The Days of Being in a Fake Marriage with the CEO

Today, however, they seemed to be carrying out their businesses as usual. The students did not seem to be disturbed as well. The whole place looked rowdy and yet peaceful at the same time.

This isn't right.

Right about this time, her phone rang. It was a call from the client who'd informed her about the thugs earlier.

Because she realized that something was not right, she did not answer the call and, in fact, turned the phone into silent mode.

After that, she sent a text message: "What is it?"

The client saw her text and hurriedly handed his phone to Long Feiting for him to have a look.

Upon seeing the message there and then, the boy knew that the girl he wanted to catch was in the vicinity. However, this smart girl could sense something amiss and had rejected the call as a result. This girl was cautious and careful.

He immediately instructed his men patrolling the commercial street outside to stand guard at the three exits. No woman would be allowed a slip.

Then, using the client's phone, he returned a text: "Have you arrived? Can you hurry up? The hooligans are at my shop now and I can't do my business!"

After he sent the message, he looked at the surveillance screen. Earlier, before he got the client to set the trap, he had installed more cameras on this street in order to zoom more effectively at his target. He would do whatever it took to make sure she could not escape again.

But when he looked at the screen, he saw that everyone was holding a phone in their hands. Nailing his target through a phone was too broad of a net to be effective. After recalling that she wore a cap and a surgical mask last time around, he decided to add these two variables to his potential target as well.

However, as the summer's sun was scorching hot as usual, there were too many girls bending over their phones with caps and shields on to protect their skin. Now, it looked like every girl approaching this store was a potential suspect. Since there was no confirmative trait, he could not lay his hand on any as he might alert the real culprit instead.

Once Mu Huan noticed something strange around her, she naturally decided to investigate further. This was when she discovered the hidden cameras along the street.

And as she observed the crowd mingling along the pavement, she noticed that some of them, although well-hidden, looked neither like students nor thugs. Instead, they looked to be well-trained bodyguards.

The moment she felt something amiss, she considered the likelihood that the gang might have threatened the client to set a trap for her. But upon her observation, she did not think that this trap had been set by that gang of naive thugs.

If that gang had the power and money to send this troop of well-trained men to seek revenge, then they would not have needed to extort money from the merchants here.

But if it isn't the thugs, then who can that be?

Who wants to catch me?

Just as she was puzzling over this matter, she heard a girl speaking behind her.

"There are so many girls from our university coming here to shop today! I have already spotted a few from our class!"

"That's because our number one school beau is here today!"

Number one campus beau? Long Feiting?

Mu Huan slowed down her steps.

"I heard that, at the school canteen this afternoon, the campus beau had checked out the school's online forum, caught a video clip of a girl fighting a gang of thugs, and ran out immediately. Subsequently, an image showing him lingering around here was posted on the forum anonymously. The girls believe that he was interested in the girl who fought the gangsters and came looking for her here. As they are all keen to catch a few more glances of him, they've come over to shop as well, hoping to bump into him at the same time."

Gossips in school traveled fast, and the presence of an online discussion forum only made it much easier to share the news across campus.
