Volume 3: The Evil Spirit in the Jade Chapter 1: Tanaka Hirokazu (Part 1)

  The early autumn sun is still like a fire, emitting rolling heat waves, scorching the earth as if it had fallen into a furnace.

  In a corner of the campus, there is a small pond and a small pavilion, as if it were a paradise on earth, shrouded in dense shade, bringing a rare coolness!

  There's a saying: The distance between friends is one meter, the distance between brothers is half a meter, and the distance between lovers is negative.

  Ouyang Xuan and Huangfu Yiling sat intimately together in the pavilion, quietly admiring the beautiful lotus flowers in the pond.

  "The lotus leaves are endless green, reflecting the sun's red glow on the different colored water lilies! Lingling, if one day we can escape the troubles of the world and live in seclusion in a place with such beautiful scenery, it would be wonderful!" Ou Yang Xuan suddenly said with emotion.

  "Pfft!" However, Huangfu Yiling couldn't help but laugh and pouted her small mouth in dissatisfaction: "How old are you, anyway? You sound like an old man talking about seclusion. Aren't you afraid of being laughed to death?"

  "Haha, just kidding! However, modern urban life is indeed too tiring, many people want to seek a peaceful retreat for their hearts!" Ouyang Xuan smiled wryly, knowing that he probably wouldn't have this good fortune in this lifetime.

  "By the way, Ouyang, now that you've graduated, what do you plan to do? Are you going into politics or business?" Huang Fu Yiling looked up at Ouyang Xuan and said softly, "Or, you could still work at the Special Financial Management Center, that's not bad either."

  "Let's talk about it later! It's getting late, let's head back and have dinner together!" Ouyang Xuan smiled and patted Huangfu Yiling's fragrant shoulder.

  "Alright, let's hurry up, I'm starving!" Huang Fu Yiling jumped up and giggled as she pulled Ouyang Xuan along.

  Looking at Huangfu Yiling's beauty immersed in the beautiful love affair, Ouyang Xuan felt a warmth in his heart, smiled and stood up, then pulled Huangfu Yiling's hand to walk back.

  In the dense forest, you can often see couples cuddling together, whispering sweet nothings to each other.

  Ouyang Xuan and Huangfu Yiling exchanged a meaningful glance, smiled lightly at each other.

  Suddenly, three young men walked quickly into the shaded path: one of them was wearing a crisp white suit even in the summer, with a clear and handsome face, his hair perfectly combed, looking like a debonair gentleman; the other two were dressed in black suits, wearing sunglasses, with fierce expressions, seemingly bodyguards.

  The two people approached each other in an instant, and suddenly, the young man in white suit exclaimed, staring blankly at Huangfu Yiling who was walking towards him: her hair fluttered, her white clothes were as snowy, her jade-like face was like a flower, full of the unique elegance and simplicity of Eastern women!

  "Hey, wait a minute!" The young man suddenly blocked Ou Yang Xuan and Huang Fu Yi Ling's path.

  Ouyang Xuan's face changed slightly, and he said somewhat displeased: "This classmate, you block our way for no reason, what do you want to do?"

  The young man glanced at Ouyang Xuan with a proud look, ignoring him, and elegantly bowed to Huangfu Yiling, smiling: "This beautiful lady, I am Tanaka Hiroto, Japanese, may I ask for your name?"

  Huangfu Yiling's face turned red, and she suddenly became somewhat flustered, glancing nervously at Ouyang Xuan without responding.

  Ouyang Xuan was furious in his heart, gritting his teeth with hatred, thinking to himself: "You despicable little Japanese, daring to hit on my girl! If there weren't so many people around, I'd beat you until you're picking up your teeth from the ground!" He then coldly said: "This classmate of yours, can't you see that the girl doesn't want to talk to you?! There's a saying that goes 'a good dog doesn't block the way', would you please move aside?"

  "Hmm!? Ba Ga!" The two bodyguards behind Tanaka Koichi suddenly turned red with rage, snorted and were about to step forward to teach Ouyang Xuan a lesson.

  Ouyang Xuan's eyes turned stern, and with a sudden flash of movement, he shielded Huangfu Yiling in front of him.

  Just as both sides were about to break out in conflict, Tanaka Koichi suddenly smiled and hastily held back the bodyguard behind him, saying nonchalantly: "In that case, we won't disturb you then. We'll meet again!"

  "Come on, Lingling!" Ouyang Xuan pulled Huang Fuying and glared fiercely at Tanaka Kōichi and the others before striding away with her head held high.

  ……

  Watching Huangfu Yiling's beautiful back view, Tanaka Hiroto suddenly showed a silly expression and exclaimed: "What a beautiful woman! In Japan, why isn't there such an elegant goddess like this?!"

  "Master, since you like this Chinese girl, why don't you teach that despicable Chinese kid a lesson and make him retreat in disarray?" one of the bodyguards asked with some puzzlement.

  "You fool!" Tanaka Koichi grumbled in discontent: "Fighting over a woman and making a scene in front of a lady, that's what hoodlums do! We men of the great Japanese Empire can't be so rude! But I, Tanaka Koichi, have never lost since childhood, this time I will definitely defeat this Chinese kid and win the beauty's heart!"

  Guo Zhong's straight back suddenly straightened up, and a proud self-confidence flashed in his sharp eyes!

  ……

  After leaving Tanaka Koichi, who was disliked by everyone, Ouyang Xuan's mood suddenly turned bad, and he stopped talking with a gloomy face.

  Suddenly, Huangfu Yiling slightly pulled the corner of Ouyang Xuan's heart and said softly: "Ouyang, don't be angry, I didn't care about that Japanese person. You know I only like you!"

  "I'm not angry with you, I'm angry with that Japanese man!" Ouyang Xuan snorted: "The accounts from decades ago haven't been settled yet, and he dares to come to China and be arrogant, who knows how many brains he has?"

  "Ouyang," Huangfu Yiling hesitated for a moment, looked at Ouyang Xuan's expression, and carefully said: "You may not want to hear this, but you mustn't provoke Tanaka Hirokazu. I've heard of this person before, ordinary people can't afford to mess with him!"

  "Oh, is this Tanaka Kōichi a three-headed and six-armed monster!?" ōyáng Wèi said with puffed up anger, most detesting others saying he wasn't as good as the Japanese.

  "Ouyang, this Tian Zhongyi is the second son of Tanaka Gisho, the president of Japan's largest financial conglomerate, the Tanaka Financial Group! The Tanaka Financial Group has a profound influence in both domestic politics and economics. You know my father is the vice minister of foreign trade, he also has to give him some face!" Huang Fu Yiling hastily advised in a soft voice.

  "Oh, so there's some truth to it after all. No wonder he was being so arrogant!" Ouyang Xuan raised an eyebrow, his tone still cold as he said: "However, if he doesn't come to provoke me in the future, that's fine... otherwise—hmmph!"

  "Alright, Ouyang, let's not talk about that person anymore. Shall we go eat?" Seeing Ouyang Xuan looking a bit sour, Huangfu Yiling quickly changed the subject.

  "Come on, don't let this guy ruin the mood!" Ouyang Xuan also forced himself to forget about Tanaka Koichi, smiled and took Huangfu Yiling away.
