"Let's change the subject. Why are we bringing her up together? Oh, by the way, I have a junior reporter here..."
Xu Zhaoyue and He Lianhua discussed it, and the next day she told Yue Lanxing that they could arrange for someone to go in.
"We can arrange a spot at the entrance, but in a rather secluded place. Pretend you've contacted one of the servants inside, and don't say it was us who made the deal."
"Yes, Miss, I will hide myself," Yue Lanxing replied.
Xu Zhaoyue nodded and looked at Yue Lanxing's face. After a minute, she saw that Yue Lanxing's ears turned red, but Yue Lanxing kept her gaze down, seemingly oblivious to her surroundings.
Xu Zhaoyue was in a particularly good mood today, so she was willing to compete with him to see who would lose their temper first. How come she hadn't noticed before that Yue Lanxing's ears were so sensitive?
Everyone who sees Yue Lanxing for the first time thinks he's some rich young master. Xu Zhaoyue considered this possibility in her mind, but she had met all the famous families in Shanghai, and none of them had this kind of appearance.
And since he moved here from somewhere else, it's hard not to overthink things. Xu Zhaoyue suddenly remembered the word "protagonist." Although she no longer had those memories, she still had some scattered impressions. Wasn't Yue Lanxing the template for a protagonist?
If someone can turn any danger into good fortune, then of course we should make use of them. We'll definitely see Han Zhuzhu at the party. Given Han Zhuzhu's temperament, being targeted is a small matter; she's the kind of person who always carries a gun.
Xu Zhaoyue now feels that choosing him as her bodyguard was definitely the right decision. In case of any accident, Yue Lanxing's abilities would surely protect her.
Because of the difference in their status, Xu Zhaoyue could freely scrutinize the person in front of her, while Yue Lanxing was desperately trying to figure out the young lady's intentions and how she should respond.
As expected, Yue Lanxing was the first to give in. He mustered his courage and looked up at Xu Zhaoyue. Their eyes met, and she looked at him with a curious gaze. Was the young lady curious about him? Curious about what?
"You!" Xu Zhaoyue's single word made Yue Lanxing jump. "It's Miss, what are your orders?"
Xu Zhaoyue chuckled and said, "I was thinking, yesterday Lianhua said you're good-looking." Yue Lanxing immediately began to recall everything that happened last night. He didn't know what the young lady meant by that, so he replied, "Miss He is right. You have good taste, young lady."
"Ha, really?" Xu Zhaoyue nodded. "Of course, how could I not have good taste? What I was trying to say was, who do you look like? I have a feeling that I've seen you before."
"Well... I think I resemble my father, but he died young and I have no memory of him." Yue Lanxing thought for a moment. To be honest, even based on his mother's appearance when she was young, he and his mother did not look alike.
Xu Zhaoyue sensed something else in those words, but she didn't show it. "You said before that you dropped out of school to take care of your mother. Now that you work at Xu's, you have employee benefits. Remember to take her to the hospital for a check-up."
"Hey, last time I asked you to go see Cui Bai for a pulse diagnosis, didn't you?" Xu Zhaoyue used a question to express certainty. She knew that Yue Lanxing definitely hadn't gone to see Cui Bai; it's not good to avoid seeking medical help.
Seeing that the young lady had been looking at him for so long and then asked these questions, Yue Lanxing was a little at a loss. "No, my illness is nothing serious, it's nothing to worry about."
“Alright.” Xu Zhaoyue nodded. “Just do it your way. By the way, go and call Tian Dai over.”
"Yes, I'll go right away." Yue Lanxing subconsciously turned to leave, but he still wanted to ask one more question, so he turned back. "Is there anything else you want to ask me, Miss?"
"Ah? Oh, that's all." Xu Zhaoyue laughed happily, completely forgetting that she had been watching Yue Lanxing for several minutes just now, as if only Yue Lanxing had been pounding in her heart for that long.
Yue Lanxing left the office dejectedly. When Tian Dai was called out by him, his expression made it seem like something serious had happened, but it turned out he was just asked to go to the office.
Xu Zhaoyue called Tian Dai over because she suddenly remembered Han Zhuzhu. The Han family was in the gun business and was very famous in Shanghai. The Yan family was close to the Han family and was in the ship business. The two families had a good working relationship.
Originally, the He family came to Shanghai intending to cooperate with them, but unfortunately, the Han family was too arrogant and did not take the He family seriously. They even wanted the He family to submit to them, so the He family went out on their own.
It's just a matter of a sentence, but back then it was a fascinating story that people talked about with great interest. Xu Zhaoyue had heard all sorts of thrilling tales since she was a child.
"Young Miss, you wanted to see me?" Tashiro entered.
"Well, how's your marksmanship coming along?" Xu Zhaoyue asked.
Tian Dai explained his learning achievements one by one, almost telling Xu Zhaoyue how many bullets he used in one night: "I can already hit nine out of ten shots. After three more days of practice, I can hit all of them."
"To hit nine out of ten shots in such a short time is commendable, but I don't want 'can,' I want 'definitely.' Once you hit them all, all your previous grudges can be settled." Xu Zhaoyue's tone was calm, but it had a huge impact on Tian Dai.
The information submitted by Tian Dai did not mention that he had offended anyone. He did enter the Xu family to avoid people, but what did the young lady mean by that?
"Oh, you seem surprised. I know these things shouldn't be difficult, right? After all, he's my bodyguard. How can I trust him without thoroughly investigating his background?" Xu Zhaoyue looked directly into Tian Dai's eyes, exuding an air of shrewdness.
Tashiro reflected on his recent time at the villa, a stark contrast to his previous life of constant running around. However, he gritted his teeth and said, "The young lady thought highly of me by sending me to the warehouse for training. I won't cause her any trouble. I'll do it now..."
