Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

While Chu Luo was treating Li Yan’s leg, the Wei family masters—the eldest, Wei Yongchang, the second, Wei Jianze, and the third, Wei Jingcheng—all came to Ocean City.

They sent people to look for Li Yan everywhere.

At ten o’clock in the evening, the masters of the Wei family followed Chu Zhengyang into the Chu family villa.

“Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, please take a seat.”

The three of them had strong auras and extraordinary statuses. When Chu Zhengyang invited them, his tone was subconsciously respectful. After the three of them sat down, he quickly got the servants to serve tea.

Big Brother Wei and Third Brother Wei sat on the sofa.

Wei Jianze walked to the window and made a call.

No one knew what the other party said, but Wei Jianze’s expression turned extremely ugly.

“You’ve been looking for him for two days, and you’re telling me that you still can’t find him? We’ve sealed off the way out of Ocean City. I don’t believe that he can disappear into thin air in Ocean City!

“Search! Continue searching. Even if you have to turn the entire Ocean City upside down, you must find him.”

He hung up the phone in exasperation.

Wei Jingcheng clenched his fists and punched the sofa. He said fiercely, “We can’t let him leave Ocean City. I heard that he didn’t bring many people with him this time. If he returns to the capital, our Wei family will be in a passive position…

“Second Brother, get your men to work harder. I don’t believe that Li Yan can vanish into thin air in Ocean City.”

Wei Jianze nodded and looked at Wei Yongchang. “Big Brother, what should we do next?”

The others looked at him as well.

Wei Yongchang contemplated for a while then said, “Let’s send Guangnian and Tingting to the capital first. Since Guangnian’s leg can only be amputated, we’ll find the best prosthetic limb for him. As for Tingting, let Master take a look at her when we get there.”

The Wei family was a prestigious family, and they knew Chu Ting’s condition better than anyone else. It was obvious that Chu Ting wasn’t sick. If they wanted to treat her, they would have to find an expert in that area.

Everyone agreed with Wei Yongchang.

Chu Zhiyang finally had a chance to speak. He said, “Then I’ll ask Xiao Wei to bring Tingting back to pack her luggage.”

Wei Jingcheng had always felt that this brother-in-law of his was a nouveau riche who had lucked out, so he always spoke to him in a slightly arrogant tone.

“What’s there to pack? Tingting’s mood is so unstable. We told her to leave immediately after she’s done with the IV drip at the hospital. Is there anything she needs that the Wei residence doesn’t have?”

“Yes, yes, yes.” Although Chu Zhiyang was unhappy with Wei Jingcheng’s attitude towards him, he had to rely on the Wei family and could only agree obediently.

After that, they talked about something else.

“Since Li Yan came to Ocean City for that jade pendant, it proves that it’s real. We must get the jade pendant before others do anything. Brother-in-law, you have to know what the use of that jade pendant is.”

Chu Zhiyang felt a chill down his spine when he heard this. He tried to ask, “Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, do you want to…”

“That’s right! Eighteen years ago, Brother-in-law, you got rich after using a little bit of that stuff inside. If we can extract all the wealth inside, no one would be able to compare to the chips we have.”

“But… but… but there’s a curse in that tomb. Those who enter will never be able to come out again.”

“Can’t come out? If that’s the case, how did you manage to obtain that handful of treasures?”

“My brother gave his life…”

“Alright, stop talking!” Wei Jianze interrupted him. “I know that your younger brother told you many things about the Imperial Mausoleum. When the time comes, after we get our hands on that piece of jade, you just have to lead the way.”

Chu Zhiyang’s body went limp and his face turned pale from fright.

He suddenly shook his head. “Can’t go… We won’t be able to return if we go!”

Wei Jingcheng narrowed his eyes. “Are you cursing us?”

“No, no, I—”

“That’s it. You can get ready now.”

Wei Yongchang had made his decision. He stood up and walked towards the bedroom.

Wei Jianze and Wei Jingcheng followed.

Once no one else was in the living room, Chu Zhiyang covered his face with both hands. His whole body was covered in pain and fear.

He sat like that for a long time, until the clock in the living room chimed with the sound of midnight. Then, as if he had been woken up, he suddenly sat up straight.

At this moment, his mind inexplicably recalled the call that Chu Luo’s form teacher had given him today. He took out his phone and dialed a number.

He didn’t care if he disturbed the other party. Once the other party picked up the call, he immediately said:

“What was going on with Luoluo today?… It’s good that she’s fine. Tomorrow, I’ll transfer some living expenses to her… I’ll transfer 5… 20,000 yuan from my personal account. You don’t have to tell Madam about this.”

With that, he hung up and sat for a while before returning to his bedroom to rest.

…

The next morning, when Chu Luo opened the bedroom door, she saw that Li Yan was already sitting on the sofa, typing furiously on his keyboard.

If he hadn’t changed his clothes, she would have thought that he didn’t sleep at all last night.

She thought for a moment and decided to memorize English words while jogging. She then walked towards the door.

However, Li Yan’s indifferent voice came from behind her. “Do your memorization here.”

Chu Luo stopped in surprise and turned to look at him.

Li Yan didn’t look up. His voice was cold as usual. “Many of your pronunciations aren’t standard. It will pollute other people’s ears outside.”

“…”

Chu Luo puffed up her cheeks and couldn’t hold it in anymore. She turned around and walked up to him, glaring at him with her big eyes. She was considering whether to beat him up or throw him out.

Li Yan finally stopped what he was doing and lifted his dark eyes to look at her.

Chu Luo’s hair was tied up because she was going for a run. Her small oval face was paired with a high ponytail, and her big eyes were sparkling because of her anger. Even tightly pursed, the beauty of her lips that rivaled flower petals wasn’t concealed.

She was charming and full of energy.

Li Yan looked at her and suddenly narrowed his eyes. He lowered his voice and said, “Keep your thoughts to yourself. I can teach you English pronunciation.”

Chu Luo was still glaring at him. She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.

Li Yan watched her expression and continued, “You’d better think it through before you act. If I get injured, I might not be able to leave. Then you’ll still have to see me tomorrow.”

Chu Luo suddenly loosened her fist and nodded in agreement. “You’re right. If I want to beat you up, I have to at least wait until your leg has recovered.”

She didn’t want to see this cold face again tomorrow.

With that, she sat down on the sofa next to Li Yan and started reading.

After reading for a while, she saw that there was no response beside her. She tilted her head and looked at him grumpily. “Didn’t you want to teach me English pronunciation?”

The person beside her frowned and pointed at a few spots on her book. “These pronunciations aren’t accurate.”

Then, he repeated the words.

Chu Luo listened to his English pronunciation and thought:?‘Although this person is a little wicked, he speaks English quite well.’

The next half-hour passed quickly with one teaching and one learning.

At this time, Li Yan stopped and said, “You can go run now.”

Chu Luo nodded at him, then reluctantly put away her book and walked out of the door.

Just as Chu Luo left, Qin Ming walked in and reported to him.

“Master, those people have been lured to another place to be dealt with.

“A few more batches of people came to Ocean City. Their goal is that jade pendant.

“The Wei family has set up an inescapable net in Ocean City to capture you.”

“Hmph.” Li Yan’s expression was cold. He pulled over his laptop and typed on the keyboard for a while before saying, “Release the news that I’ll be visiting Master Huiqing at Hanqing Temple tomorrow morning.”

“Yes.”
