With the conversation reaching this point, it was quite obvious—you could come to see Zhao Jun, but letting him out was out of the question.

Wu Xu sighed in his heart, good brother, continue being a homebody, and consider it an experience of life.

Wu Xu didn't ask for more and smiled, "Since Auntie won't let him go, then let him be grounded a while longer. He needs to reflect properly."

Wu Xu's words actually echoed his own thoughts, making Qian Jifang very happy. She looked at Wu Xu even more favorably and insisted that he stay for lunch, planning to prepare it herself.

However, with Zhao Jun grounded and unable to accompany him, and with plans to seek justice for Zhao Jun, Wu Xu excused himself, promising to stop by for a meal next time, before leaving Zhao Jun's house.

After leaving Zhao Jun's home, Wu Xu called Zhao Qian, arranging a place and time to meet, and then hailed a cab directly to Junshan University.

Speaks of the man himself, acting as a bodyguard and getting injured and hospitalized, he had neglected his actual job. All this time, it was Coach Chen Gao who had been taking care of things for him, and he felt quite embarrassed.

Now that he was out of the hospital, it was better to go to the university to check in.

Half an hour later, Wu Xu arrived at the gates of Junshan University.

Having been away for half a month, returning to Junshan University gave Wu Xu a sense of surreal disjointedness.

The university promoted a scholarly atmosphere, spreading a spirit of peace and aspiration, but he had gone off to play assassin, engaging in fights and killings—it was truly shameful.

He quickly walked to the Junshan University sports office. The place was bustling with people, Coach Chen Gao, Ding Ye, and others were all there, each training in their small groups.

"Wu Xu, you've been discharged," exclaimed Coach Chen Gao as soon as he saw Wu Xu, pleasantly surprised.

Wu Xu hurried forward, respectfully and gratefully saying, "I'm sorry to have worried you, coach. I'm fine now."

"Ha ha, it's good that you're fine. I knew you were tough, a minor injury like that couldn't possibly bring you down," Coach Chen Gao happily remarked.

The "minor injury" mentioned by Coach Chen Gao was the official story given by the Junshan police. Wu Xu got injured while assisting the police, naturally, because Wu Xu's dangerous potential overexertion couldn't be disclosed. As a result, the credit for the achievement was claimed by the Junshan police, hence the prior compensation of 500,000 yuan to Wu Xu.

"Assistant Wu, you're back," Ding Ye and the others came over, happily chatting and joking with Wu Xu, showing their youthful vivacity and cheer.

After a brief chat, Wu Xu inquired Coach Chen Gao about his job situation.

Having not worked for several days, and as an assistant who was supposed to be instrumental, but having been virtually absent, he didn't know what the university administration thought.

Coach Chen Gao grinned and said, "Just focus on recovering; your assistant position is still reserved for you, don't worry."

Wu Xu, however, wasn't so optimistic and bitterly smiled, "But for this period, I haven't done anything beneficial; is it appropriate for me to hold this assistant position?"

"Why wouldn't it be appropriate? Assistant Wu, do you know that you're now a big celebrity at our Junshan University? The university leaders are more than eager to keep you, they'd hate to see you go," Ding Ye quipped with an odd smile.

"Is that so? I haven't been to work, yet my position has become even more secure. Are there really such good deals?" Wu Xu was puzzled.

Ding Ye didn't speak in riddles and quickly explained the reason.

Turns out, the credit was still attributed to Wu Xu. He had actively assisted Junshan police in cracking a major assassination case, and was injured in the line of duty. Although all of this was done by Wu Xu, he belonged to Junshan University, and his achievements were considered Junshan University's achievements.

Hence, upon learning of Wu Xu's contributions, the university was thrilled, widely publicizing Wu Xu's unyielding spirit against evil and his spirit of sacrifice. It was almost as if Wu Xu was portrayed as a product of Junshan University's training. They even approached Coach Chen Gao to suggest Wu Xu give a talk at Junshan University to boost the vibe, promoting goodwill and justice among people's hearts.

In such a scenario, not to mention asking Wu Xu to leave, they would gladly pile on more responsibilities on him, hoping to keep him around to continue contributing to Junshan University.

All this left Wu Xu somewhat stunned, surprised by his own influence.

The leadership at Junshan University really deserves to be in charge, able to make use of anything, truly by any means necessary.

But with this, Wu Xu heaved a sigh of relief, no longer needing to leave.

The position of assistant coach, Wu Xu did not want to give up, for him, this was no longer just a tool to make money, but more of a habit, a habit developed over the years. As long as he wasn't fired, even without a salary, it would be fine. He believed that the leaders of Junshan University, for the sake of honor, wouldn't fuss over an honorary position of an assistant coach.

"Right, now that you've been discharged, what do you think about giving a speech?" Coach Chen Gao said with some excitement.

Wu Xu had been coached by him, even though he didn't pursue a path in baseball, but he truly treated him as a disciple, and seeing this disciple succeed was inevitably moving for him.

Wu Xu silently wrinkled his nose, somewhat speechless. Give a speech, talking about what? His fight with the Assassin? Nonsense.

However, he couldn't refuse the good intentions of Coach Chen Gao, and could only vaguely agree, letting Coach Chen discuss with the school authorities, but he would need a few more days, as he just got discharged and still needed to recuperate.

Coach Chen Gao agreed promptly, as long as there was a commitment, because the speech was a matter of honor. If done well, it would reflect good on him, so a few days' delay, no big deal.

After some idle chat, Wu Xu excused himself from the gym, citing discomfort.

"Assistant Wu."

Not too far out, Wu Xu heard someone calling him, with a voice quite familiar. Turning around, he immediately smiled, feeling a ripple in his heart.

The person who appeared was Liu Yanyan, the woman with whom he had almost reached the ultimate intimacy.

Checking to make sure no one was around, Wu Xu whispered, "Sister Yanyan, missed me, didn't you?"

Liu Yanyan shivered, coquettishly rolling her eyes at Wu Xu, reproachfully saying, "Like I would miss you." Then, with a worried expression, she said, "I heard you were injured, how are you now?" The concern in her eyes was intense, very sincere.

Wu Xu felt somewhat touched, this 'big sister' truly cared about him. He hastily replied, "I'm fine now, look how strong I am," while twisting his arm and striking a pose.

Pfft!

Liu Yanyan couldn't help but laugh, chidingly saying, "Stop fooling around, come on, let's go to my place. I'll make you a nice meal to help you recover."

Wu Xu immediately showed an embarrassed look, "Sister, I've made plans with someone else, I'm about to go."

"Made plans with someone? Who is it?" Liu Yanyan casually fiddled with her hair by her temple and asked nonchalantly. Yet, her complexion changed slightly, revealing a hint of wistfulness.

Wu Xu couldn't help but feel amused, already jealous, huh? Could this young lady really be deeply devoted to me?

"I made plans with Captain Zhao Qian, for official business, stop overthinking," said Wu Xu, but felt it to be a bit strange, the woman in front of him was someone else's wife, yet the way he was talking felt a bit like he was adopting the role of a husband!

Liu Yanyan, her cheeks blushing slightly, seemed a little embarrassed.

"How about this, Sister Yanyan, pick a time and place tonight, and I'll come to you," Wu Xu whispered, enticed by Liu Yanyan's seductive charm.

Liu Yanyan glared with sultry eyes, in a bizarre tone she said, "Do you dare?"

"If you dare to set it up, I'll dare to come," Wu Xu declared bravely, as if a dead pig not afraid of scalding water.

"Fine, see you at Lover Mountain at eight tonight." With that, Liu Yanyan giggled and turned away.

Wu Xu stood there dumbfounded, watching Liu Yanyan's retreating figure, lost for words.

Eight o'clock at night, meeting at Lover Mountain? What does this imply?
