249: Chapter 249: The Assistant Assigned from Above 249: Chapter 249: The Assistant Assigned from Above A group of people were being led away by the police officers, while the Master still had the look of an immortal, appearing utterly disdainful.
However, his disciples were all downcast, one by one.
Those who were initially in disbelief began to feel as though they had indeed been tricked, upon seeing the disciples’ demeanor.
But how could that be possible?
How could someone as clever as myself be deceived?
Some started opening the video website, searching for any information they could understand.
“The acting skills of the older generation indeed crush those of the younger,” Zhao Guang mused as he watched the performance of these swindlers, feeling a sense of admiration.
Unfortunately, they seemed to be performing in the wrong place.
This time, it was a case of professional swindlers running into professional swindler-catchers, a matching of equals.
Similarly, Zhao Guang realized the scale of the commotion caused by this incident.
He hoped his involvement wouldn’t become known, otherwise, he would be in trouble.
Who could have imagined these old men and women could be so crazy, otherwise, what harm could a mere swindler do?
Rushing home, Zhao Guang planned to deal with his belongings first.
Keeping the Painkiller in the Otherworld wasn’t the plan; he needed to bring it back to his house as soon as possible.
The independent basement at his home now seemed ready for use.
But just as he arrived home, Zhao Guang stopped, took a few steps backward, and looked around the entrance.
“This isn’t right, this is my home, my key works,” he said to himself.
Once he realized what was happening, Zhao Guang wanted to inquire about the person inside his house.
At that moment, the front door opened, and a woman stepped out.
The woman appeared young, probably about his age.
Her long black hair seemed uncombed, casually tied at the back of her head.
Her body was bulging as if ready to explode.
Looking at her face, she was undeniably pretty, possibly even more attractive than Guo Siyu.
It was a pity, such a beautiful woman, yet why did she have to encroach on someone else’s house.
No matter who you are today, I’m going to take you to the police station, Zhao Guang silently resolved.
“You must be Zhao Guang, hello, I’m your assistant Ye Zhi.”
Zhao Guang was bewildered, he hadn’t even begun to challenge her, but she introduced herself.
“Ye Zhi?” Zhao Guang said, confused, while he began to contemplate if he knew such a person.
But that was impossible; if this person were in school, she would definitely be regarded as the school beauty.
If I had seen her, there’s no way I wouldn’t remember.
Could it be that this person was a childhood friend who wasn’t attractive back then but has changed now?
But that’s not right either.
As a kid, even though I wasn’t introverted, I didn’t have much to do with the girls in my class.
As for neighbors, there weren’t many my age and I didn’t know them well.
“It’s Ye Zhi, the ‘Zhi’ from the phrase ‘ank shore and Ting orchid,’ with the ‘grass’ radical,” Ye Zhi explained, inwardly cursing Zhao Guang for being uncultured.
But then she remembered from her research that he didn’t attend a prestigious university, and she felt it was to be expected.
“So, do I know you, or should I know you?” Zhao Guang asked.
Since she knew him and had come here, he couldn’t just call the police as he pleased.
He decided to wait and see, just a few women, they were no match for him.
If it came to it, he could take on three hundred of them with one hand.
“I’ve already said it, I’m your assistant.
From today on, anything you need to do, you can tell me.
With me here, a lot of things will become much easier to handle.”
Zhao Guang quickly extended his hand: “Wait a minute, my assistant?
What do you mean, did my older sister find you for this?”
Only his older sister would do something , right?
It seemed like she had been trying to set him up with Guo Siyu lately.
Could it be that she thought Guo Siyu wasn’t a suitable match and decided to find someone else for him?
This one certainly looked good and had an impressive temperament.
Judging by her conversation and education, she seemed quite highly qualified.
Based on these aspects, she seemed to very much fit his sister’s aesthetics, and Zhao Guang looked on with an understanding gaze.
“No, it has nothing to do with Ms.
Zhao Yan, you could understand it as someone directly assigned from above.”
If she was sent from above, then that was a completely different story.
Being called an assistant might not be far from the truth.
Having such a person to help with coordination would likely decrease many difficulties with certain matters.
But similarly, she was also here to watch over him, right?
Worried that he might run away?
No, that’s not right.
If they were worried about him running away, they would have restricted his ability to leave the country, not allow him to run around freely.
However, if they wanted to understand his Gold channels, that was not entirely impossible either.
The most critical part was, since she was sent from above, he had no way of refusing.
If he refused, it would probably leave a bad impression on higher-ups.
He had already been warned by them because of last time’s issue.
Although Zhao Guang himself was not afraid since there were some people who had broken the rules before him.
But sometimes, some people might not care about that, right?
If he refused this time, what would they do next time?
Nevermind, it’s just someone being assigned officially.
Although it’s a hassle, it wasn’t completely out of his control.
At least, it would be impossible for the other party to understand the matters of the other world behind his back.
With the Space Gate completely under his control, a lot of things could be done much more freely.
“Alright then, since she was assigned from above, let’s go with that.”
Seeing that Zhao Guang relented, Ye Zhi also felt relieved.
If this guy had continued to be unwilling, then there was nothing she could have done.
After all, the higher-ups didn’t want to use tough measures on him,
Otherwise, if it affected the development plans of the prestigious province, that would bring big trouble.
“So, where are you staying?”
“Right here, there are so many rooms in your place.
You wouldn’t mind us choosing a place to stay, right?
I’ve heard that you live alone anyway.”
So I have to provide lodging for you all now.
It’s lucky I don’t have a girlfriend, otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to explain it away.
Zhao Guang widened his eyes and nodded slightly askew: “Fine, you guys pick your places, but the third floor is my territory.”
“We’ll just take the second and first floors.” Going to the third floor was not something they felt comfortable with anyway.
However, Zhao Guang’s attitude toward her made Ye Zhi, who was always pampered, somewhat frustrated.
Although she wasn’t the delicate princess type, she was still a beautiful woman and she liked others’ compliments.
But this guy in front of her, not to mention compliments, the look in his eyes was truly infuriating.
Being his assistant—something many would not even dare to dream of—and yet she found herself being disliked.
There was a moment when Ye Zhi almost couldn’t resist the impulse to throw in the towel and quit, but thinking of her grandfather, she could only endure it.
