Chapter 19: The Most Ruthless Young Man
“Ahhh! Is Young Master Zhan about to get out of the car?”
“It looks like it. The bodyguards are clearing the area. Didn’t Young Master Zhan bring at least twenty bodyguards today? That’s so cool!”
“He looks so handsome today! My heart is melting…”
“So handsome and so cool—I can’t take it, I’m short of breath, I might faint…”
The scene was utter chaos.
Zhan Su stood in the middle of the road, dressed in high-end designer casual wear. Tall and straight, indifferent and cold, his arrogance and regal aura made him stand out distinctly among the crowd. He was extraordinary.
Despite the sweltering heat, he wore long sleeves and trousers, even matching gloves, yet there was nothing awkward about it. Instead, it created a strange, ascetic allure that made hearts race.
His features were perfectly sculpted, his handsome face carved in deep lines, prompting awe at the wonders of creation that could produce such flawless genes in a youth! He was, of course, also the coldest and most ruthless young man in the world…
He never got out of the car in crowded places, especially where many women gathered.
Even with bodyguards, if an incident occurred, the consequences could be dire.
But today, he couldn’t care less.
He looked around; just moments ago, he had seen yesterday’s passerby in the crowd.
Where had that person disappeared to in the blink of an eye?
Luo Hua, after scanning the surroundings, approached Zhan Su and spoke quietly, “Young Master, are you looking for someone? I can help you search. There are too many girls here.”
Luo Hua was a special forces elite, employed by the Zhan family for years, solely responsible for Zhan Su’s personal safety.
He had just taken a day off yesterday, and unexpectedly, Young Master Zhan encountered an incident… He felt somewhat responsible.
Zhan Su’s handsome face was as cold as ice, his eyes hiding deep disgust—directed at the throng of infatuated girls before him.
Whenever girls approached him within a certain distance, he felt an uncontrollable aversion.
Yet, his reputation for cold detachment meant that no matter how bold, girls didn’t dare get too close.
There had been reckless ones in the past, seeking his autograph, only to be hurled a dozen meters away by his bodyguards, left seriously injured and disabled. Since then, no one dared approach him without reason.
He turned and returned to the car.
He gave a faint command, “Pull up the panoramic footage from just now…”
Luo Hua, riding with Zhan Su, quickly brought up a video.
On the car’s display screen, Zhan Su pointed to Shi Qingqing’s silhouette and tapped twice.
After endless searching, the answer appeared effortlessly.
He usually took the exclusive path from Qingyuan to school, but today, near the campus, he had a sudden whim and decided to go through the main gate.
Unexpectedly, to his delight, he encountered her.
She was a student from Qingming!
Luo Hua immediately understood. A Qingming student not wearing a uniform would be easy to track.
He pulled out a walkie-talkie. “Team One, head to the school and look for someone. Today, she’s wearing a white T-shirt, jeans, blue canvas shoes, a black backpack… and carrying a very old, antique phone…”
The reply came swiftly, “Understood.”
Zhan Su closed the video and shut his eyes to rest, lost in thought.
No one dared ask what he was thinking.
Luo Hua usually managed to exchange a few words with the young master, but today, the elder Mr. and Mrs. Zhan had ordered him to dispatch extra covert personnel. He didn’t dare speak directly to the young master.
