In the western suburbs of Ba City, there was a luxurious estate hidden deep within the greenery.
On the top floor of the estate's main building, in a spacious office.
Tracy stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his back to the door, gazing at the meticulously trimmed lawn and the distant city skyline.
He held a glass of red wine in his hand, listening to the tall, thin man report, his expression gradually turning cold.
After the other party finished the last sentence, the entire room was silent for several seconds.
"So, not only did you fail to capture the person, but you also lost track of them?"
The tall, thin man kept his head lowered, his tone tinged with helplessness: "Young master, that person named Lu Jingxiu immediately called the police upon discovering us. The police warned us that if we continued to follow, they would arrest us for Picking Quarrels and Provoking Trouble and Stalking and Harassment."
"We... had to withdraw for now."
He truly had no other options; they hadn't followed for long before the traffic police showed up at a red light.
The other party was too decisive in calling the police.
Tracy walked back to his chair and sat down, growing more irritable the more he thought about it.
He was somewhat speechless himself.
What was wrong with this guy named Lu Jingxiu?
He had seen people call the police in Germany too, but never someone who loved doing it this much.
How did it happen that when they were trying to capture Lin Yutang, this guy just happened to see it?
He squinted his eyes and changed the question: "Have you figured out Lu Jingxiu's identity?"
The tall, thin man immediately replied: "President Zhao has already tried to investigate, but..."
He paused, bracing himself to continue: "The other side said Lu Jingxiu's information is protected, possibly a relative of a Ba City official. If we forcefully dig deeper, traces will be found, so... they stopped investigating."
After speaking, the tall, thin man lowered his head.
Tracy let out a cold snort.
An official's relative? The son of some city official? Is that why he dares to snatch things from me?
In Germany, what kind of official would dare put on airs in front of him?
In Xia, a young kid whose full name can't even be found, relying on calling the police, trampled all over his dignity.
Thinking of this, his tone carried arrogance: "The son of a minor official, does he deserve to snatch things from me? Doesn't he like calling the police?"
He turned around, his gaze falling on the tall, thin man, a cruel smile curling his lips:
"Tell President Zhao to use his connections in Xia. Since he likes going to the police station so much, let's fulfill his wish and get him in there."
The tall, thin man immediately stood straight, nodding: "Yes, young master."
Tracy's face was full of contempt.
In his eyes, the son of a local official in Xia was no different from an ant that could be crushed at any moment.
Such a level of opponent didn't even deserve his attention.
The tall, thin man knew his young master's temper. Follow the newest chapters on g.com.
In Germany, the name of the Tracy Family was a passport; not to mention local officials, even higher-level politicians had to be polite when they saw them.
In Xia, although somewhat restrained, the young master's inherent arrogance of "everyone should make way for me" hadn't changed a bit.
The tall, thin man turned to leave, and as he reached the door, Tracy's voice came from behind.
"Tell President Zhao, I don't want to wait too long."
"Yes."
Tracy picked up his wine glass and took a sip.
A clueless kid dared to snatch someone from his hands?
He would make this person understand what true power meant, what true despair was.
Call the police?
Heh.
......
In the city center of Ba City, inside a large shopping mall.
Lu Jingxiu walked out of a women's clothing store, carrying bags in both hands.
He held three bags in his left hand and three in his right.
Lin Yutang, certified by the Dominant President of the Love Prison, was perfect in both appearance and figure.
Her shoulder and neck lines were smooth, her waist was slender, her legs long, and she had all the right curves, not too thin, with just the right amount of flesh.
While trying on clothes, Lu Jingxiu waited outside the fitting room. Every time Lin Yutang came out in a new outfit, he would take a look, nod, and then tell the sales assistant, "We'll take this one too."
Because every outfit looked great.
The sales assistant smiled so widely her eyes curved, looking at Lu Jingxiu as if he were the God of Wealth.
Lin Yutang initially whispered, "It's not necessary," "It's too expensive," "One set is enough," but Lu Jingxiu didn't listen at all, not even bothering to look at the price tags.
Lin Yutang stood beside him, watching the shopping bags pile up on the counter, her hands twisting together, her ears already red.
Every time she wanted to say there was no need to buy so much, before she could speak, Lu Jingxiu had already handed over his card.
The end result was that Lu Jingxiu ended up with six shopping bags, containing everything from underwear to outerwear, from dresses to pants.
After buying clothes, Lu Jingxiu took her to a mobile phone store on the first floor and bought her the latest model of a smartphone, while also getting a SIM card at the nearby service center.
In the service center's lounge area, Lu Jingxiu registered a Green Bubble account for her using the newly acquired SIM card on her new phone.
Then he scanned the code with his own phone, and they added each other as friends.
After adding friends, Lu Jingxiu sent her a list in the chat box right in front of her.
The list was clearly itemized:
Phone: XXXX yuan
Clothes: XXXX yuan
Underwear and socks, etc.: XXX yuan
Total: XXXXXX yuan
Each item was listed clearly, precise to one decimal place, with a bold total at the bottom.
Lin Yutang looked at the six-figure total amount, and couldn't help but twitch her mouth.
Alright, she hadn't even started her new life, and she was already in debt.
Lu Jingxiu handed the phone back to her, casually saying, "Set your own password, and let me know when you're done. I'll send you the list as a backup."
Lin Yutang took the phone and started setting the password with her head down. She typed very seriously, her fingers tapping on the screen, entering a long string.
Lu Jingxiu watched from the side, and after a while, seeing she hadn't finished, he couldn't help but tease, "Why is your password so complicated? Isn't it a hassle?"
Lin Yutang looked up, seriously saying, "Privacy must be well protected. Anyway, I usually use facial or fingerprint recognition."
After speaking, she suddenly seemed to realize something, tilting her head to look at Lu Jingxiu: "Your password isn't simple, is it?"
Lu Jingxiu replied frankly, "My password is just eight eights."
Lin Yutang showed a "Are you kidding me?" expression.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, she closed it.
Alright, whatever makes you happy.
Lu Jingxiu didn't mind her expression, lowered his head, and operated on his phone for a bit, then sent her an address.
"This address," he turned the phone screen towards her, "is an apartment I used to live in, fully furnished. It's getting late now, you should go there to rest for the night, take a shower, and wash your new clothes in the washing machine."
"Tomorrow, when the clothes are dry, you can wear the new ones."
After he finished speaking, he took a key from his pocket and handed it to her.
Lin Yutang looked at the key, stunned.
She didn't take it, her fingers curling slightly, hanging by her side.
Lu Jingxiu directly placed the key in her hand: "Take it, you can't possibly take all these new clothes to a small motel, can you? Besides, the money you have isn't even enough for a motel."
Lin Yutang lowered her head, her eyelashes trembling.
From childhood to now, it had been a long time since anyone had been this kind to her.
When her parents were alive, the family was just average, her parents busy making a living, their care more about keeping her fed and clothed.
After her parents were gone, her uncle's family took the compensation money, occupied her house, and even considered her a burden, selling her abroad without a second glance.
In Germany, she was locked in that big, cold, dark castle, facing a man who treated her as his private property every day.
And this person in front of her, she had known for less than a day.
He had just happened to pass by the park that day, called the police, then treated her to a meal, helped her buy clothes and a phone, and even gave her a key to a place where she could shower, sleep, and rest peacefully.
"Mm, thank you, Lu Jingxiu."
She didn't know how to repay this favor, even saying thank you felt awkward.
Because those two words seemed too light.
Lu Jingxiu waved his hand, just about to say "You're welcome," when he suddenly noticed three people in police uniforms walking quickly towards them from the other end of the mall.
