140: Threatening me? Just bury it and clean it up. We are law-abiding citizens!

After the call connected, a clear and pleasant voice, like silver bells, quickly rang out:

"Senior Sister, guess what happened at my concert today?"

Yu Miaoyin's voice came from the other end of the phone, each trailing syllable slightly uplifted, sounding full of joy and happiness.

"Ah? Your concert was today?"

Luo Qingchen was momentarily stunned, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

"Yes, it was today."

Yu Miaoyin nodded vigorously on the other end of the phone; though separated by the call, it was as if one could see her lively and spirited demeanor.

Luo Qingchen's face flushed slightly, and she said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, Miaoyin. I've been really busy on my end lately and completely forgot your concert was today. I didn't go."

She genuinely felt a bit guilty. She had promised long ago but had completely forgotten due to the complex affairs of her company.

Yu Miaoyin chuckled, her laughter as warm as the spring sun:

"I knew you must be very busy, so I didn't even notify you, precisely because I was afraid you'd be distracted."

"Oh, Senior Sister, with our relationship, you don't need to apologize to me. Of course, the company is more important."

Listening to Yu Miaoyin's understanding words, Luo Qingchen felt even more guilty and quickly said,

"After I finish this busy period, I'll treat you to a big meal."

Yu Miaoyin giggled, her voice full of anticipation: "Okay, I'll start looking forward to it now."

Luo Qingchen's lips curved upward unconsciously, revealing a gentle smile, then she asked, "So what happened at your concert?"

Yu Miaoyin smiled brightly, her tone light and cheerful as she said, "I met a very interesting person. He not only cured an old ailment in my foot that I've had for years but also helped me solve a big problem at the concert. He's a really good person."

Luo Qingchen's eyebrows raised slightly, a hint of surprise appearing in her eyes, and she couldn't help but say, "Your foot ailment was cured?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Miaoyin subconsciously moved her ankle.

Her ankle was gracefully contoured, like warm, lustrous jade, fair as snow, glowing with a soft luster under the lights.

As she moved it, she smiled and said, "It's not completely healed yet, but it's close enough. Anyway, I don't feel any pain at all now. Before, this ailment always caused a dull ache, but now it's much more comfortable."

A hint of pleasant surprise flashed in Luo Qingchen's eyes, and she said with a smile,

"That's wonderful! I can't believe an ailment that even Revered Master and the others couldn't cure was healed by a stranger you just happened to meet. Junior Brother even said he'd treat you once his medical skills improved, but it seems that won't be necessary now."

Yu Miaoyin also laughed, her tone full of praise for Lu Chen:

"Yes, his medical skills are truly powerful. Not only did he cure the ailment in my foot, but he also saved someone at my concert. It's a good thing he was there, otherwise my concert wouldn't have been able to proceed normally."

Luo Qingchen raised an eyebrow, a little surprised: "Such a coincidence? Someone had an accident at your concert?"

Yu Miaoyin responded seriously: "Yes, the doctor said his heart had stopped beating. I infused a trace of Innate Qi into him, but it was no use at all. It scared me to death; I thought he wouldn't make it."

Luo Qingchen sighed, and said thoughtfully, "Revered Master was right, after all. In this world, there is always someone better, and there are many experts, especially hidden ones."

Yu Miaoyin also nodded in agreement, her tone carrying a hint of reverence:

"Yes, I didn't sense his power, but I think he must be stronger than me. Perhaps he might even have stepped into that legendary Realm."

Hearing this, Luo Qingchen's eyes also flashed with a hint of solemnity and shock, and she echoed,

"Yes, what you said is entirely possible."

Then she earnestly cautioned, "You need to be careful; be wary that the other party might have other intentions."

Yu Miaoyin smiled, saying carelessly, "Don't worry, he's my fan. This time, to see my concert, he even specifically bought a seat closest to me. What intentions could he possibly have?"

Luo Qingchen smiled and shook her head, saying earnestly, "You, you shouldn't always be so carefree. You still need to be cautious where it's due."

Yu Miaoyin smiled and obediently replied, "Okay, Senior Sister, I understand. Enough about me, let's talk about you. How's your company lately? Is it not going so smoothly?"

A hint of worry flashed in Luo Qingchen's eyes, but she quickly masked it with a smile, her tone feigning ease:

"It's alright, just some minor difficulties, but they'll be resolved soon."

Yu Miaoyin seemed to see through her pretense and smiled, shaking her head:

"Senior Sister, don't try to fool me. Don't I know you well enough? If it could really be resolved so easily, would you be so busy that you'd even forget the time of my concert?"

Luo Qingchen was silent for a moment, then gave a helpless, wry smile, saying, "Only you are so clever, alright?"

Yu Miaoyin smiled and asked with concern, "Senior Sister, is there anything I can help with?"

Luo Qingchen smiled faintly, her eyes full of doting affection: "Senior Sister can really handle it herself. You must be very tired after just finishing your concert. You should just rest properly and enjoy a few days in Yanjing City."

Hearing Luo Qingchen say this, Yu Miaoyin could only nod and say, "Alright. But I plan to develop my career in Yanjing City from now on."

Luo Qingchen was startled, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes, then she asked, "You're not going abroad anymore?"

Yu Miaoyin said firmly, "No, I'm not. Abroad is too uninteresting; home is better."

Luo Qingchen smiled gently, her eyes full of relief: "That's good too. This way, us Senior Sisters can look out for each other in the future and meet up often."

Yu Miaoyin's voice was joyful: "Mhm, mhm, that's exactly what I was thinking, hehe."

Luo Qingchen listened to the joy in the other party's voice, then suddenly smiled, her tone teasing:

"I'm afraid you're not just thinking that, are you? Is it also because of that mysterious person who helped you cure your ailment and solved your difficulties?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Miaoyin's face on the other end of the phone instantly flushed, the blush rapidly spreading from her cheeks to her earlobes, making her ears appear rosy.

She said coquettishly, "Senior Sister, there's no such thing! What nonsense are you talking about?"

Luo Qingchen smiled and said, "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. What's that person's name? Did you exchange contact information? His medical skills are so strong, perhaps we might need his help in the future. Fifth Sister would probably be very interested too; they might even be able to have an in-depth exchange."

Yu Miaoyin smiled and said, "Of course we exchanged contact information. His name is Lu Chen."

When the two words "Lu Chen" entered her ears,

Luo Qingchen was instantly stunned, a hint of shock flashing in her eyes, and she asked incredulously, "What did you say? What's his name?"

Yu Miaoyin was also startled, not understanding why her Senior Sister was so surprised, then she asked doubtfully, "Lu Chen, what's wrong?"

A cold glint and a complex expression instantly flickered across Luo Qingchen's eyes.

After a moment of silence, she forced herself to remain calm and said, "Nothing. How about you introduce us someday?"

Yu Miaoyin readily agreed: "Okay."

Then Luo Qingchen said again, "Alright, I have some things to do, so I'll hang up first. I'll call you another day."

Yu Miaoyin blinked and said obediently, "Okay, Senior Sister, goodbye then."

Luo Qingchen hummed in response before hanging up the phone.

After hanging up, the coldness in her eyes spread once more, and she murmured to herself, "Lu Chen... I hope you're not the same person..."

She slowly turned back to look at the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window. Outside, traffic flowed endlessly, and the city remained prosperous.

But her gaze was as complex as the deep night, without a single star... Meanwhile,

Lu Chen, who had already returned to Lu Family Manor, led Xun Xiaoxiao into the study.

He had already sent Chen Mengyao, Liu Ruyan, and the other three women back, leaving only Xun Xiaoxiao by his side.

As soon as they entered the study, with just a look from Lu Chen, Xun Xiaoxiao very consciously slipped into the table cavity under the desk.

At this moment,

The butler suddenly walked in with hurried steps, bowing respectfully:

"Young Revered Master, the person who played the doctor just now said he wants more money, otherwise he'll reveal what happened earlier. How do you wish to handle it...?"

Lu Chen sat down in the chair behind the desk, shook his head, and said helplessly, "Do you still need to ask me about such a thing? Just bury him."

The butler nodded, bowing his head and saying, "Yes, Young Revered Master, I understand."

Lu Chen shifted his chair, leaning his body forward slightly, and sighed, saying,

"Remember to handle it cleanly, don't let anyone find out. After all, we are law-abiding citizens."

The butler nodded respectfully again: "I understand, Young Revered Master."

Lu Chen waved his hand.

The butler, as if granted a great pardon, immediately turned and left.

Lu Chen sighed again, slightly closing his eyes, enjoying this moment of relaxation.
