The five of them walked out of the school together. Wei Zhao spotted Yellow Hair and Young Master You at a glance, along with two more lackeys beside them. Their strength was plain to him. With Wei Zhao's current power, he didn't take them seriously in the least.
"It's them..." Wang Xinyan said, pointing nervously at the people gathered by the school gate.
"Heh..." Wei Zhao smiled. "It's fine. They won't dare make a move."
"Won't dare make a move?" Wang Xinyan froze.
"That's right. Want to make a bet? We'll walk right out, strolling as proud as you please, and I guarantee Young Master You's three thugs won't dare lift a finger," Wei Zhao said.
"Huh?" Wang Xinyan blinked. She thought Wei Zhao's words were downright absurd, but seeing his earnest expression, she suddenly recalled how calmly he had handled the swindler on the train. Could it be that he already had it all figured out? Still, she couldn't help asking: "A bet... on what?"
Wei Zhao honestly had no idea what to bet. He had only said it off the cuff and certainly had no intention of actually wagering anything with Wang Xinyan.
"How about this — if you lose, you agree to do one thing for me; if I lose, I agree to do one thing for you?" he said casually.
"That's..." Wang Xinyan's cheeks flushed red, clearly letting her imagination run. "I don't think that's a good idea..."
Wei Zhao shook his head in mild exasperation. "Fine — how about if you win, you agree to do one thing for me, and if I win, I agree to do one thing for you?"
"That... will do..." Hearing Wei Zhao put it that way, Wang Xinyan had no reason to refuse. It seemed he had no ulterior motive, which only made her feel a little embarrassed for having thought the worst of him.
But it was hardly Wang Xinyan's fault for being cautious. Ever since the affair of the Kang family's engagement, she had become extraordinarily careful and wary, terrified of falling into someone else's trap again through a single careless step.
"Oh, is Shield Brother trying to lose on purpose?" Shen Yushu asked with a mischievous grin.
"Xiao Shu, stop talking nonsense," Gu Mengyao said. She had noticed Wang Xinyan's discomfort earlier.
Wang Xinyan jumped at Shen Yushu's remark, but seeing that Wei Zhao's expression remained unchanged, she said nothing more.
And so the five of them headed toward the school gate...
"Young Master You, they're coming! What do we do? Just say the word!" Yellow Hair saw Wei Zhao walking over and hurriedly spoke up.
"Huh? Where did all these pretty girls come from? This kid's got quite the luck with women!" Young Master You's eyes went slightly glazed as he stared at the girls beside Wei Zhao. He had thought Wang Xinyan was gorgeous enough, and landing her would have been a thrill. But he never expected three more to show up!
