A dangerous man? Gu Xiqiao narrowed slightly.
There was no one inside the alley, but a cold and moist wind blew from within, making the atmosphere of the silent and desolate alley even more terrifying and frightening. After being reminded by the system, his heart rose to his throat, goosebumps appearing on his arms.
[Dig! The system level is not high enough, so I don't know who it is!]
The edge of Gu Xiqiao's lips moved slightly. “What's your use?”
[Why do you always bother me, Gu Xiqiao! Hah, wait, your friend has appeared on the map, do you want to see it?]
Gu Xiqiao did not reply, but a semi-transparent screen appeared in front of him with two moving points on it. One of them is bright red, while the other is fluorescent green. On the green dot there is a name…
Jiang Shuxuan's.
The red dot indicates a dangerous person, while the green dot indicates his friend, and the two dots are in an alley next to him.
Gu Xiqiao did not have enough time to check how far the two dots were from him before the red dot suddenly disappeared and appeared in another alley! In an instant, it had bounced as far as three streets.
The teleportation? His jaw was agape in shock.
“No one comes to pick you up again?” A deep voice suddenly sounded beside him along with a warm breath, making Gu Xiqiao return to the real world. Looking up, he saw a familiar sculptured face that glowed dimly in the darkness.
When did he come here? Wasn't he in the alley next to her a second ago?
He can teleport too ?!
Gu Xiqiao blinked for a moment, hiding the horror in his expression as his face shone with corresponding shock. “Brother Jiang?”
[You're good at acting, Beauty Qiao.]
Jiang Shuxuan looked at him and leaned his body close, his eyebrows fused together and his lips tightly clenched. He had always been a distant person, and coupled with this expression, he seemed more aloof.
Ever since he had the system, his five senses had been honed more than the average person. Now, he could clearly feel the cold aura enveloping him along with indescribable pressure. Although he seemed to be suppressing her as much as he could, it was still there.
“Cute with me.” Without a second thought, Jiang Shuxuan grabbed Gu Xiqiao's backpack and carried it himself.
There were several books inside the backpack, along with revision data and a heap of thick paper that was quite heavy, but in his hands, the backpack looked weightless.
“Not safe here.” Jiang Shuxuan walked behind Gu Xiqiao as his cold gaze swept around, walking slowly to accommodate his speed. “Girls should go home as soon as school is finished, do not wander around the city at these hours.”
His tone was somewhat reproachful, but Gu Xiqiao was not the least bit unhappy, answering gently, “Alright.”
The scene from before was still repeated in his mind. That was teleportation, wasn't it?
Jiang Shuxuan raised his eyebrows at the rare event the girl did not argue with him.
After they walked for a while, they saw Bugatti Jiang Shuxuan parked at the entrance of the alley, and a tall figure was leaning on the car a little. As soon as he saw Jiang Shuxuan, he walked over quickly.
“You ...” Yin Shaoyuan had just opened his mouth to speak before looking at Gu Xiqiao, stopped what he was about to say and walked over as if examining him. “Bro Jiang, you brought a girl back with you!”
Jiang Shuxuan ignored him and looked at Gu Xiqiao. “Wait a minute in the car, okay? I'll be back after I deal with some business. “
Jiang Shuxuan instructed Yin Shaoyuan to watch over him, before turning around and entering the alley again.
The skinny figure quickly disappeared into the darkness of the night.
Seeing that Jiang Shuxuan had left, Yin Shaoyuan turned around and looked towards Gu Xiqiao, who was looking down at the ground, continuing to smile after Jiang Shuxuan left. The streetlights were not bright, so she could only see a smooth side profile with porcelain skin, and she knew that she was quite beautiful.
Such a pretty face was the type that he could remember after seeing her once, so the young man narrowed slightly, his phoenix eyes scanned up and down before putting his fist into his palm as consciousness. “Ah, are you an illegitimate daughter of the Gu family?”
Gu Xiqiao froze in place, his grip on the canvas stiffening as he slightly pursed his lips, not answering his question.
Yin Shaoyuan did not stop investigating, however, as he stepped closer with a somewhat mocking smile. “As an illegitimate daughter, why did you return to the Gu family? Fighting with your sister for the position of heir to the family? No? Even if you can't do that, you'll be able to earn a lot of money out of nowhere to live a safe and secure life, huh? ”
Gu Xiqiao had heard many comments with the same tone in his previous life, so his words did not affect him in the least.
He slowly raised his head and looked towards Yin Shaoyuan. “What is your surname Zhang?”
After she asked him, he opened the car door and climbed into the back seat.
Yin Shaoyuan stood there for a moment while thinking, before finally understanding what he meant. This girl insulted him so much that his mouth was full of gossip like a long-tongued woman! 1 He had the intention to tell her to come out to argue with him, but when he saw those clear apricot eyes, he suddenly could not move.
He lit a cigarette and leaned in front of the car again.
Such a pure pair of eyes made it impossible to continue ridiculing him …
Meanwhile, he was thinking about the rumors about the girl in the high society recently.
There were not many young people in this generation of the Gu family, and the only pure daughter was Gu Xijin. They had found an illegitimate child, but his attitude was very bad. According to rumors, he was arrogant and haughty and left his foster mother behind.
Moreover, Jiang Shuxuan had him check out the Gu family for information about the second princess a few days ago.
Looking at him again, it was inevitable that he was confused.
As his cigarette ran out, Jiang Shuxuan returned and opened the back door of the car.
Yin Shaoyuan's hand that was raised to greet hung there awkwardly, and he had no choice but to climb into the driver's seat and start the car, driving off into the distance.
“Go to mansion.” After the car was turned on, Jiang Shuxuan did not give Yin Shaoyuan a chance to speak.
And so, Yin Shaoyuan drove back to Jiang Shuxuan's temporary residence without being able to say a word, and upon arriving he was left there outside the gate without even inviting him in. The poor young man could only watch as Jiang Shuxuan led Gu Xiqiao into the mansion, deep in thought.
“Mrs. Zhang, cook some more food for dinner. ” Jiang Shuxuan instructed Madam Zhang who came to meet them at the entrance.
Madam Zhang took over Gu Xiqiao's belongings and looked up and down at him, nodding in relief when she saw that the younger girl looked quite healthy. “Nona Gu, shower and change your clothes, dinner will be ready soon.”
Gu Xiqiao glanced at Jiang Shuxuan, not moving a single step.

Wasn't he supposed to send her back to Gu Manor?
