11: Hidden Guard
"Your Highness, my name is Yin Zong."
Like his name, this person could fade his own existence; his greatest skill was concealing tracks.
"Your Highness, my name is Yin Xu."
With similar skills to Yin Zong, he was a hider within ruins; no matter how complex the environment was, he could hide very well.
"Your Highness..."
"Your Highness..."
After all ten people had finished introducing themselves, each person's name expressed their specific skill.
"Yin Feng, fly the plane to this address. Take this black card.
All your expenses will be covered by it; just say the word if it runs out."
Gao Ying gave him the black card she had prepared long ago and sent him the address of the villa.
"Yes, Your Highness." Yin Feng took the card from her hand, his expression remaining as cold and stern as ever.
Yin Feng left first, taking three people with him.
The remaining seven people were responsible for protecting Gao Ying.
"Beautiful and noble Your Highness, please!"
Arriving downstairs, the hotel car was already prepared.
The seventh, Yin Ren, ran over first to open the car door, smiling so brightly at Gao Ying.
"Can you please not call me Your Highness? It's socially awkward." Feeling the gazes of passersby, Gao Ying quickly got into the car.
When they were in the room, it was just the few of them with no outsiders, so she didn't feel it, but now, hearing this title, why was it actually so embarrassing?
"Very well, Your Highness." Yin Ren's reply earned him an eye roll from the person in question.
"Little Seven!" Yin Lin cast a glance at him.
Yin Ren immediately returned to a serious demeanor, not daring to be presumptuous.
"Please forgive me, Your Highness; Little Seven has a rather lively personality." Yin Lin looked at Gao Ying with a gentle gaze as he explained.
"It's fine, his personality is quite good." Being watched by his gaze, Gao Ying felt her heartbeat becoming somewhat uncontrollable.
Yin Lin was just like a big brother next door, with a very gentle personality.
[Big Sister, do you like someone like Yin Lin? If so, you can claim him.]
Gao Ying was drinking water to hide her embarrassment when Fugui suddenly popped out with those words, startling her into choking.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!"
Seeing this, Yin Lin sat beside her and gently patted her back.
"I'm much better now, thank you."
After recovering, Gao Ying thanked him.
"Your Highness, you don't need to be so polite with me; it's my fault for not taking good care of you." There was apology in Yin Lin's eyes.
"It's not your fault; it was Fugui who suddenly spoke up and startled me." Gao Ying couldn't bear to see a handsome man sad, so she had to pin the blame on Fugui.
Fugui: ...
Fugui: Big Sister, are you prioritizing looks over your system???
Yin Lin's hand, which was patting her back, paused. His tone was full of apology: "Your Highness, I'm sorry, I cannot help you deal with him."
"No, don't, there's no need. Fugui is great; you don't need to deal with him." Gao Ying was quite frightened by his words.
Fortunately, Androids could not harm the system, otherwise Fugui would be in for a miserable time.
"Your Highness, that system is so annoying. Every time, it forcefully takes us back to the mall, turning us into machines without consciousness." Yin Ren started complaining as soon as he heard about the system.
[Big Sister, don't listen to his nonsense. Actually, they can choose for themselves. When the host reaches the end of their life, they can choose to grow old with the host.
They can also choose to return to the mall, erase their memories, and start the next life.]
Fugui didn't want to be the scapegoat and directly exposed Yin Ren.
"Slap!"
"You brat, your skin is itching for a beating. When today's itinerary is over, I want to see how your skills are practicing." Yin Lin directly slapped him.
"I was wrong, Your Highness. Yin Lin will really go for the kill. Can you please plead for me?" Yin Ren acted cute and spoiled towards Gao Ying.
"Alright, A Lin is probably just trying to scare you. However, I am quite curious to see you two spar." Gao Ying was indeed quite curious about them.
"Sure, when today's matters are finished, we will spar for you to see." Yin Lin would not refuse her request.
What Gao Ying didn't know was that shortly after they left...
The bosses of Cloud Garden and Lan Ting arrived at the hotel.
"Two Chairmen, you are late. Miss Gao has already left with her people." The hotel general manager came forward to inform them upon seeing them.
"Are you sure there was an Ice Crystal Blue Lotus carved on that private plane?"
https://img.wtr-lab.com/cdn/series/ZDLkopyaes-lC_1SQHHhIIaRaYuDTEAhiB4fmnkcHBE.jpeg"Yes, this is the picture I took at the time." The general manager showed the photo he took to the two bosses.
"It's real. Why would they come out of seclusion?" The boss of Cloud Garden was baffled.
Logically, this family hadn't come out of seclusion for a hundred years; they only knew about this family because they saw information left by the older generation.
"It must be related to that girl. Although I don't know that girl's status in that family, it shouldn't be simple. It seems the winds of change are coming to Jiangcheng." The boss of Lan Ting looked at the emblem on the photo, deep in thought.
When Gao Ying and her group arrived at the villa, Li Qian and Zhao Jiankang were already waiting there.
"Your Highness, please step out." Yin Ren opened the car door and reached out his hand, preparing to welcome Gao Ying out.
Just then, a large hand with distinct knuckles reached out from the car and rested on his hand to step down.
"Yin Lin, you dog of a man, can't you get out by yourself? I'm the one here to welcome Her Highness."
Seeing who had come down, Yin Ren was so angry he stomped his feet.
Yin Lin just gave him a faint glance, and Yin Ren immediately didn't dare to act out, standing there obediently.
Yin Lin reached out toward the car door, and Gao Ying rested her hand on his to step down.
"Your Highness, Yin Lin is bullying me~" Yin Ren took small steps over to her side to complain.
"Wait until the house is bought, and I'll take you to the mall to buy things. There are quite a few delicious things inside that you should be interested in." Gao Ying looked at his aggrieved appearance and wanted to reach out to pat his head.
However, after reaching out, she realized there was a height difference between the two of them; she had to stand on tiptoes if she wanted to pat his hair.
Yin Ren was a clever little devil; seeing her intention, he slightly bent over so she could pat his hair smoothly.
Gao Ying didn't disappoint his expectations either, reaching out with both hands to mess up his hair.
"Haha, so cute."
Arriving inside the villa, Zhao Jiankang showed her the property purchase contract.
"A Lin, you take a look at this. If there's no problem, just sign it for me." Gao Ying gave the contract directly to him to look at.
Yin Lin took the contract and began to read it.
Yang Pei also arrived at the villa at this time.
"Miss, this is the procurement list, please take a look."
"Hmm, by the way, Sister Yang, I bought a building. When the time comes, pick a unit to use as a dormitory." Gao Ying took it, glanced at it, and put it on the table.
Although Yang Pei knew this young lady was extravagant, she was still startled.
"Miss, are you saying you bought a building in Cloud Garden as an employee dormitory?"
"Yeah, what's wrong? Don't you like it? Then where do you like houses? I'll go buy one there." Gao Ying thought she didn't like it and asked curiously.
"No, it's not that. I like it very much. Houses in Cloud Garden are what many people dream of; how could I not like it?" Yang Pei knew she was serious.
As long as she said she liked somewhere else, based on this young lady's personality, she would definitely go buy it.
"I'm glad you like it. By the way, Yin Feng, I'm planning to open a charity organization; you go handle this."
When she learned about merit points, Gao Ying had been thinking about this. She was originally worried about not having enough manpower, but now that the system had sent people over, didn't that just solve her predicament?
