Chapter 794: Did You Think That I Was Blind?
Go back home?
Leng Zhiyuan did not decline, and she did not want to stay here anyway. “Okay.” She nodded her head.
“Mr. Ye, we will make a move.” Zhou Yao had a smile on his face as he looked at Ye Ziyi.
Both men’s gazes collided with one another. Ye Ziyu behaved just like usual, and he was very warm as he said, “Mr. Zhou, Zhi Yuan, goodbye.”
“Goodbye…”
Leng Zhiyuan had yet to finish her words when Zhou Yao cupped her slim shoulders directly and turned around.
She could not help but turn her head back to glance at him. Zhou Yao did not look at her. He opened the door of the front passenger seat and allowed her to go inside first, then he turned around and went back into the driver’s seat, and the luxury car cruised off into the distance.
…
Both of them returned back to the Zhou home, and Zhou Yao parted his long legs and went upstairs first. Leng Zhiyuan had a look at the large empty living room and asked the helpers, “Did Old Master, Master, and Madam not come back yet?”
“No, Young Mistress, Old Master and the rest are all still in the graveyard. Just now Young Master turned back to look for you, and when he realized that you were gone, he immediately drove off to look for you.”
“I got it.” Leng Zhiyuan went upstairs.
She was gone, and he went off to search for her?
No wonder he was so quick.
Did he also care about her a little other than teasing her to relieve his boredom?
Or maybe, he was afraid that she would leave suddenly?
Thinking about it this way, Leng Zhiyuan’s heart started to waver again. She opened the door and walked inside, Zhou Yao removed the cotton shirt that he was wearing, and he stood on the balcony in a green v-neck sweater. He was facing her with his back and placed both hands on his hips.
“What did you want to say…to me?” She broke the silence and was the first one to speak.
“What is the relationship between you and Leng Ziyi?” The man spat out a sentence directly.
“What?” Leng Zhiyuan did not react for a moment, and what he wanted to say to her was this? Asking her who Ye Ziyi was?
Ye Ziyi?
She suddenly recalled that on the street just now, she totally did not introduce them to one another. How did he know who Leng Ziyi was?
Leng Zhiyuan’s face was all cold, and she snorted directly as she said, “Major General Zhou, you investigated me?”
Zhou Yao turned around slowly, and he had a mocking smile as he cruelly said, “Mrs. Zhou, if you did not do anything bad, you should have a clear conscience. Why are you feeling guilty right now?”
“Feeling guilty? Major General Zhou, when did you start beating around the bush? What do you want to say exactly?”
“Would you not know what I want to say? Grandmother’s death anniversary had not ended, and you ran out to go on a date with another man. You were on the main road and were already hugging and embracing one another. If I did not appear then, were the both of you going to have a meal together? After eating a meal, were the both of you planning to go to a hotel after that?”
“Zhou Yao!” Leng Zhiyuan had a frown on her face as she interrupted him. She took a deep breath of air before she said, “If you want to insult me, then let me tell you, that’s enough! I will go back to Hong Kong now.”
She turned around and left.
She’d just placed her small hand on the door handle when her slim wrist was grasped in the man’s hand. She turned around and broke away, but her slim shoulders were held down by the man, and he turned her around and pushed her against the wall.
The fire in her heart erupted. “What do you want to do?” she asked directly.
“Ye Ziyi is the style that you like?” He had a sinister expression on his face as he stared at her, as if she’d said something wrong. He was going to strangle her.
“Yeah, I just like men like Ye Ziyi. He is gentle, gentlemanly, elegant, clean, not rough and rude like someone who would just act as if he is covered head to toe in gunpowder for no good reason. Zhou Yao, you are so dirty…”
She had yet to complete her words when Bang! Zhou Yao hit the wall that was by the side of her cheek with his fist.
Some specks of powder fell down, and a part of the wall caved in.
Leng Zhiyuan looked at him, and she saw that all of the green veins on his forehead were popping. The blood was coursing through his veins swiftly, and he raised his eyebrows. He opened his eyes. His gaze was ice cold with a self mocking expression in them as he laughed and said, “Okay, Leng Zhiyuan, it seems that I was blind. Later, I will ask someone to bring you over to the airport, and you can go back to your Hong Kong then.”
He took his fist back, opened the door, and walked out.
The room became completely silent, and Leng Zhiyuan placed both hands on the wall as she supported herself. She still felt uncomfortable inside her heart, and she tilted her head back against the wall before she slowly closed her eyes.
…
Zhou Yao sent someone to bring her over to the airport. Leng Zhiyuan did not bid farewell to anyone, and she took her passport and left overnight. She did not want to stay there a single moment longer.
The large hall in the airport had a broadcast announcing that the flight to Hong Kong had started to board. She stood on the spot as she had a look behind her. T City, she was not going to come back anymore.
She turned around and walked, and suddenly, she heard a ringtone. She received a call.
She took her phone out to have a look. It was a call from Leng Mu.
She picked it up and said, “Hello, Dad…”
“Hello, Zhiyuan, Dad has a mission for you to handle. The news of your older brother renouncing his engagement has spread all over Hong Kong by now. I have to stay here to handle the aftermath. Your older brother has locked down the entire city to look for that woman, and he seems to be getting some hints. I do not know where he flew off to, but this mission is urgent, and I can only hand it over to you now.”
“Okay, Dad, you don’t have to worry. Where am I going off to this time?”
“Yunnan. There is already a car on its way to pick you up.”
…
She arrived at Yunnan the next afternoon. The subordinate opened the door, and Leng Zhiyuan walked out.
“Young Miss, you are here already?” Leng Hao’s trusted aide, Ah Chen, welcomed her.
“Yeah.” Leng Zhiyuan nodded her head and lifted her heels up to go over to the base camp out front.
“This village is full of locals. It is very tiny, and it is probably made up of ten families. The government bought this place to use as our rear camp. Young Miss, the son-in-law is already inside.”
Leng Zhiyuan stepped in the tent with one foot and heard Ah Chen say son-in-law. She froze for a moment before she looked inside. The long wooden table had one person seated there just as she expected; it was Zhou Yao.
Zhou Yao leaned back against the wooden chair and placed both his hands on his waist. His posture was extremely nonchalant, and his long legs that could not be ignored were carelessly stretched forward. Upon sensing her gaze, he slightly raised his eyelids and looked at her.
His gaze did not have any emotion, and his eyes were extremely cold and alien. His glance was very quick. He brushed past her face quickly before he lowered his thick eyelashes.
“Miss Leng, we welcome you here. I am the director of Yunnan Security force, Wang Yi, and this special forces soldier is Major General Zhou Yao. I hope that we will have a good time working with one another.”
“Director Wang, how are you?” Leng Zhiyuan nodded her head and lifted her heels up to have a seat by the side of the wooden table, opposite Zhou Yao.
Ah Chen placed a stack of documents before Leng Zhiyuan, and Director Wang said, “Miss Leng, we’ve found an urgent viral disease spreading in the country, and in three short days, it has already spread to almost fifty people. We have quickly started investigations, and we found out that someone planted a special flower in this village. We have found some traces of Scorpion…”
Scorpion?
She did not expect this mission to involve Scorpion. Leng Zhiyuan lifted her gaze to look at Zhou Yao, who was seated opposite her.
Zhou Yao also raised his gaze at this moment, and he also looked at her.
Both of them thought about the time at the back of the mountain. He’d said that he could not miss a single one, and her dazzling smile…
Leng Zhiyuan quickly averted her gaze.
“Miss Leng, Scorpion has already been classified by us as an extreme terrorist, and this time, we’ve noticed his footprints. We have to capture him completely. This kind of flower is very important to Scorpion, and he would definitely send someone to snatch it. We should protect this piece of flower and just wait for him to come over to strike.”
