After my soul traveled through time and space, I became the male protagonist Bai Yueguang

It was already evening when Situ Rui saw the message sent by Shen Zhao. He stared at the lonely message and suddenly felt a chill on his back and a splitting headache. His hand holding the phone could not help but tremble.

"Brother Rui, what are you doing pacing back and forth in front of the boss's room?" a subordinate couldn't help but ask.

Situ Rui looked at his subordinate, with a moment of pain on his face, "It's okay, go do your thing, you don't need to worry about this place."

He left when his subordinates saw that he was no longer needed. When he left, he saw Situ Rui standing in front of the door, wondering what he was thinking. He sighed and thought it was none of his business so he better not to meddle in it.

Situ Rui prepared himself mentally and raised his hand to knock on the door.

"Who?" Mu Yanchen's low and hoarse voice came from inside, as if he had just woken up.

"It's me." Situ Rui said sullenly.

"come in."

Situ Rui pushed the door open and walked in. He stood in front of the door and didn't dare to go forward. He saw Mu Yanchen slowly walking out of the room in a loose bathrobe. It seemed that he had just finished a bath and his hair was still wet. Then he saw him sitting elegantly on the sofa, glancing at Situ Rui with the corner of his eyes, "Is there anything you dare not say?"

Situ Rui has been following Mu Yanchen for some time, so of course Mu Yanchen is familiar with everyone's habits.

"There is something."

We will all die sooner or later. Situ Rui handed over the phone, and the message sent by Shen Zhao appeared on the page.

Sure enough, after Mu Yanchen saw the message, the aura around him changed, and the temperature around him seemed to drop rapidly. "What's going on?" he asked coldly.

There was no trace of the usual demonic color in Shui Feng's eyes, but she was full of ruthlessness. Although she was weak, Situ Rui dared not cross the line. He replied with a trembling voice: "This was a text message from Shen Zhao at around 3 o'clock in the afternoon. I was dealing with other matters at that time and did not see it. She said that she went to a place called Dongling Pharmacy, and I have just checked. Miss Shen has not returned to the hotel yet. According to the investigation, they should still be staying in Dongling Pharmacy."

"Dongling Pharmacy?" Mu Yanchen tapped the table with his fingertips, again and again, hitting Situ Rui's heart. "Isn't that Li Chengyi's business?"

"Yes..." Situ Rui answered tremblingly.

"Is that so?" Mu Yanchen stood up from the sofa. "Since Zhao Zhao went to such a shady place, naturally I have to pick her up."

"No," Situ Rui stopped him, "This is Li Chengyi's territory. You are still sick, and the person you are going to is his..."

He didn't dare to say anything else. Being stared at coldly by Mu Yanchen, Situ Rui felt as if there was a knife on his neck. As long as he said one wrong word, the knife would chop at his neck, blood splattering on the ground and his head being separated.

"so what?"

Situ Rui complained in his heart, it was not a big deal, it was just that the current situation was not as good as before. If Mu Yanchen had a healthier body, the organizations in this territory would naturally not dare to have any second thoughts. However, even if the boss's physical condition was concealed, there would be a time when the news would leak out, and it was common for those people to be ready to make a move. Therefore, the current situation was the most dangerous. What's more, that Li Chengyi had boldly kidnapped Zhao Qing from their side before, and who knows if he knew something after capturing Shen Zhao this time.

When he came out of the room again, Mu Yanchen had already changed his clothes. It was winter, and the wind was still blowing hard in the coastal city. He was wearing only two thin pieces of clothing. Before Situ Rui could react, he was already sitting in a wheelchair. "Let's go."

"Uh...Okay, Boss, do you really not need to put on another piece of clothing? If Miss Shen sees this, she might have objections."

When Mu Yanchen heard Situ Rui mention Shen Zhao, a rare tenderness appeared in his eyes, which disappeared in an instant, "It's time to pick her up."

Because of Mu Yanchen's physical condition, Situ Rui was exhausted. When he was traveling, he temporarily dispatched a team of people to secretly inspect and provide support as soon as there was any situation. He glanced at the man who was resting with his eyes closed in the back seat, and cursed Li Chengyi in his heart. Why did he arrest Shen Zhao so blindly? Not only did he put his boss in danger, but also increased his workload!

Shen Zhao spent the whole afternoon in the dark room. She knew that curiosity kills the cat, so as long as Li Chengyi didn't ask, she would keep silent. But Li Chengyi liked to talk to her, and Juhong, who was standing next to her, looked at her with her eyes popping out. Shen Zhao also knew that jealousy could kill people, so she was trembling with fear when she spoke every word, and only said three-tenths of what she said. She had no obligation to reveal too much to Li Chengyi, and she didn't want to get closer to him.

"Juhong, those girls are now in your care. Just let them wake up when it gets dark. It's up to you to decide whether to keep them for dinner or not." Li Chengyi was a smart man, so how could he not know what Juhong was thinking? He just didn't care and ignored it before, but that couldn't be done now. If he let Juhong's delusions grow, sooner or later she would drag him into the quagmire as well.

Juhong was a little indignant. She had never seen her master be kind to any woman except his sister. Even to her subordinates, they were always in a superior-subordinate relationship and she never crossed the line. Her actions and attitudes were the same, but now... Juhong looked at Shen Zhao deeply, as if she wanted to dig out her flesh and blood. It was obvious that her master valued that girl.

She looked Shen Zhao up and down. His limbs were slender and his facial features were almost impeccable. But his skin color didn't match her at all. It would be better if he was whiter. But because of this, she thought Shen Zhao was not worthy of her master. Moreover, she looked like a poor high school student. She was not helpful to her master's career. She was not as good as her! How could her master be so short-sighted as to have a crush on this little girl? Even if she had a crush on Mei Bai, she wouldn't be so angry!

Juhong stared at Li Chengyi suspiciously, pointed at Shen Zhao and asked, "What about her? Aren't we taking her to the tea room too?"

Juhong herself has an elegant appearance, but the words she says are completely contrary to her appearance, and are extremely vulgar. If she doesn't pretend, it will ruin her beauty. But Shen Zhao doesn't care about that. At this moment, she hopes that Juhong can take her to the tea room as well. At least it is better than staying in this dark room with her master.

Just as she cast a hopeful look towards Juhong, Li Chengyi's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over her head.

"No." Li Chengyi spoke coldly.

"Why?" Juhong was anxious. Her master looked serious.

Mei Bai shook her head and looked at Ju Hong with a bit of helplessness. She didn't see what Miss Shen showed, so she naturally thought that Miss Shen was marrying above her station. With her indiscriminate and angry personality, it was no wonder that the master had never arranged for her to do anything. How could anyone feel at ease...

Li Chengyi glared at her coldly, "You want me to explain?"

"I dare not!" Juhong quickly lowered her head, her whole back trembling slightly. Her master's temper had improved a lot just now, and she almost forgot what kind of person her master was. She almost overstepped her authority.

"If you're alright, get off. Don't make me say it again!"

"Yes!" Juhong responded and walked out of the secret door, and then the secret door closed again.

Shen Zhao felt very sorry, as she had originally thought that Juhong could take her out... moreover, she had been observing the door for a long time but still couldn't figure it out, nor did she know which switch to touch to open it. It seemed extremely difficult for her to get out on her own without someone to lead her.

Seeing Shen Zhao staring at the direction of the secret door, Li Chengyi smiled, "Why, you want to go back so soon? Is it boring here?"

Although it seemed like a joke, judging from Juhong's frightened look just now, Shen Zhao would not think that the man in front of her was a kind person. If she told the truth, she might anger him. She turned her head and looked at Li Chengyi, "Sir, I know my mission. I will not leave until you take the medicine."

Li Chengyi sat cross-legged on the couch, put his hands on his thighs, and twisted his fingertips, "That would be the best."

It was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry, so Shen Zhao simply ignored him. As long as she was still useful, he would not kill her easily.

Mei Bai remained silent until the time was almost up, "Master, it's time to take your medicine for the night. I'll go prepare the herbs for you."

These words were said for Li Chengyi and Shen Zhao to hear. Shen Zhao naturally understood what the implication was. It was just a demonstration in front of them. There was no need to hide these skills. Moreover, it was a move that would reassure Li Chengyi, the man.

Mei Bai quickly prepared the corresponding medicinal materials and placed them on a wooden tray with small porcelain dishes on it. Shen Zhao could see clearly that the small dishes contained the measured medicinal materials, each of which was measured exactly and was made with great care. She couldn't help but reveal a kind of appreciation in her eyes.

"Is there a stove in this room?"

"Yes," Mei Bai stood beside Shen Zhao and made a "please" gesture, "this way."

Shen Zhao turned his head to look at Li Chengyi. The man seemed to sense something and suddenly opened his eyes, which were originally closed, and bumped into Shen Zhao's. She was so scared that she immediately shifted her gaze. She heard a sound like laughter from behind. Mei Bai glanced at Shen Zhao with the corner of her eyes and said nothing, continuing her work of leading the way.

Different from what Shen Zhao had imagined before, she initially thought that the master of this house preferred ancient utensils and toys, so the layout of the stove should also be similar to that of ancient times. But to her surprise, the kitchen was of modern style and had everything needed.

Seeing that she seemed a little surprised, Mei Bai explained, "Although my master likes ancient things, he has very high requirements for food, and those ancient stoves cannot meet his requirements."

"So whether it's ancient or not also changes with his hobbies," Shen Zhao understood, and didn't dwell on it. "Well, let's get started," she looked at the clepsydra on the ground. "It will take at least an hour at the fastest. If it drags on, I'm afraid I'll be scolded by the teacher when I get back to the hotel late."

Shen Zhao picked up the herbs as if he was displaying a work of art, and the processing process was smooth, as if he had done it thousands of times. If Mei Bai had not seen it with her own eyes, she would not have taken this girl seriously. But seeing is believing, she had to admit defeat and marvel at her superb skills.

A moment passed, Shen Zhao was only focused on making medicine and didn't notice the changes around him. He didn't know when Li Chengyi was standing at the door, dragging his body that had not yet recovered. Mei Bai was surprised for a moment when she saw him, but she was not surprised. She took a step back and made room. Li Chengyi didn't make any sound, his eyes kept following the girl who seemed to be dancing with the medicinal herbs, as if he wanted to remember this moment forever in his heart.

"Okay!" Shen Zhao picked up the bowl of medicine in front of her. She turned around and looked at Mei Bai, but she didn't know that Li Chengyi was standing behind her. She was so scared that her hands trembled, and the medicine was about to pour out. Li Chengyi stretched out one hand and held it firmly on the back of Shen Zhao's hand. The rough touch made Shen Zhao very uncomfortable, but she still had no intention of shaking off Li Chengyi. She calmed down in an instant and held the bowl of medicine in her hand.

She glared at the man with a slightly unfriendly tone, "Why are you here?" If she didn't react in time, perhaps the hard-earned medicine would be wasted, and it would take a lot of time to remake it.

Li Chengyi did not answer. He spread out his five fingers and held the bowl of medicine steadily in front of him. Then, under Mei Bai's surprised gaze, he drank it in a few gulps. The black stains of medicine on the corners of his mouth added a bit of fierceness. He casually threw the empty bowl on the table, his sharp eyes fixed on Shen Zhao.

Shen Zhao swallowed her saliva, and her legs could not help but retreat backwards, her body trembling constantly. She knew she was afraid, until she bumped into the cabinet behind her and had no way to retreat. "What do you want to do?"

There was no need for honorifics. When he was panicked, he would tell her everything he was thinking. She didn't have much respect for him to begin with.

"In the afternoon, I only knew that you were a powerful person, more powerful than the better ones," he glanced at Mei Bai faintly, "but I didn't know it was this frightening. Do you think I should let you go back?"

Shen Zhao knew he had no way to retreat. Facing Li Chengyi's approach, he could only look up at him stubbornly, "Do you want to go back on your word?"

Li Chengyi stretched out his hand, and gently rubbed Shen Zhao's cheek with his rough fingertips. "At first I wanted to let you go, but now I really don't want to. Why don't you stay and help me look after my sister?"

Shen Zhao stiffly let Li Chengyi use his fingertips to play evil on her cheek. Before she could say anything, a flurry of footsteps came from outside the kitchen, attracting the attention of the three people.

Li Chengyi withdrew his hand, turned around, and stared fiercely at the breathless person who came, "What's the matter that makes you so flustered?"

The person who came was Ju Hong. She looked over at Shen Zhao behind Li Chengyi and then said seriously, "The one from the Mu family is here!"

Something seemed to be bursting out of his eyes. Li Chengyi stared at Juhong and then looked towards the door. "That person actually had the nerve to come see me?!"

"Let's go!" He lifted up the clothes hanging on his side, covering the large piece of gauze on his body. He turned his head and looked at Shen Zhao, "You come with us!"

When Shen Zhao turned around, he raised his hand and wiped his cheek with the back of his hand until a slight red mark appeared on his cheek.
