Chapter 442 – After Getting Fooled Once, He Did this Behind Her Back

Just as Mo Chengyu was about to speak, he heard a series of busy tones “Du du…”.
Fu Tingyu had already hung up.
His gaze was fixed on the roadside. The pure black Bentley slowly drove away without any hint of reluctance.
“…” Was this done by one of their brothers?
Mo Chengyu glanced down at the flyer in his hand, and then looked at Yang Yuan. She was tall and lean, dressed in a hoodie and with her hair tied into a high ponytail. She was no different from the usual people who handed out flyers on the streets. The only dissimilar point was that she had outstanding looks and her personality seemed a little spontaneous.
He retracted his gaze and saw that there were people continuously coming over and taking the initiative to get his flyers. It was all a little chaotic…
This was the first time Mo Chengyu had stood on the streets and handed out flyers. He never thought that the day would come when he would be one of those flyer distributors on the streets.
Also, getting surrounded by a group of people who wanted his Wechat and mobile number.
Yang Yuan turned around and glanced at Mo Chengyu. Even when he was surrounded by people, his slender figure didn’t prevent her from seeing his handsome face and his pair of alluring eyes. From time to time, the corners of his lips curled up into a faint smile. It was enough to make all the girls blush and their hearts pound faster.
She looked away, and after handing out the last flyer, clapped her hands and left straight away.
Mo Chengyu was done giving out his flyers and was ready to turn away. However, he only realized when he looked up that Yang Yuan, who had just been distributing leaflets nearby, had disappeared.
She had dragged him along to hand out flyers, yet she herself left first?
By this time, the sun had set and the sky was darkening. Street lamps on both sides of the street lit up and neon lights from the shops were flashing non-stop.
Mo Chengyu stood upright on the street and felt that he had been made a fool of.

Bright Garden.
After dinner.
Fu Tingyu first went to the study, did not stay for long, and then went to the house in the backyard.
After Fu Tingyu’s poison had been cleared, it did not feel as if he was any different from usual in the two days his combat stats had weakened.
Qin Shu and Gu Yan agreed on the time to head to his place the next day through the phone.
After confirming the time, she could not help but ask: “How long will it take for his combat stats to recover?”
“It’s hard to say. Because the poison had spread too quickly and there were some side effects from the antidote. It’s difficult to pinpoint when his combat stats will return to normal. It might not require a couple months, or it might take a year or two, or even longer.”
Gu Yan had not expected his combat stats to decrease. He knew that there might be some other symptoms, but what he didn’t think of was that his combat stats would be weakened.
“So there’s no other way to help him recover his combat stats?” Qin Shu was not willing to give up.
“There’s none at the moment. I’m checking the medical books now. There should be a way to help him get his combat stats back up.”
Qin Shu hung up the phone. There was nothing she could do now. She could only wait quietly for the result on Gu Yan’s end.
She stood up and walked out of the bedroom, straight towards the study. She wanted to talk to Fu Tingyu about visiting her mother together when they would be free.
Once at the study’s door, she gently pushed it open and found that the lighting in the study was very dim. There was only a table lamp on, and there was no one in front of the desk.
Where could he be if not in the study?
Qin Shu closed the study’s door and turned to leave. When she walked to the stairs, she saw Shi Yan coming up.
When Shi Yan was approaching, she asked, “Where did he go?”
Shi Yan stopped in his tracks. “Young Madam, is there something you need from Fourth Master?”
Qin Shu nodded. “Yes, I didn’t see him in the study. Could he have gone drinking again?”
“He has matters to attend to. Young Madam can wait for him to return to the bedroom if there is anything you need.”
Shi Yan did not dare to say where Fourth Master was. In the past two days, Fourth Master had been in a bad mood and his temper was not good. He was on the verge of becoming cannon fodder.
If he let the bodyguards follow, Fourth Master would be angry.
If they did not follow him, he was afraid that an assassin would harm the fourth master.
Even when he mentioned that the fourth master’s safety was very important…
All he had received was an ice-cold gaze.
It was not easy to be the fourth master’s special assistant. He could be cannon fodder at any time.
Qin Shu frowned. “Where did he go?”
“Young Madam, I have not yet completed what Fourth Master instructed me to do. You know how the fourth master’s temper is. What he needs is efficiency.”
Shi Yan hurriedly walked away and secretly wiped his sweat.
Qin Shu glanced at Shi Yan’s retreating silhouette. The man obviously had a guilty conscience.
She went right downstairs and saw Boss curled up on the sofa, licking its fur. She walked over to the sofa and sat down, before hugging Boss in her arms and smoothing its fur.
“Meow!” Boss called out ingratiatingly. It enjoyed Qin Shu smoothing its fur.
After smoothing its fur for a while, Qin Shu said, “Boss, go and find Fu Tingyu.”
“Meow!” Boss raised its head and looked at Qin Shu, as if it was puzzled.
Qin Shu continued to entice Boss. “Find him and I’ll give you a bag of dried fish. Take it from Ye Luo.”
“Meow!” Boss called out happily and immediately jumped down from Qin Shu’s arms, searching for the scent to find Fu Tingyu.
It had been coveting Ye Luo’s dried fish for a long time. It wished it could take all the dried fish from him.
However, every time it finished eating a bag, Ye Luo would produce another bag.
Qin Shu saw that Boss was running so fast, and thought that surely taking the dried fish from Ye Luo would give Boss a greater sense of accomplishment.
She strode over with quick steps.
Boss’s nose was very sharp, in no way inferior to a dog’s nose.
Qin Shu followed Boss all the way to the backyard. After walking for a while, she saw the cat stop in front of a two-story house.
This house was used as a martial arts practice room. She had entered it twice. It was very spacious inside, and the floor was made of wood.
She walked to the door and heard fighting sounds coming from within, as well as the loud sounds caused when falling to the ground.
Was Fu Tingyu practicing martial arts inside?
Through the glass window, Fu Tingyu could see two human figures. They were Fu Tingyu and Ye Luo.
The lights inside were bright, so she could see that Fu Tingyu was wearing loose clothes. They were red and black, a little like the clothes from a certain martial arts school. Moreover, they looked a little familiar, as if she had seen them somewhere before.
His hair, which had been meticulously styled at the start, was scattered from the intense exercise.
His face was a little red, and his forehead was covered with bean-sized beads of sweat. It made the strands of hair on his forehead wet, which were stuck to his full forehead.
Fu Tingyu, who only had five percent of his combat strength left, could be said to be so weak that when in front of Ye Luo, the other man could defeat him effortlessly with one hand.
So the person who had kept falling just now was Fu Tingyu.
For someone who had been so strong and who had stood at the peak, to suddenly become so weak was something unbearable no matter what.
Qin Shu couldn’t help but feel a smidge of pain grip her heart. She pursed her lips and turned to leave.
Fu Tingyu was so proud. He wouldn’t want other people to see him like this.
He wouldn’t want her to see him in this state either.
Boss looked at Qin Shu in confusion, looked at the tightly shut door, and then trotted after her.
Fu Tingyu’s martial strength had weakened, and his hearing was almost the same as an ordinary person’s. As his attention was focused on how to restore his martial strength to its former peak, he didn’t hear the footsteps outside the door, nor did he see the slim figure standing outside.
But Ye Luo had heard it. From the corner of his eye, he had caught a glimpse of the figure outside and knew that it was Qin Shu.
