Chapter 29: The Cooked Duck Has Flown Away

"Xu Nuo, you had better pray that Yu Yu doesn't find out it was you. Otherwise, you won't be leaving here so easily today."

"Furthermore, you are no longer needed as my assistant. I will inform the Dean accordingly."

Xie Yuai’s voice was devoid of any warmth, his eyes filled with nothing but disgust as he looked at Xu Nuo.
