Ji Xingyao's eyes almost popped out of his head like thunder. "Who are you talking about?"

"Om-"

As Ji Xingyao screamed, she stepped on the accelerator and the engine roared like the wind.

Wen Yuan quickly reminded her: "Be careful, release the accelerator."

Fortunately, the car was not in gear. After Ji Xingyao released his foot, Wen Yuan turned off the car with lingering fear.

She had wanted to tell Ji Xingyao about this for a long time: "I met Li Zhao."

"Li Zhao traveled to the modern era?" Ji Xingyao regained consciousness from her great shock. Wen Yuan's few words made her brain CPU smoke.

"Yes, he came through." Wen Yuan nodded.

Ji Xingyao held his breath for a moment: "How did you meet?"

Wen Yuan told Ji Xingyao everything about Gao Yan's interview and sent Gao Yan's resume to her.

Ji Xingyao opened the resume and saw Li Zhao with short hair and modern clothes, and couldn't help but gasp.

It's really him.

Although his appearance and clothing have changed, his core remains unchanged. Just from a close-up photo, Ji Xingyao can feel the majesty of the former emperor.

It feels strange yet familiar. I'm used to seeing Li Zhao dressed in ancient costumes, and suddenly he's wearing modern clothes, which looks awkward no matter how I look at it.

Wen Yuan happened to mention that she had passed Gao Yan, and Ji Xingyao was very curious: "You passed Li Zhao, wow, this... this..."

Ji Xingyao didn't know what words to use to describe her feelings, which were both shocked and strange.

"How can I hire him if he doesn't understand English?" Wen Yuan said as a matter of course.

"Mr. Wen, at this time, you can still think about this rationally?" Ji Xingyao opened his mouth in shock.

Of course it was impossible. Wen Yuan was a human, not a sculpture. She was so surprised that her brain was in a mess and she could hardly think normally.

There was a moment of silence in the car. They looked at each other in tacit understanding and burst out laughing.

After a while, Wen Yuan suppressed his smile and asked, "Did you meet Li Heng?"

Ji Xingyao was confused by her unexpected question.

"Who? Who are you talking about?"

Li Heng?

"Fuck, he's here too?" Ji Xingyao shuddered subconsciously.

"Did you meet him?" Wen Yuan asked again.

"No." Ji Xingyao shook his head.

"He's coming to see me?" Ji Xingyao asked uncertainly.

Both of them were silent, and no one knew the answer.

Ji Xingyao couldn't understand why Li Zhao, who already controlled the world and stood at the pinnacle of power, came to the modern era and took such a thankless job.

There is no feudal privilege here, men and women are equal, and he can't use any power to put Wen Yuan under house arrest.

Appearing in modern times, he has no advantages.

"How did he get here? Did he also bind the system?"

Wen Yuan shook his head: "I don't know."

Ji Xingyao leaned back in his chair in frustration: "So what are you going to do?"

Wen Yuan still shook his head: "I don't know."

After all, she didn't know what Li Zhao's purpose was, so how could she know how to deal with it?

There is no solution to this problem for the time being. Wen Yuan has to go to work tomorrow and can't just stay here and waste time. Ji Xingyao restarted the car and left the airport.

Returning to Liwan No. 1 Manor, Wen Yuan yawned.

"I'm going to sleep first. Do you want to sleep upstairs or downstairs?"

The house is large with many rooms. Before Aunt Ma left, she cleaned up every guest bedroom so you can choose any one you want to stay in.

"Let's go downstairs. I don't want to climb the stairs. Ayuan, go upstairs and sleep. I'll pack my luggage."

"Yeah. If you're hungry, there's food in the fridge. You can just heat it up and eat it."

After Wen Yuan went upstairs, Ji Xingyao carried the suitcase into the guest bedroom.

Finding her pajamas, she went into the bathroom to take a shower.

About a quarter of an hour later, she, covered in foam, suddenly yelled, "Fuck!"

Without time to wipe off the foam, Ji Xingyao ran out of the bathroom wrapped in a crooked bath towel.

She took out the resume Wen Yuan sent her, and also found the payment information from the buyer when she sold her house.

Gao Yan, Gao Yu.

Li Zhao, Li Heng.

The brothers' mother's surname was Gao, so when they came to the present world, they continued to use their mother's surname.

Ji Xingyao slapped his head hard.

Her teacher taught her since she was young: There is no such thing as a free lunch.

This is indeed true.

How could she have happened to meet such a stupid and rich buyer? It turned out that person was Li Heng!

After hearing this shocking news, Ji Xingyao, who was not sleepy to begin with, became even less sleepy.

The transfer information in the bank card became a hot potato. Out of sight, out of mind, she quickly threw her phone away.

In the morning she was glad that her phone could still be used normally after being soaked in water, but now she wishes the phone would go black immediately and could never be opened.

Even ghost stories are not performed like this!

Ji Xingyao howled to the sky, stayed awake all night, and kept his eyes open until dawn.

When Wen Yuan got up early and went downstairs, he saw Ji Xingyao lying on the sofa in a daze, with her huge dark circles that could not be ignored.

"Are you awake so early?"

"Hmm..." Ji Xingyao sounded like a walking corpse, his voice low and hoarse, without a trace of spirit.

Wen Yuan noticed something was wrong: "What's wrong with you? What happened?"

Ji Xingyao said faintly, "I think I met Li Heng?"

Wen Yuan looked nervous: "He came to Liwan Manor? When and where did you see him?"

"In the capital."

"capital?"

A key word immediately woke Wen Yuan up. It was Li Heng who bought Ji Xingyao's apartment.

"The buyer's name is Gao Yu. Haha, two brothers, both changed their surname to Gao." Ji Xingyao looked at the roof blankly and said lightly.

Wen Yuan came and sat down beside her: "Do you still have a system in your mind?"

"No, the system has completely disappeared."

Wen Yuan calmly analyzed:

"That's good. No matter what, without the system, we won't be forced to return to the Taifeng Dynasty. Remember, as long as we are in this world, the initiative is in our hands. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

"Yeah." Ji Xingyao wasn't actually that worried, but was a little shocked and couldn't accept it for a while.

She forced herself to stand up and said, "I made breakfast, let's eat together."

Since Aunt Ma was not around, Ji Xingyao took the initiative to take on the cooking chore. Her cooking skills were naturally not as good as Aunt Ma's, but it could fill her stomach, and Wen Yuan also enjoyed the meal.

After they finished eating, Lao Lu drove a business car to pick up Wen Yuan and take her to the company.

The moving company arrived at ten o'clock. Ji Xingyao was busy directing the workers to unload the goods and temporarily forgot about Li Heng.

Haishi, a villa near the seaside.

"Ding dong, ding dong."

Gao Yan opened the door.

A blond, blue-eyed foreigner stood outside the door: "Hello, I'm your one-on-one spoken English teacher, Mike."

"Please come in."

MIike entered the villa with a professional smile.

Gao Yan came to the second floor and knocked on the door: "Ayu, come down for class."
