\u201cHe saved a city full of people, simultaneously stepping on the face of the XuanShu Society in the process.\u201d The middle-aged man\u2019s expression was complex and ugly, as if he was forced to swallow a mouthful of flies. Just one look at the paperman reminded him of Gu Ye, making his balls ache. \u201cYou\u2019re an outsider so don\u2019t ask. It\u2019s not him anyways. You take your time to figure out this case.\u201d After he finished saying this, the middle-aged man stood up and left. His actions indicated that he didn\u2019t want to talk any further about this matter.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cAchoo!\u201d Gu Ye sneezed loudly.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cBrother, someone must have praised you for being handsome behind your back.\u201d With time passing by like water, tomorrow would be the start of school and Gu Yang, who didn\u2019t do his homework, raised his head and gave a thumbs up to his brother with a serious attitude.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Gu Ye smiled and patted the child\u2019s head. \u201cLittle flatterer, it\u2019s useless even if you praise me to the sky. Do your homework yourself and cover me, by the way.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Gu Yang: \u201c…\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Brother!<\/span><\/i><\/p>

Wang QianQian\u2019s remains were dug up that night, but it didn\u2019t cause a commotion as there were no students around at that time. The forensic team found Li Rui\u2019s hair on her body and the DNA result also proved that the child was his. When the picture of Wang QianQian\u2019s corpse was thrown at Li Rui\u2019s face, he finally couldn\u2019t bear it and broke down before pleading guilty.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The truth soon came to light. The reporters who were concerned with this case soon wrote a report and posted it. The fans were suddenly enlightened to the truth and were dumbfounded, especially the fangirls. They had been stupidly and deeply enamored with a murderer for seven years! A murderer! That child was already nine months old when the woman was killed, how could he do that?!<\/span><\/p>

However, there was more exciting news following that. Two days after his arrest, Li Rui started having drug withdrawals. He actually took drugs! Murdering Wang QianQian had put a huge psychological pressure on Li Rui, so he took drugs in order to relax. This made netizens even more disgusted. <\/span>What a hypocrite! Go to hell with your National Idol or whatever! Murder! Drugs! What else do you not dare to do?!<\/span><\/i><\/p>

Li Rui needed to take legal responsibility for his actions and it was an unchangeable fact. With solid evidence against him, no one would sympathize with him. Before the whole thing went down, he had also confessed his crime in a state of delirium at a concert. Netizens wrote this down as him exposing his deep, dark secrets while being under the effect of the drugs he was taking. Only the people who handled the case knew that there was actually another person who secretly helped them quickly solve this case.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/span><\/p>

The night before school started again, Gu Ye was packing his stuff when he felt three ghosts approaching. He stopped his actions and looked out the window. He saw three ghosts being halted by a golden light emitted at the gate. It was Wang QianQian and her son. The last ghost seemed to be a suspended soul [t\/n]<\/span>, not far from death: Li Rui.<\/span><\/p>

Wang QianQian saw Gu Ye standing by the window and she stopped trying to force her way in. She bowed deeply to Gu Ye, while also holding her son\u2019s back to do the same. Then, they left with Li Rui\u2019s soul in tow, chained by his neck. From a distance, they looked like a mother and son taking their dog for a walk.<\/span><\/p>

Gu Ye watched their retreating backs and nodded slightly: A family of three should be neat and tidy.<\/span><\/p>

Early the next morning, the Song King, Li Rui, once again made headlines. His name had occupied the major news sites lately, losing to none no matter how many splashes the other stars made. Unfortunately, this was the last time Li Rui would ever make big news because he committed suicide last night!<\/span><\/p>

There were also some rumors that Li Rui\u2019s death was exceptionally horrendous. It was said that he bit the artery in his arm and wrote a confession on the wall with his blood, bleeding to death<\/span>.<\/b><\/p>

As we all know, the arteries are not like the other veins which could be seen clearly through the skin. How much flesh did he need to bite his way through before getting to the artery? This suicide method was quite high-end!<\/span><\/p>

Many regarded this as nonsense, only Gu Ye believed that it was true. Wang QianQian\u2019s seven years worth of grudge coupled with her son\u2019s was more than enough to drive Li Rui mad. For Li Rui who owed two lives, the XuanShu Society would close their eyes to Wang QianQian\u2019s revenge of taking his soul.<\/span><\/p>

This matter had already concluded and what was waiting for Gu Ye next was to return to school. Master Gu was going to take a mock exam soon and he\u2019d placed last in the previous exam. If his score was still abysmal this time around, the great Master Gu would definitely be beaten.<\/span><\/p>

Gu Ye and Gu Yang\u2019s breakfast was still the \u201c100 Marks\u201d hand-made noodles by Mrs. Gu. After taking a look at his beautiful, young stepmother, Gu Ye raised his eyebrows and asked, \u201cMom, you\u2019re going to start a business?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Mrs. Gu was surprised. \u201cYou can see that? Your father has made some moves against Li ShengKai\u2019s business lately. They were in a lot of trouble, so Hu Yu wants to sell her shops. I think if she sells it at a low price, I\u2019ll buy it and kick her while she\u2019s down. Oh dear, I don\u2019t know why their family got really unlucky recently, nothing goes well for them. Li ShengKai isn\u2019t old, but he\u2019s already going bald. You know, like the Mediterranean<\/a><\/span>?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Gu Ye was speechless, he certainly was not interested in any sort of Mediterranean uncle.<\/span><\/p>

Mrs. Gu\u2019s expression suddenly changed and she happily held Gu Ye\u2019s face and kissed his forehead. \u201cLao San [t\/n]<\/span>, please calculate for Mom. Can I make money if I open a beauty shop?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Gu Ye took a piece of tissue paper and rubbed the lipstick print off his forehead roughly while staring a bit disrespectfully at Mrs. Gu.<\/span><\/p>

Mrs. Gu\u2019s nicely trimmed eyebrows raised and she asked, discontentedly, \u201cWhy are you rubbing that off disgustedly for? I dressed you when you were still wearing crotchless pants. When you were a child and shit all over me\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cMom!\u201d Gu Ye covered his face embarrassedly. \u201cYou can make a fortune, you will definitely make a fortune!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Mrs. Gu was satisfied. \u201cThat\u2019s good, then. If I don\u2019t make money, you can make a wealth gathering array, give me a treasure bowl<\/a><\/span>, or something along those lines. We can make loads of money every day.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Gu Ye was once again rendered speechless. Does she think he\u2019s Magic Brush\u2019s Ma Liang<\/a><\/span>?<\/span><\/p>

Gu Yang looked at his brother with sympathy. <\/span>Brother is done for. Mom has already regarded him as a cash cow.<\/span><\/i><\/p>

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/span><\/p>

Returning to school, Gu Ye strode to the classroom with his backpack as per usual. Unfortunately, he was stopped again just after he entered the school gate.<\/span><\/p>

The students around looked at Gu Ye sympathetically, what a miserable guy. Gu Ye had already offended the No. 1 school bully, Qian Zhen, before and now was stopped by the No. 2. His small body was like a Barbie doll going against a Titan that was Si HongXing. Gu Ye couldn\u2019t even take a slap from him.<\/span><\/p>

However, what happened next was a big surprise for everyone present. Si HongXing bowed deeply to Gu Ye and proclaimed, \u201cThank you for saving my parents! From now on, you will be my elder brother and my life will be yours to command! If Qian Zhen troubles you again, I will fight him for you!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

The students around gasped. <\/span>What the hell?!<\/span><\/i><\/p>

Wanting Gu Ye to be his boss, is Si HongXing crazy? Can Gu Ye smoke, drink, punch perm<\/a><\/span> his hair, go clubbing, pick up girls or even fight in a gang?<\/span><\/p>

Gu Ye stared at him for a few seconds before seriously saying, \u201cI\u2019m sorry, I don\u2019t need a younger brother nor do I want to form a gang. I only have learning in my heart.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Si HongXing: \u201c…\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cPfftt!\u201d Someone from the crowd was amused by the word \u201clearning\u201d that came out of Gu Ye\u2019s mouth. It was just so funny, weirdly enough.<\/span><\/p>

At this moment, Qian Zhen walked into the gate with the few of his underlings that he had left. The students around them backed several steps away in fear. They were worried that Qian Zhen would suddenly attack Gu Ye. If that happened, Si HongXing would step in, and if they fought, they might get dragged into the fight between the two.<\/span><\/p>

What happened next defied everyone\u2019s expectations. Qian Zhen looked slightly startled when he saw Gu Ye before turning his head away and pretending not to see him. He even trotted faster when leaving.<\/span><\/p>

Everyone else: ???<\/span><\/p>

Not long after that, the news that Si HongXing had become Gu Ye\u2019s underling spread all over the school. What\u2019s more, Qian Zhen had changed his usual bully demeanor, hiding when he saw Gu Ye. This meant that the boss of Wu Middle School was now Gu Ye? That idiot Gu Ye?!<\/span><\/p>

For a while, Gu Ye became quite the miraculous existence in the whole school. Gu Ye distinctly felt gazes on him wherever he went, as if he were walking like an Abnormal Titan<\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>

After morning self-study, Zhao PengYu happily dragged Gu Ye and Xia Xiang to have a meal together. Ever since they moved into the same dormitory, the three hardly separated.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cGu XiaoYe [t\/n]<\/span>, I talked about you to my grandfather. When summer vacation comes, you must go visit him if he invites you!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cWho\u2019s your grandfather?\u201d Gu Ye asked with a lack of interest.<\/span><\/p>

Zhao PengYu answered with, \u201cHead of Yu Family.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Gu Ye\u2019s eyes widened in surprise, \u201cThat Sir Yu?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cShh!\u201d Zhao PengYu stuffed a tea egg<\/a><\/span> into Gu Ye\u2019s mouth to shut him up and nervously said, \u201cStop there. I just want to be a normal rich second generation!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

It wasn\u2019t strange that Zhao PengYu was so careful about it. The reason being that Yu Family was too powerful and influential, not only in the business circle, but also in the painting and calligraphy circle. A lot of people from all walks of life, even the metaphysics circle, respected the head of Yu Family. Once it was known that Zhao PengYu was his grandson, his life might not be as peaceful as it was now. What\u2019s more, this guy was Yu Ze\u2019s nephew who was a legend in the business circle. Yu Ze built a business empire by himself. Mentioning Zhao PengYu, who never got more than a passing mark in his exams, and Yu Ze\u2019s name in one sentence was too embarrassing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Gu Ye thoughtfully and solemnly nodded. \u201cDon\u2019t worry. As long as your grandfather invites me, I will definitely go.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

When his master was still alive, Sir Yu had helped him a lot. It might be a small thing for the old man, but for him and his master, it was a boon. Sir Yu didn\u2019t lack anything, but Master reminded Gu Ye before his death that if the old man needed anything, Gu Ye must help him; it was his responsibility. As a man, one must know how to be grateful and have a clear conscience.<\/span><\/p>

Xia Xiang said with his cheeks puffed, \u201cBefore you can even think of summer vacation, you must take remedial lessons first. I\u2019ll make a study plan for you. You must do at least five sets of questions in the practice workbooks every day. I\u2019ll keep an eye on both of you all the time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Zhao PengYu was puzzled. \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong with you? What\u2019s got you all worked up?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Xia Xiang pursed his lips but didn\u2019t explain. He then said awkwardly, \u201cThink about it, when you go out for visits during summer vacation and some people ask you how your exams went, how do you want to answer them? In addition, we will consider which university we will go to according to the results of this mock exam. The teacher will give the corresponding recommendation at that time.\u201d Xia Xiang looked at Zhao PengYu and Gu Ye seriously and said in a very concerned tone, like a mother hen, \u201cDo you want Teacher Yu to recommend you guys a technical school so you can learn how to drive an excavator?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Gu Ye leaned on the back of his chair and lazily said, \u201cI don\u2019t mind. I can do some grave digging with an excavator.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cYou, you, you!\u201d Xia Xiang pointed his finger at Gu Ye angrily, his cheeks puffing up.<\/span><\/p>

After a long while, Xia Xiang still didn\u2019t come up with anything to say. The little rabbit gritted his teeth, then took a big bite of a pie and chewed on it angrily.<\/span><\/p>

In fact, when he went home this time around, he told his parents that a powerful classmate gave him a charm that was far more effective than what those masters gave him. When his parents knew that the classmate he talked about was Gu Ye, they scolded him and seriously told him to stop being friends with the boy. According to their words: \u201cYou must have been cheated! What a big joke, if you\u2019re friends with that Gu Family\u2019s third son, your studies will only get worse! He won\u2019t get into a good university, so he will rely on his parents\u2019 money until old age! Do you want to become a waste like him too?!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Xia Xiang was so angry with his parents and had a cold war with them for a while. In his mind, Gu Ye was not stupid. He must have deliberately not studied before.<\/span><\/p>

Gu Ye supported his chin with his palm, looked at the pie<\/a><\/span>, and asked with a concerned attitude, \u201cIs it delicious?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Xia Xiang paused his chewing before answering, \u201c…Not bad.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Gu Ye stood up happily, \u201cThen I\u2019m going to buy one too.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Xia Xiang: \u201c…\u201d<\/span><\/p>

With this kind of friend, who needs an enemy?!<\/span><\/p>

Even though Xia Xiang was angry at Gu Ye\u2019s apparent lack of interest in studying, he still brought the learning materials to Gu Ye after class. \u201cYou can go through these first, I will help you with anything you don\u2019t understand.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

The whole class was curious. Even if Xia Xiang had always been in the top 10 students of the whole grade, could he really improve Gu Ye\u2019s IQ?<\/span><\/p>

Lin ZiHao and Liu YiWen also came over at this moment. \u201cWe can also help you with your studies.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Gu Ye picked up the materials Xia Xiang gave him and looked at the two who had just come over before suddenly smiling. \u201cAre you afraid of me?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

The two quickly shook their heads. \u201cNo.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Gu Ye smiled. They both knew that Li Rui\u2019s death had something to do with Wang QianQian. As people who were in the know, what would they think at this time? Gu Ye looked at Liu YiWen, who didn\u2019t dare to look at him, before his gaze fell on Lin ZiHao and he asked meaningfully, \u201cYou haven\u2019t done anything<\/span> that you need to apologize to me for, have you?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Lin ZiHao\u2019s expression suddenly changed. \u201cNo, of course not.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
