Chapter 7: Gu Zhen (I)
After a moment, Linfeng woke up from his stupor.
Linfeng left the junior's building. He drove to the senior's building but was blocked by a large crowd in the parking area.
Getting out of the car, Linfeng left the vehicle to the driver. He walked to the entrance, not even bothering to look at the crowd.
It was unusual to see these wealthy students who usually pay attention to their etiquette and manners suddenly act like this.
But Linfeng did not bother.
The moment he stepped into the entrance, an arm suddenly reached out to him. Reflexively, Linfeng got ahold of his arm and was about to break it when the arm's owner cried.
"Hey, Linfeng! It's me! Your precious friend!"
Linfeng recognized the voice. He let go of the arm and ignored the boy who claimed to be his 'precious friend' and continued to walk.
The boy let out a pained look.
"Linfeng, wait! Why are you so cold towards your precious friend? I'm the only friend you have, so you have to treasure me."
Linfeng finally looked at him coldly with an expression of 'don't bother me.'
The boy ignored this and continued his antics. He seemed familiar with Linfeng's cold behavior. In fact, Linfeng was out to everyone and remained distant from them.
Even if he was an aide, he was respected and revered.
He ranked first on the school board. Coupled with his unrivaled talents and extremely handsome looks, he was very famous, especially to girls.
Many young misses wanted to recruit Linfeng as their aide. But the Zhou family was complicated. Aside from the fact that their family was wealthy enough to rival them, the Zhou's were only loyal to the Xiong family's first line descendants.
There was an unbreakable treaty between these two families that was handed down in every generation.
The first descendant of the Xiong family would be served by the first descendant of the Zhou family.
Aside from that, any family members who were not from the first line descendants could not force the Zhou family's first line descendants to serve them.
The same for the Zhou family, other than the first line descendants, other members could not push themselves to help the Xiong family's first line descendants. Instead, they could freely choose their master even from outside the Xiong family.
That was the case for Linfeng, the only son of his father—the eldest son of his most aged grandfather, making him the first line of the Zhou family. He had no choice but to serve and be loyal to the Xiong family's first line descendant—who happened to be Xiong Zhi.
However, Linfeng did not want to stay resigned to his fate.
He did not want his descendants to curse him like he cursed his great-grandfather and his descendants for being cowards and becoming dogs to the Xiong Family. He wanted them to soar freely into the sky, doing what they wanted, aiming for what they could achieve.
But for now, it could wait. He would make himself stronger first. He was planning something, something more significant than even Xiong Zhi herself got a headache for in the future.
The youth hurriedly chased after him.
"Maybe you heard the news, that's why you are in a bad mood? Your girl fans will be stolen away by that hooligan. I heard he was very talented, with exquisite looks. Who knows, maybe you finally found your rival?"
Linfeng still ignored him.
"Ah! I also heard that he came here from the United States to find his future wife. You know, choosing from your girl fans." The boy continued teasing Linfeng.
But Linfeng was not bothered. As the boy was treated like air, the boy finally stopped his teasing and said in a severe tone.
"He was from the Guan Group."
Linfeng stopped for a moment.
Then continued walking again like he had not heard it.
Yet, he could not help but furrow his brows.
Guan Group.
Those two words meant one thing.
He was debating with himself whether to warn the young miss or not.
In the end, before he reached his room, he decided not to tell her about it. It was not his problem. He had promised to himself that he would not be her aide forever, so let just let her face this problem in the future.
The scene of her smiling at him lightly surfaced in his mind.
No. It's not my problem.
He countered.
He was not concerned.
He was not bothered.
He had nothing to do with it.
He tried to console himself with these reminders.
________________________________
Not knowing that the storm that she wanted to avoid was brewing and coming her way, Xiong Zhi entered her classroom.
The room was big and spacious. It could hold 200 people, but the students within the room numbered less than twenty.
She sat in the farthest row. Since she had attended high school in the previous life already, there was no need to pay attention to these trivial things anymore.
When she first entered high school, she had wondered why his grandfather, who had let her be home-schooled until she was fifteen, suddenly enroll her in school.
After undergoing a rebirth, she knew why to meet the beast and capture his attention. She did somehow, but until now, she could not understand how she was able to get his attention and let him agree with marrying her.
She thought of transferring at first. But now the situation was different. She would make use of every resource that was present to her.
Including this school.
She looked in front and studied every classmate. There were only seventeen at present. She knew they were eighteen, and the last one would be committing suicide two months from now.
She remembered that piece of news because it lasted for a month before the information cooled down.
She saw sons and daughters from the government, lawyers, and businessmen like herself.
She was looking for her target.
At the corner of the third row, she spotted him.
Gu Zhen, the only son of the general of Country C military.
He was currently typing non-stop on his computer. His brown eyes and long lashes were hidden behind the thick glasses and his curly black hair. He was not very tall, and his presence was something that is quickly forgotten.
No one would expect that this weak and nerdy guy came from a strict military family.
However, Xiong Zhi knew that inside this seemingly weak boy was a genius computer programmer and game developer.
Because he was the only son of Gu military family, his father was against him being a computer programmer.
Thus, his progress in his chosen profession was slow. It was only when he turned twenty that he created SSS and GMA and became recognized as the youngest prodigy in the field of advanced information technology. His two creations became an international sensation, to the point that even his father could no longer stop his growth.
After three years, he became a billionaire.
Xiong Zhi had a list of targets.
Before she acted, she wanted to test the water first.
First, observe and wait.
