Chapter 58

Unconsciously, the time had already passed midnight.

Li Yi, who had gained a lot, left the exhibition with everyone else, pulling Li Ting and Lin Ruxue along, stepping on the starlit sky, and getting into the BMW, heading home.

His body had already evolved to its final form, and Li Yi didn't need to sleep at all. Lin Ruxue and Lin Ting, who had made a fortune, were also in a state of excitement, chattering nonstop.

"Xiao Yi, why did you print your business card as a conglomerate? According to Mr. Ni, conglomerates are all very impressive," Lin Ruxue asked softly from the passenger seat.

"Because our family business is bound to develop into a conglomerate, covering all aspects of society. Calling ourselves a conglomerate early on will save us from having to explain what industries we are in," Li Yi replied.

"You're boasting again!" Lin Ruxue was about to scold Li Yi a few more times but then realized that all of Li Yi's previous unreliable promises had come true, and she couldn't continue.

"Ms. Lin, I just paid you 120 million, securing you for a hundred years. From now on, you have to listen to me," Li Yi stepped on the gas, making the car speed up while grinning.

"Alright, my big boss, what do you want me to do?" Lin Ruxue looked at Li Yi with her tender eyes.

"First, in front of others, you're not allowed to argue with me or pull my ears. After all, I'm now the chairman of a conglomerate, and I need to maintain some dignity."

Lin Ruxue pouted, about to argue, but then she saw Li Yi's determined gaze.

In an instant, all the events of today flashed through her mind. She remembered Li Yi taking her to the class reunion, standing up for her, scolding Su Wen Yue, humiliating Peng Xinli, teaching Chen Kai a lesson, and helping Di Hui Xiu...

It seemed he had really grown up!

Thinking to this, Lin Ruxue said, "Alright, I'll give you some face in front of others and won't scold you. But if you keep being disrespectful, I'll definitely deal with you when we're alone!"

"That's right. Come, wife, give me a kiss!"

"You really don't know when to stop, do you!" Lin Ruxue extended her hand.

"Auntie, be mindful of the impact. We just made a gentleman's agreement!"

"There's no one else around now!" Lin Ruxue said disdainfully.

"What about Xiao Ting? She's watching!"

"Screech—!"

Since Li Yi was driving, Lin Ruxue didn't dare to fool around much, just placing her hand near Li Yi's ear as a warning. But for some reason, Li Yi suddenly hit the brakes, stopping the car.

"What's wrong?" Li Ting asked from the back seat.

"Oh, nothing. Just stay in the car, I need to go to the bathroom," Li Yi said.

"Huh, is there a public toilet nearby?" Li Ting looked out the window curiously, seeing a small park outside.

"There's no public toilet. I'll go to the small forest over there to take care of it. Don't follow me or peek!"

"Phew, who would peek at you! You're so uncivilized, not even going to the toilet!"

Li Yi turned to Lin Ruxue and asked, "Auntie, will you come with me?"

Lin Ruxue's face turned red, and she said irritably, "Go away! You're getting more and more out of line!"

"Alright, then you both wait here nicely, don't run around!"

Li Yi got out of the car and quickly walked to a forest in the nearby park. He didn't go there to use the bathroom but because he heard a cry for help from the forest.

If someone else had driven past this park, they wouldn't have heard the cry for help from the forest, but Li Yi's ears were far superior to those of ordinary carbon-based life forms. Not only could he hear a cry for help, but he could even catch the chirping of crickets a mile away. In a sense, the most advanced radar in the world couldn't match his ears.

As he walked into the forest, the conversation in the forest also reached Li Yi's ears.

There was a man and a woman in the forest. The man, who was likely a criminal, had a knife and threatened the woman, saying, "If you scream again, I'll cut you!"

The woman's neck had been cut by the criminal, and some blood had flowed out. She immediately stopped screaming and began to sob softly.

"Hey, this woman—Ms. Tong?"

Li Yi and Li Ting were in the same class in elementary and middle school, but they separated in high school. Ms. Tong was now Li Ting's homeroom teacher and also Li Yi's math teacher.

This Ms. Tong, named Tong Gexiao, was extremely beautiful. Although she had been married for many years, she was still one of the most popular female teachers among the boys at No. 16 High School. Everyone envied the students in Class 3 and Class 4 because they could see the charming Tong Gexiao in math class and the even more beautiful Luo Xiayao in English class.

The situation was now clear. The beautiful Ms. Tong had been walking at night when she encountered a criminal with ill intentions and was dragged into the small forest.

The criminal was a very cruel person. After scaring Tong Gexiao, he tied her to a tree with a rope and then used a knife to tear her clothes.

Li Yi thought that at this point, Tong Gexiao would either curse or silently endure, but she said something very surprising.

She said she had a condom in her bag and begged the criminal to wear it!

It must be said that Tong Gexiao's request was very rational. Who knew if the criminal had any diseases, even AIDS? If he wore a condom, even if she was violated, she could still preserve her life and health.

The criminal was clearly shocked by Tong Gexiao's request. He hesitated for a moment and said, "If I wear it, you can't report me!"

Tong Gexiao shivered and said, "I won't report you, I won't report you. Please wear it!"

The criminal, hearing that she wouldn't report him, felt a sense of triumph. He also thought that wearing it wouldn't leave much evidence of the crime, so he reached out to search through Tong Gexiao's bag.

"Don't look, you don't have time!" Li Yi entered the forest at this moment, finding the criminal searching through the bag for a condom, which he found quite amusing.

The criminal didn't expect anyone to come in at this time, so he turned pale and picked up the knife again.

"Damn it, if you don't want to die, get lost!"

"Help, help!" Tong Gexiao saw Li Yi approaching and felt a renewed hope. But she didn't dare to shout too loudly because the criminal was too close.

"Ms. Tong, don't worry, I'm here to save you!" Li Yi gave Tong Gexiao a reassuring look.

"You are—Li Yi!"

As Li Yi's math teacher, Tong Gexiao naturally recognized him, but the starlight was too dim, and they were in the forest, so she couldn't see clearly.

In an instant, Tong Gexiao's face turned as red as if it were on fire.

Her clothes had been torn by the criminal and were scattered in the forest, making her appearance quite indecent. If someone else saw her, she would only feel ashamed for a moment, but now being seen by a student from her class—

Tong Gexiao really didn't know how to face it!

What worried her even more was that she didn't know how much Li Yi had heard of her pleading with the criminal to wear a condom. If this got out, she would be too ashamed to live!
