I, disguised as a white dragon, was supported by the state.

When he learned that Guan Mi had been staying on the mountain all day and had rarely had contact with outsiders in the past six months, he became suspicious again.

Could this girl actually be a lesbian?

Or……

……

Yuan Run did not reveal his thoughts.

In the following days, he acted as if nothing had happened, and would greet Guan Mi warmly when they met, but he would not bring up any inappropriate topics.

He would visit the Dragon Palace every day, bringing different gifts, and behave with propriety.

Bai Lin didn't like this guy.

Zhang Yu was also not very willing to deal with Yuan Run.

"Captain Yuan seems warm and kind, but he can't hide his inherent pride at all." He said to Liu Chongyu, "It was better when Captain Lei was around. He wouldn't even mind if the meat was burnt!"

After spending half a year together, he and Liu Chongyu had become much closer.

Although he often felt that this guy was scheming and difficult to confide in, Director Liu was much more lovable than Yuan Run.

After all, Director Liu wouldn't look at me like I was some country bumpkin!

A few days ago, that guy even asked me to replace the tree in front of his door.

Does he really think he's a tree planter?

Does he fit too?

Dr. Zhang is also an extremely proud person.

He fawned over Bai Lin in a humble manner, because Bai Lin was the only dragon in the world!

He wasn't going to indulge this guy.

Liu Chongyu's impression of Yuan Run has changed considerably.

He originally thought the other party would pester Guan Mi relentlessly, but he didn't expect them to give up so quickly, and they didn't even show any dissatisfaction on the surface.

With the ability to be flexible and adaptable, coupled with a powerful background, it's easy for them to thrive in officialdom.

Listening to Zhang Yu's complaints, he laughed and said, "Captain Yuan comes from a prominent family and is arrogant. This is normal."

“But I noticed his expression when he looked at Mr. Bai and Miss Guan was a bit off,” Zhang Yu said in a low voice.

"Huh?" Liu Chongyu asked in surprise, "What's going on?"

“I’ve seen him many times in the Dragon Palace. He always paid close attention whenever Mr. Bai and Ms. Guan interacted,” Zhang Yu said.

"Pay attention?" Liu Chongyu asked.

“Yes,” Zhang Yu said, “I feel he’s paying a little too much attention!”

Liu Chongyu pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Bai is so special, it's normal for him to be a little curious."

Just as Zhang Yu was about to say that the other party was not concerned about Bai Long, Liu Chongyu said again, "We don't need to worry about this kind of thing."

Do not care?

Zhang Yu pondered the meaning behind those words.

Is it because you don't want to care about the other party's background, or is there another reason?

"Has Dr. Zhang started dating recently?" Liu Chongyu suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Zhang Yu felt a little embarrassed.

He scratched his smooth forehead and said coyly, "It's just an online relationship."

"Haha, Dr. Zhang is quite trendy," Liu Chongyu said with a laugh. "But online dating is unreliable, haven't you thought about meeting in person?"

"Yeah, we agreed to meet up in a few days when she's on vacation. She's a PhD student." Zhang Yu smiled sweetly. "She's a really nice person. She bought me a monthly subscription card, yeah, you mean, she made me spend money on in-game purchases..."

"What does she look like?" Liu Chongyu asked meaningfully.

“We agreed to keep it a secret until we meet, so we’ve only been chatting in the game and haven’t even added each other on WeChat yet,” Zhang Yu said happily. “Moreover, we value spiritual compatibility more than physical appearance.”

“Soulmates…it still has to be you cultured people,” Liu Chongyu said. “Even online dating sounds so sophisticated.”

"Haha, it's just our tacit understanding!" Zhang Yu said.

"Any progress at the lab?" Liu Chongyu changed the subject.

“Ambergris cannot be detected by any instrument. It may be a substance beyond our understanding. Its properties have been studied extensively, and there is more…” Zhang Yu explained.

After exchanging a few words, Zhang Yu took his leave.

Watching his retreating figure, Liu Chongyu hesitated, then shook his head inwardly.

"What's so fun about games?" Director Liu sighed.

……

Chapter 56 The Power of the Water Balloon

"What's so fun about games!"

Seeing Bai Long gripping the game controller, engrossed in playing the game on the screen without even glancing at him, Yuan Run secretly grumbled to himself.

He felt that the white dragon was already ruined.

It's a dragon from mythology, yet it spends all its time eating, drinking, and playing games!

Although he shouldn't think that way from his perspective, he still felt that the white dragon was now like a pig being raised in a pen.

It probably understands that it is under close surveillance, which is why it stays here obediently!

"Mr. Bai, these yellow peaches are the finest quality that I had carefully selected..." Yuan Run had all sorts of thoughts in his mind, but he didn't show them at all. Instead, he smiled and tried to sell them to everyone.

He followed the example of Zhang Yu and the others, and would come to the Dragon Palace every day to bring Bai Lin various gifts or fruits.

Having good relationships with others is certainly beneficial to oneself.

"Another one died!" Bai Lin narrowed his eyes.

Looking at the darkened screen, he felt a surge of frustration.

Turning his head, he saw Yuan Run still talking to him, but he didn't bother to respond at all and casually said, "You can leave now."

Yuan Run's words were rudely interrupted, and he cursed Bai Long inwardly for his lack of manners.

He dared not show it, and could only force a smile and say, "Okay, Mr. Bai, I'll be going now."

As he turned his head, he saw Guan Mi sitting next to Bai Lin.

She had just peeled a yellow peach and was about to offer it to the white dragon's mouth.

This scene made him feel a little jealous.

Does she really enjoy being with this beast?

Or……

"I think she's fallen for that beast!"

Now, another half month has passed since Yuan Run arrived here.

He gradually got used to the place and gained a deeper understanding of Bai Long and his partners.

The more he learned, the more he felt that Guan Mi's closeness to Bai Long was abnormal.

So, taking advantage of his free time, he rested by the stream in the mountains, throwing small stones into the water one by one, using the babbling stream in front of him as a tree hollow.

He harbored deep resentment.

Having grown up surrounded by admirers, she never expected to run into a snag with Guan Mi as soon as she arrived here.

What infuriated him most was that he had been trying to curry favor with Bai Long every day, like a lapdog, and sending him gifts every day, but that beast had never even given him a second glance.

He bravely declared that he could withstand the baptism of fire, but the white dragon casually asked him, "Aren't you really afraid of death?"

What does it mean?

Do you look down on yourself?

Does he think he's inferior to Lei Yao, who was defeated by him?

Yuan Run grew angrier and angrier, and threw the stone in his hand into the stream.

thump! thump!

The stones falling into the water made a sound.

"Bitch, they're all bitches!"

Yuan Run stared at the stones.

He wanted to vent to his friends, but he knew that the place was under close surveillance, and that revealing the existence of the White Dragon would ruin his future.

He could only vent his frustrations by looking at the stream in this secluded spot.

However, he did not notice that two figures were silently watching him from dozens of meters away.

"This guy!"

Wearing a straw hat and carrying a sapling, Zhang Yu stared at Yuan Run's back, unsure of what to say.

He glanced at Guan Mi beside him, hesitating whether he should offer a word of comfort.

The last tea tree did not satisfy Bai Lin, so Director Zhao personally arranged for another one to be transported from the south.

Guan Mi came down the mountain to retrieve it, and was spotted by Zhang Yu.

He volunteered to help, but unexpectedly stumbled upon this kind of thing on the way.

This guy was secretly badmouthing Bai Long behind his back!

Even though they were not close, Dr. Zhang was no ordinary person and heard everything clearly.

"That bestiality bitch is a perfect match for this beast!"

After finishing his last rant, Yuan Run rubbed his face, intending to compose himself and return to work.

Zhang Yu was speechless with astonishment.

Zoophilia?

This guy really dares to curse!

He glanced at Guan Mi discreetly and, seeing his gloomy expression, coughed loudly.

He was badmouthing someone behind their back, and the person in question caught him doing it.

He didn't know whether to say the guy was unlucky or deserved it.

Yuan Run seemed to hear the sound and turned his head.

However, as soon as he turned his head, he heard a cry of surprise.

what?

This was his last thought before he lost consciousness.

……

"He suffered a moderate concussion and multiple rib fractures... He just came out of the intensive care unit. The doctor said he's out of danger, but it's uncertain whether he'll suffer any long-term effects," Liu Chongyu said, holding the phone.

Director Zhao on the other end of the phone seemed unconcerned about Yuan Run's health, instead asking, "Was he injured by a water balloon?"

“Yes,” Liu Chongyu said, “Zhang Yu was right there and saw it with his own eyes. A ball of water the size of a soccer ball hit him and seriously injured him!”

"Did Xiao Guan make this?" Director Zhao asked.

“She admitted it.” Liu Chongyu said in a complicated tone.

"How is she feeling?" Director Zhao asked in a normal tone.

"She said she heard Yuan Run speaking ill of Mr. Bai and wanted to punish him, but she couldn't control herself. It's not really her fault..."

Liu Chongyu had only spoken halfway when Director Zhao interrupted him, saying, "I meant, has her anger subsided?"

"Ah, you're calmed down?" Liu Chongyu was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to his senses and hurriedly said, "Miss Guan isn't petty. If Yuan Run hadn't gone too far this time, she wouldn't have done that!"

“Yuan Run has done such a heinous thing, she has only herself to blame. Let’s see what she thinks,” Director Zhao paused, then said, “I’ll come over tomorrow.”
