Chapter 225 Stupidity
After a day of rest, Zhong Nianyao and Lu Yichen went out the next day.
Zhong Nianyao's visit wasn't just for vacation, she also had an important mission. So, instead of heading to the rough stone market, they drove directly to the jade mine in the suburbs. She planned to take a look and see if she could find the cause of the anomaly. It would be even better if they could resolve it today.
In the car, Lu Yichen received a call.
After hanging up the phone, he put it down, turned his head and looked at Zhong Nian Yao beside him.
"What?" Seeing Lu Yichen's strange look, Zhong Nianyao blinked, a puzzled look on her face, "Is the call you answered related to me?"
After Lu Yichen finished the call, he looked at her strangely. The content of the call should be related to her.
"That cousin of yours is quite capable!" Lu Yichen raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "Because of her, the entire Lu family is in turmoil now."
"Huh?" Zhong Nianyao was a little confused. "What did she do again?"
"Lu Chenran went on a tryst with your cousin the day after his wedding," Lu Yichen said calmly. "And they were even caught by paparazzi. It's become quite a big deal now. Long Jiarui is so angry that she's already gone back to her parents' home."
After hearing what Lu Yichen said, Zhong Nianyao widened her eyes in disbelief, "No way! Zhong Mengxuan is actually this stupid."
Zhong Mengxuan's actions were undoubtedly crossing the boundaries of the Lu and Long families. Now that things had gotten so serious, Zhong Mengxuan simply didn't have the ability to clean up the mess. Most importantly, this would definitely implicate the Zhong family.
She didn't have a deep affection for the Zhong family, but she had a very good affection for Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong. Something like this would definitely cause a lot of trouble for the two old people.
"Right now, both the Lu and Long families are in a mess because of this incident." Lu Yichen continued, "However, you can rest assured about one thing. Zhong Mengxuan has been exposed now. Although many people will accuse her of being a third party, at the same time, she has also been exposed to the public. Whether it is the Lu or Long family, they will definitely not dare to do anything to her. She is still very safe for the time being."
"I'm not worried about her at all." Zhong Nianyao shook her head, but her brows were furrowed. "I'm worried about my grandparents. They're not young anymore. Something like this happening now will have a huge impact on the Zhong family. As the helmsmen of the Zhong family, it's absolutely impossible for them to stay out of it."
Lu Yichen paused for a moment, then said calmly, "Don't worry, this is just a matter between the younger generation, and it won't involve the family."
In this way, it is like a guarantee.
Zhong Nianyao obviously understood as well. She looked at Lu Yichen in surprise, but didn't say much.
If it were something else, she might have simply refused. However, now that this matter involved the two elderly people, she simply couldn't stand by and watch.
This was also the first time she realized that she might not be strong enough. Otherwise, she would be able to solve such a problem by herself without asking for help from others.
However, she wouldn't let Lu Yichen help her for nothing. This time, she would help check the mine without asking for any compensation.
The car stopped at a mine on the outskirts of the city, and the two men got out.
This time, only Uncle Li and Allen came with them.
The mine looked quite empty, with not many people around. If it weren't for the few houses where the miners lived, it would be too secluded.
Zhong Nianyao glanced around, then turned to look at Lu Yichen beside her, "I think the mine is good. Both the geographical location and the feng shui structure are very good. And-"
Opening her third eye, she saw the faint spiritual energy shrouding the mountain. "The quality of the jade from this mine is really good!"
Jade is a natural gift from nature, naturally imbued with spiritual energy. The better the quality of the jade, the more spiritual energy it possesses.
This time, she also planned to find some high-quality jadeite and carve the talisman directly on it. The effect of this method would be many times better than carving it on yellow paper.
"Are there any problems?" Allen couldn't help but speak up from behind. "But, Miss Zhong, every time we start mining in this mine, something goes wrong. Many workers have been injured for no reason before. Now everyone is in a panic."
"At least, from the surface, I don't think there's anything unusual here." Zhong Nianyao shrugged and said, "However, if it's really as you said, then I'm afraid we have to go down and take a look to find out the situation."
"Okay, let's go down to the mine now!" Lu Yichen made the decision directly.
"Master." Uncle Li frowned, somewhat disapprovingly. "This is truly too dangerous. Why don't we accompany Miss Zhong down to the mine to check it out? You stay up there and wait."
He disapproved of his master's decision to personally go down into the mines. A master of his stature shouldn't be putting himself in danger. Especially now, with the situation still unclear, his master shouldn't be putting himself in danger.
"Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't go down." Zhong Nianyao also spoke up, "I can go down by myself. For me, these are just child's play. I won't let anything happen to me."
She didn't feel much about Uncle Li's words.
And, that seemed to make sense. In some ways, Lu Yichen could be considered her employer. It was only natural not to put her employer at risk.
"Let me go down with you!" Lu Yichen said calmly, "I'm the host. No matter what, I should be more familiar with the environment down there than you are!"
"master!"
Uncle Li wanted to say something, but when he saw Lu Yichen's somewhat cold eyes, he swallowed all the words that were about to come to his throat again.
He could see that his master was already unhappy. If he continued, he was afraid that he would really anger his master. If his master got angry, the consequences would be something he could not bear.
Seeing Lu Yichen's persistence, Zhong Nianyao didn't say anything. She shrugged and followed Lu Yichen.
Under Lu Yichen's leadership, Zhong Nianyao quickly arrived at the bottom of the mine.
Zhong Nianyao felt a hint of chill, but didn't feel anything unusual.
