Chapter 19 - Chapter 19: What? The Dragon King is here too?!

"Are you happy to see me?" Zhou Yi couldn't sleep anymore after hearing this.

"Then we've discussed it! But you'll have to wait until I've thought it through properly..."

Later, Lin Wanru told Lin Ru about this.

Lin Ru was still a little suspicious: "Uncle Yi is so old, running around everywhere... won't that be a problem?"

Lin Wanru waved her hand: "Don't worry, his physical strength is better than even young people!"

Then she started whispering softly: "Just like Teddy..."

"Wanru, what did you just say?"

"Oh, nothing, anyway, you don't need to worry about him!"

Before leaving, Lin Wanru repeatedly warned Zhou Yi.

"You old fool, don't you dare have any ideas about my sister!"

"My sister is naturally soft-hearted, and if you keep shaking her like that..."

"In short, no bad thoughts allowed, understand?"

"Understood!" Chu Yi waved his hand.

Then, he got into the car with Lin Ru and they set off.

At the gate, Lin Wanru watched Lin Ru drive away in her Porsche, looking a little worried.

For some reason, she always felt like something was going to happen.

"I heard my sister say that there are others coming along too, so it must be..."

"Nothing unexpected, right?"

...

In the car, Lin Ru continued the previous topic.

Chu Yi answered while occasionally glancing at Lin Ru.

As the host, Lin Ru's attire was much more relaxed than that of Lin Wanru, the CEO.

He wore a sleeveless top with a belt, and low-waisted shorts paired with sandals.

His figure was impeccable.

Chu Yi was dazzled by the bright light.

"Really? Uncle Yi, you can also massage bones?"

"Of course, as a medical family, such a small technique is nothing!"

"That's great! My shoulders always ache. If I have the chance, I'd like to ask Uncle Yi to massage them for me."

"No problem! I'll make sure you feel refreshed!"

With that, the two arrived at their destination.

Upon getting out of the car, Chu Yi saw someone waiting with equipment in the distance.

"That's the person who helped with the filming."

Only when they got closer did Chu Yi realize...

There were two of them.

Lin Ru smiled and greeted the other party: "Zheng Peng, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"It's nothing, I was just waiting a little while. And this is him?"

"Ah, he's Uncle Yi, my sister's old butler. My sister was worried, so she specially arranged for him to accompany me."

"Old butler?" Zheng Peng frowned, but didn't say anything more.

Lin Ru also briefly introduced Zheng Peng.

A young master from the Zheng family in the capital, managing the family business in Dongling was a hobby for him.

He was also Lin Ru's number one fan.

He had given countless gifts to earn this opportunity to help him directly.

Zhou Yi could immediately see his feelings for Lin Ru.

"I didn't expect that a young master from the capital would have a day of being a sycophant."

He naturally wouldn't say such words out loud.

On the other side, Zheng Peng also frowned slightly.

Originally, according to his plan, tonight's exploration of the deserted village would only involve himself and Lin Ru.

This way, he could conveniently make some arrangements.

He could also improve his relationship with Lin Ru.

At least they should be able to shake hands, have more physical contact, right?

He never expected that Lin Ru would bring along an old "third wheel," and one who had been around for decades at that.

This made him feel frustrated at the failure of his plan.

"Ah, but the problem isn't just him, there's that kid too..."

"It seems tonight's plan needs some changes..."

Saying this, he glanced at the person beside him with the corner of his eye.

At this moment, Lin Ru's slightly surprised voice came through.

"Huh? You are... Ye Nan Cheng?"

On the other side, Zhou Yi was thinking about how to outsmart and flatter the beautiful woman to win her heart.

Upon hearing this name, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

My God! What's going on?

How come the Dragon King Ye Nan Cheng is here too?!

On the other side, Ye Nan Cheng smiled: "Sister Lin Ru!"

After confirming it was Ye Nan Cheng, Lin Ru continued: "Ah... so it really is you!"

"I remember you and Wan Ru were classmates, right? Since Wan Ru graduated, I haven't seen you since..."

"Oh, right, why are you here?"

"Ah, it's like this..."

Then, Ye Nan Cheng explained.

It turned out he had also heard that Lin Ru wanted to come to this area to report directly.

Although this area had been deserted for decades, occasionally people would see a light coming from some dilapidated rooms in the distance, which was very strange.

He felt a little uneasy, so he proactively came over to keep an eye on things.

Zhou Yi understood roughly what was going on.

Based on the standards of development, I'm afraid those people will soon be in danger.

Then the Dragon King intervened, a hero saving the damsel in distress.

Successfully capturing Lin Ru's heart.

However, now that I'm here, I certainly won't ignore it.

Let's get rid of them!

At this moment, Ye Nan Cheng also noticed Zhou Yi.

He immediately said respectfully, "Uncle Yi, good day, we meet again!"

Zhou Yi, acting like a wise man, said, "Haha, Wan Ru is worried that her sister is in danger, so she sent me to check on her!"

"I didn't expect to meet again, what a coincidence!"

Seeing this, Ye Nan Cheng took the opportunity to chat with Zhou Yi.

On the side, Zheng Peng, who had been left out for a long time, was unhappy.

Uncle Yi was someone Lin Ru brought along, and also their family's old steward, that's one thing.

But what kind of person are you, Ye Nan Cheng?

"This Lin Ru, damn it, is the woman that I, Zheng Shao of the capital, value!"

"What are you doing here?"

He snorted in dissatisfaction, then interrupted their conversation.

"Mr. Ye, we're here directly, it's best if those without business don't follow!"

Ye Nan Cheng chuckled faintly: "Don't worry, it won't affect you."

"You little brat..." Zheng Peng immediately became angry.

But before he could get angry, Lin Ru quickly intervened.

"It's nothing, he's an acquaintance, and he came here out of good intentions, no need to rush."

Hearing Lin Ru's words, Zheng Peng finally relented.

He snorted: "It's getting late, we should hurry up and leave."

Lin Ru nodded in agreement, and then they set off.

Along the way, Zheng Peng originally intended to strike up a conversation with Lin Ru.

But Lin Ru maintained a polite smile throughout, keeping a distance, leaving him no opportunity to approach.

He then shifted his thoughts to Zhou Yi.

He thought to himself, if he could win this old man's favor, he might be able to put in a good word with Lin Ru.

Besides, even Ye Nan Cheng had a very good relationship with this old man.

How could he fall behind?

So, he began to flatter Zhou Yi like a loyal follower.

Zhou Yi, on the other hand, was overjoyed.

It turned out that having a sycophant to order around was so convenient!

Of course, he didn't forget to flatter this sycophant.

He approached Zheng Peng, whispering, "Good boy, I can see you're very thoughtful. Don't worry, I understand your intentions."

"I'll keep an eye on that girl, Nhu, for you."

"Really? Then I'll help you with the task!" Zheng Peng was overjoyed and put in even more effort.

"However..." Chu Yi suddenly changed the subject.

"However what?" Zheng Peng quickly pressed.

"You should know, Ye Nan Cheng also has a soft spot for Nhu. Last time, he even gave me a rare treasure."

"He also asked me to say something helpful to Nhu... It's really difficult!"

Chu Yi shook his head as he spoke.

This was obviously nonsense, but Zheng Peng didn't know that.

Upon hearing this, he immediately became anxious.

"Well done, I didn't think you, Ye Nan Cheng, would actually want to compete with me for a woman!"

"Damn it, isn't it just a rare treasure?

Our Zheng family in the capital has plenty!"

He gritted his teeth, took out a small personal item, and respectfully showed it to Zhou Yi.

"Uncle Yi, please look, this is the Ice Splitting Pattern snuff bottle."

"Its entire body is pure white, and its current market value is... over a million!"

"Look at this... isn't this a rare treasure?"
