Falling Dreams, Rising Hopes: Saving Mr. Boyfriend

Mei Qingyang's mind went into a frenzy. She had no idea what she should be answering. She had not prepared for this situation at all!!

"I…. I…. ", her head hung low and eyes darted around; she was still thinking what to answer him. At least she had hidden her access card inside her inner clothes. Sometimes, foresight worked wonders.

"Hey! You forgot this.", a guy behind them called out for her with a pen in his hand.

She turned around and saw a handsome man in his 40s handing the black and golden pen to her. He was dragging his wheelchair all alone.

"Oh, thank you very much! You did not need to bring it to me all the way.", she bowed politely to the man.

"Never mind, it's better for my practice, now that I have to be in this wheelchair for a while. Anyway, now you have my contact information, so call me whenever you need me, okay? I don't want to be in the limelight but I like passionate people like you. I'll answer any questions you have.", the man struggled to turn around his wheelchair. Mei Qingyang stepped forward to help him but the man stopped her shaking his head sideways. Qingyang nodded in affirmative understanding what he

wanted.

After struggling for a few minutes, he finally left the scene. He treated Wang Hao like he did not even exist. Wang Hao didn't think much of it and turned himself towards this unruly impudent girl.

"Who was that? Do you know him?" Wang Hao wanted to inquire if he was some informant of hers. They still hadn't figured out how she was communicating with her dad.

Yu Rong had recently called Jiang Nuo on phone to give him an earful about this pest he had sent. He had laughed at her complaints and told her how proud he was of the stuff his daughter had 'accomplished' till now. Like hell. From the conversation it was evident that he knew everything she had done. But they had been monitoring her every activity. She didn't have any way to communicate with outside world.

There were very high chances that she had met or was to meet Jiang Nuo's men today. And so, he was very curious about her whereabouts and had been following her all day.

"That's pretty weird question coming from you considering the industry you are in. Do you not know him? He's Bai Yuchen, the most successful entrepreneur of our country. He started at an age of 20 and has opened dozens of successful start-ups till now." The admiration in her eyes about this guy was pretty clear. Now that the Bai guy had interrupted her panic, she had regained her usual composure. Wang Hao had wanted to ask her more about what she had been doing till now but her rambling continued.

"I had overheard senior Fan talking about him and how he was in this hospital. He had gotten injured on a construction site very recently. I'm a huge fan, so I decided to visit him. That answers your first question as well." She showed Wang Hao enough excitement in her voice but maintained her cold exterior. Now her mind was working with lightning fast speed. She had multiple excuses to dodge his questions.

"That's very apathetic of you. Fan Ruyi was dying there and you decided to look for your idol?", Wang Hao took a jab on her. His reports from past few days had stated that the two had become friends already. This was definitely not something a friend would do.

"What could have I done? Yu Tian had already reached there. Nurses had started to pour in. She had given us half hour break too. I took my chance and left. It didn't really matter because this is her hospital. If she dies here because she didn't get treatment in time, it's her parents' fault then, not mine.", although she looked all detached and standoffish on the outside, Mei Qingyang was crying inside. To say such rude words for that saint of a girl, she wanted to slap herself hard. But she continued, "What, you don't think I came to talk to one of my dad's men, did you?", she smirked.

Bullseye! Wang Hao's surprised expression gave away the fact that this is what exactly he was worried about. Seeing his astonishment, she giggled. It was always a great feeling to be able to startle her enemies like this.

"Seems like I was right. I don't blame you Mr. Wang, it's your duty. But you didn't think how in the world I would have told anyone I am coming here. You guys have blocked my access to any external website. I can't even send any emails to anyone outside of school. Same with phone. You should be best aware of this.", she said in a provoking tone.

*That's what we've been trying to figure out!!* Rage was bubbling inside Wang Hao. This girl had seen through him completely.

"You were gone for an hour though. Were you with him the whole time?", Wang Hao inquired. They had entered the elevator by now to go down where Fan Ruyi was.

It felt like a detective drama to Mei Qingyang. Wasn't she going through an interrogation right now?

Internally, her smile faded. He was right. She had been missing for an hour. What could she tell him?

She could not admit to having been with Mr. Bai for whole hour. If Wang Hao went back and asked him, there was no reason for Mr. Bai to lie for her. She had just met him. Apart from helping him with his wheelchair, she just talked to him for about 15 minutes.

She was just thinking about what to reply, when the door of the elevator opened. The scene she saw wasn't something she thought she would ever witness. There were police all around with guns pointed at her and everyone was staring at her like she had committed some murder.

"Here is our culprit", Gu Layue pointed at her with a proud smile on her face.
