Beauty and the Bodyguard

"You're not wrong!" Meng jueguang thought back and confirmed that this was indeed the case. He couldn't help but nod!

"Senior brother Meng and Junior Brother Meng Tong should have seen Lin Yi these past two days, right? Did he show any flustered or exasperated expression after realizing that he had been tricked?" Pinliang bet that Lin Yi's boss wouldn't let it show even if he found out that all twenty-five pieces of jade were useless.

Meng jueguang was stunned for a moment. He and Meng Tong carefully recalled what had happened, and then they both said excitedly,"Yeah! I didn't see him yesterday, but I did see him the day before yesterday. But it's just as junior martial brother Zhong (senior martial brother) said, this kid's behavior is normal, as if he didn't notice that those are all useless jades!"

"That's it. We can follow Junior Brother Meng Tong's plan and prepare a pile of useless Jade before sending it to him!" Pinliang said with a smile.

Meng jueguang was just about to nod, but then he hesitated and said,"But what if he already finds out that it's a useless Jade? After all, what he said just now was just speculation. That kid had always been good at pretending. The reason why he looked normal these two days was probably because he had to swallow his pride. In that case, wouldn't it be a waste to give him useless Jade?"

This guy was really not easy to fool! Pinliang's lips twitched as he thought about it. "That's simple. Let Junior Brother Meng Tong find an opportunity to sound him out. Wouldn't we know after a little probing? But then again, it's just a pile of useless Jade. Even if it doesn't work, you won't lose much, senior brother Meng!"

"You're right, junior martial brother Zhong," Meng jueguang nodded.

The other party was giving him a plan, and since he'd already said it, it'd be embarrassing if he didn't agree. He'd make it look like he couldn't afford to pay for these pieces of jade. He didn't want to lose face in front of Kang Zhaoming and Zhong pinliang! And to be honest, pinliang's idea did sound reliable and worth a try!

After the discussion, Meng jueguang arranged for Meng Tong to talk to Lin Yi. Meng Tong was going back to the seventh Kuangqu anyway, so he was on the way.

When he arrived at the seventh Kuangqu, Meng Tong's first sight was Lee Zhengming, who was busy at the center of the mining area. He could not help but feel angry.

This mine was originally a high-quality mine that Meng jueguang had specially left for him. Now that he had wasted two days in the 10th Kuangqu, it was Lee Zhengming, this scheming kid, who had taken advantage of him. Of course, he was not happy!

Although li Zhengming had been hinted by Meng jueguang to make things difficult for Lin Yi, Meng Tong had automatically ignored this sentence.

Not to mention, li Zhengming had even searched Lin Yi's body and accused him of hiding the spirit Jade the last time they tried to frame him. This was a total rebellion! Although he couldn't do anything to Lin Yi for the sake of Meng jueguang's face, he'd already held a grudge against him!

Meng Tong was a very arrogant and selfish person, so in his opinion, li Zhengming had bad intentions and wanted to replace him! He felt that even though Lee Zhengming had followed Meng jueguang, the best resources would still be given to Meng Tong first, and the rest of the inferior resources would be his turn. If he could find an opportunity to replace Meng Tong, the benefits would be self-evident!

"Hmph, just you wait, I'll teach you a lesson one day!" Meng Tong spat angrily and started looking for Lin Yi. After all, his mission was to find Lin Yi's words, and he knew the importance of this.

When he found Lin Yi, Meng Tong's bad mood was swept away. He couldn't help but gloat.

Lin Yi's mine was in the most remote corner, the kind that no one had ever visited before. There were a few empty mines near the edge, and according to past experience, the Jade yield was better than Lin Yi's current one, but he didn't have any intention of moving them. In fact, if he wanted to move out, there would be people coming to fight him for the mine until he gave up. This was Meng jueguang's order-Lin Yi could only Kuangqu at the worst spot in the seventh area.

But Lin Yi didn't mind at all-he didn't need the others to go through all that trouble, and just settled down in this most remote and worst mine, just like Lu bianren. In fact, even if the others wanted him to come out, he didn't want to come out himself. It was great that he could completely avoid the guards 'sight in the most remote mine!

"Pretentious newbie, are you busy?" Meng Tong gloated alone for a while before walking over to Lin Yi. If it had been anyone else who had come to the Kuangqu and not done their work properly, they would have definitely been taught a harsh lesson by the guards. However, Meng jueguang had specially taken care of Meng Tong, so the guards had turned a blind eye to this.

"Eh? If you have something to say, say it quickly and don't hinder me from doing my work!" Lin Yi was about to put a piece of Jade into the Jade space, but he stopped when he saw Meng Tong.

Heh, he was clearly driven to the worst mine, but his temper was quite big! However, it was normal to have a temper. Who wouldn't have a temper here? Meng Tong couldn't help but curl his lips. He organized his words and said, "It's nothing much. I just wanted to ask you if you've used all the spiritual jades that ninth cousin gave you two days ago?"

Is he testing me to see if I've found any useless Jade? Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat, but he put on a cautious face."No, it's still there. Why, are you going back on your word? Could it be that you want it back from me? I'm telling you, I'm not going back to the tenth Kuangqu, and don't even think about asking me to return these spiritual jades to you!"

"Hey! Why are you so excited? we didn't want it back, we were just asking!" Meng Tong's heart was set. He ignored Lin Yi after coming to a conclusion and turned to leave.

Lin Yi couldn't help but chuckle as he watched the guy leave. Meng jueguang actually let this brainless guy come to him for his excuses-he didn't know if he was careless or if there was a hole in his brain! It was all thanks to his cooperation. If it had been anyone else, they would have been suspicious of Meng Tong's rash words even if they had not been suspicious before!

But why had Meng jueguang sent this fellow to test him? Lin Yi went into deep thought, and shook his head after a while. Could it be that these two realized that they couldn't find any good Jade in the tenth Kuangqu area and were thinking of a way to kick him back?

Lin Yi's suspicions were quickly confirmed, and when he returned to the cave, he saw Meng jueguang and Meng Tong waiting for him.

It was the same remote corner as last time, and he saw the same black bag in Meng Tong's hands. Lin Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this scene-these two fortune boys were here to give him spiritual jades again! (To be continued.)
