Chapter 68: Chu Luo: Why Are You Following Me?
Chu Luo realized that the people who’d teamed up with her had very high operational standards. This made her a little excited.
So when the car stopped outside the Cui family villa after more than an hour, she was still focused on the game.
When the mission ended, she suddenly looked up and realized that there was a villa beside her.
She subconsciously tilted her head to look at the man sitting at the side, who had no intention of telling her about it at all. She said unhappily, “Why didn’t you inform me when we got there?”
Li Yan glanced at her, his cold eyes impolitely saying: “Why should I inform you?”
“…”
Chu Luo took a deep breath, retracted her gaze, and said to the other players in the game, “I have something to attend to. I’m logging off.”
She quit the game.
Then, she put away her phone and pushed open the car door to get out.
There was the sound of someone getting off the car behind her.
Chu Luo tilted her head and glanced at him and the group of bodyguards behind him. She asked in an annoyed tone, “Why are you following me?”
Li Yan: “I’m bored. I’m just here to watch the show.”
“…”
Chu Luo walked towards the courtyard wall of the Cui residence.
The Cui family was one of the wealthiest families in the capital, so they naturally had a sizable villa in the wealthy district.
It was already past midnight. Other than the streetlights, the villa was dark and quiet.
The two of them led a group of bodyguards and easily climbed over the wall into the villa. Chu Luo let Phoenix sense where those people were locked up and directly went there.
However, Li Yan stopped her.
“What?”
“If you walk in like this, you’ll trigger the alarm inside.”
After Li Yan finished speaking, he took out his phone and quickly tapped on it a few times. He then put his phone away and gestured to the bodyguards behind him.
The group of bodyguards quickly dispersed.
Only then did Li Yan say, “You may proceed.”
Chu Luo blinked and looked at him curiously. “What did you do just now?”
“Destroyed the alarms and surveillance cameras.”
Chu Luo: “!!!”
It sounded very powerful!
I want to learn!
Li Yan glanced at her sparkling eyes and lightly reminded her, “There are more than five hours until daybreak. Are you sure you want to continue standing here?”
Chu Luo suddenly thought of her purpose in coming here. She quickly suppressed her restlessness and said with a serious expression, “I came here to do something very important.”
Then, she pointed in a certain direction. “Let’s go this way.”
After saying that, she led the way.
Li Yan followed.
The two of them walked one after the other as if they were walking in their own courtyard, and they quickly arrived at the side of the stone mountain in the backyard of the Cui residence.
The Cui family’s backyard was very different from others’ backyards. Other people’s backyard was basically a garden, but the Cui family’s backyard was like a stone forest with piles of rocks.
The two of them stood outside the stone forest. Chu Luo couldn’t help but mutter, “The backyard is filled with stones. It could easily hide a few people.”
After saying that, she wasn’t in a hurry to enter. Instead, she observed carefully for a while. “Indeed, there’s a formation set up.”
After she spent a few minutes breaking the array, the two of them walked in and stopped beside the biggest stone mountain in the middle. Chu Luo pointed at it. “Cui Xudong tricked a few children to come over and locked them inside…”
At this point, she suddenly paused and tilted her head to look at him.
Li Yan looked back at her coldly.
Chu Luo thought for a while. In any case, this person knew quite a lot, so she continued, “Cui Xudong should have died a long time ago. He used these people’s lives to sign a contract with the thing down there to change his fate, exchanging these people for his life.”
When Li Yan heard this, he frowned slightly.
Chu Luo let Phoenix find the entrance to the stone mountain. She walked over and felt around for a while before finding a switch in a stone crack.
The stone door opened and an intense black aura flew towards their faces.
Chu Luo raised her hand to quickly seal the black aura in the cave and said to Li Yan, “I’ll go in to take a look. Don’t come in.”
With that said, she walked in.
Li Yan’s gaze was locked on the black aura that had surged out from inside.
After Chu Luo entered, she quickly found the pale-faced and weak people.
They were placed in a few large coffins, and their bodies were wrapped in a thick black aura.
Chu Luo frowned and looked outside a coffin for a while. She said in a displeased tone, “To think you’re using such a sinister method of borrowing lives.”
After saying that, she quickly chanted an incantation. After the incantation, the surrounding black aura slowly faded until it disappeared.
The people bound to the coffins by the black aura opened their eyes at the same time and stared at Chu Luo in a daze.
Chu Luo looked back at them and announced, “You are safe.”
With that, she raised her hand and a pill exploded. Their expressions agitated, they fell asleep.
After she was done, Chu Luo walked out of the stone cave and saw that Li Yan was still standing there in the same posture as when she entered. She suddenly smiled at him and said, “These people are no longer in danger.”
Li Yan nodded with a cold expression. “In that case, let the police deal with these people.”
After saying that, he turned and walked out.
“Eh?”
Chu Luo didn’t expect him to leave just like that. She subconsciously called out.
Li Yan stopped and turned to look at her. “Let the police handle it. These people can be saved, and the Cui family’s matter can be exposed. If you take them away secretly, the Cui family will destroy the evidence tomorrow morning.”
Chu Luo tilted her head and thought about it. She felt that he made sense and nodded.
The two of them quickly climbed over the wall. Chu Luo saw Li Yan take out his phone and make a call. He gave that person the Cui residence’s location and hung up.
Then, he said to the chauffeur, “Drive.”
The car drove off.
Chu Luo looked at the cold Li Yan and then at the Cui family villa. She asked awkwardly, “You didn’t even tell them anything in detail. How would they know what happened?”
Li Yan looked ahead with a look that said it had nothing to do with him. “Whether they can find out or not is their business.”
“…”
Chu Luo suddenly recalled what others had said about Li Yan before. They said that he was cold-blooded and ruthless. From the looks of it, this person was just too cold.
The car stopped by the back door of the Wei family villa in silence.
After Chu Luo alighted, Li Yan suddenly said, “I’ll send someone to pick you up tomorrow.”
With that, he got the chauffeur to drive the car away.
Chu Luo stood there and watched the car drive away before turning around and climbing over the wall to return to her room.
The next morning, Chu Luo had just woken up when there was a knock on the door.
She walked over and opened the door. Surprisingly, it was Wei Wei standing outside.
Wei Wei didn’t give Chu Luo a pleasant countenance. She took out a bank card and said to her, “There’s 500,000 yuan inside. Move away immediately.”
Chu Luo stared at Wei Wei and asked calmly, “Why?”
“Why!” Wei Wei raised her voice and her expression became stern. “You’re not my daughter at all. This is my maiden home, this is Tingting’s uncle’s family. On what basis are you taking love away from Tingting?”
When Chu Luo heard this, the corners of her lips curled up into a mocking sneer. She had underestimated this person’s ruthlessness towards her. She asked, “Does Uncle know about this?”
