Chapter 190 Mysterious Figure!

Lin Yuan took out his phone.

Lin Yuan frowned because he saw that the call came from an unregistered and strange number.

Lin Yuan was going to reject the call directly, but he suddenly saw the caller id is from Yanjing.

‘From Yanjing?’

Lin Yuan thought for a short while and then pressed to accept the call.

“Hello.”

After Lin Yuan said hello, he heard a slightly familiar voice coming from the other side.

“Hello? Is this Xiao Yuan? It’s me Cui Yunrong, old man Cui!” said the familiar voice.

“Oh! It’s old Cui. I thought it was one of those scam calls.” Lin Yuan identified him as soon as he heard Cui Yunrong’s voice.

He remembered that he received a call from him before, but he didn’t save his number.

That is why an unknown number was displayed.

“Huh? What did you say you thought I was? A scam caller?” Cui Yunrong didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he heard Lin Yuan’s words.

“What’s the matter with old Cui? What is up?” Lin Yuan smiled and changed the subject.

Cui Yunrong smiled and explained the reason for the call.

“I called to tell you that I may be returning to Yanjing in the next few days. It’s hard to see a guy like you. I was hoping maybe to meet with you before I go back to Yanjing.”

“I remembered that you said you were going to attend Mei family’s banquet tonight. I remembered that I also received an invitation but didn’t originally plan to go. But since I will be leaving soon, I wanted to see you kid. I am just too fond of you. And so, I plan to go. Are you still there?”

“Well, I’m still here.” Lin Yuan responded.

Lin Yuan felt a little strange. Although he has a good relationship with Cui Yunrong, how could someone like him make a special trip to the banquet just to see him?

According to Lin Yuan’s understanding of Cui Yunrong and the situation, there might be something that’s bothering him.

Sure enough, Lin Yuan heard Cui Yunrong speak again.“Right. There is one more thing, which is incidental.” Cui Yunrong coughs.

“Well...I lost the chess manual you copied for me. I am afraid that I won’t be able to beat those guys when I go back. So, I wanted to come and ask you to make copies for me again. But this is just incidental, the truth is, I really wanted to see you before leaving.”

Hearing Cui Yunrong’s words, Lin Yuan immediately understood that Cui Yunrong didn’t mean what he just said.

Cui Yunrong being so fond of him and wanting to see him were just a front.

But generally speaking, people of high status have come already and participated in the recently concluded discussion between the family groups...

So, who else is this distinguished guest who arrived just now?

Lin Yuan guessed that it should be Cui Yunrong whom everyone is going on and about.

Cui Yunrong’s background is quite terrifying.

After all, he is a nobleman from Yanjing.

Yanjing is the capital of Kyushu, although Jiangbei may not be too inferior in terms of business and capitalism. (T/N: Beijing was formerly known as Yanjing..; Kyushu is the alternate name of ancient China)

But in terms of military and political affairs, Yanjing is more superior to Jiangbei.

Cui Yunrong is also a famous figure in Jiangbei.

And his seniority is also high as signified by his age.

So as soon as Old Cui arrives, he will be very busy interacting with the people present here and there.

But the strange thing for Lin Yuan was that he found out that Ye Feng and Gu Qingshan were all smiling at this time, even Wang Sheng.

He remembered that he cut off the chance for Ye Feng and Cui Yunrong to meet and have a great relationship with him.

So Cui Yunrong’s coming definitely has nothing to do with Ye Feng and the others.

They shouldn’t be so happy to see him.

Could it be that Cui Yunrong is not the cause of the commotion and someone else?

Lin Yuan could only guess.

At this moment, a mysterious figure took the elevator upstairs.

As soon as the figure became more visible, he caught the attention of many people.

The man had an upright figure and straight posture.

Of course, it was not only because of these that he caught people’s attention.

The man was wearing military green attire.

The bottom plate of the green epaulets had pine branches, decorated with two red thin bars and two-star emblems which represent the rank of lieutenant colonel of Kyushu.

In this relatively peaceful era, achieving the rank of Lieutenant colonel is already very good.

After seeing this person, Lin Yuan immediately understood why Ye Feng chose to stay.
