Ji Wangchen originally planned to go to Hollow City with his younger brother and take him on a trip to the south. Unfortunately, something came up at the company, so he called Chu Yanzhang over to be his brother's companion. Chu Yanzhang's men were all elites among elites, and his bodyguards were also very strong in combat.
Calling Chu Yanzhang over is equivalent to bringing an elite team of bodyguards with you.
Knowing that his younger brother was increasingly being hunted down, Ji Wangchen believed this was a desperate measure. Although his brother was capable of protecting himself and even dealing with more people, if someone dared to bring a gun, no matter how skilled he was, he wouldn't be able to withstand a single bullet.
Actually, keeping Xie Zhuzhou at home could have prevented everything, but the Ji Family didn't know the meaning of the word "coward."
Previously, they were quite concerned about Chu Yanzhang, worried that if such a capable person abducted their younger brother, their brother might be controlled by him in the future.
Looking at them now, it's clear they're just childhood friends, with no romantic feelings involved. Chu Yanzhang seems to only admire and look up to his younger brother like an idol.
After all, Xie Zhuzhou had indirectly saved Chu Yanzhang, and Chu Yanzhang's feelings for Xie Zhuzhou were rather complicated.
In short, it's not love.
Given his brother's personality, if he had feelings for her, he would have started pursuing her long ago.
Xie Zhuzhou was still half asleep when he boarded the private jet.
Two maids were packed onto the plane to serve the young master.
Xie Zhuzhou, and when he opened his eyes, he found himself in the air, with the sound of airplanes flying overhead.
"You..."
"Young Master, it's time for you to get up. Mr. Chu has been waiting for you for a long time." The maid, Lili, admired the young master's good looks while feeling utterly hopeless.
Xie Zhuzhou gradually came to his senses, turned his head, and saw Chu Yanzhang sitting quietly reading a book to the side.
"You're awake, Zhuzhou."
"Hmm, why didn't you wake me up?" Xie Zhuzhou's voice was hoarse, even a little nasal.
" Brother Wangchen said you stayed up late last night and didn't want to wake you." Chu Yanzhang, like a little puppy, craned his neck, waiting for his master to wake up.
"Oh." Xie Zhuzhou pulled the blanket up over his head to escape the belated embarrassment.
He usually saw Chu Yanzhang with his maids meticulously styled his hair; would he look disheveled now, and perhaps not have brushed his teeth?
"You look handsome even when you just woke up." Chu Yanzhang put the book on the table, took the toiletries from the maid, and prepared to personally serve Xie Zhuzhou.
Xie Zhuzhou turned over and, seeing Chu Yanzhang's nonchalant attitude, felt a little strange. But he had helped Chu Yanzhang a lot in the past; friends helping each other shouldn't be a problem, right?
Thinking this, he slowly sat up and looked into Chu Yanzhang's gentle eyes. Suddenly, he felt an itch in his head and started thinking about strange things. Before that, he abruptly snatched the toiletries from Chu Yanzhang's hand, which were in a small basket.
"I can do it myself, you sit down." He almost treated his friend like a servant.
The two maids beside him were seeing the world for the first time with their young master, but they felt no excitement whatsoever; they were even prepared to be beaten.
After all, their young master's mouth is more poisonous than poison and more ferocious than a chainsaw.
The fifth season of " Love 5 " has aired three episodes, Xie Zhuzhou has rarely appeared on screen. Haters have to search for him frame by frame. When he finally does appear, he seems like a ghost, and the picture quality is very blurry every time the episode is paused.
There's a lot of criticism online about Xie Zhuzhou for just wasting his time on TV shows, especially his two live streams, which were just filler.
Nowadays, wherever there are fans of Zhang Yin and others, there are also haters of Xie Zhuzhou.
And the number is getting bigger and bigger. At first, everyone hated Xie Zhuzhou, but gradually they actually developed a bit of affection for him. After all, Xie Zhuzhou only kicked their idol and didn't do anything else that was annoying.
Of course, even if everyone knows they are not pure haters, they cannot reveal that they do not dislike Xie Zhuzhou, because speaking up for Xie Zhuzhou might get them beaten up.
After a two-and-a-half-hour flight, when they arrived in the south, Xie Zhuzhou immediately took off his bulky clothes as soon as he got off the plane. These weren't clothes he wanted to wear; Chu Yanzhang thought he was cold.
" Hollow City, why is it called Hollow City?" Xie Zhuzhou asked Chu Yanzhang.
"In the center of the Hollow City is a sunken area, shaped like a heart that has been ripped out, hence the name Hollow City."
"The name sounds nice, but it's not very auspicious."
I think so too.
The maids carried the young masters' luggage to the villa that the Ji Family had purchased in Hollow City, while Xie Zhuzhou's bodyguards and Chu Yanzhang's bodyguards followed behind the two masters.
"The ribbon-cutting ceremony doesn't start until tomorrow. I don't know why my brother sent me here; he could have just sent anyone." In his past life, he also disliked some sacrificial ceremonies and court banquets—too many people, too much trouble.
At that time, I even thought that if the Marquis hadn't been the Marquis but just a beggar, he wouldn't exist.
"Now that you've made your presence known, more people will be watching the Hollow City project. The Hollow City project team will be more cautious, worried about things going wrong, which will indirectly accelerate the project's progress."
Xie Zhuzhou exclaimed in surprise, "You can do that? It seems my older brother has more tricks up his sleeve." Is that how you use "younger brother"?!
"Buzz--"
My phone vibrated as a call came in.
Xie Zhuzhou was speaking enthusiastically when someone interrupted him. He frowned slightly, took out his phone from his pocket with displeasure, and saw that it was Li Yankai calling.
Could it be that the results are out? Otherwise, why would that guy call him?
He swiped to answer his phone, his tone languid. "What's up?"
" Xie Xiaozhou! Ahhh, you lied to me again!" Li Yankai roared on the other end of the phone, his loud voice making Xie Zhuzhou frown and involuntarily hold the phone further away.
"What did I lie to you about?" Xie Zhuzhou asked, puzzled. Perhaps because he had fooled Li Yankai so many times, he couldn't remember for a moment.
"You said you weren't confident about the exam and didn't study, so why are you ranked twelfth in the class?! And you passed every subject! You... you..."
"I don't know either. I really didn't study much when I got home. I just slept the whole time." Xie Zhuzhou was actually a little disappointed. If his usual score hadn't been so low, he probably would have been confident of competing for first place.
Li Yankai: "..."
"I usually just flip through the book casually, I didn't expect the teacher to set such an easy question this time. I shouldn't have worried. But actually, I did quite well on the test this time, partly because you always encouraged me on the phone." Xie Zhuzhou's lips slowly curled up, as if a little devil's tail was wagging behind him.
Li Yankai: "..." Look at this, is he even speaking human language?! He's not trying to comfort Xie Zhuzhou, okay?! He's testing whether Xie Zhuzhou has learned anything!
Damn it, I'm going to fight you bunch of academic bitches!
"You seem upset. Did you fail a course?" Xie Zhuzhou felt as if he could hear Li Yankai's heart breaking after he said that. "Don't worry, you have many more chances to retake the exam."
Li Yankai: "..."You're good at comforting people.
"Never mind, let's not talk about that. By the way, my dad also went to the Hollow City on a business trip, you might run into him!"
"Your dad? It's probably not easy to run into him." Hollow City is quite large, Xie Zhuzhou felt the chances of encountering him were slim, let alone a complete stranger.
