Wang Yu was in the middle of an intoxicating reverie when she was suddenly snapped back to reality by Yang Wei. This put her in a bad mood and she glared fiercely at him and said, “Yang Wei, get it through your skull, I’m the officer in charge of this operation. You are the manager of public security, but you are only here to assist me now. What qualification do you have to tell me how to do my job?”

Yang Wei stared at Wang Yu stupidly. He couldn’t understand why this yatou was suddenly so angry. Didn’t she also despise Ye Qian? Why was she helping him now? He wasn’t completely stupid, so he didn’t say anything to provoke Wang Yu further however, he couldn’t help thinking to himself, Damned woman, if it weren’t for your powerful father this daddy would not tolerate your damned anger.

Could it be that the person tracking them had left? When Ye Qian reached the dark alley it was empty, but he saw traces of evidence that someone had been there. This alley was very remote, only a few people ever went in, but Ye Qian could detect the smell of perfume. It wasn’t very strong and could be classified as a floral scent. It appeared that the person who had emitted the killing aura was a woman. This made Ye Qian even more certain that the person was not from the Seven Kills, because all the members of the Seven Kills Organization were men.

Ye Qian wasn’t an expert tracker; since the opponent left, he had no way to track her down. Ye Qian shrugged his shoulders and exited the alley. Ye Qian still did not know who her target could be, but he guessed that it was most likely Qin Yue. If he wanted to find out the cause, he first had to figure out Qin Yue’s true identity. Qin Yue however did not want to talk about it, so Ye Qian did not feel like asking. If Ye Qian wanted to know about Qin Yue’s family’s identity, he only had to send a person to investigate. She was his friend though, and he didn’t want to go behind her back to dig up her background. The best thing to do was to wait for Qin Yue to voluntarily tell him about it one day.

When he returned to Wang Yu’s side, she asked worriedly, “What happened?”

Ye Qian smiled slightly and said, “Nothing, the person left.”

Wang Yu nodded and said, “Since nothing happened, then please come with me.”

“I’ll ride in Qin Yue’s car. Don’t worry, I won’t give you any trouble,” Ye Qian said with a slight smile.

On the way to the police station, Qin Yue said, “Ye Qian, that policewoman seems to like you. What’s your relationship with her?”

Ye Qian chuckled and said, “Are you jealous?”

“Jealous?’ Qin Yue said contemptuously, “How could I be jealous? I’m your teacher, you’re only my student.”

Ye Qian declined to comment further and only smiled, not continuing to argue with Qin Yue. Shanghai was a place of action. This aroused a feeling of interest within Ye Qian. If the Wolf Fang was going to expand in China, it looked like Shanghai was a good choice. This was the financial heart of China and it wasn’t far away from the capital. By the time the NSB (national security bureau) discovered the presence of Wolf Fang, their power would have already grown too much. When that time comes, even if they wanted the Wolf Fang to leave they wouldn’t be able to make them go.

Even though they had worked together with the Chinese military and the NSB many times before, it was only limited to business deals, as well as carrying out missions outside of the territory of China. The leaders of China weren’t stupid, they had stacks of files on Ye Qian in their archives. They were afraid to let this kind of dangerous person stay in China.

Qin Yue was a little taken aback by Ye Qian’s silence. She found it strange that he didn’t argue with her. “What’s wrong? Have you figured out who was following us?” Qin Yue asked.

Ye Qian shook his head and said, “The person was already gone. Likely it was because the cops came so it was not a good time to make a move. I don’t know if the target of that person was you or me, but I just got back to this country and the likelihood that people are after me is small. So you should be more careful next time.”

“I’ll be fine if you protect me,” Qin Yue said, smiling lightly.

“Protecting you is not a problem, but I can’t be beside you for all 24 hours of the day. So you should really be more careful,” Ye Qian said.

Qin Yue smiled without saying anything further on that matter. “It must be clear to you now that I’m no ordinary teacher. Don’t you want to know my real identity?”

“If you want to say it then you’ll say it. If you don’t want to then there’s nothing I can do about it,” Ye Qian said indifferently.

“You’re really so weird, you’re not even the least bit curious,” Qin Yue replied.

Ye Qian smiled indifferently and didn’t say anything more. He took out his phone and called Laodie, telling him that he would be staying over at a friend’s place for the night and wouldn’t be coming back so he shouldn’t worry. Laodie did not ask any questions, he only told Ye Qian to behave, then hung up.

“Ye Qian, I’m very curious about what you actually do,” Qin Yue said.

“I’m a student,” Ye Qian replied indifferently.

“You are a liar, you can’t be an ordinary student. You said yourself that you wouldn’t be staying in school very long. Even though you said you were only looking to pass the time, I don’t believe you. I can feel the air of death around you. Yes… how can I put this? Only someone who has experienced walking on the line of death can have this aura,” Qin Yue said.

Ye Qian was a little taken aback. He did not expect Qin Yue to be this sharp. If you were to tell him that it was a woman’s intuition, he wouldn’t believe it. He felt that the only way Qin Yue could pick out his aura was because she was often in contact with people like him. He was now even more curious about Qin Yue’s identity.

They were silent for a while, then Ye Qian said, “Actually, I’m a bodyguard. I was hired by Zhao Ya’s father to go to the school to protect her,” Ye Qian smiled mysteriously then continued, “But that yatou doesn’t know, because I told her that I was her fiance, hehe.”

Qin Yue stared at him blankly, then smiled helplessly and said, “Ya’er that yatou isn’t bad. Although she has the attitude of a rich girl, her heart is in the right place. If you really managed to possess her then it wouldn’t be too bad.”

“You’re some piece of work, pushing your boyfriend to a little girl,” Ye Qian teased.

Qin Yue did not continue bantering with him. She said, “You aren’t a very responsible bodyguard, though. You left Ya’er alone at home right now, aren’t you afraid something will happen to her?”

“Wasn’t this because of my date with you? In my heart, this date was more important than anything else,” Ye Qian said mischievously.
