Chapter 15

"......"

Chu Nan held the key in his hand, stunned for a long time, and finally slowly tightened his collar, reiterating, "Uncle, I told you, I'm not just anyone."

Uncle Zhao squinted his eyes and said nothing. He could tell that this kid, Chu Nan, was quite talkative and didn't bother with his jokes.

Seeing that Uncle Zhao wasn't responding, Chu Nan stopped joking and sighed, "Alright, let's get serious. Is it true that the old man still wants to matchmake me with his spoiled granddaughter? This key, it wouldn't be to her apartment, would it? The old man is pretty open-minded! At his age, he's still keeping up with the trends, supporting cohabitation before marriage. Although I don't like his pushy ways, this is a good point, I'll give him that!"

Uncle Zhao smiled, "The old man wasn't wrong when he said you don't say anything reliable, but I believe that since you were able to guard the old man for three years in the military and only charged a hundred yuan for treatment, this proves that you are a responsible person!"

Hearing this, Chu Nan felt like crying but couldn't. What does it mean to be a responsible person? Did he not want to earn more money? But the family tradition was there, what could Chu Nan do?

"However, I need to remind you, this key is not to the young lady's residence, but to the place next to where they live."

"Next door? — Wait, they? ... My God, there's more than one spoiled young lady? Am I here to attend university or to be a nanny?"

"Don't get the wrong idea, the young lady lives with a close friend, and that friend is not a student. In short, the old man hopes that you can protect the young lady and her close friend without her knowing that you were sent by the old man!"

This was the main point. After saying this, Uncle Zhao truly sighed in relief. Talking to Chu Nan was really exhausting.

"Alright... I understand, the old man wants me to be a bodyguard!" Chu Nan finally understood his role.

Uncle Zhao smiled, "Not exactly. Strictly speaking, you are the old man's chosen son-in-law, and the young lady is your fiancée. Protecting your future wife's safety is your duty as a man, you should take responsibility!"

"But I didn't agree to the marriage!" Chu Nan complained.

"The old man anticipated you would say that, but he said that since the young lady is in university and you are in university, you can't get married for at least four years. Even if you want to get married, the old man won't agree. You can temporarily bear the title of fiancé, known only to you, me, and the old man. This won't affect your life, right? If after four years, you still can't accept the marriage, the old man won't force you."

"..." Chu Nan was silent. It made sense, but why did it make him so uncomfortable?

It felt like he was a secret, unnamed backup.

"No. I disagree." After some thought, Chu Nan shook his head.

Uncle Zhao was surprised, "Why?"

"Because I don't like it!" Chu Nan said firmly.

Uncle Zhao laughed, "The old man said that if you don't agree, he will directly process your withdrawal from the university. — Don't you want to bring glory to our Chinese medicine in the medical academic world? Leaving Jinghua University, with no name, no background, and a black mark of being expelled, you won't be able to easily enter the medical academic circle."

Chu Nan raised an eyebrow, "Damn, that's harsh!"

Uncle Zhao smiled bitterly, "The old man said you are stubborn, you don't want money, you don't want a beautiful woman, you only value family responsibility... Who made you so hard to deal with? The old man didn't want to resort to this..."

"..." After some consideration, Chu Nan sighed heavily, "Alright, but I have a condition."

"What condition?"

"Help me investigate if there is a place called [Hanliu Tang] in the capital."

Uncle Zhao smiled, "Good, dealing with the future Li family son-in-law is a good thing."

However, "Hanliu Tang? Is it a club name, a person's name, or something else?"

Chu Nan replied, "If I knew, I wouldn't need you to investigate."

"..." Uncle Zhao was silent for a moment, then sighed, "Alright, I'll try. But can you tell me why you want to investigate?"

At this moment, Chu Nan suddenly became serious, turned his head, and looked at Uncle Zhao earnestly, "I want to find... something our Chu family lost. Something very important! — Do you and the old man think I came to the capital to study just for the sake of it?"

Seeing Chu Nan's sudden seriousness, Uncle Zhao felt uncomfortable, but... maybe this was Chu Nan's true self?

"Understood, I'll try."

"Another thing, help me investigate a person." Suddenly, Chu Nan put away his serious demeanor and spoke in a teasing tone.

Uncle Zhao paused, "Investigate a person? Who? Tell me."

"Jinghua University, a student named Liu Sanfeng. — Should be easy, right?"

"What? Did he offend you?"

"He offended my friend."

"I see, you're loyal, kid!"

"Less flattery, can you investigate?"

"Of course, but honestly, investigating that mysterious [Hanliu Tang] is fine. But having me investigate a college student's background is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut!" Uncle Zhao wasn't wrong; he had handled big things when he was in the military with the old man.

"The problem is, I don't even have a nail clipper."

"..."

"Don't tell the old man about this. I don't want him to worry about such a small matter." Saying this, Chu Nan prepared to leave the office.

"Wait." Uncle Zhao called him again, "I don't want to search the whole school for you again. Give me your contact information."

"I don't have a phone."

"..." Why don't you buy one?

"Not enough money."

"..." Then, do you have MSN, an email, or QQ? I can send you the information directly.

"What's MSN? QQ? At your age, playing such exciting games, you should be more careful! — Call our dorm phone." Chu Nan took out a pen and wrote on Uncle Zhao's hand without a word.

"That's it, see you later." Chu Nan turned and left.

"Where are you going now?"

"Of course, to check out my new place!" Chu Nan didn't turn back, waving the key.

Seeing Chu Nan like this, Uncle Zhao sighed helplessly. The old man was right, such a unique young man is hard to find these days. But strangely, Chu Nan had a special aura that modern people in society don't have. It was hard to describe, but it made people feel good.

Maybe, this is what people call charisma?

...

Yayun Apartment Complex.

In a beautifully decorated and feminine apartment, laughter echoed from the bathroom.

Two stunningly beautiful women, with skin as smooth as jade, sat face-to-face in a luxurious bathtub, sharing intimate secrets.

"Yuechan, your figure is really perfect... and it feels so soft and elastic..." Li Mengru's mischievous hands reached into the water filled with white foam and boldly caressed Xia Yuechan's proud peaks!
