‘Tang Zhiyun and the other three walked out after they finished eating. Each of them was holding an invitation and flipping through it.
After Xie Minghai read it, he sucked up to them. “Brother Li is indeed Brother Li. Even the invitations designed by someone are so low-key and luxurious.”
‘The four of them walked behind Chu Luo and Wang Mingtao. Tang Zhiyun asked, “Junior, what can we help you and Brother Li with these few days?”
Yu Lei nodded. “That’s right. We don’t have any leads for a while anyway. We might as well help.”
Xie Minghai and Xu Qingfeng thought so too.
Chu Luo thought for a while and said, “Why don’t you guys go over early on the 30th? When the time comes, you can familiarize yourself with the area where we hold the wedding. Also, let the butler teach you how you receive the guests.”
After all, the four of them had just come from school and definitely didn’t know anything about this, especially since there would be many bigshots attending Chu Luo’s wedding.
“When the time comes, Yan’s secretary and many of the upper echelons of the company will also be groomsmen. You’d better greet them in advance.”
Half of the Li residence was being used as the wedding venue. There had been major changes during this period of time. Chu Luo had only seen it in the video recorded by the butler and hadn’t personally gone back to take a look.
The four of them definitely had no objections.
Everyone talked about this matter for a while more before Chu Luo and Wang Mingtao left to return to Imperial University for class.
‘When she returned to Imperial University and entered the school gate, Chu Luo suddenly thought of something and asked Wang Mingtao, “Taozi, Uncle Wang and Auntie Wang must be staying at the Li residence for the next two days. Are you staying at home alone?”
“That’s right.” Wang Mingtao looked smug.
“Sister Chu, you have no idea how satisfying it is to have no one to control you. I went back yesterday and ate the fried chicken and coke that I’ve always wanted to eat but didn’t manage to. Heavens… that’s simply delicious.”
Chu Luo looked at him with bright eyes for a few seconds as he reminisced fondly. She left without saying anything.
However, after school in the afternoon, Wang Mingtao had just walked out of the school building when he saw Roundy, who was obviously waiting for him.
‘When Wang Mingtao saw Roundy, his eyes widened. He subconsciously turned around and ran.
‘When Roundy saw him running, he immediately shouted, “Peach, don’t run!”
With that, he chased after him.
“Ahhh… Roundy, why are you here? You must be in the wrong place.”
“There’s no mistake about it. Mistress wants me to accompany you at your house for the next few nights.”
“Tm already a grown man. I don’t need anyone to accompany me!”
“You need it.”
Then, on the way to the School of Computer Science, many witnessed the fascinating scene of a robot chasing after a human.
‘When everyone saw this person and robot, they quickly made way for them with tacit understanding.
In particular, some girls were screaming to cheer on Roundy.
Chu Luo didn’t know how much distance Roundy had chased Wang Mingtao for. After school, she went to the laboratory at the medical school and continued to study how to extract the poison in the phantom fish spirit’s body to neutralize the poison in the Ink Feather members.
‘When the administrator saw her coming, he smiled and asked, “Chu Luo, are you using Laboratory 404 again?”
Chu Luo nodded and handed him the school card.
‘The administrator said, “Then you’re a step too late. A professor is going to use that laboratory today.”
Chu Luo thought for a while and said, “Then I want an extraction room.”
“Sure, 405 is it.”
After saying that, he took her school card, swiped it, and handed it back to her.
Chu Luo put away her card and walked upstairs.
‘When she reached the door of Laboratory 404, she deliberately stopped to take a look. Indeed, a professor from the medical school was doing experiments with a few students.
Chu Luo retracted her gaze and went straight to 405.
Tonight, she ended at around nine. She realized that ordinary methods weren’t enough to prevent the poison in the phantom fish spirit’s body from spreading. She also needed a few special herbs to assist.
She planned to ask Elder Hu tomorrow morning.
‘When Chu Luo walked out of Laboratory 405 and walked to Laboratory 404, the professors and students inside walked out while chatting.
Chu Luo stood there and waited.
‘When the door opened, they were a little surprised to see Chu Luo standing there.
“Professor Luo,” Chu Luo greeted.
Professor Luo looked serious, but when he saw Chu Luo, his expression softened.
He sized up Chu Luo and asked, “Chu Luo, you’ve just finished your experiment too?”
“Yes.”
“What experiment are you doing?”
Chu Luo said some medical terms.
Professor Luo nodded and ignored the students behind him. The two of them chatted about knowledge in this area as they walked.
Chu Luo listened seriously and responded from time to time.
The students behind the two of them were actually a little confused.
Also, they were shocked.
Chu Luo actually knew more than them graduate students!
‘When Chu Luo and Professor Luo walked downstairs, the latter suddenly asked, “Chu Luo, did you do an experiment in Laboratory 404 the night before yesterday?”
“Yes.” Chu Luo asked, “Professor Luo, why are you asking this?”
“That’s strange.” Professor Luo and his students had strange expressions.
A student said first, “After you did the experiment in Laboratory 404 two nights ago, no one else did an experiment there. Today, after hearing that you did an experiment there, Professor Luo wanted to see the experimental report you left behind, but he didn’t find it.”
Chu Luo smiled seriously and said, “I left in a hurry that night and forgot to write the experimental report.”
She didn’t intend to leave any traces. After all, her experiment might be discovered by Ink Feather’s men.
When Professor Luo heard Chu Luo say this, he didn’t ask about this matter anymore. Instead, he asked about her wedding.
“Lwonder if I have the honor to attend your wedding?”
Chu Luo looked into Professor Luo’s sincere eyes and nodded. “Of course, you’re welcome.”
“Hahaha…”
Professor Luo laughed happily.
‘The graduate students behind them also wanted to speak, but Professor Luo seemed to have guessed their thoughts. He turned to them and said sternly, “You have a research project to do on New Year’s Day.”
The graduate students: “…”
After they walked out of the laboratory building, Chu Luo parted ways with them.
She took out her phone and realized that there were many messages. Most of them were from unknown numbers.
At this moment, Wu Yiyao called her.
‘Wu Yiyao asked on the phone, “Little Chu, am I disturbing you now?”
Chu Luo replied as she walked towards the parking spot, “No. I just came out of the laboratory building.”
“That’s good.” Wu Yiyao heaved a sigh of relief and said why she was calling her. “Many professors from the computer department asked me for your number today. I wanted to call and ask if you wanted to give it to them, but I was worried that you were doing experiments in that laboratory. I didn’t expect
them to investigate directly afterward.”
As the Student Union had Chu Luo’s number, they found out immediately.
‘Wu Yiyao continued, “They want to attend your wedding too.”
Chu Luo thought for a while and said to Wu Yiyao, “Professor Luo from the medical school mentioned this to me just now. I agreed.”
‘Wu Yiyao: “Since you promised a professor, you can’t very well refuse the other professors… Will this make you even busier?”
‘Wu Yiyao knew that many people would attend Chu Luo’s wedding that day. She wasn’t worried that the Li residence couldn’t accommodate everyone, but she was worried that the reception would be troublesome.
Chu Luo thought for a while and said, “I’ll ask the butler first.”
It was definitely the right decision to ask the butler for help regarding this matter.
Chu Luo then called the butler.
Unexpectedly, the butler agreed readily. “Miss Chu, it’s not a problem to invite all the professors from your school over. Master instructed me to consider them.”
Chu Luo hadn’t expected Li Yan to think of this. Her lips subconsciously curled up. She nodded and hung up.
After hanging up the phone, Chu Luo spoke to Wu Yiyao. After thinking for a while, she walked to a corner of a building and asked Phoenix to teleport her to Li Yan’s office.
Li Yan had another international meeting to host tonight and was still in the conference room.
Chu Luo took a tablet and walked to the sofa by the large French window. She sat down and initiated a video call with Anya.
‘When the other side picked up the call, the phone shook for a while before Anya’s displeased voice could be heard. “Move aside, don’t hinder me from chatting.”
Then, there were a few anxious voices.
“princess, your makeup isn’t done. You can’t move.”
“Princess, let me help you hold your phone.”
‘The video moved and Anya finally appeared in the video.
“Hi, Chu, I knew you would think of me today and video call me.”
Chu Luo looked at the narcissistic Anya. Seeing that she was already wearing a wedding dress and was glowing, she smiled and said, “You’re beautiful today.”
Anya beamed.
‘The two of them chatted casually as the makeup artist applied makeup on Anya.
Anya complained in dissatisfaction, “If only Chu were here. You can help me put on makeup here.”
“My appearance fee is very high. I’m worried that your heart will ache for the money.”
“How is that possible!”
Anya said proudly, “I married Blockhead. What’s his is mine, and so is his money. Blockhead is very rich.”
“Oh, how did you know he’s rich?”
“Hehe, from his betrothal gifts.”
Chu Luo actually didn’t know what to say. She deliberately asked, “As a princess, don’t you have money?”
“Yes, but my money is too little in front of you.”
This was the truth. Previously when Li Yan talked to them about tariffs, he had actually given the tax exemption to Chu Luo as an allowance.
Anya was extremely jealous at the thought of this.
Chu Luo didn’t intend to agitate her anymore. She asked, “How do you feel being pregnant?”
Anya rubbed her flat stomach smugly. “I feel especially good. Baby is obedient. I don’t have any uncomfortable symptoms like morning sickness.”
Chu Luo nodded and reminded her, “Don’t forget the taboo during the early stages of pregnancy.”
Anya’s face fell at the mention of this. “Got it.”
The two of them chatted for about half an hour before Anya’s makeup was finally done. The queen and a few women entered from outside.
Seeing that Anya was chatting with Chu Luo on video, everyone chatted with Chu Luo for a while.
Worried that Anya would miss the time, Chu Luo said, “I’ll hang up first.”
Anya nodded. After everyone said goodbye, she turned off the video.
Chu Luo had just closed her laptop when Li Yan pushed open the office door and strode in.
A bodyguard followed behind him.
‘The bodyguard was saying to him, “Master, we found another group of suspicious people near the company. Team B is bringing people to deal with them.”
After Li Yan entered, the first thing he saw was Chu Luo by the window.
He stopped and said to the bodyguard, “Send more people over with laser guns.”
No one could guarantee which group of people came at this time.
“Yes.”
The bodyguard turned around and left.
Li Yan walked towards Chu Luo.
Chu Luo stood up and looked at him. “Have there been many people wandering around Blazing Glory’s headquarters recently?”
Li Yan walked over and touched her face. “Why didn’t you call me when you came?”
Chu Luo’s cheek subconsciously rubbed against his dry palm. She smiled and narrowed her eyes. “I asked Phoenix to teleport me here.”
Recalling what the butler had said, she asked him, “Why did it occur to you that the professors at Imperial University would want to attend our wedding?”
“Because my wife is a treasure in the eyes of Imperial University’s teachers and students.”
‘As Li Yan spoke, he wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms. “I told your school’s principal that the restaurant will be open for free on the first day. Those who go to eat will also receive wedding candy.”
‘The comers of Chu Luo’s lips curled up. She nodded and leaned her head against his chest. She asked, “Did you manage to invite Old Master Duanmu?”
Old Master Duanmu was smart. As long as the Duanmu family still had descendants, Old Master Duanmu wouldn’t refuse.
Li Yan didn’t tell Chu Luo in detail about this. He let go of her and went over to put away the things on the desk. Then, he held her hand and walked out of the office.
‘When the two of them walked to the underground parking lot, a large group of bodyguards was guarding the area.
Chu Luo looked around and said to Li Yan, “I’ll set up a formation outside this building. When the time comes, lure all those fools to a place and get your men to deal with them.”
“What do you need me to send someone to prepare?”
“No need.”
Chu Luo smiled at him. “I have everything here.”
She pulled him towards the car with the opened door.
After the two of them got into the car, Chu Luo said, “Yan, show me the 3D map near this building.”
Li Yan took the tablet and pulled out the nearby 3D map.
Chu Luo inserted a drawing software and quickly drew on it as she said to him, “Get someone to bury a tree branch about 20 centimeters each where I drew later. Don’t let anyone know.”
“Okay.” Li Yan watched her finish drawing and took the laptop to send the blueprint.
The car started.
In the next two days, Li Yan’s men dealt with a few batches of people.
Those people obviously realized that there was something strange about the building, so they didn’t make any moves again.
This way, it would be difficult to catch these people again.
Chu Luo rubbed her chin and thought. “Since it’s not easy to catch these people, why don’t we think of a way to lure them all to one place?”
December 29.
Anya and Qin Ming returned to the empire.
Chu Luo also started taking leave on this day.
She went straight to the Li residence.
Li Yan had also transferred his work to an office building in the Li residence these past two days.
Chu Luo was sitting in the villa in front and listening to the butler tell her what she needed to do the day before the wedding when she saw Qin Ming and Anya enter.
Anya was carried in by Qin Ming. At this moment, she didn’t look good.
Chu Luo quickly asked, “What’s wrong with Anya?”
