CHAPTER 970: CHAPTER 114: THE TROUBLEMAKING YU HENG

Chapter 114

Yan Yuan grabbed her from behind Yu Heng.

"Didn’t I tell you not to appear?!" Yan Yuan gritted her teeth. If someone found out, she’d be in trouble again.

Yu Heng pouted pitifully, "I just like these tasty treats. Princess Yueyue, don’t you like them too? You can’t have them all to yourself; I deserve a share too."

"I’ll prepare your share later, hurry up and change back," Yan Yuan was exasperated.

This guy has no identity and occasionally disappears.

If she transformed into someone and stayed by her side, what if one day she became a bug, scaring people half to death?

Yan Yuan said viciously, "Hurry up, change back."

Yu Heng licked the cake while reluctantly pouting.

Suddenly, she pointed behind Yan Yuan and said, "Look, someone is coming."

Yan Yuan turned to look, but there was nothing behind her.

Yu Heng immediately transformed into a bug and disappeared without a trace.

When Yan Yuan noticed, Yu Heng was already gone.

"You little rascal!" Yan Yuan jumped with anger. She had been tricked by this little rascal.

"Yan Yuan! What are you doing squatting on the ground?" Jiang Han’s voice came from behind Yan Yuan.

Yan Yuan quickly stood up and turned around to see a man wearing blue swim trunks with large white flowers, his toned upper body bare.

He held a wine glass in his hand, smiling as he walked towards Yan Yuan.

"Nothing, I’m looking for something," Yan Yuan said.

She looked around, but couldn’t see any trace of Yu Heng.

This girl could change at will and even become invisible.

If she deliberately hid, there was really no way to find her.

"Looking for something? Did you lose something?" Jiang Han eagerly stepped forward, smiling at Yan Yuan’s charming face, "Why don’t I help you find it."

"No need!" Yan Yuan immediately turned and left.

Jiang Han watched Yan Yuan leave in a hurry, a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth.

He always felt this girl seemed indifferent to everything.

Even knowing his identity, she had no intention to get acquainted.

Is this playing hard to get, or does she really disdain who stands opposite her?

Jiang Han had grown up seeing women using all kinds of means to curry favor with wealthy young men, yet had never seen a woman who genuinely didn’t like them and didn’t want to marry into a wealthy family.

Based on Yan Yuan’s attitude towards Bai Chenxi that night, and today’s attitude towards him.

She seemed unconcerned about whether the other party was wealthy.

Yan Yuan searched by the pool for a long time but couldn’t find Yu Heng.

This guy deliberately hid from her, and she couldn’t find her even if she wanted to.

Just as Yan Yuan was feeling dejected, Su Meili rushed over, pulling her and exclaimed, "Yueyue, it’s terrible. My gemstone necklace is missing."

"?" Yan Yuan eyed her, "It’s just a necklace, who would want it!"

Su Meili listened to Yan Yuan’s nonchalant tone and suddenly became so anxious she almost cried.

"Yueyue, this is different. It’s a gift from my brother, worth a fortune. If I lose it, my brother will kill me." Su Meili anxiously paced back and forth, her hands constantly wringing.

Seeing her truly perturbed, Yan Yuan asked, "What necklace? Worth a fortune!"

"It’s supposedly called the Heart of the Ocean, an extremely precious thing. He auctioned it abroad, spending a fortune. He originally intended to collect it, but I liked it so much I pestered him into lending it to me. My brother said he would take it back eventually."

Yan Yuan was speechless.

"You sure have guts, asking for such an important thing to play with."

Su Meili grabbed her arm, full of pleading, "Yueyue, last time you helped me find the person who ruined my clothes. This time you must help me find the necklace. Otherwise, my brother will be angry. If he’s angry, I won’t have pocket money, and without pocket money, how can I treat you to dinner."

Yan Yuan glared at Su Meili. This fool could come up with so many reasons to ask for her help. It truly troubled her.

"Alright, take me to the scene to see. Also, who else knows about your missing necklace?" Yan Yuan asked.

Su Meili thought for a moment, then said, "When I realized it was missing, I asked everyone along the way. Now everyone present knows."

"..." Yan Yuan.

She followed Su Meili to her dressing room.

The necklace was originally placed in a jewelry box, which also had a lock.

"Did you lock the jewelry box just now?" Yan Yuan asked. She saw that the jewelry box key was intact.

"I locked it. I wanted to come back and change a necklace since such occasions suit wearing the Heart of the Ocean." Su Meili said.

Yan Yuan turned back and glared at her, "The consequences of flaunting!"

"How am I showing off? I haven’t even worn this necklace yet, almost no one knows I have it," Su Meili said. She had just gotten it from her brother yesterday and hadn’t had the chance to wear it before it went missing.

"You mean, no one knows you have this necklace?" Yan Yuan looked at the box and then around the room.

Aside from the empty box on the dressing table, nothing else seemed suspicious.

"You said the box was locked earlier, so where’s your key?" Yan Yuan asked.

Su Meili wrung her fingers, looking frustrated, "I just realized the key is missing."

"Then you should call the police," Yan Yuan said. "There were too many people around today. We must check the surveillance to see if your key was dropped and picked up by someone. And find out who knew your jewelry box had something so important in it.

"I already reported it to the police," Jiang Han entered through the door at this moment.

Yan Yuan turned to look, "That’s good, everyone present is a suspect. Let’s all go check the surveillance together now."

In the surveillance room.

Yan Yuan, Jiang Han, and Su Meili were searching for footage related to Su Meili.

"When did you notice the key was missing?" Yan Yuan asked while sifting through the footage.

Su Meili thought for a moment, it was probably after we split up. That’s when I put the key in my pocket.

Then, when I was looking for you, the necklace was stolen, and that’s when I realized the key was gone.

Something as small as a necklace is easy to hide, but today everyone was wearing swimsuits, so it’s impossible to carry it around unnoticed.

Su Meili called the police, and they arrived shortly.

Yan Yuan combed through the surveillance but found no useful clues.

For a brief moment, a sudden thought crossed her mind.

Could it be that Yu Heng took her necklace?

This guy would do anything.

With this thought, Yan Yuan was left speechless with anger.

"Dabao!" Yan Yuan left the surveillance room, calling out for Yu Heng everywhere.

No matter how she called, he just wouldn’t show himself.

Yan Yuan was anxious; if Dabao took Su Meili’s necklace...

How would she explain that?

This guy was never up to any good.

Yan Yuan angrily shouted around, "Dabao, if you don’t come out, I’ll send you rolling back. I don’t want you around me anymore."

"..."

Still, no response came from him.

"Yu Heng! Believe it or not, I’ll tell your mother about your chaos in the Mortal World and have you brought back to the Netherworld, never to come out again."

The air was silent for three seconds.

"Whoosh..."

With a tiny rustling sound, Yu Heng transformed into a dragon and flew onto Yan Yuan’s shoulder, pleading, "Yueyue, Your Highness, please don’t tell my mother. I promise to be obedient. I don’t want to be sent back to the Netherworld."

The heavens have nothing fun; it’s vast but with only a few people. There’s no appealing to stay up there.

She wanted to stay in the Mortal World, definitely not going back upstairs.

Seeing Yu Heng finally plead, Yan Yuan let out a cold snort, "You little troublemaker, only when I threaten you do you listen to me. Tell me, did you steal any shiny things from others?"

She had heard that the Dragon Clan has a habit of stealing shiny things from others.

Yu Heng shook her head quickly, "No, I was just looking for food."

"Where were you looking for food?" Yan Yuan suddenly had a bad feeling. After all, she didn’t see her by the pool or in the dining area earlier.

Yu Heng hesitated and finally whispered, "I was looking for food outside?"

"Where outside?" Yan Yuan could almost imagine it — this guy surely went to the hotel’s kitchen causing trouble again.

"Yueyue, Your Highness, I was good this time, just ate a little bit," Yu Heng explained.

At that moment, two waiters walked past Yan Yuan.

As they walked, they were saying, "Could it have been a ghost? Every dish’s food was half-eaten. The manager’s investigating who the thief is."

"Yeah, and the half-eaten parts were licked clean like it was people playing tricks..."

Yan Yuan frowned, her lips twitching as she looked down at the dragon on her shoulder.

"Yu Heng, I...!" Words failed Yan Yuan.

She was planning to have Su Meili prepare a banquet so Yu Heng could eat her fill.

Yet, this troublemaker still went around causing havoc.

Yan Yuan couldn’t hold back and grabbed the dragon’s tail, lifting Yu Heng upside down in her hand.
