Chapter 229 Return the Call
"That's right!" Lu Yichen nodded. "If Uncle Li returns to the surface, he will take care of everything."
"That's good." Zhong Nianyao nodded, "However, I really didn't expect that things would go so smoothly."
She had originally thought it would take several days, but unexpectedly, everything had already been resolved on the first day. This trip had gone so smoothly that it was almost unbelievable.
"Next, let me take you for a walk around!" Lu Yichen suggested, "You are very interested in the gambling stones in Myanmar, right? I'll take you to experience it."
Zhong Nianyao nodded and said with a smile, "That's just right. I also want to find some jadeite with better water quality and carve some amulets for my grandparents to wear."
After hearing Zhong Nian Yao's words, a dark light flashed in Lu Yichen's eyes.
As the two were talking, they had unknowingly reached the cave entrance.
As soon as they came out of the cave, they and the people outside couldn't help but look at each other in confusion.
There were a lot of people outside, each of them was in a hurry, with a serious look on their faces, as if they were facing some huge problem.
Uncle Li, who was directing something at the moment, lit up his eyes the moment he saw Lu Yichen, and there was a huge surprise in his eyes. He hurried forward and said, "Master, you are finally out."
Not only Uncle Li, but also those busy people stopped what they were doing the moment they saw Lu Yichen appear, and the surprise on their faces was obvious.
It can be seen that the purpose of their appearance here this time is for Lu Yichen.
Lu Yichen looked at the people who suddenly appeared on the mine with a deep look in his eyes. Then he asked calmly, "Uncle Li, how long have we been trapped underground?"
It seems that Uncle Li has already gathered most of their people in Myanmar, and judging by the situation, they must have been missing for a long time.
Zhong Nianyao, who was standing aside, had her eyes flashed with a hint of surprise after hearing what Lu Yichen said.
"Master, we've been out of contact for three days." Uncle Li's tone was filled with relief. "I don't know why, but Allen and I left the mine that day and showed up at the entrance. Since then, we've been trying to find a way to get into the mine."
"Unexpectedly, the entrance was like a layer of solid glass, and we couldn't get in no matter what we did. We tried many ways in the past three days, but couldn't get in. Fortunately, the master came out today, otherwise, we would have planned to ask the imperial capital for help."
God knows how tormented they were during those three days.
A hint of understanding flashed in Zhong Nianyao's eyes, and she quickly accepted the fact that she and Lu Yichen had disappeared for three days.
It seemed that the barrier set up by Hu Xiaoman had isolated them in another dimension. The passage of time between dimensions was different, so for her and Lu Yichen, it was only a few hours. But for Uncle Li and the others outside, it felt like three days had passed.
After talking to Uncle Li for a few words, Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao went straight back to the hotel.
After finishing all these things today, they were a little tired and it was a good time to go back and rest. As for Uncle Li, he had to stay at the mine to deal with the remaining matters.
After returning to the hotel, Zhong Nianyao discovered that there were several missed calls on her phone. She checked and saw that they were all from her grandparents, and they had been calling continuously for the past two days.
Not daring to delay any further, Zhong Nianyao quickly picked up the phone and returned the call.
The call was quickly picked up, and the person who answered was Mr. Zhong.
"Yaoyao, is that you?" Mr. Zhong's tone was filled with anxiety. "Where are you now? Are you okay? Why haven't you answered the phone?"
The series of questions made Zhong Nianyao feel a little overwhelmed. "Grandpa, don't be anxious, just ask one question at a time. How can I answer you when you keep asking questions like a machine gun?"
After hearing Zhong Nianyao's voice, Mr. Zhong finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then he couldn't help but complain, "What's going on with you these past two days, kid? Why haven't you answered the phone?"
"Grandpa, I didn't mean to do that." Zhong Nianyao quickly begged for mercy, "My phone was accidentally broken and I just fixed it, so I didn't receive your call."
"That's good," said Old Master Zhong, finally feeling relieved. "Yaoyao! When you go out, be very careful! And don't run around casually, okay?"
"I see." Zhong Nianyao felt a little helpless, then suddenly asked as if she had thought of something, "Grandpa, is everything okay at home?"
Mr. Zhong across from him paused for a moment, then immediately burst into a hearty laugh, his tone unchanged from usual. "What could possibly happen at home? Just have fun out there, and everything will be fine at home."
"Grandpa, I know everything about Zhong Mengxuan." Zhong Nianyao said directly, "My family hasn't been affected at all, right?"
After hearing what Zhong Nianyao said, Old Master Zhong had nothing to hide. He couldn't help but sigh, "Your cousin is also a fool. She rushed to become Lu Chenran's lover. Now, when she was newly married, such a thing happened. Her reputation is completely ruined."
"Now, she has no other choice but to be Lu Chenran's lover. And yet she is still so complacent."
If the matter had not been exposed, Zhong Mengxuan would have died at any time if she wanted to regret it and marry into a good family.
However, now that her affair with Lu Chenran had become known to everyone, no family in the upper class would be willing to accept such a wife or daughter-in-law!
"Don't worry about her affairs." Zhong Nianyao persuaded, "As long as the family is not affected, it's fine."
"My family is doing well," said Mr. Zhong without any heaviness in his tone. "The Lu and Long families are both reasonable people. They didn't take their anger out on us because of this incident."
This also surprised him. He had already prepared for the pressure from the Lu and Long families. But nothing happened. In fact, even the previous cooperation with the Lu family was not cancelled and continued in an orderly manner.
"That's great!" Zhong Nianyao naturally knew what was going on, "Just relax!"
