Transmigrated into a female-oriented novel, and put an end to the domineering CEOs all over the city

A corner seat by the window in the cafeteria of Badu University.

Lu Jingxiu walked over with a tray and placed the stir-fried dishes on the table one by one. The amount of dishes was not large, but there were many kinds, filling a small table.

Lin Yutang looked at the table full of dishes and paused for a moment, "Isn't this too much?"

"It's okay, we can take the leftovers home."

Lu Jingxiu pushed a cup of milk tea in front of her, picked up another cup for himself, inserted a straw, took a sip, and said, "Eat it."

Lin Yutang nodded; she was indeed starving.

She first sipped the soup slowly, then started picking up the vegetables and putting rice into her mouth one bite at a time. Her eating manners were not messy, but her speed was not slow either.

Lu Jingxiu didn't rush her, and waited for her to have something to eat while he drank his milk tea.

After she had eaten about half a bowl of rice and finally slowed down, he asked, "What exactly is going on between you and that Trish?"

Lin Yutang put down her chopsticks, picked up the milk tea that Lu Jingxiu had bought for her, and took a big gulp.

The milk tea was warm, with a moderate sweetness, and the tapioca pearls were soft, chewy, and bouncy.

She hadn't had anything like this in a long time. With one sip, the sweetness melted on her tongue, and she even felt like crying.

She composed herself, took a deep breath, and began to speak.

"My parents died in a car accident when I was in high school. After the compensation money came in, my uncle's family said that I was still young and they would keep it for me. So they moved into my house and said they would take care of me."

Lu Jingxiu nodded. A classic start: both parents dead, relatives seizing the property.

"Later they started gambling and lost a lot of money. The compensation money was quickly gone, and the house was mortgaged." Lin Yutang paused, "Then, they were drowning in debt, and when the creditors came knocking, they...sold me."

"Sold it?" Lu Jingxiu raised an eyebrow; this was a serious illegal act.

"Yes, I was sold to someone who specializes in human trafficking." Lin Yutang's voice lowered. "Then I was taken to Germany, and Trish bought me at... something like an auction."

When Lu Jingxiu heard the words "auction", the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

Lin Yutang continued, "He took me to a very remote old castle. It was very large and looked very ancient. There weren't many people there, only a few servants and bodyguards. He wouldn't let me go out, use my cell phone, or contact the outside world. He said I was his collectible and had to stay with him forever."

Lu Jingxiu silently took a sip of milk tea.

"I stayed there for a year," Lin Yutang continued. "This time, he brought me along because he was coming to Xia Country to discuss a very important contract."

"He didn't want to bring me along at first, but I begged him to let me go back to China for a visit, and that's when he agreed to take me. On the plane, I started planning my escape. After we got to the hotel, I took advantage of their inattention, pretended to get some fresh air, and then ran out through the fire escape."

Lu Jingxiu learned what happened next.

She ran out and was caught by Trish's men near the park. They tied her up in the street and put her in a car, where he saw her and called the police.

After Lin Yutang finished speaking, she drank the last bit of milk tea in her cup, even carefully sucking up the tapioca pearls at the bottom with a straw.

Then she picked up her chopsticks and ate all the remaining food and rice on the plate.

After finishing her meal, she realized she had eaten a bit too much and glanced at Lu Jingxiu somewhat embarrassedly.

Lu Jingxiu took out a pack of tissues from his pocket, pulled one out, and handed it to her.

Lin Yutang took the tissue, wiped her mouth, then sat up straight, her expression becoming serious again.

"Lu Jingxiu, thank you for treating me to dinner, and thank you for calling the police to save me that day," she said, looking into his eyes with a serious tone, "but I really have to warn you, Trish is a very dangerous person."

She lowered her voice, as if she were talking about a state secret: "Listen to me, he's not the kind of ordinary rich kid you imagine. His family has a lot of influence in Europe, with people in both political and business circles."

"In Germany, even if he gets into trouble, one phone call is all it takes to settle it. His legal team can turn the black into the white. This time, the police in Xia Country were already very capable, but they still couldn't withstand the pressure from the embassy and ultimately had to release him."

She paused, then added, "And Trish himself is no fool. He earned dual doctorates in economics and law at the age of twenty, and by twenty-five he had taken over part of the family business in Asia."

"He is ruthless and doesn't care about the consequences. He will stop at nothing to achieve what he wants or who he wants to get rid of."

"He suffered a loss in Xia Country this time and was even arrested by the police, which is an absolute disgrace to him. He will definitely retaliate, and you, the one who reported him, are his first target for revenge."

Lin Yutang finished speaking in one breath, then looked at Lu Jingxiu with obvious worry in her eyes.

She hoped he would listen and take it seriously.

Lu Jingxiu's mind had already started wandering.

The heir to a mysterious German capitalist family, a castle, imprisonment, and the ability to make someone disappear with a flick of his wrist. His power is so great that even an embassy will intervene to bail someone out; and if he gets humiliated, he will retaliate a hundredfold.

This Trissie is exactly the standard male protagonist of a domineering CEO novel, except that the story's setting has been moved from China to Europe.

Love Imprisoned in an Ancient Castle; Love Divided in Germany.

Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a while, Lin Yutang assumed he was finally taking it seriously, so she added, "That's why I told you to be careful. I wasn't joking. I don't want you to get into trouble because you helped me."

Lu Jingxiu finished the last sip of his milk tea, put the cup on the table, and smiled, "Okay, I understand."

After Lin Yutang nodded, he asked, "Where do you plan to go next?"

Lin Yutang was taken aback, not expecting him to ask that.

She shook her head: "I don't know either. Let's leave here first, find a small, remote city where he can't find us, do odd jobs, and settle down first."

When she said this, her eyes were unfocused, as if she herself didn't quite believe the plan could succeed.

Lu Jingxiu could tell.

A girl who was imprisoned abroad for so long, who had just escaped only to be kidnapped and taken back to the street, and who finally managed to escape by sheer luck, has probably thought about the question of "what to do next" countless times in her mind.

Her answer was simply, "Let's take it one step at a time."

This kind of female protagonist, imprisoned and loved by a domineering CEO, is like Zhu Yuanzhang starting out in a hellish situation.

One starts as a beggar, the other as a slave.

"Do you have any money on you?" Lu Jingxiu asked again.

Lin Yutang looked up and answered honestly, "It was just one hundred dollars, the fare from the police officer."

Do you have a cell phone?

Lin Yutang shook her head.

Lu Jingxiu looked at the girl in front of him and was amused by her absurd situation.

She wore a dirty white dress, had only one hundred yuan in her pocket, no cell phone, no change of clothes, and no one to rely on.

And just now she was earnestly telling him, "You have to be careful of Trish, he's dangerous."

She herself is the one in the most danger.

"I don't have classes this afternoon," Lu Jingxiu said. "I'll take you to buy a cell phone, and we can change your clothes while we're at it."

Lin Yutang opened her mouth, wanting to refuse.

But Lu Jingxiu didn't give her a chance and continued, "You can't just wear the same clothes for several days in a row and then go to another city to find a job, can you? They'll all stink by then."

"And without a cell phone, it's inconvenient to even call the police. If that kidnapper suddenly reappears, you won't even be able to dial 110, and that would be truly disastrous."

Lin Yutang fell silent.

Because what he said made perfect sense, and there was no hint of charity or pity in his tone.

The white dress was indeed dirty, with various stains on the hem, and she could smell an unpleasant odor herself.

Lu Jingxiu stood up: "Let's go. You can pay me back when you earn money from working in the future."

Lin Yutang looked at the expression on his face that showed he didn't take Trish seriously at all, and hesitated to speak.

She told him everything about Trish's background and influence, trying to make him understand what kind of opponent he was facing.

But Lu Jingxiu's expression didn't change much after hearing this, as if he really didn't take it seriously.

She finally couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you afraid?"

"Of course," Lu Jingxiu said with a smirk, "because this is the Xia Kingdom."

It's not up to an outsider to do whatever they want.

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the cafeteria.

As he walked, he took out his phone, opened his contacts, found a number, and dialed it.

"Uncle Zhang, it's me, Jingxiu. There's something I'd like to ask you to investigate for me..."

Lin Yutang stood there, blinked, lowered her head and quietly sniffed her dress, then wrinkled her nose.

...It really smells awful.

Never mind, I'll pay this kind person back when I earn money from working in the future.

Given the current situation, there's really no way to start over elsewhere.

She pursed her lips, took a step, and chased after Lu Jingxiu's retreating figure.
