Transmigrated as the fake young master, I'll beat up the scumbags and b*tches-Chapter 339Vol. 1 - - Breakthrough

Hearing the unfamiliar voice, HuMing was certain he had never heard it before. Yet somehow, the tone—it carried a strange sense of familiarity, like he'd heard it somewhere long ago.

“Who are you? Why are you with Kang Xin?”

“Ara~ This must be the first time you've heard my voice, huh? But HuMing, you're in quite a bit of danger right now. If the current situation isn’t resolved, your future will be... unstable, to say the least.”

“You still haven’t answered my question. Who are you?”

“Tsk tsk, still as blunt as ever, I see. Doesn’t my voice stir anything in you? Or… are you already dying to fly back and drag me out in person?”

“You talk too much. Just like—”

HuMing stopped mid-sentence.

His brow furrowed sharply, and his expression grew tense.

A figure was forming in his mind. Faint at first, but clearer by the second. Still, HuMing found it hard to believe.

She came to him on her own? She already knew he was here?

“…What’s wrong? Suddenly went quiet. Don’t tell me—you figured it out?”

“You’re just as annoying as before. Could’ve just said your name and saved me the trouble.”

“No can do. Didn’t I teach you that some answers need to be found on your own? The ones you discover for yourself mean far more than the ones I hand to you. But I guess… it looks like you’ve already found your purpose.”

HuMing drew in a deep breath, then finally said the name.

“HuMin. So you’ve known all along and never once tried to find me? What were you thinking?”

There was a trace of anger in his voice. She had known the truth, so why hide away? What was the point?

“Don’t be mad~ I had my reasons. I’ve been running for my life these past few years. If you hadn’t disrupted Francis’s plan, I wouldn’t even have the chance to talk with you like this.”

“Francis? Wait… that person, you mean…?”

“Mhm. Francis is Shi Zhong. He’s here too, just like us. Doing exactly what he did back then. So now it’s my turn—to go save the world~!”

“Are you insane?! Wait for me. We’ll handle this together!”

“No, no, HuMing. You have to stay put. Keep playing the young master of the Gu family. That’s the only way Francis won’t grow suspicious. And that Gu ZhaoChuan—he’s Shi Zhong’s eyes and ears. If you disappear now, things will spiral fast.”

HuMin had already considered everything. As long as Francis didn’t know HuMing’s true identity, it remained a critical advantage. But the cost of that was pushing HuMin right back into danger—and this time, she was planning to drag Kang Xin into it too?

Did she have any idea just how dangerous this really was?

HuMing fell silent—not because he felt powerless, but because he realized something:

He and HuMin thought in completely different ways.

While he was still trying to solve everything himself, HuMin had already chosen to pull others into the game.

Was that really the right move?

For someone like Kang Xin, this could be a matter of life and death. Why had she agreed?

The person on the other end must’ve sensed his hesitation, because her playful voice took on a more serious tone.

“HuMing… you’ve seen it too, haven’t you? The girls around you—they’re not going to get a fair fight. Your enemies will go after them first. If they don’t learn to grow stronger… they won’t be able to stay by your side.”

“…I understand.” HuMing sighed deeply. As much as he didn’t want to admit it, if Shi Zhong really was Francis, then he had no doubt about how vicious the man could be. freewebnøvel.coɱ

After all, this was the same man who had nearly killed him with a human bomb.

Someone like that… would never show mercy.

Which meant HuMin was right.

“…Don’t be so down~ I’ve seen those girls around you. They’re amazing. Sometimes, you just have to trust them a little more. You’d be surprised how much they’re capable of.”

Trust…

HuMing hadn’t expected to hear that word here of all places.

But maybe HuMin had a point. His overprotectiveness might be doing more harm than good.

At least now, it was clear—they had to learn how to protect themselves.

“…Fine. Kang Xin stays with you. But promise me—you’ll protect her. And the same goes for you!”

“Don’t worry~ I’ll make sure we both come back safe and sound.” Her voice turned teasing again. “Still… HuMing, you really are greedy, huh? Surrounded by all those girls… trying to build your own harem?”

“Ugh, you’re so annoying!”

“Hahaha. Anyway, I’ve got to go now. Hope the next time we meet, you’ll bring me some good news.”

“Wait—Teacher!” HuMing suddenly called out.

“…Teacher? Wow, I don’t think you’ve called me that since you were a kid.”

“…I’m really glad I got to hear your voice again.”

“You brat… Next time we meet, you’d better explain everything—how the hell did you even get to this world?!”

Click.

The line went dead, replaced by the dull hum of static.

HuMing slowly lowered the phone, exhaling deeply. His whole body felt exhausted.

Still, maybe… maybe having Kang Xin with HuMin wasn’t such a bad thing.

He just hoped—truly hoped—she would come back safe.

…

“Kang Xin’s gone?” Gu ZhaoChuan frowned as he listened to the conversation at the dining table.

That girl, always glued to HuMing’s side, had vanished now of all times?

Sure, HuMing said she’d left the Gu household for a while to broaden her horizons, but Gu ZhaoChuan wasn’t buying it.

Clearly, HuMing was up to something behind the scenes.

And Gu ZhaoChuan couldn’t afford to stay passive anymore. Now that Shi Zhong had gone dark, if he didn’t act, there wouldn’t be another opportunity.

He made up his mind.

It was time to play his final card.

Back when he’d been training One-Eye, Gu ZhaoChuan had prepared a second assassin to keep him in check.

That assassin had always worked behind the scenes, handling quiet matters for him—rarely seen, never known.
