Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five.

Those blinded men were infatuated with Xia He, obsessed with Xia He, and would bang their heads against a wall for her...

So, to save his own life, when Xia He came to him, he severed all ties with her and even explicitly told her that "A-Zhou is dead."

He spoke quickly, and the last sentence, "You picked this idol!" slipped out without thinking.

Perhaps it was those words that made Xia He give up, or perhaps it was something else, but Xia He really never looked for him again... until today when they met by chance.

"I'm sorry... but I never expected that you would... would also become... an Outcast."

Xia He sighed, and a rare look of irony appeared in her eyes as she looked at Zhou Fengliu.

She remembered the last time she saw Zhou Fengliu; he was just an ordinary person then. His words, "Please, don't come looking for me anymore, that's the greatest respect you can give me," jolted her awake from a dream, making her realize just how much her innate charm had tormented Zhou Fengliu...

To protect Zhou Fengliu and to give that relationship a final moment of dignity, she never contacted him again after that.

She sealed this past love deep in her heart. Completely disillusioned with the world, she gradually accepted her humble identity.

She understood that her terrible abilities made her unworthy of genuine love, and she could never become the woman in Zhou Fengliu's ideal city.

then...

She began to recklessly embrace her abilities, joining the Quanxing... causing countless so-called "reputable" sects in the world of supernatural beings to bang their heads against the wall for her...

But she never expected...

Zhou Fengliu was also drawn into this complex and dangerous world of supernatural beings.

Seeing Xia He's extremely guilty expression, Zhou Fengliu felt a chill run down his spine and quickly took two steps back.

"Don't pull this... I have absolutely nothing to do with you, hey kid! I'm talking to you!"

Zhou Fengliu was speaking when he saw Lü Liang about to make a move on Zhang Chulan again. He decisively swung his right hand and swung down with his short straight blade, activating his skill of catching a blade bare-handed.

"Eh?"

This time, Lü Liang did not come.

Beneath his blade lies... Zhang Chulan?

Although Zhang Chulan was bound hand and foot and his hands were tied, he still appeared in front of Zhou Fengliu in a half-kneeling position.

"Holy crap... what kind of secret manual is this?" Lu Liang pushed up his glasses and said in shock.

This time he saw it clearly.

Zhang Chulan vanished from his spot in a flash, then reappeared in a flash before the man who seemed to have a scandal with Xia He, right under his blade...

It feels like... space travel!

What happened?

Zhang Chulan, the person involved, was completely bewildered. He looked around helplessly, then looked up and saw the blade in the hand of the man who had said he would protect him. He swallowed hard, wondering what Zhou Fengliu meant by this move.

Is this what they mean by... the quickest way to deal with kidnappers is to kill the hostage first?

What kind of Russian-style rescue is this?

"Brother...please look carefully, swords have no eyes!" Zhang Chulan said.

"Don't worry..." Zhou Fengliu said, indicating that Zhang Chulan was now receiving his full salary, and he would definitely make sure to protect it.

"Ah Zhou...please don't stop me from doing this, okay?" Xia He looked at Zhou Fengliu in front of her. As the white moonlight in her heart, she really didn't want to make a move against Zhou Fengliu.

"First, I am not Ah Zhou, Ah Zhou is dead. Second, I will protect this person today... Even Jesus couldn't stop him, let alone you heretics."

Zhou Fengliu lifted Zhang Chulan up with one hand and placed him at his feet. His calm and composed expression gave Zhang Chulan a sense of peace.

"The Quanxing... demon."

When Xia He heard Zhou Fengliu use those four words to describe her, the disappointment on her face seemed to overflow. She stared into Zhou Fengliu's eyes, as if trying to see other emotional changes through those calm eyes.

“I will come to find you... Ah Zhou, whether I am a demon of the Quanxing Sect or not... I am still Xia He, and I respect you.”

Xia He called out to Lü Liang, who was standing to the side.

"let's go."

"Huh?" Lu Liang, who had been called out, looked completely bewildered: "We're just leaving like this?"

"What else can we do? If we don't leave now... we won't be able to leave at all." Xia He said, as if she had foreseen something.

really.

As soon as she finished speaking, a man in a black suit and glasses slowly walked over from a distance. Beside him, a girl with long, straight black hair wearing a dark dress stood with her hands in her pockets.

"Good heavens... Xu Laosan, Feng Baobao?" Lu Liang sensed something was wrong when he saw the two men's expressions change drastically.

Zhang Chulan seemed to recognize the girl with long, straight black hair. After wriggling on the ground a couple of times, he shouted to the girl in the distance, "Sister Bao'er, help! Sister Bao'er!"

Chapter 5 Today is a really good day!

“Lu Liang, a new member of Quanxing... Xia He, the bone-scraping knife, and that woman…” Xu San pushed up his glasses and saw Zhang Chulan at Zhou Fengliu’s feet.

"?"

“Fengliu... what are you doing here?” Xu San raised an eyebrow slightly when he saw Zhou Fengliu.

"Fourth Brother asked me to come and see..." Zhou Fengliu saw Xu Si and Feng Baobao arrive, so he picked up Zhang Chulan and walked over.

"Third Brother, check the goods. Is this college student unharmed?"

No sooner had Zhou Fengliu finished speaking than Lü Liang hurriedly got into the car. He glanced at Liu Yanyan, who had just joined them, and urged, "Give me the keys... let's get out of here!"

"Ah good."

The white minivan started up, and with Lü Liang slamming on the gas, it sped away in a flash.

"This speed... is comparable to carrying a train while running..." Zhou Fengliu said as he put the short straight blades into his backpack. As the Qi attached to the blades dissipated, the blades of the two short straight blades shattered into countless fragments.

"Xu San, am I leaving now?" Xia He, on the other side, didn't run away in such a panic as Lü Liang. She sat calmly on the motorcycle next to her, glanced at Xu San, and said.

"You..." Upon hearing this, Xu San didn't waste any more energy on Xia He: "You'll get what's coming to you sooner or later... like being shrewdly punished."

Hearing Xu San's blatant threat, Xia He didn't take it to heart. She just clicked her tongue twice, then started her motorcycle. Before leaving, she paused for a second, glancing at Zhou Fengliu, who had just put on his backpack, not far away, before departing.

Seeing that Xia He and Lü Liang had run away, Zhou Fengliu did not do anything to stop them, after all, his mission tonight was to ensure Zhang Chulan's safety.

By protecting Zhang Chulan, we can secure the extra 500 yuan he'll receive each month...

Five hundred a month... six thousand in twelve months.

The thought that this number would allow him to go for foot massages a few more times made Zhou Fengliu even happier.

Ok.

That extra shift tonight was worth it...

"We just let them get away like that?"

As Zhou Fengliu pondered how to use the extra salary, Zhang Chulan, who was standing beside him, asked.

He said tonight was so exciting, so exciting that he almost lost his life.

"Don't worry...our colleagues will stop them."

Xu San looked like he had everything under control. Although they couldn't stop Xia He, who had special abilities and was very troublesome, stopping the mission target should be easy.

"Oh..." Zhang Chulan had just breathed a sigh of relief when Feng Baobao, who was next to Xu San, walked up and looked down at him expressionlessly:

"I remember... I told you to wait for my call tonight, right?"

Feng Baobao questioned Zhang Chulan in a Sichuan accent, and her pale, sinister face only made Zhang Chulan lose his composure.

"I'm sorry... Sister Bao'er, I..." He tried to argue, but before he could come up with an excuse, he saw a kitchen knife slip out of Feng Baobao's sleeve.

Feng Baobao gripped the knife handle with her other hand, looking as if she was about to kill him.

"Sister Bao'er...be rational, Sister Bao'er...Master, Master, I was wrong..."

"?"

When Zhang Chulan called Feng Baobao "master" in his panic, Zhou Fengliu raised an eyebrow and his eyes fell on Feng Baobao and Zhang Chulan.

Um...

They've trained her so well.

He shook his head, then stopped paying attention to Zhang Chulan. He turned to Xu San and said, "Third Brother, I'm leaving now."

"Ah? Ah, okay, thank you for your hard work tonight." Xu San nodded.

...

"Zhang Chulan."

Before leaving, Zhou Fengliu thought for a moment, then took out his phone and called out to Zhang Chulan.

"What?" Zhang Chulan heard someone call his name and subconsciously turned his head. Immediately afterward, Zhou Fengliu took a picture of him with his mobile phone.

"Okay, it's fine, you guys continue." Zhou Fengliu glanced at the photos in the album, then turned around and sent them to Xu Si.

"Sister Bao'er, I'm leaving now."

"Oh." Feng Baobao put down her work upon hearing this, glanced at Zhou Fengliu, and nodded blankly: "Aren't you coming back with us?"

"No, I have to go home...you guys chat."
