The moment they walked into the restaurant, the manager was already waiting by the door.
“Master Li, Miss Chu, welcome. The restaurant has been specially cleared for you. Please come in.”
The two of them walked in. Indeed, there were no more guests inside.
The food was served quickly. After the meal, Chu Luo asked the chauffeur to drive the car to a remote alley a street away from Ocean City’s elite high school.
5: 40 p.m.
Chen Zitong walked over from the corner.
When he saw the car stopping there, he seemed to have guessed something and turned to run.
However, a bodyguard grabbed his arm and pulled him over by the back of his collar.
“Be obedient!”
“Who are you? Let go of me, or I’ll scream. Help…”
After Chen Zitong felt the sharp weapon on his waist, he suddenly retracted his scream.
Chu Luo opened the car door and walked up to him with Li Yan.
When Chen Zitong saw Chu Luo, his eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
“Chu Luo, it’s you.”
“Yes, it’s me. Just answer a few questions from me and I’ll let you go immediately.”
“I don’t know anything…”
Chu Luo snapped her fingers at him. Chen Zitong immediately became obedient. “Ask away.”
“Who asked you to break Teacher Gao’s jade pendant?”
“It’s a man who looks especially ordinary.”
“What’s your relationship with that person?”
“We have nothing to do with each other. He said that as long as I break Teacher Gao’s jade rope, he will give me 100,000 yuan.”
When Chu Luo heard this, she was so angry that she wished she could slap the boy in front of her to death.
“Hmph! You can do anything for some money. Would you have hurt Teacher Gao if you were asked to do so?”
A large hand caressed her back and Li Yan’s cold voice sounded. “Don’t be angry. You can’t get anything out of a person like him. The person who asked him to do this must also be paid off by someone. I’ll get someone to investigate. For now, we’ll just teach him a lesson to vent your anger.”
After saying that, he raised his hand and a bodyguard standing at the side started punching Chen Zitong.
“Ouch~~”
When the tragic scream filled the street, Chu Luo raised her hand and blocked his scream.
Li Yan wrapped his arm around her waist and walked towards the car. As he walked, he said, “Let’s go back first. The most important thing now is to find a way to remove the Gu worm in your teacher’s brain.”
“Mm.”
Chu Luo said angrily, “The person this time must have an especially powerful Dharma treasure that can block my perception of him.”
“It’s okay. I’ll send more people to look for him.”
“Mm.”
Half an hour after the group left, Chen Zitong, who was lying on the ground, suddenly spasmed.
After another minute, he took a few deep breaths and screamed a few times. He then propped himself up and looked around in confusion and pain.
What he saw made his eyes widen.
“Why… why am I here?”
“Tsk, who hit me?”
“Ah…”
“Help…”
When the dean of Ocean City’s elite high school received a call from the public and rushed over, he saw a sobbing Chen Zitong, who had been beaten up until his face was bruised and swollen.
He seemed to have thought of something. His expression changed instantly and he immediately put it away. In order to confirm his guess, he squatted beside Chen Zitong and asked, “Student Chen Zitong, do you know who hit you?”
“Boohoo… I don’t know.”
“Aren’t you a student staying in school? Why do you have to leave?”
“Someone asked me to come out and get something, so I came out.”
“Who asked you to come out?”
“It’s…” Chen Zitong tried his best to recall but realized that he couldn’t remember anything. His expression changed and he started wailing again.
The dean heaved a sigh of relief for no reason. He stood up and said sternly, “Student Chen Zitong, we will immediately call the police to deal with this matter. Try to recall what happened.”
With that, he called the police.
As long as it wasn’t Chu Luo and the others, he felt that there was no need for the school to investigate on their own in this situation.
…
When Chu Luo and the others returned to the Li residence, it was already half-past seven.
The butler, who was waiting on the tarmac, came up to them and said, “Master, Miss Chu, Mr. Gao and Mrs. Gao are staying in Pear Garden. Two servants who know medicine have been arranged to take care of them.”
Chu Luo asked, “Are there inspection instruments here?”
The butler: “There is all the basic equipment. It’s in the courtyard next to Mr. Gao’s house.”
The butler had arranged everything well. Chu Luo nodded in satisfaction.
The three of them went to Pear Garden.
There were a few pear trees planted in Pear Garden, and that was how the name came about.
At this moment, Teacher Gao and Mrs. Gao were talking in the courtyard. Neither of them felt very at ease.
“Old Gao, is this really Little Chu’s house? Why do I feel like it’s the residence of a king admiral’s family? Once we go out this door, we’ll definitely get lost.”
“Didn’t Mr. Beitang say that this is the Li residence? Chu Xiao Luo’s husband is the richest man in the world. It’s normal to have a residence like this. Old woman, you just love worrying.”
“Can you blame me? If I don’t worry about this, do you want me to keep talking about your illness?”
“I’m not sick! How many times have I told you? I’m really not sick.”
“Just be stubborn… Do you think we should call Little Qian back?”
“Why call him? He’s doing fine in Germany. Why ask him to come back?”
“You… you’re going to anger me to death! If you don’t ask him to come back, what if something really does…”
“Pfft, pfft, pfft! I’m well and alive!”
Chu Luo happened to hear this when she walked to the door.
Chu Luo replied, “Yes, Teacher Gao is well and alive.”
When the two of them saw Chu Luo coming, they immediately went up to her.
“Chu Luo, you’re here.”
After Teacher Gao finished speaking, he looked at Li Yan and narrowed his eyes. “You’re Chu Luo’s boyfriend from before.”
Chu Luo giggled and said, “Teacher Gao, you’re right. It’s him.”
“Haha! Not bad, not bad.”
Old Gao wondered if he should shake Li Yan’s hand, but Li Yan’s aura was too cold. He felt that if Li Yan didn’t extend his hand, he would definitely be embarrassed.
Li Yan reached out to him first. “Thank you for taking care of Luoluo in the past.”
After the two of them shook hands, Old Gao said happily, “Chu Xiao Luo is my student. It’s only right that I take care of her.”
“Teacher Gao, Mrs. Gao, let’s go in and talk. It’s windy here.”
The four of them walked into the living room.
Chu Luo said, “Teacher Gao, Mrs. Gao, you guys stay here for now. The medical instruments here are comprehensive and there are also doctors here. I’ll discuss with the others how to get the thing in your brain out.”
When Chu Luo said this, Old Gao’s expression froze and Mrs. Gao’s expression changed drastically.
Old Gao asked calmly, “Chu Xiao Luo, tell me honestly. What exactly is in my brain? Is there really a tumor?”
“No.”
“Then… then what is it?” Mrs. Gao’s voice was trembling.
“It’s not a very serious thing. We just have to find a way to get it out.”
“Does this affect my daily life?”
“As long as you don’t think about going back to class, it won’t affect you at all.”
“…”
Old Gao glared at her. “You little girl, aren’t you trying to make me bored?”
“Of course not.”
Chu Luo blinked at Old Gao and said mischievously, “As a teacher, you should read up when you’re not in class. That’s why on the way back, I thought that you would definitely be bored, so I enrolled you in a few advanced courses from famous universities in the world. Teacher Gao, don’t worry. You won’t be worried about having too much time next. Instead, you’ll be worried about not having enough time.”
“Pfft… Cough, cough…”
Old Gao actually choked on his own saliva.
He pointed at Chu Luo’s nose and said, “You, you, you…” for a long time, but didn’t know what to say.
Mrs. Gao, who was sitting at the side, laughed and even clapped her hands in schadenfreude. “That’s right. That’s how it should be. Otherwise, Old Gao would be nagging at me about wanting to go back to class every day. I would be annoyed to death.”
“Hehe.”
Chu Luo and Li Yan stayed in Pear Garden until almost ten o’clock before returning to their residence.
While lying in bed, Chu Luo called Jin Hui.
Jin Hui was famous. With a little investigation, they found out.
Chu Luo asked him to help calm Old Gao and his wife down tomorrow.
After hanging up the phone, she saw Li Yan sitting in a chair and typing on his computer.
Chu Luo lifted the blanket and wanted to go to where he was.
Li Yan looked up at her. “Don’t come down. I have something to do before I sleep.”
Chu Luo nodded and covered herself with the blanket again.
At this moment, her phone suddenly rang.
It was from Tang Zhiyun.
Tang Zhiyun sounded uncontrollably frightened. It seemed that something terrible had happened.
“Junior, something seems to have happened to our company.”
