Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: Reaching a Common Understanding

"What?!" Uncle Zhang was also stunned by this move.

He hadn't even seen where this old man had come from.

Could it be that his eyesight was malfunctioning?

No, it was this old man's speed that was too fast!

But this... How is this possible?

This damn old man is practically on his deathbed!

His mind raced. He thought that since he owed so much in high-interest loans, he couldn't get through without Lin Guanghach's promise to pay.

Dealing with one would be a death sentence, two would be the same.

Why not just take this old man down too!

He suddenly exerted force, trying to pull back his knife.

Unexpectedly, the old man in front of him possessed astonishing strength.

He drew his sword with both hands, yet he didn't move at all!

Before he could make a move, he felt a sharp pain in his stomach, and his whole body was sent flying backward.

From Lin Wanru's perspective, she clearly saw Zhou Yi's movements.

With just one kick, the opponent flew three meters away.

"This old man is so powerful!"

She knew very well how much force it took to kick someone that far.

It simply didn't seem like the strength an 80-year-old man should have!

Could he be some kind of hidden master?

Uncle Zhang hurriedly tried to stand up, but as soon as he did, the pain in his legs gave way, and he knelt on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"How could this happen!"

Is this really an old man on the verge of death?

This guy, he'd believe it if he said he was a champion in martial arts!

Knowing he couldn't win, he quickly threw away his knife, flipped to the side, and stumbled away.

Zhou Yi, relieved of the danger, turned around.

He saw Lin Wanru staring at his hand, looking somewhat panicked: "Your hand is bleeding!"

Chu Yi didn't pay much attention: "It's nothing, just a small wound."

Lin Wanru was also very anxious: "Your hand was pierced through, how can it be just a small wound!"

Saying this, she hurried back to the car and took out the emergency first-aid kit.

She gently lifted Chu Yi's injured hand.

Chu Yi felt a warm, smooth sensation spreading from his hand.

It felt as if her hand was a delicate ball of lamb fat.

"It feels quite good."

Just as Chu Yi was thinking this, a sudden sharp pain shot through him, causing him to gasp.

Looking closely, he realized it was iodine alcohol spilled on his hand.

Seeing Chu Yi frown, Lin Wanru quickly reassured him: "Well, detoxification does hurt a little, just bear with it for now."

Chu Yi He patted his chest: "That little pain is nothing."

"Seriously, you were in more pain before, and I, an old man, felt sorry for you too."

Lin Wanru didn't react immediately.

After she recovered, her face turned red with anger.

"You old man, you're using such vulgar language again!"

But despite the scolding, her hands didn't stop moving.

She carefully disinfected Zhou Yi's hand, bandaged it, and even tied a slightly cute little bow.

"Hmm, this time it should be alright."

Of course, doing all this herself wasn't because she had any special feelings for him.

It was purely because he was injured saving her.

She was genuinely concerned, which is why she personally bandaged him.

Yes, it was simply because of that reason. This...

Lin Wanru thought to herself.

At this moment, Zhou Yi's voice came through.

"Well, Miss Lin, I, this old man, have saved your life again."

"You really can't do without someone to protect you. Why don't you reconsider my earlier suggestion?"

You dare bring that up again!

Lin Wanru was about to get angry, but suddenly froze.

Thinking carefully, she realized that there were very few people she could trust in the Lin family.

Just now, even her parents' old friend, Uncle Zhang, had attacked her, trying to kill her.

Without a doubt, it was Lin Guanghe and his group's doing.

Who could she possibly trust?

At least she knew what this old man was up to.

As for the others... well, that was another story.

Give Therefore, I'm afraid I'll really have to borrow this old man's abilities.

However, Lin Wanru also secretly vowed:

If there's any chance, I will definitely drive this old man away!

I absolutely cannot let him manipulate me!

After much thought, she finally gritted her teeth.

"Okay, I agree!"

Hearing this, Chu Yi immediately became agitated: "Are you serious?"

Seeing Chu Yi's excitement, Lin Wanru nodded slightly.

"However," Lin Wanru's words then changed direction.

"I also have a few conditions. If you don't agree, then no matter how dangerous it is, I won't agree."

Chu Yi frowned, not answering, and gestured for her to continue.

"First, we can't be discovered."

"Second, you can't touch me arbitrarily, at least not in front of anyone."

"Third, if I'm uncomfortable, you can't force me!"

Chu Yi pondered for a moment; these three conditions didn't seem too difficult.

Besides, he had no other choice at the moment.

If he didn't agree, with only a few days left to live, where else could he find a suitable target?

So, he readily agreed: "No problem!"

"Okay then, get in the car with me. I'll take you back to your place first."

"Get in the car?" Chu Yi glanced at her recently damaged Maserati, questioning.

"Of course not this one." Saying that, Lin Wanru made a phone call.

Not long after, Someone specifically came to handle this matter, so that's why.

At the same time, a Cadillac also appeared.

"Is this the life of the rich?" Chu Yi couldn't help but exclaim.

Then he got into Lin Wanru's car and quickly left the place.

...

Not long after, the two arrived in front of a villa.

The villa's decoration wasn't extravagant, but it looked very high-class.

"Come in," Lin Wanru called after getting out of the car.

Following her, Chu Yi entered the villa.

As soon as they entered, they saw Lin Wanru being embraced by a woman who looked similar, but even more gentle.

"Wanru, what's wrong?" "How did you end up like this?"

Lin Wanru's clothes were a bit disheveled, and her stockings had several holes in them.

She looked quite disheveled.

Lin Wanru smiled at her and said, "Nothing, sister, I just accidentally fell."

It turned out the other person was Lin Wanru's older sister.

It was clear that Lin Wanru didn't want to worry the other person.

That's why she didn't mention being attacked.

"How could you be so careless..." Hearing this, the other person breathed a sigh of relief and looked up to see Zhou Yi.

"Ah?" "Who is this old gentleman?"

"Ah, he's the old steward I just hired," Lin Wanru quickly explained.

"I saw him alone on the road and felt sorry for him, so I agreed to give him a job. Besides, he's quite sharp-witted."

"Is that so?" Her older sister looked a little suspicious.

However, since it was her younger sister who said it, she naturally trusted her completely.

"Old gentleman, what is your name?"

Zhou Yi politely extended his hand: "My name is Zhou Yi, you can just call me Old Zhou."

"This..." "It's a little impolite, I'll still call you Uncle Yi."

"Hello, Uncle Yi, my name is Lin Ru." She smiled and extended her hand.

The moment their hands clasped, Zhou Yi felt Lin Ru's hand was even softer, but compared to Lin Wanru, each had her own unique charm.

At the same time, the system notification sounded.

[Ding! Matching target detected: Lin Ru, Lin family's daughter, host of the Dou Yin platform with millions of followers!]

Hearing this, Zhou Yi was instantly stunned.

He didn't realize it.

He didn't expect this Lin Ru to be a host with millions of followers?

At this moment, the system's voice sounded again.

[Mission announced: Win over Lin Ru within three months and conduct an in-depth interaction with her.]

[After completing the mission, the reward is a seaside villa!] ]
