"Ah?" Zhou Yuyan said, "Shuya, why do I feel like you're the embodiment of an evil capitalist?"

Ling Shuya immediately glared at Zhou Yuyan and said, "You're the evil capitalist, I'm just cutting out corrupt practices!"

"Fine, fine, deduct away, it's not my money anyway!" Zhou Yuyan said nonchalantly.

Meanwhile, Ling Shuya had already decided to deduct ten percent from Ye Xiao's salary, but Ye Xiao didn't yet know that he had inexplicably lost five thousand from his fifty thousand salary.

A dozen minutes later, class began, and the first lesson was Chinese, naturally taught by Teacher Su Yun!

If one were to say that Ye Xiao didn't pay attention to other classes, Su Yun's class was a must for him, even to the extent that he wouldn't blink throughout the lesson, watching Su Yun. Wherever Ye Xiao's eyes went depended on where Su Yun was standing!

Su Yun was preparing for class but noticed that the seats of Han Fei and Liuu Xinlei were empty!

Su Yun looked towards Ling Shuya, the class monitor, and asked, "Shuya, where have Han Fei and Liuu Xinlei gone?"

Ling Shuya said, "They left with Guo Hui this morning and haven't returned since!"

Su Yun nodded, told Ling Shuya to sit down, and then started the class!

Ye Xiao didn't know what Su Yun was teaching that lesson, but he was very clear about the taste of Su Yun's clothing, as Ye Xiao wasn't a real student, and naturally, his thoughts were different from the other students!

However, Ye Xiao found it a bit strange that throughout the class, Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan kept looking at him from time to time, especially Ling Shuya, whose eyes carried a hint of mischief, as if she had some proud secret.

...

The afternoon was uneventful. Ye Xiao spent his time in class reading novels, and wandering the corridors after class. In the meantime, Zhou Yuyan interrogated Ye Xiao several more times about who Song Jiaqian was. Ye Xiao steadfastly denied knowing her, and seeing that Ye Xiao wouldn't talk, Zhou Yuyan ominously told him that lying came with a price.

Naturally, Ye Xiao wanted to know what the price was, but why would Zhou Yuyan be so kind as to reveal what it was?

Soon, it was time to leave school. Ye Xiao walked towards the school gates with Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan and got into the car that Weei Jie had come in to pick them up.

However, as soon as Ye Xiao got in the car, Weei Jie immediately looked at him and asked, "Can you drive?"

Ye Xiao said, "Yeah, what's up?"

Weei Jie asked, "Do you have a driver's license?"

Ye Xiao said, "I have an international driver's license, but I guess that's not valid here, right?"

Weei Jie said, "Give me your ID card, and I'll get one for you. When I'm not around, you can drive and pick up Miss Ling."

"Uncle Weei, where are you going?" Ling Shuya, sitting in the back, asked Weei Jie.

Weei Jie immediately smiled and said, "I'm also Mr. Ling's secretary, sometimes I have to follow Mr. Ling!"

At this moment, the ever-curious Zhou Yuyan immediately said, "Ye Xiao, are you planning to drive around and pick up girls?"

Ye Xiao collapsed, saying, "How is that possible? Do I look like that kind of impure person?"

Ling Shuya immediately said, "Of course you are!"

Ye Xiao said, "Oh, but how would you know that so well?"

"I..." Ling Shuya immediately felt that Ye Xiao's question was particularly malicious, there was no way she could clearly explain!

Ling Shuya huffed and chose not to speak at all!

Ye Xiao turned to Weei Jie and said, "Uncle Weei, rest assured, as long as you pay me a driver's salary, I'll drive!"

"Keep dreaming, you're already earning a monthly salary of fifty thousand, and you still want a raise? I'm telling you, you've already been fined five thousand yuan!" Ling Shuya said furiously. As a bodyguard, isn't driving the employer part of the job? Yet Ye Xiao wanted to charge extra for it, wasn't this the legendary arbitrary fee?

When Ye Xiao heard that his money had been deducted by a whole five thousand dollars, he couldn't take it anymore and looked at Ling Shuya, saying, "Why is that, my role as a bodyguard has always been fulfilled diligently, not getting a bonus is already unreasonable, and now you want to deduct my pay? Absolutely not!"

Ling Shuya, seeing that Ye Xiao was unwilling to have his money deducted, felt like she had grasped his weak spot and said with a laugh, "Don't want it deducted? Hehe, you can get off the car now. You can resign, then you won't have to worry about deductions!"

Ye Xiao really wanted to get out of the car and leave, but on second thought, if he couldn't endure two years because of these thousands of dollars, he still wouldn't know who his parents were!

Weei Jie, seeing that Ye Xiao was somewhat troubled and having noticed Ye Xiao's capabilities the night before, quickly said to Ling Shuya, "Miss, as for whether to deduct from Ye Xiao's pay, let's wait for Mr. Ling to decide. After all, Mr. Ling has said he would personally pay Ye Xiao's salary!"

Ling Shuya was quite pleased to see Ye Xiao's distressed face, but upon hearing Weei Jie's remark, her brow furrowed slightly, and she said, "Hmm, those five thousand yuan are definitely being deducted, nobody's words can change that. Uncle Weei, please drive!"

After hearing Weei Jie's words, Ye Xiao once again confirmed that Ling Shuya wasn't the decision-maker. What she said was as good as having said nothing!

On the way, Ye Xiao asked Weei Jie, "Uncle Weei, how is Huang Zongyuan? Has Mr. Ling dealt with him?"

Weei Jie said, "Huang Zongyuan and Shi Qiang, the boss of Black Dragon Company, are sworn brothers. Even though Mr. Ling could forcefully eliminate this Huang Zongyuan, that would inevitably cause hostility with Black Dragon Company. Shi Qiang is stubborn, and if he were to give a command to the Black Dragon Company's men, it would be very bad for Hengyu Group!"

Ye Xiao said, "So he's just going to be left alone? Isn't Uncle Ling afraid that Huang Zongyuan will send more people again? And when that happens, they're bound to be more troublesome than they are now!"

Weei Jie said, "Mr. Ling is well aware of this, which is why, before I came here, Mr. Ling specifically instructed me to tell you to eliminate Huang Zongyuan!"

"What?" Ye Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Weei, I remember Mr. Ling hired me to be a bodyguard, right? How come I've now become an assassin? Bodyguarding and assassination are entirely different professions!"

Weei Jie said, "But, this is also for the safety of Miss Ling. If you can't eliminate this Huang Zongyuan, I believe he will continue to send people. You should know the assassins in the underworld are plentiful, as long as there's money, anyone will come!"

Ye Xiao, hearing Weei Jie's words, felt it did make sense but...

"If I leave Miss Ling, who will protect her safety?" Ye Xiao inquired.

Weei Jie chuckled and said, "Mr. Ling only told me to have you eliminate Huang Zongyuan. As for the rest, he said you should figure it out yourself!"

"What?" Ye Xiao felt helpless. It seemed the salary of fifty thousand yuan Mr. Ling offered wasn't just for being a simple bodyguard; it also included the role of an assassin. But Ye Xiao was also troubled; he didn't even know what Huang Zongyuan looked like. If he had to find Huang Zongyuan and then kill him, it wouldn't be too difficult, but who would be responsible for Ling Shuya's safety? After all, Ye Xiao's primary mission was to protect Ling Shuya!
