."
Su Mojin was being bullied? Hearing this, Lin Yan's heart tightened. Without saying a word, he quickly left the private room.
However, as soon as he stepped out the door, he realized something. Didn't Su Mojin say she had classes tonight? Why would she be at a restaurant?
Never mind, he'd go there first.
"It's about two hundred meters to the right of the school gate, at a place called..."
Xiong Jie told Lin Yan the name of the restaurant. By this time, Lin Yan had already entered the elevator.
While in the elevator, Lin Yan called Su Mojin.
It took a while for the call to connect.
"Where are you?"
Lin Yan's tone was not good at the moment, his words filled with coldness. Although he was a little worried about Su Mojin, he was truly angry at this moment.
He didn't understand why Su Mojin lied to him. Since she had already eaten, why was she at a restaurant?
Lin Yan couldn't help but think of a possibility. No, it was impossible.
After all, this was his first time dating. When faced with such a situation, his mind was filled with nervousness, afraid that Su Mojin was lying to him.
If this happened to the previous Lin Yan, he definitely wouldn't be like this.
"I'm at..."
Su Mojin's voice was hesitant, and she spoke haltingly. Little did she know that the more she was like this, the more nervous Lin Yan became.
"That's enough, you don't need to say more. I know. Protect yourself, I'll be there soon!"
After saying that, Lin Yan hung up the phone and took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.
Perhaps Su Mojin just didn't want him to spend money.
"Young Master, Miss Su might have gone there to work."
Just as Lin Yan was lost in thought, Li Wei, who was beside him, spoke up.
"Work?"
Hearing this, Lin Yan was stunned.
"Yes, Young Master. According to our investigation a few days ago, Miss Su was indeed working at the restaurant mentioned on the phone before she met you. Miss Su's family background is not good, and she has been relying on part-time jobs to support herself since she went to college."
As the personal bodyguard arranged by Lin Guoxiong to stay by Lin Yan's side, Li Wei and the others had already investigated people like Su Mojin who had frequent close contact with Lin Yan.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier!"
After hearing Li Wei's words, Lin Yan slowly relaxed.
So that was the reason. He had just thought that he had been...
Uh, Li Wei looked at him with a look of shock. This couldn't be blamed on him. You didn't ask, Young Master. If you didn't ask, he couldn't just blurt it out.
After his mood calmed down, Lin Yan felt a pang of heartache. She had a bad family background, yet he bought her such expensive gifts.
He looked down at the keychain on his car keys. Although it was just a small piece of carbon fiber, it probably cost at least a thousand yuan. What a foolish woman.
When the elevator reached the first floor, Lin Yan quickly ran out of the lobby, got on the Kawasaki H2 parked at the entrance, and with a twist of the throttle, the bike roared and sped towards the university.
Seeing Lin Yan, Li Wei, and a few others quickly leave the private room, the members of the convoy were slightly stunned, but then they returned to their original state. Young Master Lin was of such a high caliber that being able to eat with him was already a blessing from a past life.
Besides, the young master left to take a call, perhaps something urgent had happened.
Thinking of this, Ren Fei became a little anxious. He should have chased after them just now. Perhaps he could have helped Lin Yan with something.
On the road to Jingda University, the lights were bright. A matte black Brabus G-wagon was chasing a black heavy motorcycle in front. Both were hovering at the edge of the speed limit.
The Kawasaki H2's exhaust was spewing flames, shining brightly in the night. It was hard to imagine that Lin Yan could control the violent exhaust sound in such a noisy urban area.
The Jia Lin Hotel was nearly an hour's drive from Jingda University, but Lin Yan arrived in only half an hour. According to the location Xiong Jie had mentioned on the phone, Lin Yan arrived at the entrance of the restaurant.
Su Mojin's workplace was a small restaurant next to the school, right next to the small noodle shop they had visited before.
It was already around eight o'clock in the evening. Under the streetlights, the restaurant's entrance was decorated with a barbecue stall, with several folding tables and a few plastic stools.
Logically, stalls near the school should be very popular, but at this moment, there were very few people. However, a police car was parked on the roadside.
The Kawasaki H2 skidded to a halt in front of the stall. Lin Yan took off his helmet and dismounted.
Only then could Lin Yan see the few people in the stall through the dim light. There were more than a dozen people, including several police officers.
"Brother, Sister-in-law is here."
In the corner of the stall, Xiong Jie waved at Lin Yan. However, he didn't look very good at the moment. His forehead was red and blood was dripping down his cheek, clearly having been beaten.
Su Mojin was also in the corner, along with another boy, who should have been Xiong Jie's companion. Lin Yan walked over and, without looking at Su Mojin first, looked at Xiong Jie.
"What happened here?"
"It's nothing, brother. Just a minor scratch. I promise Sister-in-law didn't lose a single hair!"
Despite being injured, Xiong Jie still had a playful expression.
Not only Xiong Jie was slightly injured, but his companion also looked badly beaten, with a bruised and swollen face.
Lin Yan pulled Su Mojin over and put her behind him. This foolish woman, he would deal with her later.
Seeing the miserable state of Xiong Jie and the others, Lin Yan realized something. He turned to look at a few thugs being escorted into the police car not far away and asked in a cold voice,
"They did this?"
