Chapter 215: Brother and Sister are Both Heartless

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Upon hearing Huo Yu’s words, Jian Yiling decisively hung up the phone.

Not long after, her phone rang again. It was the same number again.

Once again, Jian Yiling answered.

“Yiling, why are you even more heartless than your brother? All I wanted was for you to call me brother. Is it that difficult?”

Huo Yu said grudgingly.

Jian Yuncheng and Jian Yiling were both heartless.

How much did he owe the two siblings from his past life?

As he didn’t want his phone call to be hung up once again, Huo Yu hurriedly explained the reason behind his call:

“Yiling, I’m not messing around with you. This is serious. Just then, I saw a post on the dark web that was related to you. Someone was offering ten thousand dollars to bully your desk-mate! They wanted your desk-mate to learn her lesson. Furthermore, they wanted her to avoid you in the future. Also, just to clarify, these are the exact words in the offer! I haven’t changed anything!”

“Of course, I’ve checked the IP address of the person who posted the offer. I’ve sent the information to your phone. Furthermore, I’ve also deleted that post.”

When it came to these things, Huo Yu was a professional. He could handle such things in a matter of minutes.

Huo Yu’s actions surprised Jian Yiling.

She knew that Huo Yu was a computer expert. However, she never would have thought that he would have been the one to take action on such a matter.

Jian Yiling paused for a moment before she said, “Thank you.”

Just a while ago, Jian Yiling and Luo Xiuen had been discussing this matter. They wanted to find the person who had posted such an offer on the dark web. Huo Yu had sent her the exact information that she needed.

“No worries. Are you all right?”

“I’m fine.”

“That’s good. If anything happens to you, your brother would kill me! For the sake of my life, please take care of yourself.”

If he didn’t deal with such matters in a timely fashion, it was possible that Jian Yiling would get into trouble. If that were to happen, Huo Yu felt that his death was not far away.

“Mhmm.”

Jian Yiling promised. Then, she hung up the phone again.

Sure enough, Huo Yu had sent a text message to Jian Yiling.

The message contained an address. It also contained information about the family that lived there.

Luo Xiuen leaned over to read the message.

“Qiu Liyao? Who’s that?”

“Chairman of Shenghua High School.”

If the IP was Qiu Liyao’s residential address, then it was simple to figure out who was behind such actions.

“What? Your school’s chairman?” Luo Xiuen cried out. “Let’s go. I’ll go beat up that bastard!”

Luo Xiuen was furious. Whenever she got annoyed, she wanted to hit something.

Even if she couldn’t bash them to death, she still didn’t want to hold her anger back.

Jian Yiling held Luo Xiuen back, “Let me deal with it.”

Jian Yiling’s tone was firm and her expression appeared rather serious.

Hu Jiaojiao’s incident was not a trivial matter. Although it did not have serious consequences, it still did not mean that it was something that could be easily dismissed.

Luo Xiuen looked at Jian Yiling for a moment before she replied, “Okay.”

Although she was concerned about this matter, Luo Xiuen believed in Jian Yiling. She knew that Jian Yiling had the ability to handle things on her own.

They were colleagues. In their research institution, they had to trust their colleagues. It was impossible to cooperate if the trust didn’t exist.

“However Yiling, you have to perform surgery tomorrow afternoon.”

If Jian Yiling planned to deal with the matter right now, there was a chance that her surgical operation tomorrow would be delayed.

“I know,” Jian Yiling replied.

However, she still had to deal with this matter first.

“Okay. Please watch the time.”

Luo Xiuen replied. She respected Jian Yiling’s decision.

After that, Luo Xiuen headed home.

Before Luo Xiuen left, she told Jian Yiling that if she needed her for anything, she should call her.

Then, Jian Yiling got into the car that had brought her to the hospital. She asked the chauffeur to bring her back home.

On the way home, Jian Yiling started to compile some information.
