Chapter 287: Invitation For Military Exhibition
" Where the hell you have been?"
Qin Bingyu looked at Jia Hao as he was standing before her in the office. " This is an academy, ok? It has some proper rules and regulations. You canât just vanish for a week and appear like nothing happened?"
" But I donât think Principal has any issues about this, does he?" Jia Hao shrugged.
" Ugh, these rich silkpants..." Qin Bingyu was speechless when she heard Jia Haoâs words.
Technically, he was telling the truth. After all, why not? Jia Hao is one of the most influential backgrounds here. Even the Principal shows him quite some respect.
Not to mention, with his academical scores, his skipping class wonât be condemned at all.
" Hmph, Even if he doesnât, I will. I will not bend the rules because you are a rich kid."
Jia Hao cracked a grin as he looked around. " Looks like there is no one around."
Qin Bingyuâs face turned alarmed. " What do you mean? What are you thinking, Jia Hao?"
" What do YOU think I am thinking?" Jia Hao smirked as he leaned toward Qin Bingyu.
Qin Bingyu panicked as her fair face turned red, " Yo-You...What are you doing? We are at school!"
" Doesnât that make it more thrilling?" Jia Hao gave a coy grin.
" Besides, Am I not your boyfriend, hm?"
" Th-That..." Qin Bingyu stammered as she looked away. " Didnât we talk about it beforehand? That thing...Itâs only when no one is around."
" I donât see anyone around." Jia Hao reasoned.
" But I am a teacher here and you are student, damn it!" Qin Bingyu muttered under her breath.
Jia Hao grinned. " How about this? You allow me one kiss and I will stop pestering you...Or, we can have some tension till someone arrives."
" Hmph, Rascal!" Qin Bingyu spat as she closed her eyes. " Be quick."
" Teacher Qin, I have brought the materials you have asked."
Suddenly, Chu Yunli opened the door and walked in.
" Huh? Brother Jia, you are also here?"
Her eyes blinked as she saw Qin Bingyu hurrying back, her face flushed bright red, the gentle pants could really make someoneâs imagination colorful.
" Are you...Alright?" Chu Yunli raised her brows. " What is he doing here?"
" I was here to report the reason for my absence." Jia Hao replied calmly.
" And Teacher Qin, are you alright?" Chu Yunli looked at her.
" I...I am fine. I think itâs just...Kinda hot here? Thatâs all." Qin Bingyu forced a smile.
Chu Yunli pointed at the air conditioner. " But the AC is on though?"
" I..."
Jia Hao stepped forward before Qin Bingyu could fumble. " Yunli, how about you give the things to Teacher Qin, so we can grab some drinks?"
Suddenly. Like flipping a switch, Chu Yunliâs expression changed from doubtful to sunshine smile. " Alright! Itâs on you, Brother Hao!"
Teacher Qin sighed in relief. However, Jia Haoâs frown only increased.

" So, Yunli, has anything...weird happened to you?" Jia Hao looked at her.
" Why do you ask, Brother Hao?" Chu Yunli sipped banana milk as she looked at Jia Hao.
" And even if something happened, why should I tell you?"
" You wonât?" Jia Hao was surprised. " Since when did Yunli start to keep secrets from me, huh?"
Chu Yunli squinted her eyes, â Like how you didnât tell me you went to Jincheng City and solved a big crime there?"
Jia Hao was taken aback for a moment before rubbing under his nose. " Looks like Uncle Chu spilled it to you, huh?"
" Hmph, I could have gone with you. Donât forget I can also easily find clues. If it was two of us, we could have solved the crimes together much faster."
" So, Does Yunli want to be a policewoman in the future?"
Chu Yunli was taken aback as she looked down. " I... I donât know. I feel police is...Itâs way to tied down."
" I mean, they were supposed to be the enforcer of justice, right? Can you really call them that?"
" Well, I am doing a side internship at the police station. I might become one, who knows?"
" But, I have to admit, huh? I have never seen dad praising someone like this. You are really very mysterious, Brother Hao." Chu Yunli looked at Jia Hao.
" Arenât you too, Yunli?"
Chu Yunli pursed her lips, but she didnât answer to Jia Hao. " But speaking of which, I think I am glad you arenât working with Eastern Sea Cityâs police."
" Why? Did you commit any crimes?" Jia Hao joked, in a tone of no jest.
Chu Yunli smirked as she calculated with her fingers. " Hmm, I mean, You heard about the Demoness of Hammer, right? She would be in real trouble if you track her down."
" I mean, she is doing so many things, punishing the evil and upholding the justice..."
Jia Hao looked at her for a moment before turning away. " Itâs not hard to walk in darkness, Yunli. However, walking in the darkness, one must never loose their caution."
" Because, itâs not unheard of people becoming one with the darkness while fighting against it."
Chu Yunli was stunned before a confident smile bloomed on her face.
" But I have no such fear. Because I have an anchor."
Jia Hao was surprised. " And, What is that?"
" You. Itâs you, Brother Hao."
Jia Hao was stunned for a minute before looking away. He couldnât help but rub his cheeks.
Chu Yunli blinked as her eyes widened, " Brother Hao, Did you...Did you just blush?"
" WHAT? NO!" Jia Hao hurriedly said. " Why would I?"
*SNAP! SNAP!*
But before he could react, Chu Yunli clicked photos of him.
" And now, This goes straight to the school forum. Hehe, Canât wait to see new stickers made out of you."
" CHU YUNLI YOU LITTLE..."

The remaining classes, Jia Hao pondered about Chu Yunli. He already looked at her with the Sageâs Divine Eyes, and the results were nothing less than shocking.
Name: Chu Yunli
Power: Intermediate Fighter (Growing), Shadow Fleet
Recent Overview: A beautiful and bright faced girl, with a devious cunningness. Recently, she absorbed a crystal from the dead shadow spirit, giving her some unnatural abilities.
Recent Future Points: Two weeks from now, she will fight against a group of highly trained goons and will be severely injured. Her life and death unknown.
" Ugh, What the hell is this? How did it become like this?"
The introduction of supernatural abilities in Urban Fantasy wasnât explored very well, as they were either too obscure or came in some sort of random events.
However, as a seasoned player, Jia Hao knew quite a lot about them. The supernatural activities were quite a hidden yet open secret.
However, even with his knowledge, it shouldnât have happened.
â But then, I completely changed Chu Yunliâs life, erasing a future of her turning into a villain. That means, whatever happens to her next, is completely new.â
At that moment, Jia Hao got a call from Lin Cheng.
" Xiao Hao, Are you free in the afternoon?"
" Why? Something happened, Uncle Lin?" Jia Hao was surprised.
" Well, It is something big. The guys from the military are here. They want to test our new steel. I have already prepared steel ropes and some products from them."
" Itâs actually a small defense exhibition. But if we caught their eyes...Hehe.."
Jia Hao raised his brows when he heard that. He realized having militaryâs attention will not only boost the Lin Constructions, but his Lianshan Corporation.
" Donât worry, I will be there."
