Chapter 610 - There Must Be a Shocking Conspiracy
Chapter 610 There Must Be a Shocking Conspiracy
No matter how good an impression Nangong Yi gave people, as long as it was someone from Ink Feather, everyone had no choice but to raise their guard.
“Why did he leave a wine bottle with a map with Little Chu?”
“Could it be that Ink Feather’s main purpose is to lure you to Death Island?”
“Ink Feather and the assassin organization are of the same nature. Moreover, they’re more ruthless than the people from the assassin organization. There must be a shocking conspiracy.”
Everyone guessed for a while before Old Master Sun said, “Let’s see what the map looks like first.”
Eldest Master Sun agreed. “No matter what conspiracy Ink Feather has, let’s see where the map is first.”
Since the two elders had said so, everyone stopped discussing.
Li Yan knocked on the laptop he brought over and showed it to everyone.
Everyone craned their necks to take a look. Old Master Sun thought that Li Yan’s laptop was too small and couldn’t see clearly, so he said, “Let’s go to the study and look at it on the projector.”
Everyone agreed and went to the study.
After Li Yan enlarged the map, everyone started studying it seriously.
After a while.
“Why does this map look like an island group?”.
“It’s obviously an island group. If it’s on land, how can it be one group?”
“Could it be the Death Isles at the Ink Feather headquarters?”
“Very likely.”
When everyone came out of the study, it was already eight at night.
The three madams quickly gestured for them to eat first.
First Madam said, “Even if you’re busy, you have to remember to eat. It’s already eight o’clock. Father and Little Chu must be hungry.”
At this moment, no one was in the mood to eat. However, thinking that the old and the young shouldn’t go hungry, everyone went to eat first.
After the meal, Li Yan and the three masters of the Sun family went to the study.
The others also went to do their own things.
Chu Luo sat and chatted with Old Master Sun.
Old Master Sun said, “If I were twenty years younger, I would definitely have personally led my troops to destroy Ink Feather. If this group of people isn’t eliminated, it will definitely bring a calamity to the entire world.” Chu Luo agreed. “There are too many capable and world-class people in Ink Feather. We’ve got to subdue these people, otherwise they can’t be kept alive.”
“It will definitely be difficult to subdue them.” Old Master Sun frowned. “Ink Feather already existed when I was young. At that time, they weren’t so arrogant. Their reputation suddenly rose 20 years ago.”
At this point, Chu Luo suddenly thought of the meteorite that had fallen onto the fox clan’s territory.
She asked Old Master Sun, “Grandpa, did anything major or strange happen in the world 20 years ago?”
Old Master Sun recalled for a while and said, “A few meteorites suddenly fell 20 years ago. Most of them fell into the sea.”
“Then how have they affected humans?”
“Hmm…”
Old Master Sun started recalling again.
After a while, he said, “Other than the fact that the weather changed a little during those two years, it didn’t affect anything else.”
Chu Luo nodded, lowered her eyes, and thought for a while before asking, “Grandfather, who discovered that ancient tomb at that time?” Rumors of that ancient tomb had started spreading 18 years ago. Chu Luo had a nagging feeling that it was related to those meteorites at that time.
“No idea. At that time, many people suddenly heard about it.” At this point, he seemed to have thought of something and said, “It started spreading 20 years ago. In the next year or two, many tomb raiders went to the tomb. Many people also went down, but those who went down never came up again.” “18 years ago, during your father’s time, those tomb raiders teamed up and went to the tomb together. In the end, those people didn’t come back up.” There was an array formation in the tomb, and there were so many poisonous substances and dumplings. Those people definitely wouldn’t be able to return.
However, this timing seemed a little strange. It didn’t look like there was an inevitable connection, but on further thought, it was too much of a coincidence.
Seeing that Chu Luo was silent, Old Master Sun asked, “My good granddaughter, why are you asking this? Did you discover something?”
“No, I’m just asking casually.”
Old Master Sun sighed. “If it were 40 years ago, even if I didn’t resolve these darned things, your maternal grandparents would have done so. Once people get older, they will consider many things and be overly cautious.” Chu Luo hadn’t expected him to mention the original Chu Luo’s maternal grandparents again. She asked curiously, “Grandpa, you said that my grandmother and I look a lot alike. What did she do back then?”
At the mention of Chu Luo’s grandmother, Old Master Sun’s expression carried a complicated sense of reminiscence. “She had many identities. Later on, I found out that she served the World Righteous Organization.”
“World Righteous Organization?” Chu Luo had never heard of it.
Seeing her reaction, Old Master Sun guessed her thoughts. “It’s normal that you haven’t heard of it. This organization was disbanded 35 years ago.”
“Why did they disband? Wasn’t it good to have such an organization around?”
Old Master Sun looked at her face, which was almost identical to her grandmother’s. He sighed and said, “There are so many countries in the world. Not all countries can get along peacefully. Their existence will break the balance of the world and won’t be tolerated by most countries.”
“Ha!” Chu Luo sneered. “Indeed, people value benefits above all else. But since the Ink Feather Organization came out, haven’t any of those countries taken any action?”
“Yes. Previously, we organized a joint team to eliminate them.”
“But you don’t even know where they are, do you?”
“That’s right.”
Chu Luo didn’t need to think to know that this would be the result.
Moreover…
“Maybe there are people from that organization in the upper echelons of some countries.”
“That’s right.”
The two of them chatted for a while before Li Yan walked out of the study.
Li Yan said to Old Master Sun, “Old Master Sun, we’re going back.”
He had many things to attend to.
Although Old Master Sun couldn’t bear to part with Chu Luo, he still waved his hand. “Let’s go, let’s go.”
He repeated, “Protect Little Luoluo well. If she loses a strand of hair, I’ll settle scores with you.”
Chu Luo stood up to say goodbye to him and left with Li Yan.
The next morning, Chu Luo went to see the Wang couple again.
Daddy Wang had already gone to work. He believed that Chu Luo and the others would save Wang Mingtao, so he had to earn money.
Mommy Wang’s eyes were still red and swollen, but she looked a little better mentally.
She pulled Chu Luo’s hand and said, “My brat lived in the countryside with his grandparents when he was young. One time, he went to the river with his friends to play… The river in my hometown is very deep. After the brat fell, he was only saved half an hour later but he ended up fine. Everyone said that he would definitely have good fortune after surviving a calamity. I believe he will be fine this time.”
Chu Luo nodded. “Auntie Wang, you’re right. Taozi will be fine.”
Mommy Wang finally smiled as if Chu Luo’s words were a calming pill. She said, “Little Chu, I know you’re capable. You’ll definitely be able to save that brat. When he comes out, if he looks for a girlfriend again, you must help him vet the girl. I think the brat will learn his lesson in the future and won’t dare to date any random girl.”
Chu Luo looked at Mommy Wang’s haggard face and nodded.
Chu Luo stayed in the Wang residence for an hour before coming out. Just as she walked out of the district, she received a call from Anya.
Anya asked her, “Chu, where are you?”
“I just came out of Auntie Wang’s house.” Chu Luo found it a little strange. “What’s wrong?”
Anya was silent for a few seconds before saying, “I just received a call from my second brother. He said that he will reach the empire today.”
Chu Luo frowned. “Why is he here?”
Anya: “My mother said that Second Brother angered Father again. Father sent him out. He was supposed to go to Europe, but he insisted on coming to the empire.”
Chu Luo asked, “What do you plan to do to him?”
Anya: “I’m not close to him. I’ll meet him tomorrow at most.”
At this point, she added, “I’m just worried that he will look for you.”
“Look for me?” Chu Luo was puzzled. “Why would he look for me?”
“Previously, he called me in private. He wanted to cooperate with you in developing cell regeneration medicine,” Anya said angrily. “I refused before. I didn’t expect him to call me again a few days ago. I refused again. To think he came to the empire. He will definitely look for you… Even if he doesn’t look for you, he will definitely look for Professor Tang or Doctor Hu.”
As Zhang Dongliang was from the military hospital, the Second Prince definitely wouldn’t look for him. As long as Chu Luo didn’t agree, the Second Prince would most likely target Professor Tang and Elder Hu.
It was obvious why Anya’s second brother wanted the development rights to the cell regeneration medicine.
If he wanted to be the king of America, he had to produce better results than his other brothers.
If he could participate in the research and development of cell regeneration, which could contribute to all mankind, that would be a huge political achievement.
“Hmph!” Chu Luo snorted. “Is he trying to reap without sowing? Dream on!”
She decided to tell Grandpa Hu and Professor Tang to pay more attention.
Unexpectedly, at around three in the afternoon, the US embassy called the principal and asked him to bring Chu Luo along to attend the banquet organized by the prince tonight.
The invitations had already been sent to the principal.
When the principal called Chu Luo, he was a little surprised. “Why didn’t the US embassy send the invitation to CEO Li directly? They even insisted that I hand it to you.”
Chu Luo was silent for a while before saying, “I’ll come over later to get the invitation.” With that, the two of them hung up.
Chu Luo hung up and called Anya.
When Anya received the call, she asked in a complicated tone, “Chu, did you receive the invitation my second brother sent? He actually asked the embassy to send an invitation to the entire upper-class circle of the capital before he even arrived.”
Chu Luo said, “I did. Moreover, he sent it to the principal and asked him to contact me.”
The two of them fell silent on the phone.
