Chapter 25 -25 You guys become the doormen…_1

Knock, knock, knock.

The door outside knocked again.

“Come in.” Yan Xiaohu shouted, his voice sounding a bit tense.

“Young Master Yan…” It was madam procures, swaggering in with a flippant demeanor, swaying her waist as she walked into the room, “Oh, our Rou Yi is truly fortunate, a Mister Officer just scheduled a meeting with her, barely stepping in the room when you arrived. We run an open-door business, we cannot just kick people out… you may have to wait for a while, Rou Yi will be right with you as soon as she has handled the other affairs.”

As the procures talked and walked towards Yan Xiaohu, it seemed as though Yan Xiaohu didn’t hear a word she said, he was just focusing on her steps, seemingly terrified of her approaching.

Just as the procures were about to sit next to him, Yan Xiaohu immediately slid away, moving a little further away, then gesturing to a seat facing away from the screen,

“You can sit here, just don’t get close to me.”

“Alright, alright…” The procures laughed, “We’ve been acquainted for so many years, yet you’re still so distant. I assure you, Young Master Yan, you are always on Rou Yi’s mind. You were absent the past two days, and she kept mentioning you…”

“Rou Yi mentioned me?” Yan Xiaohu perked up at that.

“Eh?” Madam procures glanced around in confusion, “Earlier I called a couple of other mistresses to attend to you first. Where could they have gone? How troublesome.”

“You will see them soon…” Yan Xiaohu muttered.

“Hmm?” The procures was wondering when suddenly, she was hit from behind. Everything before her eyes turned black.

The glammed-up figure also collapsed.

Chu Liang, standing behind her, dropped the brick he was holding, shaking his head, “This one’s not it either.”

Yan Xiaohu stood up and dragged the procures’ body behind the screen, stacking it neatly next to the other two hostesses.

While dragging the bodies, Yan Xiaohu asked, “Brother Chu, why do I have to bait the Masked Ghost here? Can’t I just go home and have my bodyguards protect me?”

“That could work too, as long as you never step outside your house again,” Chu Liang replied, “Thieves may only strike once, but you’ll always have to be on guard. If we don’t capture the Masked Ghost as soon as possible, you’ll always be in danger. Is that what you want?”

“I guess not…” With that, Yan Xiaohu ceased his questioning.

He was still dragging the bodies when he suddenly heard the sound of a struggle from outside.

Almost instantly, the door was kicked wide open, and two bodyguards fell into the room, tumbling and rolling.

“Oh, Young Master, she insisted on coming in, we couldn’t stop her!” The bodyguards wailed as they scrambled to their feet.

“Huh?” Just as Yan Xiaohu was about to explode, his gaze fell upon the intruder, and he was momentarily taken aback, “Teacher Song?”

Song Qingyi was also frowning, clearly irritated, “Didn’t you realize how dangerous you are? And yet here you are messing around in this place, you…”

Her words tapered off, and she trailed into silence.

This was because when she lifted her gaze, she saw Yan Xiaohu, butt up in the air, dragging an unconscious body, with two other unconscious girls lying on the floor.

And next to Yan Xiaohu stood Chu Liang…

“What on earth are you two doing?” An outraged question escaped from her lips.

“Everything was Chu’s idea!” Yan Xiaohu quickly let go, shouting loudly in his defense.

Well, he was quick to pass the buck.

Chu Liang was left speechless for a moment before explaining to Song Qingyi, “I also suspected that the Masked Ghost would try to get close to Yan Xiaohu, so I came to protect him.”

Song Qingyi glanced at the three unconscious women, her gaze still looked at Chu as if he were a lunatic when she looked at him again.

“We were just testing to see if they were the Masked Ghost or not, these are just minor side effects.” Chu Liang immediately justified.

“Forget it, you two go out first!” Yan Xiaohu dismissed the bodyguards first, then turned to Song Qingyi, “Teacher Song, why are you here?”

“I’m here to protect you, too.” Song Qingyi still looked a bit puzzled, then turned to Chu Liang and asked, “The way you test them to see if they’re the Masked Ghost — is it by beating them up and seeing if they’ll fight back?”

“…” Chu Liang looked dejected.

…

Knock, knock, knock.

After a moment, the knocking sound was heard again.

“Come in.” Yan Xiaohu immediately tensed up.

“Young Master Yan…” This time, a maiden of delicate frame and enchanting beauty entered, dressed in a pure silk palace dress, her fair brow hinting at a gentle and touching temperament transmitted through her eyes.

“Rou Yi, you finally came.” Upon seeing this woman, Yan Xiaohu’s eyes widened, and much of his previous tension subsided.

“I was delayed for a while… You’re not angry with me right?” Rou Yi advanced gently, asking coquettishly.

“How could I be? Seeing you… all my anger instantly dissipates.” Yan Xiaohu scratched his head and laughed.

“I knew it, only you truly love me and treat me well, unlike those other lousy men.” Rou Yi pouted and sat with her back facing the door.

“Uh…” Yan Xiaohu gritted his teeth, hesitated a little but finally pointed to a seat hidden behind a screen, “Rou Yi, sit there.”

“Huh?” Rou Yi paused, chuckled, “Hehe, you’re acting very strange today.”

“No, it’s just that I want to look clearly at your face.” Yan Xiaohu responded.

“Alright alright.” Rou Yi agreed reluctantly. As she got up, she questioned, “Today isn’t a holiday, why didn’t you go to the Academy?”

“Just…didn’t feel like it, I guess.” Of course, Yan Xiaohu couldn’t admit that he’d been roughed up at the academy and was too embarrassed to return.

Especially considering that the perpetrator was just behind the screen.

“Didn’t you say that the new Teacher Song from your Academy is as beautiful as I am and seeing her in class every day gives you butterflies? How come you no longer feel like going?” Rou Yi said: “Men are indeed fickle.”

“No, not at all…” Yan Xiaohu sat up straighter, “Careful what you say, Rou Yi.”

“Alright, alright.” Rou Yi acquiesced, then noticing the injuries on Yan Xiaohu’s face, exclaimed: “Master Yan, you are injured! What happened, did you get into a fight?”

“Um… sort of.” Yan Xiaohu stammered.

After all, the boundary between a fight and a thrashing can be quite ambiguous.

“Oh my, I’m so upset. I’ve never seen you injured before.” Rou Yi pouted and cried out: “The person who injured you is so awful! Let me curse him for you…”

“No, no, no!” Yan Xiaohu almost reached out to silence Rou Yi, hurriedly saying, “Don’t talk about this…”

“Hmph, yes there’s no need.” Rou Yi continued: “That person must be suffering terribly now, didn’t you say your father warned that anyone who dared lay a hand on you would either kneel and apologize or have their whole family killed? The mere thought frightens me…”

“That’s not true…” Yan Xiaohu frantically waved his hands, “We’ve been law-abiding citizens for six generations in my family…”

“Huh?” Rou Yi looked stunned.

Yan Xiaohu seemed a bit impatient now, speaking directly to Rou Yi: “This might hurt a bit, bear with it.”

“You’re so annoying…” Rou Yi blushed, about to feign anger.

Thud.

Another muffled sound.

The beauty fainted, revealing Chu Liang and Song Qingyi standing shoulder to shoulder behind her, looking at Yan Xiaohu, silent with cold smiles.

Yan Xiaohu looked innocent.

At this awkward moment, the sound of fighting erupted outside the door…

In no time, two bodyguards rolled in expertly. As they got up, they wailed: “Young Master, he insisted on coming in, we couldn’t stop him!”

“Couldn’t stop him, couldn’t stop him…” Yan Xiaohu erupted, grumbling, “Why don’t you just pack up and leave, don’t be bodyguards tomorrow, go and be doormen at a pub, I guarantee it’ll be a thriving business!”
