Chapter 17

Wearing the famous 2B headphones, the young white man with a slightly rebellious look on his face suddenly changed his expression. He glanced at his companions, suddenly shouted, and ran into the nearest building.

His three companions hesitated for a moment but immediately followed. Markov, who had just ambushed Lu Wenyin, was severely injured by Ning Yue's counterattack when he switched the dimensional battlefield. He didn't run far before being caught up by his three companions, and the four of them immediately engaged in a fierce struggle.

Markov knew that it was too late for any words now. He loudly cursed, "You kill me, and he won't let you off either. You bunch of swine, beasts, idiots..."

His three companions attacked fiercely without saying a word, holding nothing back.

Ning Yue brought the security guard and Lu Wenyin out of the dimensional battlefield, gestured to the security guard, who then left on his own. He pulled Lu Wenyin, judged their position, and said with a light laugh, "We're almost at the audio equipment store we're going to. How about we walk there?"

Lu Wenyin nodded obediently. Ning Yue held her hand, chatting and laughing as they walked forward, as if nothing had happened.

As they passed a display window, Ning Yue stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass, tidying up his appearance. Lu Wenyin smiled and even reached out to straighten his collar.

In Ning Yue's eyes, the reflection in the floor-to-ceiling glass showed the dimension that ordinary people couldn't see. The slowly collapsing dimensional battlefield had already obliterated everything, including the young white man with the famous 2B headphones, Markov, and his three companions. The desperate expressions on their faces before they died did not change Ning Yue's decision.

Lu Wenyin's plea made Ning Yue compromise. He took her away without killing in front of her. However, Ning Yue, who had experienced countless battles and countless conspiracies, would never show mercy to anyone who dared to offend him.

As he said, the world was never short of those who died unjustly. If it weren't for his astonishing strength, these four people would have killed him. Therefore, when he killed, he showed no mercy. As for the reason... that actually didn't matter. What mattered was the justification.

Ning Yue, looking at his slightly tidied appearance, made a gesture of farewell and then smiled as he followed Lu Wenyin away.

Although Lu Wenyin's house was quite large, it was not enough for a set of high-quality audio equipment. Most of the areas in her house were already renovated and had specific uses. The only place available for installing the equipment was a storage room on the top floor, but it was less than ten square meters, insufficient to fully utilize the equipment's performance.

Lu Wenyin thought about settling for a less ideal option, but as everyone knew, audio equipment was a matter of getting what you paid for. Settling for less meant she would never be satisfied with those options.

Ning Yue was patient at first, but after more than three hours, he finally became impatient and said to Lu Wenyin, "Let's just go for the best equipment. You like it, and the effect is quite good."

Lu Wenyin bit her lip and said, "Then I'll have two rooms demolished and connected."

Ning Yue said generously, "Why go through so much trouble? I'll just buy you another house."

The audio equipment store Ning Yue chose was the best in the city, with a wide range of audio equipment. Almost all the high-end villas in the city were custom-made here.

When Ning Yue said this, a young man in the store couldn't help but laugh and interjected, "If you want to buy a house for your girlfriend to use as an audio room, I have one. It belongs to a friend of mine, who is moving abroad and wants to sell it quickly. The price is quite reasonable."

This young man spoke very pleasantly, without any arrogance. He seemed to fully believe what Ning Yue said, rather than mocking him as a child. His attitude was very sincere.

Ning Yue didn't expect to meet such a person. He pondered for a moment and asked, "Where is the house?"

The young man laughed and said, "64 Feits Road. You should know the place."

Ning Yue was slightly taken aback and blurted out, "That's the villa area from the Republic of China era. Isn't it long gone from the market?"

The young man smiled and replied, "On the entire Feits Road, this is probably the only one for sale, and it hasn't been publicly listed. It's just being offered in a circle of friends. If it weren't for my current financial situation, I would have bought it myself."

Ning Yue casually asked, "How much is it roughly?"

The young man casually replied, "Around 70 million. If you are very sincere, I can get you a discount. My friend should give me some face."

Ning Yue immediately took out his phone, dialed a number, gave a few instructions, and then hung up, saying apologetically, "Please wait a moment. My company's staff will come to handle this. I'll take this house."

The young man was slightly taken aback, then laughed and asked subtly, "May I know your surname, young brother? I'm Ma Yuan. Perhaps we know each other."

Ning Yue smiled but didn't answer the question. Instead, he said, "Thanks to Mr. Ma for introducing me to this house. If there's an opportunity in the future, I would like to collaborate with Mr. Ma. I just wonder if Mr. Ma would be willing."

Ning Yue was so young that the young man initially just wanted to joke around with him and get to know the two of them. Lu Wenyin was extremely beautiful, and he had developed some interest.

In his mind, the normal script would be that Ning Yue would at most muster the courage to ask where the house was, learn that it was an old villa from the Republic of China era on Feits Road, and immediately back off. He would then invite the two for a meal or leave a contact number, thus establishing a connection. Back at home, he would just need to have his subordinates investigate to find out Ning Yue and Lu Wenyin's identities.

But Ning Yue quickly agreed to buy the house, which piqued his curiosity about Ning Yue's background. To easily buy a house worth 70 million, one's net worth must be at least a billion. Such people could be counted on one hand nationwide, let alone in this city, where there wouldn't be more than ten people with such wealth.

Ma Yuan smiled and said subtly, "I would like to collaborate with you, young brother, but I wonder if our businesses are compatible and if there is a basis for collaboration!"

Ning Yue laughed and, ten minutes later, when his company's staff arrived, he took Lu Wenyin and said goodbye to the young man, without even looking at the house.

His behavior made the young man even more curious but unable to determine Ning Yue's identity.
