From Sidekick to Bigshot

to him announced, “Five thousand.
Right on the mark.”

Originally, Ji Ming hadn’t expected to reach the number.
However, with Luo Xiuen’s appearance, the incident had ended a little later than expected.

Luo Xiuen had used around ten minutes to beat up the delinquents.
Then, she had ordered them to apologize before she cleaned up the aftermath.

After Jian Yiling had left, Luo Xiuen had continued to interrogate the delinquents.

Overall, she had used up around an hour.

Master Sheng kept to his word.
It was until the incident was over.

Because the time had been extended, Ji Ming reached the target of five thousand.

The bodyguards reported the situation to Zhai Yunsheng.
After that, they retreated from the apartment.

Ji Ming was paralyzed on the floor for an hour.
He didn’t move at all.

Normally, it was strenuous for him to run a kilometer in a physical education class.
However, right now, he felt as though he had run tens and hundreds of kilometers.

When Ji Junfeng returned, he saw Ji Ming lying on the ground.
Ji Junfeng picked up a book that was placed on the coffee table and threw it at his son.

“You can break the law and commit crimes during normal times but this time you choose to mess with Master Sheng? Do you have nothing better to do? Do you know that if this project fails, you’ll have to beg for food in the future?!”

“How do I know that I was going to mess with Master Sheng… I was only messing with that brat from the Jian family.
I blame Yu Xi for this.
I thought I had good relations with the Yu family… Turns out, he harms me like this!”

Ji Ming weakly answered his father.
He was angry, however, he had no energy to dispute the situation.

Up until now, Ji Ming blamed Yu Xi for his suffering.

“Stop blaming people.
From now on, whenever you see Jian Yiling, take a detour! Otherwise, if Master Sheng doesn’t kill you, I will!” Ji Junfeng snarled.
“Also, as for Yu Xi, I’ll go find out what is going on.”

Ji Ming agreed reluctantly.
Although he didn’t know his family’s situation very well, he knew that they couldn’t mess this project up.
