What else can I say? Forget it. I can understand Yue Qing's feelings right now. She used to idolize the Heroic Figure, but suddenly he turned into a super pervert who tormented her. I get why she doesn't want to see anyone.
After taking a break, I first drove to the hospital to get my wounds bandaged, then went to the mall to replace my dirty, tattered pants. On the way, I also bought her some clothes and a phone, and then drove back.
Today has really been tough on my legs.
Here you go—clothes, money, and a phone! I've already registered Alipay for you, and there’s a hundred thousand in your account. You can order takeout if you want.
When I returned, Yue Qing was still sitting on the bed wrapped in a sheet, lost in thought. I placed everything on her bed and thought about how convenient this era is; as long as you have a phone, you won't starve.
I left her with a hundred thousand in Alipay and another hundred thousand in cash. That should be enough for her for a while.
After leaving Yue Qing's house, I called Fang Ying to let her know that everything was taken care of. She told me she already heard from Du Tao.
What did he say about me?
I asked Fang Ying. I knew this would make Du Tao even more displeased, but I had the backing of Qing Gang Leader. Although I was doing things secretly for Qu Youyang, if Du Tao wanted to make a move against me, Qu Youyang wouldn’t just sit back and watch.
She said that I'm not someone easy to control.
Fang Ying laughed lightly, and I chuckled in response. What does that mean? It means that if your superior thinks you're hard to manage, congratulations—you’re not far from trouble.
You didn’t speak up for me?
I asked.
Fang Ying replied directly: I told him I feel the same way.
What?
I was taken aback. I thought that since Du Tao was unhappy with me, Fang Ying would defend me. But I didn’t expect her to say that; it seemed like she wanted Du Tao to take me down!
You’re not trying to use Du Tao to get rid of me, are you? That’s not very sisterly!
I said in disbelief. Fang Ying clicked her tongue in annoyance and said: Stop talking nonsense! Who's your sister? Why would I want to get rid of you? I just want to tell you one thing: in Qing Gang, you need to align with the right faction if you want to survive long-term. Right now, you're part of the Qu Da faction. I've fought for another opportunity for you; Qu Yue will continue observing you. Just perform well, and I guarantee you'll live a long life!
Then just let me die!
I said bluntly before hanging up the phone.
Damn it! What is all this about?
I just wanted to ask if they could be any more unreasonable! Am I just here for them to take advantage of because of my good looks and carefree attitude? Please don’t treat me like this!
After hanging up, Fang Ying didn’t call back. At this point, we were pretty familiar with each other. From her tone, I could tell she was just trying to scare me.
But she did want me to understand the current situation; she was merely using this as an excuse to remind me that the young lady from the Qu Family would be keeping an eye on me again and wanted me to do my best.
But I really didn’t want to perform; that’s not what I wanted—I refuse!
As a week passed by quickly, during this time, I chatted with Linna, and our playful banter made life quite comfortable.
On the other hand, Fang Ying had been more subdued. Maybe my last hang-up made her realize my determination.
As for Yue Qing, she was even quieter than Fang Ying. For an entire week, she hadn’t reached out to me once, and I hadn’t gone to see her either. After all, Yue Qing is a killer; she's strong enough that there's no need for me to run around trying to comfort her.
But deep down, I knew this wouldn’t be so simple—Fang Ying would definitely go find Yue Qing.
A few days later, Fang Ying called me to ask how Yue Qing had been doing lately and if she was feeling any better. I couldn't help but smile at her concern.
But why did Fang Ying decide to rescue Yue Qing just a week ago? It was simply to make Yue Qing suffer a bit at Du Tao's place, hoping that she would give up on him. This way, Fang Ying could use her more easily.
"That's enough," I replied, giving her the address. "Fang Zhu Master, I've gone out of my way to get her out for you. Can you just take her when you feel it's time?"
"What are you talking about? She's the one you wanted out; why should I take her?" After saying this, Fang Ying hung up the phone.
I sighed in resignation. If she wasn't going to take her, then why leave her with me?
During this time, I wondered if Fang Ying knew that my girlfriend was quite jealous and was trying to break us up. Although I could explain things to Linna and she might understand, as the saying goes, it's not the thief you fear but the one who keeps thinking about it. What if they tried something else?
Damn, how ironic! Back when I was hustling in real estate in Kyoto, good women wouldn't even spare me a glance. But now? They were interested in me, yet it came with a heap of trouble; it felt like I couldn't touch anyone.
Fang Ying spent two days chatting with Yue Qing, staying over at her place before finally bringing her to my place in He Bei Zong Duo.
"Xiang Dong, from now on, Yue Qing will be your personal bodyguard. Remember, this is an order from above. If you try to get rid of her, she will kill you," Fang Ying said with a bright smile on her face.
I was taken aback! A personal bodyguard? How close would that be? When Yue Qing was my bodyguard, she followed me even to the bathroom!
"Fang Zhu Master, isn't this joke a bit too much? Are you trying to get me killed?" I looked at Fang Ying in disbelief. After spending so much time with her, I had come to understand that she always maintained a cold demeanor with outsiders. But when it came to friends, she had a mischievous side that could be quite infuriating.
Of course, until now, I only knew that Fang Ying considered me a friend. I still wasn't sure whether to feel honored or unfortunate about it.
"Hey, don't say that; I can't help it," Fang Ying shrugged nonchalantly.
I really wanted to strangle her. Even though she was beautiful, that didn't mean she could escape unscathed!
"Tell me, is this your idea or Qu Da's? Didn't Qu Da look down on me last time? Why is he meddling again and again? Can't I just live normally?" I said exasperatedly.
Fang Ying chuckled lightly at my frustration. "Come on now! You call it meddling; you're just afraid of your girlfriend! No worries; I'll consider this a compliment for you."
I couldn't believe it—I didn't think she was complimenting me at all!
"Is this something you mean, or is it what Qu Da means?" I continued to squint and ask Fang Ying. How busy could Qu Da be? After seeing me once, how could he possibly take an interest in me just because of a few words from Fang Ying?
I felt like this was all Fang Ying's doing!
"You don’t need to worry about that. It’s just how things are. You have to agree, whether you want to or not. Yue Qing won’t go easy on you!" Fang Ying threatened.
Damn it!
I glanced at Yue Qing, who was staring out the window with a blank expression, seemingly indifferent.
Damn! I saved her!
I knew she was just a troublemaker I had saved!
"Master Fang Zhu, I think we need to talk about this. Your way of handling things is really disappointing," I quickly said to Fang Ying.
First of all, I understood what it meant for Yue Qing to be under close protection; she would definitely come home with me and live with me and Linna!
Not to mention whether Linna would be okay with it or not, just the fact that Linna's identity couldn’t be exposed was a problem! Yue Qing is Fang Ying's person; what if she recognizes Linna? What then?
What then!
So if that were the case, I would have to send Linna away. But wouldn’t Linna be furious? She’s my legitimate girlfriend, yet she would have to make space for Yue Qing?
Would she even come back?
"Stop dragging this out; I have things to do. This matter is settled," Fang Ying said as she turned to leave.
Damn it, I suddenly felt anxious!
She’s turning against me!
"Fang Ying! Are you trying to harm me on purpose? This isn’t something Qing Gang Leader asked you to do, right? Or do you have a crush on me? If you do, just say it openly! I’d consider it!" I shouted in frustration, my face flushed with anger.
Yue Qing looked over at me with a stare as if she were looking at an alien.
Fang Ying paused in her steps; it was a heavy moment before she slowly turned her head back toward me.
