This grunt was from Xie Minghai. Chu Luo’s face darkened and a cold aura emanated from her body.
The other party was still saying, “How is it? Are you still going to call and tell Master Li?”
Chu Luo glanced at Li Yan, who was quickly scrolling through his phone, and said in a displeased voice, “No.”
This person was beside her already anyway.
Li Yan glanced at Chu Luo and showed her his phone screen.
Li Yan had already hacked into the camera of the other party’s phone.
There were many damaged ancient objects where they were, and Tang Zhiyun and the others were standing there.
Li Yan tapped their faces, implying that their expressions were very strange.
Chu Luo nodded at him and said to the person, “Don’t hurt my friends. I’ll come with him immediately.”
“Very good. Remember, only the two of you can come over. Otherwise, don’t blame us for killing them.”
“Got it.”
Chu Luo hung up and said to Li Yan, “They’re under some drug’s influence.”
Li Yan nodded and pointed at their location. “This is the cultural relics repair room.”
Chu Luo put away her phone and walked towards the door. As she walked, she said, “I don’t want to wait for your men to come down. These people are asking for a beating. How dare they hit my friends?”
Li Yan looked at her petite face which was puffed up with anger and knew that the little thing was being protective. He didn’t stop her and followed her inside.
Chu Luo took out a talisman as she walked, and the two of them disappeared by the door.
Not long after walking into the Archaeology Department, the duo’s figures suddenly appeared.
Li Yan looked at her in surprise.
Chu Luo said, “There are ancient items inside that clash with my Invisibility Talisman.”
Li Yan nodded and wrapped his arm around her waist. A few men in black suits walked towards the door from one direction.
The two of them waited for them to leave before walking out of the shadows.
As Chu Luo walked, she looked at the Archaeology Department under the dim streetlights. She said in surprise, “I didn’t expect the Archaeology Department to have so many ancient treasures.”
After saying that, she waited for a while and said regretfully, “Unfortunately, it’s basically all damaged.”
Li Yan looked at her and asked, “Can you feel what it is that’s clashing with your talisman?”
“No.” Chu Luo shook her head.
Li Yan didn’t ask further and held her hand as they walked in.
Along the way, the two of them encountered a few batches of men in black suits walking out.
After avoiding the black suits in another area, Chu Luo muttered, “These people must have planned this long ago. They’re really willing to spend a lot of money to capture you.”
After saying that, she remembered something and asked him, “When is Master Li coming back?”
Li Yan looked at her sparkling eyes and touched her hair. “The 5th.”
“Eh?” Chu Luo tilted her head and looked at him. “Why the 5th?”
“I want to accompany you back to Ocean City on the 4th.”
When Chu Luo heard this, she pursed her lips slightly but couldn’t hide the smile on her face.
Li Yan’s Adam’s apple bobbed. In the end, he couldn’t help but lower his head to peck her on the lips.
Chu Luo pushed him in dissatisfaction.
Li Yan smiled and continued walking with her.
The two of them walked to the courtyard outside the antique repair room and looked at the lights inside and at the people guarding the courtyard. The two of them exchanged a glance and turned around to hide behind a luxuriant osmanthus tree.
This was the season when the osmanthus flowers bloomed. As the rich fragrance of the flowers wafted into her nose, Chu Luo felt it become a little itchy.
She wanted to sneeze.
Li Yan immediately realized her strange reaction and placed his hand against the back of her head to press her head into his arms.
Li Yan’s scent filled her nose and Chu Luo finally felt better.
At this moment, she heard Li Yan’s low voice. “Luoluo, another group of people is coming. Let’s deal with the people here first.”
Chu Luo nodded in his arms. She reached into her Heaven-and-Earth pouch and took out a medicine bottle. In his arms, she said in a low voice, “Use this. It won’t take much effort.”
Li Yan took the bottle from her hand and wrapped his arm around her waist. The two of them walked out from behind the tree to vent their anger.
“Who…”
Someone was about to speak but was immediately knocked out by the poison in Li Yan’s hand.
The others didn’t have time to react. The moment Li Yan scattered the medicinal powder in his hand, the others were all drugged at the same time.
After doing all of this, Li Yan let go of Chu Luo.
The door in front was opened at the same time because of the commotion outside.
“What’s going on?”
The person standing inside the door narrowed his eyes when he saw the two people standing in the courtyard and the people who had fallen to the ground. He wanted to close the door.
Chu Luo came out of Li Yan’s arms and quickly grabbed a handful of leaves from the osmanthus tree, then threw them at him.
That person was pierced by the leaves until he became a hedgehog. He fell back and twitched a few times on the ground before falling unconscious.
The door opened.
The bunch of people standing inside the door started to move. Some of them took out their guns and pointed them at the two of them while others aimed at Tang Zhiyun and the others.
Someone said in a low voice, “If you dare to take a step forward, we’ll kill these people.”
Chu Luo looked at the guns and frowned.
Li Yan grabbed her wrist and pulled her behind him. “Wait first.”
Chu Luo knew what he was talking about and didn’t say anything else.
The person outside the door shouted at the two of them again, “Take out all your weapons. You…”
That person pointed at Li Yan. “You. Come in alone.”
“What do you people want?” Chu Luo asked in dissatisfaction.
That person didn’t even look at her. At this moment, that person moved the Bluetooth earpiece in his ear and shouted at Li Yan, “Hurry up or I’ll blow this person’s brains out first.”
With that, he pointed the gun at Wang Mingtao’s temple.
Li Yan pulled Chu Luo back and wrote a number on her palm: 1.
Then, he let go of her wrist and took out the gun on him.
“Throw the gun in.”
Li Yan walked towards the door. When he reached it, that person shouted, “Throw it there.”
Li Yan bent down slightly and made a gesture of throwing the gun out. However, at this moment, the gun in his hand turned around.
Bang! Bang! Bang! After three shots, that person and those men who had pointed a gun at Tang Zhiyun died.
The others were furious and quickly fired at him.
Li Yan dodged to the side.
Chu Luo attacked at the same time.
Just as they were about to enter and deal with the remaining two people, a few people quickly jumped down from the roof of the courtyard. These people looked like they had extraordinary skills.
Li Yan fought with these people.
Chu Luo ran in to deal with the other two people and was about to walk up to Tang Zhiyun and the others when an anxious-sounding whistle came from outside the door.
After the whistle, Tang Zhiyun and the others moved and surrounded Chu Luo.
Chu Luo looked at the people surrounding her and muttered, “I miscalculated.”
After saying that, she raised her wrist and shook the bracelet.
The sound of the bracelet wasn’t loud, but when she shook it, the whistle was covered by this small sound.
When Tang Zhiyun and the others stopped moving, Chu Luo turned around and looked outside the gate.
At this moment, Li Yan’s men arrived. The fight in the courtyard was intense.
Chu Luo wasn’t worried at all. She turned her gaze to the wall opposite.
A man in a long robe stood there with his hands behind his back.
In the blink of an eye, that person arrived in front of Chu Luo.
“Looks like you’re a kindred spirit too.”
That person sized Chu Luo up. “It’s a pity that you fell into my hands today. You’re so beautiful. It’s not a bad idea to learn these things. After they deal with the people outside, how about becoming my woman? I’ll make you stronger.”
“That depends on whether you have the ability.”
After saying that, Chu Luo raised her wrist and the bracelet made a crisp sound.
That person smiled disdainfully. “You still want to use…”
He had just said those few words when his smile froze. His expression changed from disbelief to horror.
“What did you do to me?”
“Aren’t you very formidable?” Chu Luo curled her lips. A red light flashed from her fingertip and that person trembled.
In the next moment, he wanted to take something from his body.
However, he realized that his hands weren’t listening to him.
“What you said just now made me unhappy. Slap yourself.”
Pa! Pa! Pa!
The man slapped himself more than ten times, and that half of his face became swollen like a pig’s head. Chu Luo snapped her fingers and said in disappointment, “I thought you were powerful, but it turns out that you’re only so-so.”
After Chu Luo finished speaking, she slammed her palm forward. The man’s body quickly flew towards the group of people fighting outside the door.
At this moment, Li Yan happened to kick one person flying and slap another person. That person dodged and his slap landed on the expert’s chest.
“Pfft…”
That person was slapped twice consecutively. Even an expert wouldn’t be able to withstand it. He fainted.
Li Yan looked at the person who had fainted by his feet and a murderous glint flashed across his eyes. He turned the gun in his hand and fired several shots at him without blinking.
These shots stunned the other party.
At this moment, Li Yan was like a demon that had just crawled out of the ground. His entire body was filled with ruthlessness and coldness.
Just as the other party was about to be wiped out, a siren rang from the courtyard.
It was obvious that someone had deliberately triggered the school’s alarm.
The group of people took the opportunity to escape.
Li Yan looked at the group and ordered in a low voice, “Give chase.”
After saying that, he turned around and walked into the door.
Chu Luo was standing in front of Tang Zhiyun and the others.
“Can you undo the effects of the drug on them?” Li Yan walked to her side and said, “Someone secretly triggered the alarm. Restore this place to its original state before taking them away.”
Chu Luo nodded. With a flick of her finger, everything that had been broken returned to normal.
At the same time, the sound of the school’s security guards quickly approaching came from outside.
