Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 728 - 721: Madam V5 (Part 5)

Now, everything has become clear.

The night was deep, and Leng Yichen didn’t want to linger any longer. The police investigation had concluded for the moment. Since Old Li had injuries, he was first taken to a small hospital in the town for a check-up. As for Xiao Qiao and Mrs. Qiao, they were told to go home and wait for the police to summon them at any time.

Wang Hai looked at the sky, "Boss, it’s already dark, and the road at night is tough to navigate. Why don’t we just crash at a local inn for the night and leave tomorrow morning?"

Leng Yichen looked at Bai Yiran and, considering her health, agreed. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

He walked up to Bai Yiran and crouched down.

"What are you doing?" Bai Yiran asked.

"Get on. I’ll carry you."

Surrounded by so many people, Bai Yiran felt a bit embarrassed, "No need, I can walk by myself."

But actually, her knees hurt a lot, her waist hurt, and her arms hurt too.

Leng Yichen frowned, "There’s still a long way to the town from here. Walking isn’t practical. I wouldn’t mind carrying you in my arms, as long as you’re not afraid of embarrassment."

Bai Yiran giggled awkwardly, thinking it would be less embarrassing to be carried on his back. She was truly exhausted and couldn’t walk any longer. With a sweet smile, she crawled onto Leng Yichen’s strong back.

Leng Yichen lifted her and bounced her slightly, "Alright, you haven’t gotten any lighter."

This remark by Leng Yichen made Bai Yiran’s eyes well up again. This man could remember everything about her, including her weight.

In black suits, Wang Hai surrounded Leng Yichen and Bai Yiran, so they left the Li Family’s yard under the gaze of the villagers.

The village chief still hadn’t recovered and stood there dumbfounded until the mayor appeared in front of him with a serious expression.

"Mayor, this..."

"This what! Do you know what a mess you’ve caused!"

The village chief’s face turned pale, realizing he had gotten into trouble but not understanding the extent, "I..."

The mayor, looking stern, scolded him, "First, you sheltered villagers who illegally confined others!"

"I didn’t!" The village chief felt wronged, "I only heard that Old Li found a dumb girl to marry his son. I didn’t think much about it, and I didn’t know Old Li was bold enough to lock the poor girl up."

"So you think it’s okay if it’s a dumb girl?" the mayor retorted.

The village chief was stuck, speechless.

"And do you know that Mr. Leng is our town’s biggest charity donor? The elementary school in your village that these kids attend was built with Mr. Leng’s money, and he even paid the teachers’ salaries! Now that you’ve offended him, just wait for your village kids to be without a school to attend!"

The village chief was stunned upon hearing this. He knew the school’s construction was funded by a wealthy benefactor as part of a hope project, but he never imagined the city person he had offended was that benefactor!

"Oh my, Mayor, what should we do now! I..."

"What you?" The mayor looked at him coldly, "I think your time as village chief is over. Wait for your punishment!"

With that, the mayor waved and left. The village chief quickly chased after him, but even with all his good words, it was to no avail.

Thus, this farce ended with the villagers talking and sighing.

Leng Yichen carried Bai Yiran all the way to a hotel in the town. The owner, having heard the news, had already changed all the linens in the rooms.

Once at the hotel, Leng Yichen left the rest to Wang Hai and carried Bai Yiran directly into the room.
