Faced with this question, Zhou Yi merely chuckled.
"He's just a grumpy old man."
This kind of answer naturally wouldn't satisfy Lin Wanru.
Judging from Zhou Yi's recent behavior, she had already concluded that this old man was definitely not simple.
She guessed that, as he said, he was some kind of grandmaster?
Even at over 80 years old, he could easily subdue this group of thugs.
How powerful must he have been when he was young?
However, Lin Wanru also knew that he probably wouldn't tell her the truth, so she didn't press the matter further.
This old man is very mysterious.
"By the way, I still don't know your name, sir."
"My surname is Chu, my given name is a simple one."
"Old Master Chu, my name is Lin Wanru. No matter what, thank you for saving me."
Although...
Something had happened between the two of them earlier...
Lin Wanru quickly shook her head, trying to shake off those unpleasant images from her mind.
But no matter what, he had ultimately saved her.
If he hadn't been there, the consequences would have been dire.
Therefore, she still felt a glimmer of gratitude towards Chu Yi.
At this moment, she heard Chu Yi speak.
"Miss Lin, I see you have an extraordinary demeanor; you must be a young lady from a prominent family."
Lin Wanru was startled, then quickly nodded: "How did you know?"
Chu Yi chuckled: "Don't worry about that."
"I see you don't have anyone to protect you. If you encounter some thugs, that wouldn't be good. How about you hire me to protect you?"
"Hire you to protect me?" Lin Wanru was stunned for a few seconds.
This old man, though his words weren't exactly serious,
his abilities seemed quite good.
At least, she had only seen such skills in the bodyguards of the Lin family's patriarch.
Not to mention his frail, elderly appearance, which was perfect for cover.
It seems... it really is true?
But after all, that kind of thing had happened between them before.
She had a nagging feeling in her heart.
After hesitating for a while, Lin Wanru tentatively asked, "What kind of treatment do you want?"
"No requirements, just food and lodging will do!" Suddenly, Chu Yi's words took a different turn. "Except..."
"Except?" Lin Wanru asked, puzzled.
Chu Yi leaned closer to Lin Wanru's ear and whispered his request.
Upon hearing it, Lin Wanru's eyes widened.
"What?!"
"You! You actually want me to do... that kind of thing with you every day!"
Seeing Lin Wanru's distress, Chu Yi quickly said, "Not every day, every two days is fine, or even three days is acceptable!"
"You! You..." Lin Wanru became even angrier.
"Okay, okay, my bottom line is once every four days, is that alright?"
Chu Yi said, waving his hands.
Anyway, according to the reward system, each time I interact with someone, my lifespan will increase by 5 days.
This interaction every 4 days is pretty much my bottom line.
Otherwise, who knows when a sudden situation might arise, and I'll be really cold.
This is unavoidable.
However, to Lin Wanru, this was simply a lewd joke.
She pointed at Zhou Yi and shouted angrily, "You rotten old man! I thought you were a good person, but all you have in your head is this stuff!"
"And yet, and yet you still want to be with me..."
"Please stay away from me in the future, I don't want to see you again!"
Saying this, Lin Wanru slammed the door and left.
Zhou Yi, standing behind her, shouted, "Hey, don't go yet! We can still negotiate!"
"If that's really not possible, once every five days isn't impossible!"
After leaving the house following the I Ching reading, she grew increasingly angry.
She had originally intended to find a way to get rid of this old man, but then she remembered she still had leverage over him.
In the end, she had to give up.
"This damned old man, really..."
She kicked forward fiercely, as if kicking the old man, Chu Yi.
But this time, it was unexpected.
She directly scraped against the edge of the sidewalk, breaking the heel of her high-heeled shoe.
Lin Wanru's body swayed, almost falling into the green foliage.
Her silk stockings were also torn by the green foliage, revealing her pure white, jade-like skin.
"What bad luck!"
Lin Wanru immediately felt incredibly wronged.
However, she finally managed to hold back her tears, took off her high heels, and walked directly towards her Maserati.
"Let's go home first, at least I need to wash up a bit, get rid of the dirt on my body."
She pressed the key and got into the car.
Then she heard the door of the back seat creak open.
Turning around, she saw it was this old man, Chu Yi.
"You? How did you get in here!" Lin Wanru questioned.
Chu Yi, however, acted very naturally: "Don't be in such a hurry to leave, if it really doesn't work out, we can still negotiate."
Lin Wanru didn't expect this old man to dare bring up this topic.
She absolutely didn't want to give this old man a good look: "Get out of the car!"
"Hey, don't be in such a hurry, otherwise I'll just have to take a little loss and ask for a little more, right?"
"Hmph, if you won't get out of the car, then I will!"
Lin Wanru was so angry that she opened the car door and got out.
Before she could even turn around and scold the old man a couple more times, a car suddenly sped towards her with screeching brakes.
Lin Wanru jumped in surprise and quickly dodged.
Bang!
The car directly hit her Maserati.
Although the impact wasn't very strong, the front of the car was still dented.
This time, the repair costs will probably be quite expensive.
The car is also temporarily unusable.
"This... I..." "Lin Wanru was crying without tears.
How could someone be so unlucky?
Before she could recover, a middle-aged man quickly got out of the car opposite her.
"Excuse me, I... Ah? Is that Wanru?"
Lin Wanru was surprised to see him: "Uncle Zhang?"
Uncle Zhang was a friend her parents knew when they were alive.
Lin Wanru was somewhat acquainted with him.
"It's me!" After recognizing her, Uncle Zhang was very happy, "I didn't expect to see you here."
"Excuse me, my car is a bit..." "..."
Knowing it was an acquaintance, Lin Wanru immediately waved her hand: "It's just a small matter, I'll call someone to tow it away to fix it."
"That won't do, I'm the one who hit this car, I'll find someone to help you fix it."
"No need, Uncle Zhang, I actually..."
Uncle Zhang refused again: "It's nothing, oh right, why don't you give me your phone number?"
Saying that, Uncle Zhang picked up the phone and was about to call her.
Lin Wanru was about to say something more when suddenly a flash of cold light appeared before her eyes.
She didn't have time to react.
She saw Uncle Zhang suddenly pull out a stack of knives and stab at her!
"What?!" Lin Wanru couldn't react at all, she could only watch helplessly as the blade of the knife came towards her.
It's over!
She was left with only this thought.
But, the bone-chilling pain she had anticipated didn't come.
In a flash, an old yet powerful hand shot out from the side.
It firmly grasped the pile of knives!
The pile of knives pierced through the old hand, then were firmly stopped, unable to advance even a millimeter!
Lin Wanru quickly turned her head.
The one who stopped the knife was none other than...
