Gu Xu found everything that happened tonight to be utterly unbelievable.

First, He Wangyao went mad for no reason, and then Ming Zhuo brought his family to demand an explanation.

He Wangyao was knocked unconscious by Ming Zhuo's slap.

However, he also accepted it all well, calmly telling the Ruan family, "It's alright, he probably fainted because he was emotionally agitated. I'll take him to the hospital."

He paused, then said to Ruan Mingxuan, "I'm sorry."

Mother Ruan smiled and said, "Alright, since that's the case, we'll head back now. The child has to go to school early tomorrow morning."

Seeing that things were not going well, she quickly pulled Mingzhuo and Ruan Mingxuan away and made a hasty escape.

But then again, that young man was far too weak.

She fainted from just one slap, and she even suspected that the other person was deliberately trying to extort money from her precious daughter.

Fortunately, Mr. Gu is very righteous and did not blindly protect his own; he is a very reliable person.

Once outside the gate, Ruan's mother asked Mingzhuo, who had been silent all along, "Honey, don't worry, it's nothing serious. That person deserved it."

She remained silent because she was worried that her daughter had been frightened.

Mingzhuo looked up, a little guilty, "It's alright, I wasn't too worried."

She was just a little worried. She had killed the evil spirit with a slap, but what about the original owner of that body?

It didn't die, but it must have signed a contract "voluntarily" to relinquish its body; otherwise, if the evil spirit died, its body should have immediately rotted away.

That evil spirit should know better than to kill it and instead keep it alive to torture it slowly... cough, I mean to interrogate it!

Xu Shanglou and Ruan Mingying, who were waiting outside, quickly came to greet them when they came out.

Ah Hu briefly explained the situation.

Xu Shanglou said gently to Mingzhuo, "Mom is right. Don't be afraid. I'll cover for you if anything happens."

Ruan Mingying stepped forward and took Mingzhuo's hand. "Baby, were you scared? Who knows if that kind of person is having a mental breakdown or is just too weak to withstand a slap?"

Her Zhuozhuo is so delicate, how much force could a slap have?

Deng Tu Zi's acting is far too exaggerated; no one would believe he didn't do it on purpose.

Mingzhao: "..."

She felt something was off; why were people looking at her with such pity when she had hit someone?

Forget it, she'd better go to sleep first.

——

The next day, a spring rain fell, and the weather suddenly turned cold.

After class, Mingzhuo looked out the window at the misty rain, thinking to himself that he had to go to his neighbor's house after school.

If you leave it alone and the soul stays away from the body for too long, that person will probably really die.

Li Wenhe walked in carrying two packages. "Boss, your package."

When he received the call, he knew it was from Lei Shi and was addressed to Ming Zhuo.

The delivery man was staring at him with a horrified look. He found it strange and, as he left with his umbrella, overheard the man talking to someone next to him.

"I was so scared! I checked, this school only has 25 classes per grade, there's no such thing as a 44th class!"

"If it weren't for the generous payment, I wouldn't have dared to make this trip!"

"On a rainy day, there's no sun, and the rain masks the smells, so you can't tell whether the person in front of you is a human or a ghost!"

Li Wenhe: "..."

However, sir, aren't you overthinking this?

The deliveryman next to him probably also found it absurd and impatiently shoved the person aside, saying, "Get out of the way."

Li Wenhe glanced at the courier's hurried departure. Rainwater washed over the ground, and for a moment his mind went blank; he couldn't quite recall what the man looked like.

However, he didn't take it seriously. He stared at the man for two seconds through the rain with a blank expression before turning and leaving.

Li Wenhe put his package in the locker, walked over and asked Mingzhuo with mixed feelings, "Why did you insist on creating Class 44?"

"What's wrong? Everything's fine, isn't it?" Mingzhuo said. "The school definitely doesn't have this class; there's absolutely no mistake!"

Li Wenhe: "..."

Oh, so you knew that too.

Pei Di watched Ming Zhuo open the package with curiosity, and her eyes widened when she saw that it was a bank card.

Mingzhuo wasn't surprised, but instead picked up his phone and sent a message to Jiang Furong.

A message came back quickly.

Master, I have already met with Lanze, and we are getting to know each other better.

[You helped me fight against fate. If possible, I would love to visit you in person to express my gratitude, but I'm afraid it would be inconvenient for you. You are a highly accomplished person; you don't accept large donations even when you're live-streaming your fortune telling, which shows your true noble character. I don't know how to repay you, so after much thought, I've decided to offer you my bank card. I hope you won't refuse.]

After reading the message, Li Wenhe couldn't help but glance at Ming Zhuo several times.

Is this person really so noble that he considers money as dirt? Why doesn't he think so?

Mingzhuo asked, "Are you only just realizing now that this is a niche, high-paying profession?"

Pei Di scratched his head. "Really? It's alright. Isn't this what you deserve? Most people wouldn't earn this much."

He was just a bit withdrawn, and his financial advantage within his small group had vanished.

But he wasn't jealous at all of the boss earning more!

From the day he voluntarily became Mingzhuo's underling, he had a kind of blind worship for Mingzhuo. Now the worship has only deepened, and he feels that there is no problem in the world that the boss cannot solve!

Li Wenhe's voice tightened slightly: "If I want to learn, would you be willing to teach me?"

Mingzhuo stared at him for two seconds, then readily agreed, "Of course I'm willing! I already said I'd protect you all."
