Chapter 56 Encountering a Psychopath
Chen Leying carried the gold box and arrived at the gate of the courtyard.
There was a pair of stone lions at the entrance. Meng Qingyin quickly ran behind one of the stone lions and concealed herself.
Chen Leying knew that Meng Qingyin was following her and that her intentions were good, so she didn't say anything.
There were two guards at the entrance, who looked like twins.
Among them, the guard with the buzz cut stopped Chen Leying at the door: "What are you doing here?"
Chen Leying raised the gold box in her hand and said succinctly, "I am a bodyguard, here to deliver goods to Zheng Shi."
The man with the buzz cut looked at the gold box and hesitated for a moment.
The bald guard next to him leaned close to his ear and said, "You stay here and keep watch. I'll go ask Brother Ten what's going on."
The man with the buzz cut nodded. "Okay."
The bald man turned and ran inside.
The man with the buzz cut stared at Chen Leying warily. "Wait here for a bit."
Chen Leying took a few steps back while holding the gold box, and then she could see Meng Qingyin.
She nodded slightly to Meng Qingyin, who returned a smile.
At this moment, in Zheng Shi's room.
Zheng Yi is interrogating Zheng Shi.
"We've been looking for so long and still haven't found him. Are you lying to me?" Zheng Yi stared at Zheng Shi with a suspicious look.
Zheng Shi repeatedly denied it: "I didn't lie to you, brother. Everything I said is true."
Zheng Yi snapped, "Then why haven't we heard anything after searching for so long?"
"How would I know..." Zheng Shi muttered softly, "I'm even more eager to find her than you are to do."
Zheng Yi, seething with rage, slapped Zheng Shi on the back of the head. "I really want to knock all the water out of your head! How could you give such an important token to a woman whose background you don't even know!"
Zheng Shi hissed in pain and retorted somewhat discontentedly, "She's my lover!"
"Lovers?" Zheng Yi sneered. "I think you're just having a one-sided crush. You've been scammed and you're even helping the scammer count the money!"
Zheng Shi: "Then why did she lie to me instead of others? She must like me!"
Zheng Yi: "Damn it, how could I have such a stupid younger brother like you!"
The two brothers were arguing when the bald man ran over: "Tenth Brother, there's a woman outside looking for you. She says she has some goods for you to escort. Oh, Big Brother, you're here too?"
Zheng Shi's eyes suddenly lit up. "It's her! It must be her!"
He lifted his foot and rushed out.
Zheng Yi grabbed him, "I'll go with you to take a look."
That woman still dares to come knocking on our door!
Zheng Shi: "Okay, you'll know I was right once you see her."
The three of them walked all the way to the door.
When Zheng Yi and Zheng Shi saw the woman's face at the door, they were both stunned.
Zheng Shi's disappointment was palpable as he murmured, "So it wasn't her after all..."
Zheng Yi was overjoyed and strode forward, his voice trembling uncontrollably: "Ruo... Ruolan, is it really you? Am I dreaming again?"
Chen Leying's expression was indifferent, her brows slightly furrowed: "Are you Zheng Shi? This is the goods for you to escort. Please sign for them."
"What did you say?" Zheng Yi's expression changed. "It's me! It's your Yi Yi, Ruolan!"
Chen Leying rolled her eyes. "You've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not the person you're looking for. Also, I'm looking for Zheng Shi."
Zheng Shisan took two steps forward, raised his hand, and said, "Me! I am Zheng Shi!"
His gaze lingered on Chen Leying and Zheng Shi's faces.
Is this his sister-in-law? Oh no, his ex-sister-in-law?
Chen Leying tossed the gold box in her hand to Zheng Shi, saying, "This is your cargo. Take it."
Zheng Shi quickly caught it, and said blankly, "Thanks..."
Just as Chen Leying reached into her pants pocket to take out the token and return it to Zheng Shi, Zheng Yi suddenly rushed up, grabbed her shoulders, and exclaimed excitedly, "How could I mistake you for someone else? You are Ruolan!"
Why did you lie to me? Why did you lie to me again?
He became more and more agitated as he spoke, shaking Chen Leying's shoulders forcefully with both hands.
Suddenly, with a "clink," the token fell to the ground.
Zheng looked down, saw it was a token, quickly picked it up, and questioned, "You have the token I gave you, and you still say you're not Ruolan!"
Chen Leying had long been impatient, so she took out a sleeping pill and sprinkled it in front of Zheng Yi's face. The 1.8-meter-tall strong man's eyes rolled back and he fell straight down.
Chen Leying quickly took a few steps back to avoid inhaling the drug. Zheng Shi panicked when he saw this, "You can't leave!"
Before he could go forward, he was stunned by a stun from a blow by a masked man who rushed out from behind the stone lion.
The bald and buzz-cut brothers also fell to the ground.
"Are you alright?" Meng Qingyin walked over and asked.
Chen Leying patted her shoulder, "You've run into a lunatic—have you completed your mission?"
Meng Qingyin nodded. "It's done. Let's go."
The two quickly left and drove to a road more than ten kilometers away from the Robbery Alliance.
Meng Qingyin, who was in front, slowly reduced her speed and stopped the car. Chen Leying, who was following behind, also stopped her car.
A short while later, Meng Qingyin got off the bus with a large bag of pea shoots and came to Chen Leying. "These are the pea shoots I promised you."
Chen Leying got out of the car, and then took the pea shoots and weighed them. "This is more than a pound, isn't it? Why are you giving me so much?"
Meng Qingyin: "It must weigh about five jin (2.5 kg), which can be considered compensation for this accident."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "You know that Zheng Yi?"
She was hiding behind the stone lion at the time, so she couldn't hear the three of them talking very clearly, but she could still vaguely hear some of it.
Judging from Zheng Yi's expression, it's not as simple as just knowing Chen Leying.
Chen Leying: "I don't know her. How could I know an NPC?"
Meng Qingyin nodded, "That makes sense."
Chen Leying put the pea shoots into her system inventory before hesitatingly asking, "Just now... you rushed out to help me, what do you want in return?"
She didn't have much of the sleeping potion left. Although she had knocked out Zheng Yi, there were still Zheng Shisan and his men.
If those three attacked her at the same time, she really wouldn't be able to handle it.
Fortunately, Meng Qingyin intervened.
Meng Qingyin helped her, and she didn't want to owe her anything.
Meng Qingyin was surprised, "What kind of reward do you want? I said from the beginning that I would secretly follow and protect you, and I certainly won't abandon you. Besides, you encountered an accident because you helped me deliver something, so I certainly won't sit idly by."
She asked Chen Leying to help her deliver the goods, so naturally she had to ensure Chen Leying's safety, which was perfectly reasonable.
Chen Leying has no obligation to repay her.
A strange glint flashed in Chen Leying's beautiful eyes, but it quickly returned to its cold indifference. "If you don't want it, then forget it."
She got back into the car and slammed the door shut.
Then, the SUV slowly started and drove past Meng Qingyin.
Meng Qingyin: "..."
Just like that, you left?
The next moment, the SUV suddenly braked and stopped.
Chen Leying returned, raised her hand and shook her wristwatch, her expression somewhat serious: "Another mission has been refreshed."
