Chapter 164: Irregular License Exam (44)
"I'll take care of him."
Long Shui Ling suddenly said in a confident voice that caught me off guard.
I looked at her with a surprised and confused look when she said this, but she just looked back at me with that confident smile on her face.
It was like she was a completely different person from before.
This was the personality that the young miss of a powerful family should have.
But the her from before was also her.
It seemed that she was quite the sheltered young miss that she wasn't able to talk to strangers properly, but underneath was still the powerful young miss of a very powerful family.
So this was her personality when she wasn't holding herself back.
The tone that she had said this in wasn't a question, but rather a statement.
It was as if she was already saying that she would take care of this.
But this was a good thing for me.
If she took care of Zhao Kui and saved me problems in the future, then that would be good for me.
So after thinking about it, I gave a nod and said, "Alright, but don't take it too far. Make sure that he doesn't hurt you."
Long Shui Ling revealed a blush when she heard this before saying with a confident smile, "There's no problem. I'll take care of him easily."
This confidence that she spoke with, it wasn't light.
It was as if to her, she really could take care of him with a single wave of her hand.
After this party was over, we were picked up by our people who were waiting there for us.
There were some that just headed off on their own, there were some that took the Awakener Association's Transport Gates back to their own cities, and there were some that lived in this city that had people waiting for them.
For me, it was Su Chen who was waiting there for me.
When I came out, he immediately waved his hand to get my attention.
I couldn't help revealing a smile when I saw him waiting there for me and I walked over to him.
While walking over, Long Shui Ling also followed me.
When Su Chen saw Long Shui Ling walking over, the smile on his face turned stiff as if he recognized her.
But before we could go over to him, there was someone dressed as a butler that came up to us…or rather, he came over to pick up Long Shui Ling.
"Young miss, there you are! I've been looking all over for you!"
Long Shui Ling recognized this person as she said, "Sebastian, why are you here so early? Didn't I tell you to wait for me by the car?"
The butler called Sebastian quickly came forward and said, "How could I do that? Do you know how worried I was about you? I've heard all kinds of rumours…"
As his voice trailed off, I could have sworn that he looked at me.
But why did he do that?
What kind of rumours did he hear?
Were these rumours about me and Long Shui Ling?
If that was the case, then didn't that mean that Bing Lan and Bing Xue would also hear these rumours?
This might be bad for me…
Long Shui Ling pouted her lips and said, "What rumours? Why haven't I heard anything?"
Sebastian didn't answer this question as he said, "Your father wants to talk to you, so he's already waiting at home for you."
When her father was mentioned, Long Shui Ling's expression couldn't help changing. She said in a surprised voice, "Ah, daddy's waiting at home?"
Sebastian said with a nod, "Along with the madame. They are waiting for you with a celebration party."
Long Shui Ling revealed a happy smile when she heard this, but then she hesitated a bit as she turned back to look at me.
I said with a smile, "Go home and celebrate with your family. You have my contact information, right?"
Long Shui Ling gave a happy nod when she heard this before she said, "I'll be waiting." Then under her breath, she added in a voice that I could hear, "Though I might see you first."
Before I could even ask anything, Long Shui Ling had walked away with Sebastian.
I just shook my head with a bitter smile on my face before walking over to Su Chen who had been patiently waiting the entire time.
But when I walked over, Su Chen didn't react at all as he kept looking in the direction that Long Shui Ling and Sebastian walked off in.
It was only when they disappeared that Su Chen asked, "How do you know that person?"
I was surprised to hear Su Chen ask this, but I still calmly said, "I met her during the exam and we worked together for one of the stages. What's wrong? Do you know her?"
Su Chen looked at me with a strange look and asked, "You don't know who she is?"
I was even more surprised and knitted my brows a bit when I heard this.
It seemed that Su Chen had an idea of what Long Shui Ling's identity was.
So I shook my head and asked, "Do you know who she is?"
Su Chen didn't answer right away as the strange look on his face became heavier. After a long silence, he said, "That's the young miss of the Long Group."
"Long Group?" I repeated before suddenly revealing a look of recognition, "You mean that Long Group?"
Su Chen gave a slow nod before saying, "Yes, that Long Group."
This time, it was my turn to be shocked.
After all, the 'Long Group' that Su Chen was referring to was…the top company in the world.
This was a company that dipped its fingers in every single industry and was rumoured to even control different countries behind the scenes.
This was a company that was at the very top of the business world and even had ties to the political world.
And Su Chen was saying that Long Shui Ling was the young miss of that Long Group?
I narrowed my eyes to look at him before asking, "Are you sure of this?"
Su Chen once again gave a slow nod before saying, "The young miss of the Long Group is known for being elusive, but I've met her before. I had gone to the Long Group with the guild master and the vice guild master once and I met her there, so I'm certain that it's her."
I couldn't help being even more shocked when I heard this.
But secretly, I was laughing.
Wasn't this a jackpot?
I already knew that Long Shui Ling's identity wasn't simple, but this was beyond that.
Since I had already laid down my suggestions, it would only be a matter of time before she was under my control.
And when that time came…wouldn't I be able to control even the Long Group through her?
This was the top company in the world, it wasn't something to look down on.
Seeing that I didn't react at all, Su Chen slowly said, "You should be careful with her. She definitely isn't a simple person."
I just said with a smile, "We're just acquaintances that met during the exam, you don't need to worry about that."
Su Chen still looked at me with a strange look, but he gave a nod in the end.
