Chapter 497: Lifting the Blanket
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The bedroom was already in a mess from the fight, but no one moved from the bed.
Especially the two lumps on the bed. Even though she was covered by the blanket and nothing could be seen, it made others’ imagination run wild.
When Wu Yiyao saw this, she asked Chu Luo in surprise, “Little Chu, is there someone else up there?”
“Mm, someone they didn’t expect.”
Wu Yiyao was a little curious. “Who is it?”
Chu Luo kept her in suspense. “Guess.”
She then walked to Li Yan’s side and grabbed his large hand.
Li Yan immediately felt her presence.
Chu Luo sent him a voice transmission. “The Qin family and the Duanmu family are both involved. Since they like to act, let’s put on a show to play with them later.”
Li Yan didn’t move. His gaze was fixed on the bed, but he quietly grabbed Chu Luo’s hand and wrote on it. “Get out. It’s been arranged.”
Chu Luo immediately understood what he meant and pulled her hand out of his.
She originally wanted to leave immediately, but when she saw Li Yan’s cold face, her eyes darted around and she suddenly felt a little mischievous.
She walked up to him, wrapped her arms around his neck, stood on tiptoes, and kissed him on the lips.
When she kissed his lips, she felt his body tense up and his eyes darken.
Chu Luo quickly let go of him and turned to leave.
Wu Yiyao, who was also invisible and could see Chu Luo, couldn’t help but laugh at Chu Luo’s mischievousness.
Chu Luo walked up to her and said, “Sister Wu, I’m going out. Are you coming with me or do you want to stay here and watch the show?”
Wu Yiyao said, “Let’s leave after they lift the blanket.”
Chu Luo thought for a while and nodded.
At this moment, one of the men from the Qin family said, “Could it be Young Master Shang and…” At this point, the man deliberately looked at Li Yan with sympathy in his eyes.
Li Yan glared at that man and said in a low voice, “Take off the blanket.”
“This… this isn’t a good idea.” A layer of cold sweat appeared on Shang Lihai’s forehead as he tried to explain to Li Yan. “CEO Li, it can’t be Miss Chu on the bed.”
Li Yan snorted. “Definitely not.”
Eldest Master Duanmu said in a commanding tone, “Since Li Yan insists, lift the blanket and let everyone take a look.”
Li Yan suddenly glanced at Eldest Master Duanmu coldly.
Duanmu Rui was displeased with Li Yan’s gaze and said, “Li Yan, what kind of gaze is that? We weren’t the ones who captured Chu Luo.”
After Duanmu Rui finished speaking, he saw that Shang Lihai didn’t dare to walk over, so he simply walked over to help him remove the blanket.
When the blanket was lifted, everyone was dumbfounded.
Under the blanket were Shang Yu and Qin Xin.
There were marks on their shoulders, especially Qin Xin. It was impossible to explain even if she wanted to.
After being stunned for a moment, the Qin family exploded.
Qin Xiang roared in exasperation, “Shang Lihai, tell me clearly what your son did to my sister.”
The other three men from the Qin family were also stunned for a moment before they attacked the Shang family at the same time.
“Shang Lihai, your son actually dares to ruin Xinxin’s innocence. Our Qin family won’t let you off just like that!”
“That’s right. You have to give us an explanation.”
…
The people from the Duanmu family didn’t expect the Shang family to do such a thing to betray them. All of them looked fiercely at Shang Lihai.
Shang Zhihai’s face was so pale that he looked like he would faint in the next second.
He instantly sobered up from all the wine he had drunk previously, and cold sweat dripped down her forehead.
Shang Zhihai was furious. He ran over in exasperation and slapped Shang Yu. “You unfilial son, I will beat you to death today.”
As Shang Yu was too drunk, he only frowned and wasn’t sober.
Qin Fei sneered, “Shang Lihai, if you kill Shang Yu, do you not want to be responsible for our sister?”
The others from the Qin family also thought of something and looked fiercely at Shang Lihai.
Qin Xiang even said in a benevolent tone, “Wake him up first. If my sister fancies Shang Yu, he must marry my sister. Our Qin family can’t afford to lose face like this.”
Li Yan wasn’t interested in their matters and said in a low voice, “I don’t care about the Qin family and the Shang family. If we can’t find Luoluo tonight, no one can leave.”
Li Yan’s words immediately reminded everyone.
Eldest Master Duanmu felt that his dignity had been provoked. As a ruler, who would dare to be so impudent in front of him? He first asked in displeasure, “Li Yan, who are you to say these words in front of me? How dare you detain me!”
Li Yan looked at him coldly. “If I can’t find Luoluo, see if I dare.”
“Li Yan, I advise you not to be too arrogant!”
Seeing Eldest Master Duanmu and Li Yan’s red eyes, the Qin siblings quietly looked at each other. Qin Peng stood up and said,
“I say, Eldest Master Duanmu, he’s anxious because his girlfriend has been kidnapped by the Shang family. You can’t take it after simply hearing a few unpleasant words. To think you’re Minister XX. You don’t even have such tolerance.”
Eldest Master Duanmu looked at him as if he was looking at rubbish. “Who are you to dare to say this to me here?”
Qin Peng’s expression twisted. Then, he smiled and said, “Who am I? You can ask my grandfather. My grandfather personally sent someone to find me.”
“Hmph! An illegitimate son. You’re simply embarrassing yourself.”
“So what if I’m an illegitimate child? An illegitimate child is better than a person like you who’s arrogant and doesn’t think for others.”
“You…”
The two of them were about to argue.
Li Yan’s phone suddenly rang.
After he took it out to answer the call, he glanced at the people from the Duanmu family and the Qin family and said to the person on the other end of the line in a cold voice, “Restrain all of them. I’ll personally come and interrogate them.”
Li Yan then turned to leave.
Everyone in the bedroom subconsciously followed.
Everyone quickly followed Li Yan out of the villa.
Qin Ming stood outside the villa.
He was holding a gun and blood in his hand.
He said to Li Yan, “We caught both parties tonight.”
Qin Ming’s words made the pupils of the Duanmu and Qin families tighten.
The Shang family also trembled.
When Li Yan heard this, he sneered. “Lead the way.”
Qin Ming turned around and led him to the side.
Qin Ming brought everyone to the servant area behind the Shang family villa.
Tonight, the servants of the Shang family were all busy in front. This place was quiet and dark, especially since there was no light in the row of houses here. As they walked, they felt a chill down their spines at the thought that Li Yan’s men had captured two batches of people.
They weren’t in the area where the servants lived. Instead, they passed by a small forest.
Behind the forest was the wall.
Looking at the group of people holding firearms facing those people, Eldest Master Duanmu said in displeasure, “Li Yan, do you have any regard for the empire’s laws? To think you’re hiding so many firearms!”
Li Yan couldn’t be bothered to look at him.
The Qin family quickly glanced at each other.
After Li Yan approached, the bodyguards opened up a path.
Everyone looked at the group of people who had been beaten up badly and were squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands.
Duanmu Rui said angrily, “Li Yan, how about this? Hand them to us and we’ll definitely help you find out who the mastermind is.”
“Maybe it’s someone from your Duanmu family. Wouldn’t that make it easier to silence them?” Qin Xiang mocked.
“Qin Xiang, I advise you not to spout nonsense. Even if you’re from the Qin family, if you say something wrong, don’t blame us for being rude.”
“Hmph! Am I wrong?”
Li Yan glanced at the two sides and walked up to the group of people. “Where is Luoluo?”
“Yan, I’m here.”
When Chu Luo spoke, everyone realized that she and Wu Yiyao were opposite.
Chu Luo and Wu Yiyao walked over. They were covered in mud and their faces were a little dirty. They looked like they had escaped earlier.
When Li Yan saw her, he immediately pulled her into his arms.
Chu Luo patted his back and said, “Yan, we’re fine.”
Then, she said seriously, “Sister Wu and I were first caught by this group of people. They wanted to take us away, but then they were caught by someone with special abilities. Luckily, your people rushed over in time.”
“Do you know who sent them?”
“I do.”
Chu Luo pulled out of Li Yan’s arms and pointed at the people squatting there. “They’re from the Duanmu family.”
“Chu Luo, you’re spouting nonsense!” Duanmu Zhixuan immediately shouted. “How could our Duanmu family have sent someone to catch you?”
“Ha, I’m spouting nonsense? These people said it themselves. How can I be spouting nonsense?”
Li Yan glanced at Duanmu Zhixuan as if he wanted to eat her alive and asked, “Who was the one who sent the person with special abilities?”
“The Qin family.”
“How is that possible? Our Qin family didn’t send anyone to do anything to you.”
The Qin family and the Duanmu family denied at the same time.
Chu Luo curled her lips and said, “We’ll know if it is or not after we ask them.”
