Ye Chen's acupuncture treatment took a long time, and Li Yan had fewer scenes today, coincidentally having plenty of time.

"Sure," Ye Chen said. But after he spoke, he hesitated and glanced at Lin Ying behind him.

"Who is this?" Li Yan, upon seeing Lin Ying, was also stunned by her beauty.

Actually, when Li Yan had first arrived here, she had seen Lin Ying, but Lin Ying was so aloof that she seemed unapproachable.

However, Ye Chen only glanced at Lin Ying, and Li Yan took the opportunity to get to know Lin Ying.

Li Yan was an extremely intelligent woman. She was polite and good at making acquaintances, although all of these qualities were overshadowed by her beauty.

"Lin Ying!" Lin Ying took the initiative to extend her hand and tell Li Yan her name.

"Hello, I'm Li Yan!" Li Yan smiled and shook hands lightly with Lin Ying.

Ye Chen looked at Lin Ying doubtfully. This ice queen was extremely proud, so why was she now taking the initiative to make friends with Li Yan?

Could it be that Li Yan's unparalleled beauty had even moved Lin Ying, a woman herself?

"You two are?" At that moment, Li Yan pointed at Ye Chen, seemingly curious about the relationship between him and Lin Ying.

"She's my bodyguard!" Ye Chen said straightforwardly.

"No way!" Li Yan covered her mouth lightly. "You can cripple a martial arts master with one slap, why would you need a bodyguard?"

"Moreover, having a female bodyguard, aren't you being a bit hypocritical?" Li Yan looked at Ye Chen with disapproval. "You seem to be dating Zhang Xinlan, and developing a secret affair with my close friend, you wouldn't be planning to 'do something' with Lin too, would you?"

Li Yan disliked promiscuous men, so seeing Ye Chen flanked by women, she felt some distaste.

"You don't understand," Lin Ying spoke.

When she said Li Yan didn't understand, she meant that she didn't grasp Ye Chen's charm, didn't know his excellence, or understand him as a person!

Li Yan was slightly stunned; she didn't expect that even though she mentioned Ye Chen's entanglements with many women, Lin Ying, the ice queen, would still speak in his defense.

"Alright," Ye Chen said. "Lin Ying, you wait here for Liu Shihua and the others, I'll go treat Li Yan!"

"No!" Lin Ying objected.

Li Yan was slightly displeased; she had shown goodwill towards Lin Ying, but this ice queen was now trying to prevent Ye Chen from treating her.

"I'm fine!" Ye Chen shook his head, signaling Lin Ying not to worry too much.

"You have less than ten percent of your power left. If the Crocodile comes desperately, even if you still have some strength left, you might face mortal danger!" Lin Ying's words revealed her concern for Ye Chen. "If you're going to treat her, just take me along. Even if I can't defeat the Crocodile, I can create a chance for you to escape!"

Li Yan's face changed upon hearing this; she thought of the incident a few days ago when Liu Shihua was kidnapped. Could it be that some of those criminals were still at large?

However, even if there were bandits on the loose, protecting Liu Shihua should take priority. Why was Lin Ying so concerned about Ye Chen? Li Yan didn't know the stakes involved, so she was very curious.

"I can injure the Crocodile, cripple him, and I can kill him too!" A strong confidence suddenly emanated from Ye Chen's body. "His injuries are more severe than mine. Right now, he isn't qualified to attack me, and even if he is the Crocodile, I can kill him!"

"Liu Shihua still needs protection; the Crocodile can't handle me, but for him, targeting Liu Shihua is a piece of cake," Ye Chen said as he looked at Lin Ying. "Stay here to protect Liu Shihua, and don't worry about my safety. There's no being in this world capable of taking my life yet!"

Eventually, under Ye Chen's persistence, Lin Ying had no choice but to stay in the film and television city, taking care of Liu Shihua and the others.

As for Ye Chen, he sat in Li Yan's RV and returned to her place, providing acupuncture treatment to this female anchor.

"Ye Chen, I've realized you really are a magnet for women!" Inside the RV, Li Yan looked at Ye Chen and sincerely exclaimed, "Zhang Xinlan is head over heels for you, and my childhood friend Su Binglan also keeps entangling with you. Now you've even captured a cold beauty. You're really quite the lucky man with women!"

A man's ability is measured by how many women he has, and without a doubt, Ye Chen was very capable!

"It's a charm I often find troubling!" Ye Chen sighed.

"Pfft!" Li Yan couldn't help but smile upon seeing Ye Chen's pretentiously narcissistic behavior.

Touch him and he thinks you're singing his praises.

"Li Yan, I want to keep you as my 'kept woman.' I still have ten bucks in my pocket, is that enough?" Ye Chen, seeing Li Yan's beautiful demeanor, displayed a lovesick expression.

"Uh!"

Li Yan had been smiling charmingly, mesmerizing everyone, but when she heard Ye Chen's rogue comment, she became somewhat dazed.

"Will that work?" Ye Chen teased.

"Uh, let me think about it." Li Yan originally wanted to refuse outright but, as if possessed, she blurted out such a phrase, leading to endless daydreams.

"Really?" Ye Chen was stunned. "I was joking, don't take it seriously!"

Li Yan's beautiful face instantly darkened, hearing his words made it seem like Ye Chen was actually afraid she would cling to him.

"You really are something!" Li Yan retorted sarcastically. "Fantastical thinking, delusional daydreams, wishful thinking, utterly foolish. I can't describe your excellence in words. Ten bucks to keep me? That's like a toad lusting for a swan's flesh, you realize that, right?"

Ye Chen had never seen Li Yan lash out so sharply; it seemed his deliberate mention of the ten bucks really hit a nerve.

"Sorry, I made a low offer!" Ye Chen admitted his mistake. "How about 250?

Li Yan: "..."

"Li Yan, before Su left, she went to a hotel room with this guy!" Just then, the female driver who had been silent suddenly spoke up.

"What!" Li Yan turned to look at Ye Chen in shock.

"I am your brother-in-law, truly deserved!" Ye Chen could only come clean, helplessly spreading his hands. Then, he turned to the woman driving. "That long-haired woman up ahead, turn around and let me have a look. I think you might be the long-haired goddess I've been dreaming about, my house's floor tiles have been waiting for your hair to mop over them!"
