"Lele, it's been two years, you've really grown up! You dare to come and trespass into my Third District with just a toy gun!" Yang Yue saw that Lin Lele's gun was still pointed at her head, and immediately tried to snatch it away.
"Pfft~" Lin Lele was startled by Yang Yue's sudden action and instinctively pulled the trigger.
The silenced pistol emitted a muffled thud, and a bullet shot out, striking a glass container behind Yang Yue. Instantly, the glass shattered, shards flying everywhere.
Fortunately, Yang Yue's actions just now caused the gun barrel to deviate from its position; otherwise, it wouldn't have been the glassware that shattered, but Yang Yue's head.
This scene left both of them stunned, as if the air had frozen.
"Do you want to die? How dare you disarm me with your bare hands!" Lin Lele shouted angrily.
"I...I...I don't know..." Yang Yue was also in shock, but then seemed to realize what was happening and said angrily, "So, Lele, after all these years of friendship, you actually put a gun to my head?"
“Let’s keep things separate. It’s true we have a personal relationship, but I’m on a mission right now!” Lin Lele said matter-of-factly. “I only listen to my superior!”
As she spoke, she looked at Chen Yu.
Chen Yu was speechless. He had also been startled just now. Yang Yue was a key figure in his understanding of the current situation in Nandu. If she was really killed by Lin Lele, wouldn't all of this have been for nothing?
Fortunately, Yang Yue was lucky and was not injured.
This relieved Chen Yu.
Seeing Lin Lele and the others looking at him, Chen Yu immediately put away his gun and then scolded Lin Lele, "Foolish! Since Miss Yang Yue is your friend, she's one of us. How can you point your gun at your own people? You almost made a big mistake just now. When we get back, see how I deal with you!"
"I..." Lin Lele was about to retort when Chen Yu interrupted her again.
He smiled and said to Yang Yue, "Miss Yang Yue, I've often heard Lele mention you. Meeting you today, I can say that seeing you in person is truly better than hearing about you!"
Then he looked at the old woman next to Yang Yue, whose brows were furrowed, and asked, "And this is...?"
Just as Yang Yue was about to speak, the old woman stopped her and said to Chen Yu politely, "I am Li Qing from Nandu University."
“Professor Li was my master’s supervisor,” Yang Yue added.
"So it's Professor Li, nice to meet you!" Chen Yu quickly extended his hand with a smile.
"You're all smiles and grinning; you don't seem like a good person!" Yang Yue said coldly. "Lele has always been naive; I hope she's not being used by you without even realizing it!"
"Yueyue, don't talk nonsense, this is my superior!" Lin Lele quickly explained, her tone tinged with anger.
"Commander?" Yang Yue was both amused and exasperated. "Lele, are you crazy? I could understand it a little if you said he was your boyfriend, but commander? Do you think I don't know your own limitations? What kind of commander would take you on a mission?"
"You look down on me?" Lin Lele frowned. "I knew it. You've always looked down on me, thinking I'm stupid and almost didn't graduate from undergraduate school, unlike you, who was directly recommended for graduate school in your junior year!"
“Lele, that’s not what I meant. I’m just worried about you. This world is too chaotic, and someone with your personality is easily deceived,” Yang Yue explained.
"So you're still saying I'm stupid?" Lin Lele's lips curled into a self-deprecating smile. "I admit, I'm not as smart as you guys, but I'm definitely not stupid!"
Chen Yu smiled wryly. He hadn't come here to watch two women argue, so he chuckled and said, "Hehe, Lele is very smart, otherwise I wouldn't have hired her as my secretary."
Upon hearing this, Lin Lele suddenly turned her head, her eyes sharp as she looked at Chen Yu, her eyes slightly red: "Chen Yu, stop pretending to be a nice guy. You've always treated me like a fool, fooling me to my face. I know all your secrets, you..."
"Cough cough cough~" Chen Yu coughed a few times, interrupting Lin Lele, and then shouted sternly, "Lin Lele, do you know what you're doing? Calm down!"
Lin Lele was slightly startled by Chen Yu's shout, but she immediately came to her senses and realized that she had almost made a big mistake due to her impulsiveness. She quickly lowered her head and remained silent.
At this moment, Chen Yu's heart was still unsettled. This Lin Lele had actually been pretending to be weak all along? Could it be that she had really discovered the extradimensional space within him?
No, I need to find some time to get to the bottom of this with Lin Lele.
Chen Yu and Lin Lele's actions made the atmosphere at the scene somewhat awkward.
Yang Yue broke the silence first, tentatively asking Chen Yu, "Are you Chen Yu? Chen Yu from Tianyu Group?"
Yang Yue's words pulled Chen Yu back to reality. He took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and temporarily put Lin Lele's matter aside. He smiled at Yang Yue and Li Qing and said, "Yes, I am the president of Tianyu Group. Now, Miss Yang and Professor Li, you can believe that I did not lie to Lele, right?"
As he spoke, he removed his mask, revealing his handsome face.
Although Yang Yue and Li Qing had already guessed beforehand, they still showed surprise when they saw Chen Yu's appearance.
Yang Yue already knew that Lin Lele was working as the president's secretary at Tianyu Group before the natural disaster. Now that the natural disaster is raging, it is not surprising that Lin Lele and Chen Yu are together.
Furthermore, given Chen Yu's various dazzling titles, Yang Yue and Li Qing's suspicions about him dissipated considerably.
"Chen Yu, you're a billionaire with hundreds of billions. It's freezing outside, why aren't you staying in your luxurious villa? What are you doing here in our Nandu?" Yang Yue asked calmly.
“Alas! In the face of natural disaster, how can I, as a responsible entrepreneur, remain unaffected? Seeing the people of the world suffering from calamity, how can I live up to the title of ‘Outstanding Youth of Great Xia’ awarded to me by the country if I do nothing?” Chen Yu said in a deep voice, his tone full of responsibility and mission.
"The reason I came out here today is to find a solution to our current predicament." Chen Yu paused, then said with a look of satisfaction, "Seeing your efforts for the survival of humanity today, I am truly gratified. We are not alone!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Yue and Li Qing exchanged a glance and both frowned.
Yang Yue then said coldly to Chen Yu, "Speak like a human being!"
Clearly, these two were not so easily fooled. Chen Yu's impassioned speech not only failed to dispel their doubts, but seemed to have the opposite effect.
Chen Yu was slightly taken aback. He had forgotten the identities of the two people, especially Li Qing, who was a professor at Nandu University. Naturally, they would not care about such empty and pretentious words.
