Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Wei Chenyan wanted to say something, but thinking about how Gu Xiqiao was probably very close to Zhuge Yan, he clamped his mouth shut. He returned to Wei Manor and sat down on the sofa, playing with his phone.

After Butler Wei sent Huangfu Xuan out, he came back in with a gentleman with golden-rimmed glasses. “Second Young Master, Teacher Chen is here.”

Chen Qing was the tutor that the Wei family had hired for Wei Chenyan. Wei Chenyan was going to take the national exams next year, but his results were simply unsightly. Grandpa Wei had no choice but to hire a private tutor for him, but this was already the third one. The first two had been beaten and chased out by Wei Chenyan.

Seeing Butler Wei bringing the tutor in, Wei Chenyan just smiled at them before heading upstairs, closing his room door with a hard 'slam'.

“Teacher Chen, this…” Butler Wei wiped the cold sweat that broke out on his face, looking at the man. Chen Qing was a graduate student of the Faculty of Economics and Management from Ming University, and he was very famous. There had been countless famous companies bringing him offers before he even graduated, and even the Wei family had thoughts about hiring him with a high salary before this. However, Chen Qing had always been obsessed with research, so he had turned down the offers.

For Wei Chenxi to invite Chen Qing to be Wei Chenyan's private tutor also took a lot of effort on his part, so Butler Wei was anxious when Wei Chenyan displayed this sort of attitude. This teacher wasn't some random commoner after all!

But when he looked at the man, he found that Chen Qing was looking at Gu Xiqiao with something akin to a surprise on his face.

His face was lit up in excitement, and he was a bit clumsy with his movements, his legs and hands suddenly uncoordinated, and even his voice was shaking as he called out to her, “Miss… Miss Gu!”

Gu Xiqiao raised her head at her name, narrowing her eyes at the person in front of her. With her strong memory, she was sure she had not met this person before.

“You might not know me, Miss Gu. I'm Chen Qing from the Faculty of Economics and Management of Ming University. I've seen the business battle between Nine Heavens and the Bai family!” Chen Qing's face was flushed. He always had the thought of heading to the Imperial Capital after he graduated, and maybe he could even try to enter Nine Heavens. However, he never expected to bump into Gu Xiqiao in Mingzhou, this godlike character in the financial world.

Butler Wei watched on at how excited Chen Qing was, talking to Gu Xiqiao. He had always been cool and aloof, and he was stunned speechless at this side of the man that he had never seen before. The butler could only turn his surprised eyes towards Gu Xiqiao. Chen Qing had been calm even when he had been faced with Wei Chenxi, so who in the world was this mysterious girl that had suddenly made an appearance?

Who was this person, who made Chen Qing into this state, and made Mr. Yan so courteous towards her?

Because Wei Chenyan refused to come down, Butler Wei had to see Chen Qing out.

“Butler Wei, I won't come again tomorrow.” Chen Qing sighed. “To be able to invite Miss Gu to come, with her around, I really don't have any face to show here.”

The butler was caught by surprise once again: “…” What in the world was going on here?!

What was happening, for Chen Qing, who was such a well-known genius, to show such an expression on his face?

At night, in one of the biggest nightclubs in Mingzhou, the lights were dim and the people were gathered and having fun.

“Second Young Master Wei, the girl you brought along this time ain't bad.” The guy sitting next to Wei Chenyan gestured towards the girl that was sitting at the edge of the bar as he touched his chin thoughtfully.

Another guy also nodded his head. “She's really a beauty that resembles jade. There's no one in the entire Mingzhou that can hold half a candle to her.”

Birds of a feather flock together, since Wei Chenyan was a hedonistic son of a rich family, it was obvious the people around him were all the same too.

Wei Chenyan didn't reply to that, but he raised his glass towards the girl. He had thought that people like her were not used to nightclubs, and so he immediately picked this place to hang out with a few acquaintances of his. Wasn't she the newly hired 'bodyguard'? Let her back down when she faced difficulties like this then! But he didn't expect her to be like a fish taking to water in this place!

The indifferent, lazy temperament that she displayed was extremely attractive, especially under the dim light of the nightclub. Her face glowed slightly, and it was all the more compelling.

Even the guys around him who were accustomed to being surrounded by beautiful girls couldn't stop their eyes from straying to her. Wei Chenyan couldn't help but feel bored, and he lit a cigarette, taking two puffs.

There were many people who held their wine glass in hand around her, but none of them dared to make a move towards her.

He had hoped to see her in an embarrassed state, but he didn't expect her to ignore everything around her instead. Feeling like it wasn't interesting anymore, he threw the cigarette in hand away, standing up to leave. But at this time, a large group of people holding iron rods in their hand suddenly came rushing forward.

These people smashed the table Wei Chenyan was sitting at, and panic broke out in the nightclub at the action.

“Ahhhh!”

The dance floor was also in chaos, people were screaming and crying suddenly. Coupled with the sound of booming music, the entire scene descended into pandemonium. Everyone hung their heads and left quickly, and some were even almost trampled on.

It seemed as though there were almost hundreds of these men in black, and they looked imposing under the colorful light flashing in the nightclub. Even the bouncers in the club didn't dare to make any movements.

Wei Chenyan looked at the men in black, his fist clenched. Seeing the way they were coming towards him, it was obvious their target was him. He naturally had brought other bodyguards out, apart from Gu Xiqiao, but it wasn't enough to face off against these aggressive criminals.

None of his acquaintances could fight, they were all just fancy looks on the outside only after all, and they definitely didn't stand a single chance against these people either.

“Young Master Wei, hurry and find a chance to leave!” One of them had grabbed a wooden stick with a grunt, and anxiously said to Wei Chenyan.

Wei Chenyan had come out with them tonight, if anything happened to him, the Wei family would definitely not let them off so easily. Anyone else could have an accident happen to them tonight, but Wei Chenyan had to be safe!

Wei Chenyan gritted his teeth, and one of his arms was hit with a pole. He fell to the ground with a pained yell. Go, he had to go! He raised his head, seeing Gu Xiqiao still sitting at the bar and playing with her phone as she drank her wine. Her position had not changed since just now, as though her surroundings were still surrounded by the joyous atmosphere of the nightclub.

“F*ck!” Wei Chenyan cursed under his breath, he had already said that when trouble came, he would end up being the one to save her!

He burst into a sprint towards her, breaking through the commotion around him and suffered two more blows on his body for his effort before reaching her. “Why the f*ck are you still here?! Are you waiting to die?!”

She finally placed her wine glass down, turning her head to look at him. She seemed to be thinking about something, and under the dim lights, Wei Chenyan couldn't see her expression properly, and thought that she had been scared speechless. “Don't be afraid, there must be someone guarding the front door. There's a back door on your left, just run straight for it, don't look back no matter what!”

As soon as he said that, his legs gave out under him. He had been kicked, and he sprawled to the ground.

It looked like the other bodyguards and his acquaintances had been made short work of.

He raised his head, seeing the iron rod that was coming right at him. The lights that were flashing seemed to stop in this moment, and he felt like his death was near. His mind was blank, and in his mind, all he could think of was that web drama that he hadn't had the chance to finish watching.

Unexpectedly, the iron rod stopped mid-air.

A clear, melodious voice rang out suddenly. “If you dare to bring that down, I'll make sure you die without a trace.”

The voice was so very cold, and it caused the person wielding the rod to stop his movements forcefully.

In the next second, another figure appeared in front of him. The leader of the gangsters, including Wei Chenyan all turned to the bar, widening their eyes as the afterimage gradually dissipated.

“Who are you, and how dare you interfere in our business?” One of the underlings called out viciously.

Only, before he could finish his words, the leader of the gangsters suddenly reached out to slap him with a loud 'smack'. “B*stard, how dare you talk like that. Hurry up and apologize to Miss Gu!”

The leader threw down the rod in his hand after that, hurrying to help Wei Chenyan up from the floor. “Young Master Wei, I'm so very sorry! It's just a small misunderstanding between us, I didn't know that you were acquainted with Miss Gu!”

Wei Chenyan and the few guys with him looked at each other with slack jaws, these gangsters were obviously hardened men, ones who didn't care about dying to carry out their orders. They weren't afraid of the Wei family, but they were extremely respectful towards a girl? Was there something wrong with their eyes?

“Miss Gu?” The other gangsters immediately fell to the ground in a kneeling position.

Miss Gu, that was the person behind Bai Gang taking over the world! Especially the matter that broke out yesterday, the hidden gang that killed a lot of people over the years were suddenly annihilated by that gang. People on the streets had been in a panic over the sudden happenings, and the two members had muttered the words 'Miss Gu' when they were arrested.

She actually came to Mingzhou!

When these people heard about the news, all of them were afraid of taking one wrong step. The Bai Gang had mysteriously taken care of the Qingyun Gang previously after all, and also the gang that had been issued a pennant by the police. Adding on the fact that they had just annihilated the hidden killer gang so easily, how could they not be in shock?

Right now, they had been unlucky enough to have bumped into her!

They didn't expect her to be acquainted with the Wei family, and thinking about this their legs become jelly like, and they all knelt down, kowtowing one by one to her.

It was shocking how just a few minutes ago, these hundred men were all having bloodthirsty expressions on their faces, and now they were all kneeling down in fear in front of a girl. Gu Xiqiao's expression didn't change, and she turned his phone around, the screen still lit up.

She brought the phone up to the leader's face. “I had thought to send this to the police anonymously.”

The leader was still kneeling on the ground, but he raised his head to read the lines displayed on Gu Xiqiao's phone, and the cold sweat broke out ferociously as he read the words. His heart was threatening to leap out of his ribcage. It's… those were all the evidence of their gangs' work, oh my god, that was close, that was so close!

Gu Xiqiao didn't say anything further, turning to look at Wei Chenyan and the others with him. “Let's go.”

After they left, the leader finally seemed to come alive again. The weather in Mingzhou was neither hot nor cold, but he looked like he had been drenched in water. When he finally pulled himself together, he took out his phone to make a call. Without waiting for the other side to speak once they had picked up, he started cursing, “D*mmit, if you want to die, don't drag us down with you, okay?! Wei Chenyan is acquainted with Miss Gu, and you actually got me to make a move against him! … Who is Miss Gu? You don't know?! Forget it, if you don't know, then you don't have to know. She'll be coming after you soon enough, just wait and go to h*ll!”

He hung up the phone, then fell to the ground again. He felt as though he just had a close brush with death.

Wei Chenyan and his friends supported each other to walk as they followed behind Gu Xiqiao, the scene of her afterimage disappeared, kept replaying in their minds, and their eyes were brightly lit.

An unfamiliar man suddenly appeared in front of them, causing Wei Chenyan and the others to be on guard immediately. They all moved to stand in front of Gu Xiqiao, but they didn't expect the man to just ignore their presence as he dragged another person from behind him, throwing him onto the ground. His voice was deep as he spoke, “This is the person, Miss Gu.”

The man on the ground was still holding a phone in his hand, as though he had been talking to someone before this. “Y-you, what do you think you're doing?!”

“Nothing, I just wanted to see who made a move against Wei Chenyan.” Gu Xiqiao glanced at the man, her voice lazy. “But I see that wasn't necessary now.”

Gu Xiqiao took a piece of jade from her pocket, throwing it towards Yi Tong. “Send this person to the police station, Yi Tong. And send these people back home too. I'm heading back first.” She was obviously referring to Wei Chenyan and the others in her sentence.

As soon as she said that, a pink, sleek car drove up next to her, and she stepped into it, the car speeding off soon after.

“Of course, Miss Gu.” Yi Tong lifted the man off the ground easily, a hundred fifty pounds seemingly as light as chicken in his hands.

The man who had been picked up by Yi Tong was shaking in fear, thinking back to the bullsh*t the gangster had been spouting, the cold sweat continued to roll down his face. Miss Gu! That was Miss Gu! It hadn't even been twenty minutes since the entire thing had started, and he had been caught?! Oh my god, who the heck was she?! He had thought that the other party would interrogate him when he was caught, but he didn't expect her to send him straight to the police instead without giving him a chance at all. He blinked twice, before falling into a faint.

“That person, can't possibly be the one who tried to have you killed, right?” One of the guys said in a dry voice to Wei Chenyan.

Wei Chenyan pursed his lips, not knowing the answer to that.

Yi Tong smiled. “That's right.”

Hiss! The moment he confirmed it, everyone took in a hissing breath of cold air.

The entire matter had happened not even twenty minutes ago, and the person had already been caught in such a short time?

In Tianxing Hotel, Gu Xiqiao parked the car in the parking lot and entered the room. Hua Youlin was sprawled on the table, reading a medical book. Shao Ge was reading a grade six book nearby him, which had been left by Gu Xiqiao for him this morning before she left.

“Beauty Qiao,” Jiji turned its head from where it was looking at the computer screen. “Someone from the Bai gang said that someone has hired a detective to look into you.”

As she took off her coat, Gu Xiqiao responded, “Huangfu Xuan?”

Guessing it in one go, Jiji makes a clicking sound. “So boring.”

Gu Xiqiao didn't say anything further, taking out another computer from her inventory. The pages on the screen flew past quickly, and Jiji took a glance at it. Gu Xiqiaio had pressed the 'Enter' key by then, and a three-dimensional map of Mingzhou appeared.

“Jiji, contact the ancient martial arts world.” Gu Xiqiao said with a deep breath.
