Liu Ruying said blankly, "But didn't my cousin run away from home and cut off all ties?"

“That’s right, but if even a daughter who has severed ties with him is not eligible to inherit his property, then why would he be willing to give it to you, who is not related by blood but is only his daughter in name?”

Then he added, "Furthermore, according to the Liu family tradition, family wealth cannot fall into the hands of outsiders. If they are not leaving their family property to Liu Ruyan because they are afraid that she will marry someone outside the family, then if I marry you, won't the property fall into the hands of outsiders?"

Liu Ruying remained silent, lost in thought.

Chen Ya said, "I am from the Lu family, and you are from the Liu family. Old Master Lu's arranged marriage did not mean that a member of the Lu family would marry into the Liu family. Your uncle only has one daughter, which means that as long as he does not adopt the form of marrying into the family, his family wealth will always flow to someone outside the family."

Liu Ruying suddenly looked up.

She was beginning to understand Chen Ya's way of thinking.

What's even more frightening is that his way of thinking is perfectly reasonable.

Moreover, following his line of reasoning, that means...

“So, you’ve been tricked,” Chen Ya said. “You thought you were scheming against your uncle, but in reality, you’ve been tricked instead.”

Liu Ruying's eyes widened, and she said, "You mean, my uncle also used a substitution trick, using me to deal with this arranged marriage?"

“Yes, that’s what my reasoning tells me,” Chen Ya said. “Once you’ve completed the arranged marriage by Old Master Lu, you’ll be useless. He’ll try every means to bring Liu Ruyan back, and you’ll be kicked aside.”

“If we’re looking for evidence, it’s that they’ve never given up on Liu Ruyan,” Chen Ya said. “I happen to know that they’ve been trying to repair their relationship with Liu Ruyan. If they were really so heartless as to not even give her the inheritance, why would they bother with all that?”

Liu Ruying sat there, stunned.

She was deeply moved and remained unsettled for a long time.

“What should I do?” she asked.

She used a pleading tone.

It's like someone who accidentally steps off a staircase and loses their balance, but in doing so, they end up grabbing whatever they can get their hands on.

Liu Ruying is in this state right now.

Unbeknownst to her, her attitude towards Chen Ya had changed from "taking care of her mentally challenged boyfriend" to a kind of dependence on him, much like she would on a senior.

“It’s simple, come work for me,” Chen Ya said. “If you’re talented and hardworking, your net worth won’t be less than Pei Hu’s. At that point, will you still care about your uncle’s meager fortune?”

Liu Ruying remained silent, thought about it, and realized that it seemed to be true.

Although Pei Hu is not yet accepted by most aristocratic families because of his background, his wealth has long surpassed that of his uncle.

Moreover, the speed at which he rose to fame was unimaginable. He achieved his current level of success in just a few years, surpassing even his uncle's lifetime of accumulation.

Her only question was whether Chen Ya's power was really that great.

Liu Ruying suddenly remembered that when Chen Ya told Pei Hu that he had taken a liking to her, Pei Hu had given her an envious look.

Those looks were genuine envy, not mere politeness or flattery.

Chen Ya's mere mention of having taken a liking to someone was enough to make that powerful figure envious of him...

Liu Ruying suddenly felt that it was even harder for her to guess Chen Ya's identity.

In her opinion, apart from the few people she could see on TV, no other big shot could match the strength that Chen Ya was currently demonstrating.

"What do you want me to do?" Liu Ruying asked.

Chen Ya turned to look at her.

"I admire you even more now."

"What's wrong?" Liu Ruying tilted her head and clenched her hands on her thighs.

"You recovered quite quickly; you have a strong mentality."

"You flatter me," Liu Ruying said simply.

Chen Ya slammed the car to a stop on the side of the road, climbed into the back seat, grabbed a thick document, and slammed it heavily into Liu Ruying's arms.

“This is the information that the original owner of this car, who is also your ex, helped me collect. Take these few days to organize it and find out the information about the Lu family,” he said.

Looking at the thick stack of documents, Liu Ruying felt overwhelmed.

“Especially Lu Yuanlong’s two brothers,” Chen Ya said, “their social relationships need to be fully documented.”

After flipping through a few pages, Liu Ruying took a deep breath, looked up, and asked, "When do you need it?"

"The sooner the better."

After saying that, Chen Ya added, "Your phone has set my contact information to 'special attention,' so you're on call 24/7. I might ask you questions at any time. Also, there's no salary during this period, but if you need funding, you can apply to me."

After saying that, he started the vehicle again.

"Is that all?" Liu Ruying asked, tossing her hair.

That's all for now.

"OK," Liu Ruying said decisively, without any hesitation.

She didn't ask any further questions.

Don't ask the boss about his intentions, just execute them.

From this perspective, she was born to be a secretary.

After leaving Liu Ruying at Peking University, Chen Ya handed her a USB drive.

"What is this?" Liu Ruying asked, looking up at the USB drive.

"The Eagle's Nest server key," Chen Ya said. "Go tell the current person in charge of Eagle's Nest that we will be electing a new Eagle King next year, and you will temporarily keep the Eagle King's key in your possession."

Although it was full of terms that Liu Ruying didn't understand, she knew without a doubt that this thing was extremely important.

"Then how did this thing end up on you?" Liu Ruying asked.

Chen Ya did not answer, but simply rolled up the car window and drove away.

Liu Ruying stood still, the Lexus car reflected in her dark, bright eyes.

She watched for a long time, and only left after the car disappeared at the end of the long street.

Liu Ruying, carrying a pile of documents in her arms, turned and walked into the school gate.

Tall people like her walk gracefully, especially with her well-tailored clothes. Liu Ruying's skirt and hair swayed in the air, attracting a lot of attention.

After locking the documents in her dorm room cabinet, she called the Witch Master. As soon as the call connected, she asked:

Is Young Master Xu here?

On the other end of the phone, Wu Zun was sitting in Eagle's Nest playing on his computer. He glanced back at Xu Haoyu, who was holding his head and looking heartbroken, and whispered:

"Didn't you have an accident?"

"Give him the phone," the girl said emotionlessly.

The Witch Master swallowed hard and said to Young Master Xu:

"Young Master, School Beauty Liu is looking for you."

Young Master Xu suddenly looked up, his eyes brimming with tears, his hair disheveled.

"Ruying is looking for me? Are you sure it's Ruying? And not someone else?"

The muscles on the Witch Lord's face twitched: "I can still recognize School Beauty Liu's voice..."

Xu Haoyu rubbed his face vigorously, a look of shock still lingering on his face:

"...Yes, it must be because of Sister Hua... Now she regrets her choice, so the first person she thought of calling me was..."

He took the phone from the sorcerer's hand, his emotions carefully cultivated, and a hint of unspeakable pride and hope lingered in his heart.

"Hey?"

“You’re a piece of trash,” Liu Ruying said.

School beauty Liu never swears. But today she did. And these were the most vicious words she could utter.

“From today onwards, every time you appear in front of me, I will have someone beat you up. I mean it.”

Young Master Xu was completely shocked and couldn't utter a single word.

"Give the phone back to the Witch Lord," Liu Ruying said on the phone.

After Xu Shao blankly handed the phone back to Wu Zun, Wu Zun cautiously asked into the phone:

"School Beauty Liu, is there anything else you need?"

"The Eagle King Key is in my hands, and I will keep it safe until the next Eagle King is chosen," Liu Ruying said confidently.

"Ah?!" The Wizard Lord was shocked. "This is a secret of the Eagle's Nest, how did you know?!"

"Don't ask me anything, I don't know either," Liu Ruying continued confidently.

Then she hung up the phone.

After doing all this, she lay down on her bed and couldn't help but cross her legs.

Looking at the ceiling, I suddenly felt...

That felt great.

Just as Liu Ruying abandoned her composure as the school beauty and acted as unrestrained as a boorish man, in the midst of her unbridled pleasure, the school beauty suddenly remembered something:

Before that, Chen Ya said that he was interested in her, but not in her body, nor in becoming her husband...

So he just wants to train me to be his subordinate?

Is that what you mean?

Thinking of this, the little feet wrapped in black stockings, which had been happily swaying in the air, suddenly stopped moving.

The girl climbed out of bed, sat up straight in her seat, found a piece of paper, took out a pen, and neatly wrote two words in the center of the white paper:

Chen Ya.

After finishing writing, the girl pressed her finger to her lips and tapped the paper with the tip of her pen.

As she tapped, ink dots appeared around the name, like sharp swords, carrying the girl's shame and indignation, piercing towards the owner of that name.

"You don't like it, right? You just want to be my boss, right? Right?..."

The girl muttered to herself, her dark resentment almost materializing, about to emanate from this small corner of the dormitory.

"Hmph, I'll get you sooner or later."

...Just as the young girl was making her resolutions, in the underground classroom of Eagle's Nest, Young Master Xu sat opposite the equally bewildered Witch Lord, his face blank.

"Didn't you say that School Beauty Liu was going to suffer a terrible fate?" Wu Zun asked. "Not only has she not suffered a terrible fate, but she has also become the acting Eagle King. We have to call her Boss, that's right, you understand?"

Young Master Xu shook his head.

He doesn't understand.

He doesn't understand anything now.

What he couldn't understand was how Liu Ruying had returned unharmed.

What about that loser Chen Ya?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take out his phone and call Liu Ruying.

After hearing the busy tone on the phone, he finally realized:

"Damn, they blocked me."

“That’s normal,” the Witch Lord said. “That’s why she didn’t call you, but called me. By the way, tell me, why did she become the Eagle King? Could it be that Pei Hu was the previous Eagle King?”

Young Master Xu did not answer the Witch Lord's question.

He didn't want to pay attention to the sorcerer.

Not only was his phone number blocked, but he also blocked all his contact methods, including WeChat and QQ.

All the messages I sent were marked with little red exclamation marks, indicating that the message could not be delivered.

Just as I was about to try Weibo again to see if it would work, my phone screen suddenly went black because I was getting a call.

The contact person is Sister Hua.

Young Master Xu quickly answered the phone and said solicitously:

"Hello? Sister Hua? Have you calmed down? How are you feeling?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was unexpectedly low.
