Yu Daochen's interest was piqued. The sect leader of the Yan Shu Sect was indeed as mysterious as the rumors suggested, not even showing his face for such a significant event as appointing a sect elder.
This made Yu Daochen even more curious about who this Yan Shu sect leader truly was.
Remembering where Zhang Xiaoqiang was headed, Yu Daochen spoke again, "You're notifying me at this late hour. The place you're going to shouldn't be too far, right?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang nodded, "That's right. It's about a two-hour drive."
Yu Daochen nodded, looking troubled. "But at this late hour, even Didi won't pick us up. How will we get there? Should we ask Da Hu for help?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang shook his head. "The sect leader instructed that this is to be kept secret. Besides, there's no benefit for Da Hu to know."
Yu Daochen nodded, then gave him a sidelong glance. "So, you mean I can be bossed around as I please?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang chuckled. "What are you saying? Between you and me, what's the difference?"
Yu Daochen was speechless. "Fine, so how do we get there? Are we walking?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at Yu Daochen slyly. "With Young Master Yu's connections, finding a car shouldn't be a problem."
Yu Daochen glared at him, annoyed. "Do you think I'm omnipotent? I don't have any friends here either."
As soon as Yu Daochen finished speaking, he suddenly thought of someone, but then he shook his head.
Seeing Yu Daochen nod and then shake his head, Zhang Xiaoqiang asked, "Young Master Yu, do you have a way?"
Yu Daochen reluctantly took out his phone and scrolled to a number. "Let me say this first, I'm not sure if she's left yet."
With that, Yu Daochen found a number and dialed it.
Ring, ring, ring.
The call was answered after a long time.
"Hello, Idol, what can I do for you?" a voice came from the other end of the phone, a woman yawning, clearly having been asleep.
Yu Daochen coughed dryly, feeling a bit awkward. "Have you returned to Jiangdu? If not, could you trouble yourself to take me somewhere?"
Upon hearing this, Ma Dan Na on the other end of the line immediately perked up. "I haven't gone back yet. I'll come pick you up, Idol."
Yu Daochen told her the hotel name, and Ma Dan Na agreed before hanging up.
Zhang Xiaoqiang, who had been listening to the woman's voice on the phone, looked curious. "Holy crap, Young Master Yu, with your personality, can you even pick up girls?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang was skeptical. With Yu Daochen's personality, if there were five female numbers on his phone, he would eat his shoes.
What was this sudden woman all about?
Yu Daochen rolled his eyes. "Get lost! With my looks, picking up girls is a piece of cake."
Yu Daochen then explained the whole story.
Zhang Xiaoqiang nodded. "I knew it. If you could pick up girls, how could I not know? But from your tone, is that girl's driving really as crazy as you say?"
Yu Daochen chuckled. "You'll know soon enough."
The two waited at the hotel entrance for about twenty minutes when a white sedan, covered in dust, drove up and stopped steadily in front of them.
Ma Dan Na rolled down the window, a smile on her face. "Idol, I'm here."
Yu Daochen looked at Ma Dan Na's attire and realized she had clearly been woken up from sleep.
Yu Daochen rubbed the back of his head, feeling a bit embarrassed. "Sorry to trouble you. You have to drive out this late."
Ma Dan Na shook her head. "I was worried I wouldn't have a way to account for myself."
Yu Daochen was confused. "Account for yourself?"
Ma Dan Na looked embarrassed. "Young Master Yu, it's better if you get in first."
Yu Daochen nodded, opened the passenger door, and got in. Zhang Xiaoqiang opened the rear door and got in.
In the car, Ma Dan Na began to explain. "It's like this."
"After I dropped you off that day, I should have gone back. But the Fengtian Assembly is held so rarely, so I lied and said you still needed me to drive you back, and that I wanted to watch the competition.
"I had planned to tell you about this, but I didn't know how to bring it up."
After listening, Yu Daochen understood. So, this little girl Ma Dan Na was using his name for a paid vacation.
However, Yu Daochen didn't blame her. After all, Biao Tao had cheated him so many times. It didn't affect him, so he might as well consider it a favor.
Yu Daochen said, "It's fine, Biao Tao has plenty of money."
Seeing that Yu Daochen wasn't blaming her, Ma Dan Na said happily, "Then I'll take you back after the assembly."
Upon hearing this, Yu Daochen swallowed and muttered to himself.
If he had to ride in her car again, he might really develop car phobia.
He was young, he didn't want to die prematurely.
Yu Daochen found an excuse to refuse. "Uh, after the assembly, I might have some other things to deal with, so I won't be returning to Jiangdu yet."
Zhang Xiaoqiang behind him looked confused. He hadn't heard Young Master Yu mention any other matters.
Yu. Just as Zhang Xiaoqiang was about to ask, he saw Yu Daochen turn and glare at him fiercely.
Zhang Xiaoqiang immediately understood what he meant and swallowed the words that were about to come out.
Ma Dan Na didn't notice their odd behavior and continued, "Is that so? Then I'll take you, Idol, when the time comes."
Yu Daochen's expression suddenly turned serious. "The matter I need to attend to is very dangerous. If you get involved, it will be troublesome."
