Chapter 28: Level One Disability (There will be another update tonight)
"This..." Shu Yue was still somewhat hesitant.
"And there's another reason. When you're resting or sleeping, that's when your guard is at its lowest. By placing a Black Elf, your safety will have an extra layer of protection!" Hua Tianyu spoke righteously.
"Alright." That reason convinced her, and Shu Yue finally nodded in agreement.
"No, absolutely not! He mustn't install it!" Suddenly, a cold, clear female voice sounded from behind Hua Tianyu.
Without turning around, Hua Tianyu already knew who it was. Wei Xueying had been following behind him for some time—he'd sensed her presence long ago, simply choosing not to reveal it.
"Xueying, this is irresponsible towards Shu Yue, irresponsible towards the entire lab!" Hua Tianyu pressed his hand to his chest, speaking to Wei Xueying with deep anguish.
"Little Yue, don't mind him. If you let him install it, that's what's truly irresponsible towards you. I'm genuinely uneasy about it." Wei Xueying ignored Hua Tianyu and spoke softly to Shu Yue.
"Mm..." Shu Yue knew Wei Xueying meant well. But she also understood that Hua Tianyu's actions were motivated mainly by concern for her safety. Besides, she felt that anyone who cared so much about the company must have decent character.
"Xueying, let him install it. After what happened last night, I feel people targeting our company's gene technology are already starting to stir. I'm worried about what might happen in the future." Shu Yue quickly made up her mind.
"But Hua Tianyu, I'm warning you: if you see anything you shouldn't, you better shut your eyes at once, or I won't let you off." Shu Yue raised her delicate hand, formed a fist, and waved it at Hua Tianyu twice as a threat.
"Don't worry. I can swear right now: my mind will be pure, and I'll only look at what's appropriate!" Hua Tianyu pointed skyward, making his promise with utmost seriousness.
But what exactly counts as 'appropriate'?
Surely, for someone like Hua Tianyu, who aspired to woo every beautiful woman in existence, watching an angel-faced, devil-bodied beauty change clothes was exactly what should be watched, wasn't it?
If someone says otherwise, let thunder strike him—strike him hard!
Wei Xueying watched Hua Tianyu's earnest expression and was speechless. How could he, with just a few words, coax Shu Yue into agreeing, even letting him install a Black Elf in the changing room?
When did Shu Yue become so easy to fool?
Could it be that Hua Tianyu has taken a liking to Shu Yue?
No, I must stop this lecher!
"Xueying..." Hua Tianyu's voice drifted softly.
"Sigh..." Wei Xueying, still thinking about how to stop Hua Tianyu, answered instinctively when she heard her nickname called, only to realize it was Hua Tianyu speaking. Unfortunately, it was too late—she had already responded.
Hua Tianyu was delighted. As the saying goes, the hardest part is the beginning.
Before, whenever he called her this, Wei Xueying never gave him a good face. Now, she responded naturally.
"Your president's office on the sixty-sixth floor has a changing room too... Oh, no... slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue. I meant a lounge, right? I think in Swan International Group, you're the one who needs the most protection." Hua Tianyu's face was as serious as could be.
"Hua. Tian. Yu! Don't go too far!" Wei Xueying hissed, her full chest heaving with anger, her phoenix eyes nearly aflame.
Hua Tianyu shrugged innocently. "Am I going too far? I'm in security; my mind is ever on the duty of protecting the president. What's excessive about that?"
"Besides, a security guard who doesn't want to be the president's bodyguard isn't a good driver!" Hua Tianyu added leisurely.
"..."
A deep sense of defeat welled up in Wei Xueying's heart...
Outside the gates of Ruihe Hospital in Shangjiang City, there was a bustling scene of people coming and going.
At that moment, Sha Jin, his right hand wrapped in white bandages, was supporting Sha Yin with his left hand as they slowly walked out from within the hospital.
Today was their discharge day—not because they wanted to leave, but because the expensive hospital fees were beyond their means.
After being injured by Hua Tianyu that day, the Zhuang family only settled a few days' wages with them and then washed their hands of them.
Sha Jin knew that the job as bodyguard for Zhuang Wei, the young master of the Zhuang Group, was finished.
With what little money they had, there was no way to cover hospital expenses. So, as soon as they were able to move, he and his brother Sha Yin checked out together.
"Big brother, where do we go now?" Sha Yin asked, his face full of indignation.
"We... we'll return to Gathering Righteousness Martial Hall and seek revenge!" Sha Jin spoke slowly, but his voice was filled with hatred.
"But... that driver seemed really strong!" Sha Yin recalled the events of that day, still feeling a lingering fear. Even working together, they had been defeated in an instant.
"It doesn't matter. We'll go back and find Master. Let him speak to Meng Yaowu, the head of our Glorious Martial Hall. If Head Meng is willing to intervene, that driver—what was his name, Hua Tianyu?—won't stand a chance!" Sha Jin sorted out his thoughts and spoke.
If the two of them approached Master Wei Yingcai to step in, he would surely agree. But judging by that day, Hua Tianyu's skills were formidable. If Master ended up fighting to a draw, revenge would not be achieved.
Originally, with Master joining them, Sha Jin felt confident they could teach Hua Tianyu a harsh lesson. But now, the two brothers would be unable to fight anyone for at least several months.
Wait a few months? No, he couldn't wait!
"Head Meng? You're thinking of asking Head Meng to act?" Sha Yin looked at his brother in shock.
Just thinking of Meng Yaowu made Sha Yin's whole body heat up.
Meng Yaowu was undoubtedly the most terrifying presence in Glorious Martial Hall!
Glorious Martial Hall was originally called Pine Hall.
When they first joined the martial hall, they learned under Master Wei Yingcai in Pine Hall. Back then, Gathering Righteousness Martial Hall was not nearly as influential, and challengers came frequently.
Once, ten men arrived to provoke them. Three of them nearly defeated all of Pine Hall; Master Wei Yingcai could only hold off two. Then Meng Yaowu stepped in!
In the end, all ten men were carried out horizontally. Meng Yaowu became famous overnight, and the name of Pine Hall echoed throughout the northern district.
Since then, challengers nearly vanished, and Pine Hall was renamed Glorious Martial Hall. It could be said that Meng Yaowu single-handedly supported the entire Hall!
"But will Head Meng be willing to act over a mere driver?" Sha Yin asked uncertainly.
"We'll try. For Master's sake, Head Meng should be willing to help..." Sha Jin gazed toward Glorious Martial Hall, speaking slowly, his heart tinged with uncertainty.
