Yun Rong paused and felt her back turn a bit cold. She turned her head around to take a look and caught sight of Lu He Nian standing a few metres away from her. Both of his hands were inside his pants" pocket and he was pursing his lips. A faint anger appeared in his indifferent and handsome face.
She didn"t know why, but Yun Rong felt a little guilty. She subconsciously smiled and called out: "Di.. Director, you are also here ah? Are you picking me up for work?"
Work, work, her brain was only filled with work! Lu He Nian felt like laughing from anger. However, seeing her soft smile, once again he couldn"t let his anger out. He pushed the gla.s.ses on his nose and said coldly: "Don"t you know just now…" how much danger you were in? So many pa.s.sers-by yet you, this little lady, went and showed off.
But before he finished his sentence, he saw Yun Rong"s smile suddenly disappearing and her whole person rushed towards him.
"Go away!" Yun Rong shouted loudly. Her face, which was facing Lu He Nian, showed loathing. Tobe more accurate, it was directed to the thing behind him.
Behind Lu He Nian stood the man that was covered in blood and standing in the middle of the road. He opened the corner of his mouth and exposed a cruel and bloodthirsty sneer. Opening his mouth wider, fangs filled his whole mouth. He roared loudly: "Meddling with my things, this man with inauspicious aura is a good replacement. Just let him be a scapegoat for me!"
Lu He Nian subconsciously walked two steps but felt something cold on his back, as if something had grabbed his shoulder. It was obviously the middle of summer, yet the entire person felt as if he had been dropped into an ice cave and was frozen right where he was standing, unable to move.
His expression changed. His heart already understood that he was once again trapped by a dirty thing1. He spoke in a low voice: "Don"t come over!" There was the jade pendant given by Master Zhang on his body, so the typical average ghosts would not be able to do anything to him.
But Yun Rong was simply not paying attention.
Yun Rong saw that the ghost"s hand had already grabbed Lu He Nian"s shoulder, and her eyes sunk. Her heart was really unhappy. Wanting to do things in her presence, she could still ignore. But still wanting to mess with her boss, that was simply asking for trouble. Whether it was possible for her to get Dan Qiu Mountain back totally depended on this boss!
"Netherworld ghost, you overestimate your abilities!" Lu He Nian heard Yun Rong"s low shout. In one move she grabbed his wrist, pulling him aside, while her other hand slapped at the air. He even heard a sharp sound.
"Originally, seeing how you had met a terrible death I didn"t want to do anything to you. Still wanting to do something to my boss, do you have any eyesight as a malicious ghost?" Yun Rong avoided looking at the ghost that was stiff from fright2 after her slap, and she muttered in a low voice.
Lu He Nian could already move his hands and legs. However, looking at the small and white-as-jade hand that was holding his wrist, as well as smelling the strong flower fragrance that a.s.saulted his nose, he lowered his sight. He didn"t know why but he didn"t want to move.
After Yun Rong finished muttering, she turned her body aside and remembered that Lu He Nian that was standing behind her. She then patted the remaining yin aura on his shoulder in pa.s.sing while speaking: "It"s all right now. When you go home, take a hot shower and you will be okay."
Lu He Nian felt the pit of his stomach grow warm. He softly produced an en sound of agreement. Just as he was about to speak, Zhang Chong Ming"s voice was heard from the side.
With an accident having almost occurred, the surroundings were filled with a circle of curious onlookers. This was Hua country, people gathered where there was excitement. Moreover, it was the peak morning hour and there were many cars. Zhang Chong Ming broke through the surrounding onlookers with great difficulty. While gasping for breath, he said: "Director, is Miss Yun Rong okay? Do you need to go to….." hospital.
Before he was done speaking, he raised his head and saw the director and Miss Yun standing very close together. One of Miss Yun"s hands was holding the Director"s wrist while the other hand was resting on the Director"s shoulder. From Zhang Chong Ming"s viewpoint, the two people seemed like they were hugging each other. In addition, it was still Yun Rong who seemed to be taking the initiative to hug.
Zhang Chong Ming was stunned and his words were stuck in his throat, no longer able to say anything. When he came out of his daze, it was in time to see Lu He Nian gloomily looking at him.
He subconsciously retreated two steps back, his brain shouting: I"m finished, I"m finished. He saw that the director did not reproach him out of courtesy. Other people could look at him but he could not. Because others didn"t know the people involved, but he did!
"I"m okay. Secretary Zhang, you are here too ah." Hearing his voice, Yun Rong released Lu He Nian"s hand and turned her body around to greet.
Lu He Nian looked at his now empty wrist and his gaze trembled. A trace of disappointment floated in his heart.
"Yes ah, how are you Miss Yun." Zhang Chong Ming greeted her solemnly. Although the director didn"t blame him out of courtesy, from his eyes it was confirmed, he was a person who had just committed an offense.
"Quickly, say thanks to jiejie!" At the side, the mother and child who got the fright earlier finally came out from their daze. The mother, w.a.n.g Chun Mei, pulled her son to Yun Rong"s front. Pressing her hand on the boy"s head, they expressed their thanks sincerely.
Yuan Jia Nan, the little boy, opened his mouth to expose incomplete rows of teeth. Loud and clear, he earnestly said: "Thank you, jiejie!"
w.a.n.g Chun Mei saw that her son was done speaking and she bent her waist halfway, sincerely saying: "Young lady, you have my deepest grat.i.tude. It"s all thanks to you. If you weren"t here, my son would not have his life anymore. You are my son"s benefactor. Our family, for a lifetime, will remember this favor." She wasn"t just saying this lightly. A few months ago her husband pa.s.sed away from cancer, leaving only her and her son to depend on each other. If this son was no longer here, then what was the point of her striving hard to make money ah, she might as well die!
Zhang Chong Ming, you are always so inopportune!
And, superheroes don"t rest! Just how many people has Yun Rong saved (and punished) in the span of 2 days? It"s kinda weird that we are already at one third of the novel (omg guys we"re already at one third!) but in the story timeline it"s just been three days since Yun Rong was woken up by the excavators.
1: This appeared in one of the first chapters, but ‘dirty" or ‘unclean" is used to refer being haunted or possessed by ghosts, might be a place or a person. So here LHN"s meaning is that he has got caught by a ghost.
2: 魂飞魄散 (hún fēi pò sàn), lit. the soul flies away and scatters, idiom meaning to be scared out of one"s mind, terror-stricken.
