But who knows what might be behind the scenes, and the Jiang Family is a Fortune 500 company. If it collapses, who knows what kind of upheaval it will cause?

"No way, we're just conducting legitimate business activities. There's no way anyone can do anything to us, and the mastermind isn't even..."

After chasing Li Haili and her group away, Luo Chao waited for their parents to come and make trouble. Unfortunately, they never showed up.

It seems like they chickened out. Luo Chao could understand their behavior to some extent. After all, Jiang Yuanyuan isn't someone just anyone can afford to provoke.

"Let's go." Jiang Yuanyuan tugged Luo Chao along, taking him by surprise. Was it time already?

"You've been zoning out this whole time, of course, you didn't notice. It's getting late, so we should get ready to go back. Not only do we have finals tomorrow, but we also have to prepare to go to that place."

That place? Luo Chao was taken aback. What place was she talking about? How did he not know about it?

"Are you an idiot? Of course, we're going to that mountain village, where else did you think we were going?" Jiang Yuanyuan looked at Luo Chao with dissatisfaction.

Luo Chao slapped his forehead. How could he have forgotten about that? But do they really need to leave so early?

For the final exam, Li Haili and Li Junling both were absent, surprising everyone else. What was going on with these two?

Moreover, Gao Shilong's homeroom teacher was missing, which shocked many people. The homeroom teacher was replaced with a beauty. Luo Chao was startled to find out that this person turned out to be someone who was now his homeroom teacher.

"Good morning, everyone. Let's get to know each other. My name is Su Yan, and I hope you'll look after me in the future." Su Yan seemed very young, perhaps even younger than them.

"Did you know? This Su Yan is actually only eighteen years old, a genius who graduated from Harvard at just thirteen, and became a doctor at fifteen, probably an elf in her field of physics research."

Luo Chao was taken aback. Someone with such expertise in physics ending up as a high school English teacher seemed wasteful, didn't it?

However, if Su Yan was an assassin, she probably became a physics doctor just to improve her assassination skills.

Most assassins do it to make a living. Kids from wealthy families like Su Yan don't need to do it for a living, but it's a pity she chose this path.

But why did she come here now? While curious, Luo Chao knew it wasn't the time to ask.

If Su Yan wanted to tell him, she would say so. There was no need to worry.

With the exam paper in hand, Luo Chao casually looked it over. The questions were as simple as last time. He quickly wrote his answers down.

Su Yan nodded, as expected of Luo Chao, he still had notable skills.

This time Jiang Yuanyuan wasn't worried at all, confident that he'd score well. However, she couldn't let him take first place. She had studied diligently at home to achieve this goal.

As the exam ended, Luo Chao breathed a sigh of relief, signaling it was time for lunch.

"Luo Chao, let's have lunch together and catch up," Su Yan called out with a smile, leaving Chen Xiaoqi and Jiang Yuanyuan stunned.

Did Luo Chao actually know this genius girl? But what was their relationship? Others were equally baffled, wondering if the transfer student and the new beautiful homeroom teacher might be a real pair.

"Luo Chao, what's your relationship with her?" Jiang Yuanyuan asked angrily. Luo Chao was her bodyguard, not anyone else's. Now, it seemed he was becoming someone else's.

What belongs to her should stay that way, how could she let someone else take Luo Chao? She wouldn't allow it.

"She's my master's disciple," Luo Chao explained blankly. He couldn't quite bring himself to say that his homeroom teacher was an assassin.

"Master's disciple? Are you imagining yourself as a martial arts protagonist? I don't need to worry about your business! Just remember, you're my bodyguard, not anyone else's, got it?"

Jiang Yuanyuan's anger once again puzzled Chen Xiaoqi and Mao Zhonghua. Clearly bothered, why say such things then?

Without waiting for Luo Chao to respond, Jiang Yuanyuan dragged Chen Xiaoqi and Mao Zhonghua to eat, clearly not wanting to dine with Luo Chao.

Luo Chao reluctantly followed. As Jiang Yuanyuan's bodyguard, how could he leave her side? What if something happened to her, wouldn't he be shirking his duty?

"Yuanyuan, didn't we bring our own lunch?" Chen Xiaoqi complained all the way. How could the food in the canteen compare to her packed lunch?

"Mind your own business. We haven't eaten in the canteen for ages; let's go today, or how can we still be students?"

"Ah!" Jiang Yuanyuan's words troubled Chen Xiaoqi. Since Jiang Yuanyuan wanted to go, she had no choice but to comply.

Would Jiang Yuanyuan let her go? Share fortunes and hardships.

Mao Zhonghua didn't mind; when hiking, she'd often eaten wild plants. Such ready meals were already a luxury for her, and the canteen food was indeed cost-effective.

In fact, the canteen didn't profit, with the school subsidizing it every year as funding.

High school students are at a developing age; how can they lack nutrition?

Luo Chao found another seat and sat down. Su Yan soon joined, greeting him before sitting at the same table.

Before they could speak, a man approached. He was a teacher, looking quite arrogant.

"Kid, students shouldn't sit here. Don't you have any self-awareness?" the man fumed. He was a teacher, only teachers could dine together.

Luo Chao ignored him, clearly not taking the male teacher seriously.

"Did you hear me? This isn't where students can sit. Get lost," the man's domineering words irritated Luo Chao significantly.
