Chapter 77 Savage Boss
The air in Myanmar was filled with scorching heat that made people dizzy. The locals applied a layer of sunscreen on their bodies, but Du Ruo didn't understand what it was.
From the moment she entered northern Myanmar, Du Ruo felt like she had entered a barbaric world. The man next to her adapted very quickly and his temperament changed drastically, leaving Du Ruo quite dumbfounded.
When she first met Yuan Tingchuan, she felt that he was a sharp-eyed boss. Although he was a bit domineering and arrogant, his clothing taste and aura were all gentlemanly.
Du Ruo's gaze couldn't help but fall on Yuan Tingchuan in front of him again.
He was wearing an Army field combat overalls with a gun pocket on the back and an army green vest on his upper body. The muscles on his exposed shoulders and arms were as undulating and powerful as mountains.
In just a few days, his skin became tanned and his angular facial features looked even more resolute.
Du Ruo was wearing jeans, with the hem of her shirt tucked around her waist and her hair tied into a neat ponytail. She looked around.
Ahead is a winding, bumpy dirt road, with mountains on both sides rising and falling as far as the eye can see.
Didn't we just come here to participate in the Burmese jade auction? Du Ruo'e glared at the big man in front of her fiercely. Since entering Myanmar, Yuan Tingchuan has shown abnormal strength. He brought her here rudely, with an attitude that would not tolerate rejection or resistance.
Du Ruo snorted softly in his heart and lowered his eyes.
Yuan Tingchuan and his men were communicating with the locals. Due to the heavy rains for several days, a landslide occurred ahead and the road was severely blocked. It would not be possible to clear it with only the twenty or so people he brought. He planned to find some local people to help with the cleanup and was negotiating the price.
After some bargaining, the locals agreed to take them to a nearby village for temporary accommodation until the road was cleared, but of course they had to pay a fee.
Yuan Tingchuan walked over to Du Ruo and told her about staying in the village temporarily: "It will take at least a day and a night to clean up. It's not a good idea for us to wait here. It's the rainy season here. There's no telling when a heavy rain will come. It's better to stay in the village temporarily."
Du Ruo frowned and glanced at him: "I heard that there are private armed forces everywhere here, is it safe?"
Yuan Tingchuan soothed him, "It's safer to see them. I have a good relationship with them. Someone should be here to pick us up tomorrow at the latest.
The problem now is that we have to reunite with them as soon as possible so that we can be safer."
The bodyguard ran up and said, "Mr. Yuan, we have checked. There is no problem in the village. There are not many people, only about 20 to 30 people, including the elderly, the weak, women and children. We have searched the place, so it should be safe."
Yuan Tingchuan gestured backwards, signaling everyone to get in the car, and the car drove along the bumpy dirt road towards the other side of the mountain road.
After walking for about ten minutes, we saw a dozen houses scattered on the hillside. They were very dilapidated and could only provide shelter from the wind and rain.
The bodyguard found a relatively intact house for Yuan Tingchuan and Du Ruo and arranged them together. Yuan Tingchuan did not explain too much, and everyone who followed him tacitly agreed that this was his woman.
Du Ruo didn't say any pretentious nonsense. If others thought she was Yuan Tingchuan's woman, it would save her a lot of trouble, both now and in the future.
There was only a mat on the kang, which was very shabby. The bodyguard quickly took out the mat from the car and laid it on the bed. Du Ruo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She glanced out the window and saw colorful flowers planted in the yard, swaying gracefully in the heat wave, something that could never be seen in the mainland.
The yard was very large, almost the size of several acres of land, all planted with flowers. Yuan Tingchuan was standing next to the flower bed, talking to a few people.
He exuded a savage aura, his natural wildness was aroused to the fullest in this atmosphere, the aura he exuded with every move he made seemed to tear his prey into pieces, and the civilized temperament on his body was completely evaporated by the heat wave.
Yuan Tingchuan arranged everything, bent down and walked into the house, picked up the military water bottle on the table, and drank heartily.
The man's Adam's apple rolled as he gulped down the water, and water droplets dripped from the corners of his mouth onto his well-defined chest. The muscles on his body glowed with a honey-colored luster. Du Ruo had to admit that this man was a bit alluring.
Putting down the kettle, Yuan Tingchuan winked at Du Ruo: "What's wrong? You've been looking at me strangely since yesterday. Don't you recognize me?"
Du Ruo smiled: "I really feel he is quite unfamiliar." She had only met this big guy once in her previous life. Although she had not met him too often in this life, they had even exchanged saliva several times. She couldn't have the audacity to say that she was not familiar with him at all.
However, seeing Yuan Tingchuan like this really overturned her memory.
Yuan Tingchuan smiled and said, "I used to work here. I got a lot of jadeite rough materials in the Yuan Group warehouse from here. There's nothing special about this place. In fact, I like it very much."
What does it mean to get by? Du Ruo looked Yuan Tingchuan up and down. Is it what she thought it meant?
Seeing the big guy with the attitude of a tiger returning to the mountains and familiar with the environment, Du Ruo suddenly remembered the first time she met Yuan Tingchuan, the dark and gloomy eyes that seemed to be able to suppress people's souls.
Yuan Tingchuan just smiled and said nothing more.
The bodyguard outside the door knocked on the door with a map in his hand, and Yuan Tingchuan lowered his head and walked out again.
Du Ruo looked at the door thoughtfully, and she remembered what her stepbrother said before she left.
"Stay away from Yuan Tingchuan. That man is not a good person."
In fact, before she left, Ling Yun also called her and said, "Ruoruo, I originally wanted us to go together, but I really can't leave here. Yuan Tingchuan invited you to go, and it would be safer for you to go with him than with me.
He has considerable influence in northern Myanmar, but you have to be careful, Yuan Tingchuan is definitely not what you see on the surface."
Du Ruo was surprised and said: "We are not going to northern Myanmar, we are just going to the jade auction. There shouldn't be any big risks there."
Ling Yun smiled and said, "I'm afraid that you won't be able to decide when the time comes. You should be aware of this."
Du Ruo's heart was pounding.
Ling Yun seemed to know her hesitation through the phone line. Ling Yun said, "There is a saying that goes, there is no gain without pain. Yuan must have his own purpose in inviting you. You should be aware of this."
After struggling for several days, Du Ruo finally completed the procedures for going abroad and planned to take the trip.
Before leaving, Du Ruo called Ling Yun and said, "After you finish your work these past two days, please come home and help me look after Xiaozhe. I will be back as soon as possible."
Ling Yun agreed readily: "I will finish the work on hand in the next two days, so you can leave the house to me without worry."
Ling Yun's guess was correct. As soon as Du Ruo got off the plane, he was forcibly brought here.
