Falling Dreams, Rising Hopes: Saving Mr. Boyfriend

Yu Tian was on his way to the campus in his car when Yu Bufan's phone rang.

"Young Master, Mei Qingyang has been captured by Yu Rong and taken to the school prison.", he told him slowly in a very patient way. He had seen his master grow fond of this girl over past three months. His master had never been interested in any girl, but he didn't know what he saw in this commoner.

Yu Bufan had come from a poorer background than Mei Qingyang, so he knew exactly how the high society worked after working with Yu family for so many years. His master was the only one who was kind in his own sense. He would not bother with other's matters and just be in his own world. This guy had so many obstacles in his life, including his own family, his status and his disease, yet he always ended up thinking about others in his own way.

He had joined Yu Tian when he was going abroad, so he had no idea about Yu Tian's childhood. But he had served him for enough years to know that his own life was in good hands and he won't be used as just a slave like Yu Rong did. Now he wanted to cheer on for his master since he had finally found someone he genuinely cared about.

Yu Bufan had put informants all over the campus to know the whereabouts of the girl, without Yu Tian knowing. They would alert him as soon as something happened to the girl. They also reported to him what she did for the whole day. For the past few days, some interesting information was coming along. But he had not foreseen something like this happening.

Yu Tian was looking outside the car the whole time, uninterested in anything going on in the car. As soon as Yu Bufan broke the news to him, his ears perked up. He was concerned but did not show it to his face. He knew Yu Bufan was perceptive enough to understand even the slightest change in him but he was not very trusting of the driver driving the car.

He would have loved for Bufan and him to be the only people in the car. But since everything was being provided by Yu Rong, he was not even sure if the car itself was compromised. So, he would not talk much anyway.

"Why?", Yu Tian asked in his usual cold tone. Without shifting his pose, he looked into the rear view mirror and found the driver staring at him.

Yu Bufan immediately sensed the alarm in his master's voice. He knew his master meant to ask, 'She was okay for the past two weeks, what happened suddenly?' He wanted to narrate everything to him but he understood Yu Tian's concerns. He had to make the story look like they did not know anything about all the past incidents.

"It seems like that servant girl that day had not died. Mei Qingyang had hidden her somewhere, now she has been found. Apparently, she was the one who had murdered the guy in the hospital. Now Mei Qingyang has been captured for housing a murderer and not being able to fulfill her duties. The servant girl was executed before her on the spot.", Yu Bufan explained calmly.

Yu Tian's heart started beating fast. If Yu Rong could execute that servant girl, Mei Qingyang could be next. She would torture her for sure. There were no grounds for her to kill Mei Qingyang for now. She had Bai Yuchen as her witness for hospital incident. If Yu Rong ever decided to use camera feed, then she would also need to use the feed for the guy's murder.

That servant girl might have actually killed that guy earlier but Gu Layue was involved in it. Once her mouth opened, Yu Rong would not be able to save herself. So, if he analyzed calmly, Mei Qingyang's life was not in danger, for now. But this was definitely an excuse for her to torture that girl. There was no denying that Yu Rong was a mad woman.

But how did the whole thing came out in light anyway? Not everyone knew the involvement of that girl in the actual murder. He had heard Mei Qingyang mentioning something like this to the corpse of the guy, so he had investigated. But other than him, who else could know about it? Unless, that girl herself revealed it to someone. Or, it was the owners of the hospital. Should he suspect Fan family or Fan Ruyi?

But again, Fan family had no idea how that servant girl was related to them. Did… Fan Ruyi really betray them? He had to go and ask her. This was not like her. Plus, had she not declared Mei Qingyang as her dear friend. She had also made it her mission to make her call his sister. Where did things go wrong?

No, he had no time to think about Fan Ruyi. He needed to meet Mei Qingyang and ask her about the whole situation. Would that girl be able to endure the ways of Yu Rong? Last time, when she heard about the girl being killed, she had wrecked such a havoc. What would have been her reaction now? His heart ached for Mei Qingyang, would she have any support in there?

Should he call his aunt to go easy on her? But would that not infuriate her more?

There were so many thoughts circling around in his mind that he felt like his head would explode. Yet, to keep up his appearance, he was still looking outside without any emotion on his face. This life was so tiring to live, he could not even talk to the girl he liked to comfort her at this point.
