Indeed, a man with long hair was already standing at the door. The man hung his head, his hair covering his face, making it impossible to see clearly. Because of the rain, the man’s hair was somewhat wet, and even his clothes were a bit damp.
Yuan Na frowned and complained.
“Li Tao, why are you so slow?”
“Forget it, it is getting late, let us go.” Yuan Na carefully picked up her limited edition LV bag and walked towards the door with a displeased expression.
The Starbucks staff finally breathed a sigh of relief, because they had already reminded the customer several times that they were closed, but that customer with the LV bag just would not leave. There were only these two people in the entire Starbucks, lingering here in the middle of the night, which also made the Starbucks staff full of anger.
When Yuan Na and Zi Yuan walked to the door, Yuan Na patted the shoulder of the man named Li Tao and said dissatisfiedly.
“What are you still standing here for?”
“For someone as dull as you, do you still want me to give you a chance?”
Zi Yuan secretly frowned. This Li Tao was a suitor of Yuan Na. Yuan Na’s methods were quite something. She would never agree, and just when Li Tao was about to give up, Yuan Na would flirt with him a bit. When Li Tao saw hope, Yuan Na would become lukewarm again. Back and forth, Li Tao was completely under Yuan Na’s control. And Li Tao happened to be an honest man. Not only was he dutiful, but he was also single minded, and could never see clearly that Yuan Na was actually just enjoying the feeling of being pursued, and would never accept him.
“Stop bullying him, let us go.” Zi Yuan could not bear to watch it anymore, so she urged.
It was just that she was also slightly puzzled. Although Li Tao was usually dull, what was wrong today? He did not even say a word? However, Zi Yuan did not pay much attention to it, assuming that Li Tao was probably just in a bad mood because he was asked to come over in the middle of the night, and Yuan Na and Zi Yuan had already walked towards the car first.
They knew Li Tao’s car, a small Buick, with the licence plate Nan A141414. This licence plate was also often mocked. It just so happened that someone was burning paper by the roadside. After all, it was the Ghost Festival, the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, and even the urban management officers could not say much, so no one came out to intervene.
Coincidentally, a gust of wind blew, and some paper ash sprinkled all over Yuan Na.
“So unlucky, my clothes are Chanel!” Yuan Na muttered dissatisfiedly.
And Li Tao had already opened the car door and walked in. Yuan Na and Zi Yuan were also preparing to open the car door, but just as Zi Yuan reached out to pull the door, a hand suddenly grabbed Zi Yuan.
“You cannot sit in this car.” Luo Chen smiled slightly, looked at Zi Yuan, and even a hint of a curve crossed the corner of his mouth.
He did not expect that the Nangling Immortal, who was usually unsmiling and famous in the immortal realm of Daluo Heaven for his killing techniques, would actually be as cute as a little girl at this moment. If Luo Chen had not known the Nangling Immortal so well in his previous life, he would probably have found it hard to associate the Nangling Immortal, who held the Sword of Years and single handedly slaughtered the saints of the Immortal Sacred Land in front of the Tianya Haige forbidden area, making their flesh and blood fly, with the ordinary girl in front of him.
It seemed that Xi Zi Yuan had also experienced some life and death tribulations, which was why she achieved the legendary reputation of an unfalling celestial!
However, with Luo Chen’s interception, Zi Yuan quickly pulled her hand back, then took two steps back and looked at Luo Chen. And Yuan Na beside her spoke with some dissatisfaction.
“Do you know each other?”
Zi Yuan quickly shook her head. When she was in the bar private room at the time, because of the lighting, she did not see clearly who was sitting inside.
“He is quite handsome.” Yuan Na glanced at Luo Chen, but she could not help feeling a bit uncomfortable inside. It was always like this, every time he went to flirt with Zi Yuan, she could only ever be the supporting character and the green leaf! So Yuan Na showed a displeased expression and said.
“Your way of hitting on girls is a bit outdated, is it not?”
“I am not here to hit on you, I am just here to tell you that you cannot sit in this car.” Luo Chen looked at Zi Yuan’s reaction and did not find it strange. After all, he and Zi Yuan did not know each other at this time, and suddenly appearing in the middle of the night would inevitably make Zi Yuan mistakenly think he was a bad person.
“Zi Yuan, do not talk to strangers too much in the middle of the night, let us go.” Yuan Na glanced sideways at Luo Chen, feeling contemptuous inside. If he wanted to hit on her, then let him, why deny it?
Without paying any more attention to Luo Chen, Yuan Na directly rushed to sit in the car. Zi Yuan wanted to go in, but Luo Chen reached out and blocked her again.
“Reason?” Zi Yuan frowned, looked at Luo Chen, she did not actually think Luo Chen was here to hit on her.
“He is not human!” Luo Chen pointed at Li Tao in the driver’s seat.
“Hmph, if he is not human, is he a ghost then?” Yuan Na, sitting in the car, snorted coldly.
“Zi Yuan, hurry up and get in the car, this person is drunk.” Yuan Na urged impatiently.
“Nana, how about we do not take his car today?” Zi Yuan suddenly changed her tune.
“Zi Yuan, what kind of madness are you following?”
“Li Tao has come all this way, and you say we are not taking it?”
“Nana, if we take his car back and Uncle Yuan sees it, he will scold you again.” Zi Yuan reminded her.
“You are not really going to not take it just because of his one sentence, are you?”
“Do not listen to his nonsense. If Li Tao is really not human, why has the amulet I bought for over ten thousand not reacted?” Yuan Na directly took out a yellow amulet.
“This was obtained from Tang Long, it has been consecrated, and it cost over ten thousand.”
“Fake.” Luo Chen did not even look at the amulet.
“Nana, let Li Tao go back early. Look at him, he looks half dead today, and it is raining in the middle of the night, so it is not very safe to drive. Let us take a taxi.” Zi Yuan frowned.
“No, this matter must be clarified today.” Yuan Na’s temper as a rich young lady flared up immediately. Yuan Na directly took out her mobile phone.
As soon as she saw Yuan Na taking out her phone, Zi Yuan hurriedly persuaded her.
“Nana, what are you doing?”
“Calling for help.”
“Hello, Tang Long, where are you?”
“I am here at the Starbucks near the station.”
“Yes, you are nearby?”
“Alright, hurry over, I have encountered a problem.” Yuan Na hung up the phone with a snap, and then looked at Luo Chen.
She was the daughter of the district mayor, having grown up pampered, and everyone had to do things her way. Today, she did not believe she could not teach Zi Yuan a lesson, and as for that stranger, she wanted to see if this person could step down gracefully when Tang Long arrived.
Zi Yuan also frowned, because Tang Long’s father dealt with both black and white affairs. Whenever they encountered something unclean or had a funeral at home, they would seek out Tang Long’s father. He was considered a relatively famous Yin Yang master in Nanling City, and Tang Long also had some connections with petty thugs in society. If he really came, who knew what kind of trouble might break out today?
Zi Yuan was preparing to open her mouth to remind Luo Chen, after all, she felt this handsome young man should not be a bad person, but she was interrupted by Yuan Na all of a sudden.
“Why do not you say something?”
“People say you are a ghost, and you do not even make a sound, truly useless!”
“And you still want to pursue me like this?”
But Li Tao, as always, did not open his mouth. Instead, less than two minutes later, a Passat drove over.
A man wearing glasses and carrying a briefcase got out, but his arms were covered in tattoos, looking very much like a gangster. He spoke with an arrogant tone right from the start.
“Who said my family’s amulet is fake?”
