Chapter 626 Tomb Raiding (2)
"She's awake. Looks like she's recovering well."
"You saved me last night."
"Otherwise what!"
"Thank you, I will repay you in the future," the boy said firmly.
"I don't think you'll need it. I only saved you because we're both Chinese."
"Anyway, I want to thank you."
"Let's eat."
Wangyou glanced at the boy. He looked to be about the same age as her, but why was he a head taller than her? He had a noble air about him, so he must have a good background.
Wangyou's mind raced for a moment before she stopped thinking about it. The world was vast, but rice was the most important thing; nothing could dampen her enthusiasm for it.
After the meal, the butler gave the boy another check-up, focusing on the arm that Wangyou had broken the night before. After learning that it was not serious, Wangyou stopped worrying about it.
"My surname is Qi, and my name is Zidane. What about you?"
"My surname is Lu, and my given name is Wangyou. You are not Han Chinese?"
"Ah."
"A remnant of the Manchu Qing dynasty, what are you doing abroad?"
“It was sent by my father and mother.”
"Coincidentally, I was also sent abroad by my parents. I originally wanted to sneak back for a while, but my parents just happened to send me a letter, telling me that I was not allowed to return to China for thirty years."
"The situation in China is very bad right now. Your parents are doing this for your own good."
"No, I think they're doing something fun and don't want to take me with them."
Zidane smiled; he didn't know if he would ever see his father and mother again in his lifetime.
"Leave as soon as you're healed."
"Can you take me in? I have nowhere to go. The house that my father and mother prepared has been forcibly occupied."
"What benefit would I get from taking you? I never do anything that doesn't benefit me."
"I'll pay you back when I get back to China."
"Alright!" Perhaps noticing the apprehension in Zidane's eyes, Wangyou agreed.
If she were just an ordinary little girl, her parents wouldn't have felt comfortable sending her abroad. Things are incredibly chaotic overseas; in fact, the whole world is in complete disarray right now. Zidane looks like an ordinary kid, but he's probably suffered a lot.
"Thank you."
And so, Zidane moved into the villa. The underground forces, who received the news the fastest, quickly passed the message among themselves, telling their underlings not to touch anyone they shouldn't, or that terrifying Eastern girl would teach them a lesson.
After investigating, one of the gangs discovered that one of their men had harassed the Asian boy and even occupied his house.
The leader immediately gave the underling a severe beating, and the next day he dragged the man to the leader's house to apologize and bring a thank-you gift.
"Should we forgive him?" Wangyou asked Zidane.
Zidane looked at Wangyou in shock. "We're both Chinese, so why did you become a big shot while I became a hoodlum?"
"Do you forgive me?" Wangyou asked again.
"I won't forgive him." Zidane knew that being soft-hearted would get him killed, and besides, he already had someone backing him up, so he was definitely not going to forgive him.
“I heard it. My brother said he won’t forgive me.”
"We'll deal with them right away." The leader was decisive, immediately dragging them out and killing them, and respectfully returning Zidane's property certificate.
"Alright, accept the gift, and you've packed up your things. Let's call it a day."
"Yes, yes, yes!" With the matter resolved, the group didn't dare linger. Before leaving, they made sure to clean up the body and bloodstains.
"You said you'd be my sister from now on." Zidane seized the opportunity and decided to rely on Wangyou, as living alone was simply too difficult.
"Yes, I said it."
"Hehe..." Zidane didn't know what he was happy about, but he was just very happy.
Later, the two also took the entrance exam for a university in the United States and studied for a few years. Wangyou would audit every class, while Zidane majored in medicine.
Over the years, the two have kept abreast of news from China, and Zidane would secretly return to China every year, and each time he returned, he would be depressed for a period of time.
Wangyou didn't ask. Everyone has a side of themselves that they can't touch, and besides, she wasn't that curious.
After Zidane turned sixteen, he started contributing to his family's household expenses. Wangyou never asked him where the money came from, because at least the underworld wouldn't dare to mess with him, and that was enough.
Over the years, Wangyou gradually established contact with her family. The news from them was always that they were all well and not to worry, so Wangyou stopped paying attention.
Over the years, they have met many Chinese students in the United States. Within their means, Wangyou is willing to protect them, otherwise these foreign schools look down on Chinese people.
Especially that little red dot, jumping around like a clown, which resulted in these people provoking others during the day and then disappearing the next day.
Wangyou set up a small laboratory in her home. She could use metaphysical methods, but she also needed to have the necessary technological means. In case the US government took action, she wouldn't have to surrender without a fight.
In 1935, Wangyou thought that thirty years had passed and she could return to China, but then she received a message from her family forbidding her from returning.
Wangyou really wants to curse. Zidane returned to China a year ago, but she kept her promise and stayed in the US for thirty years. Her appearance is forever frozen at eighteen years old. It must be hard to endure the stares of those foreigners every day.
Besides her, there's Zidane, whose age is forever frozen at eighteen. So, looking at the faces of two people who are almost forty, you would never believe their ages.
This situation also caught the attention of a foreigner who was pursuing immortality.
“Miss Lu, just tell me the secret to immortality, and you can ask for as much as you want,” Jude Kao said with a confident expression.
“First of all, you have to be Chinese. You should go and be reincarnated first,” Wangyou said without even blinking.
"This is Country M, Miss Lu. A wise person knows when to yield!"
"You're out of your mind! There's no such thing as immortality in this world. I'm just taking good care of myself. Get out of here, or I'll send you down to join your ancestors!" Wangyou slammed the teacup on the table at Qiu Dekao.
Jude Kao's head was immediately smashed open. Seeing those murderous eyes, Jude Kao dared not linger any longer and left with his men.
The following day, a shocking case broke out in the United States: prominent businessman Jude Kao was assassinated in his home, and his entire family perished.
The first person suspected was Wangyou, because when Jude Kao went to her house, he came out covered in blood and had rolled around.
But to the surprise of the M country police, the person had disappeared, as if he had vanished into thin air.
Now, it wasn't Wangyou who should be afraid. The top leadership of the United States immediately doubled their security forces, fearing that they might die a violent death at home like Jude Kao.
Where is Wangyou? She's gambling with someone in an underground casino!
