Chapter 97

During this meal, Dong Qingran complained to her a lot about her fiancé.

Her Hill family and Davis's Loffield family belong to the same Oliverland Group.

Families within the consortium have been intermarrying for generations, and she and Loffield were engaged since childhood.

The two grew up together as childhood sweethearts and finally got engaged last year.

Dong Qingran has always liked him since she was a child, but since she came to China this time, she has been quite dissatisfied with Luo Feier.

Not only did he live outside for a while, but he also went out frequently after moving to Dong's house.

"What can a man do here without a job and often not going home?" Dong Qingran said in a muffled voice, looking very unhappy.

Her radiant eyes were already covered with a layer of mist, and she looked a little aggrieved.

"I won't tell him that I'm in Shenhai. I'll see when he'll find out!" She folded her arms across her chest, leaned back in her chair, and sulked.

As the consortium with the most international connections between China and the world, the Dong Group's headquarters is located in Shenhai City, not the capital, which is located in the center of China's coastline and convenient for overseas travel.

Twenty years ago, in order to expand influence and gain more benefits, the focus was shifted to Shenhai.

Now that Mr. Dong is old and has consolidated his foundation, he no longer has to worry about company affairs and stays in Beijing.

Dong Zhaoyan stayed in Shenhai to work in the financial management team and did not go home for many years. He thought of handing Dong Qingran over to Grandpa Dong to take care of her. Having her stay by his side would also make the old man feel more at ease.

Now he was angry with Davis and came to Shenhai City with her.

Dong Zhaoyan was helpless but had no choice. Young people should be allowed to solve their own problems.

"Then why don't you go and see what he is doing?" Ning Ruchu put down his knife and fork and put his hand on her shoulder.

Dong Qingran's pupils flickered, and he suddenly realized: "Yes! He monitors me like a pervert, and it's justified. Why can't I monitor him?"

Ning Ruochu frowned slightly.

This suits her style, but Dong Qingran misunderstood it.

Her original intention was to let Dong Qingran stay with Davis more and see what he did every day to make him ignore her.

However, this is better.

Davis's behavior was indeed a bit outrageous.

……

After dinner we chatted for a while and when we came out it was already half past seven.

Ning Ruochu was sitting in the car, took out her mobile phone, and when she was clearing the notification messages, she suddenly found an email reminder.

After coming to China, she rarely used email.

When I opened it, it was a message from Payne Rogers.

——【I have arrived in Shenhai City, and I sincerely beg to meet you.】

Ning Ruochu looked at the time and typed down an address.

【At eight o'clock in the evening, I don't like waiting for people. 】

……

In the hotel, Payne Rogers was lying on the bed, not in a good mood.

He was adjusting to the time difference and had just sent a message to O, so he managed to make it until now.

The phone alert sounded suddenly in his ear. Payne Rogers stood up excitedly and saw the message on the mailbox.

His hands were shaking with excitement. He edited and deleted a line of words several times before sending it out.

【I will definitely arrive on time! 】

After sending it, I got up immediately and went to the bathroom to tidy up my appearance.

He couldn't dress casually to meet his idol.

After fiddling around for a while, Payne Rogers suddenly realized that ten minutes had passed, and was so shocked that he went downstairs immediately.

After turning on the navigation on my phone, I realized that the meeting place O had scheduled was not far from his hotel. It was an exquisitely decorated dessert shop.

Payne Rogers found a conspicuous spot, making sure the other party could see him at a glance, and sat down nervously.

After checking the time for who knows how many times, Ning Ruchu's car slowly stopped at the door.

When she walked in, she immediately caught sight of a foreign face by the window.

I didn't go over immediately, but bought a matcha mille-feuille at the checkout counter and took it away.

Payne Rogers was waiting anxiously when someone suddenly sat down in front of him.

He raised his eyes and looked at the other person's soft and lovely face with a bit of disgust.

"Go away, kid!"

Afraid that people might not understand, he even thoughtfully took out translation software.

But he didn't expect the other party to call out his name directly: "Payne Rogers."

Ning Ruochu spoke each word clearly, fearing that he might not hear clearly.

Payne Rogers was surprised, "How do you know my name?"

Yes, he is a legendary F1 racing driver, it is normal for him to have some fans outside.

However, Payne Rogers did not expect that the girl in front of him, who looked so weak and fragile, was actually a racing fan?

He has always been tolerant of fans, and his voice was much more tolerant than before: "Listen, kid, I know you adore me, but I'm waiting for someone very important right now, so I don't have time to sign autographs or take photos with you. If you really like me, just move aside."

Ning Ruochu sneered, "You are quite shameless. The longest relationship you have ever had in your life was probably with yourself."

In other words, he is narcissistic.

Payne Rogers' face darkened instantly, "Where did this little kid come from? Where is your mother?"

Ning Ruochu raised her eyebrows and gently stroked her face with her slender fingers.

This face was more deceptive than she had expected.

When he heard that she was getting married, Qiao Weisong was happy.

But Ning Ruchu was unwilling to reveal her identity, which meant that she could never come back. Qiao Weisong was heartbroken and cursed Luo Zhouheng eight hundred times overnight.

Now that Luo Zhouheng is dead, he can contact his little disciple openly.

The corners of Qiao Weisong's mouth rose unconsciously.

Ran Yunqing happened to be standing next to him, and seeing his silly smile, he was speechless: "It's just a phone call, is that a big deal?"

Qiao Weisong glanced at her and said, "This is your junior sister's phone number."

"I know." Ran Yunqing looked proud, "We just passed it two days ago."

Qiao Weisong: “…”

Damn, I was shown off.

He was so angry that he immediately asked, "Little disciple, have you forgotten about this old man like me?"

The words from the other end came clearly, Ning Ruochu's eyes flashed with helplessness, and her voice was soft, with obvious timidity and helplessness.

"Excuse me, are you the head of Lingxin Hall?"

Qiao Weisong was stunned for a moment, then he angrily said: “You even can’t hear your master’s voice… Ugh!!”

Ran Yunqing quickly covered his mouth and reminded him: "Luo Zhouheng is just dead, it doesn't mean his influence has disappeared."

Only then did Qiao Weisong realize that his little apprentice was still in the wolf's den.

He remained calm and patted Ran Yunqing's hand.

Before he could escape from the shackles, Ning Ruochu's voice came again: "Um, someone here has been stung by a Liberica black fat-tailed scorpion. Can you send a doctor over?"

The panicked words did not arouse Yeyue's suspicion. Qiao Weisong's eyes lit up.

Isn't the chance to visit my little apprentice here?
Yeyue leaned over and spoke the phone to Ning Ruchu's ear.

"At the same time, the doctor will also be responsible for taking care of the lady. Please choose the best one."

A basin of cold water was poured over my head.

He was originally a dead person, but his soul somehow entered this doll.

Maybe, he really could have a chance of survival!
Luo Zhouheng was excited, but his soul was imprisoned and he could not react at all.

Madam Ye looked at her sad and distressed look, and felt sorry for her: "Madam, please don't be sad. Before you came, I divined again and got the same result. Perhaps, Mr. Luo's death will really have a turning point."

Divination is stressful, so the same thing should not be calculated repeatedly in a short period of time.

Madam Ye was able to perform divination twice only because of her strong strength.

Ning Ruochu bit her red lips, raised her eyes, and a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes.

"Is there really still hope for Ah Heng?"

Her voice faded away, and she was a little afraid to ask.

Old Madam Ye knew that she was afraid of getting a negative answer, or perhaps the facts were not satisfactory.

Fortune-telling is a mysterious thing. Even if her predictions were correct, she would not dare to be sure until the event happened.

"Madam, there is a saying: 'Three is the way of heaven, earth and man.' Three is also an extreme number. If I predict Mr. Luo's fortune for the third time and the result is still the same, then my conclusion just now can be basically confirmed."

"It's just that the hexagram may not be what I thought it was. It may also be that I misinterpreted it. You have to be mentally assured."

Hearing this, Ning Ruochu's eyes flickered, and she blinked lightly, and a tear fell.

She didn't care about her dignified manners, and excitedly held the old lady's hand, crying: "I... I don't know how to say it..."

Madam Ye closed her eyes solemnly and patted her hands gently: "Madam, I also hope that Mr. Luo is still alive. But fortune-telling the same thing twice in a row has already affected me. The next fortune-telling will have to be at least a month later."

"It doesn't matter, I can wait no matter how long it takes!" Those eyes with ripples on them were so determined at this moment.

Old Madam Ye was moved by her sincerity, and sighed in her heart that she was not wrong in the divination that year.

"Among them, there is one thing that is extremely important."

Ning Ruochu asked hurriedly: "What is it?"

Madam Ye: "Mr. Luo's health."

Ning Ruchu suddenly stopped and looked at her with a look of sadness and surprise in his eyes.

Madam Ye thought that she didn't understand, and said, "It has been a long time since the news of the master's death, but the body has not been salvaged yet, and the news of his death cannot be considered true. Madam, please pay more attention to this aspect."

Ning Ruochu felt relieved, but didn't show it on her face.

"Thank you for the reminder, old lady."

After saying this, Old Madam Ye began to tell fortunes for Ning Ruchu.

Luo Zhouheng left behind too many things for Ning Ruchu to inherit.

Her action was also to give advice to Ning Ruchu, so that this lady who had not experienced business disputes could feel more at ease.

As she looked, Mrs. Ye's eyes became strange.

"I have never seen such strange fortune as that of Madam."

She analyzed it carefully, but could not come to a conclusion for a long time. Suddenly, she said, "The luck that Madam carries is really surprising."

Ning Ruochu clenched his hands, his eyes were empty, as if he was recalling the past.

Fate was too strange for Madam Ye to understand for a moment. She could only remind him, "Madam, there will be villains around you during this period. You must be more careful. In addition, you must observe the people around you more. You must know the good and the bad and know how to distinguish them."

Ning Ruochu wrote down everything and said goodbye to Old Madam Ye before leaving.

When he went downstairs, Yeyue immediately came up to him and asked, "What did the old lady say to you?"

Ning Ruochu looked at her quietly: "She told me to be careful of the people around me."

Yeyue nodded, agreeing: "Madam has a simple personality, so we really need to be more careful."

Ning Ruochu was surprised by these words, so she deliberately asked, "Commander Ye, too?"

Unexpectedly, she actually admitted: "I am not a good person, I am just loyal to my husband."

Her loyalty is limited to Luo Zhouheng.

If one day, Ning Ruchu's actions touched Luo Zhouheng's bottom line, she would get rid of her without hesitation!

……

Butler Ye escorted the people out of the house, and the driver was still waiting there.

Hearing the noise, he quickly took back his phone and put on an appearance of doing his duty.

Yeyue glanced at him lightly and said nothing more.

However, when Ning Ruchu passed by, she deliberately raised her eyes and looked at his deep light green pupils.

After getting in the car, the driver glanced at the rearview mirror, his eyes stayed on Ning Ruochu for half a second, and asked, "Where are you going?"

Without any other arrangements, Ning Ruchu was supposed to return to the Pearl Island Villa, but Yeyue received a call in the middle of the trip.

She glanced at Ning Ruchu with a worried look.

Ning Ruchu felt something and said considerately, "If Commander Ye has something to do, you don't have to worry about me."

"It is my duty to protect the Madam." Ye Yue suppressed his expression, "It was just a little trouble caused by my subordinates, it can be solved quickly."

Ning Ruochu sneered.

If it were that simple, why would we need her as the leader?
……

The King underground martial arts training ground in the suburbs of Beijing.

The noisy shouting made Ning Ruchu, who had been pampered for the past two years, feel a little uncomfortable. The air was filled with a faint smell of blood, and the sound of metal colliding could be heard from time to time. The insults from the people at the scene were unbearable to hear.

Jennifer closed her eyes, her face heavy with sorrow, and nodded.

"We came here not only to mourn Mr. Luo's death, but also to hope to reach a cooperation with Luo's. Mrs. Luo should be in great need of help now."

This statement contains a double meaning, but Ning Ruchu wants to give two answers, one positive and one negative.

She didn't say anything, but looked at Ling Chuan for help.

Evan noticed all these subtle movements. He waved to the side and called over a young man and woman.

"This is a scientific researcher from our team. I believe Luo will be very interested."

Evan pointed at the young lady and said, "This is Miss Simon. She has three doctoral degrees. I can't even name two of them. I guess I'm too ignorant."

He made a small joke, turned his gaze slightly, and pointed at another man, "And this one has great attainments in physical engineering, and is a rocket expert."

“Although our team is small, we have endless potential.”

Ling Chuan's gaze swept over them one by one, his eyes gradually darkened, and his words were cold.

"There should be another member behind you."

This funeral was just an excuse for the Luo family to make a profit, and it was impossible for them to invite some unknown people to attend.

Evan smiled slightly, "Yes, we also have a very powerful hacker. She has cracked the RSA encryption system of the Sub-Saint Free Federation twice, using only a laptop."

Ling Chuan lowered his eyes slightly, as if in deep thought.

Even in the Hidden Alliance, there are no more than five people who have such technology.

He asked: "Your team is so amazing and would be appreciated anywhere, why did you choose Luo's?"

More importantly, why choose Ning Ruchu.
