Chapter 701: Openly Snatching Raw Stones

Bu Di grabbed his tools and went over to pick the raw stones.

Not long later, Ye Li'er came over with a few people.

She did not say anything and merely stood there while she acted like a spectator.

Recommended for you

Zi Yi glanced at her and whispered to Lu Jingye, "Say, do you think this woman will do something like snatching the stone that Bu Di chooses?"

Lu Jingye could not even be bothered to glance at Ye Li'er and he said, "Only if you let her do so."

Zi Yi laughed and said in an even softer voice, "I made a fun gadget yesterday. This gadget can break a whole piece of jade.

Lu Jingye looked at her shining eyes and raised his hand to caress her head. "You can use this gadget to test if it does have the right amount of explosive power."

The smile within Zi Yi's eyes had deepened considerably.

Bu Di continued choosing for around twenty minutes before he was done. He stood there and smiled triumphantly. "Lu, Zi. This piece is the one. I can guarantee that there will be good minerals inside."

Before Zi Yi and Lu Jingye had the chance to speak, they saw Ye Li'er walking over with a group of people. One of the individuals in the group was the owner of the pile of raw stones.

Ye Li'er spoke in a tone that did not leave any room for rejection. "Mr. Ku Lu, I want the piece in his hands."

Bu Di's face sank. "This is a stone I chose. Are you robbing me right now?"

Ye Li'er sneered. "Yours? I have clearly purchased that stone already. Mr. Ku Lu, am I right?"

Ku Lu looked as if he was placed in a difficult spot. However, under Ye Li'er's warning gaze, he could only answer, "Yes, Miss Ye Li'er had already selected this raw stone in advance."

Bu Di was so angry that he was about to explode. Just then, Lu Jingye said, "Bu Di, you can choose another. We aren't in a rush."

Bu Di looked at the calm Lu Jingye and Zi Yi and he seemed to have thought of something as he nodded. Subsequently, he pointed at another pile. "Mr. Baker's raw stones are also good. Let's head over and take a look."

Thus, the three of them headed over in the direction of another pile.

Ye Li'er looked on coldly as the trio walked away and she ordered one of her bodyguards. "Follow them. I'll buy whichever stone they choose."

"Yes."

Half an hour later, when all the bosses had selected a raw stone of their liking, they realized that Lu Jingye had nothing on his side.

Some people saw how Ye Li'er had been intercepting the raw stones Bu Di had selected and all of them started gossiping softly.

"Miss Ye Li'er is obviously doing it on purpose."

"It must be. I heard that whichever raw stone Mr. Lu's side chose, Miss Ye Li'er would snatch it from them."

"Mr. Lu didn't get angry?"

Speaking of this, everyone subconsciously looked at Lu Jingye's expression.

He had a calm expression on his face right now. Nobody could guess what his thoughts were.

They then started to gossip again.

"Miss Ye Li'er made it so obvious that she was setting herself against them. Say, do you think the raw stones they chose are all useless?"

"It must be. No matter who is in that situation, they would not choose properly."

Recommended for you

"Then do you think Miss Ye Li'er will really purchase those raw stones?"

"Of course not."

After they finished selecting the raw stones, all the bosses started to burn incense. After they were done, the lapidaries started cutting the raw stones.

One staff member headed over to Lu Jingye and asked, "Mr. Lu, did you not manage to choose any?"

Lu Jingye, "We've chosen."

Ye Li'er who was standing near them and staring in their direction revealed a sneer.

She had got her guard to intercept all the raw stones that Bu Di selected. She did not believe that Lu Jingye would get Bu Di to continue selecting.

Just then, Lu Jingye led Zi Yi and Bu Di inside. Not long later, two bodyguards carried out a raw stone that was about thirty to forty kilograms.

Ye Li'er's expression sank. Zi Yi had pointed out many different raw stones previously. She would either say that their outer appearance looked nice or that the color looked good. She found Zi Yi's behavior ridiculous.

Yet, Lu Jingye had gotten someone to carry out a piece of raw stone at that very moment. The surface of the stone was smooth, just like one of the stones Zi Yi mentioned earlier.

Ye Li'er sneered deep down. Looking at the raw stone with such a smooth shape, it was obvious that it could not possibly have any good minerals inside.

Zi Yi narrowed her eyes and looked at Ye Li'er. "Why don't you buy this raw stone too? If you aren't going to buy it, we'll be opening it. Perhaps we might even obtain an emperor green jade."

Recommended for you

Ye Li'er knew that Zi Yi was deliberately provoking her. Even though she knew that the raw stone was obviously bad, she did not wish to let them successfully open a stone. So, she asked out loud, "I've taken a fancy to this stone. How much is it?"

Sang Bo said, "A billion."

Everyone present: "..."

Ye Li'er widened her eyes in disbelief and she got angry. "How dare you ask for such an astronomical amount?!"

Sang Bo did not care if she had gotten angry or not. His voice was cold as he said, "You can buy it if you want to. No one is forcing you."

Ye Li'er glared at Sang Bo, wishing that she could get her bodyguard to arrest him.

Just then, Bu Di smirked and said, "Miss Ye Li'er, don't tell me you can't afford it?"

Ye Li'er's eyes were burning with fire. When she was about to speak, Bu Di added. "Oh well, you've robbed us of so many raw stones earlier and I believe it should have cost you around one to two hundred million? I really wonder if you can afford that price. Or perhaps you are deliberately trying to snatch from Lu and will end up not buying them."

Zi Yi snorted at that moment. "Ah Jing is a merchant for the country and if you are really trying to make things difficult for him, let's see each other in a diplomatic setting."

Ye Li'er's expression changed and she sneered. "Those raw stones were what I've already selected. Obviously, I will buy them."

"Is that so? Then pay for them right now."

After Zi Yi finished talking, she turned to look at the mine owners. "Charge the amount you should be receiving. Otherwise, I'll consider it as if you're working together with Ye Li'er to deal with Ah Jing. In that case, we can only report this to our embassy. I'd like to see if Ye Li'er will stand out and help you then."

The expressions of the mine owners turned dark.

Even though Ye Li'er was the daughter of the Prince, it was extremely obvious that she was making things difficult for Mrs. Lu. If this incident was really reported to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, they would be the unlucky ones instead.

Ye Li'er was not worried at all. "Then tell the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I don't believe they will say anything."

"Then pay for the stones."

"I will naturally pay for it, but why should I do it somewhere you can see?"

Zi Yi looked at Ye Li'er and took out her phone and waved it in front of her. "This is the true colors of the daughter of Country Em's Prince. I believe everyone around the world knows now."

Ye Li'er's expression finally changed. "What did you do?"

Zi Yi looked at her with an expression of surprise. "Didn't you hear me mention that I would be holding a live broadcast today?"

Ye Li'er did not see Zi Yi taking out her phone earlier and she merely snorted. "Do you think I will believe your lie?"

"Is that so?"

Zi Yi pressed her watch and a large virtual screen surfaced. While Ye Li'er widened her eyes, Zi Yi laughed. "The device holding the live broadcast is this."

"Y-you!"











Chapter 702: Playing Around With Ye Li'er

The virtual screen displayed that there was indeed a broadcast and there were comments rolling in on the screen. In addition, all of them were talking about Ye Li'er.

People on the internet did not fear her status at all and each comment was sharper than the previous one.

Zi Yi tapped on her watch and a voice was heard.

Recommended for you

"It turns out that the daughter of Country Em's Prince is so petty. She must be jealous of Zi Yi's appearance and is deliberately trying to make things difficult for them, right?"

"Perhaps she has a crush on Zi Yi's husband but the guy doesn't fancy her. As a result, love has grown into hate."

"Haha. To think that she's a young lady from high society. That behavior of hers has expanded my knowledge."

"There's this saying that ugly people will do all kinds of weird things to get attention. I believe it's a fitting description."

...

Ye Li'er instantly turned red from embarrassment after hearing the remarks made. Her body trembled from anger. She clenched her fists, while she wished that she could head over to Zi Yi and tear her apart.

However, she did not dare to do anything in front of the whole world.

In the end, she could only take out her card and pass it to one of her guards. "Go and foot the bill."

The guard hastily took the card and left to make payment.

The others around her started to whisper among themselves.

While everyone was whispering, Bu Di asked Zi Yi, "Zi, when did you turn on the live broadcast? How come I wasn't aware?"

Zi Yi shrugged her shoulders. "I didn't turn on a live broadcast."

She merely played around with Ye Li'er with the use of technology.

Zi Yi and Bu Di both laughed at the same time.

Recommended for you

When Ye Li'er saw the grins on their faces, she found it exceptionally piercing and wanted to tear their faces apart.

Lu Jingye looked at his wife, who was smiling like a fox, before he turned around and walked towards an empty cutting machine.

Ye Li'er glared in their direction. At the thought that they had randomly bought a raw stone and that it was sure to have no good minerals inside, she did not say anything else.

When the crowd saw that there was no more drama to watch anymore, all of them left to keep watch on their lapidarist cutting the stones.

For a period of time, countless cutting machines were activated as they produced grinding sounds. There was no need to describe how spectacular the scene was.

There were a group of people surrounding each cutting machine. All of them showed tension and an expectant gaze at the same time.

Zi Yi's side had the least number of people.

Lu Jingye did not bring along a gambler or a lapidarist. He only had two bodyguards.

When Lu Jingye rolled up his sleeves and stood next to the cutting machine, everyone was surprised.

"He's going to cut the stone himself? Don't tell me that Song Jewelry doesn't even have a single lapidarist anymore?"

"To think that Mr. Lu would have a day where he's in such a plight. Sure enough, those rumors must be real."

Bu Di saw how Lu Jingye was about to cut the stones himself, and he also got a shock. "Zi, your husband is really planning to cut the stones?"

Recommended for you

"Is there a problem?" Zi Yi did not think of it as a problem. "The minerals inside are the best of the best. It's more reassuring if Ah Jing does it."

Bu Di was silent for two seconds after hearing Zi Yi making such a confident remark. "Zi, you only randomly chose a raw stone and even though I believe that our raw stones are good, the chances of opening a randomly selected raw stone and getting top-grade minerals is very small."

Most importantly, he had not checked the raw stone as he had to play along with Ye Li'er earlier.

Even he dared not make such a guarantee. However, Zi Yi dared to do so. Why does he feel that it was so unreliable?"

Zi Yi walked over to Lu Jingye's side and touched the raw stone. She turned to Lu Jingye and asked, "Ah Jing, will you draw the lines or shall I do it?"

Lu Jingye knew that she wanted to draw and so, he passed her the line drawing pen in his hand.

Zi Yi happily took the pen and took out a pair of glasses from her pocket. After she wore the glasses, the exact location of the mineral inside the raw stone could be seen.

She looked at its position and started drawing the lines. Her speed was considerably fast.

Bu Di saw Zi Yi wearing glasses and he even specifically praised her. "Zi, I didn't expect you to give off such a scholarly aura after wearing glasses."

Just as Zi Yi wanted to tilt her head and look at him, she was blocked by a large hand.

Lu Jingye's voice was slightly deep. "Concentrate on drawing the lines."

Zi Yi looked up at him. At the sight of his serious expression, her lips curved up and she lowered her head to continue drawing.

Recommended for you

Lu Jingye looked at Zi Yi who had her head lowered and his gaze instantly softened.

After Zi Yi finished drawing the lines, she took off her glasses and put them in her pocket before she then moved back.

Lu Jingye started the cutting process.

Many people had their attention on Lu Jingye's side. They felt that the scene was somewhat surreal.

"I didn't expect that the President of the Lu Group would end up cutting raw stones in person."

"Moreover, his wife had randomly drawn the lines. As expected, they are treating this as a game."

"Without the halo of the President, he is the same as everyone else."

Everyone had feared him in the past and at the same time, they would think of ways to curry favor with him.

The reason for the fear was that they were afraid that he would scheme against them someday.

The reason for currying favor was that they wanted to enjoy some of the riches he gained.

Yet, everyone was looking at him coldly and waiting for him to embarrass himself right now.

Ye Li'er who was standing somewhere further away looked in their direction and sneered. "I'd like to see what kind of mineral you could possibly get."

Just then, her phone rang. After she answered the call, she could hear Dan Wei grinding his teeth. "Ye Li'er, what did you just do? Why did you spend 200 million so early on in the day?"

Ye Li'er told him what happened earlier in a simplified manner.

After Dan Wei heard her story, he nearly fainted on the spot. "You... Bu Di had selected the raw stones at such quick speeds and he's obviously choosing at random. Yet, you bought them all?"

"Brother!" Ye Li'er was also unhappy. "Zi Yi had been broadcasting live and if I did not pay for the raw stones, I would become a laughingstock worldwide."

Dan Wei had gotten his men to check up on Zi Yi's live broadcast. When he heard that there was no broadcast at all, Dan Wei started gasping in anger.

"You-! Don't you know to call me and discuss things first?"

Ye Li'er did not expect herself to get tricked by Zi Yi. Her mind was in chaos and she said angrily, "I'll go and reason it out with her!"

Having said that, she hung up the phone.

"Zi Yi, how dare you deceive me?!"

Other than Lu Jingye who was currently cutting the stone, Zi Yi and the rest looked towards Ye Li'er who was walking over with a posture similar to that of a fighting chicken.

Zi Yi smiled. Her smile was extremely irritating. "I did deceive you. What can you do to me?"

"You! Do you believe that I won't get people to arrest you right away?"

"You don't have that ability."

As soon as Zi Yi said her piece, she shifted her attention away from Ye Li'er and directly ignored her.

Ye Li'er got anxious and she ordered the guards who followed her. "Arrest that woman!"

As soon as Ye Li'er shouted, everyone turned around and looked in their direction.

Everyone saw the guards heading towards Zi Yi and they held their breaths.

However, one of the staff members ran over and said, "Miss Ye Li'er, please calm down."

The individuals here were all the gods of wealth of Country Em. In particular, Mr. Lu was from the Lu Family, one of the eight aristocratic families in his country. If they really allowed Ye Li'er to arrest Mr. Lu's wife, they were unable to bear the responsibility.

Ye Li'er had already lost all reason. "She must be arrested today. I'll bear the consequences."

"I'm afraid you are unable to bear the consequences."

As soon as Zi Yi said that, her eyes turned towards the entrance.

Everyone subconsciously followed her gaze, only to see an officer striding through the gates with a group of guards.











Chapter 703: I'm Not Leaving, I Must See Them Open Up the Stone!

Everyone noticed the group of people heading over.

The officer led his men and came over to Ye Li'er as he said with a serious expression, "Miss Ye Li'er, I am under the Prince's orders to bring you back."

Even though Ye Li'er was a little scared, she was unwilling to leave if she did not make Zi Yi and the rest embarrass themselves. In the end, she said, "I'm not leaving."

Recommended for you

The officer seemed to have anticipated that response from her and he took out his phone. "If Miss Ye Li'er refuses to leave with me, I can only give the Prince a call."

He started tapping on the phone.

"You're not to call," Ye Li'er screamed and she said reluctantly, "I'll wait for them to finish cutting the raw stone and leave right away. Would this suffice?"

Ye Li'er had a twisted thought deep down inside, "Even if I am unable to do anything to Lu Jingye and the rest, at the very least, I have to see them open up the raw stone and find a pile of waste materials inside."

The officer could not possibly bring Ye Li'er away by force. After hearing her compromise, he did not say anything else, and it could be considered as acquiescing.

The cutting of the stones continued.

​​Lu Jingye's side was originally rather empty. However, with Ye Li'er refusing to leave and coupled with a group of guards, everyone ended up circling around him.

The person who was the focus of attention, however, did not get anxious or speed up. He cut whatever should be cut, ground whatever needed to be grounded and when one of the sides revealed a green color, many of the spectators gasped.

"Emperor green jade!"

"No way! To think that an emperor green jade would come out from this stone?"

"Perhaps only the surface is green and the entire inside is just ordinary stone."

Even though the bosses present were individuals who had seen all sorts of situations, they still felt that it might just be the surface that is green, after they saw the emperor green jade color from the stone Lu Jingye was working on.

Bu Di who was standing next to Zi Yi widened his eyes and he was also in disbelief. "Zi, you really choose a piece of stone with the emperor green jade?"

"Didn't I say it earlier?" Zi Yi calmly looked at Lu Jingye slowly sanding down the surface and she deliberately said, "My luck is just so good and there's nothing I can do with it. Any random piece of raw stone I have selected has produced a top-grade mineral."

Recommended for you

Speaking of this, Zi Yi purposely looked at Ye Li'er who at that moment had a dark expression.

She said with a smile, "Ye Li'er, you robbed us of so many raw stones, so do you want to open one too? Oh, I think you had better not do so. Everyone knows that we were randomly choosing the stones at the end and if you really did open them and end up with a pile of waste material, wouldn't it be extremely embarrassing for you?"

Ye Li'er was fuming with anger. She tried her best to control her emotions but failed to do so ultimately, as she ended up screaming, "Zi Yi, you had better not be smug. It's obvious that this green is only surface-level deep and I'd like to see how badly you will lose because of that billion-dollar stone."

Bu Di said, "Lose? How could Zi Yi possibly lose money? Sang Bo and I gave this piece of stone to Lu and Zi. Even if the emperor green jade is only surface deep, she won't lose any money."

"You... you..." Ye Li'er was so angry that she was short of breath and nearly fainted.

The officer standing next to her saw her condition and said out of kindness, "Miss Ye Li'er, we should leave."

Similar to poking a hornet's nest, Ye Li'er instantly exploded. "I'm not leaving. I must see them breaking the stone apart!"

With Ye Li'er's words, all the bosses were disinterested in what minerals they could get from their stones. All of them were paying attention to the stone Lu Jingye was working on.

All their gazes moved up and down as they followed the sanding paper. In the end, they even forgot to breathe.

When all three sides revealed the color of emperor green jade, the majority of them subconsciously swallowed their saliva.

Just then Bu Di was so excited that his voice had changed. "It's a great increase. It's emperor green jade! This piece is at least the size of a football!"

"Sii-"

Recommended for you

Sounds of air sucking in could be heard.

Everyone was jealous.

"Isn't their luck too good?"

"To think that they managed to get such a large piece of emperor green jade."

"Just the unprocessed jade can sell for a billion."

"If it is made into jewelry, it would be worth at least more than a few billion."

Even though they were jealous, they would not do anything to Lu Jingye.

Ye Li'er felt her head buzzing at the sight of the emperor green jade.

She never imagined that the person she hated could possibly obtain such a large piece of emperor green jade.

"Impossible!" Ye Li'er emotions went over the tipping point. "It's fake, it's all fake!"

Having said that, she was about to rush over and smash the emperor green jade.

However, the moment she started to move, the officer standing next to her quickly grabbed her arm.

Recommended for you

The officer then reminded her. "Miss Ye Li'er, you are the daughter of the Prince, please pay attention to your image."

Ye Li'er's body trembled at his words. The next second, she started crying loudly.

She had gone all out, so why was the ending like this?

The officer saw Ye Li'er crying uncontrollably and brought her away immediately without further delay.

After the group of people left, everyone else that remained understood that they could not afford to offend Lu Jingye. As a result, all of them congratulated him.

Lu Jingye finally shifted his attention away from the raw stone and looked up at the crowd.

His eyes revealed wisdom and as he stood there, the feeling he gave off was similar to what others had experienced in the past. Noble, unique, and unattainable.

Who said that he was nothing without his status as the President of Lu Group?

He was obviously the king of the business industry. They could only fear and rely on him.

Zi Yi asked Lu Jingye, "Ah Jing, are we continuing?"

Lu Jingye turned away and the crowd somehow relaxed. They heard him speaking in the calmest tone, "No need. We'll buy the stones and leave right away."

The departure Lu Jingye meant was them leaving Country Em.

Following that, Lu Jingye purchased all the raw stones produced by Sang Bo's mine and announced that they would be working together. In the future, Sang Bo's mine would only supply jadeite to Song Jewelry.

Everyone was surprised.

As it turns out, while they were planning and getting ready to deal with Lu Jingye, he had already found a supplier.

He had no intention of buying a jadeite mine in the first place!

When the large trucks Lu Jingye brought along with him drove away with the raw stones dug out from Sang Bo's mine, many of the mine owners felt their intestines turn green.

"I have a hunch that under Mr. Lu's management, Song Jewelry will soon rise to the top three rankings of the international jewelry industry."

"I should have privately contacted him before, so we could work together! It would definitely have been profitable if I had worked together with him."

"Isn't Sang Bo too lucky?"

...

No matter what emotions the crowd had, Zi Yi and the group had already returned to the villa.

After they came back, Lu Jingye and Sang Bo headed to the study room to talk about things.

Zi Yi and Bu Di sat on the sofa.

"Zi, are you really planning to leave today?" Bu Di revealed a reluctant expression. "You managed to get such a top-grade mineral and we should have held a banquet in a high-profile manner."

Zi Yi casually said, "And give that group of people a chance to curry up to Ah Jing?"

Bu Di choked and tried to persuade her again. "Even if we do not hold a banquet, you can still stay here for another day or two. I haven't brought you and Little Loli to a gay bar to enjoy yourselves yet."

Zi Yi looked at him speechlessly. "I'm not interested in those places. You're welcome to visit the capital in the future. I will invite you to my bar, it's so much more fun than the gay bar you mentioned."

"Really?' Bu Di's eyes brightened and his attention was immediately shifted away. "In that case, Sang Bo and I shall visit you in the near future."

Zi Yi nodded her head. "You're welcome to come over."











Chapter 704: Robbery Is Illegal, But This Isn't

The two of them continued to chat for nearly half an hour before they ended the call.

When they walked out, the subordinates who came along with Lu Jingye also came over.

Lu Jingye said to them, "Bring those raw stones and return back first."

Recommended for you

His subordinates nodded and they returned to their rooms to pack their belongings.

Soon, the robots had also packed Zi Yi and Lu Jingye's luggage.

Bu Di was surprised. "You're leaving right now?"

"Yes."

The earlier they got rid of that worm, the earlier they would be able to go home. That way they wouldn't have to remain here and waste time.

Bu Di thought that Lu Jingye and Zi Yi would at least have had lunch before they left. "You aren't going to have lunch?"

He had an expectant gaze.

Sang Bo walked over and slapped his head. "We'll treat you to lunch at XX Hotel."

Bu Di pouted and said, "It's boring to eat at a hotel, it's better to cook ourselves."

Zi Yi asked cooly, "Will you be the one cooking? My Ah Jing won't be going into the kitchen."

Bu Di: "..."

The four of them ate lunch at the hotel. After bidding farewell to each other, Zi Yi and Lu Jingye took their leave.

They had to pass by another country to arrive at the Bermuda Triangle from Country Em. It was at least a ten hour or so journey.

Lu Jingye got his men to prepare an RV.

Recommended for you

In the RV, Lu Jingye did his work, while Zi Yi browsed the internet.

Shadow was the driver, while Little Loli sat in the co-pilot seat as she watched dramas.

The atmosphere was quiet and peaceful. However, when the RV was about to leave Country Em, a small accident occurred.

Their RV was blocked by a woman.

Zi Yi looked up and was a little surprised. She turned to Lu Jingye and said, "Ah Jing, it's the woman who said that we were fat sheep. She's blocking our way."

Lu Jingye was wearing earpieces, as he was in an international conference. He did not even look up from the screen and said, "Get Little Loli to chase her away."

Zi Yi ordered Little Loli to alight from the RV and take care of that woman.

Unexpectedly, Little Loli stood there for some time while she conversed with the woman.

Zi Yi found it strange and so, she alighted from the RV and went over.

"What's the matter?"

Little Loli and the woman looked at her.

Little Loli pointed at the woman and said, "Sister, she said she wants to ride with us. If we refuse to bring her along, she will continue blocking our way without moving."

Recommended for you

The woman looked at Zi Yi and said, "The road ahead is a mountain area and I only wanted to ride with you and cross that mountain. That isn't too much, is it?"

Zi Yi checked the woman from head to toe.

She was still dressed in the unique clothing of her race. She originally had a petite and exquisite appearance, and coupled with the large cloth bag she had across her shoulder, she looked like a student.

Zi Yi suddenly asked, "Are you from the Southern part of China?"

"No, I'm not." The woman had been speaking in the international common language. "I am only fond of the clothes in that region, so I bought a few sets of clothing to wear."

Zi Yi narrowed her eyes. The feeling this woman gave her felt complicated. There were no signs of hostility, but it seemed like she was deliberately trying to approach them.

"My name is Anya." Anya's skin tone was slightly on the darker side, so it made her teeth look exceptionally white. The moment she smiled, her entire face seemed to be glowing, which made people unable to shift their gaze away from her.

Zi Yi thought about it and asked, "Which province in Country L are you headed to?"

Anya gave her a location.

It just so happened to be the province near the Bermuda Triangle in Country L.

Zi Yi smiled. She found this woman somewhat interesting and said, "We can give you a ride, but you can only take the seat behind the co-pilot. Also, you have to pay a hundred thousand for the RV fare.

Anya suddenly widened her eyes at Zi Yi's words.

Recommended for you

Her pupils were pitch-black and when she widened her eyes, they had the appearance of grapes, as there was a slight hint of purple within her black pupils.

They were giving off a slightly bewitching feeling.

Zi Yi narrowed her eyes. "If you aren't willing, get out of the way. Don't block our journey."

Anya said in disbelief, "I can't believe you're asking me for a hundred thousand. What's the difference between this and robbery?"

"Of course, there's a difference. Robbery is illegal, but this isn't."

Looking at Anya's dumbfounded expression, Little Loli who was standing in between them could not hold back her laughter. "That's right. My sister has clearly given you the price. If you are willing to pay, then take the deal, otherwise go away."

Anya furrowed her eyebrows and with an expression of heartache, she searched inside the cloth bag for a long time before she finally found a card. "I don't have that much cash on me. I only have a card."

"It's fine, we have a card machine."

Zi Yi nodded at Little Loli.

Little Loli took the card in Anya's hand and swiped it across her palm.

Anya's mobile received a notification: [100,000 deducted from the card. Your remaining balance is 999.]

Anya held her chest and revealed an expression of heartache.

Zi Yi glanced at her, before she turned around and returned back to the car.

Their RV was pretty big. There were four seats behind the driver's seat, followed by a large space at the back.

There was a door at both the side and back. After Zi Yi got into the RV, she closed the door.

The glass on the door was a single-sided glass and they could see the outside scenery from the inside.

Lu Jingye looked up and asked her, "Are there any problems with this person?"

"I can't sense any hostility from her, but she is heading towards the province near the Bermuda Triangle in Country L. Isn't it too much of a coincidence?"

Instead of letting this person follow them in secret, it was better for them to bring her along. When the time comes, Little Loli would be able to monitor her constantly, which would save them a lot of trouble.

The car soon drove into the mountains.

The climate here was different from their home country. The vegetation in the mountains was also rather different.

Along the way, there were all sorts of wild fruit trees.

When the car entered the middle area of the mountain, the originally clear weather suddenly turned overcast and thunderous.

Little Loli came over and asked Zi Yi, "Sister, it's raining hard outside. Are we still going to travel?"

Zi Yi did not immediately answer. Instead, she glanced at Anya who was seated in the middle.

Anya had been sitting quietly for the whole journey and only ever looked outside the window ever since she got in the RV with them. It was similar to that of a person who had hitchhiked a lift.

Zi Yi asked Little Loli, "If you want to recharge, we will stop."

This type of weather was the best time for Little Loli and her robots to recharge their batteries.

Little Loli immediately said excitedly, "Yes. A charge during this type of weather can last me for half a month!"

"Then we'll stop here. Go somewhere further away. If you find any delicious-looking fruit, bring some for me."

"Alright, Sister."

When Little Loli opened the car door, Anya, who was seated in the middle, moved. She hastily asked, "Wouldn't it be dangerous for you to go out in such a heavy downpour?"

Little Loli still had the sense to bring an umbrella out. "It's fine, I'll be going out to relieve myself."

Unexpectedly, Anya said, "Me too. Let's go together."

Little Loli sent Zi Yi a message, asking her how she should proceed.

Zi Yi replied, "Bring her along. Keep a close watch."

Little Loli took Anya down with her.

Looking at the two girls going out in the rain, Zi Yi opened the partition and said to Shadow, "Shadow, you can also go and get a recharge."

Shadow responded and opened the door.

Only Zi Yi and Lu Jingye remained in the car. There was a toilet behind them and there was no need for them to alight from the car.

However, at this moment, accompanied by a thunderstorm, an earthquake suddenly approached their direction.










Chapter 705: This Person Definitely Has a Motive For Approaching Us

Soon, both their invisible robots appeared in the surroundings of the RV.

Lu Jingye asked in a heavy voice, "What happened?"

Shadow said, "There's a landslide nearby and it disturbed the wild elephants. There are currently twelve elephants running in this direction."

Zi Yi's eyes brightened at Shadow's words. She pulled Lu Jingye's sleeves and said with surprise, "Ah Jing, it's elephants."

Lu Jingye looked at her.

"I've never seen elephants on ancient Earth in person before. What I've seen in the past were through images."

Lu Jingye lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before he asked Shadow, "Are you able to lift the RV?

The car must be kept intact.

Shadow nodded. "Yes."

"Lift the RV when the elephants are rushing over. Don't let them damage it."

"I understand, Master."

After Shadow informed the other robots, eight invisible robots were about to lift up the RV.

Zi Yi was a little anxious. "Ah Jing, aren't we getting out?"

Lu Jingye had no choice but to bring her along and get out of the car.

As soon as they found a high location to check out the view, they saw a herd of elephants rushing over.

Zi Yi was held in Lu Jingye's arms and she craned her neck to look at the elephants.

Lu Jingye was holding onto an umbrella with one of his hands and he could only hold her tighter in his embrace with the other.

The herd of elephants crossed the road and when they were about to pass, a woman suddenly rushed over from not too far ahead.

Zi Yi and Lu Jingye furrowed their eyebrows at the same time.

Zi Yi asked Lu Jingye, "Do we save her?"

Lu Jingye said with an indifferent expression, "No, this woman is suspicious."

Zi Yi had the same thought. At this moment, they saw a lithe figure come swinging from the tree branches and quickly dashing towards the woman, who was scared silly and screaming. The lithe figure held her waist and swung to the opposite slope.

The herd of elephants ran past that location at the same time.

"I didn't expect Anya to have such great skills." Zi Yi held her chin and her lips slightly curved up. "I am sure that she must have a motive in approaching us."

Just then, Anya and that woman, who was in a sorry state, walked over.

Zi Yi and Lu Jingye descended from the hillside.

Both Anya and the woman did not have an umbrella and they were both drenched in the heavy rain.

Zi Yi looked at both of them. The woman was shivering and clearly, she was afraid.

Anya asked in worry, "Where's your RV?"

Recommended for you

Zi Yi pointed to a corner behind them.

Shadow had put down the RV after the herd of elephants ran past them.

The woman was clearly surprised that their RV was undamaged.

However, Anya seemed to have guessed the reason why and did not continue to ask anything.

"Get in the car first," Lu Jingye said and both he and Zi Yi got in the car.

Anya and the woman walked to the door.

Anya said, "She's a native of the mountains. Can you lend her an umbrella?"

Zi Yi looked at the woman and the latter looked back at Zi Yi with a scared expression.

Zi Yi made eye contact with the woman for several seconds before she asked Shadow, "Do we still have an umbrella?"

Shadow said, "Madam, we still have one umbrella."

"Give it to her."

Shadow took out the umbrella and passed it to the woman.

Recommended for you

The woman reached out for the umbrella with trembling hands, and she looked like she was extremely afraid of them.

Anya took the umbrella for her instead and stuffed it in her hands. She said a few words to her and the woman nodded, as if thanking her before she took her leave.

Anya remained standing outside and did not come in.

Zi Yi looked at her.

Anya said shyly, "My clothes are covered in water and it will stain your RV. Can you lend me a set of clothes?"

Zi Yi did not immediately answer. Instead, she asked, "Where's my younger sister?"

"I don't know. Little Loli ran off very quickly after she entered the woods. I didn't manage to catch up to her."

Anya then said, "Why don't I help you look for her?"

"No need, you should come up. However, you can't fit into my clothes. I'll give you a blanket to wrap yourself up in first."

"That's fine too. Thanks."

Anya got into the car.

Zi Yi walked to the back and grabbed a blanket for her.

Everyone waited for almost half an hour, before they saw Little Loli making her way back.

She was carrying something in both hands and it looked heavy. However, Little Loli looked relaxed as she carried the items.

After Little Loli came back, Zi Yi opened the door. Little Loli then placed the fruit on the table behind them.

"Sister, there is plenty of fruit in the woods. I brought some back for you."

Zi Yi looked at the fruit on the table, before she turned to look at the water dripping on the floor.

Little Loli giggled with a guilty expression. Subsequently, steam could be seen being emitted from her clothes.

Soon, the water on her had evaporated, and Little Loli even belched contentedly. "I had a good meal just now."

Zi Yi looked at her speechlessly. She obviously had a recharge, and yet she said that she had a good meal.

The RV continued to move forward.

Zi Yi passed Anya some fruits.

It was getting darker outside, but the RV had been driving steadily.

Lu Jingye looked at the map and said, "We still have an hour before we get out of the mountain area. There's a town not far away from the mountain. Do you want to eat there or should we get the robot to buy some food instead?"

Zi Yi thought about it and said, "Get the robot to buy food for us."

These places were poor and there was a high chance they would encounter unruly people. Zi Yi did not wish to spend time taking care of those people.

Lu Jingye nodded his head and tapped his wrist. Soon, he sent a message to the robots for them to go and purchase food.

Not long after the RV drove out of the mountain, the robots had returned with dinner.

The RV continued driving towards the Bermuda Triangle.

...

The Bermuda Triangle was situated in a mountainous area in the middle of three countries.

The terrain here was dangerous and none of the three countries had the ability to control it. Coupled with the officials and bandits colluding with each other, the forces here had expanded uncontrollably.

There was also a bustling place in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle and it was called City X. It could be considered to be a large trading area.

The influential figures here would often fight and kill each other in private. City X was the only place where they had laid down their weapons tacitly and unanimously.

Inside a luxurious clubhouse, men in various costumes held women in their arms. They would stop and greet each other as they exchanged pleasantries when they saw an acquaintance.

Other than this being a drinking place, there were also areas for gambling, fighting, and auctioning.

The entertainment here was different from what ordinary people knew of. Lives can be gambled, the fighters can kill the opponent in the fight, and the auctioned items include all kinds of things that could not be sold openly.

Within a room, several men were sitting together and smoking cigarettes.

One of the men with blonde hair and green eyes took a deep drag of the cigarette and said, "I heard that Lu Jingye will be coming here soon."

"Hmph!" Another man with brown eyes and a long scar across his cheeks said, "He can come all he likes. As long as he's here to talk business with us, we'll talk. Or else, he better not blame us for being rude!"

Another man who was relatively shorter but had a sharp glint in his eyes flicked the cigar ash and laughed. "Didn't you pay attention to what he has done in Country Em these days? That man is still so ruthless. Those businessmen are really stupid. Why would they ever think that Lu Jingye would fall just because he doesn't have the position of the President of the Lu Group?"

"So what? I heard that Lu Jingye is bringing his woman along. For him to dare to bring his woman here, I'd like to see if he can protect her."











Chapter 706: If You Continue Smiling Like That, Be Careful That I Won't Make Your System Crash

At another area of the clubhouse, Ouyang Ming breathed out smoke, while he spectated two strong men fighting with their lives on the line. He tilted his head and looked at ​​He Fei, who was surrounded by the smoke. He Fei had a complex expression on his face and Ouyang Ming was puzzled.

"Ah He, just what on earth are you thinking? Those two will be coming here soon and as long as we cooperate with that man, you can avenge Uncle He and we can also obtain what we want. It's such a good opportunity, so why are you still hesitating?"

He Fei looked at the two men fighting in the ring with a dark expression and remained silent.

Recommended for you

Ouyang Ming was not happy about his reaction and pushed him with his other hand.

Only then did He Fei speak out. "I will take revenge on my own. I will not cooperate with them."

"You..." Ouyang Ming got angry and he scoffed. "Do you think you are capable of getting revenge on your own? You know better than me how powerful Lu Jingye is. In addition, that woman has robots with her."

Speaking of this, he clicked his tongue. "Don't tell me you still have lingering feelings for that woman? If that's really the case, you..."

"How is that possible!" He Fei looked at him unhappily and his expression sank. "I stopped liking her ages ago."

He then shifted his gaze back to the fighting ring.

At this moment, one of the fighter's fists landed on his opponent's face. His opponent's face tilted to the side and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Ouyang Ming looked at He Fei's side profile for some time. He originally wanted to say something but gave up in the end.

After the fight ended, one of the fighters died.

However, none of the spectators here felt sorry for that man.

Ouyang Ming said, "Look, this is the law of the jungle."

Just then, a man wearing a vest that showed off his eight pack and had tattoos all over his face walked over to He Fei and Ouyang Ming.

The man said to them, "Gentlemen, my Sir is inviting the both of you over."

He Fei furrowed his brow. He did not really want to go.

Recommended for you

Ouyang Ming pulled his arm and said, "Let's go. This fight is over anyways."

He Fei reluctantly followed the two of them.

He Fei and Ouyang Ming were brought to a room.

There were only a few individuals inside the room and they were currently smoking cigars.

One of them who was sitting in the middle had excluded a strong and murderous aura. He tapped the cigar in his hand and before the ash dropped on the ground, the person kneeling next to him had caught it with the ashtray.

"Sir, I have brought them here."

The man looked up and his gaze was as sharp as a beast.

"Your old friends are here. Do you want to catch up with them?"

As soon as the man opened his mouth, the others quietly looked at He Fei and Ouyang Ming.

Just as He Fei was about to speak, Ouyang Ming bumped his arm against his and smiled. "Of course, we have to catch up with them. After all, we have to take revenge for them killing Ah He's Father."

He Fei's body trembled and his face revealed hatred.

The man looked at their reactions in satisfaction. He smoked the cigar and said, "They might come here to play tonight. Do you want me to create a chance for you to approach them?"

Recommended for you

Ouyang Ming asked eagerly, "What sort of chance?"

The man, however, was looking at He Fei.

He clenched his fists and controlled his hatred. "Yes!"

The man smiled.

...

By the time Zi Yi's RV arrived at the town nearest to the Bermuda Triangle, it was already midnight.

The town here was similar to that of the towns and villages in rural areas. It only took 15 minutes to walk around the entire town. Most importantly, there was only one hotel here and it was one of those types that looked rather run down.

When the car reached the end of the town, Anya said, "Thanks for driving me here. I'll be getting off now."

Zi Yi did not say anything and got Shadow to stop the RV.

After parking the RV, Anya even kindly reminded them. "The hotels here are really devious. If you wish to stay here, you better pay attention."

She walked into the darkness after she said her piece.

Zi Yi looked at Anya who had soon disappeared from their sights and asked Lu Jingye, "Are we going to continue traveling on the road?"

Recommended for you

"No need. I got my men to rent a courtyard here in advance. We'll enter the mountains tomorrow morning."

Zi Yi quickly nodded her head at his words.

She wanted to eat hot, cooked food.

The RV continued driving around the town. Not long later, they stopped at an alley.

The alley was very small and the RV could not drive inside.

Zi Yi asked, "If we park our RV here, will people come to steal it later on?"

"Yes, there will be."

"In that case, let the bodyguards keep watch."

"Ok."

Lu Jingye, Zi Yi, and Little Loli headed inside the alley together.

Lu Jingye did not get Zi Yi to light the road, instead he turned on the torchlight on his phone and walked inside together with Zi Yi, while holding her hand.

"Many people that are here are lurking around on behalf of the people at the Bermuda Triangle. Don't reveal too many things here."

Zi Yi nodded her head.

After walking for around ten meters, they arrived outside a courtyard.

There were currently two bodyguards standing by the door. Traces of dim light shone from inside.

"Second Young Master, Second Young Madam."

The three of them went in and one of the bodyguards said, "The food is ready and it's in the lobby. The left side of the lobby is where the Second Young Master and Second Young Madam's room is for tonight. All the amenities inside have been replaced."

Lu Jingye responded with a nod.

The buildings in this courtyard were arranged in one row. The middle building was the lobby and there were two rooms on both the left and right sides.

This was considered a pretty good house in this area.

The two of them went to rest after finishing their meal.

Sure enough, some people went to their RV to steal it in the middle of the night but they were all chased away by the bodyguards.

When Zi Yi woke up the next day, Lu Jingye just so happened to open the door from outside.

Lu Jingye wore a white shirt and slacks, making him seem even more handsome.

Zi Yi blinked her eyes when he walked over to her. She copied Little Loli's expression as she held her cheeks and said, "Ah Jing, you're really handsome."

Lu Jingye's lips curved up at her words. He walked to the corner of the bed and sat down.

The next second, Zi Yi put her head on his thigh and her arms stretched out and hugged his waist. "When did you wake up? Why didn't you wake me up?"

"It's still early." They had slept pretty late last night and Lu Jingye could not bear to wake her up. He raised his hand and touched her cheeks. "Yunxiao contacted me earlier. After you get up and finish breakfast, we'll head over to City X in the Bermuda Triangle."

Zi Yi nodded her head, but she did not feel like getting up. And so, she acted cute and said, "Carry me."

Lu Jingye bent down to hug her.

Zi Yi quickly pulled out her hand and held his neck, pulling him towards her. She then laughed and said, "Give me a morning kiss first."

Their lips came into contact and molded against each other.

Due to Zi Yi's enthusiasm, the morning kiss ended up turning into a round of passionate morning exercise.

By the time they came out of the room, it was almost lunchtime.

The food was prepared by Shadow.

When they sat down and had their meal, Little Loli propped her chin on her hand and revealed a teasing smile.

Zi Yi glanced at her. "If you continue smiling like that, be careful that I won't make your system crash."

Little Loli immediately put away her smile and blinked her large eyes. "Sister, you do know that the rooms here aren't soundproof, right?"










Chapter 707: Even If You Aren't a Human, I'm Still Worried That I Might Be Psychologically Affected

Zi Yi's hand paused for a moment and she turned to look at Lu Jingye, who was eating calmly.

Lu Jingye grabbed some dishes for her and said, "There was no one in the yard."

Zi Yi was finally at ease.

Recommended for you

Little Loli grudgingly thought: "Am I not a human? Alright, I am indeed not a human. However, I had heard an entire morning of background noises. Hee hee..."

Just then ​Zi Yi said to Little Loli, "In the future, stay somewhere further away from our room. You're not allowed to stay so close."

"Why? Sister, you said it yourself that I'm not a human."

"Even if you aren't a human, I'm still worried that I might be psychologically affected."

"... Oh..."

After the meal, both of them brought along their bodyguards and left the courtyard.

Even though they did not encounter any situations on the road to the mountain, the RV didn't arrive at City X until 7 p.m. in the evening.

Zi Yi did not expect Lu Jingye to have a house here as well.

Lu Jingye said, "I have had interactions with people here in the past and it's inconvenient to stay in a hotel, so I bought a place."

The house Lu Jingye bought was not big. It was a small, two-story house with a yard outside.

The RV was able to drive into the yard without any difficulty.

At this time, Lu Yunxiao was already waiting for them in the yard.

As soon as Zi Yi and Lu Jingye alighted, he called out to them, "Brother, Sister-in-law."

Lu Jingye nodded and walked over to him to pat him on the shoulders. There was no need for a lot of words for the two brothers to communicate clearly. They easily knew each other's thoughts.

On the other hand, Zi Yi giggled and asked, "Yunxiao, was it alright staying here?"

"Yes, thank you sister-in-law for your concern. I am doing well."

Little Loli added. "Then did Oppa miss me?"

Lu Yunxiao tilted his head and looked at her expressionlessly.

Little Loli was heartbroken and she hit her chest. "Oppa, you didn't miss me..."

Lu Yunxiao's lips twitched. He did not know how to answer his sister-in-law's robot and ended up remaining silent.

Zi Yi said to Little Loli, "If you have nothing to do, go around and tour the place. Don't tease Yunxiao."

"Okay, sister! I'll go out for a stroll right away." Little Loli giggled and walked towards the main gate.

Zi Yi reminded her from behind. "Change your appearance first."

"Alright~"

Only then did the three of them head to the living room.

After taking a seat on the sofa, Lu Yunxiao gave them a simple rundown of the situation here.

Recommended for you

"I have already pinpointed the thing sister-in-law mentioned. It's at the place of the most influential boss here, Long Aotian."

Zi Yi burst out laughing at the name. When the two men looked at her, she said, "Long Aotian is the male lead of the N number of novels Little Loli has read. I didn't expect it to be used here."

The two brothers: "..."

Lu Jingye asked Lu Yunxiao, "Did you find out if Rick was brought there?"

"Yes. I got Night to monitor Long Aotian's place. Rick was brought over at midnight the day before yesterday.

Zi Yi snorted. "We must resolve Rick this time around. Otherwise, allowing this madman to stay alive will be a hidden danger."

Lu Jingye suddenly thought of the Rick who had bombed his car and said, "It's possible that Rick's body has been taken over by the worm. The person who appeared in front of my car that day was very similar to Rick but it wasn't him."

Zi Yi thought about it and said, "The person that resembled Rick might be a clone."

Lu Yunxiao's expression turned cold at the mention of the word 'clone'. He said, "This person must have been created by the secret lab in Country A."

Lu Jingye said, "So, the worm is cooperating with a certain higher-up of Country A. Or perhaps it has taken over one of the government officials' bodies."

Zi Yi said, "The possibility of it occupying the body of a higher-up is very high. Moreover, I have a feeling that these two worms are thinking of occupying Earth. Moreover, their intention of taking over is very strong."

Zi Yi's words cause the expressions of the two brothers to turn serious.

Recommended for you

Lu Jingye pondered about it and asked Zi Yi, "What is the worm's reproductive ability?"

"If it is a queen worm, they can breed tens of thousands of babies a year. For an average female worm, they can breed hundreds of babies a year. Based on the time, that female worm would have already bred at least fifty or sixty child worms."

The time Zi Yi mentioned was starting from the day she first arrived here on ancient Earth.

Lu Jingye's expression turned even more grim.

Even though Lu Yunxiao did not quite understand what the worm was that they were talking about, he had still sensed the severity of the situation. "What should we do now?"

Lu Jingye looked at Zi Yi.

"What we can confirm now is that the female worm is here. As long as the female worm is killed, there's no need to fear her reproducing again. It'll be easy to take care of the remaining worms."

"Then let's take care of the female worm first."

"We are unable to do so for the time being. I need to create some equipment first. The female worm is capable of releasing a sonic soundwave and I have to take care of that first."

Having said that, Zi Yi turned on her virtual screen and started operating. "If I get my company to start working on the materials needed, it will take at least a week and this would be too late. Therefore, I have to extract the elements I need from other things."

"What do you need? Yunxiao and I will set out to search for it right away."

Zi Yi quickly operated the virtual screen and soon, a list was shown.

Some of them were elements that were easy to find, but some of them were rather tricky.

Zi Yi pointed at a few of the elements with strange symbols and said, "These elements have to be extracted from meteorites from outer space. We have to find a meteorite right now."

The two brothers went into deep thought about where they could find a meteorite stone.

Sometime later, Lu Yunxiao said, "A meteorite that fell in District L of Province Y in China ten years ago was discovered and we can search there."

Their current location was not considered far away from Province Y and if they sent the robots over, they would be able to return in a few hours.

Thus, the problem of finding a meteorite could be considered resolved.

Zi Yi had originally brought along some equipment when she left. She could just purchase additional materials to make the equipment she needed.

Zi Yi showed the list of materials and elements she needed to them again.

After reading through the list, Lu Yunxiao said, "We can visit the largest clubhouse in the central area. There's an auction house there and they have everything."

"Good idea."

The three of them discussed it and planned to visit the clubhouse this evening.

However, as soon as they were done discussing, Shadow's voice sounded from outside. "Master Lu, someone is requesting to meet you."

Lu Jingye asked, "Who is it?"

"The other party said that he is Boss Long's subordinate. His name is Zhang Ze."

Lu Jingye and Lu Yunxiao's expressions turned cold at the mention of the person's name.

Lu Jingye said to Zi Yi, "Head to the bedroom and wash up first. After we finish eating, we'll visit the clubhouse."

Zi Yi knew that Lu Jingye did not wish for her to interact with those people and so, she did not say anything and headed upstairs.

Lu Yunxiao had also walked towards the back of the house.

Only then did Lu Jingye speak. "Bring him in."

The person who came in was a tall man with a beard. He extended his hand toward Lu Jingye with great enthusiasm when he came in.

"Mr. Lu, welcome to the Bermuda Triangle. Long time no see."

Lu Jingye shook hands with him and said after letting go, "Mr. Zhang Ze, please take a seat."

The moment he sat down, Zhang Ze looked around the living room and asked openly, "I heard that you have brought Mrs. Lu along with you. Why don't I see Mrs. Lu around?"










Chapter 708: Don't Find a Random Woman For Yunxiao

Lu Jingye sat there and looked perfectly calm and collected. "My wife is rather timid."

Zhang Ze believed Lu Jingye's words and even kindly reminded him. "In that case, Mr. Lu should protect Mrs. Lu well. After all, there are not many kind souls here and I'm afraid they might hurt Mrs. Lu out of clumsiness."

"Yes."

Recommended for you

Zhang Ze noticed how Lu Jingye did not wish to continue the topic about his wife and so, he tacitly brought up the purpose of his visit. "My eldest brother heard that Mr. Lu has arrived at the Bermuda Triangle. He specially sent me over to invite you over for dinner at our place."

Speaking of this, he even added. "I believe Mr. Lu will give this level of face to my brother at the very least?"

Lu Jingye looked at him with a calm expression. He tapped his finger on his thigh and did not reply immediately. However, he did exude a powerful and sharp aura.

Soon, Zhang Ze was unable to withstand the aura Lu Jingye radiated and he said with a laugh, "Mr. Lu, don't be mistaken. My brother is sincerely inviting you over for dinner. What's more, we still want to do business with you."

Only then did Lu Jingye nod his head and he said, "I can't make it tomorrow. I promised my wife to stay at home and accompany her."

When Zhang Ze was about to speak, Lu Jingye said, "I'll come the day after tomorrow."

...

When Zi Yi came downstairs, the guest had already left.

The two brothers were currently sitting on the sofa and having a discussion.

Coincidentally, Lu Yunxiao asked, "Can sister-in-law create the soundwave blocker?"

As soon as Lu Yunxiao asked that question, he saw Zi Yi coming downstairs and he kept his mouth shut.

Zi Yi walked over to Lu Jingye's side and sat down before she asked, "What's the matter?"

Lu Jingye told her about the situation.

Zi Yi nodded her head. "As long as we can gather everything I need by tonight, I can make the soundwave blocker in a day's time."

Recommended for you

However, she was afraid that they would not be able to gather all the materials.

"However, it doesn't matter if we can't gather everything either. The female worm has no effect on me. I'll accompany you when the time comes, she doesn't dare to approach me."

Even though Lu Jingye did not want Zi Yi to get in contact with those people, they had no other choice.

"Aren't we heading to the clubhouse? Are we leaving after dinner or will we be leaving right now?"

Zi Yi wanted to leave right now and so, she blinked her pair of pretty eyes, while looking at Lu Jingye expectantly.

Lu Jingye raised his hand and gently stroked her hair. "There's a restaurant there, but it might not suit your tastes."

Zi Yi looked at him with a confused expression.

Lu Jingye added. "The dishes there taste a bit too strong."

Zi Yi originally thought he meant that the restaurant used plenty of spices in their dishes. However, when she sat down in the restaurant, she looked at the menu. The dishes were either made using protected animals in their country or made with various ingredients that were restricted. She silently took out the snacks Lu Jingye specially prepared for her and started to eat them.

"I don't like to eat these things. You two should eat less of them too."

The three of them had changed their appearances before they came over.

Lu Jingye looked like an ordinary businessman right now, while Lu Yunxiao was the bodyguard and Zi Yi had tanned her skin color and added freckles all over her face.

Recommended for you

The two men had retracted the auras that they radiated and so they had not attracted anyone's attention from the moment they entered the clubhouse.

Lu Jingye and Lu Yunxiao had eaten a large bowl of noodles before they came out and so, it did not matter much to them if they ate or not.

They were mainly there to accompany Zi Yi to experience the dishes here.

However, the experience was clearly not too good.

Zi Yi took a sip of the warm water and asked, "No one has ever expressed their dissatisfaction with the fact that the restaurant serves such food?"

Lu Jingye did not answer her. Instead, he motioned for her to look at the other customers.

Several men who looked as if they had returned from the wild were sitting next to their table. All of them drank large mouthfuls of alcohol and took a large bite of the meat. There was no need to mention how much they seemed to be enjoying the food.

One of the burly men sighed. "As expected, the X meat here is the most authentic, and coupled with a little XX, it's simply a delicacy!"

His other two companions had also agreed with him.

Subsequently, another burly man said, "Let's go and gamble a round or two after eating. I've gotten someone read my future and they said that I will be making a large fortune this time. Hahaha..."

"Not bad. However, we're here to sell goods. It's fine to gamble, but don't forget the time."

"How could I possibly forget. Where would I get the money if I don't sell the goods?"

The burly men toasted to each other and each one drank the whole bowl of alcohol in one breath.

Zi Yi then shifted her attention to another table. Both of the people sitting at the table did not look too old and they seemed to be from a country near the Bermuda Triangle.

"I heard that a beautiful woman will be auctioned off tonight. She was sent over here from the Mei Race."

"Really?" The other party rubbed his hands in excitement. "I heard that women who are trained by the Mei Race are simply the best in that aspect. It can make people die from lust!"

"Hehe, that's right. Let's go and take a look later. Perhaps if we're lucky, we can manage to buy that woman. We'll play with her together if that happens, it'll surely be extremely enjoyable."

"Hehe..."

Hearing their wretched laughter, Zi Yi tilted her head and looked at Lu Jingye. In the next second, she shifted her attention to Lu Yunxiao.

Lu Yunxiao sipped on the tea with an expressionless face as if he had not noticed her gaze.

Just then, a large palm pressed on Zi Yi's head and Lu Jingye's helpless voice sounded. "Don't find a random woman for Yunxiao."

Zi Yi shrugged her shoulders. "I was only thinking if we should head over to the auction and see how attractive the woman that was sent over by the Mei Race is."

"Women from the Mei Race start learning the art of seduction when they are young. It's not that they are attractive."

With a scorching gaze, Zi Yi looked at Lu Jingye who explained to her with a calm expression. She asked, "How do you know this?"

"I have traded with their patriarch before."

"..." Zi Yi could not hold back and continued asking as she held his arm, "What did you trade?"

To have traded with the Mei Race, could it be that they had traded the women?

Her man had unexpectedly traded with the Mei Race in the past!

Lu Jingye was amused by Zi Yi's puffed-up cheeks and he patted her hand. "What's that little brain of yours thinking all day long? I have dealt with an extensive range of things in the past and the Mei Race does not only trade the women they have. They also do proper trades."

Zi Yi was silent for a few seconds and let go of him. "... Alright then. Based on your old-fashioned personality, I doubt you would do anything out of line either."

Lu Jingye: "..."

Lu Yunxiao who was seated next to them: "..."

In the end, the trio left the restaurant without eating much.

After entering the lobby, they found it was crowded with people.

It was noisy and bustling.

From a first glance, those people did not seem like nice people.

Lu Jingye explained to Zi Yi about the layout here.

"The first floor is rather mixed. There are areas for meals and dancing places. The second floor is the casino. The third floor contains private rooms and all private transactions are held there. The fourth floor is where the trading of explicit things happens.

"The first level of the basement is a fighting ring and the second level of the basement is where the auction is.

"Other than the third and fourth floor, you can go anywhere you like."

Zi Yi thought about it and said, "Why don't we go and check out the casino?"

Speaking of this, her lips curved up. "We can win some money to buy stuff at the auction house."

Lu Jingye nodded his head and the three of them headed up to the second floor together.

After they reached the second floor, what they saw was a large hall.

There were all sorts of different games, but all of them were crowded with people.

Everyone playing at the tables were surrounded by many spectators. From time to time, there would be voices of cheering or wailing.

The three of them casually looked around and Zi Yi asked Lu Jingye, "Ah Jing, do you know how to gamble?"

Lu Jingye nodded. "Yes. So does Yunxiao."

Zi Yi rubbed her hands together and she said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go and experience all the games here."












Chapter 709: Won too Much and Got Stopped By the Casino Manager

Zi Yi did not expect the two brothers to be so good at gambling. In less than half an hour, they had been stopped by one of the managers of the casino.

The tone of the manager was considered polite, but the words he said had no room for refusal, "Dear customers, according to the rules of the casino, as long as the customer wins 20 rounds consecutively, they have to enter private rooms to gamble. Please follow me."

Zi Yi looked at Lu Jingye with a confused look.

"There's such a rule here?"

Lu Jingye explained to her calmly. "They think that we are cheating."

Zi Yi was silent for several seconds before she asked, "Then who will we be gambling with later?"

"It might be the gambling experts employed by the casino or the rich bosses."

In any case, the casino will get individuals who are good at gambling to compete with them.

"What are the consequences if they determine that we are cheating?"

"They'll break your hands and legs."

Zi Yi shifted her attention to the manager and spoke in the international common language. "If we win, will you prevent us from leaving?"

The manager's lips twitched at her words and he guaranteed her. "Miss, do be assured. We are doing long-term business here and as long as you have that ability, even if you were to win the entire casino establishment, our boss will give it to you with both hands."

The manager thought deep down: "I've already exaggerated my words to such an extent, I don't believe you won't follow me."

Zi Yi looked relieved after she heard him. However, she seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Can I start a live broadcast then?"

The manager's expression changed.

As soon as she saw the change in his expression, she grabbed Lu Jingye's clothes and hid behind him.

Lu Jingye looked at the manager in displeasure.

The manager took a deep breath and said, "This should be your first time here and you are still unaware of our rules here. We do not allow any live broadcasts here, and not even taking photos is allowed."

What a joke, this was the Bermuda Triangle where dragons and snakes mingled together. Nine out of 10 of the individuals here did not wish to be revealed to the public and in particular, those top bosses. If this girl really held a live broadcast, wouldn't the face of the bosses here be shown on the internet and let the international police catch their tail?"

Zi Yi looked at the manager whose expression had changed several times and she finally stopped asking.

The manager invited them once again. "Dear customers, please follow me."

"At the very least, you have to tell us who we are gambling with? Also, how long will the game last? We still have to make our way to the auction later and I don't want to miss it."

The manager said, "Miss, there's no need to worry. I guarantee that we will let you leave before the start of the auction."

As long as they confirmed that these three people were not cheating, obviously, he would not make things difficult for them.

Only then did Zi Yi say to the two brothers in a satisfied tone, "In that case, let's go and play."

She even added. "I'll gamble this time and strive to win all the money from the opponent!"

The manager: "..."

This girl is building castles in the air1!

Lu Jingye glanced at Zi Yi who was purposely acting naughty and stroked her head. "Alright."

Recommended for you

The manager who had a straight face was laughing to himself deep down inside.

"Dear customers, please."

Only then did the three of them follow the manager into the private rooms.

Behind the hall was where the private rooms were.

This clubhouse covered an area of at least 2000 ping (one ping is equivalent to 3.3057 square meters). It was very large and not to mention the entire floor was a casino.

There were many different private rooms. The room they entered was Room Three."

There were already several people seated inside the private room. Also, Lu Jingye had recognized all of them.

He said to Zi Yi, "They are all the bosses of several different industries."

Lu Jingye did not specifically tell her what industries they were in.

However, he had more or less told Zi Yi that these people were rich.

There was only a transparent long table around three meters long and two meters wide in the room. The bosses were all seated at the opposite end of the table. Among them, there was someone who gave off a different feeling compared to the rest.

Before Lu Jingye had the chance to tell Zi Yi who that person was, the manager introduced him. "You will be gambling with these bosses today and they have invited the gambling king, Mr. Qiao Luosi... The three of you can have a discussion about who will be stepping out to gamble."

"I'll do it. What are we gambling?" Zi Yi was very curious. "How much is the minimum bet?"

The moment Zi Yi asked that question, everyone across the tablet looked at her like she was a beginner.

This girl did not know anything and yet, she dared to come here and gamble? It seems like she's here to gift them money.

However, does such a beginner-looking girl have the money to gamble with them?

At the thought of this, one of the bosses frankly said, "Our minimum bet is a hundred thousand and there's no maximum bet. If you don't have that much money, you had better not join in."

Another boss added. "Also, take out one of the business licenses for your company to let us have a look."

None of them knew these three people and perhaps they were individuals who wanted to try their luck with a few pennies.

They did not have that much time to play around with them.

Zi Yi did not expect that they would need a business license and she turned to look at Lu Jingye. "Oppa, what should we do if we didn't bring our business license?"

Lu Jingye was suddenly stirred up by the way she called him. He narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Call me again."

Zi Yi blinked her eyes in confusion.

Lu Jingye said, "Call me that again and I'll give you whatever you want."

Zi Yi had never heard such provocative words from Lu Jingye before and she felt inexplicably happy deep down. Her cheeks were even slightly red.

Thus, she called out once again, "Oppa~"

With a sharp gaze, Lu Jingye looked at the group of people sitting opposite them. Their gazes were all looking at Zi Yi. He then took out a black card and asked, "We don't have our business license. We only have this card. Are we able to gamble with you?"

The people sitting down had their eyes wide open.

In the next second, all of them responded. "Of course, yes you can."

Even the manager became very polite and personally went over to pull out chairs for the three of them. "Distinguished customers, please take a seat."

Inside the surveillance room.

The manager looked at the situation inside Room Three and he hastily said to one of the staff members, "Go and report to the boss and tell him that a black card customer is here tonight."

As soon as the staff member was about to leave, the manager quickly called out, "Forget it, I'll personally report to him."

He then trotted off and went to look for the boss.

...

Zi Yi, Lu Jingye, and Lu Yunxiao went over and took a seat.

When the bosses sitting on the opposite side saw that Zi Yi was sitting in the middle while the two men sat either side of her, all of them revealed surprised expressions.

One of the bosses raised his voice and asked, "Is this young lady going to gamble with us?"

"Can't I?" Zi Yi looked at them.

"Sure, you can!"

Why would they stop her? It's obvious that this woman looked like someone who did not know how to gamble. If they gambled with her tonight, wouldn't everyone profit?

The bosses tried to control their excitement, and they were even afraid that the three of them might suddenly change their minds. Thus, one of the bosses said eagerly, "Let's begin."

The manager personally went to get the chips.

Both sides had a box of chips and as soon as the manager was about to speak, the door was suddenly opened.

They saw a few strong-looking men accompanying a man coming in. The aura he radiated was very unique. It was both good and bad, and one could not discern his real inclination.











Chapter 710: Zi Yi Showing Them Who Is the Real Gambling God

When the manager and staff members saw the man, they immediately called out respectfully, "Boss."

The man did not bother to look at them as he walked towards where the three of them were.

His eyes were on Lu Jingye who was seated on Zi Yi's left side and he spoke in Chinese. "Welcome."

Recommended for you

His words surprised the group of people across the table.

Lu Jingye turned around and they made eye contact.

Two seconds later, the man suddenly smiled. He walked to the middle of the table and said to the manager, "Pass me the cards, I'll handle this."

The bosses seated opposite Zi Yi were so shocked that they widened their eyes.

However, the man looked at Zi Yi and asked with a smile, "This... Madam here, are you sure you are going to be the one to gamble with them?"

Zi Yi looked at the cards in his hands and said, "As long as none of you cheat, I believe my luck will be better than theirs."

The group of bosses sitting opposite her revealed disdainful expressions at the same time.

They had invited a gambling god and it was unlikely that they could not win against a woman.

"It's better not to talk too big too early."

"As expected of a woman. You're relying on the fact that your man has a black card and thus, you dare to act so unruly."

"Since that's the case, don't blame us for being rude."

The man waited for everyone to finish their conversation before he started shuffling the cards.

His shuffling technique was very professional but fancy at the same time. Everyone was looking at the cards flying around in the air.

Sometime later, he asked, "What game do you intend to play?"

Recommended for you

"The one with the highest points wins."

Zi Yi agreed. "I don't mind."

Lu Jingye and Lu Yunxiao did not make any comments, it was as if they were really here to just accompany Zi Yi and allowed her to play in whatever way she liked.

Everyone's gaze, however, consciously and subconsciously turned to Lu Jingye.

They were thinking about how they could get more money out of his black card.

The man started to deal the cards.

Zi Yi and the gambling god both drew three cards.

Their cards were facing down.

This was the first time Zi Yi gambled and she found it particularly novel. She asked Lu Jingye, "Ah Jing, which ones are the biggest number?"

"The number ten card gets you the most points. Jack, queen, king and ace are all 1 point."

As soon as Lu Jingye said that, the dealer said, "Yes, the rule is the same for this game in all casinos."

Zi Yi nodded her head and the bosses sitting opposite her looked down on her even more.

Recommended for you

She didn't even know the rules of the game and yet, she was here to gamble. It seems like she was really here to give them money.

One of the bosses on the other side pushed a pile of chips and placed them in the center. "I'll bet five million."

Another one also pushed a pile of chips forward. "Three million."

Someone else. "Four million."

"Five million."

Zi Yi looked at the chips they pushed out and glanced at Lu Jingye.

He said, "You can put as many chips as you like."

Zi Yi looked at the chips on her side and was just about to stand up to push them forward.

The manager standing next to them enthusiastically said, "Madam, how many chips do you tend to bet? I'll help you."

"10 million."

The manager pushed out 10 million worth of chips.

The bosses made eye contact with each other and one of them said to the gambling god. "Reveal one card first."

Recommended for you

The gambling king first covered one of the cards with his hand and slowly moved it to the front, before he slowly revealed it.

The bosses who had been holding their breaths instantly burst out laughing at the sight of this.

"10 points. Hahaha!"

The gambling king also smiled.

He revealed a pleased smile.

"Madam, it's your turn."

"Do I reveal one card too?"

"Yes."

Zi Yi did not act like how the opponent did when he revealed the card. She straightforwardly flipped the card and the number was shown.

The bosses furrowed their brows at the sight of the card.

"Why is it 10 points too?"

"It may just be luck."

"It's normal for a beginner to have good luck with their first cards."

Zi Yi looked at how they comforted themselves and smiled. "Are we continuing?"

"Continue. I'll bet 10 million this time and let's reveal the remaining two cards."

One of the bosses pushed 10 million worth of chips to the middle.

The other three had also followed suit and pushed in their chips.

At the same time, one of them purposely said, "You're gambling with the four of us and it should make more sense if you meet our stakes?"

Even though they were confident about winning, if they could win all the opponent's chips earlier, perhaps she might exchange for an additional box and it would be even better! One box of chips was worth 100 million.

Zi Yi nodded her head. "In that case, I'll bet 50 million."

The manager standing by the side quickly pushed out 50 million worth of chips.

The opponent's gazes lit up.

"Flip the cards."

The man standing in the middle looked at Zi Yi with great interest.

In the end, he shifted his gaze to Lu Jingye's calm expression. Lu Jingye was so calm to the extent as if 50 million was merely five dollars in his point of view.

Can he say that it was expected of Lu Jingye to allow his woman to play such high stakes, without even batting an eyelid?

The bosses seated opposite them said generously, "We'll let you reveal your cards first."

Zi Yi did not reveal her cards as quickly as before. She had also mysteriously covered her cards and took a glance before she put them down. "You first."

The bosses held their breaths and were nearly choked by Zi Yi's actions. However, they simply thought that her remaining two cards were not as great and so, she dared not reveal her cards. All of them got excited once again.

The few of them said to the gambling god, "Reveal your cards."

The gambling god had been rather straightforward this time as he immediately revealed both cards.

"Hahaha... Two nines. We have 28 points and we're sure to win."

Zi Yi also smiled. "Who said so?"

She then flipped her cards.

When the opponents saw three 10s on the opposite table, they all nearly jumped up in shock.

The gambling god seated in the middle even said in disbelief, "How is that possible?! How could you have three 10s?"

Zi Yi was puzzled. "Isn't there four 10s in a deck of cards? You have one 10, so what's the problem if I have three?"

"You must have cheated!"

Zi Yi sneered. "You claim that I cheated just because you lost. Is it that you can't afford to gamble?"

Just then, the man standing in the middle also spoke up. His tone of voice was cold and heavy. "I handed out the cards and I was also monitoring the opening of the cards. Do you think it's possible that anyone could cheat under my nose?"

The other side were all speechless.

Zi Yi smiled and motioned to the manager. "Collect all the chips."

The manager quickly moved the large pile of chips in the middle over to their side.

Zi Yi crossed her arms and looked at them. "Are we continuing?"

"Yes, why not?"

They only lost by a little and they did not believe that her luck would continue forever.

The man in the middle dealt the cards.

The gambling king seated in the middle of the bosses said, "We'll open all the cards in one go."

As the gambling god, he had never once lost.

He felt that the woman had cheated.

The bosses had no opinion about it.

Zi Yi also said, "I don't mind."

The bosses made eye contact with each other and at the same time, they pushed out all the chips they had left. "We'll bet everything this time."

Zi Yi nodded. "Sure, I'll bet all my chips too. I'll be able to go elsewhere to play after we're done here."

As soon as she said that, the manager standing next to her had pushed out all the chips.
