The Elite Assassin Becomes a Flat and Ugly Nerd!

176 Open Your Eyes Wide

“So, my answer is…” Zhang Huang stared at Zhou Xuan with a burning gaze. “Fight for it. Young people have to dare to fight and not have any worries. Moreover, once you win this project, not to mention the considerable benefits in the future, just the Zhou family’s reputation would spread to Las Vegas and even the surrounding areas. This is something that can’t be measured with money.”

“I understand, Elder Zhang. Thank you for all these years.” As Zhou Xuan spoke, his eyes became even sharper, and his cold face became more determined.

The two of them were talking when Shan Yue’s shout broke their communication.

“Mr. Zhou, can I trouble you to send me away?” Shan Yue’s voice sounded outside. “I haven’t been home for two days. My family should be worried.”

Zhou Xuan’s hand kept knocking on the table. His bones were well-defined, and his slender fingers made women envious. He had probably guessed why Shan Yue took the initiative to ask him to send her away. Since he had already gotten the answer he wanted by coming here today, he agreed. “Alright, wait for me for a while.”

Then, he got up and bade farewell to Elder Zhang before getting into the car with Shan Yue. However, just as the car drove not far from the Zhang family’s house, Shan Yue suddenly stopped it. “Please stop the car. I’ll get out of here and go back myself.”

Although Zhou Xuan knew Shan Yue’s little trick in his heart, she was just looking for an excuse to leave the Zhang family, her slightly cold tone still made his face instantly darken.

Looking at Shan Yue get out of the car and close the car door behind her, Zhou Xuan opened half of the car window, half of his face visible under the car window. “Miss Shan, when you find a boyfriend, you have to open your eyes wide. You can’t be fooled by what you see on the surface. There aren’t many good people nowadays.”

Shan Yue’s expression did not change when she heard this. There was a hint of arrogance between her eyebrows. She leaned her face into the car window. “Young Master Zhou, are you referring to Zhang Luo?”

“I’m not referring to anyone.” Of course, that was not what Zhou Xuan meant. The dark color of the car outlined the outline of his face, making it especially clear. “I’m just reminding you out of kindness. After all, I am an acquaintance of Miss Shan. In addition, you’re a young lady, so I did something unnecessary.”

“Then I really have to thank Mr. Zhou.” Shan Yue raised her eyebrows and smiled ambiguously. “However, in terms of duplicity, isn’t Young Master Zhou the best example? Don’t you know what you usually do?” Shan Yue was deliberately referring to Zhou Xuan’s ‘sugar mistress’.

Hearing this, Zhou Xuan raised his eyebrows, suspicion flashing in his eyes. “What did I do to make Miss Shan say that about me?”

“Young Master Zhou knows very well.”

“What if I don’t?”

“Then forget I said anything.” After Shan Yue finished speaking, she left behind an intriguing smile. Without looking back, she flagged down a car and disappeared from Zhou Xuan’s sight.

Zhou Xuan was left alone in the car, smiling with interest.

…

In the evening, cars shuttled through the hazy night. The slums were still filled with smoke and fire, and the roads were filled with busy people.

The taxi stopped in front of Shan Yue’s house. Sun Ling changed her attitude towards Shan Yue, who got out of the car. She revealed a rare fawning smile. “You’re back.”

Shan Chen, who was in the room, also heard the commotion. He turned around and realized that his sister was standing in the living room. He hurriedly stood up and went forward. “Sister, you’re finally back. I’ve missed you after not being at home for two days.”

Shan Yue’s expression was gentle as she gently stroked Shan Chen’s head. “Have you been studying well these past two days?”

“Of course, Sister. Not only am I maintaining the top score in the grade now, but I can almost close my eyes and operate those things you taught me. Is there anything new to learn?”

Shan Yue revealed a trace of joy when she heard this. She was once again shocked by Shan Chen’s talent. With such learning ability, he would probably have a place in the top ten of the hacker rankings in the future.

Then, Shan Yue turned on her phone and sent the video of her attacking the first four levels of Zhou Xuan’s firewall to Shan Chen.
