Seeing how enthusiastic Gu Jie was, Sun Tianhao knew that he didn’t have good intentions.
As everyone walked backstage, Sun Tianhao deliberately blocked Chu Luo and made the two of them walk behind everyone. He lowered his voice and asked, “Chu Luo, you must know that Gu Jie doesn’t have good intentions. Why did you agree with him?”
Chu Luo raised her eyebrows and asked, “I don’t like Gu Lexuan. Previously, I couldn’t be bothered to deal with her before. Now, she’s giving me a chance to deal with her. So why not?”
Sun Tianhao was stunned at first before he grinned.
The two of them followed everyone in. As he walked, he said in the manner of a good older brother, “You should leave this kind of thing to me, your older brother. You just need to stand at the side and watch.”
Just as Sun Tianhao finished speaking, the people walking in front asked them, “Chu Luo, Haozi, what do you want to eat? Gu Jie needs to know in order to order.”
Sun Tianhao strode over. “I’ll see what supper shop you’re ordering supper from. I won’t eat it if it’s too lousy.”
“How would I dare? Since we’re the ones treating Chu Luo and the others to supper, how could I possibly find a supper shop that’s too lousy?”
The two of them chatted and laughed on the surface as they started ordering.
“Chu Luo, what do you want to eat? The supper recommended is the seafood platter, various barbecue skewers, and a few types of soup.”
Chu Luo: “Seafood platter.”
Yu Tong also ordered a little.
Nangong Yi and Yu Xiangtian didn’t mind and let them order whatever they wanted.
After ordering supper, someone suggested, “How can we not drink some beer after supper? Order some beer as well.”
“Are Imperial University students allowed to drink in the school? We shouldn’t make things difficult for Nangong Yi and Chu Luo.”
Nangong Yi said, “You can order a little, but not too much.”
“Haha, since the president of Imperial University’s Student Union has spoken, let’s order. We’ll each get a bottle.”
After placing the order, everyone chatted casually as they waited for the supper to be sent over.
After about half an hour, before the supper was served, Chu Luo’s phone rang.
“Chu Luo, did your boyfriend call you?” someone asked deliberately with a smile.
Chu Luo took out her phone and saw that it was from Anya.
She didn’t explain and only said, “I’ll go out and answer a call.”
After saying that, she walked towards the back door.
After exiting the back door, Chu Luo stood under the streetlamp and swiped her phone. Immediately, Anya’s anxious sobbing could be heard. “Chu, Blockhead has been caught.”
Chu Luo frowned and quickly asked, “What happened? Who captured him?”
Anya: “It’s Sawyer’s house.”
Chu Luo asked, “You mean the Adair family who chased you?”
Anya said, “That’s right. When I rushed over after hearing the news, the Duke’s family said that Blockhead had beaten Adair until he was unconscious. If anything happens to Adair, they will make Blockhead pay with his life.”
Chu Luo was silent for a while before saying, “Have you seen Qin Ming?”
Anya: “No. The duke’s family took her away. The duke’s family didn’t even allow me to see Blockhead. Just now, after I went to beg my father and mother, they said that they wouldn’t interfere in this matter. Moreover, my father retracted my guards.”
At this point, Anya burst into tears as if she had been wronged. Her tone was helpless and worried. “Blockhead doesn’t have much status here. If the duke’s family detains him, they will definitely torture him in private. Chu, can you get Li to send someone to save him?”
Chu Luo said, “Don’t be anxious. I’ll call Yan and tell him about this.”
She then hung up and called Li Yan.
Li Yan was still working overtime today. When Chu Luo called him, she could hear rapid typing on the keyboard.
Chu Luo told him about Qin Ming.
Unexpectedly, Li Yan had known about this long ago. He said calmly, “As long as Qin Ming doesn’t want to be caught, no one can catch him.”
Chu Luo immediately understood what he meant and was a little puzzled. “You mean Qin Ming deliberately let Duke Sawyer’s family catch him? Why?”
Li Yan: “I’m not sure.”
Qin Ming was on leave. As long as his life wasn’t in danger, Li Yan usually wouldn’t ask about his private matters.
Chu Luo also knew this and said, “Then I’ll tell Anya.”
She didn’t hang up immediately and asked, “When are you getting off work?”
Li Yan chuckled. “Did you miss me?”
Chu Luo snorted at him tsunderely and said, “I’m still at school eating supper with them. If you come back early, come to school and pick me up. I’m in the first hall.”
“Yes, Honey,” Li Yan replied. “I’ll be done here in at most half an hour. I’ll come over to pick you up then.”
Chu Luo nodded lightly and the corners of her lips curled up unconsciously.
After hanging up, Chu Luo called Anya again and told her what Li Yan had said.
Anya was still worried.
Chu Luo said, “Something must have happened between Qin Ming and Adair. Since he was captured willingly, there must be something else. Why don’t you wait for a while?”
Anya: “I’m still worried about him.”
Chu Luo thought for a while and gave her an idea. “Didn’t I ask you to help me promote skincare products suitable for pregnant women? Is anyone in the duke’s family pregnant?”
Anya thought for a moment. “Yes. Adair’s older sister happens to be pregnant.”
Chu Luo asked, “How’s your relationship with her?”
Anya: “Not bad.”
Chu Luo said, “Then go to Adair’s sister’s place and find out why Qin Ming beat Adair into a hospital. Also, do you know Adair’s current situation?”
Anya: “I don’t know. I was just worried about Blockhead and forgot to ask.”
Chu Luo was silent for a while before saying, “Then ask around. Find out the reason why Qin Ming beat up Adair first. That way, things will be easier.”
Anya thought for a while and felt that she could only listen to Chu Luo’s suggestion now. She nodded and said, “Then I’ll see Emile immediately.”
With that, she hung up.
Chu Luo was about to put away her phone when she heard footsteps coming from behind.
“Chu Luo.”
Chu Luo turned around and looked at Gu Jie.
Gu Jie glanced at the phone in her hand and said sincerely, “I brought my sister to apologize to you for what happened this afternoon. I hope you don’t mind. My sister is spoiled by us. That’s why she spoke without thinking.”
The corners of Chu Luo’s lips curled up. She asked, “Will Gu Lexuan realize what she did wrong if you apologize for her? Will she not cause trouble in front of me again?”
Gu Jie hadn’t expected Chu Luo to say that. He was stunned at first, then he said, “My sister is used to being spoiled by us. Actually, she doesn’t have any ill intentions. It’s just that she’s used to being competitive. She’s a little unbalanced by the fact that you’re better than her. As for what you said at noon, it’s actually not true at all.”
Chu Luo could tell that Gu Jie was deliberately testing her to see how much she knew about Gu Lexuan’s secret.
Chu Luo looked at him and didn’t say anything.
Indeed, Gu Jie continued, “I don’t know where you heard these rumors from. My aunt did know the Earl of America when she was young, but there was nothing between them. Xuanxuan is my uncle’s daughter…”
“What are you trying to say by telling me so much?” Hearing this, Chu Luo interrupted him. “As long as Gu Lexuan doesn’t provoke me, I won’t be interested in her at all, but…”
At this point, Chu Luo deliberately paused for a moment. A trace of coldness flashed across her eyes. “If you think the evidence in my hand is fake, I can show you the evidence.”
“You…”
When Gu Jie heard this, the kindness on his face disappeared. He said in a low voice, “Evidence. Who doesn’t know that you, Chu Luo, are a computer expert? You can fabricate something that looks real.”
“Fabricate something? If nothing happened, would I be able to fabricate it? Also…”
Chu Luo narrowed her eyes slightly, displeasure flashing across them. “According to what I know, the Gu family’s backer, the Shang family, is in a difficult position themselves now, not to mention that the mountain that the Shang family is leaning on has already collapsed. Yet you and your sister keep coming to mess with me for no reason. Do you really think you’re so noble?”
Gu Jie subconsciously retorted, “How could that be? That’s not what we think.”
“Ha!” Chu Luo sneered and turned to walk towards the back door. As she walked, she said meaningfully, “One must know their own limits. Those who don’t even know their own limits can only wait to be dealt with.”
Gu Jie stood there and looked at Chu Luo’s back, his expression becoming dark.
Recalling what his sister had said, he subconsciously clenched his fists and thought, ‘See if I don’t deal with you personally. I won’t be afraid even if you have the Sun family backing you up.’
At the thought of this, the corners of his lips suddenly curled up into a scheming smile. Then, he followed her in.
When Sun Tianhao saw Chu Luo enter, he walked over and asked her in a low voice, “Did Gu Jie look for you in private just now?”
Chu Luo responded with an “Mm”.
Sun Tianhao snorted. “He really doesn’t know his limits. Don’t blame me for being merciless later.”
Just as Sun Tianhao finished speaking, he saw Gu Jie walk in. Seeing the two of them, he walked over and said with a smile, “The person who’s delivering the takeout from the supper shop called me. He said that he’ll be here soon. Let’s go out and get food.”
Sun Tianhao nodded calmly. He tilted his head and shouted at the others, “The takeout is here. All the boys, go out and get the takeout.”
Everyone walked out of the hall happily.
