Chapter 501: Who Is More Ruthless
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At this moment, a helicopter flew to the nearest window. A person jumped towards the window from the cabin door that had been opened long ago.
Bang!
Splas.h.!.+
Amid the splas.h.i.+ng of the window gla.s.s, a person jumped in with a strong murderous aura.
Just as Old Master Duanmu’s guards reacted, a few more people jumped out of the helicopter.
After Third Master Sun landed, he even said in a complicated tone to Li Yan, who was standing there with a dark expression, “Li Yan, to think you could jump in through the window without wearing a protective suit. Be careful not to have your face scratched by the window gla.s.s and be despised by Little Chu.”
After Third Master Sun finished speaking, he looked at the group of reporters and guards who were pointing their weapons at Chu Luo. He leisurely waved at Old Master Duanmu.
“Old Master Duanmu, I heard that you’ve been in poor health recently. I didn’t expect you to come here to scam instead of recuperating at home.”
These words made the expressions of the group opposite them turn a little twisted.
Old Master Duanmu’s expression darkened.
Unable to stand it anymore, Eldest Master Sun lectured him, “Third Brother, cut it out.”
Second Master Sun continued, “Can’t you see what’s going on?”
Li Yan walked towards Chu Luo and Old Master Duanmu.
Old Master Duanmu’s guards pointed their weapons at him.
A reporter was so angry that his voice became sharp. “CEO Li, what are you trying to do? This is the empire, not your business empire. If you dare to do anything rash, we will definitely report you. We’ll see if the entire empire will buy the products under Blazing Glory again.”
Li Yan glanced up at the reporter.
The reporter suddenly felt like his entire body was frozen.
Li Yan walked up to them with a sharpness in his eyes that they had never seen before. “Old Master.”
Just as he called out, Old Master Duanmu suddenly felt suppressed by an invisible aura.
He sized up the young man in front of him seriously. He suddenly felt that he was a little different from the young man in his impression who wasn’t fierce despite being cold.
Old Master Duanmu sighed in his heart, but he said with disappointment on his face, “The empire has given your company a lot of convenience. Why did you still betray the empire?”
“Nonsense!” Third Master Sun exploded when he heard this. He was about to curse, but he was suppressed by Eldest Master Sun and Second Master Sun’s cold gazes.
“Third Brother, shut up.”
Third Master Sun could only quiet down.
Li Yan looked at Old Master Duanmu and sneered. “Betray the empire? That’s a huge accusation.”
After saying that, he looked at Chu Luo and called out to her, “Luoluo.”
Chu Luo nodded and took out her phone. As she pressed the b.u.t.tons, she said, “I have a habit. Once I discover that someone wants to frame me, I like to turn on the recording function on my phone.”
When Old Master Duanmu heard this, he frowned slightly.
He suddenly said to the reporters, “Go out first. I’ll talk to them alone.”
The reporters didn’t dare to think too much. Once Old Master Duanmu said that, they turned around and left.
The door closed.
Old Master Duanmu looked at Li Yan with pain in his eyes. “Are you really going to ruin our Duanmu family?”
There was only coldness in Li Yan’s eyes. “I said before that I would let you spend the rest of your life in peace. As long as the others in the Duanmu family don’t touch my reverse scale, I won’t care.”
“Sigh…”
Old Master Duanmu sighed.
At this moment, he suddenly took out a weapon and pointed it at his temple.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
The three people from the Sun family shouted at the same time.
“Old Master Duanmu, what are you trying to do!”
“Old Master Duanmu, you’re crazy!”
Li Yan’s expression darkened.
Old Master Duanmu said, “It was I who spared the rod and spoiled the children. I didn’t teach my descendants well. I’ll take the rap for this. If you remember my kindness for finding such a good wife for you, please give my sons and grandsons a way out.”
With that, he pulled the trigger.
Before anyone could react, the gun in Old Master Duanmu’s hand was in Chu Luo’s hand.
Old Master Duanmu looked at her in shock. “You…”
“Grandpa Duanmu, if you commit suicide here, Yan, the Sun family, and I won’t be able to explain ourselves. For our own good, you’d better not die.”
After saying that, she tapped his sleeping acupoint.
Eldest Master Sun said in a low voice, “Take Old Master Duanmu away.”
Old Master Duanmu’s guards wanted to resist, but Chu Luo snapped her fingers in the air and these people couldn’t move.
The people brought by the Sun family quickly took away Old Master Duanmu and his guards.
As Li Yan left, he said to Chu Luo, “Continue with your cla.s.s. We’ll deal with the rest.”
Chu Luo nodded.
Not long after Li Yan and the others left, the princ.i.p.al walked in.
He glanced at the window and patted Chu Luo’s shoulder without saying anything. “Little Chu, go to cla.s.s.”
Chu Luo nodded at him and walked out of the office.
There was still no one in the office building.
After Chu Luo walked out of the office building, Roundy, who was waiting for her outside, walked over.
Roundy said to her, “Mistress, many people surrounded this building previously and didn’t let anyone get close.”
Chu Luo nodded and gestured to him. “Skateboard.”
Roundy placed the skateboard at her feet and she skated towards the school building with the robot.
The princ.i.p.al looked at the departing figure and rubbed his temples with mixed feelings. He muttered, “I hope I made the right bet this time.”
…
Many people didn’t have cla.s.s on Friday afternoon, but this wasn’t the case for Chu Luo.
During lunch, Nangong Yi came looking for her.
The two of them ordered their food and sat in a half-opened cubicle. Nangong Yi looked at Chu Luo, who was eating seriously, and said with a complicated mood, “Junior, I knew about the content of your meeting yesterday.”
When Chu Luo heard this, she looked up at him strangely. Why did he say that?
Nangong Yi: “You have leaders.h.i.+p abilities and had a good discussion with everyone. There’s no need for me to say anything else today. They’ve already started taking action. But… are you really getting married on the 1st of January?”
“Why? I can’t?”
“No… you’re not even 20 yet. Can you get married?”
“…”
Chu Luo looked at him with bright eyes.
Nangong Yi looked back at her with confusion.
Chu Luo wondered if she should tell Nangong Yi that she and Li Yan had already registered their marriage.
However, she suddenly didn’t want to talk about it anymore. The marriage certificate was between her and Li Yan, and it didn’t seem to have anything to do with anyone else.
At the thought of this, she started eating again.
Nangong Yi looked at her for a few seconds and also started eating.
When they were about to finish eating, he said, “You have to invite me to your wedding, right?”
Chu Luo: “…”
So this was the purpose of this person’s pretext.
Nangong Yi suddenly smiled. His smile was light and gave people a comfortable feeling.
He said, “It’s good that you get married early. This can be considered contributing to society.”
Chu Luo looked at him in dissatisfaction.
“Am I wrong?” Nangong Yi didn’t think he was wrong at all. “As the G.o.ddess of the entire country, many people will have unrealistic fantasies about you if you don’t get married. Once you get married, those people’s fantasies will be broken. I thank you on behalf of all the women.”
Chu Luo: “…”
“Alright, I’ll stop talking… Actually, I have another matter to discuss with you today.
“After New Year’s Day, I can’t come to school often. My family wants me to go overseas before the New Year. Coincidentally, at that time, the professor I want to follow will be recruiting students. I have to prepare an offer.”
Chu Luo nodded. “Sure.”
Nangong Yi smiled. “On the account that you agreed so readily, Junior, I’ll help you drink when you get married.”
Chu Luo immediately looked at him warily. “Who wants you to help me drink?”
Nangong Yi suddenly remembered Chu Luo’s good alcohol tolerance and asked awkwardly, “Junior, you’re not preparing to drink all the wine at your banquet yourself, are you?”
Chu Luo smiled at him but didn’t answer.
The two of them walked out of the school restaurant. Nangong Yi asked her, “The exchange students will leave Imperial University tomorrow. We’ll have another gathering tonight. Junior, do you want to come?”
“No. I’m very busy this week.”
“Alright.”
Chu Luo suddenly thought of Hank and asked.
Nangong Yi’s tone was a little complicated. He said, “Hank has been picked up by his family.”
“Was he seriously injured?”
Hank had jumped down from a window on the third floor, but the apartment area where the exchange students lived was filled with flower beds and lawns. Even if he jumped down, he wouldn’t be seriously injured.
Indeed, Nangong Yi said, “When Hank jumped down, he wasn’t seriously injured. He only sprained his ankle, but…”
Chu Luo looked at the hesitant Nangong Yi and asked strangely, “Did he hurt something indescribable?”
Nangong Yi rubbed his nose. Initially, he felt that it was a little strange to tell Chu Luo about this matter, but he forgot that Chu Luo knew how to treat patients.
Nangong Yi nodded. “Yes.”
Chu Luo smiled and changed the topic. “I’ll get the autographs after school and get someone to send it to you.”
“Okay.”
The two of them walked out of the school restaurant and went their separate ways.
After cla.s.s in the afternoon, Chu Luo went to Tang Zhiyun’s office.
Unexpectedly, Tang Zhiyun’s mother, brother, and Xiao Yue were all here.
Not only them, but Wu Yiyao was also there.
Moreover, it seemed a little lively at this time.
