Although she appeared to look weak and delicate, Jian Yiling was confident and determined when she spoke.
She liked to get things done by herself.
Zhai Yunsheng, who was sitting on the couch, started to frown.
However, he didnât question Jian Yiling about the matter. Instead, he asked one of his bodyguards to come over to him. He whispered a few words to him and then the bodyguard left.
Not long after, the bodyguard returned. He reported the results of the investigation to Zhai Yunsheng.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Then, Zhai Yunsheng got up. He walked over to Jian Yiling and looked at the little rabbit who wore a white and fluffy coat. He directly recounted the incident to Jian Yiling.
âYour desk-mate Hu Jiaojiao just got hospitalized. The reason for the hospitalization is because she got harassed by a bunch of thugs. However, she isnât suffering any major injuries.â
As Hu Jiaojiao hadnât suffered any major injuries, the three thugs had only gotten fined and sentenced to 15 days of detainment.
However, Zhai Yunsheng knew that Jian Yiling planned to do something more.
Zhai Yunsheng smiled. His lips curled up in an evil way, âWhat about this? Iâll make a deal with you. If you do me a favor, Iâll help you with this. This is fair and impartial. Itâs mutually beneficial and we wonât owe each other anything.â
Jian Yiling raised her head and looked up at Zhai Yunsheng. She saw that he was holding back his laughter. His eyes looked sharp and perceptive.
Zhai Yunsheng added, âEither way if you pay someone to do this, you will get the same outcome. And thus, itâs better for you to make this deal with me. Iâm more useful than the average person.â
What Zhai Yunsheng said made sense. In both cases, she had to find someone to do this.
In theory, it was the same.
And in fact, Zhai Yunsheng was much more useful than an average person.
âWhatâs the trade?â Jian Yiling asked.
Zhai Yunsheng pointed at his gauze-wrapped arm. âTreat my arm. Make sure that it wonât leave a scar. Donât let it become ugly.â
âBut, I already...â
Zhai Yunsheng interrupted Jian Yilingâs words, âYou already? You already planned to do that? You planned to make sure that it wouldnât scar? Iâm just like you. I donât like to owe people anything. So technically, itâs not a small matter to me either. In terms of a trade, I think itâs fair.â
Strictly speaking, this was true. Jian Yilingâs scar removal cream hadnât yet been released to the public.
And thus, it was not impractical to have such a deal.
The expression on her small face was serious.
Zhai Yunsheng looked at Jian Yiling who was deep in thought.
After a while, Jian Yiling nodded and agreed to Zhai Yunshengâs offer.
âOkay.â
Then, Zhai Yunsheng turned his head and looked at Yu Xi, âHe will be your supporting character. He will follow you around and help you out if you need it.â
Yu Xi had question marks appear on his face.
He hadnât even said anything about this yet!
Since when did Master Sheng arrange this?
Why is he following Jian Yiling around? Why does this sound like heâs a lackey?
After a moment, Yu Xi conceded with his thoughts. This is fine. Itâs not the first time that heâs done such a thing! Heâs gotten used to it already.
When they played âZerg Invasionâ, he had also been the supporting character.
Yu Xi cleared his mind before he said, âYep, thatâs me. Iâll support you.â
Then, Yu Xi turned around and asked Zhai Yunsheng, âMaster Sheng, what do you want me to do?â
âGo home and sleep. We will talk about this tomorrow morning.â
It was already nine oâclock. They could discuss matters tomorrow morning. For now, sleep was more important.
Then, Zhai Yunsheng turned around to speak to Jian Yiling again. His tone was serious as he said, âDonât be a rabbit and have red eyes. Go and sleep. Deal with everything else in the morning. Leave this to me.â
Although Zhai Yunshengâs appearance made him seem like a hedonistic person, the words he said were still quite respectable. The words made it sound like someone could place their trust in him.
âOkay.â
Jian Yiling agreed to him. She knew that she should go to sleep. If she didnât, it would negatively impact her performance in the operation tomorrow.
However, Jian Yiling was not sure whether or not the matter today could be dealt with by tomorrow morning. She didnât know whether or not it would impact the surgery tomorrow afternoon.
