Zhang Zhishen was waiting for Yang Ming’s phone call at the hotel. He dared not to have the slightest negligence since his mission was to protect Yang Ming. Lan Ling’s instructions were the direction of his life, so when Zhang Zhishen returned to the hotel, he turned the phone’s ringtone to the maximum and placed it in front of him, waiting for a phone call to come in.
A hurried and brief phone ringtone came. Zhang Zhishen quickly picked up the phone and glanced at the caller ID on it. It was Yang Ming’s number which Zhang Zhishen saved today. Zhang Zhishen breathed a sigh of relief. Yang Ming finally called.

In fact, this number had long been there. Lan Ling had told him once, but he just didn’t know that the person he met today was Yang Ming, so he saved it again.
If Yang Ming didn’t call, Zhang Zhishen didn’t know what to do. Although he had Yang Ming’s phone number, he was afraid to bother Yang Ming on his business. However, while he was hesitating, Yang Ming’s phone came in.

Hello, Mr. Yang.
Zhang Zhishen picked up the phone.



Brother Zhang Zhishen, where are you? I have finished the matter here. Can I go to you now?
asked Yang Ming.

I’m at the student hotel near Song Jiang Industry University. Master has told me that you live near here. She asked me to come here and find you,
said Zhang Zhishen.

 Oh 
, okay, then you wait for me. I’m coming over now. Which room are you in?
Yang Ming knew about the student hotel. It was just near the campus.

Room 1106 in the basement,
said Zhang Zhishen.

Okay, wait for me. I will arrive in about twenty minutes.
When Yang Ming finished, he hung up and rushed in the direction of Song Jiang Industry University.
Lan Ling probably thought that Yang Ming lived in the original place, so she had Zhang Zhishen find himself someplace nearby. Soon, Yang Ming found the student hotel. There were only a few hotels near the school. When the university started, the hotel’s waiters came to the school to advertise.
In the beginning, Zhang Bing also got a few brochures, claiming to have sex with Zhao Sisi in the hotel.
Yang Ming also remembered the approximate location of these hotels in case of an emergency. He did not expect it to be useful now. Yang Ming entered the student hotel. The boss welcomed with a smile,
Student, are you staying in the house or taking a break? How many people?


I came to find someone.
Yang Ming shook his head and said,
1106.


 Oh 
, it is just downstairs. You just need to go down the stairs in front of you.
The proprietress saw that he didn’t come here for a stay. so she no longer wasted her effort.


Yang Ming went down the stairs. He found room 1106 and knocked on the door. Soon, the door to the room opened. Zhang Zhishen probed as he stuck his head out from the inside. When he saw Yang Ming, he opened the door.
Mr. Yang, you are here. Please come in!

After Yang Ming entered the door, Zhang Zhishen closed the door and said,
Brother Yang, have you read the letter that Master wrote to you?

Yang Ming did not speak, but he waved his hand and made a gesture for silence.
Although the small hotels near the school were generally very credible, they would not install things like tapping devices and cameras in the room. The reason was that once they were discovered by students, the reputation of the hotel would be completely tarnished. The news on campus spread the fastest, and not long after, the hotel basically wouldn’t be able to operate. However, there were exceptions; just like the clothing store they went to today. There were still cameras in it.
Yang Ming began to search carefully over every corner of the room. Because the topic that Zhang Zhishen wanted to talk about in a while was rather secretive, Yang Ming had to be careful.

Mr. Yang, rest assured. I have looked for it… I’m more careful this time…
Zhang Zhishen saw Yang Ming’s action at the moment and knew that Yang Ming was looking for a camera. and so on. However, after saying this, his face turned red. So what if I looked for it before? Wasn’t I unable to find it today after searching? It was discovered by Yang Ming in the end.

Yang Ming nodded. There was really no equipment for eavesdropping and recording in this room. Only then was Yang Ming at ease, and he sat on the sofa in the room.

Xiao Qi, go get a drink for Mr. Yang.
Zhang Zhishen informed his girlfriend.

Don’t bother. I just had a meal. I’m not thirsty.
Yang Ming waved his hand and said,
Let’s talk about business.


Okay.
Zhang Zhishen was a relatively simple person. He was honest with his words with no hypocrisy. Yang Ming didn’t want to drink, so he didn’t insist on it. Instead, he sat next to Yang Ming and said,
Mr. Yang, have you read the letter Master gave you?




I have read it!
Yang Ming nodded.
But before the conversation starts, we need to change the way you address me. For example, you keep calling me Mr. Yang which sounds awkward for me. You can address me as Yang Ming or Brother Yang. It seems that you shouldn’t be older than me.

Zhang Zhishen nodded,
Okay, then I will call you Brother Yang. I am eighteen years old!


I am twenty. It doesn’t run short on your end to call me Brother Yang.
Yang Ming smiled and said,
And, in front of outsiders, don’t call Lan Ling as Master. Just follow the previous name; you call her Ms. Lan.


Okay, I understand.
Zhang Zhishen agreed after listening. He also knew that in today’s society, it was easy for others to misunderstand and doubt about a master and apprenticeship, so he nodded and understood.

Well, we can continue to talk about the topic just now.
Yang Ming said,
Lan Ling said that you are good at curing voodoo curses?


Compared with the master… Ms. Lan, it is far inferior…
Zhang Zhishen said with an honest smile and scratched his head.

I didn’t ask you to compare with Lan Ling.
Yang Ming smiled bitterly.
I mean when you compare with others.


Among the apprentices, I am still pretty good.
Zhang Zhishen said,
However, in terms of administering voodoo, Xiao Qi is better than me. Hence, Miss Lan asked both of us to come here and help you.

Yang Ming nodded.
Okay, I probably get the situation. However, my current status is just an ordinary college student. I’m not some wealthy young master. I can’t always go around with my bodyguards, so you can follow me secretly. However, don’t let others see it.


That is no problem. I understand!
Zhang Zhishen said,
Xiao Qi and I will secretly protect you. We are very sensitive to people who use voodoo. As long as there are no people who use voodoo, we will not react… Brother Yang, I don’t want to hide this from you, but I am not very good at ordinary fights.



After Yang Ming listened, he laughed and said,
I don’t need you in ordinary fights. When I need you, I will call you, such as helping me to kill others with voodoo.


This… is not very good… Master said we can’t arbitrarily cast voodoo on the innocent!
Zhang Zhishen spoke as if he were in a dilemma.

People who are against me will naturally not be innocent people!
Yang Ming snorted and said,
Am I wrong?


That’s also true. Brother Yang is the person who we need to protect. Those who go against Brother Yang is our enemy. He deserves to die in the hand of voodoo.
Zhang Zhishen thought of it and nodded in agreement.

Tomorrow, I will ask someone to get you a car, then I will install a satellite locator on my car so that you can accurately grasp the position I’m in at any time. It is more convenient for you to track.
Yang Ming thought about it and said.
Zhang Zhishen was very surprised. He didn’t expect Yang Ming to think so thoroughly. He was still worried about these things, but Yang Ming took the initiative to give a solution. So he quickly said,
That’s the way. Brother Yang, you are too thoughtful. With that, it is much more convenient.


Lan Ling sent you to me, so then we are on the same side. I can’t mistreat my own man!
Yang Ming smiled and patted Zhang Zhishen’s shoulder.

Right, when you are in Song Jiang, are you in contact with Lan Ling’s grandmother?
Yang Ming thought about it.

Not really. I just contact Ms. Lan one-sidedly. My task is just to protect your safety. Ms. Lan did not ask me to participate in other matters.
Zhang Zhishen shook his head and explained.
It is better if Zhang Zhishen doesn’t participate. His current skills are definitely not the opponents of the enemy. Even Lan Ling’s grandmother isn’t very confident, let alone them.



Right, tomorrow, I will ask a friend to help you find some housing. It is near the place where I often stay, so it is convenient for you to follow. But it may not be too big. It is about tens of square meters because my family’s house is also an old house. It is not a big apartment.
Yang Ming thought about it. Zhang Zhishen couldn’t always stay in the hotel since it was inconvenient to do things. It was proper to arrange a place for him.
Yang Ming was about to call Hou Zhenhan tomorrow to buy a small apartment in Hua Shang District. He wanted to buy or rent a house in his original community as a temporary resting place for Zhang Zhishen.

That’s great!
Zhang Zhishen said,
How is it small when it is in tens of square meters?! At the very least, it’s much better than the environment here. However, Brother Yang, you have to pay for it… Ms. Lan didn’t give us much money…


 Hehe 
, I still have money. Treat what Lan Ling gave you as pocket money. I will give you a bank card and deposit some money for you every month. You can take it to pay for the fuel,
said Yang Ming.
Zhang Zhishen nodded and did not reject it. He also knew that Yang Ming and Lan Ling had an unusual relationship, so he didn’t need to be courteous with Yang Ming. In front of Yang Ming, it was the same as Lan Ling.
After the overall matter was settled, Yang Ming was ready to get up and leave. Zhang Zhishen proposed to walk Yang Ming out. Yang Ming hesitated, but he finally nodded. He wanted Zhang Zhishen to be familiar with the environment.
As a result, Yang Ming and Zhang Zhishen went out together from the hotel while Xiao Qi stayed at the hotel to watch over the room.

You drive and familiarize yourself with the terrain of Song Jiang.
Yang Ming threw the car keys to Zhang Zhishen and directed him.
