Chapter 41  : You Can’t Leave!

Lu Chen looked at Liu Changping. He began to understand the reason for the organization taking a fancy to his potential value.

That was why they had paid such a huge price to get him here.

After much consideration, he decided to cooperate with what Liu Changping had requested for, or rather, to cooperate with the entire Dragon Country!

He could foresee that in the future, he would definitely not be fighting against an individual opponent, but against various forces, or even countries!

Under such circumstances, with the Dragon Country backing him up, it would be much more convenient for him to do anything as he pleases to.

Lu Chen looked at Liu Changping and nodded. “Okay, I will join your forces.”

When Liu Changping heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief out loud and smiled.

He had been worried that with Lu Chen’s strong characteristics and solo personality, he was more or less an unpredictable candidate. It would not have been so easy to convince him in joining the Dragon Team. To his surprise, everything went unexpectedly well.

He quickly reached out a hand and said, “On behalf of the organization, I shall wholeheartedly welcome you! From now on, you are one of the members of our Dragon Tea. 9875, this shall be your number.

After shaking hands with Lu Chen, Liu Changping took out a gold card from his pocket with a smile. On it was the logo of a dragon and a series of unique numbers.

“This card can be used to withdraw 100 million dollars from the bank, and it has access to certain hidden places. Ordinary institutions will give you clearance once you show them this card.

“Don’t worry. Although we’re an organization of the Dragon Country, it wouldn’t feel too restrictive in terms of your own personal freedom.”

Lu Chen nodded and took the card. He knew that this card was a symbol of identifying oneself as a Dragon Team member. Most issues in Dragon Country could be solved with one look at this card. After all, the status of this long-standing organization was not unknown.

After Liu Changping gave some simple instructions, Lu Chen was arranged to live in a residence in the Dragon Country building.

Once he reached the room, Lu Chen’s eyes widened as he looked at Liu Yuan who was in front of him.

“Liu Yuan, didn’t we agree that there won’t be any restrictions on freedom?”

On the other bed, a fair-skinned and beautiful woman could be seen sitting comfortably on it.

“Do you think I want you to stay here either?”

“Isn’t it to ensure my safety?”

“It’s not like you don’t know that the Xiao family has sent people to kill you, you need to be protected and you know that.”

Liu Yuan quickly retorted.

Protecting Lu Chen was actually one of the missions. The higher-ups had also instructed that Lu Chen must join the Dragon Team, even so, he would still have a probation period being on the team. Therefore, her mission had not ended here in protecting him!

Lu Chen smiled helplessly and said, “Liu Yuan, there are differences between men and women when it comes to lifestyles. Can’t you just stay next door? Also, I can’t stay here forever, right? When the time comes, I’ll definitely move to other places. Would that mean that you’ll be coming with me too?”

When Liu Yuan heard this, she pointed at Lan Weiwei and said, “If there are differences between men and women, then what is she? Don’t worry. The organization will arrange a place for you to stay, or you can find one yourself. It’s up to you honestly.

“But from now on, I will be your personal bodyguard and shall be responsible for your safety. This is not restricting your freedom in doing as you please, understand?”

Lu Chen felt an oncoming headache. Behind him, Lan Weiwei was lying on the bed, hiding behind his shoulder, revealing half of her face.

“Weiwei is my sister, how can this be the same as what I mentioned? As for protection, you saw the battle with the Xiao family. I’m pretty sure when it came to protecting it was the other way around!

“So you’ll be following me wherever I go. If this isn’t a surveillance restriction to freedom, what is it?

“If that’s the case, I’d rather not join the Dragon Team. There are so many experts in Dragon Country anyway. They don’t necessarily need me. The scroll is in my hands. It’s not that I don’t want the people of the Dragon Country to lose. If you want to go to the White Fog City, I can hand over the scroll to you guys.”

Lu Chen spread his hands and said.

Liu Yuan was a little flustered by what he said. She knew Lu Chen’s situation clearly. It basically felt like a death order being given to him by the higher-ups.

The entry of the Dragon Team was actually very strict, prim, and proper.

However, this time, it was an exception for Lu Chen!

Therefore, it was very important to understand Lu Chen’s characteristics and personality in all aspects. However, if Lu Chen was forced to leave just like that, it would be even more unacceptable for the organization.

She knew very well how much the Dragon Country valued this matter!

Lu Chen was now a national treasure and even a glimmer of hope for the Dragon Country’s future!

She gritted her teeth and said, “Don’t think that I don’t know what’s actually going on.

“You’re an orphan, to begin with, we all know this. Where did your ‘sister’ actually come from!

“I’ve wanted to ask you for a long time. What’s her background and history?

“If it weren’t for them giving you an exception in many things, she would’ve never been allowed to enter the Dragon Country building at all.

“Also, I... I just need to keep an eye on you, not that I want to follow you around.”

Lu Chen had already expected that the Dragon Team would investigate his background, so he was not surprised by Liu Yuan’s words.

As for Lan Weiwei’s identity, there was no trace of her in this world, to begin with. Even if he said that he randomly picked her up, they would be able to at least find out a little bit about the younger girl. However, the young girl was basically a Jane Doe to them and he had no plans on letting them know who she was.

Moreover, he really did not want someone to follow him around every day. Hence, he looked at Liu Yuan coldly and spoke harshly.

“Alright, I knew that that would’ve happened anyways. Whatever freedom I was given was basically a lie.

“All aspects of the investigation, surveillance, and restricting my daily life would’ve happened sooner or later.

“You’re right. I’m an orphan, and Weiwei isn’t my biological sister. She was picked up by the roadside. Dear neighbor, are you satisfied now?”

As he spoke, he threw his number gold card directly to Liu Yuan.

“Take this card back and tell your boss that I’m not staying here anymore.

“You’ve been following me all this while, and yet you still say that you’re not spying on me.

“Weiwei, let’s go!”

As he spoke, he was about to take his leave.

This time, Liu Yuan turned completely anxious.

She immediately said, “You... You can’t leave! I... I’m really not spying on you per se.”

Her mind was blank and she could not find any other excuses. If she let Lu Chen leave now, then she would be a sinner. All sorts of thoughts flashed through Liu Yuan’s mind. In her flustered state, she actually blurted out.

“I followed you because I like you!”

The moment she said that she was stunned and her face flushed red!

She was shocked, how could she say something like that.

Her words, coupled with Liu Yuan’s anxious and red face, were really quite believable.

Lu Chen was slightly stunned and then shook his head.

“Stop joking, you’re just lying as a cover-up. Aren’t you just trying to...”

Seeing that he did not believe her, Liu Yuan was so anxious that she was about to pull the hair out of her head, so she simply prepared her heart for something that she would be doing next.

She directly took a step towards Lu Chen.

In the end, she lost her footing and directly pressed onto Lu Chen’s body. Her lips lightly touched.

The two people’s minds went blank when they collided.

Lu Chen had not expected this at all.

As for Liu Yuan, that was her first kiss!

She suppressed the shyness in her heart and fiercely hung on to Lu Chen.

She pretended to be calm and stood up.

“How is it? Did this reassure your thoughts?”

Lu Chen looked at the bright red beauty in front of him and nodded blankly.

“Here, I’ll return the gold card back to you. I... I need to go out and get some fresh air.”

After saying that, she walked out, dazed.
