The next morning, in the Zhou Residence in the central city of the Federation.

“She was targeted by those people because she saved me. I have to protect her!” Zhou Yang was stopped by a group of bodyguards. He could not struggle and shouted indignantly.

“Young Master, don’t be anxious. President Zhou has already sent two bodyguards to protect that girl last night.” The butler persuaded him earnestly.

Early in the morning, someone told Zhou Yang that the group of people who had chased after him last time had escaped back to S City. Zhou Yang made a fuss and insisted on rushing to S City to protect the girl who had saved his life, saying that he wanted to repay the kindness.

However, it had not been long since Zhou Yang’s accident. He had yet to recover from his injuries. If he were to go to S City in this condition, Zhou Xuan would definitely lose his temper at Zhou Yang again once he found out. Hence, the butler could only stop him on tenterhooks.

“How can two people be enough? Besides, I can walk now. Of course I have to thank her in person! Get lost, all of you. Who gave you the guts to stop me?” Zhou Yang was even more anxious, but the bodyguards surrounded him and he could not leave at all.

“Young Master, lower your voice. President Zhou is still resting…” The butler wiped the sweat off his forehead and said nervously.

“I gave them the guts!” An unhappy shout immediately frightened the group of people so much that they froze on the spot, especially Zhou Yang. He was so frightened by Zhou Xuan’s shout that he had goosebumps all over his body.

“Uncle, that’s not what I meant. Let me explain…” As soon as Zhou Xuan appeared, Zhou Yang immediately became a docile little sheep, no longer shouting.

“What are you trying to do by making a fuss at the door so early in the morning?” Zhou Xuan glanced at him indifferently and said coldly.

The last time Zhou Yang ran out, he was kidnapped and almost lost his life, so Zhou Xuan ordered that Zhou Yang was forbidden to run out before he recovered. He had to stay at home and recuperate. But when this kid heard that the girl called Shan Yue was in danger, he was in a hurry to run out. Could it be that he wanted to rebel?

Zhou Yang choked and did not dare to be rash in front of Zhou Xuan. He explained honestly, “Uncle, no matter how smart Shan Yue is, she’s only an ordinary high school student. She doesn’t have the ability to protect herself. If she’s harmed by those killers because she saved me, I’ll feel guilty for the rest of my life. Therefore, I have to take a look personally and confirm her safety before I can be at ease.”

Zhou Xuan pondered for a moment and understood Zhou Yang’s mood. His expression softened and he said, “The doctor has instructed you that if you don’t want to have any sequelae in the future, you have to stay at home and recuperate. Don’t you remember?”

“But—” Zhou Yang wanted to say something but hesitated. He wanted to struggle again.

“There’s no need to say anything else. If you’re really worried about her, I’ll go in your place. After all, I’m your biological uncle.” Zhou Xuan waved his hand, indicating for the butler to bring Zhou Yang back to his room to rest.

“Ah, then, Uncle, I’ll leave it to you!” Seeing that there was no other way, Zhou Yang could only give in. Before he left, he did not forget to give Zhou Xuan a serious look.

After getting into the car, Zhou Xuan looked down at his watch and sat up straight. After the morning meeting, Zhou Xuan happened to be free to make a trip to S City. He was quite curious about Shan Yue, the high school girl who had saved Zhou Yang from a group of killers and convinced him.

“Knock knock knock—” Shan Xing raised her hand and knocked on Shan Yue’s door. Seeing that there was no response in the room, she bit her lip and mustered her courage to knock again.

“Uh, Shan Yue, are you sleeping? I’m here to bring you breakfast.” Shan Xing held a tray in one hand. On the tray was a bowl of soy milk and fried dough sticks buns. She had specially bought them from outside to please Shan Yue.

After her and Sun Ling’s observation of Shan Yue during this period of time, they determined that Shan Yue must have mastered some way to earn money by chance, or she had good luck and won a big prize. She had so much money that it was as if she could not spend it all.

They could only watch helplessly as Shan Yue bought all kinds of things for Shan Chen and Shan An, but there was no share for the two of them. They were jealous and envious, so Sun Ling instructed her to come over and build a good relationship with Shan Yue so that they could obtain benefits from her. At the same time, they could investigate the secret of Shan Yue earning money.
