"Can't we pay in cash?"

The man shook his head, clearly this wasn't possible. Besides, this thing absolutely had to be handed in today, and it must be with the person's own Agricultural Bank card.

Yuanyuan felt the urge to curse; since when were there so many rules? It was already 3 PM, and most banks were probably closed by now.

"There's a bank here, word is it's a special 24-hour bank." Yuanyuan was stunned upon hearing this; she clearly had not heard of such a bank before. But thankfully, since there was such a bank, they would go there.

"You absolutely need to get this bank card today; it's also the one the school will need in the future and can be used for a long, long time." The man advised sincerely.

His expression was very earnest, as if he genuinely had her interests at heart. Yet, beneath that facade, there was a lingering sense of unease.

"Is there some kind of plot?" Chen Xiaoqi shook her head at the thought; after all, this was a school. What could a small school staff member possibly do?

As the woman was anxious, there was another person also anxious, though he believed Luo Chao would step in.

"Who are you, kid? Why do you want to, even if you come, there's a sequence to follow, isn't there?" The man struggled, trying to free his hand.

But Luo Chao's grip felt as unmovable as a vice, not allowing the slightest movement.

"Let go of our boss, you bastard." The others were stunned that their leader was actually grabbed by someone. Moreover, none of them had clearly seen how this person managed it.

"This guy? You ask me to let him go, and I let him go, huh? Don't you consider my feelings?" Luo Chao's smiling demeanor infuriated the rest; just some punk, why should they care about his feelings?

"Go to hell!" It was as if they all sensed the same thought simultaneously, and they kicked him directly.

With a scream, the corners of their mouths curled slightly. That arrogant jerk, with no real strength at all, didn't he know that someone without strength shouldn't be showing off?

Those with the strength to swagger are cool, but someone without it is just an idiot for doing so, much like this idiot they just beat up.

"Boss, you..."

The others wanted to support their boss but froze. The person they had collectively knocked down wasn't the one who grabbed their boss, but their boss himself.

Did they just beat up their own boss? And he seemed to be hurt, too. What on earth was going on? Why did it turn out this way?

Though surprised, they understood well that this matter was most likely connected to Luo Chao, and it must have something to do with what Luo Chao did.

"Kid, what did you do to our boss?" The man angrily glared at Luo Chao as if he wanted to swallow him whole.

"Do what? It's like you saw, I just let your boss go; who knew you'd hit so hard that you knocked him out."

Luo Chao said indifferently, while helping up the frightened Zhong Liu: "How's it going, are you okay?"

Zhong Liu nodded, she was fine, though she had just tripped out of fright. Being held by this person again felt familiar, though.

Especially the warm sense of security made her reluctant to leave this embrace. If only she could stay here forever.

The man looked pleased, seemingly content that even if he wasn't there, the mother and daughter could live well on their own, her strength was like this. If it weren't for her strength, none of these things would have happened.

"Let's go." The man said nonchalantly. It stunned the driver; was he really leaving now?

"Aren't we going to check, sir?" The driver asked worriedly; what if his master was just having a temper?

"No need; leave Asong and the others to protect them, it's certain nothing will happen with that person around." All he had to do was protect them from behind the scenes.

Having done so many wrongs to them in the past, just watching over them from afar now was truly satisfying enough; what else could he dare to wish for?

The man nodded; he knew about the past events, yet these things weren't entirely his fault back then. His young master and the old master's relationship had a part to play in that.

Now, the young master had finally become the master and developed the Zhong family's affairs to this extent, but the one he loved then would never return to his side.

Releasing Zhong Liu, Luo Chao answered the phone, it was a call from Yuanyuan, surely something was up. Ordinarily, this woman wouldn't call him from school.

"Auntie, I have something to do, gotta go." Luo Chao ran into the school directly.

Zhong Liu's mother shouted at Luo Chao's departing figure: "You're not even done eating, there's so much left."

But, unfortunately, Luo Chao couldn't hear her words.

"Geez, that kid in such a hurry, who knows what he's up to."

Zhong Liu's mother didn't know, but Zhong Liu understood: it must be related to Jiang Yuanyuan. There was no possibility between him and her.

Li Dacheng initially wanted to follow, but he hadn't finished eating the barbecue yet, and he simply couldn't match his boss's speed.

"Kid, just finish eating before you go." Though Luo Chao left, Li Dacheng was still there. Li Dacheng felt a bit awkward; he originally wanted to ask if Luo Chao was going to Kyoto University, but now there was no chance.

"Not taking calls? What's going on?" How dare Luo Chao not answer his calls, this was infuriating.

He was supposed to be his bodyguard yet dared to act so out of line; he'd definitely dock his salary for being so arrogant.

"Luo Chao's here." Chen Xiaoqi suddenly pointed to the car in the distance, "That's their car, and since Luo Chao's arrived, then it must be him."

"Why did you drive over?" Jiang Yuanyuan asked curiously. She hadn't even said anything yet.

"Isn't it obvious? You haven't returned from that place for so long, clearly something's up. If you can't solve it at the finance office, you'd surely have to go outside the school."

Along with this unlikely phone call, Luo Chao knew Yuanyuan must be in a hurry to get something done.
