Chapter 49: Touching

Not long after the three of them separated, two suspicious-looking people followed Chu Luo.

After walking for a long time, they suddenly realized that something was wrong and stopped.

One of them exclaimed, “That’s strange. She clearly took this path. Why is she gone?”

The other person was also puzzled. “Other than a few trees and a barbed wire, there’s no place for anyone to hide at all. Have we seen a ghost?”

“Don’t scare me. There’s no such thing in broad daylight.”

“You coward. It’s obvious that Miss Wei’s cousin isn’t a ghost.”

“Then where do you think she went?”

“I…”

“Are you looking for me?”

A clear voice suddenly sounded above their heads, and they subconsciously looked up.

Chu Luo sat on a thin branch. Not only did she not break the branch, but her feet were also swinging leisurely.

She looked down at the two of them standing under the tree and asked, “Are you looking for me?”

The two of them looked at Chu Luo and felt an inexplicable fear in their hearts. At the same time, they subconsciously swallowed their saliva.

One of them pretended to be a good person and asked, “Little girl, how did you get up there? Aren’t you afraid of falling down?”

The other person felt that he had asked the wrong question, so he nudged him with his elbow and tried his best to pretend to be amiable as he said to Chu Luo, “Little girl, my master said that he and your father know each other, and he happens to know some secrets about your family. He asked if you wanted to go and listen to them.”

“Oh~ What secrets does our family have?” Chu Luo was still swinging her feet, and her innocent expression made her appear especially gullible.

The person said, “Sir definitely won’t tell us such a secret. Little girl, you just have to come with us to meet Sir.”

Chu Luo deliberately tilted her head and thought about it before asking, “Is your master Sister Yao’s older brother?”

“Yes, yes, yes. Little girl, you can come down now, right?”

“But I think the scenery up here is good. I can even see far away.”

After saying that, Chu Luo covered her forehead with her palm and looked forward.

Unexpectedly, she saw a familiar face.

She jumped off the tree branch and onto the ground. Just as the two of them widened their mouths into an O shape, she sneered. “I don’t want to play with you anymore!”

After she said that, the pill in her hand bounced towards the two of them.

“Ouch~~”

The sound of a pig being slaughtered instantly resounded in the vicinity. Chu Luo felt that it was ear-piercing and quickly struck their mute acupoints. Only then did she look down at the two people rolling on the ground. “Tell that person, it’s best not to provoke me. Otherwise, I will make him regret it.”

After saying that, she walked towards the person she saw.

On the slope of the lawn.

Li Yan sat in his wheelchair and watched the men and women playing golf in the distance with his usual cold and detached expression.

The person opposite him seemed to be waving his club casually, but at this moment, his heart couldn’t help but tremble. He was afraid that if something went wrong and his aim missed, he would ruin that master’s mood.

They had spent a lot of effort to invite this master out today. If they couldn’t convince him to participate in the big project they were going to develop, they would have to suffer a huge loss.

However, they didn’t expect Li Yan to choose this place. Moreover, after coming here, he said that he wanted to see them play golf.

Since this master had spoken, they definitely didn’t dare to disobey.

So they’d been playing golf here for two to three hours. No matter how tired they were, they didn’t dare to stop until that master had spoken.

“Daddy, I don’t want to play golf anymore.” The youngest and most beautiful woman in the group finally couldn’t help but grumble softly, “I think he’s just deliberately making us play golf for him to see. He’s treating us like monkeys!”

“Wanwan, shut up,” Ouyang Dong reprimanded in a low voice. “Since Master Li is willing to see us, it proves that he’s interested in our project. You have to keep your cool. If you ruin his mood and make this project go bust, see if I don’t freeze all your cards.”

“Daddy, how can you be like this!” Ouyang Wan became even more indignant. She thought to herself,

‘Instead of playing for god knows how many hours for him, I might as well go and have a chat with him. I don’t believe he won’t be charmed by my beauty.’

At this thought, she pretended to be obedient and quietly walked towards Li Yan while her father and the others continued playing.

“Stop right there.”

Two bodyguards dressed in black stopped Ouyang Wan five meters away from Li Yan.

Ouyang Wan didn’t mind. She revealed her most charming smile and said to Li Yan in a coquettish tone, “Master Li, can I talk to you in private?”

Li Yan glanced at her with a gaze that could freeze someone to their bones, making Ouyang Wan so frightened that her legs trembled.

At this moment, Li Yan gestured for one of his men to push his wheelchair.

Ouyang Wan watched Li Yan leave and widened her eyes in shock. Then, in a fit of anger, she pretended to turn around before abruptly wiggling between the two bodyguards and quickly running towards Li Yan.

“Li Yan.”

Chu Luo watched as a beauty threw herself into Li Yan’s arms. She stopped in her tracks and leaned her back against the metal net, watching the show with interest.

At this moment, the bodyguard standing beside Li Yan moved. As Ouyang Wan approached, he raised his leg and kicked her chest.

“Ah…” As a human traced a trajectory, the screaming stopped. Ouyang Wan fell heavily ten meters away and fainted.

When the people who were playing golf saw this scene, they immediately threw down their clubs and ran over.

“Wanwan!”

“Master Li, listen to our explanation.”

“Master Li, Wanwan didn’t mean anything. Don’t misunderstand.”

Other than Ouyang Wan’s father, who had gone to the unconscious Ouyang Wan’s side, everyone else wanted to explain to Li Yan.

Li Yan glanced at them sternly. The group seemed to be frozen and didn’t dare to speak again.

Li Yan indifferently spat out two words. “Get lost.”

Their faces instantly turned pale, but when they thought of his methods, no matter how displeased and furious they were, they could only leave.

After they left, Li Yan suddenly looked towards Chu Luo.

He asked in a deep voice, “Was the show good?”

Chu Luo didn’t walk over but merely stood there and grinned at him. “It’s alright, but you don’t seem to have a tender heart for the fair sex. That woman was quite good-looking.”

“Hmph!” A cold air emanated from Li Yan. “Who said she was good-looking?”

Chu Luo looked at his face and nodded in agreement. “That’s true. No matter how good-looking those people are, they won’t be as good-looking as you.”

As soon as Chu Luo finished speaking, the surrounding air seemed to have suddenly dropped to negative tens of degrees. The expressions of the bodyguards standing at the side changed drastically and they looked at Chu Luo with hidden sympathy.

Chu Luo blinked and asked innocently, “Did I say something wrong?”

Li Yan suddenly stood up from the wheelchair and walked up to her with a strong aura.

“Since you’re here, let’s settle the score from last time.”

“I helped you last time, okay? You repaid my kindness with ingratitude!”

Chu Luo didn’t move. She looked up at him, who was overflowing with danger.

The sunlight passed between them and landed on his cold but perfect chin.

Chu Luo suddenly wanted to see if any other expression would appear on this icy face.

Her hand followed her heart. Before she could react, her hand touched Li Yan’s handsome face.

In the next moment, she narrowed her eyes at him and quickly tapped his acupoints before subconsciously fleeing.

Li Yan looked at the bold girl who ran faster than a rabbit. After a few seconds, he said in a low voice to his subordinate, who had forgotten to react from the shock, “Go investigate.”

“Yes.”
