Chapter 150: Chapter 150: The Last Day Tycoon (15)

Meanwhile, on the other side, after Chuzheng and Ning You left, the director summoned someone thoughtfully.

“Go keep an eye on that woman who was just here.” With a space ability and a large number of crystal cores, it’s hard not to attract attention.

Not knowing who she is…

“Okay, what about Huo Jing?”

“I’ve already done him this favor; it was his own people who messed up. Can they still come to me?” The man’s eyes were sharp and piercing.

If Ning You hadn’t volunteered, he would definitely have had to forcefully take back the house.

But Ning You jumped out on her own, letting him make so much for nothing.

He should thank her.

“…Understood.”

“If he comes looking for me, tell him I had to leave for an emergency.”

When Ning You returned to the team, Captain Huo looked somewhat pale, not sure if he was injured. “What happened? Didn’t get the key?”

Ning You: “…”

Right, she was supposed to get the key.

The house was already assured by Brother Huo.

But why did she contend with her for it? A chill suddenly rose up Ning You’s back; she should not have done that at all.

“Brother Huo…” Ning You’s thoughts shifted, and with a troubled expression, she said, “The house was snatched away.”

“Hmm?” Captain Huo frowned. “What happened?”

Ning You recounted what had just happened, altering it slightly, and explained everything to Captain Huo.

The gist of it was that Chuzheng insisted on having the house and even forced her to compete for it, but she didn’t have that many crystal cores.

“The girl from the team last time?”

Ning You nodded: “That’s her… I’m sorry, Brother Huo, I didn’t handle things well.”

Captain Huo waved it off: “Let’s find somewhere else to stay for now.”

Ning You wanted to say more, but seeing Captain Huo’s face, she held back.

“Hmm…”

Captain Huo, without knowing what Ning You had done, sought to find someone again, only to be told that the person had left due to an emergency.

The return time was uncertain.

This attitude clearly expressed his standpoint.

Huo Jing could only have Ning You join the queue and bid.

However, what infuriated Ning You was that every time she took a liking to a house, somebody would outbid her with a higher offer in the blink of an eye.

In the end, Ning You hemorrhaged a great deal of money just to get a three-bedroom, two-living room apartment that wasn’t even in a good environment.

“Do you have a grudge against her?” Lu Ran was very curious. “Why mess with her like that?”

Chuzheng: “…” Damn dog yanked my hair!

“If you want me to stick with you, can you talk to me properly? I don’t understand what you’re trying to convey.” Lu Ran was somewhat weary.

Chuzheng nodded seriously: “Yes.”

“???”

Chuzheng explained: “I have a grudge against her.”

Lu Ran: “How did she offend you?”

Chuzheng: “…” She yanked my hair.

Can she say something like that?

No!

“She just offended me.”

Lu Ran: “There should be a reason, right? Like why you want to imprison me?”

Chuzheng: “It’s a long story, not telling.”

Lu Ran: “…”

Lu Ran took a few deep breaths.

“Don’t you think using crystal cores to mess with her is not worth it?”

“I have crystal cores.” I’m so poor, I only have crystal cores left, what can I do!

“…”

Lu Ran again had no desire to talk to Chuzheng.

–

The villa was located to the north of the town, very close to the center of the base, making it one of the safest places, where patrol teams were seen occasionally.

The villa was indeed not large.

Downstairs was the living room and kitchen, upstairs were just three rooms; besides the master bedroom, the other two were small, and the attic was piled with sundries, not fit for living.

Chuzheng locked Lu Ran in the master bedroom.

Lu Ran: “…”

Great!

Now he was truly imprisoned.

Would he still have to serve in bed tonight?!

Lu Ran shuddered, his handsome face wearing an odd expression, and the hat in his hand was crumpled out of shape.

Why did he get in the car in the first place?

Stay calm!

Lu Ran forced himself to calm down and focused his gaze on the window.

He walked over and pulled back the curtain, the fierce sunlight shining on him as if he could hear the sound of his skin sizzling, so hot that his entire being seemed about to melt away.

Just as Lu Ran was about to lower the curtain, he spotted a figure peering around outside the villa.

Who was that?

Lu Ran dropped the curtain. He waited a little while and glanced outside again, and the person had disappeared.

But by nightfall, he saw a figure looking over at the villa again.

Lu Ran thought about the Crystal Core Chuzheng had spent, and it seemed not at all strange that they had attracted attention.

Serves him right!

Click—

The sound of the door lock was slight as Chuzheng came in holding water and food: “Eat.”

“…Can’t eat,” Lu Ran stood with his back to Chuzheng, “It’s hot.”

Chuzheng pondered for a few seconds: “Shall I feed you?”

This is the biggest concession I’ve made! Don’t go too far with the Good Person Card!

“…”

Lu Ran felt his dignity had been insulted, and he suddenly shouted, “What the hell do you want?”

Lu Ran charged toward Chuzheng with an imposing air. He had already removed his hat upon entering the room, and now, on his face that was so beautiful it could outshine the world, there was a faint trace of anger.

“Do you want to sleep with me or what?” Lu Ran stood in front of her, “Is it that if I sleep with you, you’ll let me go?”

Chuzheng’s expression was serious: “I didn’t want to sleep with you.”

Really!

Why would he think that?

Am I that kind of person?

Suddenly, Lu Ran lowered his head, and his lips touched Chuzheng’s. She kept her eyes wide open, staring at the handsome face that loomed large before her.

The youth had pale skin and delicate features like a work of art, his eyes slightly closed. One could vaguely glimpse the luster deep within them that could lead to bewilderment.

His butterfly-wing-like eyelashes trembled lightly, casting a shadow as fine as brushstrokes.

He was so handsome.

The next second, Lu Ran suddenly attacked Chuzheng.

The positions of the two reversed, with Lu Ran standing at the doorway. He quickly exited the room.

Chuzheng: “…” You kiss me and then get violent? Who gave you the gall!

Chuzheng immediately chased after him, and with a bang, the door shut automatically, Chuzheng thudding against it.

She leaned against the door for two seconds, then calmly backed away and pulled it open.

The outside was empty; Lu Ran was nowhere to be seen.

Chuzheng: “…”

He actually escaped!

This weakling actually tricked her! How dare he kiss her!!

Chuzheng kicked the door angrily.

No… wait.

This door just now?

Chuzheng rubbed her chin and walked in and out of the doorway twice.

The weakling even lied to her about not having a Special Ability!

Chuzheng kicked the door fiercely again.

Door: “…”

What did I do wrong?

–

Now away from that clutch, Lu Ran was confronting a man, his face swollen and bruised, the man hardly daring to breathe.

“Who ordered you to surveil?” The young man’s voice was crisp, cutting through the stifling weather and landing sharply in the man’s heart, as chilling as a glacier, which made the man shiver involuntarily.

The youth in front of him instilled fear.

“I was just… looking around…”

“Oh?” The youth bent down slightly, his fingertips grasping the man’s chin, his tone mocking: “I remember you.”

Man: “…”

This youth had kept his head down before, his hat concealing nearly everything, almost invisible.

He hadn’t gone in yet, instead merely encountering them on his way out, merely the briefest moment of passing by.

He hadn’t expected that the youth would remember him…

“Go back and tell your boss, dare to come over again, and watch your life.” The young man’s voice, though not threatening, was pleasant as if from the heavens, yet the man felt danger.

The youth snorted: “Scram.”

Lu Ran watched the man scurry away on all fours, touched his own hat, and muttered, “Why do I care so much?”

He shook his head and quickly left the place to avoid being caught and brought back again.
