Chapter 234 Truly a "treasure boy"

After taking a picture of the girl's face on the computer screen, An Ling returned to the lobby, pressed the elevator button, and prepared to go upstairs to find Pei Jiyue.

With a "ding," the elevator doors opened, and Pei Jiyue happened to come down to look for An Ling.

"Xiaoling? Didn't we agree that you'd message me when you arrived and I'd come down to pick you up?"

"What's so great about posting this?" An Ling laughed indifferently. "Do you think I can get lost at the company?"

As she was about to enter the elevator, Pei Jiyue stepped out and pulled her hand, leading her outside.

"I thought since you've come all this way, I wanted to take you out for something delicious. There was a really nice dessert shop that opened near my office last year, so let's go have afternoon tea together."

“Okay.” An Ling thought that she had come here today to have a heart-to-heart talk with Pei Jiyue, so it would be nice to find a small private room to have afternoon tea and talk.

“It’s right next to the company, we can walk there.” Pei Jiyue took An Ling’s hand and walked towards the gate.

An Ling was still thinking about the strange-looking girl from earlier, so she opened the photo she had taken and showed it to Pei Jiyue:

"Cousin, have you seen this person before? She just came to see you but wouldn't say what it was about. I offered to pass on a message for her, but she refused and ran away."

Pei Jiyue looked closely, thought for a moment, and then nodded.

“I recognize her. Isn’t this Huanguang’s assistant? I often see her at offline events. Why is she looking for me? Did Zhang Chengkai send her?”

“I don’t know,” Anling said. “The receptionist said they’ve asked her many times, but she just won’t answer. She only says she needs to see you.”

"Do you know her name?" An Ling asked again.

“Let me think about it,” Pei Jiyue pondered for a while, “I can’t be 100% sure, but I heard a fan mention it in a fan group before, I think her name is Wenwen.”

"Wenwen? Which two characters are they?" An Ling was a little uncertain when she heard the name.

[Could it be a nickname?]

“Both of them contain the character ‘文’ (wen) in Chinese,” Pei Jiyue said truthfully, “so I don’t know whether it’s a real name or a nickname or something.”

An Ling could only enter the name "Wenwen" into the character lookup tool with little hope, and surprisingly, information actually popped up.

[It's actually her real name!]

"Then I'll see what she's here for."

Pei Jiyue remained silent, waiting to hear what An Ling could find out.

In her opinion, Zhang Chengkai must have wanted to explain to her because she hadn't replied to his message, so he sent his assistant to relay the message.

But Pei Jiyue doesn't want to talk to Zhang Chengkai at all now. Whether there is an explanation or not is not important to her. Even if there is an explanation, it would just be some sophistry.

The two were about to reach the main entrance of the building.

The main entrance is equipped with automatic sensor glass that opens automatically whenever someone approaches.

Just as Pei Jiyue was leading An Ling closer to the glass door, An Ling suddenly yanked her.

"run!"

An Ling shouted and pulled Pei Jiyue to the side.

While Pei Jiyue was startled by An Ling, she caught a glimpse of a girl wearing black-rimmed glasses rushing through the glass door. She was clutching a glass bottle tightly in her hand and staring intently at Pei Jiyue.

At this point, the glass door had only been opened about twenty centimeters wide.

Fortunately, although Pei Jiyue was completely confused, her body reacted before her brain after hearing An Ling's shout. She was not knocked down by An Ling, but instead quickly ran a few steps after her.

Just as the two left the spot, a bottle of liquid was splashed in by the girl through the two glass doors that were not yet fully open, and then landed on the tiled floor with a splash.

There weren't many people in the lobby at that time.

There were only three receptionists at the front desk, two security guards on patrol, two cleaners working, and An Ling and Pei Jiyue, who had just run a short distance.

Everyone was stunned by what they saw.

When the girl who had thrown the liquid saw that she had failed, she gave Pei Jiyue a resentful look and then quickly turned and ran away.

The security personnel were the first to react and ran towards the door, trying to rush out and grab the girl.

"Stop running! Be careful!" An Ling stopped them. "This is sulfuric acid! Nobody should touch this liquid! Just notify the security personnel outside to arrest them."

When Anling said that the liquid on the ground was sulfuric acid, everyone in the front hall was shocked.

The security personnel quickly took out their walkie-talkies to notify their colleagues and described the physical characteristics of the girl. They also called for help to find something to cordon off the area with liquid on the ground to prevent others from accidentally entering.

Pei Jiyue's face was pale and her heart was racing; she was clearly still reeling from the near-death experience.

She gripped Anling's hand tightly, her voice trembling slightly, "Xiaoling, thank you for saving me. If it weren't for you, I, I..."

The girl who just threw sulfuric acid was Wenwen, whom Pei Jiyue recognized from An Ling's phone. She was clearly after her!

She recalled what had just happened. She and Anling were walking side by side. If Anling hadn't reacted quickly, she would have been implicated as well!

This was something Pei Jiyue could not accept no matter what. She looked at An Ling anxiously, wanting to examine her carefully from head to toe, left to right.

"Xiaoling, are you alright? Were you splashed with liquid?"

"It's all my fault! Wenwen was definitely after me! I almost dragged you into this! I should have been more careful..."

Seeing that Pei Jiyue, who had never shed a tear in front of everyone even when dealing with Xuan Rui, was now anxious with red eyes and looked like she was about to cry, An Ling quickly comforted her:

"I'm fine, cousin. I was even running ahead of you. If you're okay, then I'm even more okay."

"This isn't your fault. Who in their right mind would have imagined that Wenwen would do something like this?"

"But why did she do this to me?" Pei Jiyue couldn't understand why she did it.

She had met Wenwen a few times at offline events.

In her memory, this assistant had always been quiet and gentle. Other staff members always showed impatience towards fans, but Wenwen's voice was much softer than most people's. Pei Jiyue never expected her to do something so extreme.

The only reason she and Wenwen would cross paths is because she is a fan of Zhang Chengkai, and Wenwen is an assistant in Zhang Chengkai's group. So no matter how you look at it, the reason Wenwen did this can only be related to Zhang Chengkai.

But why?

“Just ask around,” Anling said. “She should be under the control of security personnel by now.”

"Yes, yes, just go ask them." Pei Jiyue felt that her brain must have been malfunctioning due to the recent series of accidents. Now that they had caught the person, why not just ask them directly?

An Ling accompanied Pei Jiyue out of the company building through the side door, cursing Zhang Chengkai in her heart.

Zhang Chengkai truly deserves the title of "treasure boy"! I've been digging into him for so long and uncovered so much, yet there's still so much I haven't found!
