Chapter 8

"Zhang Bing, have you found out about this guy yet?"

Recognizing the figure in front, it was indeed the young man who had lunch with Wang Qingqing at noon. Jin Shao’s expression immediately turned sour. He turned his head and coldly looked at the young man beside him. Because of this guy’s appearance, he had been in a bad mood all afternoon, especially when he went to class in the afternoon and found that Wang Qingqing, who had always been obedient, didn’t show up. Just thinking about the possibility that she spent the afternoon with this guy made him feel as if he had a fish bone stuck in his throat.

"Not yet. I’ve already asked Zhang Qin to talk to Wang Qingqing, but she hasn’t seen her yet. Don’t worry, Young Master Jin, we will definitely find out. However, I think this guy is probably Wang Qingqing’s ex-boyfriend or something. From his appearance, he’s just a poor boy from the countryside, possibly even worse off than Wang Qingqing. We can just go and warn him to stay away, and it will be fine. There’s no need for you to be angry."

Seeing that Young Master Jin’s tone was not friendly, Zhang Bing quickly tried to comfort him.

"Young Master Jin, is there some blind guy trying to steal your girl? Should I give him a lesson?"

The driver, hearing the conversation in the back seat, understood the situation and immediately offered to help.

"Sure, Brother Zhao, go warn that guy. See him there? The one in the white T-shirt and gray jeans, carrying a silly-looking beggar’s bag. See him?"

Before Young Master Jin could speak, Zhang Bing, with a delighted look, said, "Give him a lesson and tell him not to touch what he shouldn’t!"

Zhang Bing, who was always by Young Master Jin’s side, knew the driver’s name was Zhao Yongcai. Besides being a driver, he also served as Young Master Jin’s bodyguard and enforcer, specially arranged by Mr. Jin. Zhang Bing had seen his skills before; in high school, a muscular sports student who tried to steal a girl from Young Master Jin was taken down with just a few punches.

Young Master Jin, with a dark look, watched Xiao Yi’s figure in front, not stopping Zhang Bing’s suggestion. He felt that Zhang Bing was right; from the guy’s clothes, which looked like they were bought from a street stall and wouldn’t cost more than 200 yuan, he was probably just a nobody.

"Rest assured, Young Master Jin, I’ll make sure this guy remembers it well."

The driver slowly parked the car in a no-parking zone not far ahead, causing the students riding bicycles to become furious, especially those who almost collided with the Audi. However, when they saw it was a silver-black Audi, they swallowed their anger, stopped their bikes, and carefully went around it.

Xiao Yi also saw the Audi that had suddenly and rudely stopped. His eyebrows furrowed slightly.

The no-parking sign was so obvious, and it was a bicycle lane during the peak time after school. So many students were riding bicycles there, and the Audi just parked there, which was extremely unreasonable. A slight mistake could lead to a collision with a student.

However, in just a moment, Xiao Yi continued walking forward calmly.

Although he found the Audi’s behavior annoying, he didn’t have the spirit of Lei Feng or the noble sense of justice like Superman or Ultraman. Generally, as long as it didn’t affect him or make him feel sick, he wouldn’t bother with it.

Simpler is better, and fewer problems are better. This was one of Xiao Yi’s principles.

But he didn’t expect that, despite his desire to avoid trouble, trouble found him.

He had only taken a few steps when he saw a man with a sturdy build, slightly dark skin, and a buzz cut get out of the Audi and walk straight toward him. At first, he thought the man was just heading in the same direction and had nothing to do with him, so he continued walking. But after a few more steps, he realized the man was walking directly toward him and shouted, "Kid, stop!"

Xiao Yi stopped, looking at the buzz-cut man with some confusion but not saying a word.

"Kid!"

This buzz-cut man was undoubtedly Jin Shao’s driver, Zhao Yongcai. Seeing that Xiao Yi had obediently stopped, he felt very pleased.

"What’s up?"

Xiao Yi looked at the buzz-cut man strangely. From his expression, it seemed he had come with bad intentions and wasn’t sent by Chen Jianguo. But he didn’t recognize this buzz-cut man. Although he didn’t claim to have an extraordinary memory, he wouldn’t forget someone he had met and interacted with.

"Kid, you’ve got some nerve, trying to steal a girl that Young Master Jin has his eye on!"

Zhao Yongcai walked up close and sized up Xiao Yi, a look of disdain flashing in his eyes. This kid was as thin as a bamboo stick, looking weak and frail, clearly not able to withstand a single punch. His tone became less polite.

"What do you mean? What Young Master Jin?"

Xiao Yi was even more confused. When had he ever tried to steal a girl? And what was this nonsense about Young Master Jin? He had never even heard of him.

"Very good, stop pretending in front of me. Are you scared now?"

Zhao Yongcai thought Xiao Yi was pretending to be confused because he was afraid to admit it. He felt even more pleased, and his gaze became more mocking and disdainful.

"I don’t know what nonsense you’re talking about, and I haven’t tried to steal any girl. Please move out of my way."

Xiao Yi thought for a moment but couldn’t figure out what was going on. He guessed that this Young Master Jin had misunderstood something, but he didn’t have the patience to figure out how. He definitely hadn’t tried to steal any girl, so he didn’t want to waste time talking to Zhao Yongcai and waved his hand impatiently.

"Kid, what attitude is this?"

Zhao Yongcai was taken aback, then his chest burned with anger. He pointed at Xiao Yi with a fierce look.

"Don’t point at me with your finger. I hate two things: being pointed at with a gun and being pointed at with a finger. I’ll count to three, and you’d better disappear from in front of me."

Xiao Yi rudely swept away his finger and said calmly.

"You... you... I’ll f**k your B!"

Zhao Yongcai was enraged by Xiao Yi’s arrogant attitude. Since he had joined the Jin family, no one had ever spoken to him like that, let alone dared to touch him. After a few more attempts, he couldn’t hold back anymore. He roared and raised his fist, aiming a fierce punch at Xiao Yi’s face.
