Chapter 609 The Secret on the Bottle
When the two of them chased after the merfolk, Li Yan’s men had already sent the Wang couple back to their house.
Chu Luo and Li Yan went to the Wang residence first.
When the Wang couple didn’t see Wang Mingtao, Mommy Wang couldn’t stand the blow and fainted.
Chu Luo fed Mommy Wang a pill and let her have a good sleep. After that, she, Li Yan, and Daddy Wang sat on the sofa in the living room.
Daddy Wang sat there and seemed to have instantly aged dozens of years. He rubbed his face fiercely and said with self-reproach, regret, and sadness, “If I had known that girl was so evil, I wouldn’t have let Taozi leave the capital with us.”
He would rather he was the one who was taken away. The thought of his son’s current life and death was heart-wrenching.
Chu Luo opened her mouth to comfort Daddy Wang, but she didn’t know what to say.
She subconsciously grabbed Li Yan’s hand and her heart tightened.
Li Yan grabbed her hand and said to Daddy Wang, “Uncle Wang, Taozi is still safe for now. I’ll do my best to save him.”
“Really?” Daddy Wang’s gloomy eyes lit up. He sat up straight and asked anxiously, “Is Taozi really safe? Then… where is he now? Have your men found him? Can they really save him?”
After saying that, hope appeared in his eyes.
Li Yan looked into his eyes and said, “Sorry, I can’t guarantee that.”
The light in Daddy Wang’s eyes darkened again. He raised his hands and covered his eyes.
Chu Luo grabbed Li Yan’s finger and said to Daddy Wang, “Uncle Wang, don’t worry. As long as there’s a trace of hope, we will think of ways to save Taozi.”
Daddy Wang nodded at them after a while.
Looking at his red eyes, Chu Luo became even more determined to save Wang Mingtao.
Daddy Wang said, “I believe you, but… you have to be careful.”
After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the bedroom. As he walked, he said, “I’ll go see the child’s mother. Take a seat first. If… you’re going back, help me close the door.” “Okay, Uncle Wang.”
After Daddy Wang walked into the bedroom, Chu Luo pressed her forehead against Li Yan’s shoulder and said, “I feel terrible seeing Uncle Wang and the others so sad.”
Li Yan wrapped his arm around her shoulder and helped her up. “I’ll think of a way to hold those people back. I’ll go to Europe in a few days.”
“Why are you going over there?”
“Go deal with the people who hired the assassin organization and Ink Feather to deal with me.”
Chu Luo frowned and felt a little uneasy. She said, “Then I’ll go with you.”
Li Yan looked at her face and touched it before responding with an “Mm.”
The two of them walked out of the Wang residence.
It was already five o’clock. In two hours, the sky would brighten.
After returning home, Qin Ming and Anya were both there.
The two of them sat on the sofa. Qin Ming still had that expressionless face, but he was holding a cup of warm milk and forcing Anya to drink it.
The moment Li Yan walked into the living room, he gestured for Qin Ming to go to the study with him.
Only then did Anya reluctantly take the glass of milk from Qin Ming’s hand. Seeing Chu Luo’s expression, she quickly asked, “Chu, what’s
wrong?”
When Anya asked Chu Luo, Snowball ran out of its nest and climbed onto her shoulder. It smartly rubbed its head against her neck as if it was comforting her.
Chu Luo raised her hand to stroke its head and asked, “Why did a pregnant woman like you come over at this time?”
“I feel a little uneasy that Blockhead didn’t come back in the middle of the night,” Anya said. She rubbed her stomach and said in frustration, “I don’t know what’s been going on recently. As long as Blockhead doesn’t come back, I can’t sleep at night.”
Chu Luo held her wrist to take her pulse and said to her, “You’ve been thinking too much recently. This will affect the fetus. You have to adjust your emotions yourself.” Anya also knew that this wasn’t good. She said in a vexed tone, “I have no choice… Chu, you have no idea. I keep feeling that my brothers will do something recently. Last night, my mother called me and said that my second brother has been making Father angry these past two days. Father is so angry that he has had a headache for a few nights.”
Chu Luo patted her shoulder comfortingly. “It’s useless for you to be anxious about this matter. The king will definitely resolve it.”
Anya nodded and changed the topic. “Chu, what did you guys do tonight?”
Chu Luo briefly told her what had happened.
Anya frowned and anger appeared on her face. “These people are too evil. They always target the people around you.”
Chu Luo frowned and decided to make more aggressive talismans and pills tomorrow. She would let everyone who was close to her carry more of those.
Perhaps because Chu Luo was accompanying her, Anya was tired not long after.
Seeing her nodding off, Chu Luo said, “If you’re tired, sleep for a while.” “No, I have to wait for Blockhead,” Anya said stubbornly.
Chu Luo placed Snowball on her shoulder.
To her surprise, Snowball didn’t run away from her shoulder.
Anya was delighted. She raised her hand to touch Snowball, but in the next second, she entered a dream.
Chu Luo stood up and placed Anya’s feet on the sofa, before changing a blanket to cover her.
Snowball immediately jumped from Anya’s shoulder into Chu Luo’s arms and called out to it unhappily.
Chu Luo rubbed its head and said to it, “Anya is my friend. Don’t be so fierce to her.” Snowball rubbed against her palm and called out again as if in compromise.
Chu Luo rubbed its head in relief.
Li Yan and Qin Ming only came out of the study at around six.
The first thing Qin Ming did after going downstairs was to look for Anya. Seeing that she was sleeping on the sofa, he walked over and wrapped her in a blanket before carrying her. He lowered his voice and said to Chu Luo and Li Yan, “I’ll go back first.”
With that, he carried Anya away.
Li Yan walked over and wrapped his arm around Chu Luo’s shoulder. “Go sleep for a while since you’re going to school later.”
As Chu Luo was led away, she asked, “When are you going to Europe?” “Three days later.”
Chu Luo nodded and said, “I’m not tired. I want to make more talismans and medicine. When the time comes, I’ll give them to the people I know.”
Li Yan insisted, “Sleep for two hours first. It’s not too late to do this when you get up.”
Chu Luo wanted to say something. Li Yan simply picked her up horizontally. Chu Luo quickly hugged his shoulder.
Li Yan said, “Be obedient.”
Chu Luo looked at the dark circles under his eyes and thought for a while before leaning her head in his arms.
The two of them went to sleep for two hours
Li Yan went to the office after breakfast.
Chu Luo first went to accompany the Wang couple for a while before going to the villa at the back to pick herbs.
In the afternoon, Yu Tong suddenly called her.
Yu Tong said to her excitedly on the phone, “President, President Nangong called me this morning.”
Chu Luo asked casually, “What did Senior say to you that made you so agitated?”
Yu Tong smiled and said, “He didn’t say anything. He just asked about the Student Union’s current situation. He even said that he wanted to call you, but he was worried that you had something to attend to, so he asked me to help him pass on the message that he wanted you to take the two wine bottles that he left with you to sunbathe outside.”
When Chu Luo heard this, she couldn’t help but think too much.
How could wine bottles be brought out to dry in the sun?
Also… he actually asked Yu Tong to tell her.
At the thought of this, she said to Tong, “I have something to attend to. I’ll hang up first.” With that, she hung up and strode towards the room where the wine bottles were kept.
She had placed the wine bottles in a room downstairs.
Chu Luo took the wine bottle and walked to the living room. She asked the butler to bring her a magnifying glass. She looked at the words on the crack with the magnifying glass.
The words on it were: Evil Subjugation, Boundless Divine Power, Poison Control Puppet.
When she saw these words, Chu Luo picked up her phone and called Li Yan. After Li Yan took it, she told him what she had seen and continued, “It’s impossible for these words to be carved on the XX Dynasty’s wine bottles. There’s only one possibility-Senior was trying to warn us about something.”
Li Yan was silent, obviously thinking about the meaning of these words.
Chu Luo continued, “From this, I can confirm that he’s one of Ink Feather’s men.”
Li Yan nodded and said, “Luoluo, see what else is on those two wine bottles.”
Chu Luo turned on the speaker and put it aside. She continued to look through the magnifying glass.
After a while, she said, “Nothing else.”
Li Yan said, “Get someone to send those two wine bottles to the company. I’ll get someone to use a special instrument to check.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, Chu Luo asked the butler to send the two wine bottles to Blazing Glory’s headquarters.
While waiting for the results, Chu Luo continued to make talismans and pills.
At three in the afternoon, she finished making everything and got the butler to send it out. Not long after, Li Yan called her and asked her to go to the Sun residence.
After Chu Luo hung up the phone, she drove to the Sun residence.
At this moment, the men from the Sun family were all sitting in the living room. Li Yan was also sitting there, and the atmosphere was a little serious.
When Old Master Sun saw Chu Luo enter, his originally serious expression finally softened.
“My good granddaughter, come and sit.”
Chu Luo walked over and sat beside him.
Third Master Sun was the first to speak anxiously. “Li Yan, Little Chu is here. Hurry up and tell me what important findings you have.”
Li Yan nodded.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, he said, “The previous president of the Student Union at Imperial University, Nangong Yi, should be from Ink Feather.”
“What?”
The Sun family was shocked.
Sun Tianhao widened his eyes in disbelief. “He’s actually one of Ink Feather’s men?! I couldn’t tell at all. Although I’ve only interacted with him a few times, he’s especially gentle and has a good character. All the students at Imperial University seem to like him a lot… How can he be one of Ink Feather’s men?”
Third Master Sun snorted. “This is called ‘Do not judge a book by its cover’.”
At this point, Third Master Sun asked Li Yan, “What do you think he’s doing?”
“He placed two wine bottles at Luoluo’s place. After examining the wine bottles with special instruments, we discovered a map on them.”
“What map?”
“Ink Feather must have ulterior motives by giving us this map.”
