Reborn back to the day I descended the mountain, Miss Ji, I will take responsibility for you!

Ye Chen was somewhat surprised to hear that the person he was to protect was Lie Yunhu.

It should be noted that Lie Yunhu is the commander of the Crimson Tiger Army in the north, and one of the guardian war gods who holds military power.

No wonder the old man arranged for me to protect him; if something happened to someone like that in Wucheng...

I'm afraid the entire Wu City will suffer, but Ye Chen has some doubts.

Lie Yunhu himself is a master at the peak of the Martial Grandmaster realm, and he has many strong subordinates under his command, in addition to holding military power.

Such people have loyal bodyguards who are willing to die for them, and with their own combat prowess, they don't need anyone else to protect them.

Ye Chen frowned and asked, "What exactly happened? All of Lie Yunhu's personal guards are dead?"

Du Haijun pondered for a moment and said, "According to the information I received, there was an important evacuation mission some time ago."

"General Lie Yunhu fought against the powerful figures from India and Thailand to protect the mission objective. Even when fighting two against one, he did not lose ground."

"Later, the powerful figures of the Indian Kingdom disregarded their reputation and used poison on the common people. In order to protect the people, General Lie Yunhu not only suffered severe poisoning but also sustained serious injuries."

"Although the mission was completed, India and Thailand are considering launching a military campaign."

"If General Lie Yunhu were to perish at this time, I fear there would be instability on the northern border."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen understood. However, he had dealt with this Lie Yunhu before and found him to be a decent person.

Suddenly remembering something, Ye Chen sneered, "He's been poisoned and injured, yet instead of going to the capital to recuperate and receive treatment, he's come to Wucheng. It seems someone doesn't want this general to live."

Du Haijun dared not accept this, after all, the affairs of a national war god were not something a small businessman like him could discuss.

Moreover, besides being a War God, Lie Yunhu is also a peak Martial Grandmaster.

Of the billions of people in the entire Dragon Kingdom, only a handful can reach the Martial Grandmaster level. Each of these powerful individuals is a treasure to the nation.

The death of even one person is a huge loss for a country.

Ye Chen pondered for a moment and said, "Since it's the old man who arranged it personally, then I'll reluctantly agree."

"As long as that guy is in Wucheng, I guarantee he'll be fine, but it'll be five days at most. If he refuses to leave after five days, I won't be responsible."

Upon hearing this, Du Haijun immediately replied, "Yes, young master. I will report your reply to you later."

Ye Chen grunted in response and hung up the phone. His brows furrowed slightly, and he said with some displeasure, "I'm afraid that old guy is too lazy to do it himself and has just sent all the trouble to me."

"Really, he wants the horse to run but doesn't feed it. He must have owed him something in his past life."

Just then, a text message arrived on Ye Chen's phone, containing a brief schedule.

We are expected to arrive in Wucheng this afternoon, and a banquet will be held at Mucheng Mountain Manor this evening.

At that time, not only will the mayor of Wucheng be present, but also high-ranking officials from Hubei Province, which will lead to chaos and high risk.

Ye Chen glanced at the time and frowned. At this time, the person had probably already arrived.

Mucheng Mountain Manor is an even more upscale manor area than Tomson Riviera.

He hadn't expected that Lie Yunhu would be so wealthy as to own a top-tier manor in the Mucheng Mountain Manor District, which would have cost a considerable amount.

The cheapest one would probably cost at least 5 billion, and given Lie Yunhu's status and position, it would likely be one of the top-tier units.

Its value is probably more than 50 billion, but this is a bit troublesome for Ye Chen.

Because Mucheng Mountain is in the suburbs of Wucheng, going back and forth would be a waste of time.

Ye Chen took out his phone, intending to call a car to Mucheng Mountain Manor, but after waiting for several minutes, no one accepted the order.

However, Ye Chen quickly realized that outside vehicles were probably not allowed to enter that area, and the ride-hailing platform had also set up a blockade.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen hailed a taxi on the side of the road and got in.

Before Ye Chen could even fasten his seatbelt, the driver had already sped five hundred meters ahead before finally asking, "Where are you going, brother?"

"Mucheng Mountain Manor District," Ye Chen said casually.

The driver slammed on the brakes, somewhat surprised, and asked, "Brother, where are you going?"

Ye Chen asked, "Is there a problem with Mucheng Mountain Manor?"

The driver said with a bitter face, "That place is in the suburbs. If I drive there, I'm afraid I'll have to come back empty-handed. With gas prices like these days, I'll have to pay extra for this trip."

Ye Chen took out his phone and scanned the code, and a crisp notification sound rang out in the taxi.

"Payment via Alipay, 1,000 yuan."

"Any questions now?" Ye Chen asked calmly.

The driver said directly, "Dear passenger, please fasten your seatbelt. Driver Xiao Wang will be happy to serve you."

Ye Chen casually said, "Hurry up, I'm in a hurry."

The driver immediately replied, "Don't worry, my nickname is 'Wucheng Car God,' and I guarantee a safe arrival within fifteen minutes."

Immediately afterwards, Ye Chen felt a push in his back, which surprised him slightly. Suddenly, he realized that this taxi driver really had some skills.

No matter how congested the traffic is, drivers can always find a way to get out of the city, making their way through various turns.

Then it accelerated all the way, and the speedometer never dropped below 120.

Ye Chen soon arrived at the Mucheng Mountain Manor area.

The driver glanced at the time and said, "Dear passenger, it's a pleasure to serve you. The trip took 13 minutes and 35 seconds. Are you satisfied?"

Ye Chen didn't say anything and just scanned the code.

Another crisp notification sound rang out.

"Payment via Alipay, 1,000 yuan."

Ye Chen said, "Tip, leave your phone number, I'll call you if I need anything."

Upon hearing this, the driver immediately pulled out a simple black business card and said, "This is my business card. You can call me anytime, and I'll be there whenever you need me."

Ye Chen nodded, got out of the car, and looked at the luxurious manor area in front of him with great emotion.

Mucheng Mountain, although it is a suburb, has excellent supporting facilities, and is even more rationally planned.

The entire villa area encompasses a radius of 30,000 square kilometers, with the more central the area, the more expensive it is.

Lie Yunhu's manor is located in the most central area.

At this moment, countless vehicles were heading towards Lie Yunhu's manor on the highway of Mucheng Mountain.

However, this is a private estate, and it would be troublesome to take a taxi in, so Ye Chen decided to walk the rest of the way.

On the other side, on the Mucheng Mountain Highway, a blue Lamborghini was driving at a leisurely pace.

“Miss Ruoyu, this banquet is a gathering of important figures, and it is also an opportunity for your Ji family to expand your network.”

"Don't you think you should thank me?" Sun Fugui said smugly as he drove the car.

Today he wore a flashy white suit and a Rolex on his wrist, thinking he was a prince charming, but in other people's eyes he was just a playboy.

In the passenger seat, Ji Ruoyu frowned slightly, her face covered in exquisite makeup.

She wore a well-fitting black evening gown and a sapphire necklace, making her look like a fairy under the starry sky.

Looking at Ji Ruoyu, Sun Fugui's desire was almost impossible to hide, but Ji Ruoyu's face was full of disgust at Sun Fugui's gaze.

"Young Master Sun, we've reached an agreement. I'll accompany you to the banquet this time, your Sun family will lift the blockade, and we'll provide the medicinal herbs at a price 10% lower than the market price."

Upon hearing this, Sun Fugui chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I keep my word. Moreover, at this banquet, I can introduce you to some important figures, which will surely bring you even greater benefits."

Ji Ruoyu didn't seem to care. Seeing this, Sun Fugui asked mysteriously, "Miss Ruoyu, do you know who hosted this banquet?"

Before Ji Ruoyu could ask a question, Sun Fugui answered his own question: "According to reliable sources, the host of this banquet is Lie Yunhu, one of the guardian war gods of our Dragon Kingdom."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruoyu's face showed shock. Seeing Ji Ruoyu's shocked expression, Sun Fugui's vanity was greatly satisfied.

"Our Sun family went to great lengths to get an invitation to this banquet."

"You know, this is a chance to get in touch with the God of War who protects the nation. It's not just Wucheng, but many big families from Hu Province have come."

At this moment, the Lamborghini stopped in the parking lot, and through the car window, Ji Ruoyu saw all kinds of luxury cars outside.

And the crowds coming and going, many of whom were important figures he had only seen on television, none of whom the Ji family could afford to offend.

Seeing Ji Ruoyu's surprised expression, Sun Fugui said smugly, "Now you know how important this banquet is, right?"

"Follow me, and there will be more opportunities like this in the future. Moreover, if our two families join forces, it will be a powerful alliance, and becoming a first-class family will be within our grasp."

As Sun Fugui was speaking, he reached out to grab Ji Ruoyu's hand, but Ji Ruoyu dodged him instantly and frowned, saying, "Young Master Sun, show some respect. I am a married woman."

Sun Fugui scoffed, "Your good-for-nothing husband? Can he compare to me? Can he bring you to a banquet of this caliber? He probably doesn't even have the qualifications to serve dishes here."

Just then, Ji Ruoyu suddenly saw a familiar figure appear not far away.

It was Ye Chen, with his hands in his pockets and a relaxed expression. Ji Ruoyu was full of doubt. Why was he here?

Sun Fugui also noticed Ji Ruoyu's gaze, turned his head and saw Ye Chen, and immediately asked in surprise, "Why is this good-for-nothing here?"
