With a click, the assistant and driver beside Zhou Xuan took a photo of the siblings’ backs and sent it to Zhou Yang, who was being forced to recuperate in the Zhou Residence. At the same time, he muttered, “The thin and tall boy beside her is quite handsome. Is he her little boyfriend?”
Zhou Xuan turned his head slightly and did not reply. Instead, he stared silently at Shan Yue’s back.
Ever since he received the news that the killers had arrived in S City yesterday, he had urgently sent two powerful bodyguards to protect her. However, when the bodyguards arrived in S City, the reply was that the killers had indeed appeared near Shan Yue’s house last night, but after that, they had all disappeared.
Shan Yue, who was surrounded by danger, was safe and sound. The next day, she seemed to be in a good mood, as if she had not encountered any danger.
“It’s also possible that it’s her younger brother. Her appearance is so bad, but her younger brother is quite good-looking. This family is really strange,” the assistant muttered again.
Suddenly, Zhou Xuan chuckled, causing the assistant to stiffen. He thought that he had said something he shouldn’t have, and a chill ran down his spine.
Subconsciously following Zhou Xuan’s gaze, the assistant realized that the fat girl, Shan Yue, had just glanced suspiciously in this direction. After staring at the car they were in for a few seconds, she turned her head back.
“Little girl, you’re quite sharp,” Zhou Xuan said calmly after laughing.
“Uh…” The assistant did not dare to continue. What did the boss’s laughter mean?
“Sister, what are you looking at?” Shan Chen noticed that Shan Yue suddenly looked back, but when he looked back, there was nothing.
“It’s fine. I might have seen it wrongly.” Shan Yue turned around and shook her head gently.
With the sharp senses of an assassin, Shan Yue sensed a hot and probing gaze staring at her. She looked back, but she could only see a black car in the distance. The other party had covered the window glass with anti-phosphorescence film, so she could not see who was in the car.
This person should be coming for her. She could feel that he had no ill intentions. Could it be someone from the Zhou family?
Shan Yue was very confident that the Zhou family could not find any information on her current identity. After thinking for a moment, she forgot about the small episode and returned home to focus on teaching Shan Chen programming.
Seeing that Zhou Xuan had no intention of leaving after Shan Yue left, the assistant did not even dare to breathe loudly. He could only accompany Zhou Xuan in the car to think.
Suddenly, the notification sounded. The assistant picked up his phone and looked at it. His expression immediately changed. “Boss, I just received news that the H Mercenary Group has also been active in S City recently.”
“Huh? Aren’t those guys only targeting the Federation? Why are they in S City?” Zhou Xuan frowned slightly and said in a low voice.
“I don’t know… Their trajectory is also nearby. Could they be targeting those killers? No, that shouldn’t be the case!” The assistant was very puzzled.
Turning the watch on his wrist, Zhou Xuan subconsciously looked in the direction of Shan Yue’s house. The recent abnormalities seemed to be related to that little girl. Based on the reaction speed of Shan Yue sensing his gaze just now, Zhou Xuan felt that she was definitely not as simple as she looked.
However, he could not find anything wrong with Shan Yue’s information. Her biggest change recently was that she had started to lose weight and had lost a lot of weight. It seemed that this little girl who had saved Zhou Yang had many secrets. Could it be that even her act of saving Zhou Yang was deliberately done?
Zhou Xuan tapped his fingers on the leather armrest and said in a low voice, “Send four more bodyguards to secretly protect her until we find traces of those killers.”
“Understood!” The assistant quickly replied. After a moment of hesitation, he asked, “Young Master said that he wants to thank her again. Boss, should we…”
“No need.” Zhou Xuan shook his head. At most, he would help Zhou Yang clean up the mess. It was better for Zhou Yang to thank his savior himself. He just had to do his job as an uncle.
However, in the end, the danger around Shan Yue was caused by the Zhou family. Zhou Xuan pondered for a moment and instructed, “Call the mayor of S City again and ask him to take care of the Shan family.”
