Among this group of young men and women,

Lai Yu Yao’s personality was an open book; many knew her inside and out.

Her willful, arrogant, and domineering nature,

was like a raging, uncontrolled flame, lashing out wantonly before everyone,

leaving scorch marks, deep or shallow, wherever she went.

She always spoke her mind directly, like a gleaming double-edged sword,

with not a hint of tact. Her words often stabbed at others unintentionally,

hurting them and sometimes backfiring on herself.

The strange looks from those around her were like a dense thicket of needles, and their hushed discussions

were like buzzing flies swarming around Lai Yu Yao.

How could she not have noticed?

Her heart was pounding anxiously.

A sense of awkwardness began to spread through her,

as if she were a clever fox whose simple trick had been seen through at a glance.

The feeling was beyond uncomfortable.

However, her face was like a perfectly crafted mask,

showing no cracks. Her expression was maintained just right,

and no one could discern the slightest flicker of emotion.

In reality, Lai Yu Yao was perfectly clear about the situation.

When it came to trivial matters that didn’t really matter,

she deliberately disguised herself as a willful and spoiled young lady.

It was like carefully donning a suit of spiked armor.

This armor seemed to keep everyone at arm’s length,

but it also cleverly helped her avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble,

making those with ill intentions or who wanted to use her shrink back in discouragement.

In fact, she wasn’t the kind of arrogant rich kid who didn’t know her own limits.

That was merely her protective coloration, just a disguise.

Sun Canxing stood quietly to the side, her brow slightly furrowed, her eyes glinting with a thoughtful light.

She seemed to have figured out the reason for such a drastic change in Lai Yu Yao’s attitude.

’She must have learned the true identity of this mysterious VIP, Chu He.’

Sun Canxing mused to herself, a faint, bitter smile touching her lips.

So, even a top-tier rich kid like Lai Yu Yao, someone usually as imperious and proud as a Queen,

would, in the face of status and power as truly immense as a towering mountain,

become as meek as a lamb, obediently lowering her head and retracting her claws.

This dramatic scene was like a stone tossed into a calm lake,

sending a thousand ripples through Sun Canxing’s heart.

A scorching flame seemed to ignite in the depths of her pupils.

The flame’s heat was like a wildfire, with an unstoppable momentum,

slowly burning and spreading in her eyes, as if it would consume her very soul.

In her eyes, this was the future she dreamed of.

To possess awe-inspiring power and status, to become a figure like Chu He, looked up to by all.

”You can.”

Chu He’s reply was simple and direct, without a hint of hesitation,

as if he had long expected Lai Yu Yao to make this request.

With a slight nod, he directly agreed to Lai Yu Yao’s request to sneak into the village with him.

”Miss Lai, you can’t!”

Yu Yingjie’s voice suddenly rang out, hoarse with anxiety.

His brows were knitted tightly, his eyes filled with worry and urgency. ”The village is definitely full of danger. If you rashly go back in now,”

”even I can’t guarantee your safety!”

Yu Yingjie had been hand-picked by Lai Yu Yao’s father after a rigorous selection process.

The responsibility he shouldered was heavier than Mount Tai.

He had only one mission: to act as the guardian of a priceless treasure,

and protect Lai Yu Yao’s safety in every possible way.

In his world, Lai Yu Yao’s safety was his everything.

If there was any sign of trouble, even the slightest anomaly,

or if a danger he couldn’t handle was quietly approaching,

Yu Yingjie had the authority to directly mobilize the local Defense Team in Haitong City.

And that was just the first line of defense.

If the situation became critical, Lai Yu Yao’s father would immediately dispatch other experts,

who would rush in to reinforce them like a divine army from the heavens.

Yu Yingjie was perfectly aware,

he knew very well that the only reason he possessed such great authority

was for one reason only: Lai Yu Yao was invaluable.

She was like a delicate flower that could not be damaged in the slightest.

Her safety was of the utmost importance and could not be threatened in any way,

not even a single hair on her head!

”It’s fine. I’m going with him. He’ll protect me.”

Lai Yu Yao said, pointing to Chu He with a confident look in her eyes.

She almost laughed to herself; it was like hearing the world’s biggest joke.

’If even Chu He can’t protect me, then in this vast, boundless world,’

’where could I possibly find a safe place?’

’It’s like being a lone boat on the ocean.’

’If Chu He is the impregnable harbor,’

’everywhere else is just a dangerous shoal in a raging storm.’

However, Lai Yu Yao also understood

that Yu Yingjie didn’t know Chu He’s true identity,

which was why he was so worried, running around like a headless chicken.

”How can this be?”

Yu Yingjie was truly frantic now.

Large beads of sweat instantly formed on his forehead and trickled down his cheeks.

He could see that Lai Yu Yao had made up her mind; her gaze was as firm as a rock.
