Gao Xiaoqin withdrew her hand somewhat awkwardly, but at this moment she dared not show any emotion, and could only look at Zhao Ruilong with a wronged expression.

Zhao Ruilong lowered his head, cursing inwardly, "Don't you know who you are? Do you think your old tricks will work?"

Didn't you see that even my second sister had to be respectful? You should just stay quietly to the side. Why did you have to go and join in the fun?

Gao Xiaoqin seemed to realize something as well, lowered her head, and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Zhao Ruilong forced a smile.

“Miss Ye, you must be tired from your journey. I have already booked a room at the best hotel in Jingzhou. Please get some rest. If you need anything, just let me know.”

Ms. Ye nodded noncommittally and then got back into the car.

Seeing this, Zhao Xiaohui secretly glared at Gao Xiaoqin, then moved closer to Zhao Ruilong and warned him.

"Let me tell you, this is the second young lady of the Ye family. You have to serve her well. There's no need to get close to someone like her."

“If this matter is handled well, your father can climb a higher position, and your messy affairs will be easier to resolve.”

"But if you upset the other party, I can't save you, you know?"

Zhao Ruilong shuddered upon hearing this and nodded repeatedly.

In the past, he didn't take it seriously. Who could help his old man? Wasn't that just wishful thinking?

But now that I hear she's a young lady from the Ye family, I feel relieved.

Only a large family like this could speak up for their own father.

Zhao Ruilong couldn't help but shudder. Luckily, he had listened to his older sister earlier; otherwise, he might have angered her.

The Zhao family's influence can vanish in an instant.

Zhao Ruilong breathed a sigh of relief, then glared at Gao Xiaoqin.

"What are you waiting for? Get in the car now."

Gao Xiaoqin got into the car, seemingly lost in thought.

The convoy slowly drove away from the highway exit.

The group arrived at the hotel, and upon learning of Miss Ye's identity, Zhao Ruilong immediately called and booked the entire hotel.

At this moment, everyone in the room was Zhao Ruilong's man, all for the purpose of serving Miss Ye at all times.

Ye Zi got out of the car, glanced casually at the hotel in front of her, and was then ushered inside by the crowd.

After entering the room, Zhao Xiaohui pulled Miss Ye aside to talk, while Zhao Ruilong went to give some instructions.

After a long while, Zhao Ruilong walked into the room, panting.

"Miss Ye, everything has been arranged. Please feel free to ask if you need anything."

"By the way, I've also arranged a team of security personnel to ensure your safety."

Upon hearing this, Miss Ye nodded casually, seemingly quite used to such things.

The next moment, Miss Ye seemed to have thought of something, and her brows furrowed slightly.

"Xiaohui said that you know the area around Handong best and have the most acquaintances, so if there's anything I need in Handong, I can come to you?"

"But I still want to ask, are you sure you can do it?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaohui's lips parted slightly, but she remained silent. She knew her younger brother very well; he had a terrible temper, and if anyone else had said that, he would have been furious.

However, she believed that Zhao Ruilong was a pragmatic person and wouldn't make a mistake on this matter.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ruilong was initially furious, but that anger quickly dissipated, as he couldn't afford to offend the person in front of him.

Not only him, but even their old man is someone they can't afford to offend.

Miss Ye didn't care about Zhao Ruilong's feelings; she just looked him up and down, her tone skeptical.

"I've heard about what your Zhao family is up to in Handong, which is why that deputy chief prosecutor was parachuted here. You won't let me down, will you?"

"If this matter is handled incorrectly, can you bear the consequences?"

Zhao Xiaohui was shocked; this was the first time Miss Ye had shown such sharpness in front of her.

Zhao Ruilong's Adam's apple bobbed, and sweat poured down his forehead. Although he was terrified of the consequences, he thought about the situation of the Zhao family after the deed was done, as well as their influence in Handong.

Zhao Ruilong felt confident about the matter.

After all, the Zhao family's decades of experience in Handong were not for nothing.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ruilong wiped the sweat from his brow and became serious.

"Miss Ye, don't worry, as long as you're in Handong, I can get whatever you want done."

"If I can't get it done, I'm willing to accept the punishment."

At this moment, Zhao Xiaohui, who was standing to the side, also quickly spoke up.

"Yes, Ye Zi, Handong is the Zhao family's stronghold. Is there anything we can't do on our own turf?"

"If this matter cannot be resolved, I, as your older sister, will personally apologize to you."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zi turned to look at Zhao Xiaohui and then said calmly.

"Sister Xiaohui, this matter is extremely important to me, so I need to ask repeatedly to ensure that nothing goes wrong. Please understand."

Zhao Xiaohui repeatedly said she dared not.

Miss Ye turned to look at Zhao Ruilong.

"Since Sister Xiaohui has said so, then this matter will be left to you."

"I'm here to find someone. I received information that he's in Handong, but I don't know exactly where."

"I need you to find him as soon as possible, but only if you don't alert him, understand?"

Zhao Ruilong breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. He had thought he was going to do something serious, but it was just finding someone. So he patted his chest and assured him.

"Miss Ye, don't worry, as long as this person is in Handong, I will definitely find him for you. However, it would be best to have a photo to help you find him."

"Of course, if you don't have it, that's okay. You can describe it to me, and we'll have a general idea of ​​the situation so we can find it, but it will take longer."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zi thought for a moment, then took out a wallet from her bag, gently stroked the photo tucked inside, and then quietly handed it to Zhao Ruilong.

“This is the only photo of him and me, so you must protect it.”

Zhao Ruilong wiped the sweat from his hands on his trouser leg before carefully taking the photo, a feeling of jealousy rising in his heart.

Good heavens, Miss Ye is dating you, and you're being secretive about it? What, are you starting to look down on her?

I'd like to see who you are, that you've managed to win the heart of Miss Ye.

When Zhao Ruilong took the photo, he felt even more bitter. Good heavens, the Ye family's young lady in the photo was smiling radiantly, but the man was actually facing away from the camera.

Zhao Ruilong was filled with jealousy, but this was not the time to dwell on it. He simply looked at Miss Ye with surprise.

When Miss Ye saw Zhao Ruilong's expression, she couldn't help but smile, as if she were thinking of those past years.

"He doesn't like having his picture taken..."
