Professor Wu glanced at Chu Luo, still a little worried.
“Really.” Chu Luo saw through his thoughts and said seriously, “Previously, my boyfriend and I went to the Qin family’s banquet and hit it off with Old Master Qin. He must have missed me, that’s why he invited me to talk with him.”
Chu Luo’s eyes were too clear, so Professor Wu couldn’t suspect anything. He thought for a while and said, “Then I’ll wait for you to get into the car before leaving. Call me if anything happens.”
“Okay.”
The car stopped by the road.
The car following them also stopped.
Chu Luo alighted and walked over. The chauffeur of the car behind even alighted and opened the door for her.
Chu Luo got in. When the car passed by Professor Wu’s car, she even waved at him.
After the car drove out, Chu Luo took out her earphones and listened to foreign language audio.
The chauffeur driving in front looked at her in the rearview mirror a few times. He thought to himself,?‘This person isn’t worried about herself at all. Could it be that she has already reported it to Master Li and that’s why she’s so fearless?’
At the thought of this, the chauffeur tightened his grip on the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator. He had to quickly bring this person to the Qin residence so that nothing unexpected would happen midway.
However, his premonition came true.
When the car drove to a remote street, a car with strong lights suddenly drove over.
The chauffeur narrowed his eyes and stepped on the accelerator.
The car in front stopped in the middle of the road.
The chauffeur thought to himself “Oh no” and quickly contacted the Qin family via his communicator.
At this moment, a clear voice came from behind. “I blocked your signal.”
At the same time, a person alighted from the car opposite and walked over with a powerful aura.
Chu Luo looked at him and said calmly, “Unlock the car door.”
The chauffeur was unwilling. Chu Luo smiled at him. “Are you sure you don’t want to open it? It’s Qin Ming, Li Yan’s right-hand man, who’s here now. Maybe Li Yan will come soon.”
Qin Ming knocked on the car window. The chauffeur’s hand trembled. He thought that someone would come soon and decided to delay for a while.
At this moment, Qin Ming took a step back, raised his leg, and kicked the driver’s seat door.
Bam!
The car trembled and a pit appeared on the door.
“See, the car door is broken.”
Chu Luo’s tone made the veins on the chauffeur’s forehead throb.
Unexpectedly, Qin Ming kicked it again.
Bam!
The car door was finally kicked open. Before the chauffeur could react, Qin Ming grabbed his collar and dragged him out.
“F*ck, do you know who my boss is? Let go!”
Qin Ming couldn’t be bothered to answer.
Chu Luo stopped him. “Qin Ming.”
Qin Ming turned around to look at her.
Chu Luo said, “This person is Old Master Qin’s subordinate.”
Qin Ming nodded. After dragging him out, he beat him up. After that person could no longer get up, he walked to the car and asked, “Miss Chu, you’re not getting off?”
Chu Luo pointed ahead. “Someone’s here.”
Qin Ming tilted his head and looked over.
A large group of guards strode over from the street. At the same time, another group of guards surrounded the end of the street.
Qin Ming was expressionless. “If Miss Chu wants to leave, we can break out of the encirclement.”
Chu Luo sat there and didn’t move. “Since Old Master Qin personally invited me over, I have to give him face.”
Qin Ming nodded and stood there without moving.
Chu Luo alighted from the car and the guards surrounded her.
The guard captain walked over and glanced at the person who couldn’t get up from the beating. He gestured for someone to take the person away before walking over to look at Chu Luo.
“You’re Chu Luo.”
Chu Luo pursed her lips and didn’t speak.
The guard captain was a little displeased and wanted to put her in her place. He said coldly, “You even dare to hit the people under Old Master Qin. Looks like you don’t know your place.”
“Am I not a student at Imperial University?”
After Chu Luo finished asking, the corners of her lips curled up slightly. She said, “Old Master Qin must have instructed you to invite me over. I can casually mention what your attitude is like in front of Old Master Qin later. What do you think will happen?”
The guard captain narrowed his eyes and a trace of anger flashed across them. After a few seconds, he snorted and said, “Miss Chu, please.”
Qin Ming suddenly said, “Miss Chu, take our own car.”
“You…” The guard captain’s eyes seemed like they could spit fire at any moment. In the end, he controlled his temper and said in a low voice, “Sure.”
After saying that, he raised his hand and gestured to all the guards. “Get in.”
Then, seven to eight cars drove with Chu Luo’s car towards the Qin residence.
Outside the Qin residence, there was no one besides a middle-aged man, waiting.
Chu Luo alighted. The middle-aged man walked over and said seriously, “Miss Chu, I’m Old Master Qin’s adjutant, Zhao He. Old Master Qin is waiting for you. Please follow me.”
With that, he led her inside.
Qin Ming followed.
Zhao He didn’t say anything. He led the two of them past the large building in front and walked inside from the left.
Along the way, besides the people patrolling, no one else from the Qin family appeared.
The three of them walked for about ten minutes before arriving outside a particularly quiet courtyard.
The weather wasn’t good tonight. It was past seven in the evening, and the sky had darkened. There was also a strong wind, and it was obvious that there would be rain.
When Zhao He led the two of them to the door of a courtyard, he suddenly stopped and said to Qin Ming, “Mr. Qin, please wait.”
“No.” Qin Ming blocked Chu Luo by his side. “Master has given me orders. I must not leave Miss Chu’s side.”
Zhao He was silent for a moment before gesturing for them to enter. “Please.”
There were a few large ginkgo trees in the courtyard where Old Master Qin lived. It was the season for ginkgo leaves to fall. The golden ginkgo leaves fell to the ground. When the three of them walked over, there was a crackling sound.
There seemed to be only a few guards standing guard in the courtyard, but Qin Ming had tensed his muscles since he entered. It was obvious that countless people were lying in ambush.
Chu Luo pretended to know nothing and followed behind Zhao He.
Soon, the three of them reached the door.
The door was closed and the living room was brightly lit.
Zhao He stopped and said to Qin Ming in a firm tone, “Old Master Qin is in the living room. Mr. Qin, please wait.”
Qin Ming tightened his expressionless face and didn’t speak.
The two of them stared at each other.
Chu Luo looked at the two of them and then at the door.
At this moment, a serious old man’s voice came from inside. “Since Chu Luo is here, come in.”
Chu Luo pushed open the door and walked in.
Qin Ming wanted to follow her in, but Zhao He blocked him.
Chu Luo turned around and said to Qin Ming, “Old Master Qin won’t do anything to me.”
After saying that, she looked at the old man sitting in the armchair.
The old man was wearing a Chinese tunic suit. The aura of a ruler on him was especially domineering. Especially his eyes, which were sharp and serious. When he stared at people, they became even more stern.
“You are Chu Luo.”
“Yes.”
“Sit.”
There were a few chairs in the living room and one beside Old Master Qin. There were a few chairs to his left and right. Old Master Qin didn’t tell her which one to sit on. Chu Luo walked to the seat beside his and sat down.
Old Master Qin sized her up with his sharp gaze and said sternly, “Do you know where you’re sitting?”
Chu Luo looked back into his eyes and smiled innocently. “Can’t I sit here? But I like sitting here.”
Old Master Qin stared at her sharply for a few seconds before saying, “You’re quite bold.”
“If I were too timid, I would be at the mercy of the Qin family by now. I don’t want to be Yan’s burden.”
“Have you never thought that you’ve already become Li Yan’s burden here?”
“You want to detain me?”
“You think I don’t dare?”
Chu Luo shrugged. “You can’t lock me up.”
“Young lady, how arrogant.”
“Don’t you believe me?”
After Chu Luo finished speaking, she disappeared in the next second.
Surprise flashed across Old Master Qin’s eyes. In the next second, he regained his composure. “You’re indeed the person who injured my grandson.”
“Wrong.” Chu Luo appeared and corrected him. “Qin Zhao wanted to do something to me. I was just teaching him which people shouldn’t be provoked.”
Old Master Qin didn’t retort. He stared at her and asked, “Who are you?”
“Who am I? Didn’t your family send someone to investigate?”
“You can’t be Chu Luo from Ocean City’s Chu family. Could it be… that you’re an outsider who occupied this body?!”
There were many things in this world that science couldn’t explain. With Old Master Qin’s status, he had seen many things. Chu Luo wasn’t surprised that he would guess this. She only smiled and said, “As someone from one of the two top families in the empire, don’t tell me that Old Master Qin always speaks without evidence?”
“I’ll definitely send someone to look for the evidence.”
A sharp glint flashed across Old Master Qin’s eyes and his body exuded an oppressive aura. He stared at Chu Luo and warned:
“But let me give you a piece of advice. It’s best to leave a way out. If you fall in the gutter one day, the consequences will definitely not be something a young lady like you can withstand.”
“You don’t have to worry about that. If there’s nothing else, I’m going back to eat.”
Chu Luo stood up.
Old Master Qin stared at her but didn’t stop her.
After Chu Luo took two steps, he suddenly said, “Regardless of whether you’re the real Chu Luo or not, this body of yours belongs to the Chu family. Now, your only relative, Chu Zhengyang, has gone to the northwest desert to look for an ancient tomb. With just one word from me, he will never return.”
When Chu Luo heard this, she suddenly turned around and smiled at him. Then, she left without saying anything.
When she reached the door, she suddenly stopped and said, “That’s not all I’m capable of. So you better not disturb my life. Otherwise, I can make you experience the consequences suffered by the two Puppet Masters you sent to Ocean City last time.”
After Chu Luo had left, the masters of the Qin family walked angrily from a room beside the living room.
“Father, that Chu Luo is so arrogant! Why didn’t you get someone to stop her?”
Old Master Qin glanced at Second Master Qin coldly and said in a low voice, “Foolish. Don’t make a move until we know her background.
“Go and find a few masters who know how to collect souls. Also… send someone to get close to her.”
“Yes.”
