Chapter 1324 is a bit old.
Chapter 1324 is a bit old.
Lu Shenxing suddenly remembered that many years ago, before the Dragon King War of the Six Provinces of Shenwu began, someone had mentioned to the Supervisory Council that the regimes of some small countries seemed to be gradually being taken over and controlled.
At the time, they continued their investigation but couldn't find out who in the Six Provinces of Shenwu was responsible.
In retrospect, it was Ming Jinyan.
Lu Shenxing looked into the eyes of the number one leader: "I wonder if you'd be interested in cooperating? All the small states under Ming Jinyan's control are available..."
The leader's eyes lit up.
No one would refuse such a good thing as expanding territory.
Most importantly, with Lu Shenxing and Song Mingyi around, even illegal things can become legal.
The leader's smile deepened: "Alright, I will send someone to discuss this matter with you in detail later."
Lu Shenxing smiled slightly, and the cooperation between the two was thus settled.
Song Mingyi: "During this period, we will strengthen our supervision of Ming Jinyan's people. He is an extreme person and quite ruthless, but we can only guarantee his safety in Haicheng."
Leader No. 1: "Okay, you've worked hard. Just bear with it for a few days."
Since that's been said, we definitely have to give face to the number one leader.
Song Mingyi and Lu Shenxing exchanged a glance.
The top leader had other matters to attend to and left first, and the hotel was completely surrounded by the military and armed police.
It appears to be protecting Ming Jinyan, but in reality, it's also surveillance.
At this moment, Lu Mingzhu walked in and saw Song Mingyi and Lu Shenxing's serious expressions, and couldn't help but speak.
"Brother, sister-in-law..."
Lu Mingzhu said, "You don't need to worry about me, I will take good care of myself."
Most importantly, after realizing Ming Jinyan's unusual behavior, Lu Mingzhu wanted to... find out more.
If Ming Jinyan is the mastermind behind it all, then what role did she play?
Who was Hou Chen, the man she dated back then? Is he dead?
A variety of questions weighed on Lu Mingzhu's mind.
Lu Shenxing gave Lu Mingzhu a deep look: "You won't see him for a few days. Leave this matter to your brother. Try not to be alone with him."
Lu Mingzhu smiled and said, "Okay."
It's been so long since I felt this way, being protected by my family.
Song Mingyi asked, "What's the relationship between you and He Lingchuan...?"
Lu Mingzhu blushed, which was rare for her, mainly because she had just spoken ill of He Lingchuan to Song Mingyi a moment ago, and now the two of them were involved again.
Lu Mingzhu: "Sister-in-law, I misunderstood him about what I told you before... so I apologized to him."
"However, I'm really not his girlfriend, we're not dating!"
This point still needs to be clarified.
As for the idea of a three-day girlfriend, Lu Mingzhu couldn't bring herself to say such childish things.
How embarrassing!
Song Mingyi understood and didn't press further: "We'll have people secretly protecting you these next few days. Your brother will handle the arrangements. It won't take long, so please bear with us for now."
Lu Mingzhu laughed: "This is nothing to be ashamed of!"
"Brother and sister-in-law, Aunt Zhang has already brought my daily necessities over, so I'll stay here for now."
Song Mingyi: "Okay."
For convenience, these accompanying persons usually share a hotel room.
Lu Mingzhu was no exception.
News of the foreign prince's arrival in Haicheng for sightseeing spread like wildfire that very day.
Generally, those who receive foreign heads of state are based in the capital.
This time, however, it was in Haicheng.
In an instant, the entire city of Haicheng was filled with enthusiastic cheers, and everyone felt a sense of pride.
Even many buildings in Haicheng were decorated with the flags of both countries as a sign of welcome.
Ming Jinyan booked dinner at a private restaurant halfway up the mountain.
This is the place where he and Mingzhu once ate together.
However, he had forgotten that so much time had passed, whether it was he who went or Mingqi who went in his place.
A little annoying.
Ming Jinyan caught a glimpse of Ming Qi's figure to the side, and a surge of anger welled up inside him for no reason.
His voice was icy: "You don't need to go today."
Ming Jinyan adjusted his tie in front of the full-length mirror.
Mingqi paused slightly as he packed his things, then nodded and said, "Yes."
Ming Jin said, "You need to find a way to stall that man and prevent him from ruining my relationship with Mingzhu, understand?"
Mingqi: "...Okay."
He booked the restaurant.
It was a promise I made when I was dating Lu Mingzhu back then, and it's the same promise I made when I saw Lu Mingzhu again this time.
How ridiculous, in the end he could only remain an invisible man.
Mingqi concealed the turmoil in his eyes, remaining calm and composed.
After tidying up the last strand of hair, Ming Jinyan calmly walked out of the room and politely and gentlemanly knocked on Lu Mingzhu's door.
inside the room.
Lu Mingzhu sat there looking at He Lingchuan speechlessly: "What are you protecting? I could knock you down with one punch. Are you sure it's not me protecting you?"
He Lingchuan rolled his eyes: "I've seen ungrateful people, but I've never seen anyone as ungrateful as you. No matter what, they have two men. If they really lay a hand on you, it will be troublesome."
Lu Mingzhu: "Thank you so much! By the way, could you please stop stealing the potato chips my daughter prepared for me? It's so tasteless to be greedy!"
He Lingchuan: "You owe me. What's wrong with eating some of your potato chips? Niannian even called me Daddy before."
Lu Mingzhu: "..."
nerve.
It's hard to explain to someone with this kind of childish prince syndrome.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Lu Mingzhu: "Go open the door."
He Lingchuan: "Am I your little brother?"
Lu Mingzhu: "Since you're already here, do you want to be the boss instead of the underling?"
He Lingchuan: "..."
Forget it, he's magnanimous, he won't hold it against Lu Mingzhu!
He Lingchuan opened the door with a speechless expression.
Ming Jinyan fluently recited his carefully rehearsed words: "Miss Mingzhu, I wonder if I have the honor of inviting you..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw He Lingchuan's face, which had a half-smile on it.
He Lingchuan leaned against the door frame with a cheeky grin, watching Ming Jinyan's face fall instantly, and a genuinely gentle smile appeared on his face.
"What's wrong? You seem unhappy to see me?"
Ming Jinyan's face was frighteningly cold.
That bastard has appeared in Mingzhu's room again.
Ming Jinyan said coldly, "I invited Mingzhu, not you. Get out of the way."
He Lingchuan scoffed, "Whether Mingzhu agrees or not is still uncertain."
He poked his head in and called out, "Lu Mingzhu, someone's looking for you."
Lu Mingzhu slowly walked out, peeked out, and saw that old man Ming Jinyan was wearing floral shorts and pretending to be something he wasn't.
To be fair, Jin Yan doesn't look old at all; in fact, he could even be considered handsome.
However, because she had recently been on vacation on an island, her skin tone had darkened by a shade, and coupled with the ever-present gentle and refined smile on her face, she looked quite old for someone as youthful as Lu Mingzhu.
Lu Mingzhu doesn't eat this.
Just like Niannian said, Lu Mingzhu likes He Lingchuan's style of appearance, he has to be handsome and manly, with abs and an amazing physique.
This way it feels good to sleep on.
