Chapter 761: Why Did I Give Birth to a Son With Such Low EQ?!
Not before long, several other ladies had also followed them outside.
Nangong Yun and Tang Weiyang who were planning to find a way to get rid of each other had lost their chance.
Lu Yunxiao had never been surrounded by so many ladies before and they were not people he could resolve with violence. As a result, the cold air he radiated was even more powerful than usual.
The group of ladies who already felt cold were feeling even colder right now.
However, Lu Yunxiao had both appearance and ability and he was basically their ideal hero. If they could attract his attention... So what if they had to suffer from some slight cold?
Even so, this group of ladies only dared to stand a meter away from Lu Yunxiao.
"Instructor Lu..."
"The roses Auntie Lu planted are so beautiful. I've never seen such a beautiful rose before."
"This type of rose is extremely hard to grow and yet, Auntie Lu has succeeded. How amazing."
...
Lu Yunxiao remained silent all the way and the women did not know what to talk about. However, the moment Nangong Yun talked, the others immediately interrupted her.
After all, since this woman addressed Lu Yunxiao as instructor, she must be from the military. How could they possibly allow her to have a common topic with him?
"Third Brother Lu, do you enjoy tea? Auntie Lu likes drinking tea and I've had the chance to have tea with her before."
"Third Brother Lu, will you be staying in the capital longer this time around? Let's go out to have fun someday soon."
"Third Brother Lu..."

Nangong Yun, who was soon pushed to the back, crossed her arms and looked at the ladies in front of her with a cool gaze. A sneer curved on her lips.
These people are so proactive, but they still do not dare to approach Instructor Lu.
Right now, she was no longer in a hurry. In any case, she could still work together with Instructor Lu in the future.
At the thought of this, Nangong Yun saw another lady deliberately pushing someone else. At the same time, she pretended to trip and wanted to fall towards Lu Yunxiao,
"AH-!"
Without a second thought, Nangong Yun quickly stretched out her hand to grab the lady.
However, the lady seemed to be determined to fall into Lu Yunxiao's arms and she quickly broke away from Nangong Yun's grip.
Nangong Yun got anxious and she accidentally pushed her to the side.
"AH-!"
BAM!
"Wuuu."
Looking at the woman who fell to the ground and started crying, the other ladies also looked at Nangong Yun.
She looked at her hand and thought about how she had not used any strength at all.
"You actually pushed her!"
"You're so rude."
...
Nangong Yun's expression turned dark.
The lady who fell to the ground looked at Lu Yunxiao who was standing there with an expressionless face. She sucked in the cold air and asked, "Third Brother Lu, my ankle hurts. Can you carry me?"
Lu Yunxiao's brow finally knitted together ever so slightly. He did not like to be in contact with the opposite sex.
However, if she were to continue sitting on the ground, his Mother would definitely be led over later.
Nothing had ever stumped Lu Yunxiao when he was working on missions. But at that very moment, he was stumped by this young lady.
The moment she asked that from Lu Yunxiao, the other ladies immediately recovered their senses.
She did that on purpose.
The two ladies standing next to her moved and each of them helped her up on both sides.
"Yanling, we'll help you up."
Having said that, they forcefully helped her to stand up.
Lu Yunxiao inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.
These ladies were not easy to deal with and he planned to find a reason to leave.
"You..."
The moment Lu Yunxiao spoke, all the ladies looked at him eagerly.
Third Brother Lu had actually talked to them!
How exciting!
Lu Yunxiao was stunned by the light in their eyes and his expressionless face stiffened. "You should go in."
The ladies shook their heads at the same time. "We're not going in."
"That's right. We still want to enjoy the flowers for a while."
"But if Third Brother Lu goes in, I'll go in too."
Lu Yunxiao: "..."
Lu Yunxiao looked at them expressionlessly and stood upright without speaking anymore.
A formless cold aura spread out.
The group of ladies felt even colder and goosebumps instantly appeared on their arms and legs.
"Ahchoo!"
All of a sudden, one of the ladies started sneezing.
The moment she sneezed, the rest seemed to have been infected as they started sneezing one after another.
Lu Yunxiao looked at them and said, "Go in."
None of them were willing to retreat and so, they stood there without moving.
Lu Yunxiao did not wish to stay there any longer but he did not return to the living room either, as he turned around and walked to where the fitness equipment was at.
"Third Brother Lu, where are you going? Ahchoo! Wait for me..."
The group of ladies quickly chased him. But they did not manage to keep up for long when the person who was originally right in front of them, disappeared without a trace.
The ladies looked at each other for a moment and subsequently...
"Ahchoo!"
"Ahchoo!"
Looking at the ladies who were sneezing in the rose garden, the housekeeper standing behind the door resisted the urge to rub his forehead.
The Third Young Master is too ruthless!
The housekeeper then revealed a concerned expression and headed over to them. "Dear ladies, it's cold outside. Please follow me into the living room."
"Ahchoo! Where did... Ahchoo! Third Brother Lu go?"
"Cough cough..."
The housekeeper gave them a sympathetic look and pondered over his words before he said, "The Third Young Master should have something urgent to deal with and he will be coming back to the living room later. Ladies, it's best that you head back to the living room, otherwise you'll catch a cold."
True to what the housekeeper said, the ladies were indeed down with a cold by the time they went back.
After Lu Yunxiao disappeared, he did not show himself even after the dinner banquet ended. Even though the housekeeper and the helpers went around the villa in search of him, they did not manage to find out his whereabouts.
When all the guests were sent back, Mrs. Lu was so angry that she stomped her foot. "That brat! How dare he disappear in the middle of the banquet? And he even caused a few ladies to come down with a cold! Why did I even give birth to a son with such low EQ?!"
Zi Yi and Lu Jingye sat there without making a sound.
Lu Jianlin who was sitting next to Mrs. Lu comforted her. "At least Yunxiao was still around during the first half of the banquet and he also hung out with a group of ladies for a while."
At the mention of this, Mrs. Lu flared up. She then took her frustration out on his arm. "You still have the cheek to say that? This is all your fault. If you didn't insist on training him into being an emotionless machine, would he have done such a thing?"
Lu Jianlin: "..."
Mrs. Lu pointed at his nose and threatened him. "Lu Jianlin, if you don't find Yunxiao today, you can go and sleep in the study."
Lu Jianlin: "..."
Even after Mrs. Lu threatened him, she was still angry.
Zi Yi hastily passed her a cup of tea and said, "Mom, don't be angry. Yunxiao doesn't like those ladies and it's no use trying to force him. This will only make him have the opposite feeling."
Mrs. Lu took the cup and took a sip. In the end, she sighed. "Yiyi, you don't know... If I don't force him now and let him know that he still has to find a girlfriend and get married, he won't even know what's the meaning of having a girlfriend and a wife in another two years' time."
Mrs. Lu felt that men and women were only human in her youngest son's point of view. This type of thought was the most dangerous.
"This won't do. I have to arrange blind dates for him for the next few days."
Having said that, Mrs. Lu glared at Lu Jianlin. "Your task is to watch him go on a blind date and make sure it lasts for at least thirty minutes. Or else, you don't have to come back either!"
Lu Jianlin: "..."
Chapter 762: Tasted Mint-flavored Toothpaste
Mrs. Lu was coaxed by Zi Yi and ended up going up to bed to rest.
Before she went up, she said to the father and son, "Go and find Yunxiao and just wait and see how I'll take care of him in the morning!"
Lu Jingye said, "Mother, don't worry. We'll look for him later."
Only then did Mrs. Lu head upstairs.
After Mrs. Lu went up, Lu Jianlin asked Lu Jingye with a serious expression, "Do you know where Yunxiao is?"
As soon as Lu Jingye was about to answer, Zi Yi suddenly pulled his sleeve and said to Lu Jianlin, "Father, why don't you go up and rest too? Yunxiao has never been in contact with so many women all at once and he must find it uncomfortable. Let Ah Jing find him later. They have a good relationship and Ah Jing will have a good talk with him. It's better than using coercive methods on him."
Lu Jianlin also understood his youngest son's personality. He was a little worried that Yunxiao might just leave and head to the secret guard's base and not be willing to spend the New Year's at home. He thought about it and nodded. "Alright, you go and have a good talk with him."
Having said that, he headed upstairs.
He wouldn't dare to return to the bedroom at this time and planned to do some work in the study room and wait for his wife to fall asleep before going in.
1
After Lu Jianlin went upstairs, Zi Yi looked at Lu Jingye.
Lu Jingye patted her hand and said, "It's late. You should go and rest too."
Zi Yi nodded her head and said, "Have a good chat with Yunxiao."
"Mmh"
Lu Jingye found Lu Yunxiao in a hidden compartment in the building behind the villa.
This building was used as a storeroom. There were all sorts of items stored there and at the top of it was a hidden compartment that was two meters high and had a skylight.

Lu Yunxiao was currently sitting under the window and looking at the night sky in a daze.
Lu Jingye's movements when he came up were rather loud and Lu Yunxiao guessed that it was him. He did not immediately look away from the window.
Lu Jingye was holding onto two jars of wine. After he came upstairs, he threw one of the jars at him and Lu Yunxiao accurately caught it.
The both of them opened the lid and started drinking soundlessly.
After drinking for some time, Lu Jingye said, "Mother is doing this for your sake."
Lu Yunxiao said, "I know."
Lu Jingye looked at him. "Do you know that you have now become even more reluctant to get along with the opposite sex in recent years? This is very dangerous for you."
Lu Yunxiao continued to drink with his eyes lowered. His expression was not as cold as when he faced outsiders. However, he still had an expressionless face.
Lu Jingye looked at him and said, "I know you're worried that once you get emotional, it will be easier to make mistakes during your missions. However, have you ever thought of what's the difference between living and dying if you do not have anything holding you back?"
At the mention of this, Lu Jingye paused for some time. He raised the jar and drank a sip before he continued.
"You know Mother never believed in Buddhism before. However after you took over the secret guards, she started believing in it. She would occasionally bring up your life events in the past and never forced you. However, she has now been trying every means possible to make you fall for a woman. It's not that she suddenly changed her mind. It's because you almost dying has hit her really hard."
Lu Yunxiao listened to Lu Jingye talk and he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. He still had his eyes lowered and he looked at the jar of wine in his hands.
Lu Jingye said, "Even though Mother had never said anything, did you notice that she seemed to have aged considerably after your accident? Even though Yiyi has been helping to condition her health, she can never return to her previous state.
"What Mother wants isn't much. As long as we are happy and have someone to accompany us, she will be satisfied."
Lu Jingye stopped talking and raised the jar to toast him with the jar in Lu Yunxiao's hand.
The two brothers drank in silence.
Subsequently, none of them talked. After they finished the jar of wine, Lu Jingye patted his shoulders. "Let's go. Return to your room to rest, stop enjoying the cold wind here. If you catch a cold, the one who will feel distressed is also Mother."
Lu Yunxiao nodded his head and put the jar aside. The two brothers headed downstairs together.
Lu Jingye returned to the bedroom and saw that Zi Yi had fallen asleep. He reduced the sound of his footsteps and went to wash up.
However, the moment he lay down on the bed, Zi Yi woke up and moved over. She immediately smelled a faint scent of alcohol on his body.
"You've been drinking." Zi Yi hugged his neck and muttered unhappily. "I didn't even get to drink."
Lu Jingye was amused by her words and said, "I helped you test the taste of this batch of wine."
"Hmph, do you think I'm a three-year-old child?" As soon as she said that, she looked up and bit his lips. "Give me a taste."
Lu Jingye opened his mouth and caught her tongue.
Their lips melded together while their tongues tangled with each other.
Lu Jingye let her go when he was about to lose control. His voice sounded hoarse as he asked, "So did you taste anything?"
Zi Yi panted and said, "I tasted mint-flavored toothpaste."
Lu Jingye pressed his forehead against hers and chuckled.
Early the next morning.
As soon as Zi Yi arrived at the top of the staircase, she heard Mrs. Lu lecturing Lu Yunxiao.
"You're almost 25 years old and even if you don't like those ladies, you shouldn't have let them stand outside to endure the cold wind for so long! Early in the morning, I received news that quite a few of them had fallen sick last night and were admitted to the hospital. How am I supposed to maintain my dignity in front of other people? Sigh! This is so embarrassing!"
While Mrs. Lu was talking, she covered her face as though she would feel less humiliated if she did that.
Zi Yi saw Mrs. Lu's reaction and knew that her anger had dissipated. She smiled and continued going downstairs.
Lu Yunxiao was just like a student being lectured by the head teacher, as he stood there with a straight posture.
"Mother, I was wrong."
Mrs. Lu uncovered her face and asked with a wooden expression, "Where were you wrong?"
Lu Yunxiao said, "I should not have let them stand outside in the cold."
"What else?"
Lu Yunxiao opened his mouth, but he could not think of anything else he had done wrong and so he closed his mouth.
......
The mother and son had a staring contest.
Just then, Lu Jingye who was quietly sitting on the sofa turned around to see Zi Yi walking down the stairs.
The two other people had also looked over.
At the sight of Zi Yi, Mrs. Lu's expression instantly eased. "Yiyi, why did you wake up so early? You slept so late last night and so you should have slept more."
"I've already had enough sleep." Zi Yi walked over to Mrs. Lu and held her arm as she said, "Mom, don't scold Yunxiao anymore. His personality is just like that. Even if you lecture him, he wouldn't know what he did wrong."
In the end, she glanced at the expressionless Lu Yunxiao and said, "What Mom means is that you shouldn't have disappeared in the middle of the banquet, this isn't good."
Lu Yunxiao nodded his head and said to Mrs. Lu, "Mother, I was wrong."
Mrs. Lu waved her hand and said, "Go, go, go. Just the sight of you right now makes me angry. In the following days, I will arrange a few blind dates for you. No matter whether you like it or not, you're not allowed to miss the appointment."
Lu Yunxiao stared at her. "...I understand, Mother."
Ziyi gave Lu Yunxiao a sympathetic look and held Mrs. Lu's hands as they walked to the sofa. She then purposely changed the subject.
Lu Jingye stood up and motioned for Lu Yunxiao to go out with him.
"Mom, Yiyi, Yunxiao and I will go out for our morning exercises now."
Having said that, the both of them left.
Chapter 763: Cousin Yiyi, Did You Check Your Social Media?
When the Lu brothers arrived at the backyard, Lu Jianlin just so happened to be doing morning exercises there. The moment he saw Lu Yunxiao coming over, he stopped and said with a stern face, "You had better attend the blind dates. At the very least, you have to sit with them for a full 30 minutes. I will have my men keeping watch."
Lu Yunxiao: "...I understand."
...
It was already the 25th of the twelfth lunar month which brought them even closer to the New Year.
Even though Zi Yi and Lu Jingye moved back to the Lu Family's villa and Mrs. Lu had made them have a good rest, it was impossible to rest the entire day.
Needless to say, Lu Jingye had tons of work to arrange and he had left for the jewelry store early in the morning.
Zi Yi had a lot of follow-up work to do after yesterday's art exhibition.
Even though Lu Jingye had sent Secretary Shao over to help her, she still returned to the art gallery after lunch.
Unexpectedly, there were reporters surrounding the art gallery.
The moment they saw Zi Yi alighting from her car, they immediately came forward and circled around her.
"Miss Zi, can we ask you a few questions?"
Zi Yi had brought along a few bodyguards with her. The bodyguards immediately stopped the reporters at the sight of them approaching Zi Yi.
However, Zi Yi stopped and said with indifference, "Secretary Shao should have mentioned whatever needs to be said yesterday. Stop staying outside my art gallery all day."
A few reporters were stunned and one of them hastily said, "We'll just ask a few questions. We'll leave after we finish asking."
Just then, Dou Xiangling and Ian who arrived first heard the commotion and came out.
You are reading on MYBO XN 0 V E L. COM
Ian asked, "What happened?"
The reporter hastily said, "We just want to ask a few questions. We'll leave right away after asking."
Ian pondered for a second and said to Zi Yi and Dou Xiangling, "Dou, Zi, you two can go in first. I'll handle it from here."
The moment the reporters heard Ian, they got anxious. The person they wanted to interview the most was Zi Yi.
One of the reporters immediately asked eagerly, "Miss Zi, were you angry after reading the comment made by Joseph, an oil painter from Country Y?"
Zi Yi looked at the reporter. "What comment?"
The reporters blanked out for a second. "Miss Zi doesn't know?"
"Should I know?" Zi Yi asked instead of answering. "I'm very busy. Why should I know such unimportant things?"
The reporter was speechless. Zi Yi and Dou Xiangling turned around and headed towards the entrance of the art gallery.
By the time they arrived at the door, the reporters had finally recovered their senses and become even more excited.
So it turns out that Miss Zi doesn't even know of the criticism Joseph had made.
In that case, it was most likely that Miss Zi also didn't know that there was a huge sensation over the internet because of it and her art gallery.
If they were to release this news right now, wouldn't it cause another huge wave of discussion?"
Ian knew what the reporters were thinking about by looking at their expressions. "Ladies and gentlemen, you can ask questions, but in the future, activities of our [Future Gallery] will be directly published on our official website. I hope that you do not stay guard here all the time. After all, Zi and Dou aren't celebrities and they need to have privacy."
Ian's words sounded extremely gentlemanly, but the reporters somehow felt that there was a hint of a command mixed in.
The reporters received a shock and knew that they could not offend the person in front of them. They quickly said, "Yes, of course, we understand."
...
Zi Yi glanced at Ian who was standing outside answering the reporter's questions. She turned around and said to Dou Xiangling with a smile, "Cousin, what do you think about having Ian be the public relations officer for our art gallery in the future?"
Dou Xiangling smiled. "Ian shouldn't have that much free time on his hands."
Zi Yi thought about her research lab and nodded. "You're right. After all, I still need him to look after my lab for me."
Dou Xiangling walked over to Zi Yi's side and looked outside with her.
Ian gave off the air of a noble from head to toe. He was used to being gentlemanly and even when facing reporters, he still looked like a gentleman.
Someone like that was indeed very attractive.
Zi Yi watched for a while and headed elsewhere. She said to Dou Xiangling, "I'll go check our security system."
Dou Xiangling followed her.
They used many different types of materials not available in the world yet and there was no need to worry about security at all.
Dou Xiangling looked at Zi Yi operating the virtual screen and thought of something. "Cousin Yiyi, did you check your social media?"
"Nope." Zi Yi was not allowed to play with her phone or tablet at home. "Is something the matter?"
Dou Xiangling pursed her lips and smiled. "Your fans have exceeded 70 million."
Zi Yi was not surprised in the slightest. "I'm not a celebrity. Why do I need so many fans for?"
Dou Xiangling was unexpectedly speechless.
Just then a few red dots appeared on the virtual screen.
"What's that?"
"Our art gallery is being targeted."
Having said that, she brought up a virtual keyboard and quickly typed on it.
Dou Xiangling was worried. "Who is it?"
"XX Intelligence Bureau from Country A, YY Intelligence Bureau from Country K, ZZ Intelligence Bureau from Country D."
1
The more Dou Xiangling listened, the more shocked she was. When Zi Yi mentioned seven to eight different organizations, Dou Xiangling's heart rate sped up. A few moments later, she asked in worry, "What do they want?"
"It must be because of the design of the place." Ian was the one who said that.
Ian walked in from the entrance and looked at the red dots on the virtual screen. "Zi, are you able to take care of them?"
"Yes."
Zi Yi looked very calm. It was to the extent that it seemed to be a small matter in her opinion.
Sometime later, they saw several lines on the virtual screen and these lines were all connected to the red dots.
Subsequently, the red dots disappeared.
Ian asked, "Did you take care of them?"
"I shifted them away."
As soon as Zi Yi said that, she turned off the virtual screen.
Ian was momentarily stunned before he gave her a thumbs up. "That's a good idea. After taking care of them, they will definitely use other methods to stare at the art gallery. It would be better to shift their attention away. However, I'm very curious. Where did you shift them to?"
"A company of Country A in the capital. I changed the data of the company. Those people will only think that they are tracking our side."
Ian and Dou Xiangling laughed at her words.
The three of them discussed the follow-up exhibition for the art gallery.
After they finished discussing, Ian asked Zi Yi, "Zi, do you want to go out and play tonight?"
He then looked at Dou Xiangling. "Xiangling and I discussed it. Our art exhibition went smoothly and we should celebrate."
Dou Xiangling glanced at Ian. She doesn't seem to have agreed to his idea and only mentioned asking for her cousin's opinion first...
Zi Yi shook her head. "I'm not going."
Mrs. Lu mentioned that she would be preparing soup for her and she could not possibly make her disappointed every time.
Seeing that Zi Yi wasn't going, Dou Xiangling said, "Then I won't go either. It'll be the New Year's soon and everyone is busy."
Ian revealed a disappointed expression. "Alright then. Your country does indeed have tons of preparations that need to be done for the New Year's. When would the both of you be free then? We can get together, especially with Lu but will he have time?"
"Before New Year's Eve, we should be quite busy."
"Sigh... it seems like I can only hang around alone." Ian decided to call An Wei out tonight for a drink.
At around 4 p.m., Zi Yi sat in the car and went back.
Unexpectedly, not long after the car drove out they were met with a traffic jam.
Zi Yi tilted her head and looked outside, only to see a familiar person.
Chapter 764: Yang Yuelan Secretly Meeting With First Madam Lu
Zi Yi got the driver to pull over.
After the car came to a stop, she took out her phone and gave Shadow a command. "Follow Yang Yuelan."
Yang Yuelan grabbed her handbag and quickly entered a coffee shop. After she went in and the staff member asked her how many seats she would be needing, she stopped looking around and said, "I have an appointment with someone. Her surname is Chu."
The staff member immediately understood. "I understand. Madam, please follow me."
Yang Yuelan followed the staff member to a booth.
Inside the booth sat a woman wearing sunglasses and a mask. Yang Yuelan said to the staff member, "Bring me a cup of white coffee, and that will be all."
"Yes, please wait for a little while."
Yang Yuelan walked over and sat opposite the woman. After the staff member left, she still looked around anxiously. After confirming that no one was paying any attention, she called out, "Mother."
The First Madam nodded but did not immediately speak. After the staff member served the coffee, she took off her sunglasses and mask.
Yang Yuelan was startled by her present appearance.
The First Madam's eyes were swollen like walnuts and her previously well-maintained face had aged considerably.
"Mother, what happened to you?"
The First Madam started wiping her tears upon hearing the question. "I wasn't able to eat or sleep well in the countryside. Even when I come to the city, I have to be on guard. How could I possibly be in a good condition?"
Yang Yuelan took her hand and said, "Mother, just wait a little longer. I will find a way to get Grandfather to call you back."
The First Madam grabbed Yang Yuelan's hand and said, "Yuelan, you must think of something quickly. I don't want to stay in the countryside for another day longer."
You are reading on MYBO XN 0 V E L. COM
Having said that, she asked, "Is Zhiheng managing the company well?"
Yang Yuelan did not dare to tell her what happened yesterday, so she nodded.
The First Madam was relieved. She took out a large bag of medicinal ingredients and said, "I found a miracle doctor who is very good at treating that type of illness. She prescribed this medicine. Take this back and prepare it for Zhiheng to drink. If he drinks it for some time, the both of you will definitely have children."
Yang Yuelan quickly took the medicine and said, "Mother, don't worry. I will prepare the medicine according to your instructions."
The First Madam was confident in how Yang Yuelan did things, but she still reminded her. "Don't let your father know of this or he will get angry."
"Mother, I know."
The First Madam breathed a sigh of relief. She thought of something and asked, "I heard that the two of them returned. Did they visit Grandfather these days?"
"Only Second Brother returned to the main residence. Grandfather doesn't like Zi Yi and so how could they possibly let her return?"
The First Madam was relieved and she gave her a few reminders. As she was afraid that the people keeping a watch on her had discovered that she had returned to the capital, she hastily said, "In that case, I'll go back first. You must inform me when anything happens at home at the very first instance."
"I understand, Mother."
Mrs. Lu took her bag and left.
Yang Yuelan also left the coffee shop with the medicine in her hand.
Zi Yi put away her phone and realized that there was still a traffic jam. Just as she was about to get the driver to drive again, two foreigners came over from the side.
The two of them were clearly bodyguards.
They came over to Zi Yi's side and one of them knocked on the car window.
The bodyguard sitting in the co-pilot seat looked at Zi Yi from the rearview mirror and waited for her to speak.
Zi Yi nodded her head.
The bodyguard rolled down the window and the man outside said, "My employer would like to invite Miss Zi to have a cup of coffee."
He then passed a name card to the bodyguard inside the car. "My employer said that you will know who he is after you see his name card."
The bodyguard tilted his head slightly towards Zi Yi.
Zi Yi stretched out her hand and the bodyguard passed the name card to Zi Yi.
There were a few English letters printed on the name card.
[A.E.M]
Zi Yi ran her hands across the three letters and suddenly thought of an offer she received in her mailbox. She immediately guessed who it was and said coldly, "Tell Dr. Ellis that my Mother is waiting for me at home to have dinner. I won't be joining him for coffee."
She then said to the driver, "Drive."
The bodyguard rolled up the window and the traffic jam was finally eased. Their car was then able to drive out.
...
The two bodyguards only reacted when the car had driven away.
They then walked back to a private room in one of the coffee shops.
A middle-aged man was sitting in the private room. He was exuding a scholarly aura and at the same time, he seemed to possess wisdom and acted as though everything was under his control.
One of the bodyguards came up to him and said respectfully, "Dr. Ellis. Miss Zi said she will be going home to have dinner and she will not be coming for coffee."
There was a steaming cup of black coffee placed in front of him. Dr. Ellis seemed to have guessed this result before hearing what the bodyguard reported. He raised the cup of coffee and took a sip before he said, "Go and inquire about the recent whereabouts of the School of Technology's Dean. I'll pay him a visit tomorrow."
"Yes."
...
Zi Yi did a check on this Dr. Ellis after the car drove out.
There was very limited information about this guy online and it was obvious that his information was confidential.
However, this did not pose a difficult problem for Zi Yi. Soon, she hacked into the confidential archives of Country A and found this person.
On his file, it was written: Ellis, first-class doctor of Nuclear Fusion Engineering Mechanics. Researcher of M Institute for Nuclear Weapons in Country A.
After she finished reading his file, Zi Yi put away her phone.
On the other side.
Mrs. Lu had arranged two blind dates for Lu Yunxiao today.
The first blind date was in a downtown cafe.
His blind date was a lady of a scholarly family. She was introduced by Zi Yi's Eldest Aunt.
This young lady was clearly a little shy. She did not even dare to look at Lu Yunxiao after taking a seat.
Lu Yunxiao was also the type of person who could maintain silence if the other party did not talk.
As a result, both of them had sat like that for half an hour.
The moment the 30 minutes was up, Lu Yunxiao stood up and said, "We are not suitable."
1
As soon as Zhang Yue heard him, she suddenly looked up. She originally wanted to say something but Lu Yunxiao's sharp gaze had stumped her. She ended up lowering her head and said in a soft voice, "We haven't even introduced ourselves so how do you know if we are not suitable?"
Lu Yunxiao sat down again and introduced himself with a straight face. "Lu Yunxiao, 25-years-old. Has a special nature of work. Away all year round and there's a chance of not coming back forever after leaving."
"Ugh..." Zhang Yue looked at him, as she was startled by his words.
Lu Yunxiao looked at her expressionlessly and asked, "Do you think you can accept it?"
Zhang Yue subconsciously shook her head and only realized that her action was inappropriate in the next second. She blushed and wanted to explain herself, but was sent retreating due to Lu Yunxiao's expressionless face.
However, since it was a blind date, as a woman, she definitely would not want to be the side that gets walked out on. Therefore, she stood up, grabbed her bag, and said, "I think that we're not suitable. Goodbye."
She took her leave first after having said that.
However, what he did not expect was that the second blind date was the daughter of his father's subordinate. She had simply idolized him the moment she saw him.
"I've heard plenty of legends about you from my Father. You're basically a hero in my heart."
Lu Yunxiao looked at her expressionlessly.
Chapter 765: They Must Be Prepared To Be Widowed At Any Point In Time
Zhang Yinglan did not seem to mind either and she smiled brightly. "People like you seem to have the same characteristics of looking cold. However, I'm used to it. I feel that men are cooler with such a personality."
Lu Yunxiao was still looking at her expressionlessly.
Zhang Yinglan continued to talk and she continued talking for 20 minutes.
Lu Yunxiao had kept quiet throughout this whole period of time.
No matter how cheerful Zhang Yinglan was, it was a bit too much for someone to talk so long without stopping.
She asked tentatively, "Lu Yunxiao, what do you feel about me?"
Lu Yunxiao said, "Sorry."
"Why?" Zhang Yinglan could not quite accept his answer. "Do you think I have a bad personality or is it that you don't like me?"
Lu Yunxiao answered seriously, "I don't like you."
"..."
Two frown lines instantly appeared on her forehead. How could there be someone who would answer so bluntly? Doesn't he know that girls are thin-skinned?
However, it was impossible to make her retreat just like that. She thought about it and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't like me right now. We can get in touch more and perhaps you'll like me then."
Lu Yunxiao: "..."
Zhang Yinglan asked him, "What do you usually like to do?"
Lu Yunxiao replied, "Missions."

Zhang Yinglan said with a hint of exasperation, "I'm asking about your hobbies."
Lu Yunxiao looked at her. "Training."
Zhang Yinglan: "..."
After a period of silence, Zhang Yinglan refused to give up and continued to ask, "What do you usually like?"
Lu Yunxiao replied, "Guns."
Zhang Yinglan was a little speechless. "...Other than guns?"
Lu Yunxiao said, "Nothing."
After another wave of silence, Zhang Yinglan still refused to give up. "What requirements do you have of your other half?"
Lu Yunxiao looked at her expressionlessly.
Zhang Yinglan suddenly looked forward to his answer. At the same time, she was somewhat nervous and she subconsciously clenched her hands. "You can say whatever you want."
Lu Yunxiao looked down and said a few seconds later, "They must be prepared to be widowed at any point in time."
Zhang Yinglan's breathing turned sluggish and countless emotions surged in her heart. Even her eyes were turning red.
Just as she was about to make a statement, Lu Yunxiao added. "And to be capable of receiving three of my attacks."
At the very least, when his enemies come knocking on the door, she would be able to protect herself.
...
Zhang Yinglan widened her mouth and sometime later, she condemned him with a complicated tone of voice. "You actually hit women?"
Lu Yunxiao: "..."
When did he ever say anything about hitting a woman?
However, he was too lazy to figure it out.
Zhang Yinglan felt that she had worshiped the wrong person. She could not accept the fact that Lu Yunxiao would hit a woman. She suddenly stood up and said, "I think we're not suitable."
She left right away.
Lu Yunxiao sat there and reflected for a moment. When he deemed that he had not said anything wrong, he checked his watch.
Okay, the 30 minutes is up.
He could leave now.
Lu Yunxiao left the coffee shop and looked up at the skies.
Today's skies were gray and it seemed like it was going to snow soon.
Just then, his phone rang.
He took out his phone and took a look at the surroundings before he turned around and headed in another direction.
The men sent by Second Master Lu noticed that their target had disappeared in an instant and they made eye contact. Both of them were a little stumped.
One of them asked, "What should we do?"
The other said, "In any case, Third Young Master Lu has completed his blind dates and we can be considered to have completed our task too."
"You're right. At least we'll be able to report back."
At the mention of that, they made their way back feeling at ease.
Lu Yunxiao soon appeared on the rooftop of a tall building.
Many solar panels were installed on the rooftop. After walking in, the sight in front was full of silver.
People normally would not come up to a place like this.
Lu Yunxiao walked to the middle of the solar panels and soon, two people came over from the left side.
"Leader."
"What's the matter?"
"Recently, a group of mercenaries has sneaked into a few cities near the capital."
Lu Yunxiao instantly released a strong chilly aura and he said, "Immediately chase them down and take care of them as soon as there are any movements."
"Yes."
The both of them arrived soundlessly and left soundlessly.
Lu Yunxiao turned around and headed toward the stairs.
As soon as he arrived near the door, his phone rang.
The phone call was from Mrs. Lu.
He answered the call and Mrs. Lu's furious questioning immediately sounded. "You brat, what did you say to Miss Zhang?!"
Lu Yunxiao felt innocent. "I was only telling the truth."
"To hell with the truth." Mrs. Lu was clearly quite angry. "If you were telling the truth, why did the other party say that you will hit women in the future? I had found those good ladies for you after picking for a long time and this is how you fool them?"
How could Mrs. Lu not understand her own son? Other than the enemy, not to mention the opposite sex, he would not even know how to get along with them long enough let alone to spend enough time with them to beat them.
Lu Yunxiao denied it. "I didn't fool them."
He had never fooled anyone.
Mrs. Lu took deep breaths over the phone and a few seconds later, she gritted her teeth and said, "Don't force me to use my killer move."
Lu Yunxiao: "...Mother, I was wrong."
Mrs. Lu said, "You aren't wrong, I was the one in the wrong. I shouldn't have confidently let you go on a blind date alone... I've decided, I'll tag along with you for tomorrow's blind date."
Lu Yunxiao opened his mouth but did not say anything in the end.
Mrs. Lu was obviously angry and she lectured him for a few more minutes. After telling him to come back quickly, she hung up the phone.
Lu Yunxiao looked at his phone for a few seconds and finally made a decision as he called Zi Yi.
When Zi Yi received Lu Yunxiao's phone call, the car she was in had been stuck in another traffic jam.
Zi Yi answered the call with slight surprise. "Yunxiao, aren't you attending blind dates? Why did you call me?"
Lu Yunxiao asked, "Sister-in-law, can you lend me a female robot?"
Zi Yi asked doubtfully, "What for?"
The other party had remained silent.
Zi Yi immediately guessed his intention. "Don't tell me you are trying to use a robot to fool Mom?"
Lu Yunxiao still remained silent which was obviously him admitting to it.
Zi Yi pressed her forehead and said earnestly, "This isn't the right way."
Lu Yunxiao confessed. "I know."
Next... there was no next.
Zi Yi looked at the traffic jam in front of her and realized that she was rather close to the Song Jewelry store. She then said to the driver, "Go to the Song Jewelry store."
Subsequently, she said to Lu Yunxiao, "How about this. Come over to the Song Jewelry store. We have to find a solution for this but we can't make Mom sad."
Lu Yunxiao nodded. "Ok."
After hanging up the phone, Zi Yi gave Lu Jingye a call.
At that moment, Lu Jingye was holding an international conference in his office meeting room. The moment his phone rang, be it people from the office or people on the other side, all of them tacitly stopped talking.
Lu Jingye answered the phone. When he heard that Zi Yi was coming over, his eyes instantly turned tender.
"Alright, I'll get someone to order some food from the private kitchen that you like. We'll be able to have dinner when you arrive."
Zi Yi told him that Lu Yunxiao would also be coming.
Lu Jingye seemed to have guessed the reason and he nodded.
After hanging up the phone, the first thing he did was to send someone to order the food before he continued the meeting.
The group of subordinates were all smiling in their hearts.
Chapter 766: Lu Yunxiao Said: My Brother and Sister-In-Law Aren't Free Right Now
When the car arrived at the entrance of the Song Jewelry store and Zi Yi alighted from the car, the customers passing by in the vicinity stopped to look in her direction.
"Quick, look over there. Isn't that Miss Zi? She's so beautiful."
"Have you heard of yesterday's art exhibition? I heard that a foreign oil painter had criticized her, claiming that she was just pleasing the crowd. In the end, Miss Zi did not even have to step forward to say anything. She used her ten paintings to give him a slap in the face."
"There's more than that. Didn't you see the latest news? In fact, Miss Zi did not know that the oil painter had criticized her on the internet."
"Haha... in that case, doesn't it mean that the oil painter had become a clown singing his own monologue? Miss Zi did not even know of his existence and used her abilities to slap him across the face."
"Yes, yes. That's about it."
"But Miss Zi is really beautiful. If she were to enter the entertainment circle, not to mention those heavenly kings and divas, even the best looking ones in the circle cannot compare to her."
"How could Miss Zi possibly enter the entertainment circle? She's a wealthy lady. Based on her family status alone, they would not allow her to enter the entertainment industry either."
"You're right."
As soon as Zi Yi arrived at the door, she saw Lu Jingye coming over in large strides.
The Song Jewelry store was not currently open for business. Lu Jingye walked through the spacious and bright hall. With that height and aura of his, he seemed to be walking on a fashion runway.
Zi Yi went over to him and asked with a smile, "Are you done with your work?"
"Not yet. I was waiting for you and Yunxiao to come and have dinner while I'll continue working."
Zi Yi held his hand and said, "Hubby, it's hard on you."
Lu Jingye looked at her fairly flat belly and smiled. "It's not difficult."

The two of them headed upstairs together.
While walking, Zi Yi asked, "Did you manage to buy the mines in South Africa?"
"Yes. The first batch of gems will be shipped back in the following few days."
Zi Yi smiled. "Right now, everyone is guessing why our Song Jewelry is not yet open for business."
"Let them guess all they like."
After the gems were shipped over, the Lu Family's Jewelry Studio would start processing them in the following two months. After that, Song Jewelry will open twenty branches worldwide.
At the same time, they would introduce diamond and jade jewelry sets.
Since Lu Jingye was working on it, he would aim to be the best worldwide.
When the two of them went upstairs, those who saw Zi Yi would stop and greet her.
Zi Yi thought about something and asked Lu Jingye, "The two cutting machines I modified, are those enough?"
"Yes."
After Zi Yi came back, she had gone to the warehouse to modify two of the cutting machines. On that side, they would not have to worry about not being able to supply sufficient gems anymore.
There were more people on the third floor. All of them were subordinates who had followed Lu Jingye over.
"Hello, Mrs. President."
"Good evening, Mrs. President."
When they made their way over to the President's office, Secretary Shao came over and informed them. "The dishes from the private restaurant will be arriving in ten minutes."
Lu Jingye nodded his head and went into his office with Zi Yi.
After going in, Zi Yi pulled Lu Jingye to sit on the sofa in the reception area and told him about what happened at the art gallery.
Lu Jingye's expression looked slightly cold. However, this was within his expectations. "It's normal that the art gallery will be targeted."
Having said that, he pondered over it for a while and said, "Even if you transfer the surveillance devices, those people would still send people over to personally inquire."
Zi Yi's art gallery and bar had always been the focus of attention from the outside world. There was futuristic technology in both businesses. Not only those big bosses wanted to get their hands on it, but even the higher-ups of various authorities."
"There are many robots at the bar and there's no need to worry about that. However, there's a need to pay attention to the art gallery."
In particular, it would be the New Year's soon and they would not be able to pay much attention to it during this period of time. There would definitely be people thinking of ways to try and sneak in.
"Other than those advanced technologies, there are also paintings inside."
Every single one of those paintings could fetch an extremely high price. Therefore, there would be no lack of people wanting to steal those paintings to make a profit.
Zi Yi was not worried at all. "I've connected all the alarms in the art gallery on my end. As long as danger approaches, I will immediately receive a notification."
The moment Zi Yi said that, she hugged Lu Jingye's arm and leaned her head on his shoulders.
Lu Jingye caressed her face with his spare hand. "Are you tired?"
"A little." Zi Yi moved his hands to her tummy and said, "To think that being pregnant is so tiring."
Lu Jingye gently caressed her tummy. He tilted his head and kissed her forehead. "Baby, it's been hard on you."
In fact, Zi Yi only wanted to act coy with him. Hearing such words from him, she put her arms around his neck and sat on his legs. While giggling, she said, "Then give me a kiss."
Lu Jingye pressed his hand on the back of her head and his voice turned slightly hoarse. "Yunxiao will be coming soon."
"He will knock on the door when he arrives. Zi Yi planted her lips on his. "If you don't kiss me, I can only be the one kissing you then."
She then naughtily stuck out her tongue.
Ever since knowing Zi Yi was pregnant, Lu Jingye had never touched her again. Even if they were hugging, he would be careful, out of worry that he might accidentally press on her belly.
However, the young lady was not considerate of him at all and would often ask for kisses and hugs from time to time.
The moment her tongue touched his lips, he instantly gave up resisting.
The hand on the back of her head used some pressure and his other hand on her waist could not help but reach into her clothes.
The moment Lu Jingye touched her soft waist, Zi Yi could not help but moan.
In the next second, her moan was swallowed up.
The type of thrill coming from within their souls caused them to forget themselves for a moment.
The temperature in the whole office continuously rose
Lu Yunxiao who was standing outside the door raised his hand with the intention of knocking on the door. However, when his hand was around two centimeters away from the door, he stopped.
Secretary Shao, who was carrying the bag of food, looked at him in confusion.
Lu Yunxiao said, "My brother and sister-in-law aren't free right now."
Secretary Shao was stunned for a second before he immediately understood. He said to Lu Yunxiao, "Third Young Master, you can follow me to my office to have a seat."
Lu Yunxiao nodded with a straight expression. He turned around and was about to head to Secretary Shao's office.
However, the moment they walked to the office door, the door behind them was opened. Subsequently, Lu Jingye's voice sounded. "Come in."
Both of them turned around and followed Lu Jingye inside.
Zi Yi was holding onto a cup of water in her hands at that moment. However, the moment he saw the take-out in Secretary Shao's hand, her eyes turned bright. "What did you order?"
Lu Jingye took the bag from Secretary Shao and put it on the table before opening the packages one by one.
Looking at the table full of her favorite dishes, Zi Yi's eyes brightened even more.
The two brothers sat down and started to eat.
Zi Yi said to Lu Jingye, "Yunxiao wants me to give him a female robot. He doesn't want to go on blind dates anymore."
Lu Jingye turned to look at Lu Yunxiao.
Lu Yunxiao said expressionlessly, "I don't want to waste my time."
Lu Jingye was silent for some time as if he was thinking about it. Subsequently, he said, "Yiyi and I will not help you on this. If you really don't want to go on blind dates, you should frankly tell Mother.
Chapter 767: You Have To Come Home and Sleep, No Matter How Late It Is
Lu Yunxiao lowered his eyes and did not say anything else.
Zi Yi looked at his expression for a few seconds and realized that she could not make out his thoughts at all. She then quietly poked Lu Jingye's thigh with her fingers.
The next second, her finger was grabbed and Lu Jingye gave her a piece of food. "Eat first. After eating, you and Yunxiao can go home first."
"I want to wait for you." Zi Yi did not wish to go back so early.
Lu Jingye thought about it and nodded. He then looked at Lu Yunxiao.
Lu Yunxiao said, "I have something to attend to later."
Lu Jingye nodded again but did not ask what he had to attend to. He only said, "You have to come home and sleep no matter how late it ends."
Lu Yunxiao nodded his head.
The three of them started to eat.
After dinner, Lu Yunxiao left first.
Zi Yi looked at the door that was closed and asked out of worry, "Everyone's forcing him so much, will it backfire?"
"It won't." Lu Jingye called his bodyguard to buy some fruit for Zi Yi.
After ending the call, he said, "Yunxiao just doesn't like to talk, he's not a three-year-old child. He knows everyone has his best interest at heart, so he will come up with a solution."
Zi Yi was curious about what idea Lu Yunxiao would come up with, but she did not ask. She saw Lu Jingye sitting at his office desk and turned and took out her phone. She walked over and looked at the data across his shoulders.
Lu Jingye tilted his head and his lips just so happened to touch her tender cheeks. "If you have nothing to do, you can watch a movie."
You are reading on MYBO XN 0 V E L. COM
"It's boring to watch movies." Zi Yi suddenly thought of something and took out the name card she received earlier and showed it to him.
Lu Jingye took the name card and took a look. He was a little surprised. "This is?"
"Ellis. He has a Ph.D. in engineering mechanics of nuclear fusion in Country A. He's a researcher in the nuclear weapons research laboratory."
Lu Jingye furrowed his eyebrows and pondered for some time before he said, "Someone must have revealed some information the last time we went to the Southern Ocean to fight the pirates."
He then gave his father a call.
After the call was connected, he explained the situation to him.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Jingye held her hand and said, "Father will report this to the higher-ups. We should also pay some attention to this person."
Zi Yi nodded her head and continued looking at him working, standing over his shoulders.
When Secretary Shao sent the fruit in, Zi Yi took the washed fruit and sat on the sofa.
After the gloomy skies had lasted for nearly the whole day, the skies finally started releasing heavy snow.
While the snow danced around in the air, several cars drove in from the outer ring road towards Zi Yi's racing club.
The cars stopped somewhere near the racing club and someone in the car looked at the building before touching the communicator on his ear. "Throw the things out."
Subsequently, everyone in the cars alighted and carried out an unknown object placed in a sack and headed towards the racing club's entrance.
After they were about ten meters away from the entrance, they threw the sacks down on the floor.
Shortly after, the men returned to the cars and drove away quickly.
At the same time, Zi Yi received a report from the robots stationed in her club.
Zi Yi looked at the several sacks through the surveillance and said to her robots, "Throw these things further away and erase all the nearby evidence."
After the robots executed her orders, Zi Yi glanced at Lu Jingye who was working hard and had second thoughts about informing him. She only sent Lu Yunxiao a message.
[Yunxiao, someone threw a few sacks outside my racing club. Inside those sacks should be corpses. I got my robots to throw them in the suburbs at the outer ring.]
Lu Yunxiao's message came in very soon. [Ok. I will deal with them right away.]
Lu Yunxiao headed to Zi Yi's racing club. By the time he brought his men over, there were already several police cars parked outside.
When the officer saw Lu Yunxiao coming over, he hastily went over to meet him.
"Third Young Master Lu."
"What's going on?"
"We received a report that several bodies were found near this club."
"Where are the bodies?"
"We did not find any bodies."
The officer looked at the cold-faced Lu Yunxiao and recalled that this racing club belonged to his sister-in-law. He suddenly had a strange feeling welling up from within. He guessed that this might have been intentional.
Who was so bold to throw dirty water on the Second Young Madam's racing club?
Lu Yunxiao nodded expressionlessly and said, "There must be bodies around here."
Since the Third Young Master Lu had said so, then it proves that someone was thinking of framing the Second Young Madam.
He immediately nodded his head. "I understand. I will get in touch with the people in the nearby districts to cooperate with the search."
"No need. My men have already found them."
Who was Lu Yunxiao? He was the God's Eye of the country and there was no one he could not locate.
As soon as Lu Yunxiao said that, he headed back to the car.
The officer also quickly went to his car. After Lu Yunxiao's car drove out, the officer got the police cars to follow.
The cars drove for about 30 minutes on the outer ring road and arrived at a rather spacious piece of flat ground. The group of cars had all stopped there.
Everyone alighted from their cars and followed Lu Yunxiao.
After walking for some time, sure enough, they saw a few sacks thrown over there.
The officer hastily said to his subordinates, "Go and open the sacks."
The policemen quickly went over and opened the sacks. One of them shouted loudly, "It's a corpse."
The officer's expression froze and he subconsciously looked at Lu Yunxiao. "Third Young Master, this..."
"Call for the forensic doctors first."
The officer hastily nodded his head and took out his phone to get in touch with the higher-ups.
After waiting for around 40 minutes, a few cars quickly drove over.
Three forensic doctors arrived and one of which was Dou Yurui.
Dou Yurui was wearing a robe and carrying a silver box. Her short hair made her look dashing. She walked over to Lu Yunxiao and asked, "What's the situation?"
Lu Yunxiao said, "Check how they died."
He then added. "Someone is trying to frame sister-in-law."
Dou Yurui had a serious attitude at work and after she heard what Lu Yunxiao said, her expression turned extremely serious. "Ok, I understand."
She headed over to the sacks with the two other forensic doctors.
Sometime later, Dou Yurui said, "These people were electrocuted to death. We have to take them back for further examination to find out the details."
Lu Yunxiao said, "Ok."
Just then, a subordinate came over to Lu Yunxiao and whispered to him, "Leader, there are reporters on their way here."
The officer's expression stiffened. "I'll go stop the reporters."
Having said that, he led his men and left.
After the group of policemen left, Dou Yurui said to Lu Yunxiao, "Someone must be trying to frame Yiyi. Did you find out who the other party is?"
"I'm currently checking. There will be results in half an hour."
Dou Yurui nodded her head and said, "I'll bring these corpses back first. Do you want to come along?"
"Ok."
Lu Yunxiao motioned for his subordinates to carry away all the corpses.
The group of people arrived at the forensic department very soon.
Afterwards, Dou Yurui and her colleagues did an in-depth examination. She came out and said to Lu Yunxiao, "All the organs of these corpses have been electrocuted. One of the corpses has nutrient soil under his fingernails and this type of soil should belong to a flower field."
Chapter 768: Capture Him and Interrogate Him
Dou Yurui paused for a second before she continued speaking, "I feel that since they want to frame Yiyi, someone will soon come forward to claim that someone is missing."
As soon as Dou Yurui said that, Lu Yunxiao's phone rang.
After he answered the call, he said to the other party, "Capture him and interrogate him."
He hung up the phone after that.
Dou Yurui hastily asked, "Did you find out the identities of these people?"
"They are workers from the Xiangyang Flower Field in the southern suburbs."
Dou Yurui revealed a sneer. "I knew it."
Following that, she walked to a chair and sat down. She looked at Lu Yunxiao who was covered in a layer of snow and patted the chair next to her and said, "Lu Yunxiao, come sit here for a while."
Lu Yunxiao walked over and sat down.
Dou Yurui talked about the corpses with a calm expression. "...Some people really ignore the law and regard life as child's play. These people want to harm Yiyi and they are willing to do everything they can."
Lu Jingye responded with a nod and took out his phone to make a call.
Dou Yurui was sitting close to him and she could hear Zi Yi's crisp voice.
Lu Yunxiao gave her a brief explanation of what happened and said, "There's no need for you to come. I will take care of it."
He hung up the phone after that.
Dou Yurui tilted her head and looked at the expressionless Lu Yunxiao as he sat there with a straight posture. She then called out, "Hey, Lu Yunxiao."
You are reading on MYBO XN 0 V E L. COM
Lu Yunxiao turned and looked at her.
Dou Yurui asked, "Do you see dead bodies often?"
Lu Yunxiao pondered over it. He could be considered to be someone who sees dead bodies often and so, he nodded his head.
Dou Yurui was silent for a few moments and sighed. "Even though I don't know which department you belong to, what we do is similar in nature. I heard that you... are going on blind dates recently?"
Dou Yurui noticed that when she mentioned blind dates, Lu Yunxiao's eyebrows seemed to have flinched a little.
She thought that she had seen it wrongly and did not pay much attention to it. She then gave him her honest opinion and advice. "I'd advise you not to find a girlfriend in the same industry. Otherwise, both of you will always talk about corpses here and there and it's very boring."
Lu Yunxiao did not know how to answer her and decided to listen with his mouth closed.
Dou Yurui was usually a cold goddess but in fact, she was a little talkative in front of her family members. She felt that Lu Yunxiao was Yiyi's younger brother and can be considered to be her family and so she said, "But you're too cold and if you were to fall for someone in the future, you had better change. Otherwise, the other person will be frightened away by you."
Lu Yunxiao opened his mouth and ended up not uttering a single word.
The two of them sat for some time before Lu Yunxiao's phone rang again.
He answered the call and said to Dou Yurui. "The culprit has been found."
Dou Yurui breathed a sigh of relief. It just so happened that two of her colleagues walked out.
"Yurui, work has ended. Are you leaving?"
"Let's go." Dou Yurui stood up.
Lu Yunxiao had also followed her and stood up.
Dou Yurui said to him, "In that case, I'll go back first. Help me convey the findings to my cousin and ask her to pay attention to her surroundings these days."
"Ok."
Dou Yurui left with her colleagues.
Lu Yunxiao took out a communication device and put it in his ears. After giving a few simple commands, he also headed outside.
In a private room of a clubhouse in the capital. A bodyguard was currently whispering to a woman standing near the windows with a glass of red wine in her hand, "Eldest Young Miss, the plan failed."
Ouyang Qing gripped the glass in her hand and asked in a heavy voice, "What happened?"
"Those corpses were thrown to the southern suburbs far away from the racing club."
Hearing that, Ouyang Qing suddenly turned around. There were emotions of strong anger on her beautiful face. Even her expression was distorted.
The bodyguard lowered his head and dared not look at her.
Ouyang Qing drank the wine in one breath and headed outside.
When she walked to the door and opened it, her eyes suddenly shrank at the sight of the man standing outside her door.
Lu Yunxiao looked at her expressionlessly as he said coldly, "Follow me."
After a second of fluster, Ouyang Qing immediately readied herself and revealed a confused expression. "What is Third Young Master Lu trying to do? I am the Eldest Miss of the Ouyang Family. You dare to take me away?"
She purposely leaned towards him.
However, her arm was grabbed in the next second and subsequently pinned behind her back.
Ouyang Qing struggled. "Let me go."
The more she struggled, the tighter Lu Yunxiao's grip was. She was in so much pain that tears came out.
"Lu Yunxiao, you better not go too far. This is my turf and if you dare to take me away from here, the Ouyang Family will not let you off."
Lu Yunxiao simply ignored her and took her out as though she was a criminal.
Ouyang Qing started struggling even harder and screamed out loudly, "Lu Yunxiao, let me go!"
This was the Ouyang Family's territory and since Lu Yunxiao dared to come in openly, it meant that all the servants and bodyguards were under his control.
"Let me go! You, let me go!"
Lu Yunxiao disliked her loud voice and threw the task of bringing her out to his subordinate.
His subordinate immediately gagged her mouth with an item.
When Lu Yunxiao took her away, he said to the staff members inside, "Tell the Ouyang Family Head that Ouyang Qing instructed people to kill several employees from Xiangyang Flower Field. The evidence is conclusive."
The moment the staff members heard that, cold sweat started pouring down their faces.
After Lu Yunxiao and his men left, this information was immediately passed on to the Ouyang Family.
PA!
A teacup crashed onto the ground and following a clear and crisp sound, it instantly broke into pieces.
"What should we do? Qing'er was taken away by Lu Yunxiao and she must be suffering right now." The First Madam wiped her tears while feeling worried and anxious.
The Ouyang Family Head had a livid expression. He gnashed his teeth and questioned, "What did she do for Lu Yunxiao to find evidence and take her away so blatantly?"
Another young lady standing in the room was so anxious that her eyes were red. "Clearly it was Lu Jingye and Zi Yi who had killed someone. Big Sis only wanted to avenge Mingming."
Hearing those words, the expression of the Ouyang Family Head was even more furious. "Are your brains only for decoration? If you want to take revenge, it's obvious that Lu Yunxiao would catch your weaknesses if you are using such dirty tricks."
Having said that, he was so angry that he started pacing back and forth.
The First Madam wiped her tears and asked, "If Qing'er was taken away by the police, it would have been better. But now that Lu Yunxiao has taken her away, what can we do?"
"What to do? What can we possibly do right now?" The Ouyang Family Head was extremely vexed right now and he said, "All of you had better keep a low profile these days and don't provoke the Lu Family."
"Then are we going to forget how they caused Mingming's death just like that?"
"We can't do that!"
The Ouyang Family Head got even more irritable and he shouted at them, "I have my own plans!"
He then threatened them. "If you dare to mess around again, don't blame me for using the house rules."
The youngest, Ouyang Lu, wanted to say something but she was pulled back by Ouyang Fei.
The Ouyang Family Head had to find a way to get Ouyang Qing out and he went out to think of a method.
The moment the elders left, Ouyang Lihong said with reddened eyes, "Eldest Uncle won't let us do anything and so are we just going to look on helplessly and watch Lu Jingye and Zi Yi roaming freely after killing Brother Ming?"
Ouyang Ruan revealed a hint of malice. "How is that possible? They killed Mingming and they have to be buried together with him!"
Chapter 769: Ouyang Family Preparing for Marriage
When Zi Yi woke up and came down the stairs the next morning, she saw the two brothers standing outside the door and having a conversation.
By the time she walked to the door, she just so happened to hear Lu Jingye saying, "I'll take care of this. You can just keep an eye on the Ouyang Family."
Lu Jingye turned around and looked in the direction of the door.
Zi Yi came out from behind it and more or less guessed what had happened. "The corpses last night were the Ouyang Family's work?"
"Yes."
Lu Yunxiao greeted her and turned to head towards the backyard.
Lu Jingye came over and pulled the hoodie up on Zi Yi's clothes. "It's cold this morning. Why are you wearing so little?"
"It's not little."
They walked inside together and on the way, Zi Yi asked, "Why did the Ouyang Family do that?"
No matter what conflicts the eight great aristocratic families had with each other, they would not do such things for no reason unless there was some hidden grievance.
"Yunxiao took away the Eldest Young Miss of the Ouyang Family, Ouyang Qing. She claimed that we killed Ouyang Ming."
Zi Yi sneered. "Did these people hear something through hearsay? Even if we really did kill Ouyang Ming, he deserved it."
"Yes."
Just then, Mrs. Lu came out of the kitchen. When she saw both of them standing at the door, she asked Zi Yi, "Yiyi, are you hungry?"
Zi Yi nodded her head. Her appetite was growing day by day and right now, she would be hungry after getting a good night's sleep.

Mrs. Lu said to Lu Jingye, "Jingye, go call for your Father and younger brother. We'll start eating right away."
"Okay." Lu Jingye turned around and wanted to head out. Zi Yi followed behind him.
Mrs. Lu said, "Yiyi, it's cold outside, don't go out."
"Mom, I'm not afraid of the cold." Zi Yi said that and followed Lu Jingye outside.
When they were walking towards the backyard, Zi Yi asked, "Yunxiao arrested Ouyang Qing. What was the reaction from the Ouyang Family?"
"The Ouyang Family Head came to look for Yunxiao but to no avail. He called me in the middle of the night. I didn't answer it and he called me again this morning."
Zi Yi was currently pregnant and Lu Jingye's phone was placed somewhere further away and it was also on silent mode. Unless it was a special phone call, he would not hear nor answer any other calls.
"What did the Ouyang Family Head say?"
"He said this is a misunderstanding."
"Ha... misunderstanding? I think he's lying with his eyes open."
They did not hesitate to kill several people in order to frame her by throwing the corpses outside her racing club. If her club wasn't as high-tech and the robots did not notice the commotion, she would be the unlucky one.
"How do you plan to take care of Ouyang Qing?"
"The crime of planning and committing murder is death by firing line."
"In that case, if that happens we would completely have a falling out with the Ouyang Family, right?"
"It doesn't matter. In any case, some families no longer have the right to remain as one of the eight great aristocratic families."
Zi Yi was a little surprised to hear that coming from him, but she somehow felt that it was within expectations.
Lu Jingye had done so many preparations previously and to think that it's because he already had such plans for a long time.
While talking, they arrived at the backyard. Second Master Lu and Lu Yunxiao were both training. Zi Yi called out to them and said, "Father, Yunxiao. Mom is asking us to come over to have breakfast."
The both of them stopped fighting.
Second Master Lu clearly knew what happened last night and said to the two brothers, "Deal with his matter properly. Even though the Ouyang Family is not as powerful as before, they are still one of the eight great aristocratic families."
"I understand. I have already made arrangements," Lu Jingye said.
Today was destined to be an extraordinary day.
When the news that Ouyang Qing and the boss of Xiangyan Flower Field conspired together to kill several men was released on the internet without any control, the whole internet exploded.
There was a wave of curses and calls for the culprits to be shot to death.
The release of the news came too suddenly and they could not suppress it at all. The Ouyang Family instantly fell into panic.
The younger generation of the Ouyang Family's females gathered together and discussed a countermeasure.
"What should we do? Lu Jingye must be working behind the scenes. Now that this incident has been brought into the spotlight, Eldest Sister is definitely a goner." Ouyang Li was the youngest and ranked sixth among the sisters. Speaking of this, she suddenly started to cry.
Ouyang Ruan, ranked third among them, clenched her fists and said with a heavy voice. "We cannot sit still and wait for death. Lu Jingye harmed our Eldest Sister and he will definitely be aiming for our Ouyang Family next."
Ouyang Xue, the fifth among them, had a furious expression. "They killed my younger brother and are now aiming for our eldest sister. I will not let them go just like that."
She headed outside having said that.
"Fifth Sister, stop right there." The fourth among them, Ouyang Hui furrowed her eyebrows and stopped her from leaving. "Now's not the time for us to be impulsive. We have to find a way to suppress the comments on the internet first."
Speaking of this, traces of sadness flashed past her eyes. "We can't save her, but father and the rest of our family have a way."
Ouyang Xue furrowed her eyebrows. "If they really had a way, Eldest Sister would have been rescued last night."
Ouyang Hui looked at her. "Then what can you do? You'll just be sending yourself to your death even if you went."
Ouyang Ruan said, "Right now, there's only one method left."
"What is it?" The few of them looked at her.
"Marriage," Ouyang Ruan said, "We aren't the only families who want to deal with Lu Jingye. There's still the Dongfang Family, He Family, and Qin Family. As long as we unite, would we still have to be afraid of Lu Jingye?"
A few of them thought about it and felt that this method was feasible.
"In that case, let's go and talk to Uncle. As long as the four families unite, I don't believe we can't deal with Lu Jingye."
The best way of working together among the wealthy and influential families was through marriage. The other three families hated Lu Jingye to their guts and after hearing the Ouyang Family's proposal, they all agreed.
Second Madam He heard of this news and immediately went looking for He Fei, who was working hard to check the accounts. "The Ouyang Family released news of wanting to connect with our family through marriage. Don't stay in the room all day, this is a good opportunity."
At the mention of marriage, He Fei subconsciously rejected her idea. "Mother, this is not a good time for marriage."
"How is it not a good time? Our second house needs a marriage right now so that we don't get bullied by the first house. Otherwise..."
At the mention of this, Second Madam He could not continue speaking and started wiping her tears.
He Fei knew that his Mother had been worried that the first house would secretly deal with them. He stood up and came over to her, "Mother, the most important thing now is for me to take over Father's company as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be snatched away by Uncle and the rest."
"Marriage and taking over the company don't clash." Second Madam He was adamant about him marrying into the Ouyang Family. "What's more, you had a good relationship with Ouyang Ming and it'll only benefit our family if you do get married to one of them."
He Fei furrowed his eyebrows. He did not wish to marry anyone from the Ouyang Family.
Second Madam He saw through his thoughts and continued wiping her tears. "Are you still going to remain stubborn at this point in time? Do you know that because of your stubbornness, your father got killed and in the end, he didn't even have anyone to send him off."
He Fei felt his heart tremble. This incident would forever be a sore spot for him. He clenched his fists and said with great difficulty, "Mother, I will think about it."
Chapter 770: Some Suspicious People Came to the Bar In Recent Days
Ouyang Qing's incident was soon settled. When everyone was keeping watch on the Ouyang Family's next move, among the high-society circle, there was news that they were planning to connect with a few other families through marriage.
When Zi Yi learned about it, she was a little surprised.
"The Ouyang Family really can't wait to unite with these families and deal with us?"
"It doesn't matter." Lu Jingye was not worried about this at all. "Since they want to get married, they can go ahead and do so."
Even if the families were connected by marriage, it would not have had an impact on Lu Jingye's plans.
It was already the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month and there were still two days before the New Year's
Second Master Lu also took leave and stayed at home.
Mrs. Lu started to instruct the helpers at home to clean up the house and prepare fresh New Year's goods that had not yet been prepared.
During this period of time, many people began to send out gifts.
In less than half a day, the Lu Family's villa received countless fruits and local products.
Looking at the mountain of gifts, Mrs. Lu smiled helplessly. "There are many people sending gifts during this period of time. The country stipulates that government officials are not allowed to accept gifts and all these people are sending gifts under the guise of Jingye being the recipient.
Lu Jingye had managed the distribution of private materials in the majority of the military camps in the country. The ones sending the gifts were basically those local governors and what they sent were all sorts of local products.
Zi Yi looked at the pile that was increasing in height and asked Mrs. Lu, "Mom, what are we going to do with so many gifts?"
Mrs. Lu had past experience with this. "There are plenty of dry goods and we can keep them to slowly eat. Also, we can give them away."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Lu smiled. "But I feel that there's no need to worry this year. You have many relatives and friends. We'll share it with everyone then. You can make a list and we'll send them all out."

Zi Yi smiled and said, "This is a good idea."
The two of them started discussing how to send these gifts out, while Second Master Lu leisurely sat on the sofa and watched the news as he drank tea.
Mrs. Lu did not order him around to do anything either and she said, "Your Father only has these few days of rest every year. Let him enjoy himself, otherwise he would start feeling upset later on."
Second Master Lu vaguely heard Mrs. Lu talking about him and he looked over.
"Lingluo, do you need me to do anything?"
"Nothing. You can continue doing your own thing."
Mrs. Lu and Zi Yi made eye contact and smiled.
After lunch, Zi Yi received Ian's call.
Ian asked her over the phone, "Zi, are you available tonight? Xiangling and I have invited a few other of her family members and we will be hanging out in your bar."
Even if Zi Yi was free, she would not go either. "I'm not free."
Ian laughed over the phone. "I knew you'd be busy. Therefore, the reason I'm calling you is to ask for your help. Even with my VIP card, I can't even buy any tickets for your bar these past few days."
The [Futuristic] Bar had also introduced a membership system recently and half of the tickets were sold on the official website, while the other half were meant for VIP customers. They would be able to purchase them on the day itself.
Speaking of which, there weren't many VIP customers and the tickets were supposedly easy to buy.
Zi Yi asked, "Why weren't you able to buy a ticket?"
Ian was a little surprised. "I can't believe you don't know? Recently a few of the large bars along the street, all closed for renovations at the same time. As a result, there's a huge number of people gathered at your bar."
To get the [Futuristic] Bar VIP card, all one needed was to have money and make sure that the amount in it was one million dollars every single time. For many rich second-generation kids, this was simply a trivial matter.
Zi Yi really didn't care about her bar in recent days. She said, "Alright, you can head over directly."
After hanging up the phone, Zi Yi contacted Little Loli.
They communicated by virtual projection and the moment Little Loli's image appeared, she greeted Mrs. Lu sweetly. "Auntie Lu, good afternoon. Long time no see~ I discovered that Auntie Lu is getting younger and more beautiful as the days go by."
Mrs. Lu was elated. "Your little robot sure has a sweet mouth."
"Hehehe... I'm telling the truth."
Mrs. Lu was happy and so, she said, "When you're free, you're welcome to come over and play."
Little Loli hastily nodded her head. "Okay, okay! I'll come and pay you a visit during the New Year."
"Oh my, aren't you so adorable?"
Mrs. Lu was overjoyed and they chatted for a short while before Mrs. Lu continued to write down who the gifts should be distributed to.
Only then did Little Loli ask Zi Yi, "Sister, were you looking for me?"
Zi Yi told her about Ian and her family members heading to the bar and asked her to open up special permission for them. Following that, she asked, "Which bars along the street are currently being renovated?"
Little Loli told her about it and one of them was the bar next to theirs.
Zi Yi thought about it and asked, "Before these bars started their renovations were there any strange things happening?"
"Yes." Little Loli nodded her head and said, "Before they started renovations, there were several people coming into our bar and taking a look around. I checked their identities at that time and some of them were mechanical engineers and there were also several network engineers."
Zi Yi said with certainty, "They are trying to imitate our bar."
Little Loli exploded. "What? The audacity! I'll sue them for infringement!"
Zi Yi's lips curved up and she did not take it to heart. "It doesn't matter. If they can renovate their bars to be 100% the same as mine, I'll treat it as them winning."
However, even if Zi Yi allowed them to research her bar in whatever they wanted, the advanced technology in the [Futuristic] bar was not something that they could replicate. Not to mention that they had sneaked in and only taken a casual look.
She could not even be bothered to take care of such things and said, "Let them renovate all they like. If there are too many people in the bar, control the intake. Reserve ten places for me every day."
It would be convenient for her this way if there were acquaintances who wanted to go to the bar.
"Okay~" Little Loli then said, "Sister, other than them, there are also a few foreigners who have been coming to our bar these past few days. They would come every single day and call for the robots in the VIP room."
"Did they do anything?"
Little Loli thought about it and said, "They got the robots to perform various skills and nothing else."
Zi Yi nodded and said, "If they come again tonight, check their identities and pay attention to them."
"Okay~"
After ending the call, Zi Yi continued sorting the gifts together with Mrs. Lu.
By the time they finished with the list of gifts, the day passed by quickly.
The three of them had dinner together at home.
After dinner, Zi Yi checked up on the situation of her energy companies in Country X in Lu Jingye's study room. At the same time, she listened to Zhou Shiyu's report.
A few of the new sources of energy the [Future] Energy Company developed this year were all selling like hotcakes in the market and they could be considered a dark horse of the market.
There were many people trying to dig up information about the boss behind the company, but none of them managed to find anything.
Zi Yi said, "I'll give you a few new energy sources, and strive for them to be developed this month. The rest can be postponed."
Zhou Shiyu agreed. "Okay."
After they finished the report, Zi Yi thought of Zhou Shijin and asked, "Has Zhou Shijin managed to find anyone yet?"
