Chapter 263 - That Depends on the Speed at

The next day, Chu Luo was indeed woken up by Li Yan.

When she was really awake, she heard the sound of birds outside the window.

She sat up and asked, “What time is it?”

“Seven o’clock.”

Li Yan pointed at the clothes beside him. “I’ll send you there after breakfast.”

“You have nothing on today?”

“I do, but it’s on the way.”

“Eh?”

“I’m going to Imperial University,” Li Yan said. “I have to personally check on the gaming capsule.”

Chu Luo nodded, put on her clothes, washed up, and walked downstairs with Li Yan.

They ate breakfast downstairs today. Just as they ate, Chu Luo’s phone rang.

It was from Professor Wu.

Professor Wu smiled at her on the phone and said, “Little Chu, the Imperial Cyberspace Administration has taken a fancy to the Taiji Eight Trigrams Defense Network that you established during the competition last time. They want to hire you to build a Taiji Eight Trigrams Defense Network for the entire Imperial Internet.”

Chu Luo wasn’t very enthusiastic about this. She said, “It’s a waste of time.”

Professor Wu: “If you help the Imperial Cyberspace Administration build this defense network, the higher-ups will award you an honorary certificate. It will be very beneficial to your development in this area.”

“Really?”

Chu Luo was interested in the certificate being awarded. She said, “Alright, Professor Wu, confirm a time with them. Just tell me when the time comes.”

Professor Wu was stunned by her reaction before saying, “Okay.”

The two of them hung up.

Not long after she hung up the phone, Chu Luo received another call, this time from the school’s director. It was also regarding that defense network.

Imperial University also wanted to establish it.

Chu Luo didn’t refuse.

After the meal, Chu Luo got into Li Yan’s car.

She hadn’t seen Li Yan in a wheelchair for a few days and deliberately took a few more glances.

After looking, she asked, “How do you plan to deal with the Qin family?”

“I won’t be doing it myself. Someone will naturally resolve it when the time comes.”

Hearing this, Chu Luo suddenly thought of Qin Xiang, who had come to the villa yesterday. She asked, “Why did the Qin family come to the villa so late last night?”

“To express goodwill.”

“Mm?”

“The conflict between the Qin family and the Duanmu family is about to be exposed. What they need most now are money and weapons.”

“They want you to support them?”

Chu Luo couldn’t help but curl her lips. “Old Master Duanmu is your benefactor. Hasn’t the Duanmu family tried to let them know that you’re close to the Duanmu family in the past few years?”

“I didn’t give them that chance.”

“In that case, you’ll probably be very busy these next few days.” Chu Luo suddenly thought of Qin Xiang and said to Li Yan, “Does the Qin family want to give you Qin Xiang?”

Li Yan reached out to hold her hand and his expression turned cold. “They’re dreaming!”

Chu Luo quickly used her other hand to caress the back of his hand and said, “If that’s the case, see if I don’t anger her to death… Hmph! Since she dares to snatch my man, she has to be prepared to regret it.”

Li Yan’s cold expression instantly disappeared because of her words.

He tightened his grip on her hand and said, “The Qin family is holding a banquet tonight.”

“Mm?”

“I didn’t intend to go, but I’ve changed my mind.”

Chu Luo looked at Li Yan’s profile and didn’t ask what he wanted to do. She only responded with an “Mm” and asked, “Do I have to attend?”

“Mm.”

Chu Luo pouted. “It’s a waste of my time to attend such a banquet. However… if you attend the Qin family’s banquet, the Duanmu family will definitely be anxious. I want to watch the show again.”

Li Yan pulled her into his arms and kissed her forehead. “Mm.”

Chu Luo looked up and asked, “When are we going over?”

“No hurry. It can be later.”

Chu Luo was satisfied. “Then I’ll end the experiment at 5:30 in the afternoon.”

“Okay.”

When Master Li went out, there were more than ten bodyguards’ cars following him.

When they arrived at Imperial University, the cars drove in.

There weren’t many people in Imperial University at this time.

Chu Luo alighted in an empty place and turned to walk towards the villa district outside the school.

However, she didn’t notice that when she got off the car, a girl passing by happened to see her.

The girl was stunned.

Chu Luo arrived outside the school gate. Not long after she walked on the street, she received a call from Chu Zhengyang.

It would have been better if this person hadn’t called. The moment he called, she remembered what he had done and sneered.

She swiped the answer button and heard Chu Zhengyang’s angry voice. “Luoluo, I asked you to go back to the capital with the people I found last night. Why didn’t you go back with them?”

Chu Luo sneered and asked, “Are those two still alive?”

“Luoluo, how can you say such a thing?”

“Haha! Chu Zhengyang,” Chu Luo said in a low voice. “Did you really find those two people to bring me to the capital and not bring me into the mountains and hand me over to a person who knows puppetry to turn me into a puppet doll?”

“How is that possible…”

“Shut up!”

Chu Luo had already lost her patience with this person. “You’d better not contact me again. Otherwise, I’ll make you regret it.”

Then she hung up.

Chu Luo put away her phone and quickly walked towards the high-end villa district.

At the villa at the back.

Elder Hu, Professor Tang, and Cao Dongliang were standing in the courtyard, pointing at the herbs that had been planted.

When the three of them saw Chu Luo enter, Elder Hu smiled and waved at her.

“Little Chu, did you get someone to plant herbs for the entire night when we were resting last night? It’s such a big courtyard, but you actually planted all of them.”

Chu Luo smiled. “We planted it according to the method you told me during the day.”

“Haha, then we’ll look forward to these seeds surviving.”

“They will.”

The three of them were amused by Chu Luo’s confident expression.

After discussing the method to grow herbs, they went to the research lab.

A day passed quickly.

Chu Luo told the three of them that she had something to attend to at five in the afternoon and left the laboratory.

When she took out her phone, she found that there were several missed calls. Other than Chu Zhengyang, there were also calls from Tang Zhiyun.

Chu Luo called Tang Zhiyun back.

Tang Zhiyun heaved a sigh of relief when he received her call. “Junior, you finally gave me a call.”

Chu Luo asked, “Why are you looking for me?”

Tang Zhiyun told her, “Many companies have been looking for you these days, but they couldn’t reach you on the phone, so they reached out to me. These people want to invite you to build a defense network for their Internet safety department.”

Chu Luo: “I’m not doing it.”

Tang Zhiyun chuckled. “I knew that you wouldn’t agree. I told them, but they refused to give up.”

Chu Luo thought for a while and said to him, “Tell them that I agreed to set up a Taiji Eight Trigrams Defense Network for the Imperial Cyberspace Administration. If they want to look for me, they can go to the Cyberspace Administration to apply.”

Tang Zhiyun laughed when he heard this. “Okay, Junior, that is a good idea.”

Before Tang Zhiyun could finish speaking, Wang Mingtao’s anxious voice drifted over. It was obvious that he had taken the phone. “Sister Chu, you really agreed to set up a defense network for the Imperial Cyberspace Administration?”

Chu Luo asked, “Is it very strange?”

Wang Mingtao: “Not at all! You’re contributing to the country now. Let’s see who still dares to question you, hehe!”

Chu Luo didn’t care if others doubted her. In any case, she liked to speak with her capabilities. However, she still said, “I heard that there will be a certificate when the time comes. I prefer that one.”

Wang Mingtao was stunned for a moment. He asked awkwardly, “Sister Chu, did you agree to the request of the Imperial Cyberspace Administration because you wanted the certificate?”

Chu Luo replied matter-of-factly, “Why else?”

Wang Mingtao laughed out loud. “Sister Chu is indeed Sister Chu. She’s too domineering.”

After saying that, he said excitedly, “For this, we have to celebrate after National Day.”

Chu Luo replied, “Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, Chu Luo walked out of the villa.

A car was already parked outside the villa.

Chu Luo walked over and the car window rolled down to reveal Li Yan’s handsome face. “Luoluo, get in.”

Chu Luo got into the car and asked, “Why are you here?”

“Go change your clothes first.”

“Where?”

“Company.”

“Where’s the Qin residence?”

“In the east.”

Chu Luo smiled. “When do you plan to go to their house?”

Li Yan tilted his head to look at her. “That depends on how fast you change your clothes.”

“…”

The car drove straight to the underground parking lot of the Blazing Glory Corporation.

It was already past six o’clock.

The two of them took the elevator to the CEO’s office on the top floor. Li Yan had already gotten someone to prepare a gorgeous evening gown for Chu Luo and placed it in his lounge.

There was a shawl on her evening gown. Chu Luo put it on and exuded a splendid aura.

Li Yan gave her another box of jewelry.

Chu Luo opened it and looked at him in surprise. “You actually got someone to make so many hairpins!”

“Mm, since you came from that era, you must be used to using this to updo your hair.”

Chu Luo curled her lips and took a hairpin from the box. She then picked up some hair, wanting to bun it up.

However, Li Yan pressed her down. “Make it a madam’s hairstyle.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Chu Luo pursed her lips and blinked at him. Li Yan then let go of her hand.

Chu Luo tied up all her hair according to his request.

With her hair up, her neck looked slender and fair, and her skin was like peach blossoms in March. Her beautiful eyes flowed with an indescribable charm. Coupled with the noble aura that naturally emanated from her body, this made one unable to move their eyes away.

When he saw her like this, Li Yan’s eyes darkened. He wrapped his arm around her waist and said in her ear, “Luoluo, I suddenly don’t want to take you there anymore.”
