Chapter 23 - The Goddess's Embarrassment
"Stop shouting, someone kidnapped you outside and I saved you." Lu Yan suddenly let out a breath of air and said.
He was a good person, but now he was being slandered as a hooligan. No matter who it was, they wouldn't be happy.
Lan Yuyan looked at Lu Yan's serious face as if he was serious, and half-believed and half-doubted herself. After these few days of contact, Lan Yuyan could tell that Lu Yan was not the kind of person who would casually lie.
"I've put down two robbers outside. If you don't believe me, you can go out and take a look." Lu Yan said as he looked at Lan Yuyan's skeptical expression.
After putting on his clothes, he walked outside. Contrary to Lu Yan's expectations, the three black-clothed bandits who were lying on the ground outside had already left.
Lu Yan saw that the three of them left and it became bad.
Just as Lu Yan had expected, when Lu Yan turned to look at him, Lan Yuyan's expression became exceptionally ugly. "I say, what reason are you looking for?
Lan Yuyan abruptly threw down her words and walked inside the house. Now, she could not even explain herself, she really wanted to cry but had no tears. If she had known earlier, she would not have let the four people leave, and now, she could not even wash away the Yellow River.
Just as Lu Yan was sitting in his room, there was a series of knocks on the door.
Lu Yan saw Lan Yuyan walking in from the outside, "From now on, I hope that you can leave this place. I'm afraid that you aren't here to protect me."
Thinking up to here, Lan Yuyan felt a burst of lingering fear. If she had woken up too late, then who knows what Lu Yan would have done.
Seeing that there was no explanation, Lu Yan could only roll his eyes and think of a solution, when he suddenly thought that Xiao Ya might be enchanted by the aphthae fructus too.
Lu Yan quietly walked into Xiao Ya's room. Just as Lu Yan had expected, Xiao Ya was also captivated by the aphthae fructus.
Due to the constant training, Xiao Ya's body gave off a kind of essence of beauty. When this essence of beauty touched the heart, it would bring a lot of feeling, and this was exactly the feeling Lu Yan had right now.
However, Lu Yan was not in the mood to appreciate this feeling, the most important mission right now was to wake Xiao Ya up. With Xiao Ya's vigilance, he naturally knew about the aphthae fructus.
Lu Yan immediately pointed to the few big acupuncture points on Xiao Ya's body. After helping Lan Yuyan to contact the aphthae fructus on her body just now, Lu Yan's technique had become more and more mature.
These black-clothed men had really given him a lot of aphthae fructus s. Only after Lu Yan helped Xiao Ya to expel them for three minutes did he show signs of gradually waking up. This trend caused Lu Yan to heave a sigh of relief.
Xiao Ya felt her entire body becoming weak, and when she was in a daze on the bed, she smelt a faint fragrance, which immediately caused him to faint.
But when the fragrance entered his body, Xiao Ya realised that he had lost consciousness and fainted. When Xiao Ya opened his eyes again, he realised that he was almost in contact with Lu Yan.
Lu Yan was the man that Xiao Ya hated the most. Xiao Ya's reaction was Lu Yan teasing him, and this was the first reaction of women.
"Hey, I'm here to save you." Lu Yan had seen the unreasonable woman from Lan Yuyan, so he was not going to allow her to cause trouble this time.
"Does it feel like you're groggy when you press your hand on your temple?" Lu Yan said snappily.
Xiao Ya pressed on her temple and the wave of dizziness made her instantly think of a few things. Only after being drugged did such a feeling appear, causing Xiao Ya to suddenly think of Lan Yuyan.
Xiao Ya pushed Lu Yan away, and just as he was about to step on the ground, he felt a sense of weakness in his entire body. This feeling was very strong, and Xiao Ya knew that it was because the dosage of the medicine was too high.
Looking at the unconscious Xiao Ya, Lu Yan knew that the aphthae fructus's energy had failed. When Xiao Ya's body was about to fall to the ground, Lu Yan held him up.
Xiao Ya's soft body secretly felt good about Lu Yan. Previously, Lu Yan did not think too much about it when he was treating Xiao Ya's body, but now that he thought about it, it was indeed different.
"You scoundrel, let go! You're trying to molest me! Be careful or else I won't hold back! Let go!" Xiao Ya's face was completely red, as he started to curse angrily.
Hearing Xiao Ya's angry curses, Lu Yan obediently let go of her hand. Xiao Ya's body fell to the ground, and fell down while staring at Lu Yan in pain. She did not expect Lu Yan to actually let go, this was unexpected to Xiao Ya.
But Xiao Ya immediately reacted, his right hand supporting herself on the ground, she did not fall in a miserable state, but the moment Lu Yan let go of his hand, his left hand grabbed onto Xiao Ya's shoulder, causing Xiao Ya to be held firmly in mid air.
Due to the inertia, Xiao Ya's legs clamped onto Lu Yan's waist, and started to shake non-stop. Her two hands subconsciously held tightly onto Lu Yan's back.
Lan Yuyan stood outside and looked at the two people who were flirting with each other. Lu Yan had a thick skin, and had long been accustomed to seeing such things, but on the other side, Xiao Ya's face was completely red. She had never come into such close contact with a man before.
Lu Yan's breath filled Xiao Ya's neck, causing his face to flush even redder. However, it was only because of the night time and the moonlight was not very bright, so he could only see the two's general movements, not Xiao Ya's face nor the blush on his face.
"Cough cough, what are you two doing?" Lan Yuyan saw the two's intimate actions, and immediately coughed twice and said.
"Nothing. It was all an accident." Lu Yan laughed as he threw Xiao Ya onto the bed.
Xiao Ya's limbs and bones did not have any strength, which made Xiao Ya fall weakly onto the bed. Seeing that Xiao Ya did not say anything, Lan Yuyan could only shake her head and walk out.
"Who put the incense?" Although Xiao Ya was embarrassed, her mouth was not at a disadvantage and she did not admit her mistakes.
"Just now we caught a few black-clothed men. Listening to their words, I really want to get involved with the Qingtang Gang. The robbery this morning should also be related to the Qingtang Gang." Lu Yan muttered.
The robber of this morning was of unknown origin. He must not be some common robber since he was daring enough to rob a bank. There must be someone supporting him from behind. The operation of dozens of guns and men was not something a imprisoned police chief could do.
With something like this happening again tonight, it looked like the entire Wuyang City was not at peace! When Xiao Ya saw that Lu Yan did not say anything, she thought Lu Yan was thinking about something.
After a while, Lu Yan suddenly raised his head and said: "Go rest, I'll explain it to Lan Yuyan later."
When Lan Yuyan found out that her family had released the aphthae fructus, her face was full of astonishment. She could ignore Lu Yan if she did not believe in him, but she completely trusted Xiao Ya.
"The four people who came tonight are hoodlums from Qingtang Gang." Lu Yan said.
From the conversations of the four, Lu Yan found out that the origins of the four hoodlums were all from the Qingtang Gang, an underground organization.
"I know these three underground organizations!" Lan Yuyan who was quietly at the side suddenly said.
The three major underground gangs of the Wuyang City, Qingtang Gang, and Luan Phoenix Pavilion each occupied a corner. Lan Yuyan could not not be unaware of this, and people like them who were in contact with all levels of the Wuyang City would naturally know of the Wuyang City's methods.
Amongst these three schools and nine streams, Qingtang Gang, Five Tigers Gang and Luan Phoenix Pavilion had the most subordinates. Lan Yuyan normally would not get entangled with three gangs where she met.
In the end, her Junlan International Building was still just a business company. Although these gangs were constantly purifying themselves, they still had the nature of an underground organization. However, these three underground organizations wouldn't interfere with Lan Yuyan's company's development, but they would secretly collect protection fees.
Lan Yuyan had only tolerated the actions of two gangs, but now Qingtang Gang actually ordered someone to kidnap him! This matter was something that she absolutely could not tolerate, especially to Lan Yuyan. It was a disgrace to him.
Now, Lan Yuyan could no longer tolerate it!
In the middle of the night, Lan Yuyan's phone call woke up all of the higher management staff sleeping in the Junlan International Building. The moment the management staff saw that it was Lan Yuyan personally making the call, they knew that something big had happened.
In a short period of time, the entire building started to operate at night. Lan Yuyan immediately gave the order to cut off all transactions with the Qingtang Gang.
In order to clarify the nature of his own company, Qingtang Gang had also made many other companies, and these companies also had dealings with him.
Lan Yuyan's angry voice made all the executives tremble. No one dared to ask Lan Yuyan why she was doing this, and they all started to operate the system.
All the businesses related to the Qingtang Gang were closed.
"Useless, where is the Lan Yuyan that you have tied up?" Yang Haichao angrily looked at the four subordinates who were kneeling on the ground in front of him.
The kidnapping of Lan Yuyan was instigated by him, but there were still people behind him who told him to do it. Now that Lan Yuyan did not kidnap him, it was not only a huge threat to him but to the entire Qingtang Gang.
It would have been fine if Lan Yuyan didn't know that it was him who did it, but if she knew that it was the Qingtang Gang who did it, then she would have cut off all financial ties with the Qingtang Gang.
Needless to say, the Junlan International Building had provided help to the Qingtang Gang in the recent years. With the Junlan International Building's business of contacting the Qingtang Gang, the economy of the Qingtang Gang had become more and more prominent.
"There was an expert beside Lan Yuyan, so we failed." The leader of the lackeys said.
How could he fail under the condition of a aphthae fructus? Yang Haichao was so angry that his head was hurting, this kind of aphthae fructus could even be killed with bodyguards, how could he let them fail?
"Speak, what's the situation?" Yang Haichao took a deep breath.
"According to the plan, we had already thrown the aphthae fructus into Lan Yuyan's room, and all of the rooms were filled with the scent of aphthae fructus. When we brought Lan Yuyan out, a man jumped out behind us. The leader of the group said as he broke out in a cold sweat.
Yang Haichao looked kind and gentle on the outside, but he knew that as long as Yang Haichao enforced the sect rules, he would definitely suffer a fate worse than death. The leading black-clothed elder brother started to sweat profusely as he explained.
Was it that person? Yang Haichao's eyes flashed with killing intent. He had heard of Lu Yan's capabilities before, so how could he not be afraid of the aphthae fructus? This was something that Yang Haichao had never expected.
"No problem, since he's here, it's not too much of a mistake on your part. Let's get out of here first." Yang Haichao waved his hand helplessly.
When the four men heard that Yang Haichao was going to let them off, their eyes revealed a hint of happiness. As long as Sect Master does not impose any rules on them, it would be fine.
Just then, Yang Haichao's phone rang, and Yang Haichao's face turned ugly.
