As Wang Yi was walking toward the door of the basement, Cao Tai suddenly had a bad premonition.
"If something were to happen, you would —" Cao Tai originally wanted to ask Wang Yi to reveal himself.
However, Wang Yi spoke out first, "Young master, don't worry, even if Wang Yi dies, I will definitely protect young master!"
After he finished speaking, Wang Yi walked out of the basement, and gently closed the door.
"Ding dong!" The doorbell rang again.
"He's here, he's here!" Wang Yi shouted as he walked towards the door. Cao Tai who was in the basement also pricked up his ears.
"Wife, son, you're back!" Wang Yi's surprised voice came from above, and Cao Tai also heaved a sigh of relief.
Following that, the chatter from above quietened down, and Cao Tai was no longer in the mood to listen to the family of three. He reached for the bowls and chopsticks on the bed, picked up his bowl and started to eat.
Above him, Wang Yi was kneeling in the living room, and the one standing straight in front of him was his wife. His wife was beautiful and dressed fashionable, completely unlike the middle-aged man, Wang Yi. As for the "son" from the conversation, he did not exist in this room.
"Wife" was also holding a LCD screen in her hand. On the screen, there was the image of another woman.
The woman on the screen had a white towel wrapped around her head and her eyes were closed comfortably. Behind her back, a pair of white hands were massaging her shoulders. Most of her body was submerged in the water, but even so, there was still a small bulge on her chest. Red rose petals floated on the surface of the water, and it was easy to imagine the scenery under the water through those petals.
But Wang Yi did not dare have any evil thoughts in his heart, because the woman on the screen was Ding Ling!
"You can begin." His "wife" whispered.
Wang Yi nodded towards his "wife" in front of him, then took out a small, delicate remote control from his chest. Then, he pressed the "Mute" button on the remote control. Silently, a soundproofing board separated the ground from the ground, making it impossible for Cao Tai to hear any conversation from the ground.
"Mister Shen, what did you get today?" Ding Ling's lazy voice came out from the crystal screen.
"There has been some progress, Miss Ding." Wang Yi who was kneeling on the ground replied respectfully.
Yes, from the beginning, Wang Yi was Ding Ling's man. Of course, his real name was not Wang Yi, but Shen Rui.
The so-called "communication was cut off", "Beiping could not be reached", and so on, to the extent that "husband and wife disagreeing", were all lies created by colluding with Cao Tai to deceive him. His goal was obviously to unravel the secret in Cao Tai's mouth.
"This subordinate knows that the secret that Cao Tai, as the son of the Cao family, possesses is related to 'Feng Shui'." Shen Rui said to the lady on the screen.
"Oh?" Ding Ling's tone rose, obviously showing interest.
"Although the Cao family's foundation is in the Beiping, its foundation is in the Northeast, and the Cao family's' Dragon Vein 'is also in the Northeast." Shen Rui told Ding Ling the truth, "The secret that Cao Tai wants to protect is precisely the location of the 'dragon vein'."
"Where is the dragon fountain?!" Ding Ling asked.
Shen Rui helplessly shook his head: "Cao Tai has not let go yet."
"But this subordinate believes that he will say it soon," Shen Rui hurriedly added, "Cao Tai has already let down his guard against this subordinate!"
"I've given you a lot of time, Mr. Shen." Ding Ling was clearly dissatisfied with the progress of Shen Rui's work. On the day of the attack on the Black Tower's stronghold, the Startled Sparrow Master was rendered completely silent under everyone's siege. Not long after, Ding Ling's subordinates found Cao Tai in the tower. At this time, Shen Rui proposed a method to deceive his. Compared to using force to punish his, deceiving his would make it easier to get true information, which was why Ding Ling agreed and accepted Shen Rui's plan.
Unexpectedly, Shen Rui had lied for more than a month before Cao Tai was able to loosen his mouth.
"This subordinate thinks that in at most another month, Cao Tai will reveal the secret of the dragon fountain!" Shen Rui who was kneeling on the ground said.
"How dare you!" The woman on the LCD screen scolded sternly, "How dare you make Miss Ding wait another month!" Her voice was clear and melodious, completely different from the voice of the middle-aged woman from before.
"Yes, yes!" This subordinate knows his wrongs! " Shen Rui fiercely kowtowed, and released a "dong dong" sound. But these sounds did not travel through the soundproofing board into the basement.
"Forget it, forget it." On the screen, Ding Ling stopped Shen Rui from moving, but when Shen Rui raised his head again, his forehead was already completely red.
"You did your best for me, I know that." Ding Ling spoke first.
"But a month's time," Ding Ling added, "it's still a bit too long." She began to think.
Ding Ling would raise her chin with one hand whenever she thought about the issue, and she looked somewhat cute and mischievous. However, there was no one who would associate her with the word "adorable" anymore. The current Ding Ling was completely different from the her from before.
After a long while, Ding Ling lowered the hand that was supporting her chin: "One week, I'll give you one week's time. If you can't let him let go after one week, I'll personally come to interrogate Cao Tai."
"Yes sir!" Shen Rui kowtowed once again to show his submission. In fact, working for Ding Ling did not have any rules that required one to kowtow, and Ding Ling was very disgusted with kowtowing, but since her subordinates insisted on doing so, she would definitely not reject this form of respect.
Ding Ling raised an arm up from the water, and then felt for a black remote control at the edge of the bath. Then, she picked up the remote control and aimed it at the LCD screen on the other side of the bath.
"Pa!" The LCD screen in the woman's hand was extinguished with a slight electric current.
After the screen went out, the two people in the room were silent for a while.
The lady placed the LCD screen back onto the table, and Shen Rui also picked up the remote control for the soundproofing board.
The two of them looked at each other, and the lady nodded her head, and Shen Rui pressed the button on the remote control. The soundproofing panels under their feet opened soundlessly.
The pretty woman spoke again in the voice of the middle-aged woman, "Do you know how to look at money when you read a newspaper? Little Treasure, have you finished your homework? Hurry up and help him persevere for a bit! " Little Treasure was their nonexistent son.
Shen Rui who was kneeling stood up and sat on the sofa.
"Little Treasure, as the father, are you going to do whatever you want with your lessons!?" The woman raised her voice.
"Don't be noisy, don't be noisy. Aren't I going there now? " Shen Rui who was on the sofa spoke impatiently, he stood up from the sofa, and when he stood up, his body knocked against the sofa, the legs of the sofa made a short and ear-piercing noise as they rubbed against the floor.
"Wang, I asked you to take care of your son's homework, are you tired?" The tone of a woman's voice brought to the extreme the interpretation of a woman in menopause. In comparison, when Shen Rui played the role of "Wang Yi", his voice did not change.
In the basement below them.
Cao Tai who was on the bed had already finished all the dishes in the bowl, he placed the bowl on the cabinet beside the bed. Later, Wang Yi would come down and help him pack.
Every day, he slept slowly amidst the daily racket of the "husband and wife".
"The ordinary life is actually quite good." Cao Tai who was in the basement could not help but exclaim.
