Beibei looked at the book and furrowed her little brows.

The book made her a little uncomfortable.

Even Snowball, who was lying in her arms, let out rumbling noises.

Recalling that her mother had cautioned to tell her immediately if she sensed danger, Beibei hugged Roundy tightly and said to the boy, “Thank you.”

With that, she asked Roundy to put the book away.

The boy left after saying his class and name.

Beibei looked at the book in Roundy’s hand and said to him, “Roundy, take me back.”

Roundy brought Beibei back to Chu Luo’s office.

Beibei ran up to Chu Luo on her two short legs and pulled her sleeve. “Mommy, an older brother gave me a book just now. Beibei is afraid.”

Hearing this, Chu Luo’s eyelids twitched. She quickly asked, “Where is the book?”

Roundy handed the book to Chu Luo.

Chu Luo took the book and glanced at it, then flipped it open to take a look. Then, she placed the book on the desk and carried Beibei to sit on her lap. She first comforted her, “Beibei, don’t be afraid. Someone merely cast a curse on the book. You have the Evil Warding Talisman on you. It can’t hurt you.”

Beibei buried her head in Chu Luo’s arms and nodded.

Only then did Chu Luo ask Roundy, “Roundy, who gave Beibei this book?”

Roundy opened the control panel on his chest and let Chu Luo watch the video.

After Chu Luo finished watching it, she stood up with Beibei in her arms and walked out of the office.

Beibei hugged her neck tightly. “Mommy, where are we going?”

“We’re going to ask that older brother some questions.”

Chu Luo didn’t go to the department the boy mentioned. Instead, she asked his specialization’s teacher to pass him the message.

She carried Beibei and sat in a pavilion, waiting.

Ten minutes later, the boy rushed over from the school path.

When he saw Chu Luo, he subconsciously stood up. He was probably too nervous and actually stuttered. “Chu Chu… Professor Chu.”

Although Chu Luo had yet to be promoted to a professor, many students liked to call her that now.

Chu Luo nodded at him and asked directly, “Who gave you the book you gave Beibei just now? Why did you give it to her?”

The boy was stunned by the question. He was a little embarrassed and uneasy under Chu Luo’s gaze. “I… I don’t know either.”

After saying that, he quickly explained why he wanted to borrow books introducing antiques.

“My father likes to collect antiques. Whenever he has nothing to do, he goes shopping for antiques. I was afraid that he would be tricked, so I went to the Archeology Department to borrow a few books today. An archeology student helped me get those books.”

“What’s that student’s name and which class is he in?”

“He…”

The boy realized that he had actually forgotten, and this made him even more anxious.

Chu Luo knew at a glance that the boy had deliberately given that person something to make him forget. She didn’t ask further and handed him a talisman. “Take this.”

The boy didn’t ask anything and quickly took the talisman.

Soon, the boy felt the top of his head suddenly sober up. He said, “I remember now. That person said that he’s from third year XX class. His name is Xue Hao.”

Chu Luo nodded. “Thank you. You can go to class now.”

The boy opened his mouth, wanting to ask what had happened.

However, under Chu Luo’s cold expression, he didn’t dare to ask and left.

After walking for a while, the boy suddenly stopped and glanced at the hand that was holding the talisman just now. He exclaimed in surprise, but there was nothing inside. He scratched his head and asked strangely, “Why did Professor Chu look for me just now?”

After the boy left, Roundy asked Chu Luo, “Mistress, do you want to go ask that person?”

Chu Luo carried Beibei and walked back. As she walked, she said, “No need. These students were just used by someone. The person behind this will appear again.”

Chu Luo had just carried Beibei into the office when she received a call from Yu Tong.

Yu Tong had been working in her company as an executive since she graduated. She had been staying abroad for the past two years. With her extraordinary abilities, in just two years, she had transformed from a rookie to a businesswoman.

Other than Yu Tong, a few cadres of the Student Union had gone to work in Chu Luo’s company back then. Now, the companies under Phoenix were already famous internationally.

Yu Tong said to her on the phone, “Chu Luo, I’m coming back.”

Chu Luo smiled and asked, “Didn’t you say that you would stay abroad for at least three years? Why are you coming back after just two years? I thought you were so happy outside that you forgot your home.”

“Hey, don’t mention it.” Yu Tong was especially angry. “Recently, I encountered some trouble and need to come back to lie low.”
