FSGOR Ch47part2

He didn’t need to guess much. The strange man the auntie mentioned could only be Yang Xiantong, the scumbag who had harassed his sister before. Otherwise, why would his sister buy and install surveillance cameras at home?

Jiang Tian said, “Thank you for the reminder, Auntie. I will handle it well…”

“Hey, why are you being so polite, child!”

The auntie knew he was a good kid and said with concern, “You’re still so young. Don’t take everything upon yourself. If you need any help, just let us adults know, okay?”

Jiang Tian forced a smile and politely agreed, but there was no way he could involve innocent neighbors in these matters and cause them trouble.

But in fact, the scumbag had already affected the neighbors, and he couldn’t help but feel guilty.

Later, Jiang Tian asked the neighbor auntie to go back home and lock the door. He studied the surveillance camera packaging for a while and confirmed that it hadn’t been opened before leaving the parcel.

The courier company had received his message and would pay more attention in the future, but this was not enough to reassure Jiang Tian. He held his phone and entered the string of numbers, dialing the number.

“Beep.”

The other party answered the phone almost instantly. Then, a nauseating voice came through, “Hello? Is this Xiao Tian?”

It was indeed Yang Xiantong’s phone number.

Jiang Tian’s face was cold as he tightly gripped the parcel box, almost deforming the cardboard box.

The young man’s voice also suppressed his anger. “What do you want?”

After the company issued a public notice to prove its innocence, the so-called USB evidence from the scumbag would become false information. But even though his sister had not actively provoked the other party again, he didn’t understand why the scumbag would come to cause trouble.

Could it be that the other party had heard something from Zeng Jiaxiang?

Jiang Tian’s intuition had always been accurate. Sure enough, the scumbag on the other end let out a strange laugh and muttered a few words, “Xiao Tian.”

“How has your sister been doing lately?”

“I was wondering why your sister’s former company suddenly issued an internal notice. So it was because of that, ah.”

Jiang Tian frowned, impatiently saying, “What do you mean?”

“I didn’t intend to cause trouble for your sister,” Yang Xiantong laughed even more strangely. “Don’t be so guarded.”

Jiang Tian understood his meaning. While changing his shoes and walking towards the sofa, he felt nauseated just listening to the scumbag’s breathing. He urged, “Then you’re here to cause trouble for me.”

Talking to a smart person had always been straightforward. Even Jiang Tian’s tone sounded calm and composed as he asked, “So, what do you plan to do to cause trouble for me?”

The Yang Xiantong on the other end was slightly taken aback, then let out a snicker, “You siblings think too badly of me. Don’t worry. As long as Jiang Qing doesn’t spread rumors everywhere, I won’t do anything excessive.”

“It’s you—”

“How did you hook up with Chu Xuyu?”

Upon hearing this name, Jiang Tian’s heart skipped a beat. He unconsciously cracked his knuckles. Even though no sound was made, Yang Xiantong on the other end could sense the change in his emotions through his breathing. “Haha.”

“I don’t care about the details. You are indeed very popular in the circle, and you have the capital to play around with that Mr. Chu based on your looks.”

“But, after all, I am your former brother-in-law. It’s better to remind you that you don’t have to wait for Chu Xuyu to sleep with you. As long as he gets a little tired of playing with you.”

“At that time, who can your sister rely on?”

The threatening tone of the other party was disgusting, but Jiang Tian, having experienced the previous night, could hardly remain calm.

His gaze scattered as he looked at the ceiling. After his mind was invaded by the scumbag’s remarks, he found it hard to breathe. He unexpectedly discovered that he seemed to care more about Chu Xuyu’s feelings towards him than he had imagined.

But this feeling only lasted for two or three seconds. He knew better than anyone that no one could truly protect his sister. Even if Chu Xuyu was in a relationship, he didn’t want to always bother his partner with personal matters.

He needed to become strong enough to protect his sister on his own.

“So,” Jiang Tian said coldly, “if you insist on a fight to the death, I will keep you company.”

He had a maturity and steadiness beyond his years as a young adult. Despite the age difference, Yang Xiantong on the other end didn’t feel like he had the upper hand due to age. It seemed like he couldn’t shake the other party at all.

But what really made him feel thorny was that Jiang Tian also said something unexpected to him: “I know you’ve been making private appointments.”

“Is the other party a high school student? Have you checked whether they are of legal age?”

“…!”

Yang Xiantong almost couldn’t speak: “What do you mean?!”

Jiang Tian didn’t want to waste any more words with him. If he was threatened and didn’t strike back, that would be too cowardly.

He decisively hung up the phone, letting the scumbag think whatever he wanted. At least for both parties, the chips were still evenly matched.

No.

His sister had even more information.

If Chu Xuyu wasn’t with him, and Yang Xiantong took advantage of that time to cause trouble, then they had evidence that the scumbag had tried to hook up with an underage high school student.

After all, the school team was a rival. He had heard Lu Qiao talk about it so much that his ears had calluses. Zeng Jiaxiang had his birthday after the college entrance exam. Judging by the time, the first time the scumbag Zeng Jiaxiang made an appointment was very suspicious.

“…”

But he didn’t have the energy to think about so much at the moment.

Jiang Tian felt a bit tired again and collapsed on the sofa, holding his phone to send a message. He fell asleep in a daze.

At the same time.

Chu Xuyu, who was at home, also woke up and found that there was no trace of Jiang Tian in the house or on the bed. In the second bedroom, all of the young man’s things had disappeared. It could only mean that he had left while Chu Xuyu was in a deep sleep after taking the medicine.

Chu Xuyu strode back to the master bedroom, picked up his phone, and his fingertips trembled slightly. He found that Jiang Tian had indeed sent a message more than ten minutes ago.

KIRA: Ge.

KIRA: Let’s not meet for now and give each other some time to cool down.

Afternoon Tea: …

Chu Xuyu was not calm at all.

He had never been so disheveled. He changed his clothes, hastily splashed some water on his face, spat out the mouthwash, grabbed his keys, and went out.

He drove all the way from the city expressway to the Xingfu Port community in the southern part of the city.

He didn’t go upstairs to disturb Jiang Tian but parked his car in a spot not far from Jiang Tian’s building, deliberately avoiding a position visible from the window. He was afraid that Jiang Tian would avoid him even more.

After sending the message, Chu Xuyu buried his handsome face on the steering wheel. His hands were trembling slightly with visible veins—

He was very afraid that Jiang Tian would say he didn’t want to continue trying with him.

And the phone he placed on the central console had a chat interface that he didn’t know when he would receive a reply.

Afternoon Tea: I’m sorry, don’t be angry with me. I won’t force you anymore in the future.

Afternoon Tea: I’m right downstairs from your house.

Afternoon Tea: Just send me a message when you see me.

At that moment.

He even thought that as long as Jiang Tian didn’t break up with him, even if they only had a platonic relationship in the future, he could completely accept it.
