Chapter 735 [Under the Brocade 31]
Youyou, Lu Yi and another person carefully followed the mark left by Youyou and moved forward slowly. The air was filled with an old and decayed smell, and the road under their feet was bumpy and uneven. The three of them could only rely on the weak light of the flashlight to grope their way forward. Finally, they came to a wooden house that looked abandoned for a long time.
The wooden house looked dilapidated, with peeling walls and several large holes in the roof. However, when they opened the door, they were pleasantly surprised to find that the 100,000 taels of money for river repairs were safely placed inside the house.
At this moment, Lu Yi suddenly had an ominous premonition. Sure enough, before he could react, he heard several sounds of breaking through the air above his head, and Zhai Lanye led several well-trained assassins to descend from the sky and surrounded the two of them in an instant. In an instant, the flashes of swords and shadows flashed, and a fierce fight began.
When the two sides were fighting fiercely, Yan Shifan's men suddenly appeared like ghosts. These people were all agile and skilled in martial arts. In the blink of an eye, they subdued Zhai Lanye and his men. Then, they quickly found the river repair money and firmly controlled the situation.
Yan Shifan came forward with a smug look on his face, sneering, and said, "It took me a long time to track down this sum of money! I didn't expect to find it here today."
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he stood up at this moment just to grab the credit. After all, this should have belonged to the Ministry of Industry.
Yan Shifan looked at Zhai Lanye with great interest and said, "I heard that this girl was dead, but now she is back from the dead. This makes me quite curious. I will take her back and interrogate her carefully."
After saying this, without waiting for Lu Yi's response, he signaled his men to take Zhai Lanye away.
Faced with this situation, although Lu Yi was unwilling, he also knew that the situation was stronger than the person, so he had no choice but to nod and agree.
Yuan Jinxia, who had been watching the game anxiously on the side, became even more anxious when she saw this situation.
Yan Shifan's eyes suddenly fell on Yuan Jinxia who was standing beside Lu Yi. He raised an evil smile and said, "This girl is very pretty and I like her very much. Why don't you stay by my side and be my attendant?"
Hearing this, Yuan Jinxia's face turned pale and she couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Upon seeing this, Youyou stepped forward and stood in front of Yuan Jinxia, saying righteously: "Jinxia is my good friend, Zhai Lanye, you can take her away, but it is impossible for you to touch a hair on Jinxia!"
Seeing this, Yan Shifan knew that it would be futile to continue pestering him, so he could only shake his head helplessly and sighed, "Since he is your friend, let's just leave it at that. I wonder if Lu Jingli is willing to come to my boat for a small gathering?"
After hearing this, Lu Yi thought for a moment, then raised the corners of his mouth slightly and responded readily, "Okay!" In fact, he was also secretly thinking in his heart, he wanted to see what Yan Shifan was planning.
So, a group of people came to the boat.
At this time, the boat had already prepared delicious food and wine. Yan Shifan was all smiles and toasted Lu Yi frequently. He seemed to be warm and hospitable, but in fact he had an ulterior motive and wanted to get Lu Yi drunk. Lu Yi knew it very well, but he did not point it out and just dealt with it calmly.
After three rounds of drinking, Lu Yi was already a little tipsy. At this time, a maid came forward and said in a delicate voice: "Master Lu, please follow me to the guest room to rest for a while." After that, she moved lightly and led the way. Although Lu Yi was suspicious, he still followed her.
After entering the guest room, Lu Yi felt dizzy and sat down on the bed with a headache. In a trance, he seemed to hear a slight humming sound. After calming down, he looked in the direction of the sound and reached out to slowly pull the quilt open.
It would be fine if he didn't look at it, but once he did, Lu Yi was stunned. It turned out that the person lying in the quilt was none other than Yuan Jinxia, who had been washed by Yan Shifan and taken the muscle softening powder!
Lu Yi was stunned for a moment, his face full of shock. He subconsciously quickly covered Jin Xia with the quilt, as if he was afraid of seeing something he shouldn't see. Then, he quickly turned his head away and looked away, not daring to look at Jin Xia again.
On the other side, Youyou wanted to follow Lu Yi to the guest room, but was stopped by Yan Shifan. Yan Shifan looked at Youyou with a half-smile and said, "Youyou, are you really attracted to Lu Yi? In my opinion, he is just a pretty boy with a sullen face all day long. What's so charming about him?"
"I just like him! He doesn't treat me the way you think! Brother, could you please stop interfering in my affairs?" Youyou looked at her brother Yan Shifan stubbornly and shouted.
Yan Shifan frowned and responded sternly: "You are my biological sister. If I don't take care of you, who will? Do I have to watch you jump into the fire pit?"
Youyou stamped her feet and explained anxiously, "Brother, can't you change your opinion of Lu Yi? After all, he is your sister and I really like him. He will also be your future brother-in-law. Why do you always target him?"
Yan Shifan snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "I am doing this for your own good. From ancient times to the present, how many men have not cheated? Don't be so naive and think that Lu Yi is really good to you. In fact, he is just attracted by our family's power and status."
Youyou was so angry that her eyes turned red. She argued, "Brother, if you say that, it only shows that you don't understand Lu Yi at all! He is definitely not that kind of person!"
Yan Shifan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile, and said provocatively: "In this case, let's make a bet to see if Lu Yi will fall in love with another woman."
Youyou widened her eyes and asked suspiciously, "What do you mean by that? Have you done something to Lu Yi behind my back? What on earth did you do?"
"If I'm not mistaken, your good friend must have been hanging out with Lu Yi!" Yan Shifan narrowed his eyes, with a half-smile on his lips, and said slowly.
Hearing this, Youyou suddenly widened her eyes, looked at her brother in disbelief, and shouted angrily: "Brother, if you still have me as your sister in your heart and still want to continue to be my brother, then don't touch Lu Yi! Otherwise, I will definitely fight you to the death! You should know that I never tell lies. If you dare to treat him like this again in the future, from now on, you will no longer be my brother!"
After saying this, Youyou turned around and left without looking back, heading straight for the cabin. She came to the cabin door and waved to the people guarding the door, signaling them to leave. Seeing that it was Miss Youyou who gave the order, those people did not dare to be negligent and left one after another.
Youyou stretched out her hand and gently pushed open the door, only to see Lu Yi standing inside the room with an anxious look on his face. Seeing that it was Youyou, he immediately rushed over like a frightened rabbit, hugged Youyou tightly, and said with a hint of tears in his voice: "Youyou, I swear to God, I really didn't do anything! I am still innocent, you must not abandon me!"
Youyou sighed helplessly, reached out her hand and gently patted Lu Yi on the back, and said softly, "Okay, okay, I know everything. I have helped you vent your anger, so don't feel wronged anymore."
Lu Yi raised his head, his eyes slightly red, and said indignantly: "Youyou, your brother clearly framed me on purpose!"
Youyou looked at Lu Yi distressedly and comforted him again, "Don't worry, he will never dare to do this to you again."
