Inside the CEO's office at the Tian Sheng Group.
The assistant was reporting to Lin Guang Hach.
"Reporting to Mr. Lin, the situation... something unexpected happened."
Lin Guang Hach sat in the chair of Mr. Zhang, frowning: "What happened?"
"The Ma family failed to capture Lin Shi Wan Ru, and were beaten up. Now several people are in the hospital."
"...Do you know who did it?"
"They said it was an old man who claimed to be a master of Hunyuan Xingyi Tai Chi, seemingly over 80, but his skills were quite impressive."
"What did you say? An old man over 80?"
Lin Guang Hach looked at the assistant speechlessly.
"Those young men, beaten up by an 80-year-old man and sent to the hospital?"
"I'm asking you, do you believe that?"
The assistant seemed to realize this was highly unusual and quickly added, "Actually, they encountered someone else. The reason they're seriously injured and hospitalized is also because of that person."
"Who?"
"Ye Nan Cheng."
...
Meanwhile, Lin Wan Ru finished breakfast and was about to leave.
Chu Yi was about to follow, but she stopped him: "You're not allowed to follow!"
Chu Yi thought to himself, how could that be?
"Didn't you want me to protect you? What does that mean?"
"I just don't want to see you again for now!"
Chu Yi realized that this girl was still angry about last night.
However, he naturally had a way to deal with it.
"So, it's just you and your sister left in the house, are you really at ease?"
Chu Yi said, smiling.
Lin Wanru's eyes widened in surprise.
Oh no, how could I forget this!
She hesitated for a moment, then pouted and said, "Okay, if you want to come along, then come along."
"But, you're not allowed to be too intimate with me in front of others, understand?"
"Understood!" Chu Yi said, then obediently got into the car.
Lin Wanru sighed.
This kind of day, she wondered when it would end.
After the car started,
Lin Wanru didn't go to the company, but instead went to a lavishly decorated clothing store.
"Since you want to be my bodyguard, your appearance naturally can't be inferior, otherwise people will think our Lin family is impoverished!"
"Oh, right, remember your outward identity is my old butler, understand?"
Just then, someone came running to serve Lin Wanru.
Lin Wanru explained her purpose, and the person led Zhou Yi to the fitting room.
After changing several outfits, Zhou Yi chose one that fit him perfectly.
Next, the person took Zhou Yi to get a makeover, tidying his originally messy hair.
Plus, they trimmed his beard as well.
In total, Zhou Yi seemed to have transformed into a completely different person.
His demeanor had also changed significantly.
Even Lin Wanru, upon seeing him, had a thought pop into her head: Is this handsome old man really the same rotten old man from before?
Seeing Lin Wanru looking a little dazed, Zhou Yi immediately rushed over.
"What's wrong? Staring blankly?"
"Didn't you look inside and out last night?"
"Oh, no offense, I forgot to turn off the lights at night. It's my fault, it's my fault."
"You!" Lin Wanru was furious again.
However, there were other people around, so she couldn't vent her anger immediately.
But this time she was certain.
This was that rotten old man! He was so shameless!
After fuming for a while, she finally turned around: "Get in the car quickly. Someone will be coming to the company for an inspection in a few days. I'm very busy these days."
"If you delay, I won't let you off!"
Zhou Yi gave an OK gesture, indicating that there was no problem.
As they walked out of the clothing store, they heard a voice coming from nearby.
"Ah? Lin Wanru? What a coincidence?"
They looked towards the source of the voice.
They saw a young man, simply dressed but with an extraordinary demeanor, approaching.
Lin Wanru recognized him.
"Ye Nancheng?"
This name, Chu Yi hadn't thought about it at first.
He just felt like he'd heard it somewhere before.
But when he thought about it, he felt a chill down his spine.
Damn it, Ye Nancheng? Isn't this the Dragon King Ye Nancheng that the system had mentioned in the reminder?!
Damn it, how did I run into him at this time!
Meanwhile, the two were still talking.
It seemed they had known each other before.
"I saw you being chased yesterday, so I followed."
"But after a few turns, I couldn't find you anywhere. You... nothing happened, right?"
Ye Nan Cheng asked with concern.
Lin Wan Ru froze upon hearing this question.
What happened? She was already out!
And she was out so badly!
Even her precious belongings were gone... She was no longer the perfect young woman she once was.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little dejected.
Then, she subtly glared at Zhou Yi beside her.
It's all because of that rotten old man beside her!
However, she couldn't possibly tell anyone about this, she could only say that she was fine.
Ye Nan Cheng breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this: "That's good."
"Don't worry, I taught those thugs a lesson for you yesterday, and they're all in the hospital now."
"At least for the time being, they won't come bothering you again."
"Thank you," Lin Wan Ru replied uneasily.
Afterward, the two chatted intermittently.
However, Lin Wan Ru was in a bad mood and just wanted to end the conversation as quickly as possible.
Ye Nan Cheng, however, didn't notice and kept trying to find something to talk about.
Listening, they were just chatting about the present.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yi was deep in thought.
Look, yesterday's original plot development was that Lin Wanru was drugged and her consciousness was hazy.
Then, Dragon King Ye Nancheng appeared, chased away the thugs, and took the beauty back.
I never thought I'd be the one to interrupt it.
I took the beauty back and transformed into someone else.
"Speaking of which, who is this old man?" Ye Nancheng suddenly asked.
"He's my newly hired butler, specifically to help me with... personal matters." Lin Wanru answered nervously.
She didn't want Ye Nancheng to know about her relationship with Zhou Yi.
"So that's it. May I ask your name, old man?"
Hearing Ye Nancheng ask him, Zhou Yi immediately felt a little scared.
But thankfully, Lin Wanru didn't reveal anything.
Chu Yi feigned composure: "My name is Chu Yi, you can just call me Uncle Yi."
"So you're Uncle Yi," Ye Nan Cheng said with a smile.
He suddenly lowered his voice: "If I'm not mistaken, you must be sent by the Lin family to protect Lin Wan Ru, right?"
"Oh?" Chu Yi was startled, but still maintained his composure.
"How did you figure that out?"
"Haha, Uncle Yi, your footwork is steady, light yet powerful; you're clearly a professional."
After that, Ye Nan Cheng began to constantly try to strike up a conversation with Chu Yi.
Chu Yi was initially confused.
What kind of nonsense was this Dragon King trying to get acquainted with?
Although Dragon Kings are usually extraordinary, wasn't this a bit too unusual?
Could he have some strange hobby?
Thinking of this, Chu Yi couldn't help but take a step back.
He noticed that Ye Nan Cheng occasionally glanced at Lin Wan Ru.
Chu Yi then realized that it was probably because of her.
Thinking of this, Chu Yi said, "Haha, good boy, you look quite good."
"Let's skip the formalities, but since you're so polite, I'll put in a good word for you with Miss Lin!"
"To be honest, Miss Lin often talks about you too!"
Hearing this, Ye Nan Cheng's face lit up with joy.
"Thank you, Uncle Yi!"
Seeing the joy on Ye Nan Cheng's face,
Chu Yi thought to himself, this boy really does have a soft spot for Lin Wan Ru.
However, if he knew about the glorious achievement of yesterday's "all-night conversation" with Lin Wanru...
He would probably be so angry he'd vomit blood!
