Chapter 546: Pick Up Someone

Although the dormitory building was not far, Luo Yang had left Hong Jiaxin for several minutes already.

Lately, it had been a troublesome autumn, and Luo Yang worried that some bad people might kidnap Hong Jiaxin.

For ordinary people, Hong Jiaxin could handle herself.

If it were people associated with Grandma Liu, then Hong Jiaxin would not be able to cope.

Luo Yang wanted to get back to Hong Jiaxin's side and said, "Sister Tan, let's go eat."

Once she came downstairs, she would naturally help out.

"Not in the mood to eat. What do you need help with?" Tan Shengmei asked with a smile.

She was still waiting for Luo Yang to tell her what to do.

If she could help, she would go to eat.

If she couldn't, she would not join him for the meal.

This was called earning one's keep.

"Sister Tan, it's a small matter. Let's go down and talk. The class leader is still waiting for me. It's not too late to talk in the car either," Luo Yang said with a smile.

Usually, it was Luo Yang who helped Tan Shengmei solve her troubles.

In other words, she still owed him a favor.

When Luo Yang encountered trouble, she ought to help him too.

"First tell me what it is?" Tan Shengmei asked.

"It's almost time for dinner. Can you go help me pick up someone later?" Luo Yang said.

Upon hearing this, Tan Shengmei felt curious.

Luo Yang could drive and had a car.

If it were just about picking someone up, he could do it himself.

Tan Shengmei curiously said, "Just picking someone up? That sounds simple."

Seeing her full of doubts, Luo Yang said with a smile, "Yes, just picking someone up. Sometimes things in this world are that simple."

As dinner time passed, night was approaching.

Although Big Brother B probably wouldn't dare make a move tonight, to be safe, until they found Big Brother B's whereabouts, Luo Yang wanted to first ensure Shi Yun's safety.

Actually, Luo Yang could have gone to pick up Shi Yun himself.

However, Luo Yang had his own thoughts.

He thought that Big Brother B's men might be lurking outside the school gate.

If they saw Shi Yun, Big Brother B's men might show themselves.

That way, Luo Yang could capture them.

The subsequent tasks would naturally involve tracing back to find Big Brother B.

Therefore, Luo Yang wanted Tan Shengmei to go pick up Shi Yun.

He and Hong Jiaxin would then follow behind Tan Shengmei to protect her.

"Who?" Tan Shengmei asked.

"A friend of mine, who studies at Middle School No. 2," Luo Yang said.

Hearing this, Tan Shengmei chuckled.

Luo Yang said with a laugh, "Sister Tan, why are you laughing? Do you think I'm joking? I'm serious."

There were some things Luo Yang couldn't fully tell Tan Shengmei.

"Is it a girl?" Tan Shengmei guessed.

"Yes," Luo Yang said with a smile.

"Why do you want me to pick her up? Tell me," Tan Shengmei demanded.

After some thought, Luo Yang then told Tan Shengmei about Big Brother B's plan to harm Shi Yun.

After listening, Tan Shengmei expressed her concern, "If I go to pick her up and they come after me, what should I do? I don't know any martial arts."

Luo Yang comforted her, "Sister Tan, don't worry. I'll be following behind you, protecting you. What's there to fear?"

For Tan Shengmei, who had never had any Jianghu experience, just the possibility of facing thugs made her consider backing out.

But owing a favor to Luo Yang, she couldn't refuse to help.

"Alright. Hey, you said you'd give me a house, and I took you seriously. You'd better not be fooling me," Tan Shengmei said earnestly.

"Sister Tan, of course I'm serious. Let's go," Luo Yang snapped his fingers.

Upon leaving the dormitory, Luo Yang called Hong Jiaxin, asking her to come down, and also invited Jin Xixi to join them for dinner.

He had obtained the landlord's phone number but had not called yet.

While waiting for Hong Jiaxin to come down, Luo Yang called the landlord, learned about a room with a kitchen for five hundred yuan a month, and decided to rent it. He only needed to sign the contract and pay the deposit.
