“Sun, how dare you!”
“Ahhh… Let go of us. We have to call our grandfather!”
Bang!
After a gunshot, everyone shut up. Third Master Sun shouted, “Whoever dares to nag again, I’ll shoot… take him away.”
The group of people was taken away by the Sun family’s guards.
Third Master Sun wasn’t afraid of causing trouble at all.
After taking them away, Third Master Sun walked up to Chu Luo and Li Yan.
He first looked at Li Yan with a complicated gaze and raised his hand to slap his shoulder as if to punish him. He gritted his teeth and said, “You’re really good at scheming.”
After saying that, he looked at Chu Luo and his expression immediately became much more amiable. “Little Chu, Grandpa Sun talks about you every day. When are you free to see him?”
Chu Luo tilted her head to look at Li Yan and nodded at Third Master Sun. “I’ll go over this weekend.”
“Okay, okay.” Third Master Sun was satisfied. “Then we’ll go back first. The Duanmu family and the Qin family should be here soon to demand their release. I’ll go back and discuss with the others how to punish them.”
Li Yan said, “I have evidence of what both families had done. I’ll send someone over when the time comes.”
When Third Master Sun heard this, he looked at him in surprise and nodded. “Alright, as long as we have evidence, the good days of these two families will come to an end.”
With that, he shouted at Sun Tianhao and left.
As Sun Tianhao left, he said to Chu Luo, “Chu Luo, I’ll go to your school next Monday.”
Before Chu Luo could answer him, Li Yan glared at her and wrapped his arm around her shoulder before walking away.
Sun Tianhao made a ‘tsk’ sound in dissatisfaction and left.
After the people from the Duanmu and Qin families were taken away by the Sun family, the remaining Shang family people felt like they had been struck by a bolt out of the blue. Their faces were pale and they looked like they were about to faint immediately.
Li Yan glanced at the Shang family and said to Qin Ming, “Call the car over.”
Qin Ming nodded at him and was about to use his communicator to contact the car to come to the back door.
Chu Luo thought of Professor Wu and the others and quickly said, “Wait, let Professor Wu and the others leave with us.”
Then, she looked at Wu Yiyao, who was protected by a bodyguard.
Wu Yiyao had just witnessed the internal strife between the few families and was still in shock.
It wasn’t until Chu Luo called her that she snapped back to reality and asked, “Little Chu, are you guys going back?”
Chu Luo nodded. “We’ll wait here. Get the bodyguards to bring Professor Wu and your cousin over from the front yard.”
Wu Yiyao nodded.
Chu Luo instructed two bodyguards to bring people over.
At this moment, Shang Lihai finally came back to his senses and asked carefully, “Master… Master Li, about tonight…”
Li Yan threw a cold glance at him and Shang Lihai instantly cowered.
Li Yan said, “You can tell Old Master Duanmu about this immediately. Also, help me pass on a message: If your Duanmu family attacks Luoluo again, we’ll be enemies.”
When Shang Lihai heard this, his legs went limp and he fell to the ground. The cold sweat on his forehead looked like it was raining and he was about to faint.
At this moment, he was so frightened that he couldn’t speak.
Chu Luo and the others waited for more than ten minutes before the two bodyguards brought Professor Wu and Tan Junhua over.
Both of them looked like they had drunk quite a bit, but they weren’t so drunk that they couldn’t walk.
After Professor Wu came over, he looked at Shang Lihai and the other Shang family members who were standing silently at the side and asked Wu Yiyao strangely, “Little Yao, what’s going on?”
Wu Yiyao gave him a look to stop him from asking.
Professor Wu immediately understood and stopped asking.
Chu Luo said, “Professor Wu, Yan asked the car to drive to the back door. Give your car keys to the bodyguards and take our car later.”
Professor Wu didn’t refuse and took out his car key.
A bodyguard went over to take the key, and everyone walked towards the opened back door.
The Shang family didn’t dare to come out to send them off.
After the car had driven away and they couldn’t hear anything, Shang Lihai quickly took out his phone. Perhaps his hand was trembling too much, so he searched in his pocket for a while before taking out his phone.
After taking out his phone, he dialed a number in a daze.
The moment the other party picked up the call, his lips trembled as he said, “Bad… bad news. Eldest Master, Young Master Rui, and Miss Zhixuan have been taken away by the Sun family.”
The other party’s voice deepened. “What happened?”
Shang Lihai quickly told him what had happened.
When the other party heard this, he hung up.
Before Shang Lihai even put away his phone, he rolled his eyes and fainted.
That night, there was a storm in the capital. The winds and clouds changed drastically. Everyone in the upper-class society of the capital keenly sensed the undercurrents between the upper echelons and started to consider taking sides and getting away.
That night, many people were destined to be unable to sleep.
After Li Yan returned, he went straight to the study.
He only returned to the bedroom when it was almost dawn.
Chu Luo felt a familiar aura and subconsciously leaned into his arms.
After her waist was hugged, she closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck. “Why did you only come back at this time?”
Li Yan kissed her forehead and patted her back. “I’ve resolved something. Sleep first. It’s only past four. I’ll tell you what you want to know tomorrow morning.”
“Mm.”
Chu Luo quickly fell asleep again.
The next day, when Chu Luo opened her eyes, she saw a stubble on the chin of the man beside her. She quietly raised her head and touched his chin.
Just as she was about to retract her hand, a large hand grabbed it.
Then, she met that deep gaze.
“Am I disturbing you?”
“No, I’m already awake.”
The two of them got up to wash up after being intimate for a while.
After washing up and walking downstairs, Li Yan briefly told Chu Luo about what happened last night.
“Last night, Old Master Duanmu and Old Master Qin personally went to the Sun family to ask for their family members’ return but were chased away by Old Master Sun. Old Master Sun said that since they wanted to kidnap you, they should be prepared to be punished.”
Chu Luo was a little surprised that the three old masters had all taken action. She asked, “Didn’t they say that Old Master Qin is bedridden?”
“The Qin family knows many people with special abilities.”
Hearing Li Yan say that, Chu Luo suddenly became a little suspicious. “Yan, do you think Old Master Qin planted a Gu worm in his body? There’s a Gu worm that can control a person’s health, but this Gu consumes a person’s lifespan.”
Li Yan lowered his eyes to think for a moment and nodded. “Very possible.”
Then, he said, “Old Master Duanmu called me last night and promised me many benefits.”
“Ha!” Chu Luo sneered. “Even though he knows that his son and grandson are hostile to you, he always puts it lightly. If he really likes you, he should take his sons and grandsons in hand. To put it bluntly, it’s because you’re a businessman with no power.”
Old Master Duanmu’s thoughts were actually very easy to guess.
However, Li Yan had always owed Old Master Duanmu a favor. In the past, as long as the Duanmu family didn’t go overboard, he could turn a blind eye. But now, he had Chu Luo.
Chu Luo was his reverse scale1. Whoever wanted to touch her, he could fight them to the death, let alone the descendants of Old Master Duanmu, whose kindness he had long repaid.
When the two of them went downstairs, Qin Ming and Secretary Tan were standing there.
Chu Luo looked at Tan Yinfei in surprise and asked, “Why is Secretary Tan here?”
Li Yan told her, “I’m going to the Sun residence today.”
Chu Luo was a little surprised. “You’re personally sending the evidence over?”
“Mm.”
Chu Luo immediately understood his intentions. He was planning to openly support the Sun family.
She thought for a while and nodded. “The Sun family are martial artists. They’re all very frank and won’t have those scheming thoughts. They can be helped.”
“Mm,” Li Yan said. “Eat first. I’ll send you to school after you’re done. Be careful for the next two days.”
“I know. No one can hurt me.”
The four of them sat down to eat breakfast.
After breakfast, Li Yan sent Chu Luo to school.
Li Yan’s car had just left when Wang Mingtao and Roundy ran over.
“Sister Chu, ha…”
Chu Luo looked at Wang Mingtao, who had dark eye circles, and asked Roundy, “Roundy, what’s wrong with Taozi? Did he not sleep last night?”
Roundy said to Chu Luo in disdain, “Sister Chu, you have no idea. Last night, I didn’t let Peach play games and he actually couldn’t sleep at night.”
Chu Luo looked at Wang Mingtao, who was scratching his head and smiling at her in embarrassment. She said, “You can’t sleep without playing a game!”
“Hehe… Erm… Sister Chu, I’m just used to touching my computer and logging in every night when I go back. Roundy is too heartless. The moment we went back, he wanted me to help my mother. Otherwise, he’ll make me read.”
Roundy complained about him in dissatisfaction, “Helping your parents work is the best way to improve family ties. I only asked you to wash the dishes for Mommy Wang.”
Wang Mingtao said forcefully, “Then I’ll study for three hours at night and play games for a while before sleeping. I already promised you that I would only play for half an hour, but you still refused.”
Roundy said, “You’re simply unreasonable. We agreed not to play games from Monday to Friday.”
Chu Luo looked at Wang Mingtao with bright eyes.
Wang Mingtao couldn’t continue speaking under her stare.
Chu Luo raised her hand and patted Roundy. “Good job, Roundy.”
Roundy proudly released fireworks in his electronic eyes.
Chu Luo said to Wang Mingtao, “I’ll get Roundy to go to your house for the next two weeks. Take him wherever you go.”
Wang Mingtao’s eyes were sparkling with anticipation. “Then Sister Chu… Can Roundy and I play games on the weekend?”
Chu Luo: “…”
