Transmigration: I, the Dragon Overlord, start by protecting my beautiful bride!

"Don't worry, Miss Shi, you don't need to worry about that. I will arrange accommodations for you." Long Aotian looked at her, already having a plan in mind.

quickly,

As evening approached, after settling Shi Yiguang in, the courtyard was empty except for Long Aotian and Jiang Beichuan.

"Come on, Beichuan, try my cooking." Long Aotian carried two steaming plates of stir-fried dishes into the courtyard.

But at this moment, Jiang Beichuan couldn't eat at all.

He was somewhat uneasy and said, "Sir, is it really alright for Miss Shi and my sister-in-law to stay over there? Should we ask Chief Inspector Luo for help and have her send two people to protect them?"

"Protect what?" Long Aotian looked at him and said with some helplessness, "Do you really think there's anyone trustworthy in our Zhenye Division?"

"But Chief Inspector Luo isn't..."

"Chief Inspector Luo is Chief Inspector Luo, but who knows if her own people are truly loyal?" Long Aotian said, then patted his shoulder. "Don't worry, it's safe there. If things get really bad, we can always run away..."

It wasn't that Long Aotian didn't trust Luo Hongyan; it's just that he vividly remembered the time when her subordinates were bribed and tried to kill him...

One should not forget the pain once the wound has healed. Sometimes, the fewer people who know, the safer one is.

"Lord Shen, where are you going?" Luo Hongyan's voice rang out from outside the courtyard gate.

The next moment, she pushed open the door and entered, knife in hand. "I've been looking for you all day. Our plan won't change, will it?"

"Of course not." Long Aotian picked up the bowl, put the bowl full of rice into Jiang Beichuan's hand, and then put a few pieces of shredded pork with garlic sauce on his plate, saying, "Eat, eat more."

Jiang Beichuan listened obediently and didn't say anything, just kept his head down and ate heartily.

Long Aotian stepped forward with a smile and said, "Chief Inspector Luo, what are you saying? What could possibly change in a plan that has already been agreed upon? Tonight, the three of us will work together to devise a grand scheme!"

Hearing Long Aotian say this, Luo Hongyan finally felt a little relieved.

But she still said with some concern, "Lord Shen, we have an agreement. Since we are already in the same boat, let's not hide anything from each other. If there are any changes, you have to tell me."

"Of course, of course." Long Aotian smiled and invited Luo Hongyan to sit down. "Chief Inspector Luo, you really don't know. The two of us encountered assassins at the Xuanhuang Temple today!"

"Xuanhuang Temple?" Luo Hongyan frowned.

"With such a commotion at the Xuanhuang Temple today, surely Chief Inspector Luo must know about it?"

"I've naturally heard about such a big mess," Luo Hongyan replied immediately. "But I'm even more curious, Lord Shen, what were you doing there?"

"To see a doctor," Long Aotian lied without batting an eye. "When you reach middle age, it's inevitable to have unspeakable troubles. I heard there was a miracle doctor over there, so I thought I'd go check him out, but I never expected..."

Although Long Aotian's words were somewhat unreliable, they were still somewhat plausible, so Luo Hongyan did not suspect anything.

"As far as I know, that area is under the jurisdiction of Inspector Wen Tao. Now that such a big mess has occurred, he must be extremely busy," Luo Hongyan replied with a hint of schadenfreude.

Hearing her say that, Long Aotian thought to himself that this matter should have nothing to do with her.

He immediately got up and went to the kitchen, filled two bowls with rice, and handed one to Luo Hongyan, saying, "Chief Inspector Luo, come and try my cooking."

Luo Hongyan wanted to refuse, but she couldn't refuse Long Aotian's hospitality, so she had no choice but to pick up her bowl and chopsticks.

"Lord Shen, it's almost midnight in two hours, why aren't you in a hurry at all?" Luo Hongyan picked up her chopsticks, took a bite of food, and was immediately impressed by Long Aotian's culinary skills.

"What's the use of rushing?" Long Aotian said calmly. "Even if you're in a hurry, you have to take things one step at a time, right?"

"That's true." Luo Hongyan nodded, then tasted another dish. "However, I must say, Lord Shen, your cooking skills are truly excellent."

Long Aotian smiled and said, "As the saying goes, if you want to win someone's heart, you must first win their stomach."

"What do you mean?" Luo Hongyan was a little confused. "Does Lord Shen cook for himself when he's home?"

"Whenever I have time," Long Aotian nodded in reply. "My wife makes clothes to supplement our income, which is quite hard work. As for cooking, whoever is free can do it."

"Tsk tsk tsk, Lord Shen, I never imagined you would dote on your wife so much," Luo Hongyan exclaimed. "I'm really curious about how those rumors about you started..."

"Haha..." Long Aotian scratched his head awkwardly upon hearing this and said, "Let's eat."

The initially tense atmosphere quickly turned into casual conversation after a few words.

After confirming the detailed plan once again, Luo Hongyan left Long Aotian's courtyard.

Jiang Beichuan was the same; the two of them devoured almost all the food on the table.

"Dong dong dong."

Soon, the sound of a bamboo clapper being struck came from outside the courtyard gate.

"The sky is dry and everything is dry, be careful about the fire."

The night watchman's voice came, and Long Aotian stepped out of his house at that moment.

He arrived at the gambling den as agreed, where Long Aotian saw many gamblers who hadn't returned home all night.

"You must be Lord Shen. Please come with us." As soon as Long Aotian pushed open the door of the gambling house, a man saw him and ran up to him, leading him to a room on the third floor of the gambling house.

"Where is Inspector Jiang?"

Long Aotian gripped the hilt of his sword nervously and asked the man.

"Chief Inspector Jiang has some business to attend to and would like to ask you to wait here for a moment." The man said this and quickly left, closing the door behind him.

Long Aotian sat in the room, feeling restless, and his hands, gripping the hilt of his knife, were sweating profusely.

This was the first time he had experienced something so exciting since he transmigrated, just like those special agents on a mission.

However, he must remain calm now and not reveal any weakness, otherwise, no one knows what the consequences will be...

"Dong dong dong."

"Who?"

"It's me again, Lord Shen." A short while later, the man returned, carrying a bowl of tea and some snacks.

"Lord Shen, please have some tea and snacks." The man carried a wooden tray to Long Aotian, placed the food on the table, and then withdrew.

When Long Aotian saw these things on the table, his first reaction was that they absolutely could not be eaten.

He had read many martial arts novels and knew that the sleeping potion here had captivated many heroes.

But after a moment, he changed his mind and picked up the teacup, gulping down a large mouthful...
