Transmigrating: I Married the Male Protagonist's Uncle

Chapter 1000: A Familiar Person

“You can’t prevent him from discovering it. Hurry up and get it back.” When Nangong Lengyu dragged her outside, she realized that Yan Yuanfei was no longer in the living room. She turned around and pointed at Ling Sheng. “You better be careful of your Second Uncle smacking you!”

“My Second Uncle… He has already realized?” Ling Sheng felt that she had done it quite covertly though. Yu Zheng had even promised her that the stuff definitely wouldn’t be discovered. He had also said that nothing would go wrong even if she stuck them on Third Master’s body.

“Let me ask you something. Where does your eldest uncle work at?” Nangong Lengyu sighed.

“The Security Bureau.” After saying that, Ling Sheng ran out in a hurry.

…

Yan Yuanfei had received a call from Lu Yubai asking him to make a trip to his place. When he went down, he saw Jiang Pei waiting outside. Upon seeing him arrive, he hurried over to welcome him.

Jiang Pei only stopped pushing the wheelchair when they were outside the building. He stood in front of him respectfully. “Second Master, Ms. Sheng Sheng installed a surveillance camera in the car. Do I need to remove it?”

Yan Yuanfei frowned. “When did she put it there?”

Jiang Pei said, “I only realized it after I sent her back. While returning from Water Moon Convent, she stopped by Young Master Zhou’s company. She probably got it from Yu Zheng.”

“Where is the display system located? Have you found it?” Yan Yuanfei let out a light sigh.

“At Water Moon Convent.” Jiang Pei could clearly feel the man’s body stiffen up all of a sudden beside him. He hurriedly said, “Second Master, I’ll remove it immediately.”

Yan Yuanfei’s emotions were in a complicated mess for a moment. Upon seeing Jiang Pei pull on the car door, he took a deep breath and called out to stop him. “There’s no need.”

When Ling Sheng got there, the car had already left.

Grandma said that Fifth Uncle had called. Second Uncle would not be staying at their house today. She scratched her head in frustration and called Yu Zheng. “Didn’t you use your head as a guarantee that they won’t be discovered?”

“You were discovered by Third Master?” Yu Zheng was shocked. Oh no, he was finished! Third Master was too much of a straight guy[1] as well. Didn’t Madam simply want to know his whereabouts? It was fine if he didn’t give him face, but he had to give Madam face!

“It’s not him. It’s someone else.” Ling Sheng squatted on the stairs by the door.

“Who is it?”

“Why do you care?!”

“Don’t tell me you’re monitoring your father!”

“…”

“My surveillance cameras were given to you specifically to monitor the Third Master, not your father. You can’t blame me for this. I told you that Third Master won’t notice. I didn’t say your father won’t notice.”

“You’re still twisting your words to argue with me!”

“What? Madam, what did you say? Ah, my signal isn’t good over here. I can’t hear you clearly. What did you say…”

Yu Zheng pulled the phone further and further away before hanging up directly. His forehead was covered in sweat. If Madam had used it to monitor Third Master, she definitely wouldn’t have been discovered. Who knew that she would use it to spy on Sixth Master Huo?

Even within China and the entire world, no one had that capability, let alone the whole capital! That person from the Rong Family is from the Security Bureau, for goodness’ sake!

The moment he hung up, he saw Huo Xuanzhou enter with a bouquet of flowers.

Huo Xuanzhou threw the flowers on the table. “These are for you.”

Yu Zheng took a glance and let out a disdainful snort. “Why would I want roses from you? Young Master Zhou, listen to my advice. There are plenty more fish in the sea. Why do you insist on looking within the Su Family? She doesn’t like you. Don’t waste your efforts.”

He had been wooing her for a few months at least. If the lady liked him, she would have agreed long ago. If she did not like him, he might not be able to get her even if he chased after her for a lifetime.

“Who said I was rejected? She’s not around,” Huo Xuanzhou sighed deeply. This was the first time he knew what it felt like to run up against a wall at his age.

“Young Master Zhou.” Yu Zheng hesitated for a while before asking, “Did Ms. Su go climb the snowy mountains?”

Huo Xuanzhou frowned. “I don’t know.”

Yu Zheng said, “I saw that she’s around the Himalayas region. Is she there on a tour or mountain climbing? Ms. Su seems to like adventurous outdoor sports a lot. She most likely went hiking!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Huo Xuanzhou pick up his clothes and rush out. He shouted in bafflement, “Young Master Zhou, we had agreed to debug the server. Where are you going?”

Huo Xuanzhou answered without even turning his head around, “She’s afraid of the cold!”

Yu Zheng sighed deeply. Sigh, spring was the season of love. Look at each and every one of them. They’re all in pairs. They’re tormenting him, a bachelor!

The next afternoon, Ling Sheng received a notice. She had passed the audition and it was confirmed that she was the female lead. However, before the movie started, the relevant actors would have to undergo a month of professional training.

When she received the call, she was shopping with Su Yi. The China International Film Festival would be held at the end of the month. As one of the nominees for the Best Supporting Actress, she was invited.

“Sister Su Yi, you’ve been taught well by my Fifth Uncle!” Ling Sheng spun around in circles in front of the mirror happily. “You look really nice!”

“You’re beautiful. You look good in anything.” Su Yi adjusted the tassels on her dress and smiled. “Didn’t you hear that how well fashion is pulled off relies on one’s good looks?”

“Who said that?” Ling Sheng moved closer to her and grinned. “My Fifth Uncle said that, right?!”

“I came out to shop and choose clothes with you out of goodwill. But you keep laughing at me!” Su Yi pretended to be angry as she reached out to pinch the tender flesh on her waist. “Laugh! I’ll make you laugh to your heart’s content!”

This brat had been talking about Fifth Uncle ever since they met. The one who is accompanying her to shop is her, not her Fifth Uncle.

“Fifth Aunt, you’re my elder too! You’re bullying me!” Ling Sheng wrinkled her nose, bit her lips, and looked about to cry. She touched her waist. “It hurts. It hurts so much.”

Upon seeing her cry out in pain, Su Yi hurriedly rubbed her wound suspiciously. She became nervous. “Did I use too much strength? Let’s see if you’ll still spout rubbish.”

Ling Sheng let out a low cough. When she saw that the nervous person in front of her had fallen for her act, she let out a laugh.

Su Yi just knew that she had been tricked again. She pinched her face and said angrily, “If you mess with me again, let’s see if I’ll come out with you again the next time. I’ll let you shop and choose your clothes on your own!”

“Okay, okay, I’ll stop here.” Ling Sheng tugged at her arm and acted like a spoiled child. “I was wrong. Don’t be angry. I was just joking. Smile~”

Su Yi was so angry that she laughed. How could she be angry with her? If she did, she would have been angered to death by her a long time ago. “You shouldn’t wear this gown. It cramps your style. When the time comes, your mom, dad, Fifth Uncle, and even your neighbor will fight with one another to send you gowns and accessories.”

“You’re thinking too much,” Ling Sheng sighed deeply and looked at the little fairy in the mirror. Oh my, how can I look so good? “I’m someone who’s striving for self-reliance. How can I always rely on others?”

As soon as Ling Sheng finished speaking, she suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure in the mirror. Her eyes darkened abruptly as she put on her mask and sunglasses quickly before turning around to chase after the person.

“My little ancestor[2], where are you going?!” Upon seeing her run two steps forward before stripping and throwing her high heels on the ground, Su Yi turned around and chased after her.
