S-Class Judge: My ability is parasitism.

"I think it's about time, so Xiao Xu and I will head back first." Pan Yuan said goodbye to everyone and left with Xu Nuo.

"Alright, that's settled then. Everyone go back and get some rest. Have a great weekend!" Gao Shen said, and everyone then left.

Gao Shen was driving, tilting his head and pursing his lips, seemingly deep in thought, before finally speaking:

"Xu Nuo, I'm not trying to be mean, but I shouldn't be saying this to you. I just can't rest easy if I don't say it. I know you're a good person, but to put it bluntly, you're just an employee. Why work so hard? It's just for a little bit of pay."

"I was just unlucky, and it's always good to listen to the advice of my seniors. This was just an accident."

"You should be able to tell what kind of person Ni Shihua is. She's a very carefree girl, a bit reckless. It's only because Monkey takes care of her that nothing bad has happened to her. I have a general understanding of the situation. Remember! No matter what others say, if you sense any danger, run away immediately. Make sure you're safe first. The mission belongs to everyone, but your life is your own."

"I understand, Brother Pan, thank you!" Xu Nuo lowered his head. He could feel Pan Yuan's kindness. Perhaps this was fate, allowing him to meet such a wealthy young friend.

"What are you thanking me for? You're just like me. I genuinely consider you a brother. You know, I don't lack money, what I lack is a like-minded friend like you. You have principles, which suits me perfectly. Enough said, let's go home!"

"Yes! Let's go home!"

After returning to the villa, Xu Nuo took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and then lay down on the bed.

He was truly exhausted today; it was as if he had just escaped death.

Just as I closed my eyes, intending to drift off to sleep...

ding dong~

My phone suddenly received a pop-up message:

Are you asleep?

"Huh? Who is it?" Xu Nuo reluctantly opened her eyes and subconsciously reached for her phone.

"Ni Shihua? What does she want with me?"

This sudden news left Xu Nuo completely bewildered, and all her sleepiness vanished. Sometimes, you have to admit that the fewer people you know, the easier life becomes.

Thinking that she must have something to say to contact me so late at night, I replied to her message:

"Not yet, is there something you need?"

Ni Shihua replied: It's nothing serious, just wondering if you're free tomorrow? I'd like to invite you out for a meal to express my apologies.

Xu Nuo breathed a sigh of relief, thinking the other party wanted to trouble her with something, so she replied:

No need, this is work, it's my job, you don't need to blame yourself.

Ni Shihua: Are you rejecting me?

He also sent a sad emoji.

Xu Nuo felt a headache coming on. Are all women this annoying? He had already said he didn't care, but she kept taking breaks. She'd been up all day, and he needed to rest too!

Of course, this is just what he really thinks; it wouldn't be funny if he actually said it out loud.

So I replied: It's hard to refuse such a beautiful woman's invitation.

Ni Shihua: Okay, it's settled then. I'll send you my location later.

Xu Nuo: Okay.

Then he sent another emoji: Goodnight!

Xu Nuo: Good night.

……

The next day at noon, Ni Shihua sent Xu Nuo her location, which was a buffet restaurant.

Before leaving, Xu Nuo first said goodbye to Pan Yuan:

"Brother Pan! I'm going out to run some errands, so don't bother leaving me any food."

"Oh! Okay." Pan Yuan responded from inside the house. His sparse voice reached Xu Nuo's ears. That's right, Young Master Pan was brushing walnuts again.

Xu Nuo sighed inwardly: People really need a hobby. That way, they won't be idle or bored. It's great!

As soon as I got out of the taxi, I heard Ni Shihua calling out to me:

"Hey! I'm here."

She waved to Xu Nuo, who took small steps forward.

"They're here!"

Ni Shihua's outfit today was quite refreshing. She wore a white dress with a half-up ponytail and white flat shoes, looking pure and lovely.

"Hehe~, I'll pay, you go in and grab a spot first."

"good!"

After entering, Xu Nuo looked around. There weren't many people there yet, perhaps because they hadn't arrived at the restaurant. So he found a seat against the wall, where it would be relatively quiet.

No sooner had he sat down than a woman sat down opposite him.

Xu Nuo was also confused. He had seen this woman before. Just now, when he was meeting with Ni Shihua, this woman walked right in.

The reason I remember her so clearly is because this woman was truly elegant. She wore a black suit dress with a brown blazer, black high heels, and black gemstone earrings that were quite dazzling.

She exudes such a powerful aura that it's hard not to attract attention.

What puzzled Xu Nuo was why such high-society people would appear in such a place, and even more absurdly, they were sitting right in front of him.

"Hello sir, would you be interested in getting to know me?" The woman's voice was beautiful, almost intoxicating, but her demeanor always made people unconsciously keep their distance, giving off a feeling that she was someone to be admired from afar but not to be trifled with.

"Hello, ma'am, this spot is taken. Please find another place." But would Xu Nuo be the kind of person who cares about your looks? You may be beautiful, but please don't take my spot; it's very impolite.

The woman was somewhat surprised to hear Xu Nuo's order to leave. Her eyes visibly glazed over for a moment, clearly not expecting Xu Nuo to say that. This man was quite interesting.

Despite the slight embarrassment, the woman did not show any panic; instead, she calmly replied:

"Sir, I'm the owner of the bar across the street. I hope you'll be interested in visiting our bar more often. Here's my business card; you can get a discount if you show it."

For some reason, the woman leaned down again and said in a soft, seductive voice, "We offer special services!"

After saying that, the woman turned around, stuffed the business card into Xu Nuo's breast pocket, and prepared to leave.

Just then, Ni Shihua arrived. Seeing this scene, she looked displeased, pouting and crossing her arms with a look of disgust.

"You rascal, Xu Nuo! I invited you out to dinner, and you were out flirting with girls!"

"Hey! No, I didn't. She came by herself. I don't even know her," Xu Nuo tried her best to explain. What kind of nonsense is this?

"Beautiful lady, don't get me wrong, I'm just here to promote this restaurant. I'm the owner, and I'm here to survey customers' dining experiences. Oh! The bar across the street is also mine; feel free to come and try it! Enjoy your meal!"

"Really? Why did you specifically ask him for advice instead of someone else?" Ni Shihua still didn't believe it; this woman was too strange.

The woman didn't say much; she had already achieved her goal.
