Chapter 354: Helpless Compromise
Lu Yichen, who had no expression at first, frowned immediately after hearing Zhong Nianyao's words, "Yao'er, what are you going to do?"
Zhong Nianyao tilted her head and smiled, then said, "It's just like the special branch! I'll be the bait. When the time comes, we'll seize the opportunity to directly catch the mastermind behind this. Otherwise, more girls will go missing."
"I don't agree." Lu Yichen rejected it directly. "This is too dangerous. When we get back, I will follow up personally and will soon find out who is behind this. Since we are here on vacation, let's have fun!"
"Why?" Zhong Nianyao shook her head and said directly, "Since this has already happened, let's solve it!"
"Besides, you know my abilities, I'll be fine. Besides, you're here too! Can you really just watch me get into trouble?"
"No." Lu Yichen's attitude was very firm. "This matter is not negotiable. Since we are here to have fun, let's have fun and don't worry about other things."
"Whether you agree or not, I've made up my mind." Zhong Nianyao stuck out her tongue, smiled mischievously, and then said, "If you agree, I'll handle this matter by myself. You know I have the ability to do this."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yichen's face suddenly became gloomy, and even the temperature in the room dropped several degrees in an instant.
If it were an ordinary person, he would have already given in by now.
However, it was obvious that Zhong Nianyao was not an ordinary person, and she knew in her heart that no matter what, Lu Yichen would never hurt her. So she persisted.
It was unknown how long it had passed before Lu Yichen was the first to give in. He sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, I promise you."
Zhong Nianyao expected Lu Yichen to compromise. She stepped forward, took Lu Yichen's hand, and said with a smile, "Don't be so serious! Everything is predestined and arranged by heaven. We came here, heard about this matter, and have the ability to solve it, so why not take action!"
"You!" Lu Yichen couldn't help but stretch out his hand and scratched Zhong Nianyao's pretty nose, "Why do you have to take the blame for this matter?"
"I'm not taking on this task myself. I made this decision after careful consideration." Zhong Nianyao smiled and shook her head. "My master once taught me that if I have the ability to help others, I should do so."
"Then your master is truly great!" Lu Yichen's tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction, "If he can't help others, does he really have to sacrifice himself?"
When he said this, he couldn't help but think of the incident when Zhong Nianyao fainted while trying to save the people on the plane. His expression became even uglier.
"Then you're wrong."
Who would have thought that Zhong Nianyao actually shook her head, then smiled and said, "You haven't even heard the whole thing! My master isn't that great. He also taught me that if you find yourself unable to do something, then you should stop immediately, even if it means deserting."
Hearing this answer, Lu Yichen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then he held his forehead and said speechlessly, "Then your master, he is really quite interesting!"
"Yeah!" Zhong Nianyao's tone was filled with nostalgia, "He was a very interesting old man."
"Then when will you take me to meet him?" Lu Yichen said directly, "You should also thank him for teaching you so well!"
"You won't be able to see him anymore." Zhong Nianyao's tone was tinged with a shadow, "I won't be able to see him either."
After hearing Zhong Nianyao's words, Lu Yichen's eyes flashed with understanding. He then reached out and patted Zhong Nianyao's hair, then smiled and said to comfort her, "I will always be by your side."
Looking at Lu Yichen's expression, Zhong Nianyao couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Don't be so serious! This isn't a big deal. Besides, so much has already happened, I've already let it go."
She had been deeply saddened by her master's death. However, as a fortune teller herself, she understood the cycle of cause and effect. Birth, aging, sickness, and death were inevitable outcomes for all.
Not sure whether to believe it or not, Lu Yichen nodded and then changed the subject, "Okay, what are you going to do next?"
"Let's have a fight!" Zhong Nianyao rolled her eyes and spoke directly, "Then I'll run away, just like the couple that the boss lady mentioned. If the mastermind hiding in the dark is really not an ordinary person, then he will definitely take action."
Hearing Zhong Nianyao's idea, Lu Yichen frowned, "Fight?"
He had never argued with anyone before, let alone with Zhong Nianyao. In the past, as long as he glared at them, the people under him would not even dare to breathe. Not to mention that others were always respectful in front of him. He really had no experience of this.
Looking at Lu Yichen's expression, Zhong Nianyao found it amusing. She shook her head and continued, "Actually, you don't need to do anything. Just stand there with a cold face and say nothing. As for the rest, I will do it myself and make sure no one will notice any flaws."
Lu Yichen still disagreed with Zhong Nianyao's decision to use him as bait, but he couldn't persuade her and finally had to compromise.
After discussing what to do, Zhong Nianyao sighed helplessly, then looked at Lu Yichen and said, "Tell me, is my luck not that good? Why do I always run into trouble every time I go out to play? Could it be that I have the legendary unlucky physique?"
Lu Yichen was a little amused. "Things exist objectively. No matter whether you are here or not, this matter will never be resolved. If you come, maybe this matter can be resolved faster."
Just like what happened this time.
"Okay!" Zhong Nianyao shrugged and said helplessly, "I'm just sighing. Because this kind of thing has happened too many times."
"Why don't you change your mind now and not get involved in this matter?" Lu Yichen asked tentatively.
"No." Zhong Nianyao refused directly, "This matter must be resolved before we leave, otherwise who knows how many girls will be harmed!"
