Xie Jiuhan raised his eyebrows. “Chenghai? Why?”
Feng Qing replied, “What else can I do? Of course, it’s to complete our internship. The Xie Corporation’s financial center gave our intern team a case about acquiring the Chenghai aluminum mine. The team is very conflicted about this, so I plan to personally investigate.”
Xie Jiuhan’s voice turned cold. “How long will it take?”
Feng Qing thought for a moment and said, “It’ll take at least three days. One day each for the travel, and one day for a full-scale inspection.”
Xie Jiuhan asked again, “Are you going alone?”
Looking at the man’s expression, Feng Qing revealed a sly smile. “Previously, the people in the team didn’t follow me. Only Senior Liu Yan volunteered to go to Chenghai with me.”
Upon hearing this, Xie Jiuhan couldn’t help but grit his teeth. He clicked his tongue. He was already thinking about how to deal with that student called Liu Yan. Feng Qing seemed to have guessed his thoughts. Hence, she changed the topic and said, “However, I just received news from Professor Sun that a total of seven students will be going to Chenghai City with me for research on Saturday. There’s a total of five girls and three boys.”
Xie Jiuhan raised his chin, his black eyes emitting a displeased expression. Seeing the man like this, Feng Qing couldn’t help but smile evilly. “Little Jiu Jiu, what’s with your expression?”
With that, Feng Qing raised her hand and touched Xie Jiuhan’s abnormally handsome side profile. She comforted him in a soft voice, “Don’t worry, there are a total of eight of us. There won’t be any danger. Moreover, we’re just a group of students. We’ll be back in three days after going to Chenghai to investigate. Little Jiu Jiu, don’t tell me you want to control me too?”
Xie Jiuhan’s throat rolled and his eyes narrowed slightly. He knew that Feng Qing was saying this on purpose, but he still said, “Don’t worry. As long as it’s a serious matter, I won’t interfere with you. However, considering your safety, I still have to send someone to protect you in the dark.”
He was not worried that Feng Qing’s skills were not good, nor was he worried that she did not have the ability to protect herself. Instead, he was considering the logic of always staying cautious. Therefore, he made this decision, especially at this critical moment. Although Feng Qing had already taken the medicine that could change the composition of the blood in her body, some news about her had already been sent back to the Seven Stars Continent by Xian Cheng. The people in the Seven Stars Continent should have already begun to suspect that she was Di Tianxing’s daughter. With his understanding of the Seven Stars Continent, regardless of whether Feng Qing’s identity was confirmed, those people would attack Feng Qing again. Feng Qing had already started to become numb to sending people to protect her, so she tacitly agreed to the man’s thoughts.
…
In the blink of an eye, it was already Saturday. Feng Qing went to the Xie Corporation’s financial center after breakfast and waited at the entrance to gather with the other interns. However, when an unfamiliar man appeared in front of her, Feng Qing was stunned. She thought that it would be Xie Ba or Xie Si who followed her out, but in the end, it was a man she had never seen before. Moreover, this person was too ordinary, so ordinary that it was as if he did not exist when she threw him into the crowd. The only highlight was that this person was at least 1.85 meters tall. Although this person was not considered short, there was nothing worth paying attention to. After all, there were too many tall people.
Feng Qing looked up and down at the man carefully for a while. She was 100% certain that she had never seen this new secret guard in front of her before, not even on Sacred Island.
The man said respectfully to Feng Qing, “Young Madam, I’m the only secret guard you will be bringing to Chenghai. You can call me…”
Without waiting for the man to finish, Feng Qing snorted coldly and said, “Xie Jiuhan!”
Although looks could be disguised, a person’s heart could not be disguised. Xie Jiuhan’s heartbeat and breathing had betrayed him, so Feng Qing recognized him on the spot. However, Xie Jiuhan did not intend to hide it from her, so he exposed his true identity in front of her.
Seeing that his identity had been exposed, Xie Jiuhan continued to act. “Young Madam, please pay attention to your words. I’m your secret guard now. In order to communicate with me more easily, Young Madam can give me a name.”
Feng Qing glanced at him and said, “Little Jiu Jiu, I really admire you. Why did you come personally? I’ll just call you ‘Bum Beetle’ in the future. Wherever I go, you’ll follow. You’re a big Bum Beetle.”
Xie Jiuhan : “…”
Xie Jiuhan cleared his throat and asked in his original voice, “Are you sure you want to call me ‘Bum Beetle’?”
