How do I fix 'No wifi adapter found' issue (RTL8821CE)?

Question

I recently Installed Ubuntu 19.04, with Windows as dual boot. My device is Lenovo ideapad 330-15AST U. I can't connect to the wireless networks. I am an absolute beginner to Ubuntu.

Ran the following command:

lspci -knn | grep Net -A3; rfkill list

Following is the received output:
