I rely on unlimited life extension

Now that the biggest obstacle had been removed, the two of them went to a hotel and booked a room.

From strangers to friends, the two became deeply entangled, playing together until dawn and enjoying themselves to the fullest.

In the real world, at ETH Zurich in Switzerland, He Xiaoying was standing in the principal's office, receiving a meeting with Principal Spencer.

“Miss He, I never expected you to give me such a big surprise.” Principal Spencer looked at the young woman in front of him, his tone full of admiration.

"In less than four months, you passed your MBA graduation exam. In particular, your thesis on the design and restoration of sustainable buildings has attracted the attention of the world's top scholars. Moreover, during this period, you also taught yourself insurance market research and investment operations, which is truly amazing."

"You flatter me, Principal." He Xiaoying bowed slightly, her tone humble.

"I am deeply grateful for the professional competence and meticulous care of the professors at the school. I am able to graduate in such a short time thanks to their teaching and guidance. However, I have a question that I have wanted to ask for a long time. I wonder if the principal could answer it for me."

“Of course, Miss He, please ask.” Spencer gestured for her to proceed, his expression gentle.

He Xiaoying looked directly at the principal and slowly said, "As far as I know, since its founding, no student at ETH Zurich has ever received such preferential treatment as I have."

Not only did I not need to go to school for systematic learning, but the professors in charge of my major courses were the top professors in the entire school. The company that provided me with during the internship phase was the Risk Assessment Management Committee directly under the board of directors of Zurich Insurance Group. Even the CEO, Mr. Grek, personally came to inquire about the workflow of my internship phase.

I want to know, what exactly is the reason that I have such great privileges?

Principal Spencer laughed and said, "Miss He, didn't Mr. Cheng tell you about his identity at the Zurich Insurance Group?"

He Xiaoying was stunned and subconsciously shook her head.

Spencer smiled and said, "However, the board of directors has already received Mr. Cheng's authorization letter to you!"

"What, what do you mean?" He Xiaoying was a little confused, her face full of bewilderment.

“In other words, you can access all the wealth in his accounts, and you have all his authority,” Spencer explained patiently. “As for CEO Mr. Grek, he is just an employee of our General Insurance division, while you are the most important client of our board of directors.”

In an instant, He Xiaoying was completely stunned, standing there speechless for a long time.

———————————— Here comes another dividing line ——————————————

Cheng Yi and Li Yu, that two lovebirds, were so sweet together that they went to Sisters' Roast Meat and Braised Food Shop after leaving the hotel.

Seeing Ah Zhi carrying a bag of groceries weighing over a hundred pounds with one hand without changing her expression, Ah Yu was so surprised she couldn't close her mouth.

Cheng Yi asked, "Where's Xiaoting?"

A-Lian said, "Xiao-Ting woke up early and went back to work. Oh, by the way, she asked me to kiss you and say thank you."

As she spoke, she kissed Cheng Yi on the cheek, gave him a flirty wink, and asked with a smile, "Uncle-Master Li Jin has already agreed, when do you plan to make your relationship public?"

Ayu shrank back shyly and whispered, "Sister Alian, my father has already accepted Brother Chengyi's betrothal gifts."

A-Lian laughed and said, "You're really quick; the betrothal gifts are all gone. Well then, this morning I saw that the house next door had just been put up for sale, so I decided to buy it. I was originally going to live there by myself, but now it's perfect for me to live with A-Yu, okay?"

Ayu nodded repeatedly, naturally agreeing wholeheartedly.

Cheng Yi suddenly asked, "Where did Ah May go?"

Ah Lian sighed and said, "Ever since Ah May saw that bastard last time, she often gets distracted for no reason."

At noon, she cut her hand again while chopping vegetables. When she turned around to bandage it, the knife fell to the ground.

Luckily, Ah Zhi saw it and threw away the pig's trotter in time, knocking the knife away. Otherwise, Ah May would have been crippled or even killed today.

Cheng Yi looked in the direction Ah Lian pointed and saw Ah May drinking alone on the rooftop.

He opened his third eye and saw that Ah May was shrouded in black mist, her forehead was slightly dark, and her face was as pale as paper, as if she had just recovered from a serious illness.

Cheng walked over and said, "Drinking again? You were drinking the last time I saw you."

May snorted and said with a hint of resentment, "What else can I do if I don't drink? Your wives won't let me do anything. I'm so bored. Why don't you find me a different job?"

Cheng Yi smiled and said, "Try to understand. They're just worried that you might be confused and cause trouble if something happens again."

Suddenly, Cheng Yi caught a glimpse of two figures carrying black umbrellas, slowly floating up from downstairs.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the same ghost mother and son from the "Ghost Invasion of the Triads" storyline that I encountered last time.

Before Cheng Yi could speak, the female ghost glared at him fiercely and said in a shrill voice, "It was you last time! You were the one who stopped my son from being reincarnated! This time, we finally got this information. If you dare to stop us again, I will risk my life to take you down with me!"

Cheng Yi sighed and said calmly, "I understand how you feel, but you don't have the strength to take me down with you."

Seeing Cheng Yi speaking into the void, Ah May asked with a puzzled look, "What are you doing? Who are you talking to?"

Cheng Yi said, "A female ghost who wants to kill you."

Ah May snorted and said dismissively, "Just making a fuss over nothing."

After saying that, she turned to go downstairs.

However, after taking only two steps, she suddenly sensed a small figure flash in front of her, which startled her, and she instinctively took a step back.

However, she forgot that she was standing on the edge of the rooftop. Her foot slipped, and with a scream, she fell down the building.

At this critical moment, Cheng Yi's Nine Tails activated instantly, and nine energy tails shot out like lightning, tightly binding Ah May.

With a strong tug, he yanked May back from mid-air with a "whoosh".

Seeing this, the female ghost beside him was enraged and recklessly stretched out her sharp claws, lunging at Cheng Yi.

Cheng Yi glared and roared, unleashing a Buddhist chant to subdue the demon.

"Ah—" "Wow—"

The female ghost and the child let out two shrill screams and fell heavily to the ground.

Seeing the child screaming in pain from the sunlight, the female ghost immediately pounced on him, hugged him tightly, and instantly turned into wisps of yin energy that scattered in all directions.

Cheng Yi ignored them, lowered his head, looked at Ah May who was suspended in mid-air by his energy tail, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't allow it. No one can hurt you, not even ghosts."

System notification: Your special skill, Soul-Hooking Eye, has been triggered, consuming 100 hours of life time.

Ah May's gaze softened as she looked at Cheng Yi, a hint of reproach in her voice as she said, "Aren't you going to pull me up? Do you want to leave me hanging here forever? You're a master!"

"Expert? What kind of title is that? You can call me a master, okay?" Cheng Yi thought to himself.

After pulling Ah May up, Cheng Yi said, "You'll be staying with me for the next few days. Judging from the way that female ghost looked earlier, she might not let you go easily. If you stay with me, at least you'll be able to save your life."

Ah May obediently agreed and said nothing more.

As she went downstairs, she suddenly stammered, "I...I...could I also become your apprentice, like Xiaoting, and learn Taoist magic? That way, if I encounter a female ghost, at least I'll have the strength to fight back."

Cheng Yi gave her a deep look and asked, "You want to be my apprentice? That depends on how loyal you are."

Ah May immediately retorted, "I've already been like that with you, isn't that enough?"

"That only shows the level of intimacy between us, not loyalty."

Cheng Yi said, "Let me ask you, if Master has a conflict with someone and may face a major predicament, whose side would you stand on?"

Ah May replied without hesitation, "Then I will definitely prioritize Master's interests. Master's enemies are my enemies. Whoever Master tells me to beat up, I will beat up."

"Stop saying nice things."

Cheng Yi looked at her and said, "After I teach you Taoist magic, the first person you'll have to deal with is your ex-boyfriend. Are you willing to go?"

May nodded vigorously, a fierce glint in her eyes: "I'll listen to Master. I've hated that bastard for a long time."

"You were hesitant to do it yesterday, but you've changed so quickly, I can hardly believe it."

"If it weren't for Master saving me just now, how could I have survived? I will definitely obey Master's orders!"

“Okay, remember what you said, come back to the room with me,” Cheng Yi said.

System notification: You have acquired a disciple, May, with a current loyalty level of 92. Wow, that's pretty high!

Cheng Yi consumed system energy to teach Ah May the Shangqing Great Cave True Scripture, the Shangqing Thunder Technique, and the Eagle Claw Iron Shirt.

Watching Ah May fall into a deep sleep, Cheng Yi left the room. Ah Lian playfully pinched him and said, "Another sister? How many more women do you need to take in to be satisfied?"

Cheng Yi blushed and chuckled dryly, "The last one."

Ah Zhi laughed from the side, "Forget it, I've seen you two exchanging glances for a while now. It's better to be frank now."

Right now, Dad and the others are taking turns going to the Wong Tai Sin Police Station to train the police officers; they don't have time for you. If they find out you're seeing women like this outside, hmph, you're in big trouble.

The group was chatting and laughing when Cheng Yi's phone suddenly rang. It was Zhang Dashao calling. Cheng Yi answered the phone and asked, "Uncle-Master, what's up?"

Young Master Zhang's voice was urgent: "Ah Yi, a group of people just came, and Xiao Rong and Lili have been kidnapped!"

Cheng Yi's heart tightened, and he quickly asked, "What happened? Who took him away?"

Young Master Zhang said, "Do you remember the night before last, when we went out to eat at a food stall, two groups of thugs were arrested by the police for stabbing people?"

The people who kidnapped Xiao Rong and Lili today were the leader of one of their gangs, named Lan Guifa. Before they left, they told us to bring 200 million yuan to ransom Xiao Rong and Lili.

Cheng Yi immediately agreed, "Okay, I'll bring the money to ransom them right away. Where exactly is the person?"

“A well-established business in the Chong Hing Building on Nathan Road in Mong Kok,” said Zhang Dashao.

"Uncle-Master, don't worry, I'll go redeem them right away. I promise I'll bring Xiao Rong and Lili back safely." Cheng Yi finished speaking and hung up the phone.

He exchanged a few words with the women and then immediately drove to Nathan Road in Mong Kok.

Arriving at Fada Business Company in Chuangxing Building, Cheng Yi pushed open the door and went inside. Five or six shady-looking thugs immediately surrounded him, sizing him up.

One of the young men, who looked very similar to the leader of the Huangji Jingtian Fist, Mr. Bu Liushou, stepped forward and asked, "Kid, who are you looking for?"

Cheng Yi said, "I'm here to ransom people."

Upon hearing this, the man glanced down at the suitcase Cheng Yi was carrying, then immediately turned and went inside.

Before long, several men escorted a man out, and the one in the lead was none other than Brother Crow—oh, in this story he's called Rotten Ghost.

Rotten Ghost walked up to Cheng Yi and said viciously, "You're the one who got my little brother locked up? You're asking for it!"

Cheng smiled and said, "Brother Fa, let's talk this out. Can I see the person you arrested?"

The rotten ghost cursed, "You think you can just see me whenever you want? I don't want you to see me today, okay?"

Cheng Yi maintained his smile: "Brother Fa, don't get angry. There's a saying that goes, 'It's better to resolve a feud than to let it fester.' To show my apology, I'll offer 400 million if you just let me take those two away."

Rotten Ghost glanced at him sideways and said, "Looks like you're fucking rich. I've changed my mind, I want 500 million."

Cheng nodded and said, "Okay, as long as I can take the person away safely."

Rotten Ghost looked Cheng Yi up and down carefully, then asked suspiciously, "What exactly do you do? You took it out so easily, are you a drug dealer? Or an arms smuggler?"

Cheng Yi smiled and said, "I don't do shady things, I just run a small business."

Lan Guifa nodded and said, "So you're in business. No wonder you're so rich. Okay, you're quite clever, calling me 'Brother Fa' all the time. Don't say I didn't give you a chance. 500 million per person. You pay the money, and I'll release them."

"Huh?" Cheng Yi frowned. "Brother Fa, you must have made a mistake. Wasn't it supposed to be two people? How come it's 500 million per person?"

Rotten Ghost glared and said, "What? Who said there were two people? Now I'll say 500 million per person, okay?"

Cheng Yi smiled and said, "Of course. Brother Fa, whatever you say is fine. Could you let me see them first, and if they're safe, I'll write a check right away."

Rotten Ghost turned around and shouted to those behind him, "Ah Jian, go and bring that woman and the little devil out."

A man who looked very much like Eight-Taels-of-Gold—A-Jian—answered and turned to go inside.

A short while later, he came out with Xiao Rong and Lili.

As soon as Lili saw Cheng Yi, her eyes immediately reddened. She was about to rush forward when she was stopped by A-Jian beside her.

Rotten Ghost gestured with his lip and said, "Alright, now that we've seen the person, give me the money."

Cheng Yi looked at Xiao Rong and Lili and saw that apart from some redness and swelling on their faces, they were fine, so he finally felt relieved.

He said, "Wait a minute, there's something I want to ask you. Brother Chow, how did you find me?"

Rotten Ghost snorted and said, "Of course I couldn't find you, but my partner remembered what your girlfriend and her dad looked like and helped me find their home."

As soon as he finished speaking, several people walked out. Cheng looked closely and saw that the person in the middle was none other than Gui Lifu, the one who had been slashed by Arong that night. Those two bastards had finally gotten together again.

Gui Lifu said with a forced smile, "Kid, blame your bad luck. Hurry up and pay up, then take your men and get lost."

Cheng Yi laughed and said, "Wow, I saw you get slashed by one of his underlings last time, but today you two are as close as brothers."

Gui Lifu's face darkened, and he cursed, "What's it to you? Kid, are you going to refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit?"

With that, he waved his hand and shouted, "Teach him a lesson!"

The thugs behind immediately rubbed their hands together and stepped forward, eager to get started.

Cheng Yi quickly walked to Lili and Xiao Rong's side, protecting them behind him. Then, he pulled out two large black guns with silencers from somewhere.

The gangsters were stunned when they saw the gun.
