Chapter 256: Where Are You Planning to Take Me?

There was something in the box that could control one’s mind.

To put it simply, the things inside could turn a person into a puppet doll.

Chu Luo looked around again and realized that there were surveillance cameras in several hidden places. The corners of her lips curled up and she took down the box, pretending not to know anything.

She took the box to the desk and opened it in front of the camera.

A black aura quietly entered her wrist.

Chu Luo took out a photo and an exquisite jade buckle.

In the photo were two very young people, a man and a woman.

The man’s looks bore a 50% resemblance to Chu Zhengyang’s. He was wearing a matching Tang suit and had a righteous look on his face. The woman was beautiful and was wearing a crescent white cheongsam. She had the gentleness of a young lady from a wealthy family in Jiangnan, but there was an indescribable heroic spirit between her eyebrows.

Chu Luo tapped her fingers on the photo and thought,

‘These must be your biological parents.’

The two people in the photo were very unfamiliar to her, but they were the biological parents of this body’s original owner after all. Chu Luo planned to keep the photo.

After she put the photo in her pocket, she looked at the jade buckle.

The jade buckle was made of top-grade Tianzi material. Unfortunately, someone had tampered with it. A black aura was emanating from it.

Chu Luo took the jade buckle, and Phoenix began to absorb all the black aura to purify it.

Chu Luo quickly stopped her in her mind. “Phoenix, don’t move.”

Phoenix was puzzled. “Mistress, why?”

Chu Luo smiled again. “I want to see what Chu Zhengyang wants to do to me.”

Phoenix stopped moving.

Chu Luo took the jade buckle and searched the study room again. She didn’t find anything and began to leave the study.

At this moment, someone knocked on the study door.

Then, the housekeeper pushed open the door and said to her, “Second Miss, I made you some desserts. If you want to eat, come down later.”

Chu Luo looked at her.

The housekeeper looked into her dark and sparkling eyes and felt inexplicably nervous. She subconsciously s.h.i.+fted her gaze away and said, “I’ve tidied up your bedroom. If you want to stay here tonight, you can directly do so.”

With that, she closed the study door and left.

Chu Luo looked at the closed study door, walked over, opened it, and slowly walked downstairs towards the bedroom she used to stay in.

The awkward bedroom still retained the same look as when she lived there, but the blanket had been replaced with a new one.

Chu Luo walked to the window and looked out.

It was already dark, and the streetlights outside the villa were emitting a faint yellow light.

It was already mid-autumn, and the night was slightly cold. The Persian chrysanthemum in the backyard was blooming beautifully.

Chu Luo only had to lower her eyes to see the colors under the street lamp.

At this moment, her phone rang again.

It was Chu Zhengyang.

Chu Zhengyang asked tentatively on the phone, “Luoluo, did you go back to our villa? Uncle is on the way to the south now. Someone will come and pick you up later. You can just follow those people.”

Chu Luo retracted her gaze from the large patch of color and only softly responded with an “Mm.” She was extremely obedient.

Chu Zhengyang heaved an obvious sigh of relief. Even his tone became a little more cheerful. “When Uncle comes back from the south, you can move back and live with Uncle. You can do whatever you want in the future, as long as you’re not with that man.”

Chu Luo looked at the street lamp surrounded by mosquitoes and wondered how Li Yan would react if he found out.

She only responded with a light “Mm.”

Chu Zhengyang was obviously relieved.

He hung up after saying a few more words.

Putting away her phone, Chu Luo became even more curious about what kind of “expert” Chu Zhengyang had found to control her.

At this moment, a message came in.

Chu Luo looked at the message and couldn’t help but smile.

Li Yan: “Baby, where are you now? I’ll pick you up.”

Chu Luo: “At the Chu family villa.”

Chu Luo: “Chu Zhengyang found an expert to control me.”

Li Yan replied after a while, his words filled with hostility. “Chu Zhengyang? Looks like this person needs to be dealt with.”

Chu Luo: “How do you want to deal with him?”

Li Yan: “Didn’t he want to go to the tomb? Then he’ll stay there for the rest of his life.”

Chu Luo pursed her lips and smiled. She typed: “The expert wasn’t found by Chu Zhengyang himself. He was used.”

Li Yan: “Mm.”

Li Yan: “I’ll be there in 20 minutes.”

Chu Luo: “Don’t be in a hurry to come in when you get here. Someone is here.”

Li Yan actually didn’t reply.

Chu Luo pursed her lips and muttered, “Don’t tell me you’d directly kill that person?”

Just as she finished mumbling, she heard the sound of a bowl falling to the ground.

Chu Luo pretended not to hear that and leaned against the window frame while browsing the web.

Only then did she realize that the trending topics of the day had something to do with their compet.i.tion. There were various experts’ comments and everyone else’s reaction when they found out that she had set up the Taiji Eight Trigrams Defense Network.

However, most people didn’t believe it.

Chu Luo didn’t mind. She exited the website and logged in to her email. There were many emails on it.

Chu Luo glanced at them. They were all from some companies, and most of them wanted her to do endors.e.m.e.nts.

She wasn’t interested at all. She jumped over to look at the sales schedule for the past two days that Chen Xuan had sent. The data on it was very pleasing.

After about twenty minutes, there was a knock on the door.

Before Chu Luo could reply, the door was pushed open impatiently.

Then, a middle-aged man and woman walked in.

The man’s eyes had been staring at Chu Luo’s face since he entered. There was a naked glint in his eyes.

The woman said, “Chu Luo, your uncle called us to pick you up. Come with us immediately.”

Chu Luo put her phone in her pocket and frowned in displeasure. “Didn’t anyone teach you that you have to knock on the door to enter someone else’s room, especially if it’s a girl’s bedroom? You can’t enter at will without getting permission.”

After saying those words, she flicked her finger.

“Ooh…” The man covered one of his eyes and groaned in pain. Then, he shouted, “Who did that? What hit me!”

The woman turned to look into his eyes. Her expression changed and her voice rose. She quickly said, “Your eyes are bleeding.”

After she said that, he abruptly turned to Chu Luo and stared at her hand. Anger appeared in his eyes. “Was it you?”

Chu Luo spread her hands. “Do you see something in my hand?”

After she said that, like a prank, a stone appeared on the tip of her finger. She flicked it again towards the man’s other eye.

Owww…

The scream that sounded like a pig being slaughtered was deafening. That man covered his eyes and rolled on the ground in pain.

The woman was shocked. They didn’t expect Chu Luo to be so powerful.

The woman looked at Chu Luo with a murderous gaze and gritted her teeth. “You la.s.s, we came to bring you back to the capital with good intentions, but you actually dare to treat my man like this… You’re deliberately inflicting harm. Do you think that I won’t call the guards to capture you immediately?”

“Whatever.”

Chu Luo glanced at the man rolling on the ground and snorted. “Didn’t the person who sent you here tell you to be polite to me?”

The woman was stunned to hear this.

Then, her expression changed and she said with a dark expression, “We’re just taking the chance to send you back to the capital. Who sent us?”

“Is that so?”

After Chu Luo finished speaking, she flicked her finger again. This time, the woman couldn’t move.

“What… what did you do to me?” The woman’s eyes widened.

Chu Luo looked at the man who was still shouting and said, “Too noisy.”

In the next moment, the man fainted.

The woman’s eyes widened even more.

Chu Luo narrowed her eyes. “Tell me, who asked you to come? Where do you plan to bring me?”

“What did you say?” The woman’s heart skipped a beat. Then, she thought of the master who was with them and became fearless again. “Chu Zhengyang was the one who asked us to bring you back.”

“You don’t want to tell the truth?”

Chu Luo took out the jade buckle, and the black aura floated into the woman’s body. Just as she was about to speak, she heard a movement by the bedroom window.

Chu Luo tilted her head and met Li Yan’s cold eyes.

Li Yan was wearing a mask tonight. After he flipped in through the window, the powerful cold aura on his body instantly engulfed the entire room.

When the woman saw Li Yan, her teeth subconsciously trembled.

Li Yan strode to Chu Luo’s side and glanced at the man who was still bleeding and unconscious. He stared at the woman. “What have you found out from them?”

Chu Luo shrugged. “I was about to ask.”

“I’ll do it!”

After Li Yan finished speaking, he glared at the woman opposite him, making her shudder. She had never seen someone with such a strong aura before. Her teeth trembled uncontrollably as she said, “We… we didn’t fool her. We… we really came to bring Miss Chu back to the capital.”

“Hmph!” Li Yan walked towards her with a murderous aura.

The woman was so frightened that her legs trembled. She wanted to escape, but her feet were so weak that she couldn’t lift them at all.

Li Yan spoke, his voice so low that it made one’s heart palpitate. “Where do you want to take Luoluo?”

“I…”

“Speak!”

“To… We’re bringing her to a mountain.”

“Where?”

“To the Peng Villa in the back mountain.”

The woman had just finished speaking when her eyes bulged, filled with fear and pain.

In the next second, her body went limp and she collapsed.

Chu Luo looked at the murderous Li Yan and walked over to pull his hand.

Only then did Li Yan retract his murderous aura. The dagger in his other hand was still dripping with red blood.

He looked even more cold and ruthless like this.

Chu Luo glanced at the two people on the ground and raised her hand. Instantly, they disappeared.

“I sent them to their companions.”

Li Yan was filled with murderous intent. “Take me there.”
