Chapter 78

After sending off that group of thugs, Lingyun smiled and said to Chen Jing, "I didn't expect our top department beauty to be an expert in this area as well."

"Do you not like girls who can fight?" Chen Jing asked softly.

Lingyun shook his head: "That's not it. There's nothing wrong with girls learning some self-defense; at least they have the power to protect themselves when they encounter danger."

"Hee hee, then I can rest easy." Chen Jing patted her chest.

Inside the Mercedes, Zhao Gang watched Chen Jing and Lingyun laughing and chatting at the food stall, and couldn't help but curse Red Hair and his group in his heart for being useless, failing to even take down a single girl.

Beside Lingyun, Chen Jing frowned slightly. As a Martial Artist, her senses were much sharper than an ordinary person's. Not long after this group of thugs appeared, she felt someone watching this place, but her strength was insufficient to immediately pinpoint the other party's location, so she could only check bit by bit. Now that she had confirmed the location, she glanced over quietly and discovered a Mercedes in that direction. After memorizing the license plate number of the Mercedes in her heart, Chen Jing acted as if nothing had happened and continued eating with Lingyun.

Over the next few days, Lingyun lived very peacefully, and until the Huaxia University exchange group was about to return to school, Zhao Gang did not come to cause him trouble. Lingyun was happy to be idle in this situation; living a quiet life was what he wanted right now.

As for Zhao Gang, he was truly depressed to the extreme during this period. His grandfather had a "cordial" talk with him a while ago, so cordial that it made him want to cry. The gist of it was that while the girl Chen Jing was very good, she was not someone he could touch; if he wanted to continue being the heir of the Zhao Family, he should behave himself and stop provoking this girl.

Regarding his grandfather having a heart-to-heart with him, Zhao Gang felt helpless to the extreme. Although he was a second-generation heir, he was not a fool. He clearly knew that everything he possessed now was only because of his status as the future heir of the Zhao Family, and there were countless people of the same generation in his family coveting this position. If he lost this status, the consequences were imaginable.

After going through a difficult choice, he chose to temporarily give up his plan to pursue Chen Jing. That's right, not stop, but temporarily give up. It wouldn't be too late to pursue Chen Jing after he gained control of the Zhao Family. After spending this much time together, he already understood that Chen Jing was not a girl who would easily lose her heart. As for Lingyun, he could be one hundred percent certain that this was just a shield Chen Jing had pulled in to keep him from bothering her. After all, the information he had investigated previously included intelligence on Chen Jing and Lingyun's time together in their third year of high school. From the intelligence, although the two looked like a couple, they were actually just friends and had not reached the level of lovers.

"Chen Jing, lately, it seems I haven't seen that guy named Zhao Gang come to pester you," a girl who had a good relationship with Chen Jing whispered to her in the laboratory.

"Maybe it's because we are in different cities and he gave up; long-distance relationships are very fragile. Besides, you saw it before, he has a girlfriend. A while ago he even came to show off in front of me, saying I was a mistress. Now he's probably being kept in check by his girlfriend," Chen Jing shrugged.

She wouldn't tell others that she had previously checked the background of that group of Red Hair's, and after learning that this was a premeditated "hero saves the beauty" plan, she had people go directly to the Zhao Family and have a "friendly" exchange with the old man of the Zhao Family. In the end, the Zhao Family's old man, deeply feeling the difficulty of starting a family business, patted his chest and gave guarantees to Chen Jing's people, only then did Chen Jing let her people pull back from the Zhao Family.

Well, although the Zhao Family's old man almost ended up in the hospital due to a heart attack because of this, Chen Jing stated that this matter had nothing to do with her. After all, if you don't want to discuss things properly and insist on bringing your dirty business into the light, then show your martial power and display some hard strength for you to see before you are willing to talk, then according to Lingyun's words, that is just asking for a beating.

Having solved such a matter, Chen Jing was in a good mood; after all, no one wants a fly buzzing around them all the time. The only thing she was somewhat reluctant about was that the exchange study at Modu University was coming to an end, and they were about to return to Beijing. Once in Beijing, she would no longer be able to stay alone with Lingyun. Thinking of those in Beijing who were eyeing Lingyun like tigers, Chen Jing couldn't help but rub her forehead with a headache.

Shanghai International Airport.

Today was the day the Huaxia University students returned to Beijing. As the student representative of the Modu University exchange study team, Zhao Gang also came to the airport to see them off.

"Alright, it's almost time to board, you don't need to see us off anymore," Chen Jing said to the students and teachers of Modu University who came to see them off.

"Well, Chen Jing, I will go to Beijing to find you, but not now. After I achieve some success, I will appear in front of you in the best posture," Zhao Gang looked at Chen Jing and said with a serious face.

Chen Jing sighed helplessly in her heart; this guy still wouldn't give up. But so be it, since he now had the heart to achieve a career, she shouldn't discourage him. As for going to Beijing to find her, he would understand once he arrived in Beijing.

As Chen Jing and her group walked toward the boarding gate, Zhao Gang quietly pulled aside a Huaxia University student, stuffed a small bag into his hand, and whispered: "Brother, my future happiness depends on you. Remember to notify me if anything happens."

That student weighed the small bag in his hand and nodded slightly: "Okay, leave it to me."

It was just reporting some of the top department beauty's daily activities to Zhao Gang, not infringing on her privacy, and he could earn some extra money at the same time; this didn't count as anything, the boy thought to himself.

Little did they know, their actions had all been seen by Chen Jing.

"Well, it seems that after I go back, the laboratory I set up needs to be cleaned out," Chen Jing secretly made a decision.

Lingyun did not notice the small movements of Zhao Gang and the others. Now his thoughts were all on Luo Yexi and her group in Beijing. When he talked to Luo Yexi on the phone last night, he learned that quite a few things had happened on their side. Now, the most important thing for him was to go back and solve the matters there.

"Lingyun, what are you thinking about?" Chen Jing asked softly, seeing that Lingyun was somewhat absent-minded.

"Nothing, just a little worried about Ye Xi and the others. After all, they lived in the big mountains before, and now that they have suddenly arrived in a big city without me, I'm worried they won't adapt," Lingyun did not tell the truth.

"No need to worry, after all, it's only three or four hours from here to Beijing, and they aren't children anymore; nothing will happen," Chen Jing comforted him.

"Hmm," Lingyun nodded slightly.
