85 Tons of Injuries (1/2)

Since An Huanhuan was already aware of his real identity, there was no need for Xiao Luo to hide from her any longer. He nodded and replied, ”Of course I will leave. Anyway, I'm not really here at Huaye to study.”

”Everyone treats you like you're a part of our class. If you leave, then we will all be very sad,” An Huanhuan replied, teary-eyed. She had really invested in her feelings for this guy, so when she heard that he was going to leave, her heart began to feel really uncomfortable.

Xiao Luo shook his head and said, ”We all have our own roads to travel. It's not that we can't meet up anymore. If fate wills it, our path will cross again at…”

”No!” An Huanhuan exclaimed. All of a sudden, she jumped up, pounced on him, and hugged him very tightly.

She did this so suddenly that no one could have predicted it.

Faced with the girl's unexpected embrace, Xiao Luo was confused. He could not help but notice the subtle fragrance in the air as An Huanhuan began sobbing in his arms.

”Hero Luo, I don't want you to leave. I really like you!”

An Huanhuan sobbed as she spoke. She could no longer control her feelings or hold them in. There was no explaining it; she just liked Xiao Luo. It didn't matter if her actions came off as childish or immature. Anyway, wasn't this how people grew?

Xiao Luo tried to force a smile. He didn't hug her. Instead, he tapped her on the back and gently consoled her.

Young, beautiful, petite, and cute. For most guys, if such a girl took the initiative to hug them, it would hard to imagine that they would not be interested in her too. However, Xiao Luo had not come to Huaye to fall in love with university girls, but to complete the mission at hand. To think of anything else would be a violation of his own principles.

Three days passed, and no police had come looking for Xiao Luo. He felt enormously relieved. It seemed that Chu Yue had kept her word and not betrayed him.

Chu Yunxiong called specifically to thank him and, at the same time, pay the one million, which remained outstanding of his fee, straight into his bank account.

During his conversation with Chu Yunxiong, Xiao Luo realized that the Red Scorpion mercenaries had been annihilated. He found out that Gu Qianlin had brought a few thousand SWAT officers and police to engage with them over two days and two nights. This had resulted in the deaths of five of the SWAT team members, with twenty-six of them suffering severe injuries. Only then had they been able to kill off the remaining six members of the Red Scorpion Mercenaries at Wild Boar Ridge. In the end, the leader of the Red Scorpion Mercenaries had leaped off a vast cliff. His chances of survival were extremely low.

Additionally, Chu Yunxiong's business rival had declared bankruptcy and been sent to jail. This meant Xiao Luo would be able to drop out of Huayue earlier than expected, and the mission to protect Chu Yue could be considered complete.

Or, could it already be considered complete?

Xiao Luo didn't feel that this was real but heaved a sigh of relief anyway because he would no longer have to attend classes.

”Xiao Luo, thank you so much. It is thanks to your help that my little girl came back to me safely,” Chu Yunxiong said, expressing his gratefulness once again. Calling on Xiao Luo's help had unquestionably helped draw them closer together.

”Don't mention it, Mr. Chu. It's my job,” Xiao Luo answered him politely.

Chu Yunxiong admired Xiao Luo even more after this. This young man had not taken advantage of the opportunity to get closer to him, and his attitude was humble—a real rarity among young people.

”Xiao Luo, my chauffeur will pick you up tomorrow. We will talk again then.”

”I am so sorry, Mr. Chu, but I have some things to attend to tomorrow. I do not have time to meet with you,” Xiao Luo declined Chu Yunxiong's invitation for a chat.

He could already feel that Chu Yunxiong was hoping to involve him in some ongoing plans. However, Xiao Luo no longer wanted to be governed by anyone else. Now that he had the start-up capital of one million, he intended to launch his own ventures, even if he had yet to draw up any concrete plans.

”Xiao Luo, you remind me of myself when I was a young man. I know what you are thinking, so just come along and see what I have to say. I will not disappoint you,” Chu Yunxiong pressed with a smile.

Chu Yunxiong was implying something, and Xiao Luo could not blatantly decline him, so he replied, ”Fine. I'll think about it!”

”You must come. Trust me. I will provide you with the challenge you want as well as more space for you to express yourself,” Chu Yunxiong said.
