“Uncle, you know that my brain isn’t working well, so don’t laugh at me.” After Zhou Yang finished playing chess, he felt that his intelligence was about to be drained. He collapsed on the sofa behind him and said gloomily.

“You have to use your brain to win. The business world is like this chess game. There are traps and dangers everywhere. Others won’t give in to you just because you’re young.” Zhou Xuan shook his head gently. Then, he looked at his secretary, who was standing at the side uneasily, and asked curiously, “What is it?”

The secretary said with difficulty, “President Zhou, the six bodyguards you sent to S City to secretly protect Shan Yue have returned with the news. As soon as Miss Shan Yue went out tonight, she tricked them out.”

“Tricked?” Zhou Xuan carefully savored the meaning of this word and was a little puzzled.

“Yes, Miss Shan Yue deliberately hid. Our people thought that she was in danger, but they couldn’t find her after searching for a long time. Miss Shan Yue suddenly appeared and shocked them,” the secretary said bitterly.

“Hahahaha, I didn’t expect Shan Yue to be so interesting. As expected of the person who saved me!” Zhou Yang was immediately amused. He slapped his thigh and laughed.

“A bunch of good-for-nothings.” The corners of Zhou Xuan’s mouth curled up. He had long seen that this little girl, Shan Yue, was very sharp. Zhou Xuan was not surprised that Shan Yue could discover the six bodyguards. Instead, he felt that her actions were quite strange.

“The bodyguards were afraid that Miss Shan Yue would misunderstand, so they quickly explained to Miss Shan Yue that they were from the Zhou family…”

“Then did she ask about me? Did they help me explain that I couldn’t go out because I was locked up by Uncle?” When Zhou Yang heard this, he quickly sat up and interrupted excitedly.

“Uh, no.”

“Then did she say anything about the Zhou family? Tell me everything!” Zhou Yang pursed his lips and asked with hope.

“Yes…” The secretary replied hesitantly. Under Zhou Xuan and Zhou Yang’s puzzled and urging gazes, the secretary made up his mind and decided to recount the bodyguards’ description in detail. “When Miss Shan Yue heard this, she mocked them in disdain. She even said that no wonder the Zhou family was so stingy. It turns out that they spent all their money on hiring bodyguards.”

Swallowing his saliva, the secretary said, “Under Miss Shan Yue’s interrogation, the bodyguards told her that there might be a.s.sa.s.sins looking for trouble with her. In the end, Miss Shan Yue even said ruthlessly that even if President Zhou was caught by the a.s.sa.s.sins, she wouldn’t be caught. She even told President Zhou not to worry and to call them back.”

At this moment, Zhou Xuan, who had been implicated one after another, asked innocently, “Stingy? Why would she say that?” Suddenly remembering something, Zhou Xuan looked at Zhou Yang and asked, “How much grat.i.tude did you give her last time?”

“One million…” Zhou Yang weakly extended a finger. At that time, he was completely considering it from the perspective of a high school student from a poor family. He was worried that Shan Yue would be afraid if he gave too much money, so he gave her a million yuan!

Unexpectedly, Shan Yue actually felt that the Zhou family was stingy because of this. She thought that the Zhou family’s money had been spent on other strange places, so they only gave her a little. It was really too unfair!

Hearing that it was only a million yuan, Zhou Xuan immediately revealed a helpless and disdainful expression, as if he was saying to Zhou Yang, “Your life is only worth a million yuan?”

Since Zhou Yang had only given her a million yuan, the little girl’s disdain and mockery were understandable. After all, their Zhou family had treated her badly. Zhou Xuan asked again, “She told the bodyguards to go back? Then they’re really back?”

Whether Shan Yue needed bodyguards was one thing, but whether their Zhou family had such an att.i.tude and did not fulfill their responsibilities was another. If those guys were really sent back by Shan Yue, he would have to clean up this pile of good-for-nothings.

Zhou Yang added, “That’s right. No matter how powerful Shan Yue is, she’s still a little girl. When that group of killers comes, she can’t stop them alone! Someone still has to protect her!”

The secretary was stunned and quickly denied it. “No. Although Miss Shan Yue’s att.i.tude was very tough, the bodyguards told her that this was a mission given to them by the boss and they had to complete it. Miss Shan Yue was convinced and agreed to let them stay.”

“Eh? Why did she agree?” Zhou Yang was interested. He knew that Shan Yue was definitely not a soft-hearted person and asked.

“Miss Shan Yue said that since they’re not going to go back, they can help her carry things and run errands.”
