The bald guy, who had been in society for so long, surely understood the meaning of "chatting." He shuddered on the spot and almost wet his pants.

This guy's coming over isn't just for a casual chat; it could easily lead to someone's death.

The bald man acted swiftly, calling several of his leaders and issuing a firm order to find the two men before nightfall.

Whoever finds it gets a million-dollar reward; if they don't, they'll all become gatekeepers, no mercy whatsoever.

If I get beaten up, who will take the hit for me?

The bald man's side is making great strides, with a large number of people mobilized.

At the villa, Ye Zihan took a hot shower, drank a bowl of ginger soup, and her forehead was covered in fragrant sweat.

Perhaps because she had just taken a shower, Ye Zihan exuded a wild beauty. Her long, wet, and tangled hair was slightly disheveled, her small mouth was slightly open, her skin was as white as snow, and her features were three-dimensional. She wore a nightgown that was barely visible, and her long legs were crossed tightly on the sofa, so that no one could see a single bit of her private parts.

The more it's like this, the more it tickles, making people want to find out more.

"My good mood has been completely ruined. I'm speechless." Ye Zihan lay half-reclined on the sofa, looking languid and intellectual, muttering her displeasure.

"Zihan, let me ask something I shouldn't have asked," Li Changfeng said slowly, blowing on the tea leaves in his cup.

"Knowing full well that you shouldn't ask, why did you still ask?" Ye Zihan frowned, her words cutting off any way out.

Li Changfeng: "..."

"Pfft, giggle." Ye Zihan laughed out loud. "Alright, ask away. I'll answer what I can, and please forgive me for what I can't."

"It's best not to ask random, adult-related questions."

Let's give each other a heads-up.

"Tch, stop pretending to be so serious, okay? We're all human, and humans have desires." Li Changfeng scoffed.

"But I really don't ask random questions."

"Then tell me."

"Do you know who attacked us today?"

Ye Zihan shook her head, looking blank. "I don't know."

"The Temple of Gods is the world's top and largest dark organization, bar none," Li Changfeng explained.

“Since I came to be your bodyguard, I have encountered several clashes with powerful forces.”

"I want to know who's targeting you? What about you is worth such a high reward?"

"I bet it's not for your body."

"What kind of woman is worth billions? With that kind of money, you can find any kind of woman."

The following paragraph is a bit redundant; it's true, but it can't be said outright.

It's as if everyone has a price.

Ye Zihan was speechless, then gave a wry smile, "I really don't know who's targeting me, I can swear that."

"As for what the person behind this is planning, I..."

"Should I trust you?" Ye Zihan stared intently at Li Changfeng.

"It's up to you. I'm just curious. It doesn't matter whether you tell me or not," Li Changfeng said, shrugging.

Ye Zihan parted her red lips slightly, "I'm just guessing, I'm not sure if the person behind this is after that thing."

"What is that?" Li Changfeng frowned.

"One picture."

"A painting?" Li Changfeng was puzzled. "Even the 'Along the River During the Qingming Festival' painting isn't worth that much money."

"What if I said it was a treasure map?"

"What? A treasure map?"

Ye Zihan pursed her red lips and slowly said, "Yes! This picture was left to me by my father. It was both a blessing and a curse. My father died because of this picture."

"I was only eight years old that year. Before my father died, he told me to keep it safe and not to give it to anyone."

“I will never forget what happened. My father was dressed in black, took off his black veil and lay on the ground, spitting out mouthfuls of blood. Even so, he still gave me instructions.”

"He grabbed my arm with both hands and spoke very seriously, even though his eyes were unfocused and he had already left, he still held on tightly and wouldn't let go."

"I was young then, and I was so scared that I cried."

"The reason why someone is offering such a large reward now is probably because of the treasure map that my father brought."

“That’s not right.” Li Changfeng noticed the flaw. “You said you were only eight years old that year, which is almost twenty years ago. Why are you only taking action now?”

"Perhaps they only recently discovered that the treasure map was on me," Ye Zihan said, unsure. "My father was wearing night clothes before he died, which means his identity was hidden at the time."

Li Changfeng nodded; this explanation made sense.

Li Changfeng had asked Ye Zihan a similar question before, but she didn't answer and didn't even bother to reply. Today, however, she asked her in great detail. Does this mean that their relationship is no longer what it used to be and has undergone a qualitative leap?

This also shows that Ye Zihan trusts Li Changfeng enough.

You should know that it's a treasure map. Whoever gets it will have more money than they could ever spend in a lifetime, and their wealth will be unimaginable, making them richer than a country.

"Zihan, why do I feel like this is a bit of a dream? The words 'treasure map' just seem so unrealistic."

What era are we living in? Treasure maps are so out of touch with modern times.

"I don't know if it's real or not. I've kept that picture safe, and no one can find it."

“Besides me, even my grandfather doesn’t know. He’s never asked.” Ye Zihan said confidently.

"Didn't you search according to the map?" Li Changfeng asked again.

"No, my Ye Group is never short of money. We can always provide tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan in liquid funds."

"What use would I have if I had more money?" Ye Zihan said with a clear and open mind.

"Can any amount of money buy my dad's life back? Can it bring him back to life? Can it give my dad back to me?"

"Striving for fame and fortune, and having endless desires, will only harm people."

"Having enough to eat and spend, and not lacking money, is enough. A simple life is true happiness, and being peaceful and happy is true bliss." Ye Zihan uttered a profound saying.

"It's not easy to have such awareness at such a young age; your expertise is quite profound," Li Changfeng said with a smile.

Am I wrong?

"Yes, but everyone's desires and pursuits are different. Just because you can be open-minded doesn't mean others can be open-minded too."

"Throughout history, countless people have lost their lives, families, and homes for the sake of profit," Li Changfeng said calmly, lighting a cigarette.

Ye Zihan looked disgusted; the smell of cigarettes was unbearable.

"And you? How great are your desires?"

"Simple! I hope one day I can seduce you, hook up with a rich woman, and never have to struggle again, avoiding decades of detours, and achieving a life of effortless youth."

“In the future, my son and my grandson will all benefit from my wise and brilliant decision,” Li Changfeng joked.

"You're so careless, believe me or not I'll tear your mouth apart," Ye Zihan said angrily.

"Hurry up, I want to hear the truth."

"My view is similar to yours. I don't crave great wealth and status; a simple and peaceful life suits me best. Living comfortably is the most important thing," Li Changfeng stated, expressing his most genuine thoughts.

"real?"

What good would it do me to lie to you?

"Li Changfeng, how long have you been a bodyguard?"

"You're the first one."

Ye Zihan: "..."
