After Zi Yi told them the information to be released, a fox-like smile suddenly curled up on her lips.
Little Loli was also eager to cause trouble. “Master, you can rest a.s.sured that I will complete this task to perfection.”
“Alright.”
Zi Yi did not linger in the bar for too long. After she ate some food and checked the program in the bar, she took her leave.
At the same time, she had brought Little Loli along with her.
Not long after the car drove off, Little Loli said to Zi Yi, “Master, we are being followed.”
Zi Yi acknowledged what she said and activated flight mode. In the blink of an eye, her car had disappeared without a trace.
The people following behind her saw her car disappearing all of a sudden and they immediately contacted their boss. “Boss, that woman left by flying through the skies. We lost her.”
A furious voice sounded from the other side of the line. “Didn’t I tell you to be careful and keep yourself hidden when following her to avoid being detected? Hahh, continue to follow her. You must find her place of residence.”
“I understand.”
Zi Yi soon returned home and Lu Jingye walked out after hearing the sounds of her arrival.
Zi Yi alighted from the car and walked over to his side as she told him what Dou Xiaoyong had said to her in the afternoon.
Lu Jingye nodded his head in response and said, “I’ll give my mother a call tomorrow.”
Zi Yi was elated. She suddenly looked at him in all seriousness and asked, “Ah Jing, guess what gossip I heard while I was in the bar?”
Lu Jingye held her hand and headed indoors. His charming voice sounded. “What gossip did you hear?”
“They said that I used my body to seduce you.” Speaking of this, she was a little discontented. “I feel so wronged. You’re clearly an old-fas.h.i.+oned and stubborn old man.”
Lu Jingye: “…”
After they came into the living room, Zi Yi suddenly smelled the scent of sweet milk tea. She looked at her surroundings and saw a cup of steaming milk tea placed on the table. Her mood instantly turned for the better.
“Ah Jing, when did you prepare this for me?” Zi Yi walked over and took a sip. Her eyes brightened and she said, “It’s so delicious. There’s also the taste of blueberry.”
“Yep. I added some fruit inside.” Ah Jing walked over to her and said, “Because you like to drink it, I’ll prepare the drink for you whenever you feel like drinking.”
“Alright!” Zi Yi decided to drink a cup of milk tea every day from now on.
The two of them sat down on the sofa and Zi Yi told him about the rest of the gossip she had heard.
“It seems like there are many people looking to clean you up.”
“Yep.”
Lu Jingye’s expression was as calm as usual, it was as if he did not care that other people were scheming against him.
Zi Yi continued to speak. “There will definitely be many people from all sides having designs on Song Jewelry. In addition, your injuries are still supposed to be rather severe and you’re meant to be in a semi-conscious state.”
Speaking of this, Zi Yi stretched out her hand and poked his hard chest.
Lu Jingye sat firmly upright like a mountain.
She giggled in response. “Based on your current appearance, you don’t seem to be in a semi-conscious state due to severe injuries. Were you the one who got people to spread this rumor?”
Lu Jingye was only wearing a silk top at home. This type of clothing was smooth, silky, and felt good to touch. Coupled with how muscular Lu Jingye’s chest was, Zi Yi instantly transformed into a l.u.s.tful woman. She simply stretched out her hands and touched his chest.
Lu Jingye held her mischievous hands and said, “It was my mother who gave my father a call, and my father was the one that said that my injuries are very severe in front of my grandfather.”
When Lu Jianlin told Patriarch Lu about his condition, it must have been overheard by the other Lu Family members.
As a result, this rumor came about.
“This type of rumor is pretty good. We’ll let everyone think that you’re badly hurt and it’ll be fun when the time comes.”
Zi Yi removed her hand from his grip and continued drinking her milk tea.
Lu Jingye looked at her appearance as she enjoyed drinking the cup of milk tea and the corner of his lips unconsciously curled up.
Zi Yi took another two sips before she took out her phone and logged into the underground black market. When she saw the top ranked bounty, her eyes widened in shock.
“Ah Jing, you’re worth ten billion!”
She suddenly thought of how she had asked for ten billion in exchange for the jade pendant back then, her mood was affected. “You’re only worth ten billion?”
Lu Jingye was amused by her previous and current tone of voice. He tilted his head and glanced at her phone, and noticed that it was the bounty list of the underground black market. He casually continued checking out the list.
“Oh my, the second ranked target on the bounty list is your younger brother!” Zi Yi was surprised. Lu Yunxiao was very famous in the killer world, and she had never ever seen bounties tied to him before in the underground black market.
Lu Jingye saw that and his eyes turned cold.
“Yunxiao’s name is a taboo in the black market and no one has ever dared to put his name on the list. Now that it has been listed, there is only one possibility.”
Zi Yi immediately guessed the reason. “It’s the person who knows that Yunxiao is brain dead.”
After she said that, she hastily stood up. “I’ll go grab my laptop and check out the person who is behind this.”
Having said that, she quickly left to get her laptop.
Her ten fingers tapped on the keyboard at fast speeds and strings of codes were formed. Soon enough, Zi Yi managed to track the location of the ID that listed Yunxiao’s name on the bounty.
“The address of the ID is in the Golden Triangle.”
Everyone is well aware that the Golden Triangle was an unregulated area and there were many criminals and lawless organizations that were based there.
Lu Jingye said in a low voice, “This person does not want us to identify him.”
Zi Yi continued to tap on her keyboard. “Let’s see if I can find the person who released this bounty.”
Soon enough, she managed to lock onto the person. Unexpectedly, it was an ordinary person.
Zi Yi had checked through all of his information.
After they browsed through for some time, Lu Jingye said with certainty, Someone must have used him to issue this bounty.
After Lu Jingye said that, he turned to her. “Send this person’s information to my phone. I’ll get my men to locate him.”
Zi Yi nodded her head and quickly sent the information to Lu Jingye.
The two of them checked out the bounty list again, before Zi Yi then connected to the secret base.
As it was still early, Elder Hu just so happened to be in the research lab.
Zi Yi and Elder Hu had a discussion about the solution that was being cultivated.
Elder Hu had a smile on his face. “I’ve done experiments on several experimental subjects in the past few days. The chances of success and failure is 50/50. In the following days, I will continue to experiment with different methods and I think you can make your way over soon.”
Zi Yi smiled and nodded.
Lu Jingye spoke up at that moment. “Elder Hu, thank you for your hard work.”
“It’s not hard at all.” Elder Hu had an excited expression on his face. “If we can really cure Lu Yunxiao’s brain death, our research will be considered to have contributed to all of mankind.”
Zi Yi nodded her head in response.
The two of them continued chatting for some time. Zi Yi and Lu Jingye checked up on Lu Yunxiao’s condition for a while and closed the video call.
Following that, Lu Jingye gathered a few of the managers in the secret base and had a video meeting.
When the managers saw Zi Yi sitting next to Lu Jingye, they were all surprised.
Ji Dekun subconsciously asked, “Miss Zi, why are you with the Second Young Master?”
Zi Yi gave him a smirk and leaned her head on Lu Jingye’s shoulders. “Ah Jing and I are in a relations.h.i.+p, why can’t I be with him?”
They were aware that they were a couple, but what they were surprised with was that the Second Young Master was wearing home clothes. (They do not know that Lu Jingye has been chased out of the Lu Family empty-handed). That appearance of his made it seem as if they were staying together!
Based on their knowledge, their Second Young Master was not someone so casual!
