Chapter 400: Zi Yi Said, “I’ll Give You Ten Minutes to Escape”
The man stared at Zi Yi and his lips slightly moved. However, he did not speak.
The bodyguard said to Zi Yi when he saw the young man’s att.i.tude, “Miss Zi, it’s obvious that he’s the stubborn type. Why don’t I make him talk instead.”
The bodyguard felt that giving this kind of person a beating would do.
“There’s no need. It’s useless to beat him up.”
Zi Yi looked at the man and a chilly smile curled on her lips. “I know who it is even if you don’t answer. Bringing you out here is only to teach you which kind of person can be provoked and what kind of person cannot be provoked.
Aren’t you talented with mechanics? I’ll give you a chance. If those mechanical cats and dogs you made can help you escape from my sight, I’ll let you off.”
A light flashed through the young man’s eyes at her words. He knew that what brought him out was an invisible mechanical robot. Those who were capable of making such an invisibility feature either belonged to the state or were someone like him.
For the woman before him to possess such an invisible robot, it was definitely related to the man behind her.
A woman who wishes to deal with him just by relying on the man behind her, he did not mind letting her know his prowess.
Zi Yi kept her word and said to the bodyguard behind her, “Go and pop his arm back into its socket.”
The bodyguard saw the disdain within the young man’s eyes and knew that he was looking down on Miss Zi. He could not help but shake his head deep down. However, when he was popping his arm back into its socket, he specially used a great deal of strength to do so.

“Sii–”
The young man’s originally unusually pale face became even paler.
The bodyguard did not feel the slightest sense of guilt. After he popped his arm back in, he retreated to Zi Yi’s side and stood there.
Zi Yi glanced at the current time and said, “I’ll give you ten minutes to escape.”
The man looked at Zi Yi and turned to leave.
He did not leave in the direction of the main road and instead, he headed towards the residential area.
Not long after he left, the pain from his arm was not as painful as before and he stopped walking. He then quickly took out a controller and pressed on it a few times.
Shortly after, several mechanical cats ran over.
The man had a thin and chilly voice as he gave out orders. “Go and take care of the bodyguard and driver next to that woman before you capture her.”
A few mechanical cats swiftly transformed and their bodies stretched out as they turned into mechanical dogs. Immediately afterwards, they ran towards the direction Zi Yi was in.
A chilly smile curled up on the man’s lips and he whispered, “You can only blame yourself for releasing me. How dare you try to compete with me on robots. Just wait and cry.”
The man remained calm and stood there as he waited.
However, after he had waited for some time, not only did he not hear any miserable cries in that direction, the woman was not brought over either.
The man’s expression changed and he was about to run away.
Yet, Zi Yi’s chilling voice sounded from behind. “I’ve given you time to escape. Since you don’t feel like running, then don’t bother running anymore.”
As soon as Zi Yi said that, she walked over from one of the corners.
When the man saw several ‘obedient’ mechanical dogs by Zi Yi’s side, he widened his eyes in disbelief.
Zi Yi pointed at him and gave orders to the mechanical dogs. “Bite him.”
Panic rose from deep within and he was about to run away.
However, how could his running speed match up the speed of the mechanical dogs? Soon, the man’s miserable cries could be heard.
Zi Yi waited until the guy was lying on the ground and had difficulty breathing, before she walked to him before she lowered her head and looked at him coldly. “You’d better not have any thoughts of competing with me on mechanics ever again. Otherwise, I’ll make you doubt the reason for living.”
She turned around and left afterwards and said, “Go back and tell the person who asked you to deal with me. Since he planned to destroy my painting today. I will make him lose everything very soon.”
When the man behind him heard her words, he released a sneer.
“She intends to make me lose everything? Ha, she’s merely a granddaughter of the Dou Family. I’d like to see how capable she is.”
His subordinates were slightly worried. “We had gotten the mechanical genius, Yaen, to deal with Zi Yi, but she had made him end up in such a miserable state. Boss, should we change our plans?”
“Change? What’s there to change?” That woman is merely relying on Lu Jingye, while he relies on the Lu Family. As long as we think of a way to pull Lu Jingye down from his position in the Lu Group, he would be nothing.”
His subordinate was stunned at first before he nodded in agreement. “Boss’s idea is good. As long as Lu Jingye does not have the t.i.tle of Lu Group’s CEO, he doesn’t have any authority. Without authority, what qualifications does he have to compete with you? If you wish to crush him, it is as easy as crus.h.i.+ng an ant.”
“Hahaha…” After the man had had his fill of laughter, he restrained his expression and said to his subordinate. “Go and invite Mr. Rick out for a chat. Tell him that I would like to talk to him about Lu Jingye.”
…
After Zi Yi returned to the car, she continued swiping on her phone. She soon set up a small program. As long as that man contacts his buyer she would be able to receive news of it.
By the time she was done with everything, she checked the time to see that more than an hour had pa.s.sed. She then said to the bodyguard. “Go and pick up my cousin.”
As soon as the car arrived outside the location where Dou Xiangling had last alighted from, Dou Xiangling’s call came in.
Zi Yi said to her. “You can come out straightaway.”
Dou Xiangling said goodbye to the person who sent her out when she saw the car parked outside and she walked over.
“Yiyi, you didn’t leave?”
She felt that Zi Yi would not have managed to resolve her issues so quickly.
“I left, and just came back.”
After Dou Xiangling got in the car, the car drove away.
Sure enough, Lu Jingye did not return that particular night.
It was not until dawn that Zi Yi heard the sound of footsteps and the door opening.
She opened her eyes and looked at Lu Jingye coming in. She then called out to him. “Ah Jing, you’re back.”
Lu Jingye had been running about the entire night and when he saw the young lady he had been thinking about, he felt warmth spreading across his body. He walked over and kissed her forehead and said, “It’s still early, get some more sleep.”
“What about you?”
“I’ll come and join you after I bathe and change.”
“Okay.”
Lu Jingye soon came out after taking a bath and changed his clothes.
Zi Yi had already moved aside and made s.p.a.ce for him in advance. When he lay down on the bed, the young lady’s soft and sweet body directly entered his embrace.
Lu Jingye raised his hand and patted her on the back. “Sleep.”
“Yes.”
Zi Yi lowered her eyelids and continued sleeping.
By the time she woke up again, she turned her head and saw Lu Jingye’s sleeping face.
He originally gave off a very gentle feeling and his appearance after he had fallen asleep looked much more handsome and gentler.
Just like a…
“Sleeping beauty.”
Zi Yi raised her hand and touched his cheeks. She intended to take some advantage of him.
However, as soon as her lips approached, they were intercepted.
After a while, Lu Jingye released the panting Zi Yi and leaned his forehead against hers as he said with a hoa.r.s.e voice, “Ian and I have dug a pit for Ansel, and Ian will take care of what happens next. We’ll go back right after breakfast.”
Zi Yi hugged his neck and asked, “So you left last night to do this?”
“Yes.”
