Chapter 1: The Office's Unspoken Rules...

  "Have you learned massage?" Yang Zongbao found it strange that Mei Wenxin had become an orthopedic doctor.

  "I'm a professional in orthopedics." Mei Wenxin said softly behind Yang Zongbao, as if speaking loudly would cause him pain: "Does it hurt?"

  "It hurts." Yang Zongbao said frankly.

  "Sorry." Mei Wenxin thought it was because her hand was too heavy.

  "Not because of you. How's your family?" Yang Zongbao asked hesitantly.

  "Since I moved in, my stepfather has tried to visit me several times." Mei Wenxin seemed to be talking about someone else's business, without any emotion.

  "That's good, you do as you like, if we're meant to meet, we'll meet, don't think..."

  "I won't, I don't want to see that man again. And thank you." Mei Wenxin focused on the matter at hand, and towards the man in front of her, Mei Wenxin only felt gratitude, it was he who pulled herself out of that whirlpool. So Mei Wenxin had already made up her mind, this lifetime no matter if this man wanted her or not, she would always be by his side.

  "No need to thank me. You also know my situation, it's not as glorious as it seems on the surface. In the future, things might be even more difficult, so during this period of time, you should find something that can support yourself." Yang Zongbao could only think about other things to alleviate his pain.

  "How can I help you?"

  "You taking care of yourself is the greatest help you can give me."

  "Go lie down on the bed, I'll help you press it." Mei Wenxin helped Yang Zongbao to the bedside, took off his clothes, and lay down on the bed with his lower body covered with a quilt.

  "I've learned a lot from Big Sis recently." Mei Wenxin reported her gains over the past few days: "Big Sis is not as gentle as she is when she's with you, but very efficient and precise. Even I, as a woman, would be attracted to her."

  "Oh." Yang Zongbao was clearly uninterested in this topic.

  "Yesterday when I was at the company, a girl came to find Young Master." Mei Wenxin mentioned the matter of the company as if unintentionally while treating Yang Zongbao's bruise on his waist.

  "What's next?"

  "The young master seems to have handed over some things to certain people."

  "Oh."

  "So be careful." Mei Wenxin didn't notice the fear in her own voice. She dared not imagine what her future would be like without Yang Zongbao. No matter if it was for Yang Zongbao or herself, Mei Wenxin hoped that Yang Zongbao could be safe and sound.

  "I see." Yang Zongbao had already known, so he didn't feel surprised. An outsider who hadn't been here for many days could sense the various conspiracies against himself, let alone himself in the midst of the storm. What about his countermeasures? How should he fight back?

  "Ri Gui." Yang Zongbao suddenly called out a name.

  "Can't even let people rest, calling so late." A bald-headed man suddenly appeared on the windowsill, the Buddhist beads on his scalp seemed to be about to jump off in this night.

  "I know you're not asleep, help me with something." Yang Zongbao said with his face buried in the pillow.

  "Break Yang Shuo's pair of hands."

  "You're really cruel, he's your own brother."

  "It's fine if he knows it's what I mean."

  "You never listen to others, do you?" The bald man said discontentedly.

  "Go."

  "It's true, why didn't you say so earlier? Now I have to take a long way to get there." The day demon complained as he jumped down from the windowsill and disappeared into the darkness.

  Yang Zongbao felt the hands on his back pause for a moment: "Afraid?"

  Mei Wenxi smiled sweetly: "No, it's just that I think I didn't misjudge you."

  Let's not mention the implied meaning in Mei Wenxin's words, Yang Zongbao couldn't hold on anymore and let out a slight snore. Mei Wenxin didn't stop her hands, as if what she was doing now wasn't tiring work.

  Yang Fenghua saw through the door gap was such a warm scene.

  Also don't know what reason, Yang Fenghua left the door seam in a very flustered manner, her heart jumping non-stop. The fact that Yang Zongbao was injured, even Mei Wenshen knew it was Yang Shuo's doing, let alone others, including herself. Just now seeing Yang Zongbao's back without a single intact spot, she unconsciously complained that Yang Shuo's hand was too ruthless. But hearing that Yang Zongbao wanted to disable Yang Shuo's hand, Yang Fenghua immediately took out her phone to inform Yang Shuo.

  But Yang Fenghua's phone hadn't even been flipped over when it was stopped by a hand as thick as an old tree root.

  "Miss, recite the scripture." Mei Shu said emotionlessly.

  "But..."

  "There's no but, it won't kill you." Mei Shu's mechanical voice left Yang Fenghua with no choice but to obediently pick up the "Diamond Sutra" and start reading. At first, she read loudly because of her temper, but after ten minutes, her throat felt dry, so she had to lower her volume.

  The night is still going on. Too many things happened today. Everyone has their own bad ideas.

  "Yang Zongbao..." A voice full of resentment echoed from an apartment in the city center.

  Yang Shuo's face was twisted to the extreme, his hands were placed in a strange posture, and beads of sweat as big as beans rolled down from Yang Shuo's forehead.

  "Master Da Shao, I have no choice either. You know this is Master Zongbao's order." The bald-headed demon man said innocently.

  "Does the old lady know?" Yang Shuo asked, enduring the pain.

  "I don't know, it was all Young Master Zongbao's idea." Ri Gui pushed the matter away cleanly.

  "Yang Zongbao and I have sworn not to coexist."

  Yang Shuo had already forgotten the pain at this time, his whole body twisted wildly.

  The Japanese oni slipped away quietly, but was blocked by a woman in all-black tight clothing just as he was about to leave the room.

  "Kuroeda, you're still so beautiful." Higeki chuckled and jokingly opened with a knife hand, causing the woman named Kuroeda to retreat several steps. Higeki took advantage of the opportunity to escape in the opposite direction.

  "Bad luck." The dark ghost cursed and was about to escape from the apartment door, but unexpectedly, another person appeared in front of him, blocking the only exit.

  "Green Cow, long time no see." The Japanese ghost was also very nervous at this moment, and he didn't expect these two great gods to appear. The Yang family had always had a master-slave relationship. Old Lady Yang had Uncle Mei by her side, who used to be the personal bodyguard of the old master of the Yang family. Even now, Shen Rou, Yang Jing, and Yang Tianming all had hidden bodyguards by their sides, only no one would expose themselves unless something happened. However, while others didn't know, the bodyguards knew each other.

  This time, the Japanese ghost was specifically assigned to protect Yang Zongbao. The Japanese ghost himself also vaguely felt that he had been appointed as Yang Zongbao's bodyguard. As for Yang Zongbao, who grew up outside of the Yang family since childhood, it was impossible for him to have his own bodyguards, even after returning home and being designated by the old lady as this most unfaithful fugitive.

  Kuroeda has quietly come up behind Higeki. Higeki is caught off guard from behind.

  However, the black branch and green cow in front of him, although Da Gui had never seen them before, their too obvious characteristics were hard to ignore. Hei Zhi was forever dressed in black from head to toe, with a black horse tail, not a speck of color on his entire body; Qing Niu was as his name suggested, tall and sturdy, with solid muscles that could deliver a fatal blow at any moment.

  The Japanese ogre knew it had met its match and retreated with a bow...

  "Madam."

  In a certain room of the Yang residence, Uncle Mei whispered in the ear of Old Lady Yang, who was meditating: "The sun ghost has been drowned in the river, Hei Zhi and Qing Niu are making trouble outside, and the steward is blocking them."

  The old lady opened her eyes, raised her hand and let Uncle Mei help her up from the couch, walking to the window. The entire Yang residence was pitch black except for the streetlights, and it was impossible to see any signs of life anywhere. In the dark places that were not illuminated by the lights, who knows what was happening.

  "That insolent Day Ghost, daring to mock the master. If it sinks, then so be it. Zong Bao is safest staying here. But that Black Branch Green Cow's annoying personality really gets on my nerves, I wonder how its master taught it." The old lady gazed out the window with shining eyes.

  "Madam, don't blame those two children, who let Yang Jing and Yang Shuo have them in the first place." Mei Shu said anxiously from behind the old lady.

  "You're a sensible person, how can you not see clearly? Is there no one who dares to enter here without permission? Am I dead? Tell the manager to be stricter, otherwise after a few years of not being disciplined, the younger generation will become arrogant and unaware of their place."

  "But..." Mei Shu wanted to struggle again, but was startled by the old lady who suddenly turned her head.

  "Are you going to let them end up like you?"

  "I was wrong." Mei Shu knelt down in front of the old lady.

  ……

  "You shouldn't be here causing trouble." The steward looked at the two disciples in front of him and sighed.

  "Who made Yang Zongbao inside so gutless that he only knows how to stab people in the back, but not dare to fight openly and fairly?" Hei Zhi shouted angrily.

  "There are many things you don't see through." The manager tried to make it clear.

  "I've seen through Yang Suo's death a long time ago." Hei Zhi suddenly blushed, fortunately the black curtain concealed it: "I don't care, if I don't cripple Yang Zongbao's pair of hands today, I won't leave."

  "What do you think, Qing Niu?" The manager asked, seeing that his female apprentice couldn't say anything clearly, so he turned to ask Qing Niu who was standing on the side without speaking.

  "I was wrong, Master, please punish me." Qing Niu knelt down.

  "What did we do wrong? You're such a loser." Hei Zhi was like he had stepped on a landmine, furious.

  "What's wrong with you?" The manager asked Qing Niu, ignoring Hei Zhi on the side.

  "The disciple shouldn't have drowned the day ghost in the river." Qing Niu lowered his head.

  Bang, the manager slapped a palm and threw Qing Niu to one side. Qing Niu fell to the ground but quickly got up again, continuing to kneel in front of the manager. However, his back was straight as a pen, seemingly not convinced.

  "Do you know where you went wrong?" The manager asked again.

  "The apprentice does not know." The green cow said proudly, refusing to compromise.

  "It doesn't matter if you're a ghost or not, it's just that you've suffered for these few years. Besides, I wasn't raised from childhood, so I shouldn't be compared to you. But you barging into the Yang residence is wrong. What kind of place is this? The old lady is right inside, and this is also a place where you can be reckless? You're being wild under the old lady's nose, are your faces thick enough?"

  "But Yang Zongbao had the Japanese devils remove Master Yang Siluo's handcuffs." Hei Zhī was indignant: "Why can't we get rid of Yang Zongbao? He's just a bastard, what's he count for?"

  Slap, crisp palm sound.

  His body didn't move at all, but blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. Finally, he spat out a few teeth.

  "You're a born rebel. Yang Zongbao is the young master, what are you? Eating the Yang family's food, relying on the Yang family's charity to grow up. You can also look down on your master like this? This slap is to wake you up. Were you ordered by Yang Shuo to come over tonight? Without being ordered, why did you take it upon yourself? Do you know the fate of a servant who disobeys? That's the result of taking matters into one's own hands."

  "I am serving Young Master Yang Shuo." Hei Zhi said with unclear articulation.

  "Not bad, but since the master of the house didn't order you to come over, you shouldn't have come." The steward narrowed his eyes. It wasn't that he had a bad temper, it was just that Hei Zhi had committed an unforgivable mistake, bringing up the master's embarrassed face, clearly having some ulterior motive.
