The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

"What's wrong with you going crazy as soon as you get back!"

Grabbing Liang Kai's wrist, Liang Hongyun's face darkened, and she threw him aside.

"I……"

Liang Kai opened his mouth, pointing at Lu Yuan with a look of disgust.

"What is he doing here!"

"I bought some medicine from Xiao Lu the day before yesterday, and he came to visit me today."

"Buy medicine?"

Liang Kai was taken aback, then breathed a sigh of relief, before frowning and saying something.

"Mom, don't buy the medicine from him."

"Heh, wasn't it you who introduced him before, saying he was your old classmate?"

"The situation is different now. He's a piece of trash anyway, why let him make this money? Mom, you should return the money to him right now!"

"It's none of your business how I conduct myself."

Liang Hongyun snorted coldly, then turned to Lu Yuan.

"Xiao Lu, you should go home first today. I'll treat you to a meal another day, and you can take good care of me then."

"Okay, Sister Hong."

Lu Yuan nodded and turned to leave.

"Pah! Trash!"

After glancing at Lu Yuan's back, Liang Kai spat and then turned to Liang Hongyun.

"Mom, give me some money."

"You disappear for ten days or half a month, and the first thing you do when you come back is ask for money. How much do you want this time!"

One million.

"You just casually ask for a million? Do you know how much money your mother risked her life for? I always told you to focus on your cultivation, but all you do is indulge in pleasure. I've poured so many resources into you..."

"Three hundred thousand isn't enough!"

That's all! Not a single penny more!

……

One million?

Hearing the argument between the mother and son behind him, Lu Yuan had a sudden thought. What a coincidence! Just enough to buy a bottle of the latest Star Glory Blood Enhancement Potion from the black market.

However, whether Liang Kai wanted the money to buy enhancement potions, or whether he would give them to Su Tiantian, was no longer Lu Yuan's concern, and he couldn't be bothered to think about it.

On the way out of the residential area, I used the 300,000 yuan I had just received to order all the materials for making the potion.

As a top student majoring in pharmacy, I already have some basic refining equipment at home, so I don't need to spend money on that.

The next day, Lu Yuan went to work as usual.

"Xiao Lu, come to my office for a moment."

Near the end of the workday, Zhao Mingcheng suddenly called him to his office again.

Liang Hongyun's matter has been resolved, so why are you looking for him again?

"Great job, Xiao Lu. I knew I hadn't misjudged you."

Zhao Mingcheng gestured for Lu Yuan to sit down, a lewd smile on his face.

"They say that at thirty you're like a wolf, at forty like a tiger, and at fifty you can suck up the soil from the ground. You've managed to win over Liang Hongyun, this parched land, in just a few moves. You're really something."

"I was just doing my job. If there was nothing else, I went to work."

Lu Yuan was too lazy to argue with Zhao Mingcheng, and then got up.

"Young people are just impatient. Why would I bother you if there's nothing wrong with me?"

Zhao Mingcheng straightened his face and gestured for Lu Yuan to sit down.

He took out half a pack of cigarettes from the drawer and offered it to Lu Yuan, but Lu Yuan ignored him. Zhao Mingcheng smiled, picked up a cigarette himself, and lit it.

He took a few puffs, then crushed most of the cigarette in the ashtray before speaking.

"I have something for you to do."

"If it's a work-related matter, I'll do my best."

"It's not really related to work, but handling this well is more valuable than signing hundreds of deals!"

Zhao Mingcheng looked around cautiously with a serious expression before speaking.

"Next, you need to appease Liang Hongyun, then find out all the details about her situation and report back to me."

"Liang Hongyun's situation? What's wrong?"

Lu Yuan frowned, a vague sense of unease creeping in.

"For example, her cultivation progress, her physical condition, and most importantly, the time and place of her next trip out of the city, what kind of people and equipment she'll be taking—find out all of this in as much detail as possible!"

Zhao Mingcheng leaned forward slightly and lowered his voice considerably.

"Once this is done, I'll promote you to supervisor!"

"What you've said..."

Lu Yuan frowned, and his expression became serious.

If it were just about selling medicine, all he needed to do was know Liang Hongyun's preferences and cater to them. But Zhao Mingcheng asked him to find out about Liang Hongyun's next trip out of the city.

This has little to do with drug sales; it's more like someone is trying to get Liang Hongyun!

Once this information is clearly obtained, the other party can make targeted arrangements.

Liang Hongyun is in danger!

Upon realizing this, Lu Yuan's expression changed drastically.

"I won't do it!"

Liang Hongyun treated him well; how could he repay kindness with enmity?

Most importantly, this is too dangerous.

If he schemes against a Seven-Star General and is exposed, even if Liang Hongyu doesn't kill him, according to the law, he'll be imprisoned for life.

"Not doing it? Ha."

Zhao Mingcheng glanced at Lu Yuan and smiled slightly.

"You're just a young man who hasn't been out of school long enough to understand society. Morality and such are worthless. Let me tell you, money and power are the real deal! Here's what we'll do: if you handle this matter well, in addition to promoting you to supervisor, I'll give you a million-dollar bonus."

"I said I won't do it!"

Lu Yuan snorted coldly, his attitude resolute.

The higher the price offered, the more important the matter is, and the greater the risk involved!

"Damn it! They won't listen to reason, so they'll have to suffer the consequences!"

Zhao Mingcheng's face immediately darkened, and his gaze suddenly turned cold.

"You think I'm discussing this with you, you idiot! You already know about this, whether you do it or not is not up to you! You either do it right, or you're dead!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan fell silent for a moment.

Besides a million-dollar bribe, they also dared to guarantee him a promotion to supervisor—something Zhao Mingcheng certainly couldn't do. Even a fool would know that Zhao Mingcheng had no power to deal with Liang Hongyun.

In other words, there is someone else behind Zhao Mingcheng.

A warrior who opens his meridians, a star core warrior!

Warriors are powerful beings who are even stronger than ordinary martial artists.

Liang Hongyun is a Seven-Star Warrior. Anyone who dares to attack Liang Hongyun must be at least on the same level as her!

It's perfectly reasonable for a mid-to-high-level general to treat Zhao Mingcheng like a dog.

Zhao Mingcheng is right.

If Lu Yuan refuses, they will either be friends or enemies, and the other party may very well kill him to silence him!

For a mid-to-high-level general like Lu Yuan, killing him would be no different than crushing an ant.

Thinking of this, a chilling coldness welled up from the depths of my heart.

"……All right."

After a moment's thought, Lu Yuan nodded.

He had no choice but to agree, as he would die if he refused.

Fortunately, Liang Hongyun is injured and should not leave the city for a while. Besides, the time and place when a martial artist leaves the city are confidential and not easy to find out.

In other words, even if he agrees now, Lu Yuan still has some buffer time.

Regardless, we should agree to save our lives first, and then discuss the specifics of what to do next later.

"That's right."

Seeing Lu Yuan agree, Zhao Mingcheng smiled, but then his expression darkened.

"Remember this: don't try anything funny or engage in double-dealing, or you'll suffer a terrible fate!"

"understood."

Lu Yuan responded and got up to leave.

Stepping out of the office, Lu Yuan took a deep breath, still feeling a sense of panic. He had inexplicably been dragged into a huge mess.

……

……

"We've finally arrived!"

A few days later, all the medicine materials that Lu Yuan ordered online arrived.

Lu Yuan asked Zhao Mingcheng for leave, citing the need to deepen his relationship with Liang Hongyun as the reason.

The doors and windows were closed tightly, the curtains were drawn, and the equipment that had been cleaned and dried was taken out to begin refining the medicine.
