The tarmac was bathed in a warm orange hue by the setting sun at dusk.

A white private jet slowly landed on the tarmac, the roar of its engines gradually fading until it fell silent. Ground staff, dressed in neat uniforms and smiling, were already waiting on the tarmac, ready to welcome the passengers.

Not far away, several extended Lincoln limousines were neatly parked in front of the terminal. The doors were open, and warm lights spilled out from inside the cars, illuminating a small area of ​​the ground. Several men in sharp suits stood beside the cars, their postures upright like pine trees, their hands neatly at their sides, their eyes respectfully looking in the direction of the passenger planes, waiting for their arrival.

Shortly after, the plane door opened, and three figures disembarked. The men in suits immediately stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Welcome, President Su, to inspect our work!"

"President Su?" Lu Mingfei turned around and looked at Su Enxi with some surprise, asking with his eyes.

"Oh, actually, my real identity is a top investor in the international financial market, managing hundreds of billions of dollars." Su Enxi proudly puffed out her chest, answering with her eyes in return.

Mai Shude, standing to the side, was speechless, wondering when the two of them had become so close.

It seems that the two of them got along quite well on the plane, which makes sense considering they were both essentially homebodies. She felt like an outsider, unable to join the conversation. Plus, with nothing to do on the plane, she simply closed her eyes and took a nap. Little did she know that when she woke up, their relationship had progressed to the point where they could communicate with just their eyes, without saying a word.

"President Su, who are these two?" A well-dressed elite man's gaze swept over Jiu De Mai and Lu Mingfei beside Su Enxi, finally settling on Lu Mingfei. This seemingly ordinary young man was walking in front when they got off the plane, and President Su and the black-haired woman seemed to completely acquiesce to this.

This piqued his curiosity. This Ms. Su was no ordinary person; she was a top figure on Wall Street, known as the "Black Gold Swan," and their very boss, whom they all looked up to. They had heard she was here to inspect work, and they had vaguely heard of the black-haired woman beside her—seemingly Ms. Su's right-hand woman—but knew nothing of her background. And who was this young man? They had never heard of him before; for Ms. Su to allow him to walk ahead so freely, he must have some unknown background.

"My name is Lu Mingfei, and my surname is Shu..."

"Cough cough cough..." Lu Mingfei was about to introduce himself when he was interrupted by Su Enxi's rapid coughing. He turned his head and met Su Enxi's gaze. Lu Mingfei easily understood the meaning behind her gaze: "Boss, we're on good terms, so could you please not call me by my nickname in public? Give me some face."

Lu Mingfei understood, returned an affirmative look, then cleared his throat and spoke again: "Your CEO Su and I are deeply in love, and I will be your boss in the future. Since this is the capital, I'll do as the locals do and you can call me Master Lu. I don't mind."

Su Enxi, standing behind, couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. Meanwhile, Jiu De Mai, beside her, was filled with a desire to criticize. "Master," she thought, "what kind of feudal remnant is this? Does she intend to restore the imperial system and sit on a throne? And didn't Lu Mingfei almost blurt out 'potato chips' just now? Absolutely! How much of the plot did she miss while sleeping on the plane? Lu Mingfei is even starting to call Su Enxi by her nickname!"

As she was thinking, Mai suddenly realized something, shook her head and tried to shake off these thoughts. No, she couldn't think about it anymore. If she kept thinking, her cool and aloof female ninja persona would crumble into a comedic and sarcastic woman.

After listening to Lu Mingfei's words, the well-dressed social elite exchanged a glance with the person behind him and nodded knowingly—so he was the gigolo kept by President Su. No wonder. As for that strange way of speaking, maybe President Su just likes that kind of thing. After all, rich people have rather peculiar tastes, and this little thing is not worth mentioning.

"Mr. Su, you've come all this way, you must be tired. We've specially arranged a banquet to welcome you. This way, please!" The social elite said, gesturing for Lu Mingfei and his two companions to enter the extended Lincoln.

As Lu Mingfei and his companions stepped forward, a gap appeared behind them, and the man in the suit noticed that a quiet husky was following them. He didn't pay much attention, assuming it was just a pet owned by President Su, probably traveling with its owner.

The three people and the dog got into the car, the engine roared to life, and the car sped away from the airport, heading towards the city where the lights were gradually brightening.

Just a few kilometers after the stretch Lincoln left the airport, Lu Mingfei was suddenly moved, feeling as if he were being pulled by something invisible, and turned to look out the window at a dark direction.

Mai Shude immediately noticed his unusual behavior, subtly moving closer and asking in a low voice, "Boss, what's wrong? Something's up?"

Hearing the sound, Su Enxi quickly came over. Seeing the serious expression on Jiu De Mai's face, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous. She followed Lu Mingfei's gaze to the window, but found nothing.

Lu Mingfei shook his head, reached out and patted Su Enxi's head, and said, "Don't be nervous. I think I know why that brat Lu Mingze wanted me here."

"Huh? What's the reason?" Su Enxi asked, somewhat surprised.

"There's a Nibelungen here." Lu Mingfei continued, seeing Su Enxi and Jiu Demai's eyes widen. "And I smell the scent of mountains and rivers. This Nibelungen should be related to this."

After listening, Su Enxi couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Nibelungen... this is a realm that only the first generation of beings could create. And there's only one first generation of beings related to mountains and rivers—" At this point, she suddenly looked up and exchanged a glance with Jiu De Mai. The two of them blurted out almost simultaneously:

"King of the Earth and Mountains!"

Lu Mingfei nodded slightly, a smile appearing on his face: "I roughly know who Lu Mingze's old friend is. I wasn't too concerned at first, but now that I understand, I'd quite like to meet her."

"What are you afraid of? Is that all the courage you have? With me here, how could I let her hurt you?" Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes, his tone filled with disappointment.

"Then... Boss, you can't lie to me, my life depends on you..." Su Enxi still clung tightly to Lu Mingfei's clothes and refused to let go, staring at Lu Mingfei with a pitiful expression on her face.

"Alright, alright, I told you you'll be fine, that's enough." Annoyed by her harassment, Lu Mingfei impatiently slapped away Su Enxi's hand that was clutching his clothes. Su Enxi, who had been shaken off, bared her teeth, clearly displeased, but dared not show it openly. Instead, she took advantage of the moment Lu Mingfei turned his head to glare at him fiercely, sticking out her tongue and mouthing silently, "You stingy little devil!"

Watching this farce unfold, Mai Shude could only sigh helplessly, rubbing her forehead.
