The Beautiful CEO’s Dragon Blood Bodyguard
Chapter 952 - 0952: A Hefty Reward

Chapter 952: Chapter 0952: A Hefty Reward

Wang Xiaoya’s IQ came online as she excitedly said to Long Fei, "I know this one, that evil dragon turned into a ghost, right? It haunted Emperor Li Shimin for a long time. Later on, two great generals were even made into door gods to protect him."

Long Fei laughed and said, "Those two are Qin Shubao and Yuchi Gong. You’re really uneducated."

Wang Xiaoya rolled her eyes and retorted, "Hey, is it appropriate for a high school student to mock a college student?"

"Aren’t you from a vocational high school? Since when did you become a college student?"

Long Fei burst into laughter.

Wang Xiaoya explained to him, "Vocational high school is the same as college, okay. They’re the same level of diploma."

"I was wrong, okay?"

Long Fei laughed and, after taking her to the town, it was already getting dark.

They happened to arrive on the day of the town’s gathering. Even though it was nearly night, the streets were still bustling with people.

The two of them found a deserted spot and put the car into the Storage Ring.

Liu Ruyan was staying in a small hostel on the street. Long Fei couldn’t use his spiritual power to pinpoint her, so he had to resort to the unreliable GPS, asking from one place to another.

Wang Xiaoya could use her spiritual power, but she did not know Liu Ruyan.

There wasn’t much to do in this place, but there were quite a few off-road vehicles parked around.

The two-story guesthouses were surprisingly all fully occupied.

Long Fei felt that something must have happened in the past two days; otherwise, it wouldn’t attract so many outsiders.

After making some phone calls, Long Fei finally found Liu Ruyan in a guesthouse behind the street.

Holding her phone, she stared at Long Fei, her nose tingling, and she rushed into his arms for a hug.

Wang Xiaoya stood behind, eyes widened in surprise, and deliberately raised her voice to ask, "You are Sister Ruyan, aren’t you?"

Liu Ruyan was startled, quickly got out of Long Fei’s embrace, and only then noticed Wang Xiaoya behind him.

She awkwardly brushed her bangs aside and glanced at Long Fei.

Long Fei introduced her and Wang Xiaoya to each other.

Liu Ruyan immediately called out "Sister," thinking at first that Long Fei had come for her alone.

Little did she know that he had brought such a beautiful woman with him.

Liu Ruyan had thought Lin Yingying was beautiful enough when she first met her.

But to her surprise, Wang Xiaoya was no less stunning than Lin Yingying.

The two had completely different auras: Lin Yingying was noble and majestic, while Wang Xiaoya exuded a gentle and elegant vibe.

"Have you two had dinner yet? There’s a really good mutton stew restaurant up ahead. Shall we go eat together?"

Liu Ruyan called the two over, easing the awkwardness a bit.

Long Fei and Wang Xiaoya exchanged a smile and followed her to the main street.

The speciality of Guanzhong is indeed mutton stew; without that distinctive mutton smell, it just wouldn’t be Guanzhong.

The three of them sat down in the restaurant, and Liu Ruyan went to order.

Three bowls of mutton stew, accompanied by two plates of pickled Chinese cabbage made by the restaurant.

Liu Ruyan sat down, looked a bit sheepishly at Wang Xiaoya and asked, "Sister Little Ya, you’re not put off by the smell of mutton, are you?"

"Not at all!"

Wang Xiaoya smiled and shook her head.

"That’s good!"

Liu Ruyan breathed a sigh of relief and explained, "Sister Little Ya, please don’t get the wrong idea about me hugging Brother Long just now. I’m his sister, there’s nothing else to it."

Wang Xiaoya smiled and said, "No need to explain, I understand. It seems everyone is Brother Long’s little sister these days, I’ve gotten used to it."

Liuu Ruyan blushed, bowed her head, and fidgeted with her fingers under the table.

Long Fei gave a dry chuckle, quickly changing the subject. With a curious tone, he asked, "What’s been going on around here? On my way here, I saw quite a few out-of-towners?"

Liuu Ruyan then lifted her head to reply, "A few days ago, there was heavy rain here. A landslide occurred on one of the mountains, and a lot of stuff was washed into the Jing River. There were porcelain pieces, coins, and lots of wooden items. The villagers nearby have been salvaging in the river, attracting a bunch of antique dealers."

"I see."

Long Fei nodded and then inquired, "How’s the search for your father going?"

Liuu Ruyan shook her head, looking disappointed as she said, "I’ve shown his picture to many people, but they all say they’ve never seen him. Too much time has passed, and those who might have seen him have probably forgotten by now."

Long Fei asked, "Have you asked about that man from Guanzhong who was looking for your father? He’s a local; surely many people must know him!"

With her head down, Liuu Ruyan responded, "I only know that he’s from Dragon-Headed Town, nothing else."

After some thought, Wang Xiaoya suggested, "Searching like this is like looking for a needle in a haystack. You should tap into the power of the people."

Right then, the waiter served up the mutton soup, three bowls of soup and six pieces of bread.

The bread had to be broken into pieces and soaked in the soup, which was milky white in color and smelled of a rich, aged broth.

Long Fei soaked his bread, looked at Wang Xiaoya with a smile, and teased, "Comrade Little Ya, tell us how to mobilize the masses, we’re all ears."

"First soak my bread for me, then I’ll teach you!"

Wang Xiaoya pushed her bowl of mutton soup toward him.

Long Fei cheerfully obliged, taking Liuu Ruyan’s as well, not wanting to show favoritism and cause resentment.

Wang Xiaoya frowned inwardly, thinking to herself that this guy was really compassionate.

She found Liuu Ruyan’s beauty to be top-notch as well.

There was always this pitiable look in her eyes.

If she were a man, she’d inevitably fall for her too.

"Let’s do this—you’re not short on cash anyway—so we’ll post a reward notice. We’ll put a photo of Ruyan’s father on the local forum, offering a million as a reward to anyone who provides a lead. With a hefty reward comes brave pursuit, and a million is quite tempting."

"Brilliant! Why didn’t I think of that?"

Long Fei laughed, applauding her and giving her a thumbs-up.

Ruyan hurriedly interjected, "A million? I don’t have that much money!"

Wang Xiaoya chuckled, "It’s not you who’s paying, let your Brother Long cover it. He’s loaded now, can’t even spend all his money."

"I still want to repay him."

After pondering, Liuu Ruyan agreed to the plan.

She addressed Long Fei, "Brother Long, I’ll write you an IOU. After I graduate, I’ll pay you back slowly."

Long Fei, smiling, pushed the bowl of soaked mutton bread toward her. He knew that Liuu Ruyan, like her mother, was very proud.

Just let her have her way.

Whether she repays the money or not, it didn’t really matter. He truly wasn’t short of it.

After finishing their meal, the three went straight back to the hotel and got to work.

In order to establish credibility, Wang Xiaoya even had Long Fei display some cash on the coffee table.

They then called in the hotel owner to verify, promising ten thousand as a gratuity if the person was found.

The hotel owner was so thrilled he nearly fainted, feeling as if a pie had fallen from the sky.

Wang Xiaoya directed him on what to do and personally vouched in a video, holding a big stack of bright and colorful bills, prompting everyone in town, young and old, to take action, not to miss this opportunity to become a millionaire.

The town wasn’t large; the news went viral on the forum as soon as it was posted.

In just one night, the entire town, including people from the surrounding villages, had learned about it, with no one remaining ignorant.
