The School Beauty's Super Rogue

"Thank you, sister!"

"Goodbye, pretty sister..."

Under the teacher's prompting, the children left in groups, but the words they left behind kept Shirley smiling.

Although she didn't understand Chinese, she understood basic words like 'thank you' and 'goodbye' and realized her goodwill had earned the children's affection.

Qin Hao looked at her in disbelief and said, "Princess, don't you have many kids back home to be this excited?"

But Shirley shook her head: "I only have one sister who's two years younger than me. So I haven't spent much time with children. They're really adorable..."

"I see."

Qin Hao thought of Dong Zijie's existence and mumbled, "Adorable? You've never met the legendary unruly kids; otherwise, you'd have a headache for sure."

"Come on, let's play that!"

Shirley wasn't interested in grabbing dolls anymore, especially since the vendor's eyes looked so anxious.

She saw many people playing pool not far away and excitedly walked over.

Qin Hao could only reluctantly follow her at a slow pace.

"So this is how you play!"

Shirley observed one of the tables for a while and figured out how pool was played.

Qin Hao was speechless but understood: Even pool was new to her—seems like the princess is really an innocent girl?

"Come, let's play together!" Shirley paid, claiming a pool table.

She waved her hand and shouted to Qin Hao.

Qin Hao waved helplessly: "You start, I'll go to the restroom first!"

"Alright then."

Shirley's face showed slight displeasure, but she still enthusiastically started playing pool.

Qin Hao immediately found the restroom, closed the door, and took out his phone.

"Hello, Boss? I think I've found Qi Tianzong's location."

"Great!"

Qin Hao was overjoyed; a few days ago, he had asked Fatty to keep an eye out, hoping to find Qi Tianzong's whereabouts.

As the Night Emperor, he couldn't delay matters of revenge, even if the target was an alliance member.

He didn't play pool with Shirley because he got a text from Fatty saying "found the person."

"Where is he now?"

"That guy's hiding in a safe house in the western part of the city. But I can't be completely sure, only seventy percent certain."

"What do you mean?"

"It's like this. I couldn't trace the old Fox, so I started investigating the people around him. Just a moment ago, my satellite tracking found one of the people under investigation sneaking into a certain room in the west city. That room has no surveillance and has jamming tools, so it must be an Ancient Martial Alliance safe house."

"So, you deduce that person was going to find Qi Tianzong?"

"Yes, that person seems to be a core member of the Alliance. I'll send you a picture."

After hanging up, the picture came through, showing a middle-aged man with a gloomy face.

Seeing this person, Qin Hao remembered that he had seen him in a meeting yesterday, sitting close to the head position, indicating a high rank.

"I've seen this person; he holds considerable power internally. Seems right, he's of Qi Tianzong's faction, sent to report to the old Fox."

After replying to Fatty, Qin Hao washed up quickly and left the restroom.

On the way back to the pool area, Qin Hao kept thinking about revenge.

Undoubtedly, now that Qi Tianzong's whereabouts were exposed, seeking vengeance immediately was the most effective and direct method.

However, he had promised Shirley to look after her, and finding an excuse to leave like this would be quite dishonest, wouldn't it?

Moreover, leaving now, with Shirley's testimonial, would create a lot of trouble for himself in the future when the Alliance investigates.

Though Qin Hao wasn't afraid of the Ancient Martial Alliance's retaliation, being an insider now, such open betrayal would harm the Night Emperor's reputation.

Thinking carefully, Qin Hao believed killing Qi Tianzong should be done covertly, without letting Chen Ruohao find any clues.

Given the current situation, the best time for action was at dawn. Firstly, Shirley, Tywin, and others wouldn't know his movements. Secondly, he could avoid surveillance when leaving the hotel, and later investigations would only show him staying in his room through the monitors.

This alibi couldn't be more perfect, could it?

With his decision made, Qin Hao didn't hurry to leave and quickly returned to the pool area.

When he got back, he saw Shirley practicing, while three men in vests stood by pointing and talking.

These three wore mocking smiles, chatting away.

"This foreign chick looks pretty but seems pretty dumb, huh?"

"She probably hasn't even seen a pool table before."

The trio chatted eagerly.

Shirley didn't understand, but from their expressions and actions, she could tell she was being looked down upon.

She felt angry and slightly embarrassed. Usually, she could call for her bodyguard, but today the bodyguard was unreliable and left her to go to the restroom.

She truly felt anxious and angry.

Just then, the three vest-wearing men surrounded her, Shirley was shocked, pretending to bend over the pool table while actually eyeing them with peripheral vision, extremely tense.

"Hey there!"

The man known as Boss Huang had a nose ring and wore cool combat boots, looking like a rock youth but unfortunately was too short, only reaching Shirley's shoulders.

Seeing him greet her, Shirley ignored him and continued playing pool.

She didn't want to interact with these shady characters.

Shirley's aloofness provoked another vest man to shout angrily: "Damn, big foreign chick, you're ignoring me, huh?"

Another one laughed: "Yin the Third, you idiot, she doesn't understand Chinese."

He turned to Shirley and spoke in broken English: "Girl, you can't play, let us teach you?"

Shirley barely understood, quickly shook her head, and smiled forcefully: "No, thank you."

"Being disrespectful, huh!"

Before the junior had translated, Boss Huang, who understood, rubbed his fists angrily.

Shirley felt extremely uncomfortable under his gaze.

Damned bodyguard, why aren't you back yet!

Shirley fumed inside, glancing nervously toward the restroom, then her expression dramatically changed.

There, Qin Hao stood with arms crossed, watching with a face eager for drama, showing no intention to step up.
