Chapter 30: Taken Away

"You..." Zhou Jiajia stared at Ye Long in disbelief.

Soon, Lu Xiaotian led a white horse over. Another lackey had a groom bring a yellow horse. Standing side by side, the two horses made it obvious at a glance that the white horse was not only tall, imposing, but also covered in muscles, much stronger than the yellow horse.

With a simple thought, Zhou Jiajia could tell that Lu Xiaotian had brought the best horse and the worst horse.

Ling Tianjiao said to Ye Long, "Boy, we'll start from the east gate, circle half around the garden outside, and come back in through the west gate. Whoever comes in through the west gate first wins!"

"If you can come in through the west gate first, I'll let you take Jiajia away!"

"But if you lose to me, then get lost right away, and from now on, don't you ever meet Jiajia again!"

Ye Long nodded, "Agreed!"

Zhou Jiajia was shocked, "Brother Long, don't agree to him!"

Ye Long comforted her, "Jiajia, don't worry. I will definitely beat him."

Ling Tianjiao secretly signaled to Lu Xiaotian with his eyes. Lu Xiaotian nodded and, with a group of lackeys, quietly ran away.

"Hey!" With a shout, Ling Tianjiao leaped up and directly jumped onto the white horse.

"Wow, Young Master Ling has great skills!"

"I didn't expect Young Master Ling to know lightness kung fu!"

"Young Master Ling is mighty!" Many people at the scene immediately gave him a thumbs-up.

Ye Long grabbed the reins with his left hand, stepped into the stirrup with his left foot, and with the force of the step, swung his right leg over the horse's back. Then he took a riding crop from a groom beside him.

Compared to Ling Tianjiao, Ye Long's mounting posture was not only very standard but also handsome.

In that moment, Zhou Jiajia even had the illusion of a great general mounting a horse.

"Giddy up!" Ling Tianjiao whipped the horse's rump, and the Ferghana horse under him immediately bolted forward.

"Ling Tianjiao, you're so despicable!" Zhou Jiajia didn't expect that he would start running before the race began.

Ye Long immediately whipped his horse and chased after him!

The two horses, one in front and one behind, rushed out of the east gate of the garden.

Luo Yueliang walked up to Zhou Jiajia and asked in confusion, "Sister Jiajia, who is this Brother Long? He seems really good at riding a horse?"

Zhou Jiajia was also curious. Logically speaking, Ye Long came from a poor family and was a hotel security guard now. He shouldn't know how to ride a horse at all. This guy is a bit mysterious! After thinking it over, Zhou Jiajia suddenly became intensely interested in Ye Long.

Behind the Meteor Garden was a mountain forest.

The two horses ran on the mountain path, one in front and one behind. Due to the night, the visibility on this mountain road was extremely low. For a while, no matter how much the masters whipped their horses, they couldn't run as fast as before.

The distance between the two horses remained at about twenty meters.

Not far ahead, Lu Xiaotian and one of his lackeys tied a rope between two trees on the road.

Seeing Ling Tianjiao riding through and Ye Long about to arrive on horseback, Lu Xiaotian quickly signaled his lackey to straighten the rope.

Whoosh! The rope suddenly rose and blocked in mid-air. It was about to trip Ye Long's upper body. Unexpectedly, Ye Long suddenly dismounted the horse and narrowly avoided the rope.

Ye Long rushed forward a few steps, then with a leap, he jumped back onto the horse's back and continued to spur the horse forward.

Lu Xiaotian and his lackey beside him were stunned.

Ordinary people without training definitely couldn't do this.

"Brother Tian, hurry!" The lackey beside him suddenly reminded.

Lu Xiaotian came to his senses and quickly made a phone call, "Cousin, he escaped. Get ready quickly!"

"Cousin, leave it to me," the person on the other end of the phone said excitedly.

Lu Xiaotian nervously instructed, "Cousin, remember, the one riding in front is Young Master Ling. Let him pass first."

"Cousin, I got it. Don't worry!"

Ahead, behind a big tree, a man with yellow hair hung up the phone and saw a horse dashing towards him.

In the darkness, he couldn't see the rider clearly, nor could he see the color of the horse.

The man with yellow hair quickly shouted to a man beside him, "It's Young Master Ling. Let him pass!"

"Okay," the man with black hair lurking by the roadside responded.

The man with yellow hair and the man with black hair watched the horse pass by.

Just then, another horse came galloping up from behind.

"He's here!" The man with yellow hair decisively shouted, "Pull the rope!"

"Yes!" The man with black hair beside him pulled hard, and the rope suddenly rose from the ground and blocked in mid-air.

Ling Tianjiao, who was desperately urging his horse, was so scared that his face turned pale. His upper body was directly tripped by the rope, and he fell heavily to the ground.

Son of a bitch!

Ling Tianjiao was in pain and fury. He was already extremely angry when Ye Long overtook him on horseback. Just as he was about to catch up and overtake Ye Long near the west gate, he was suddenly tripped and fell off the horse.

Ling Tianjiao was sure that this was the doing of that son of a bitch, Lu Xiaotian.

Thinking of settling the score with him later, he gritted his teeth and got up from the ground. Just then, a dark figure suddenly rushed in front of him.

"No!" Ling Tianjiao exclaimed in a hurry.

However, a stick still hit him on the head.

Ling Tianjiao's eyes went black, and he fell to the ground and fainted.

"Was that Young Master Ling's cry?" The man with yellow hair and the man with black hair panicked when they heard Ling Tianjiao's voice.

"Ugh! We hit the wrong person!" The two shone their phone flashlights and were immediately shocked.

They saw that the person they had tripped off the horse and knocked out with a club was Ling Tianjiao.

At this moment, under everyone's gaze, accompanied by the sound of horse hooves, Ye Long, riding the yellow horse, rushed into the garden through the west gate.

The whole audience was stunned.

"My god, it's him!"

"Damn it!"

"How could this be..." Not only Luo Yueliang and the dozen or so men and women beside her were stunned, but Zhou Jiajia also couldn't believe her eyes.

Ye Long rode the horse to the scene, turned over, and gracefully dismounted from the side of the horse. He handed the riding crop back to the previous groom.

Everyone looked at him, still unable to believe it.

But after waiting for a while, Ling Tianjiao still didn't come back.

Zhou Jiajia couldn't help but ask, "Brother Long, where's Ling Tianjiao?"

"I don't know. But the mountain road is not easy to walk on. Maybe he fell off the horse," Ye Long said casually.

The whole audience waited for a while longer. Luo Yueliang said, "Didn't Ling Tianjiao just win the runner-up in an international horse racing competition not long ago?"

Zhou Jiajia also couldn't believe that he would fall off the horse.

Just then, someone at the scene answered a phone call and then shouted, "Ling Tianjiao just fell off the horse and fainted. He has now been urgently sent to the hospital..."

The whole audience exclaimed, and then many people sneered.

No one expected that Ling Tianjiao, who had been riding horses since he was a child, would one day fall off a horse, and even faint and be sent to the hospital, especially in a race against his love rival.

For him, this was obviously a great shame in his life.

"Brother-in-law, tell me the truth. Who exactly are you?" Zhou Jiajia pulled Ye Long aside and examined him with a smile in her eyes.

Ye Long was puzzled, "What do you mean, who am I?" Zhou Jiajia said, "Aren't you a hotel security guard? Then how could you drive a sports car before, and now you can ride a horse?"

Ye Long said, "Before I was a security guard, I was in the army. Driving a sports car is nothing. I can even drive a tank and an airplane. And riding a horse is no big deal either. I've even ridden lions and tigers."

"So that's it." Zhou Jiajia was a bit disappointed with this truth. She had thought that Ye Long was the son of a wealthy family and was just pretending to be poor when working as a security guard.

She didn't expect that he had learned these things in the army.

"You've ridden lions and tigers? They would have eaten you for sure!" Zhou Jiajia smiled and teased him, then said, "Brother-in-law, it's all okay now. Wait for me in the car outside. I'll go to the restroom and then we can leave."

Ye Long took the keys she handed him. Seeing her walking towards the restroom, he turned and walked out.

After sitting in Zhou Jiajia's sports car for a while, Ye Long suddenly received a call from Zhou Ruobing.

"Ye Long, is my sister with you?" Zhou Ruobing asked directly.

"Yes. What's the matter?"

Zhou Ruobing said hastily, "My mom wants to see her. Hurry up and bring my sister home."

"Okay, I'll tell Jiajia," Ye Long hung up the phone and felt excited.

Before, his mother and younger brother both wanted Zhou Ruobing and her parents to come together on the 2nd. He could just take this opportunity to talk to Zhou Ruobing's mother.

Although he couldn't guarantee success, it wasn't impossible either. After all, he had helped her daughter Zhou Jiajia continue her studies before!

Just as Ye Long reached the garden gate, Luo Yueliang came running over anxiously, looking panicked. "Brother Long, something terrible has happened. Jiajia has just been taken away by Zhang Tianfeng and the others!"
