Li Yan actually didn’t stop them and let them leave just like that.
Chu Luo turned to Li Yan.
Li Yan said to Qin Ming, who was standing behind him, “Deal with those people.”
Qin Ming led his men into the restaurant.
The group of Student Union cadres standing beside Chu Luo didn’t dare to make a sound.
At this moment, Nangong Yi said, “Junior, since Mr. Li is here, we’ll go back first.”
Chu Luo nodded at him.
Li Yan said to the bodyguards behind him, “Send them back.”
One of the bodyguards walked over and said to them, “Everyone, please.”
After everyone from the Student Union got into the car, Chu Luo frowned and told Li Yan about the burly men who had suddenly barged in.
Then, she said, “These people ate a mind-controlling drug. Before they entered, I felt an energy fluctuation nearby, but that energy fluctuation quickly left.”
Li Yan said, “They’re not from the same batch. Old Master Qin called to tell me about your accident.”
When Chu Luo heard this, she sneered and said, “Old Master Qin? How laughable. What does he want to do now? He wants to express his goodwill to you so that you won’t attack their businesses again.”
“Partly.” Li Yan wrapped his arm around her shoulder and walked towards the car.
As he walked, he said, “Old Master Qin announced that he will give up on the businesses he owns today.”
“What are they trying to do? Hide their strength?”
Chu Luo suddenly thought of what Neeson had said and told him.
Li Yan was silent for a few seconds before frowning. “The Qin family should have already thought of other ways to get money.”
“What way? The money the Qin family wants isn’t a small sum.”
At this point, Chu Luo suddenly had an idea.
“The Qin family must want to go down to that ancient tomb and take out the treasures in it!” The Kingdom of Phoenix Skies was rich and powerful. Many treasures must have been buried with the emperors when they were buried.
“Yeah.”
Chu Luo exuded a powerful anger. “I see.”
She also suddenly understood why they had rented Neeson’s robots.
“They must want Neeson’s robots to help them scout the tomb.”
At this point, she snorted. “Neeson said that he works for money. As long as the other party pays, he will rent his robots to the other party.
“I really wonder if Neeson is really willing to rent the robots to them or if he’s deliberately renting it to them so that these people can take out the treasures in the tomb. Then, he’ll sit back and reap the benefits.”
“Although Neeson ate the fish spirit’s Amnesia Pill, he only forgets people. As a member of Ink Feather, the things carved into his bones won’t change.”
“What kind of an organization is Ink Feather?”
“An organization that doesn’t have a concept of good or evil, or a concept of right or wrong. An organization gathered by a group of super modern technological geniuses. As long as they’re satisfied with the money given, they will help whoever’s paying them do anything.
“Everyone wants to subdue them, but they can’t. They want to kill them, but they can’t bear to.”
Chu Luo could understand this feeling. She had often had such thoughts when facing Neeson.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so grumpy every time she saw Neeson.
Not long after the car drove out, Li Yan received a call.
After he hung up the phone, he said to Chu Luo, “Those people who are being controlled by drugs are a group of merchants from the north who do the fur business. My men found out that they were drugged before they came to the capital. The person who drugged them is missing.”
“In that case, these people had planned this. If I didn’t come here tonight, would they have appeared wherever I went?”
“Yeah.”
As Li Yan spoke, he exuded a strong murderous aura.
Chu Luo grabbed his large hand and said, “Don’t be angry. These people can’t do anything to me.”
At this point, she thought of the energy fluctuation that had left quickly. “I think that the energy fluctuation I felt before was supposed to go to the private restaurant. He only left after seeing those people enter.”
Li Yan was silent for a while before saying, “Mm. I’ll continue to send people to look for that person. If nothing goes wrong, the person with the energy fluctuation was sent by the Qin family.”
Chu Luo thought so too.
“Then… who exactly made those people controlled by the drug come here?”
There were many people who wanted to deal with Li Yan, especially since he had released the news that the Qin family had frozen Blazing Glory Corporation’s funds, and that all the money had gone missing.
That was a number that could make people crazy. There were definitely many people who wanted to obtain it.
The car quickly drove back to the villa at Imperial Sky Park.
Li Yan went to the study.
Chu Luo sat on the sofa and called Jin Hui.
Jin Hui told her, “Master Chu, don’t worry. I didn’t tell Mr. Gao the exact situation. I merely discussed metaphysics with him.”
Chu Luo was a little surprised. “Teacher Gao believes in metaphysics?”
“At first, he didn’t believe in it, but he probably did later,” Jin Hui said with a smile. “Mr. Gao is a very candid teacher. Master Chu, don’t worry too much. I believe you can transfer the Gu worm in his brain away soon.”
Chu Luo’s original intention was to give Old Gao a heads up. Hearing Jin Hui’s words, she was relieved.
She planned to look for the person who cast the Gu poison in the next few days.
The two of them spoke a few more words before hanging up.
Half an hour later, Anya’s displeased voice suddenly came from outside the door.
“Hey, can you walk slower?”
“I’m just asking you to bring me in. What kind of expression is that? Blockhead Qin, let me tell you. We’re not done with you knocking into me last time.”
Chu Luo looked up and happened to see Qin Ming and Anya walking in.
Qin Ming was expressionless. After walking in, he asked Chu Luo, “Miss Chu, where is Master?”
Chu Luo pointed upstairs. “The study.”
Qin Ming walked towards the study upstairs.
Anya glared at Qin Ming’s back and exhaled angrily.
Chu Luo looked at her and saw that she looked good and could even walk. She nodded and said, “Looks like you’re already cured.”
Only then did Anya retract her gaze. She walked to Chu Luo’s side and said in a surprised tone, “Chu, the ointment you gave me was awesome. I only used it a few times and all my injuries were healed.”
“Mm. You’re not here to thank me at this time, are you?”
“That’s half the reason.”
Anya sat down beside her and said to her, “Aren’t you very concerned about that ancient tomb? I happened to receive some news, so I came over to tell you.”
“What news?”
“My royal brother said that those people will come here at the beginning of next month. They will team up to enter the desert to look for the ancient tomb.”
Chu Luo frowned. “Do these people really think that there’s no one in the empire left? Are they planning to team up to steal?”
“Er…” Anya was stunned for a moment before saying, “No, they joined the archeology team. When the time comes, they will meet up with your empire’s archeology team and go to the tomb together. ”
“What difference does it make? It’s just that they’re going from secretly stealing to openly stealing.”
Anya shrugged. “My brother said that the tomb is very dangerous. The Empire’s archeology team invited those people to go down together. To put it bluntly, they wanted to borrow their manpower and resources to get what they needed.”
“Hmph!”
Chu Luo snorted.
Seeing that Chu Luo was unhappy to hear this, Anya changed the topic. She asked, “Chu, are you free tomorrow?”
“No.”
“…Aren’t you going to ask me why I’m asking you this?”
“I’m not free in any case. Why bother?”
“Alright.” Anya admitted defeat and said directly, “I heard that there is an expert in your empire’s monastery who can foretell a person’s marriage. I’m going to consult him tomorrow.”
When Anya said that, Chu Luo looked at her with bright eyes. “As a princess, do you still need to ask about marriage?”
Anya looked at her as if she didn’t know what she was talking about. “Do you think the princess’s marriage is decided by herself? I plan to ask who my destined one is. If it’s not the one my father is setting me up with, I would be able to escape the marriage.”
“What if it is?”
“Then… I’ll get along with that person first. Isn’t there a saying in your empire that fate is destined? Since he’s the destined one, why should I escape?”
Chu Luo actually had nothing to say.
At this moment, two sets of footsteps came from upstairs.
The two of them turned around and saw Li Yan and Qin Ming walking down the stairs.
The two of them had tall and straight figures. Coupled with their powerful auras, they simply gave people an oppressive feeling.
Chu Luo looked at Li Yan.
Li Yan said, “It won’t be peaceful for a while.”
Chu Luo nodded and turned to look at Anya. She said straightforwardly, “Anya, you should go back.”
Anya stood up tactfully and said considerately, “Then I won’t disturb you two from your alone time.”
After saying that, she looked at Qin Ming. “Hey, Blockhead, send me out.”
Qin Ming looked at her, his eyes saying, ‘Nope, no way.’
Anya snorted in her heart and turned to Chu Luo. “Chu, what do I do? My legs are still in pain. Am I going to be crippled?”
Chu Luo looked at Anya in amusement. She knew that if this person didn’t vent her anger towards Qin Ming, she would definitely not stop.
She nodded and said seriously, “You’d better walk less for now. Also, you’d better not be angry. There are repercussions from a concussion. Maybe if you get too angry, you’ll turn into a fool.”
Anya: “…”
Anya looked at Qin Ming with a message in her eyes: ‘Did you hear that? My injuries were caused by you. You have to be responsible until the end.’
Qin Ming looked at her with a straight face.
Anya stood up from the sofa and walked up to Qin Ming. “Send me back.”
With that, she walked out.
After a few seconds, Qin Ming followed.
