The Strongest Master Venturing Urban-Chapter 259: Danger, Hurry Over!
Chapter 259: Chapter 259: Danger, Hurry Over!
After leaving the airport, Chen Bin drove the two women toward Dragon Mountain County.
Liao Ruoli looked at the night scenery outside the window and couldn’t help but complain.
"Sis, the environment here is so much worse than back home, isn’t it?"
She then went on a rant, listing a long stream of grievances.
Although Chen Bin was driving up front, he remembered Liao Ruoli’s words word for word.
To be fair, this little beauty had some very unique insights regarding urban planning.
Once they arrived in Dragon Mountain County, Chen Bin immediately took the two women to a restaurant for dinner.
During the meal, he promptly began inquiring about the purpose of their visit to Tianhai.
Liao Ruoli, likely starving, completely ignored Chen Bin.
Liao Ruoji, on the other hand, took her time chewing and chatted with Chen Bin as she ate.
Only then did Chen Bin learn that the two women were visiting mainly to thank him for his help last time.
They were also using the opportunity to travel and experience the rural scenery.
As they talked, Chen Bin realized that when sitting with Liao Ruoji, he didn’t need to make an effort to find topics; they could easily chat for hours.
Compared to Liao Ruoli’s playful and lively nature, Liao Ruoji seemed far more quiet and gentle.
By the time they finished eating, the sky outside had grown dark.
Chen Bin explained, "If you want to experience pastoral beauty, why not follow me to Qinghe Town? I guarantee you’ll be surprised by the scenery, though the environment isn’t as good as here."
Liao Ruoji smiled and said,
"No problem. We just want to witness the real rural countryside. As long as you don’t mind the hassle, and it doesn’t interfere with your work, we’d love for you to take us around."
"Don’t worry about my work. Let’s head out as soon as we’ve finished eating!"
And with that, the three of them once again drove toward Qinghe Town.
As soon as the two women walked into the guesthouse, they were visibly shocked.
They hadn’t expected such an impoverished place like Qinghe Town would have such an elegant guesthouse.
Looking around, Liao Ruoli smirked and deliberately teased Chen Bin.
"You’re aiming for deputy County Magistrate? With my capabilities, at the very least I’d set my sights on secretary of the County Committee."
Not bothering to argue with the little brat, Chen Bin pretended not to hear her.
After bidding farewell to the two women, he returned to his room alone.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Cai Lixia sitting on the sofa.
"Where have you been? What took you so long to get back?"
Sitting down next to Cai Lixia, Chen Bin replied,
"Some friends arrived; I went to pick them up."
Feigning calmness, Cai Lixia asked, "What kind of friends? Male or female?"
"Both women!"
Upon hearing this, Cai Lixia’s expression softened immediately.
She hugged Chen Bin’s arm gently and asked, "What are they doing in Qinghe Town?"
"Traveling!"
Chen Bin moved Cai Lixia’s hand aside and frowned as he spoke, "Don’t touch me right now—I’m drenched in sweat. You’ll just make yourself sticky."
Nodding obediently, Cai Lixia stayed silent.
Truthfully, she had already seen Liao Ruoji and Liao Ruoli enter the guesthouse earlier.
Her questions were merely a test to see if Chen Bin was hiding anything from her.
And his answers had perfectly satisfied her test.
As Chen Bin grabbed his shorts and walked toward the bathroom, he couldn’t help but tease her.
"Since you’re here, why don’t we wash up together?"
Cai Lixia’s cheeks turned bright red, and she quickly shook her head.
"No way. You pervert!"
When Chen Bin emerged from his shower, he was left wearing only his shorts.
A glance at the clock showed it was already 8 PM.
"Lixia, you should head back and rest. You’ve got work tomorrow."
Staring intently at the TV, Cai Lixia replied impatiently,
"Ugh, go to sleep first. I’ll leave after finishing this episode."
Sighing helplessly, Chen Bin felt slightly exasperated.
"You’ve been in my room so long—what if people misunderstand?"
"Let them! After all, we’re dating now."
Hearing this, Chen Bin didn’t press the issue further.
He simply headed into the bedroom and went to sleep on his own.
The next morning during breakfast, all three women finally met each other.
Chen Bin introduced them to one another.
Upon learning that Cai Lixia was Chen Bin’s girlfriend, Liao Ruoji furrowed her brow ever so slightly.
Afterward, she no longer spoke with Chen Bin the way she had the previous day.
After breakfast, Cai Lixia went straight to work.
Meanwhile, back at the guesthouse, Chen Bin prepared to take Liao Ruoji and Liao Ruoli on a tour around town.
He mentioned that, if they managed to catch fish in the afternoon, they could have a picnic.
Hearing this, the two women seemed visibly excited.
However, Chen Bin insisted they wear long pants to avoid mosquito bites.
Taking his advice seriously, Liao Ruoli promptly returned to her room to change.
But Liao Ruoji muttered, "It’s summer—long pants will be way too hot. I’m not that fragile!"
Then she and Chen Bin locked eyes and fell silent.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Bin suddenly said,
"Cai Lixia isn’t my girlfriend. Don’t misunderstand."
Surprised, Liao Ruoji asked,
"Then why did she introduce herself as such earlier?"
"That’s just her personal wishful thinking. It’s complicated to explain for now, but just know that she isn’t."
Without saying more, Liao Ruoji’s expression soon grew visibly awkward.
After a morning tour around town and lunch at Qinghe Restaurant, Chen Bin went to buy fishing rods and barbecue supplies.
He also picked up some corn, sweet potatoes, and other snacks.
Loading everything into the car, he returned to grab a long-sleeve shirt to ward off mosquitoes.
Liao Ruoli followed suit, changing into long sleeves and even bringing along an extra pair of pants "just in case."
After setting off, it wasn’t long before the three arrived at Qinghe Reservoir.
Marveling at the beautiful surroundings, both women quickly took out cameras to capture the scenery.
Chen Bin, seizing the moment, began unloading fishing equipment from the car.
Once everything was ready, he called over Liao Ruoji and Liao Ruoli, and the trio began fishing.
Though no one mentioned competing outright, they were all determined to catch the most fish.
Unfortunately, none of them were skilled fishermen, and not a single fish was caught for half the day.
Unable to contain her frustration, Liao Ruoli angrily confronted Chen Bin.
"What kind of lousy spot did you pick? Not even one fish!" fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Just as Chen Bin was scrambling to come up with a response, a small fish finally got hooked on his line.
Flashing a sly smile, he dangled the fish in front of Liao Ruoli.
The young woman’s face turned bright red with frustration.
Without saying another word, she plopped back onto her folding chair and resumed fishing earnestly.
The tides began to change as both Liao Ruoji and Liao Ruoli suddenly started catching fish one after another.
Before long, their bucket contained five to six fish.
Meanwhile, apart from his first catch, Chen Bin hadn’t reeled in anything else.
Realizing this, he gave up fishing entirely and started prepping the grill for the barbecue.
Right then, Liao Ruoli also set down her fishing rod and headed toward the riverbank.
Seeing this, Chen Bin instinctively shouted, "Careful! Come back here immediately!"
Rolling her eyes, Liao Ruoli snapped back, "Stop nagging me! I’m a grown-up—how could I possibly... Ah!"
Before she could finish her sentence, she slipped and fell straight into the river...
