Yun Bilu looked at Huang Yize’s serious expression and replied, “Of course I know that it’s dangerous and cruel. When I was with you, I went through two assassinations as well.”
Now that Yun Bilu thought about it, she finally understood that the two incidents might be linked to the Black Dragon Gang.
But she did not ask any further.
Even if Yun Bilu did not ask, Huang Yize intended to come clean with her. “Whatever I did not tell you in the past was because I was scared that you would be in danger. Now that you know my identity, I have to tell you that those two assassinations were indeed linked to the Black Dragon Gang. Although in the hearts of common folks, we’re a terrifying and secretive existence, we have rules that don’t allow us to harm the innocent.”
Yun Bilu nodded her head profusely. “I know. I believe you, so the people under you must be kind like you. I want to help you in the future too.”
“Bilu, I cannot allow you to be in danger.”
“So you can be in danger then? Don’t hide it from me. My guess is that there’s a gunshot wound on your body. The more you don’t want me to see it, the more I can confirm that.”
Huang Yize knew that Yun Bilu could be quick-witted at times. He couldn’t hide it even if he wanted to, so he could only sigh and say, “There was indeed a gunshot wound, but it’s already healed. You don’t have to worry.”
“I want to be by your side in the future so that I can protect you.”
“No. You just study obediently in school. I will accompany you whenever I have time, but you cannot follow me.” It was too dangerous. He couldn’t treat Bilu’s safety as a joke.
“When it’s vacation, I can be with you. On normal days, I can study in school. Let me dress as a guy, or maybe you can just say that I’m your bodyguard?”
Huang Yize shook his head. “It’s not as simple as you think.” One can never be too careful. This girl’s safety was something he prioritized over everything else.
He recalled the time when his father lost his mother. If he did not walk into the room, his father would have shot himself.
He couldn’t understand the despair in his father’s eyes at that time, but now that he had someone in his heart, he could finally understand why his father did that.
He did not want to experience that sort of devastation, so Yun Bilu must stay safe.
Looking at Huang Yize’s stubborn look, Yun Bilu knew that she couldn’t argue her way through this. “I thought you said that people from the Black Dragon Gang were all loyal to their comrades?”
Whatever Yun Bilu wished to know, Huang Yize sought to explain it to her. “There are some who do and some who don’t. People are all different. The most important is how they are led.”
Yun Bilu had too many suspicions that filled her brain. She wanted to ask about everything, but it felt as if they would take more than several days to answer.
“Oh, by the way, Huang Yize, since you are so powerful, why do you need to come to Noel Harlem University to study?”
“That’s because Noel Harlem University is a world-renowned school where many heirs of influential figures go to, and I need to make connections with them.”
Yun Bilu’s heart ached for him. He should’ve been there to study only, but he still had to do so much. It must have been tiring for him. “Then, do they know your identity?”
“Only a few trustworthy ones know. My identity cannot be leaked, but there will always be people who manage to find out. You will be in danger by my side, but at Noel Harlem University, you will be safe. No one can do anything to Noel Harlem University publicly.”
Yun Bilu was shocked by all these revelations. She had spent so much time with Huang Yize in the past, but she never knew that he had to shoulder so much responsibility.
