"I want to go back to Jiulong Mountain Villa to see my mom. She kept coughing when I talked to her on the phone, her health seems not so good. But I’m afraid of running into an ambush if I go back by myself, so could you please accompany back?"
Lin Er looked up at him, her moist eyes staring straight at him.
Yang Cheng’s heart softened, and he understood how she felt. After thinking for a mont, he said, "You’d better not leave here to avoid exposing your whereabouts. I can go back and visit Manor Master Ye for you."
"That works too."
Lin Er was also worried about the elixir embryo inside her possibly having issues. Although the factory did not have as high a security level as Jiulong Mountain Villa, those people wouldn’t expect her to be here, so for now, staying was the safest option.
"Then I’ll go buy dicine first and then go to Jiulong Mountain Villa to diagnose Manor Master Ye’s pulse. It won’t take too long."
Yang Cheng pondered.
"Thank you."
Lin Er’s eyebrows curved, adding a hint of playfulness.
Fang Ling, standing nearby, watched them chatting and was so annoyed she stomped her foot.
After the two finished discussing, they walked over towards Fang Ling.
Yang Cheng said helplessly, "Ling Ling, I have other things to do tonight. You should stop following ."
"Brother Cen, you promised earlier."
Fang Ling clung to his arm, acting spoiled with a face full of unwillingness.
She had always hoped to have a private world with Yang Cheng. Just when he finally ca today, Lin Er disrupted it.
This Lin Er did it on purpose!
Fang Ling was furious and glared at Lin Er.
Lin Er was not to be outdone and glared back.
Their apparent competition fell into Yang Cheng’s eyes. He didn’t understand what was on the minds of young girls, thinking about Ye Xixue’s illness still needing control, he could only say goodbye and leave.
As soon as Yang Cheng left, Fang Ling coldly questioned, "Lin Er, are you doing this on purpose? Why must you target ?"
"Miss Fang, don’t overthink it. I just asked Yang Cheng to help with sothing very important, and I don’t have the leisure to target you."
Lin Er replied haughtily, her entire deanor exuding the aura of a rich young lady, instantly overshadowing Fang Ling.
"Don’t be too arrogant! Don’t think that because you are the daughter of Jiulong Mountain Villa, I will be afraid of you. Even if you have a high status, you still have to stay in our factory to lay low!"
Fang Ling was so angry her face turned red, and she began to speak recklessly.
When the crowd heard Jiulong Mountain Villa, they gasped.
Few people in Peach Blossom County were unaware of Jiulong Mountain Villa, whose industries stretched across all sectors of Peach Blossom County, controlling its economic lifeline.
Who would have thought Lin Er was the young lady of Jiulong Mountain Villa!
Everyone was dumbfounded, recalling if they had said anything to offend Lin Er in the past.
To have truly offended such a figure, they wouldn’t even know how they’d die.
"Shut your mouth! Don’t talk nonsense!"
Lin Er glared angrily, reaching out to cover Fang Ling’s mouth.
"I will say it! If it weren’t for Yang Cheng’s sake, we wouldn’t have taken you in. Who knows what trouble you caused and had to hide away."
Fang Ling shook off Lin Er’s hand and, in anger, spilled everything out.
Previously Yang Cheng brought Lin Er to the factory to stay, saying it was to let her gain experience and she stayed on the premise of being a relative of Chu Xiaoyu.
But Fang Ling wasn’t a fool, guessing there must be so hidden story, just choosing not to reveal it.
Now, being provoked by Lin Er, she lost her rationality and ignored what could and couldn’t be said.
Just as the two were arguing, Chu Xiaoyu quickly walked over, raised her hand, and slapped Fang Ling, scolding, "Shut up! You mustn’t talk recklessly!"
With a crisp ’slap’ sound, everyone was amazed.
They were all old employees of the factory, knowing how much General Manager Chu doted on her daughter, never saying a harsh word, and today she actually hit her daughter.
"Mom, you hit ?"
Fang Ling covered her burning cheek, looking incredulously at Chu Xiaoyu.
Chu Xiaoyu glanced at her own hand, realizing she was impulsive, she quickly explained, "Mom didn’t an to, it’s just you..."
She naturally knew Lin Er staying at the factory was likely to avoid soone, specifically instructing not to reveal her identity. Now, Fang Ling publicly said those words, potentially causing trouble for Lin Er.
Before finishing the sentence, she was interrupted by the angry Fang Ling, "I don’t want to hear it! Since Lin Er ca, you and Yang Cheng only care about her, not my feelings, I hate you all!"
Fang Ling started crying, covered her face and ran out.
"Ling Ling! Stop! Where are you going?"
Chu Xiaoyu rembered the day Fang Ling ran out and nearly got lost in the mountains, she beca anxious and quickly chased after her.
Lin Er stood aside, feeling awkward. She didn’t think she was at fault; if Fang Ling hadn’t exposed her identity, it wouldn’t have co to this.
"You...are you really Miss Ye?"
The employees looked at Lin Er with so apprehension, eyes full of curiosity.
Lin Er didn’t know how to explain for a mont, could only avoid talking about it and found an excuse to return to her dormitory.
She felt she couldn’t continue staying at the factory. Once Yang Cheng returned, she’d tell him and find a new place to stay.
anwhile, Cheng Ruonan received a phone call.
"We just found Lin Er’s location."
"Where?"
Cheng Ruonan imdiately sat up straight, eyes bursting with excitent.
She had infiltrated Jiulong Mountain Villa without finding Lin Er’s whereabouts, asked people to search for a day, and as the sky was about to darken she thought there was no hope today, unexpectedly, there was a clue.
"At a facial mask processing factory in the suburbs, I’ll send you the address."
"Facial mask processing factory? Why would Lin Er go to such a place?"
Cheng Ruonan was puzzled, wondering if the information collector had made a mistake.
"Not clear, but from our spies’ reports, we can basically confirm she’s hiding in the factory. They even took photos and will send them to you later."
Cheng Ruonan pondered, seemingly understanding as well, the less likely a place, the less likely it would be discovered, Lin Er hiding there made sense.
"I got it, send all Lin Er’s information, I’ll act tonight."
After hanging up, Cheng Ruonan received a lot of information and so secretly taken photos of Lin Er.
The facial mask processing factory was a very rundown place, security level was poor, the only difficulty was not being certain which room Lin Er was in.
Just could sneak in at night, investigate carefully, covertly kill her, and report back to the Sect Leader.
The Sect Leader ntioned surprising her, could it be so cultivation magical treasure?
