Chapter 41
C41 – Old Mr. Hu’s Complaint
He had seen it all, both what he was and wasn’t supposed to see.
Zhao Yuegu found himself in a bit of a bind.
Should he just leave and act as if nothing had happened?
But he was already inside...
His skin, albeit a tad small, was impeccably maintained, seemingly flawless.
And unlike Ma Yabei’s lacy underthings, there was a cute Pikachu-themed one...
While he pondered his next move, Sun Ying sensed something and groggily opened her eyes.
“Hmm?”
“Leaving so soon?”
“Just a bit more sleep.”
She then snuggled deeper into the covers.
Zhao Yuegu couldn’t help but let out a wry smile.
Even now, she was thinking about sleeping?
But quickly, Sun Ying realized something was off. She let out a startled yelp and sat up, clutching the blanket tightly around her.
“What do you think you’re doing? I’m off-limits for the next couple of days!”
It was as if a crow had flown over his head, leaving behind six little black marks.
“I’m just waking you up, what else?”
“A girl needs to protect herself, especially when she’s nearly bared it all.”
He tossed Sun Ying her clothes and made his exit.
“Get up and meet me in the cafeteria.”
Skipping breakfast wasn’t an option.
It’s not good for your health.
Zhao Yuegu was too hungry to entertain any other thoughts.
Sun Ying opened her mouth, watching his retreating figure, and finally let out a long sigh.
Sigh...
Why did her period have to start now?
Otherwise, she might have had a chance with the boss.
What a shame.
But being seen like that didn’t bother her in the slightest.
If Zhao Yuegu were unattractive, it would be indecent.
But his good looks and physique had Sun Ying entertaining thoughts of her own mischief.
It wasn’t until after eight that they finally got on the road.
There was no helping it; Sun Ying simply lacked the sense of duty of a driver.
Everbreach wasn’t far from Zeffari County, and the highway made the trip relatively quick.
Even though Sun Ying was a woman behind the wheel, she drove with remarkable steadiness.
“Boss, I need to stop by my house to pick up some clothes.”
“No problem.”
“Long live the boss.”
“Now look at us, chasing after him and not even knowing where to find him.”
Old Mr. Ma just had to bear it.
For the good of the community, he’d swallow his anger no matter how great.
Thankfully, the county’s response was swift, and soon a helicopter was dispatched.
Old Mr. Hu couldn’t wait a moment longer; he was the first to board, with everyone else following.
They scoured the skies for Walden Village, guided by the rough directions.
The road workers gazed upward, filled with awe.
“It seems Walden Village might just produce a real dragon.”
“Who would’ve thought such an isolated place could stir up such a sensation?”
“That must be the C-20 helicopter from the reports. It’s incredibly cool. I never imagined I’d see one up close in my lifetime.”
“Enough chatter. We’re not in their league. Let’s focus on the roadwork.”
Aircraft, after all, travel faster than any vehicle on the ground.
The thunderous sound of the helicopter drew the village residents’ attention skyward.
Every elder craned their necks, curious.
“What’s that thing flying up there, making such a racket?”
“Don’t be so surprised. It’s an airplane. I saw one twice during my military days, though this one’s much larger than those I’ve seen.”
“I never thought I’d live to see such a sight before I’m six feet under,” the elder remarked.
The villagers were utterly astonished.
Their mountain village was so isolated, it might as well have been a different world compared to what lay beyond its borders.
Many of the elders couldn’t even recognize letters, let alone understand what a helicopter was.
“Look, that thing’s coming our way.”
“It’s not going to crash into us, is it?”
“Should we take cover inside the house?”
From high above, Old Mr. Hu took in the full view of Walden Village.
Nestled between mountains and rivers, with wisps of smoke curling up from the chimneys, it was the epitome of tranquility.
“This is a remarkable place, blessed with both natural beauty and exceptional people. It’s rare to find such traditional charm these days.”
Old Mr. Ma slowly nodded in agreement as he peered out the window.
“Apart from its remote location, the natural setting here is quite impressive.”
The village was too small for the helicopter to land within its confines, so it had to touch down in a field that had been cleared after the harvest.
One by one, the passengers disembarked from the helicopter. Village Chief Yang, advanced in years and leaning on a cane, was visibly moved.
“Remember, no idle chatter later. We’ve got a VIP visiting this time.”
Old Mr. Hu could barely contain his excitement upon greeting Village Chief Yang.
“Where’s Zhao Yuegu?”
Village Chief Yang scanned the crowd of villagers and bellowed at one of them.
“He hasn’t returned since he left yesterday.”
“What?”
