C154 Xia Qinghee Called Cousin Save Me Quickly!

When Yang Zitan came to mind, Lin Dong brushed the thought aside.

It was just a scolding he was expecting, and Lin Dong wasn't bothered by it.

At that moment, Ma Chenchen turned to Lin Dong with concern and said, "Lin Dong, be careful how you speak to Instructor Yang. She's not your average teacher. A bad attitude could lead to irreversible consequences!"

Lin Dong massaged his temples and replied, "Got it, thanks for the heads-up. Class is starting, you better take your seat."

Ma Chenchen then turned away, leaving Lin Dong with a view of her retreating figure.

Lin Dong couldn't help feeling a bit frustrated.

Why did everyone assume he would clash with Yang Zitan? Was he really seen as someone who looked for trouble unnecessarily?

But trying to explain himself at that point seemed pointless, so Lin Dong chose to remain silent.

The teacher for the first class arrived.

During the lesson, Lin Dong's mind wandered.

Truth be told, in college, academic disciplines weren't all that crucial—as long as you passed your courses by graduation, that was all that really mattered.

Lin Dong's self-worth wasn't tied to these things.

He just wanted to earn his diploma to make his father proud and fulfill his father's unachieved dreams.

Afterward, Lin Dong planned to reveal his current status and arrange for his parents to join him in Jiangyang City.

The class ended in a blur.

Once it was over, Lin Dong stood up, ready to head to the office to meet with Yang Zitan.

Yang Zitan was known to be quite petty—if Lin Dong didn't show up, she'd likely go as far as to hunt him down in his dorm!

Liu Wenming and Zhou Hengyu, sitting at their desks, performed a synchronized imitation of the sign of the cross in Lin Dong's direction, ending with a playful "Amen!"

Their antics left Lin Dong speechless once more.

After flipping them the bird, Lin Dong stepped out of the classroom.

Just as he was about to seek out Yang Zitan, his phone rang unexpectedly.

Surprised, Lin Dong pulled out his phone and saw it was a call from his cousin, Xia Qinghee.

He had bumped into Qinghee at the real estate company, and they had been close since childhood.

They had exchanged WeChat contacts and promised to keep in touch.

Lin Dong didn't expect a call from Xia Qinghee at that moment.

After a brief hesitation, he answered, "Cousin, what's going on?"

"Hey, cousin Lin Dong, you have to help me!" came Xia Qinghee's voice, laced with urgency and a hint of tears.

Lin Dong's brow furrowed as he calmly inquired, "Cousin, take a deep breath. Tell me what's happening and how I can assist you."

Given that Xia Qinghee was able to call him, Lin Dong deduced that she wasn't physically restrained. As long as she wasn't in immediate danger, he stood a chance to help her.

Still, he was in the dark about what had frightened Xia Qinghee so much.

When he had seen her last, she appeared normal except for a few signs of aging around her eyes.

Once Lin Dong finished his questions, Xia Qinghee's voice broke through, tinged with distress, "Cousin, my boyfriend has shown up. He's threatening to hit me. I couldn't think of anyone else to turn to but you. Please, hurry and save me!"

Boyfriend?

Lin Dong was taken aback. He quickly surmised that Xia Qinghee's boyfriend might be violent and prone to lash out at her.

This was a personal issue for Xia Qinghee.

Typically, it would be difficult for outsiders to intervene without getting caught in the crossfire.

But as her cousin, Lin Dong felt both a moral and familial obligation to not just stand by while she was in trouble.

Without hesitation, he responded, "Where are you? I'm on my way!"

"Yes, I'm at apartment 1202 in building three of the Ling complex on Nest Lake Road. Please, come quickly! He's searching for me and he's about to find me!"

Xia Qinghee's voice faded as she spoke, and then Lin Dong heard a man's angry shouts in the background. It was clear Xia Qinghee was hiding.

She could be discovered at any moment!
