Tomb Raiders: She Comes from the Ancient Martial Arts World

Zhang Rishan sighed silently.

Just then, Kan Jian arrived in his car. Zhang Rishan waved to the two of them, signaling them to get in.

I don't know where Wu Xie found this little girl. She's not very old, but she has quite a presence.

You can tell at a glance that he's not an ordinary person.

However, since the person had already been delivered to him, Zhang Rishan knew that there shouldn't be any major problems with him.

After spending another night at the hotel, Ling Yue followed Zhang Rishan by car to Wusanju in Wuzhou the next day.

The driver was Kan Jian, supposedly Wu Xie's partner, just like Wang Meng.

Throughout the journey, Kan Jian couldn't help but frequently turn his head to look at Ling Yue sitting in the passenger seat.

Ling Yue didn't seem to have any particular thoughts, but Zhang Rishan, sitting in the back seat, couldn't help but say, "Drive carefully!"

If you want to see something, wait until you get off the bus. You can stare at it without blinking. Why are you looking at something while the car is moving?

Kan Jian said "Oh," quickly straightened his posture, and focused on driving.

He was just curious. How could his boss go to the desert and bring back such a beautiful girl? And as an assistant for the follow-up plan!

Kan Jian knew how much the boss valued his plan. Even he and Wang Meng didn't know much about the specifics. They just followed along and worked hard, doing what the boss asked them to do.

Suddenly, a beautiful, unfamiliar girl appeared, who seemed to be trusted and valued by his boss.

No wonder the vest couldn't help but look at it again and again.

After stopping looking at the vest, Ling Yue took the initiative to strike up a conversation with him: "Is the Wu San Ju place we're going to this time your boss's shop?"

She had heard this name when Wang Yue was half-bragging. It was said to be the antique shop that Wu Xie's family gave him to practice his skills after he graduated from university.

Wang Pangzi's original intention was to let Ling Yue know that his family's Tianzhen was at least a second-generation rich kid.

Well, although this rich kid's current debts are in the hundreds of millions.

Upon hearing this, Kan Jian immediately forgot Zhang Rishan's words and enthusiastically began to recount his boss's illustrious resume: "Yes! Our boss was a top student at Zhejiang University, majoring in architecture. After graduation, he went home and became a boss..."

Ling Yue seemed to be listening attentively, occasionally asking questions about topics that interested him.

The questions asked are not fixed in any particular direction. For example, Ling Yue might ask Wu Xie if he had ever had a campus romance when he was in school.

They would also ask Wu Xie why he didn't become an architect and changed careers after graduation. They would also ask if his family didn't care about him since he was traveling around everywhere.

It was just like casual chatting.

Kan Jian was happy to have a good chat with people about her boss, especially a beautiful and outstanding girl like Ling Yue.

Ling Yue only slightly revealed his interest in Wu Xie, and Kan Jian almost sold out his boss, his enthusiasm for selling him was even higher than that of a proper matchmaker.

When Zhang Rishan sensed something was wrong, he would cough to remind the man in the vest who was chatting.

Once again, Zhang Rishan's cough interrupted Kan Jian from speaking at a crucial moment.

Ling Yue finally turned around and gave Zhang Rishan, who was sitting in the back seat acting like an old man, a polite, standard smile: "President Zhang has been coughing the whole way. I wonder if you are feeling unwell?"

Halfway through his sentence, Ling Yue turned to Kan Jian and said, "Kan Jian, how about we stop at a pharmacy or clinic up ahead so Chairman Zhang can buy some medicine?"

Even Kan Jian doubted whether he had misunderstood.

Actually, Zhang Rishan's cough wasn't a reminder, but rather a genuine itchy throat, indicating he was sick.

Faced with Kan Jian's hesitant and questioning gaze, Zhang Rishan's lips twitched. He turned to look at Ling Yue and said calmly, "Thank you for your concern. There's no need to buy medicine. You just need to rest for a while."

It means that they hope the two people in front will shut up and stop talking.

Why do they have so much to say?

This caused his nascent sadness to burst forth, and his ears and mind were filled with Wuxie!

Ling Yue pretended not to understand and changed the subject, "That's true, I feel that Chairman Zhang is not actually unwell, but probably just in a bad mood."

Kan Jian asked in surprise, "Is the president in a bad mood? Did something happen?"

Zhang Rishan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and suddenly had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, the next second, Ling Yue readily started gossiping about Zhang Rishan.

He said it to her face: "Last night, Mr. Wang and I happened to run into Chairman Zhang breaking up with his girlfriend. The girl was crying so hard. Although it was Chairman Zhang who lied and blocked her, it seems that Chairman Zhang is still feeling quite upset."

After finishing, Ling Yue sincerely exclaimed, "Love is truly unpredictable!"

Even Kan Jian couldn't help but sigh.

After all, he had also suffered the pain of love, and now when he looks at Chairman Zhang, he has an indescribable sense of complexity.

If we're talking about sympathy, then Chairman Zhang was the one who dumped the person.

While offering blessings, Chairman Zhang did seem genuinely saddened.

Although Zhang Rishan's expression never changed from beginning to end, it was still that expressionless coffin face.

Zhang Rishan could no longer bear it and had to raise his voice. He opened his eyes and looked at Ling Yue, giving him a meaningful warning: "Young man, you should respect the privacy of the elderly."

Ling Yue glanced back at him, sat back down, and remained quiet for a few minutes.

Suddenly, she looked at Zhang Rishan in the rearview mirror and asked in a flat tone, "So, Chairman Zhang, are you having a twilight romance with your grandparents?"

"Cough cough cough—!" The vest emitted a deafening cough.

I choked on my own saliva!

Now even the most naive Kan Jian understood that the atmosphere between Ling Yue and Zhang Rishan was far from harmonious and friendly, and immediately shrank back, not daring to utter a sound.

Zhang Rishan was also speechless. After all these years, there was still someone who could make him feel so suffocated, with no words left to say and a feeling of tightness in his chest.

He wanted to say something, but after thinking it over and over, he couldn't find the right words.

He was the one who said we should respect the elderly, and they did indeed come up with a more "respectful" way of putting it.

But he clearly wanted her to respect his privacy! It's gossip! Not just another way of saying it!

Zhang Rishan simply closed his eyes to rest, too lazy to care whether the two people in front of him were still chatting or not. Why was the car driving so slowly today!

However, the phrase "grandparent-grandchild love in the twilight years" kept swirling in Zhang Rishan's mind, giving him a headache.

The images of spending time with Liang Wan that had been involuntarily surfacing in his mind, as well as the growing feelings of guilt, reluctance, and attraction towards Liang Wan, were all shattered into pieces.

Really annoying!

This gave the old man a hard time, and the lingering unease that had been building up inside him since leaving the desert was finally released.

Looking at Chairman Zhang again, who had acted like an ancestor on an incense altar from the moment they met until now, Ling Yue didn't seem so displeased anymore.

We still have tasks to complete, so we can't really piss them off.

For the rest of the journey, Ling Yue remained silent, and Kan Jian didn't dare to utter a sound either.

Zhang Rishan, who seemed calm and collected, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

These young people these days are really tough to mess with. After this trip, he might as well go back and retire comfortably.
