“What?”
“Grandma, you’re saying the Black Dragon King appeared, and it was Lu Yang?”
After listening to Old Ling Que’s words, Cheng Wan Yun was stunned. She had met Lu Yang before; he was just the useless son-in-law of the Tang family. How could he be associated with the Black Dragon King? The two were as unrelated as chalk and cheese.
“No, it must be a case of mistaken identity. Pure coincidence!”
Cheng Wan Yun secretly thought to herself.
“Yes, a young man in his mid-twenties. Here’s his photo!”
As Old Ling Que finished speaking, she directly showed a photo to Cheng Wan Yun.
The moment she saw the photo, Cheng Wan Yun’s entire body trembled. She never expected the person in the photo to actually be Lu Yang.
“Grandma, it can’t be right, can it?”
“I know this person. He’s a scoundrel. How could he possibly be the Black Dragon King?”
Cheng Wan Yun immediately said.
“Wan Yun, how can you be so rude!”
“Even if you have any prejudice against the current Black Dragon King, you must now fulfill the marriage contract that the Cheng and Lu families agreed upon years ago. Unless the Lu family breaks the engagement, our Cheng family will never be disloyal!”
“Wan Yun, this matter is of great importance. I hope you will consider it carefully!”
Old Ling Que continued to say to Cheng Wan Yun.
“Grandma, I understand!”
Cheng Wan Yun quickly agreed. Her grandmother was now extremely weak, and if she didn’t agree, she feared something might happen to her.
“Yes, my good grandchild, hurry up and go!”
A relieved smile appeared on Old Ling Que’s face.
At this time, Lu Yang had just woken up. He had been chatting with Liu Hui and the others until past two in the morning. In the end, Li Xiao Hong had sent Lu Yang to a nearby hotel to rest. He had no news regarding the assassin infiltration.
Driving his Bj100, he headed directly to Black Dragon Capital.
As the Vice President of Black Dragon Capital, Lu Yang was a dedicated and hardworking employee.
“Vice President Lu, you’re here really early today!”
As soon as he sat down in his office, Shen Yi Man walked in with a smile, holding a suit.
“Of course. With so many things happening lately, I must stay firm at the company, otherwise anyone could take advantage!”
Lu Yang said with a smile.
“Thank you for your hard work!”
“Um… I have a social engagement tonight, and I’d like to invite you to accompany me. Do you… have time?”
Shen Yi Man shyly asked Lu Yang.
“Social engagement? What kind of social engagement?”
Lu Yang asked curiously.
He knew that Shen Yi Man had been studying abroad and knew very few people in Jiangbei City. How could she suddenly have a social engagement?
“It’s a friend I’ve known for several years who flew in from the United States. He insisted on seeing me, so I had no choice but to bring you along!”
Shen Yi Man continued.
“You’re asking me to be a human shield, aren’t you?”
After hearing Shen Yi Man’s words, Lu Yang instantly understood her intention. However, Lu Yang was a bit confused. Why did these women keep asking him to be a human shield? Did he have such good luck with women?
“Oh, don’t say it so directly! I’m doing this only to continue contributing to the company. If I get pursued so early, wouldn’t that be too troublesome?”
Shen Yi Man quickly explained.
“Alright, considering your dedication to the company, I’ll help you this time. Where is the location for tonight?”
Lu Yang continued to ask.
“It’s a private restaurant. I’ll take you there tonight. You don’t need to prepare anything, just wear some nice clothes. Here, I’ve already prepared the clothes for you!”
As Shen Yi Man finished speaking, she handed the clothes in her hand to Lu Yang.
“Hurry and try them on!”
“Right now?”
Lu Yang said speechlessly.
He felt that his current outfit was quite comfortable. The suit felt too formal, and Lu Yang wasn’t very fond of it.
“Of course. I have to make you look incredibly handsome. Otherwise, if my friend mocks me, won’t that be very embarrassing?”
Shen Yi Man continued.
“Alright!”
Lu Yang thought about it and agreed. A few minutes later, Lu Yang, dressed in a sharp suit, appeared before Shen Yi Man, leaving her completely stunned.
“So handsome!”
“Indeed, clothes make the man. You have a great foundation, especially your physique. These clothes only show their true value when worn by you. I think being the Vice President of Black Dragon Capital is beneath you. You should be a model!”
“However, you still need a pair of leather shoes. I don’t know your shoe size, so you’ll have to buy them yourself!”
Shen Yi Man looked at Lu Yang and said with a smile.
“Alright, then give me half a day off this afternoon to buy shoes. I’ll wait for you at Cloud Top Villa tonight!”
Lu Yang said with a smile.
“No problem, you go ahead. I’ll deduct two hundred yuan from your salary this month for absenteeism!”
Shen Yi Man continued.
“Damn it, it’s true that it’s hard to deal with women and petty people!”
After Lu Yang finished speaking, he left the office to buy shoes.
However, he didn’t go to the mall at all; instead, he returned to Cloud Top Villa.
In the shoe cabinet of Cloud Top Villa, there were various kinds of leather shoes, in all sizes. Lu Yang picked out a pair of black leather shoes, found the right size for himself, and then put them aside, preparing to take a nap.
Just as he lay down, the doorbell rang.
“Why is that little vixen Cheng Wan Yun here again?”
Lu Yang was speechless. He walked over, intending to open the door directly and tell Cheng Wan Yun, that little vixen, that this villa was his and to stop bothering him in the future.
However, as Lu Yang looked through the surveillance camera, he saw a middle-aged man in a suit standing at the door.
“Mr.冥王 (Ming Wang), I am the secretary to the Governor of Jiang Province. On the Governor’s orders, I have come to deliver a letter to you. The letter has been placed at the door. I hope you will call the Governor back after reading it!”
“Mr. 冥王 (Ming Wang), sorry for the disturbance!”
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he bowed respectfully to the villa and then left.
“Secretary to the Governor? Delivering a letter? What does this mean?”
Lu Yang was confused. After the middle-aged man left, he took the letter back and opened it. He discovered it was an invitation from the Governor of Jiang Province, Yang Guang Di, for the Night冥王 (Night King) to come out of seclusion.
The gist of the letter was that there were assassins who had infiltrated Jiangbei City, and they hoped the Night冥王 (Night King) would come out of seclusion to help the relevant departments apprehend the assassins!
“Assassins? Could they be experts sent by the Grim Reaper Assassin Organization?”
“It seems this Grim Reaper Assassin Organization is truly fast!”
Lu Yang couldn’t help but sneer.
He didn’t intend to tell the Night冥王 (Night King) about this immediately. After all, the Night冥王 (Night King) had a solitary personality. Without Lu Yang’s instructions, he wouldn’t help the Jiang Province government deal with such matters.
However, the purpose of the Grim Reaper Assassin Organization coming to Jiangbei City this time was naturally to investigate the main reason for the destruction of their Jiangbei City stronghold, and the target would naturally point to Lu Yang. Therefore, Lu Yang was not worried. He directly took out his phone and called Xiao Arno.
“Xiao Arno, I just received news that a platinum assassin from the Grim Reaper Assassin Organization has infiltrated Jiangbei City. You and Falcon go and gather information. Find this assassin as quickly as possible!”
Lu Yang said into the phone.
