Bigoted Mr. Fu Lets Me Do Whatever I Want

Chapter 323: The whole building was closed, Qin Shu had something up her sleeves

Ye Luo shifted his gaze to Boss, who had curled up on the sofa. It had a sleek, black coat and emerald eyes—just like the cat mentioned in the rumors. While he was distracted, Boss had leaped down the sofa, moving gracefully towards Qin Shu. It had sensed that its presence required, and they could hear its excitement as it meowed.

Qin Shu bent down and picked it up as she rubbed its head. “Are you excited because you know we’re heading out?” She could feel its high energy, and she thought she saw the tiniest speck of something flashed across its eyes.

The view of both of them together caught Ye Luo in surprise. The rumored living legend—whom he had never met—allegedly had purple irises, fancied wearing a white suit, and carried a feline with him wherever he went.

As Ye Luo was dazed, Qin Shu had already walked up to him with Boss nestled in her arms. She had a puzzled look on her face, “Hurry up, Ye Luo.” By the time he got to his senses that he should have stopped her, Qin Shu had headed for the door, and she left the suite. Ye Luo was at his wits’ end, but there was nothing that he could do. To catch up with her, he stormed out of the room, not forgetting to take the keycard with him.

“Why are you headed to the equestrian center?” Ye Luo managed to keep pace with Qin Shu, his voice toneless. They were scuttling across the hallway.

“I wanted to go check it out.” Being the kingpin in Xijin, Xiye Ze owned the largest equestrian club in town, and Qin Shu had known that Fu Tingyu must be there. Thus, she wanted to drop by and see if she could lend a hand. Had Xiye Ze held any bad intentions, she would have made his life miserable.

Ye Luo held his tongue as he had something else on his mind—once they had arrived, he would stay close to her so that she would not cause any trouble.

Without a mobile in Xijin, they had hailed a taxi. Being in the front seat, Ye Luo had noticed the person behind had her temperament changed as she dressed as a man. She had the poise of a refined, gentle, elegant nobleman and her dazzling, violet eyes mysterious. He moved his focus back to the driver, “To Phil Equestrian Center, please.”

The taxi driver was bewildered. “Haven’t you heard that the Phil Equestrian Center had been closed for the day?”

They were both shocked, but Ye Luo continued, “We just got into town. We were unaware of it.”

“I thought I saw a sign outside of the center saying it was closed for the day.” There was a difference between being ‘closed for the day’ and ‘fully booked’. A customer would have to book or reserve, then pay for the venue, whereas the owner could close down the place to his liking.

Qin Shu frowned, wondering what Xiye Ze was scheming. It had already been 12 a.m.—which meant that he could not have kept him there for a horserace. She had to do something. “Please drop us nearby.”

“Alright. But I should warn you. You’re just wasting your time because the place is closed at night, and you should have gone during the day. Other than the Phil Equestrian Center, there are two smaller ones in town.” The driver had pulled away from the hotel as he remarked.

Sounding like an overly excited tourist, Qin Shu added, “Actually, we’re here for the horses. We heard that we could find the strongest and fastest breed in Phil Equestrian Center, so we can’t wait to check it out.”

“Indeed. That place has the best horses. Many came to witness them with their own eyes.” At this point, the driver was full of enthusiasm as they spoke about the horses.

Ye Luo had always been a man with few words. He was awful at social interactions. Upon eavesdropping, he could not resist the urge to look at the outgoing, approachable Qin Shu behind as she spoke in a warm and polite tone—she had concealed her identity well.

Ye Luo had always thought Qin Shu was quiet and timid, the introvert that would rather spend her time alone at home. He had begun to notice the change in her.

The trip to Phil Equestrian Centre took less than half an hour, and Ye Luo had tipped the driver.

Qin Shu got out of the taxi before Ye Luo did, and she had held Boss in her arms. She scanned the area, and the entrance of the Phil Equestrian Center was hard to miss. It was finished exquisitely with posh designs, and surrounding it was perimeter walls that had exceeded two meters in height. One would have presumed this was the entrance of a castle.

It was midnight—still and peaceful—and the moon had its shadow cast the whole building.

Qin Shu had let go of Boss and patted its head as she implied, “I need you to climb up to the top. Off you go now.”

As Boss took a final look at Qin Shu, it sprinted towards the wall. It had a look at the top before it crouched and jumped, climbed as its legs synchronized with its muscle strength, and made it to the top with ease.

Qin Shu approached the wall, her stance ready. Knowing her intention, Ye Luo walked over. “Are you going in?”

“How could I have known what’s happening inside if I don’t?” Qin Shu said as she continued to climb.

Ye Luo watched on the side, having no intention to give her a hand. He was waiting for her to realize her efforts had been in vain, yet he was mistaken.

Qin Shu had her right leg injured, so she had to support her weight with her other leg as she exerted force. With her experience in climbing, it was child’s play for her, and she scaled up the wall when Ye Luo had been expecting her to back out. Had she not been wounded, she would have jumped down straight, and she carefully landed on the ground, leaving him blown. At the same time, Boss had leaped down the wall with her, while Ye Luo swiftly followed.

Phil Equestrian Center was the largest in town, and Qin Shu was standing close to the stables and the horse track. The mounted streetlamps had spawned along the road, and the end of the path was not in sight.

Qin Shu was examining the area when she noticed the lights of the VIP lounge were on. As there was nowhere to hide, she chose not to put herself in danger by rushing over. She would be exposed, but Boss was camouflaged by darkness if it had its emerald eyes shut. Qin Shu took out the spy camera from last time, squatted down, and tied it on Boss’ front leg.
