Chapter 229 There is a tomb on the mountain

“Bullying a newcomer?” Wen Ni didn’t care. After all, anyone who dared to bully her must have been reincarnated a hundred times over.

"Liangxing Village is located in a remote area deep in the mountains. The villagers are self-sufficient and have little contact with the outside world, so they have formed an independent community. As a newcomer, it is natural that you will arouse their wariness and curiosity!"

The old lady explained in a soft, gentle voice.

"The young man was worried about you being alone here, so he went so far as to lie and insist on staying, all because of this..."

“Grandma, you don’t need to talk to her so much.” Lu Jinye’s expression was somewhat awkward. He straightened his shirt collar, picked up his coat, and bowed slightly to the old lady. “Well then, Grandma, I’ll head back now.”

"Is this child embarrassed?" The old lady smiled and waved her hand.

"Grandma, I'll go see him off!" Wen Ni also got up, covered her grandmother with the blanket, and turned to chase after her.

Although the section of the road affected by the mudslide has been repaired, there is still a section of road in the village that vehicles cannot access, and people have to walk around to get there.

Wen Ni and Lu Jinye walked side by side, strolling slowly in the bright sunlight!

"After I get back, I'll be busy with work for a while. If you can't reach me for a while, ask Qin Yuan to contact Baron," Lu Jinye said casually.

"Qin Yuan?" Wen Ni raised an eyebrow slightly. "You're not planning to take Qin Yuan back to Gotham City with you?"

“I’ll leave him here and have him drive you back before Grandpa’s birthday banquet.”

"I don't need bodyguards." Wen Ni crossed her arms, always confident, "I can take on a hundred men by myself!"

“I know you’re capable, but some physical work should still be left to men. Qin Yuan is here, he can be considered a helper.”

He is always so thoughtful and meticulous!

Wen Ni nodded and no longer resisted his kindness.

The path ahead gradually widens, and after taking two more steps, you can see a straight highway and two black cars that have been waiting for a long time!

One of the car doors opened, and Qin Yuan stepped out.

He was carrying a black bag and wearing dark casual clothes. Compared to his previous always-dressed and old-fashioned appearance, this outfit made him look much younger!

"Mr. Lu, I've brought everything you asked me to buy!" Qin Yuan opened the trunk.

They brought out two large boxes full of food, clothing, and other necessities!

Before Wen Ni could ask a question

Then we saw several more cars driving up the mountain road from the left side of the road!

"Such a remote place, yet there are quite a few cars coming and going?"

“There’s a cemetery on this mountain, and people come to pay their respects every year around this time!” Qin Yuan replied casually.

"oh……"

Wen Ni nodded slowly, then suddenly blurted out, "You seem quite familiar with this place. You even know there's a cemetery up here?"

"Of course, I..." Qin Yuan was startled by Lu Jinye's gaze halfway through her sentence and quickly finished speaking, "When our Master Lu goes out, of course I have to understand the surrounding environment in order to deal with any emergencies!"

"Yeah."

Wen Ni had no intention of exposing them. She turned around with her hands behind her back and said, "Put your two boxes of stuff on and come back to the village with me!"

"I... Miss Wen Ni, won't you help me carry some?" Qin Yuan looked at the things on the ground, a little troubled!

Wen Ni slowly raised her hand and shook it. "Master Lu said that some things should be left to men! Now is the time for you to show your manliness, it's not appropriate for me to interfere!"

"..." Sometimes, Master Lu really does some inhuman things!

Qin Yuan muttered to himself, gritted his teeth, picked up the two large boxes, and chased after Wen Ni's dashing figure.

Lu Jinye watched them leave, suppressed his smile, and got into the car.

As he leaned back in his seat, just about to close his eyes for a short rest, his gaze was drawn to a car coming from the other side!

The car gradually slowed down and came to a stop.

The car window rolled down, revealing a young and handsome face. "Young Master Lu from the Lu family in the capital? What a coincidence, you've come to Andu as well?"

"So it's Young Master Zhuo." Lu Jinye's expression was aloof. "Nice to meet you."

"It's a pleasure to meet you!" Young Master Zhuo narrowed his eyes, his gaze sweeping over the figure that had just disappeared around the corner of the country road, before he tugged at the corner of his lips. "When we get back to the city, I'll definitely find time to have a meal with you! Today we're pressed for time, as we still have to visit an old friend, so I won't keep you company any longer!"

Okay. Take care.

Lu Jinye was taciturn and nodded indifferently.

As soon as the car window rolled up, Zhuo Shao's car sped past!

"Master Lu, what are they doing here?"

"If I remember correctly, his grandfather is buried on this mountain." Lu Jinye slowly closed his eyes, his slender fingers tapping lightly on his knee. "Tell Qin Yuan to protect Wen Ni, and to inform me immediately of any disturbance!"

"Yes, Master Lu!"

The car restarted and drove off downhill in the opposite direction!

Two surnames village

Wen Ni returned to the old lady's house, with Qin Yuan following behind her. However, the old lady wasn't surprised; in fact, she seemed quite interested in the two boxes of things!

"Oh my, young lady, that young man really cares about you. He's worried you won't eat or dress well here, so he specially bought you all this stuff! These days, it's hard to find a young man like him!"

"He prepared this for you, Grandma, it has nothing to do with me!" Wen Ni turned her face away and cleared her throat.

The old lady gave a meaningful smile. She didn't say anything more, but with her back hunched, she called out to Qin Yuan, "Come, come, young man, help Grandma tidy up the storage room. You can stay here tonight!"

"You don't need to prepare a special place for me to stay!" Qin Yuan said casually, sitting down by the stove. "I'll just stay wherever my husband used to live!"

"That won't do!"

Wen Ni and the old lady spoke in unison!

Qin Yuan blinked, looking puzzled.

"Hey kid, come with me!" The old lady's smile deepened, and she patted Qin Yuan on the back. "Move your butt!"

"Ah...oh."

Qin Yuan scratched his head and followed the old lady to tidy up the storage room!

Seeing that they had left, Wen Ni immediately turned around and went back into the inner room, quickly putting the extra bedding and pillows on the bed into the closet.

My phone, which was in my inner pocket, suddenly started vibrating wildly!

Wen Ni was so startled that she almost tore the cabinet door apart!

I have to say, they really have a guilty conscience...

"Hello?" He lowered his voice, trying to appear calm.

"Boss!!"

"The beacon tower? What happened? What's wrong?"

"That damn Leng Feng is really tight-lipped! He only told me today that Lu Jinye, that bastard, is actually Captain Lu's son!"

Song Yanfeng's emotions exploded on the other end of the phone!

"So, from the very beginning, assigning you to be Lu Jinye's bodyguard was all part of Captain Lu's premeditated plan?! He's gone too far! He's utterly depraved! He's abusing his power for personal gain! He... he took advantage of his proximity! He has no shame..."

Enraged by the beacon fire, he spoke without thinking and didn't know what to say next.

Wen Ni held the phone far away from her ear so that her head wouldn't hurt from his loud voice!

"Calm down, Fengsui. Are you trying to get sent abroad on a mission or called back for grueling training by insulting our superior like this?"

"He can't hear me anyway!"

"...I said, the call you made to me was using an internal communication machine," Wen Ni quietly reminded me. "It has a built-in system for listening in, and the data is transmitted directly to Captain Lu's computer..."
