Against Fate (Eternal Love of Dream/Pillow Book FanFic)

77. Su Moye Saves The Day

After Si Ming calmed down, Feng Jiu tried to think of solutions to help him out.

"We can't just barge into their house as we would end up in jail. Should I ask Dong Hua for help?" Feng Jiu asked.

"No, we can't ask Dong Hua for help. The 'Fan Family' would definitely deny it. They are well-known to be traditional, and they absolutely cared about how people would think of them. It would make things worse." Si Ming shook his head.

"Who else can we ask then? Wait! I know someone! Su Moye would be able to help us out for sure. Technically, he is still her fiancé, so it wouldn't be weird if he asked them about it. Right?" Feng Jiu said.

Si Ming immediately widened his eyes and replied, "You're so smart Feng Jiu. That would definitely work, but I'm not close to him too."

"Don't worry! I know him pretty well, and I'm sure he would help us out. He's a nice guy." Then Feng Jiu immediately took her phone out and called Su Moye.

Feng Jiu: Hey! I'm so sorry to bother you, Su Moye. But we really have an emergency here. It seems like Yu Xi was caught by her dad, and now she's missing. We really have no idea what to do next, so I was hoping you could help us.

Su Moye: Hey, no worries about that. Really? I would definitely help you guys out, but we need a better plan before approaching the Fan Family. They are well-known to be secretive too.

Feng Jiu: We know that, and this is why we don't know what else to do other than seeking help from you.

Su Moye: Should we meet up tomorrow at 1 PM so that we could discuss about it? It would be easier for all of us to talk about it face to face.

Feng Jiu then discussed with Si Ming about taking a half-day leave, and they agreed to do so.

Feng Jiu: Sure, both of us would take half-day off from work. I know a quiet cafe where we could talk about it. I'll text you the address later on. Thank you so much, Su Moye.

Su Moye: That's what friends are for. I'll see you both tomorrow. Try to feel better, and we will discuss our plans tomorrow.

Feng Jiu: I will! See you tomorrow. Good night.

Then they hung up the call. Feng Jiu then told Si Ming not to drive since he's not in the right state to do so now. She also told him to stay at Yu Xi's place for the night, and she would take the bus back home.

"Are you sure that you'll be okay on your own?" Feng Jiu asked worriedly. "Don't worry about me, Feng Jiu. I'll be able to handle it. I need to stay strong so that I can save Yu Xi." Si Ming reassured her.

After making sure that Si Ming was feeling better, Feng Jiu left and headed back home. She thought to herself, "Hopefully, Su Moye would be able to help us save Yu Xi. It breaks my heart to see Si Ming acting this way. If it happened to me, I would be devastated too."

*Flashback to Christmas night*

Si Ming sends Yu Xi home after their sweet date at the Lang Man Restaurant. While they were walking towards her building from the car park, someone was already watching them.

Both of them failed to notice that as they were busy laughing and talking to each other. The shady man even followed them into the elevator.

The shady man waited for Si Ming and Yu Xi to press the button for their floor before pressing the one below them. Then he got out of the elevator and ran up the stairs. He hid behind the doors and spied on them. After seeing Yu Xi entering her apartment, he quietly made a call to someone while he continues to observe them.
