Chapter 548: Trouble in the Cao Family!

“Oi, boss, I want to charter a yacht, what are your eyes goggling at?”

Ling Yun frowned slightly as he irritatedly waved his right hand at the boss of the yacht charterer.

Zhang Ling had a neat bob. She was dressed in a strapless tube top, a small pink jacket, and a ruffled skirt. A pair of transparent high-heeled sandals completed the look. She was the embodiment of youthfulness. That made the boss sit up straight.

“Erm... sorry, it’s really too late. We are closing for the night...”

That boss tore his eyes away from the beautiful sight with great difficulty and looked towards Ling Yun. This handsome young man is bringing his girlfriend out to sea in the middle of the night. Are they going for yacht sex? The boss couldn’t help but ponder.

“Do you want to rent me a yacht or not? I’ll go to the next one if you aren’t interested.”

Ling Yun took out a stack of fiery red bills — a total of ten thousand yuan — and flicked it with his right hand, smiling at the watching boss.

“A-A-A-All for me?” The boss’ eyes lit up even brighter than when he was staring at Zhang Ling.

“Take it!” Ling Yun placed them all in his hand.

“Take your pick of my collection. Come back whenever you are done,” the boss said with a twinkle in his eyes. Ling Yun was so generous. The gross income of renting the yachts wouldn’t even amount to that!

Ling Yun didn’t care. How could he create romance without splurging?

Ling Yun picked the most luxurious yacht with the help of the boss. He brought Zhang Ling up and drove straight towards the heart of the lake.

The monsoon season of Jiangnan Province did arrive later than expected this year. It was at least half a month late, but not a single drop arrived. Reprieve only came at night after the scorching summer sunset.

The moon hung in the night sky with a magnificent galaxy. The cool breeze swept past, bringing ripples upon the surface of the lake. There was a certain beauty to it that rivaled that of the vast sea.

“This yacht isn’t bad!”

Ling Yun had become an excellent captain after the adventure on the East Sea. However, he let go of the helm after the direction of the yacht was set.

“Are you nuts? Ten thousand yuan. He doesn’t even earn that much in two days! You are really a willing spender.” Zhang Ling was feeling distressed by the splurge.

“Hehe, we haven’t been alone together since I visited your house that one time. What is spending a little more to enjoy such a good night?”

Ling Yun made two beverages appear from the spatial ring. He activated Yin-Yang harmony balance and channeled the extreme yin to his palms, which chilled the drinks instantly.

“Here...”

“Oh my god... What did you do?” Zhang Ling exclaimed.

Ling Yun could utilize the Yin-Yang harmony balance at will now. The cold only appeared in Ling Yun’s palms. The surrounding atmosphere wasn’t affected at all, so Zhang Ling naturally couldn’t detect it.

“Believe in your Big Brother Yun, and you’ll obtain longevity. Understand?” Ling Yun opened a drink, replying cockily.

“F*ck you!” Zhang Ling retorted. At the same time, she sneaked a peek to see just how far out they had traveled from the shore.

Zhang Ling’s heart beat faster as the distance grew longer. Ling Yun always did things out of the norm, so she couldn’t guess his next step.

However, she really liked this feeling of anticipation and happiness. She hoped that time could stop right there.

“Missed me?” Ling Yun eyed Zhang Ling seriously now.

Zhang Ling blushed immediately. “Can’t you tell from the number of messages I sent you?” Zhang Ling bit her lips.

Zhang Ling didn’t understand why Ling Yun was always so busy. Why were there always so many beauties surrounding him? If there existed a pill that could cure one’s regret, she would take it and go back two months in time, to a time when Ling Yun was still non-existent to many.

“I saw them and replied to you, didn’t I...” Ling Yun replied, slightly embarrassed.

“I sent you twenty messages. You didn’t reply to a single one. How is that considered replying?” Zhang Ling pouted.

Ling Yun could only shut up obediently.

The cabin quieted down, and tension rose.

“I hope it didn’t affect your studies?” Ling Yun’s voice broke the silence.

“Of course not, I was third in class for the mock exam and fifth in the arts section of the entire school,” Zhang Ling answered proudly.

Zhang Ling was the kind of person who could turn her thoughts into motivation. She would drown herself in studies whenever she missed Ling Yun. She knew that was the only way she could keep up with Ling Yun.

She improved vastly in that way. She was fifth in Qingshui City. As long as she took the college entrance examinations as per normal, she would no doubt be able to get into the top tier universities.

“I’d never be in the top five if Shanshan was still at our school...”

The light in Zhang Ling’s excited eyes dimmed.

“Cao Shanshan... How is she now? Did she remain in contact with you?” Ling Yun asked, capitalizing on the opportunity.

Zhang Ling’s sad eyes locked onto Ling Yun’s. “I knew it. You asked me out to ask about Shanshan...”

Ling Yun averted his gaze. “Zhang Ling, you know that Shanshan went back to Beijing because of me. There has been no news about her, so I’m really worried. It’s abnormal...” Ling Yun’s voice was low and serious.

Zhang Ling could see the worry between Ling Yun’s brows. She couldn’t help but be moved even though he was worried about another girl.

Ling Yun seldom made such an expression. He hid it very well.

Cao Shanshan’s disappearance had something to do with that cousin of hers calling and harassing her previously. Ling Yun was sure of that.

The Chen Family was in cohorts with the Japanese, stirring up storms in the country. There was no telling how much more they had planned.

It was impossible for Cao Shanshan to forget Ling Yun.

Something must have happened in the Cao Family. However, Ling Yun had yet to gain the strength to participate in such a high-level game. The families of Beijing had their depths and secrets.

Zhang Ling sighed and leaned gently onto Ling Yun. Her arms wrapped around Ling Yun’s, and she said in an assuring voice, “Ling Yun, don’t worry. Shanshan should be safe, but...”

Ling Yun’s slight relief at Cao Shanshan being safe was dissipated once again when he heard the caveat.

“But... what?”

“Sigh, see for yourself...”

Zhang Ling took out her phone and fumbled through her messages. She passed the phone to Ling Yun after she found the one she had been looking for.

The message said, “Zhang Ling, I’m fine. Don’t worry. Ling Yun and I are impossible now. Please take good care of him and ask him to forget me. I wish him, you, and our classmates all the best in life. 0125.”

Ling Yun fell into a deep silence.

Rubbish! This is definitely not something Cao Shanshan would say! Ling Yun concluded.

That wasn’t even Cao Shanshan’s character!

Cao Shanshan had given her all to Ling Yun, her body, mind, and soul. They would have consummated their love if Ling Yun had broken through to Physique Tempering Stage Four!

Moreover, Cao Shanshan returned to Beijing because of their relationship. She came back safely the first time, so why did it become this way the second time?

Something big must have happened in the Cao Family!

Ling Yun examined the timestamp of the message and realized that it was sent at four in the morning on the 2nd of May. “This message was sent at four in the morning? Is this the only message?” Ling Yun asked.

“Yes, only this message. It’s my fault. I slept at around one that day. I was so dead asleep that I didn’t wake up until the morning. Her phone was already disconnected when I called back.”

“That’s not your fault, don’t beat yourself up.” Ling Yun patted Zhang Ling’s shoulders gently when he saw how she was blaming herself.

Four in the morning was a time when most people would be deep asleep. Zhang Ling was up until one studying. It would be a miracle if she heard the message.

Ling Yun took out his phone and dialed Cao Shanshan’s number. Her phone was still switched off.

Ling Yun had been trying every day, but it never got through.

“Are you sure the sender of this message was Cao Shanshan? What does 0125 mean?” Ling Yun asked.

Zhang Ling nodded. “I’m certain. 0125 is my birthday. This number wouldn’t appear if it were sent by someone else.”

“That is why I think Shanshan should be safe...”

“I understand now!” Ling Yun proclaimed after some thought.

Cao Shanshan might not be in danger, but she must have lost her freedom. If not, she wouldn’t have sent such a message at four in the morning.

The message between the lines was trouble in the Cao Family!
