Chapter 572 - The Wedding (2)

Translator: Atlas StudiosEditor: Atlas Studios

There was suddenly a considerable commotion below the stage.

Everyone knew about the Duanmu family and Li Yan’s relationship.

“What’s going on? Is Old Master Duanmu planning to not give Li Yan face?”

“No way? Then why did he agree to host their wedding? Is he deliberately causing trouble for CEO Li?”

“Looks like Old Master Duanmu didn’t forgive Li Yan and the Sun family.”

“That’s true. Even if the Duanmu family has their own reasons for courting death, no one will be able to get over the hurdle in their hearts after a trusted junior suddenly allied with outsiders to attack their family, right?”

The discussions below the stage became more and more enthusiastic.

At this moment, Old Master Sun, who was sitting beside Old Master Duanmu, suddenly said in a low voice, “Duanmu Zhao, think carefully. If you dare to cause trouble for my granddaughter and grandson-in-law today, I’ll make all those people from your Duanmu family die.”

Old Master Duanmu’s hand trembled abruptly. He turned to look at Old Master Sun with powerful anger in his eyes.

Old Master Sun had a stern expression. His aura was the same as back then. That ruthlessness had always been something the few of them didn’t dare to provoke.

Old Master Duanmu suddenly lowered his eyes and asked Li Yan, “If Chu Luo didn’t appear, who would you have chosen to help?”

“Lwouldn’t have helped anyone.”

Without Chu Luo, he wouldn’t have a heart. Without a heart, he would only be the king of the business world, using all means to accumulate wealth.

Li Yan’s answer made Old Master Sun glare at him in dissatisfaction.

But he knew that was the truth.

‘When Old Master Duanmu heard this, he laughed. He looked into Li Yan’s eyes and nodded before taking the teacup from his hand to take a sip.

Then, Chu Luo served him tea.

“Grandpa Duanmu, please have some tea.”

Old Master Duanmu looked at the beautiful girl in front of him with mixed feelings. He asked, “Who exactly are you?”

When he heard this, Old Master Sun looked at him in dissatisfaction. “She’s my granddaughter!”

Old Master Duanmu ignored Old Master Sun and continued to look at Chu Luo.

“You can’t be Chu Luo. No one can compare to your ability. You were the one who asked Little Li to give me the medicine back then, right?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Chu Luo looked back at Old Master Duanmu. After a while, she smiled. “Grandpa Duanmu, have some tea.”

Old Master Duanmu didn’t receive an answer, which was expected. He retracted all the emotions in his eyes and calmly took the teacup from her hand.

Only then did the discussion below the stage stop.

‘The ceremony continued.

After the ceremony, Chu Luo and Li Yan went down to change.

Then, there was the banquet.

The banquet started and more than a thousand banquet tables were held.

Only then did Chu Luo realize that Li Yan had actually called all the higher-ups in the headquarters to be escorts.

Other than Li Yan, the entire Sun family was mobilized (except for Old Master). Everyone divided their work to entertain the people from the political, business and academic world.

Even so, Li Yan still had to drink a lot.

Two hours later, Chu Luo felt that Li Yan was drunk, so she tugged at his clothes.

‘When he looked at her, she whispered, “Yan, stop drinking. You’re drunk.”

Li Yan, who didn’t look drunk at all, nodded at her and tilted his head to whisper in her ear. “Go outside and wait for me. I’ll come out immediately. Let’s go rest.”

Chu Luo nodded at him and quietly walked towards the door.

She had just walked out when she saw Anya mumbling in a chair outside. She looked a little unhappy.

Chu Luo walked over strangely and asked, “Anya, what are you doing here?”

“chu…”

‘When Anya saw Chu Luo, she pointed at her stomach and pouted. “This naughty baby doesn’t even let me play to my heart’s content. I was chatting with the princes and princesses of a few countries just now, and he started becoming mischievous.”

Chu Luo held in her laughter at her expression and walked to sit beside her.

Anya continued, “I vomited so hard just now.”

“Why don’t you go back and rest?”

“No, there are so many people here today. I have to help you entertain them.”

“Where’s Qin Ming? Does he know that you’re vomiting again?”

“He doesn’t know. I didn’t tell him.” Qin Ming was responsible for the safety of the Li residence today and didn’t appear at the wedding venue.

Chu Luo conjured an orange for her.

Anya finally felt better after eating it. She then remembered and asked, “Why did you come out?”

Chu Luo smiled and didn’t say anything.

Anya actually guessed something this time. Her eyes widened. “Don’t tell me you two are trying to escape halfway?”

Chu Luo raised her eyebrows at her.

Anya was silent for a while before giving her a thumbs up. “Awesome!”

“But if you leave, who will clean up the mess?”

“We’ll come back again. Yan should have already made arrangements for this period of time.”

“That’s true… Hehe, on the day Blockhead and I got married, we escaped early as well. I didn’t expect you guys to also escape early.”

‘The two of them didn’t speak for long before a figure walked out of the door.

Chu Luo looked at Li Yan and said to Anya, “We’ll leave first.”

Anya nodded. “Go ahead. I promise not to tell anyone.”

Chu Luo smiled and stood up to leave with Li Yan.

The two of them returned to their villa.

Looking at the festive house, Chu Luo walked to the sofa and sat down. She took off her shoes and nestled there.

Li Yan walked over and sat beside her.

Chu Luo extended her leg to him and said pitifully, “My leg hurts.”

Li Yan started massaging her.

Chu Luo said, “I’ll make you some sobering tea later.”

“No need. I’ll just rest for a while.”

Li Yan let go of her leg and leaned back to rest.

Chu Luo knew that he had been busy with their wedding and company during this period of time. Coupled with the fact that he had drunk so much wine just now, he must be tired.

She raised her finger and tapped his eyelids, using the power of a priest to make him sleep more soundly.

After Li Yan fell asleep, Chu Luo let him lie on the sofa and got him a blanket to cover him with. She sat in the armchair at the side and swiped her phone.

Today’s news was dominated by their wedding.

Chu Luo looked at it for a while. There were all kinds of headlines, some blessing, some jealous… all kinds.

However, she didn’t care what others said.

At this moment, Li Yan’s phone suddenly rang in his pocket.

Worried that he would be woken up, Chu Luo quickly walked over and took out his phone. Seeing that it was from Qin Ming, she picked up the call.

Chu Luo was the first to speak. “Qin Ming, it’s me.”

Qin Ming wasn’t surprised and said to her, “Miss Chu, there’s an abnormality in the north river. If you have time, come and take a look.”

Since Qin Ming had said that, the situation must be a little serious. Chu Luo nodded, hung up the phone, put on her shoes, and left.

Chu Luo quickly arrived at the place Qin Ming had mentioned.

Beside the river, many bodyguards were shooting into the river with guns. Qin Ming was standing at the side.

At this moment, a bodyguard turned to him and said, “Boss, the thing inside can’t be killed.”

Just as that person finished speaking, a shadow suddenly darted up from the river, grabbed his leg, and pulled him into the river.

Plop!

“Ouch-~”

“Help!”

Just as everyone was panicking, Chu Luo jumped to the river and lifted that person up.

On that person’s leg was a fish that was biting his leg and not letting go.

Chu Luo shot a silver needle and the fish loosened its teeth and fell back into the river.

Chu Luo carried that person and jumped to the shore.

Qin Ming quickly walked over and asked that person, “How are you?”

“My legs feel like they’re on fire… Ooh…”

That person looked like he was in great agony.

Chu Luo gestured to Qin Ming. “Take off his shoes for me to see.”

Qin Ming quickly took off his shoes. However, when his feet were revealed, everyone gasped.

The color on his feet had turned black, as if they had been scorched.

Qin Ming seemed to have thought of something. With a serious expression, he quickly lifted his trouser leg. The black color was actually slowly spreading upwards.

Chu Luo took out silver needles and quickly sealed a few acupoints on his leg. She said to Qin Ming, “Hold him down. I’ll help him treat his leg.”

Qin Ming quickly pressed down on his body and asked, “Miss Chu, is he poisoned?”

“Yes, a type of corpse poison.”

Although Qin Ming felt very surprised, he didn’t ask further.

Chu Luo quickly took out the talisman and chanted for a while. The talisman quickly spontaneously combusted and finally turned into ashes.

Chu Luo took out a small bottle and placed the ashes in it. After mixing it with the medicine inside, she quickly poured it on that person’s feet.

Pfft.

“Ah”

“Hold him tightly. Don’t let him move.”

“Zhang Qing, don’t move!”

After a while, the black color on Zhang Qing’s legs slowly fell to his feet and disappeared.

Zhang Qing was already exhausted.

At the same time, a few bodyguards standing on the river shore shouted, “Boss, Miss Chu, these piranhas are here again.”

Chu Luo said to Qin Ming, “He’s fine now. Let him lie down and recover a little strength.”

Only then did Qin Ming let go of Zhang Qing and walk to the shore with Chu Luo.

Looking at the fish in the river, Chu Luo asked, “When did these fish come?”

“Half an hour ago.”

‘The Li residence was protected flawlessly. Even this river was guarded at all times.

Qin Ming had come over as soon as he received a call saying that something was wrong.

Chu Luo felt a little strange. “It’s obvious that someone deliberately placed these fish here. Their teeth are also stained with corpse poison.”

Chu Luo’s gaze was fixed on the river. After a while, her face darkened. “No, this isn’t a real piranha.”

Qin Ming and the group of bodyguards raised their guard.

Chu Luo jumped into the river again.

‘The moment her toes touched the water, a few fish jumped up and wanted to bite her feet.

Awhip appeared in Chu Luo’s hand and she quickly wrapped it around one of the fish before throwing it to the shore.

The fish that had been thrown to the shore actually grew legs and ran up.

Chu Luo jumped and wrapped the whip in her hand around it again. At the same time, she took out a laser gun from her Heaven-and-Earth pouch and fired at the fish.

The fish was turned into a puddle of metal by the laser gun.

Qin Ming’s face darkened. “It’s actually a robot fish.”

“They’re really persistent.”

After saying that, Chu Luo threw the gun to Qin Ming and took out a few laser guns for the other bodyguards.

Qin Ming and the others took their laser guns and walked to the river. They fired fiercely at the fish in the river.

Chu Luo took out her phone and quickly typed a code.

After a while, she said to Qin Ming, “You can stop now.”

Qin Ming gestured for everyone to stop.

Chu Luo walked to the shore of the river and shot a bead at them.

The beads exploded on the heads of the fish. Then, the fish exploded with crackling sounds, as though they had been thrown into a pot of oil.

Then, Chu Luo said to Qin Ming, “Walk two kilometers along the river. There’s a dive boat in the water. Send someone to blow it up immediately.”

Qin Ming nodded and sent someone to deal with the submersible vehicle.

Chu Luo and the others waited for more than ten minutes before a huge explosion came from the lower reaches.

Qin Ming moved his earpiece and told Chu Luo, “That sub has been blown up.”

Chu Luo nodded and looked at the river. After thinking for a while, she touched her Heaven-and-Earth pouch and took out something that looked like a magnet. Then, she placed the magnetite on the ground and took out a talisman to duplicate many magnetites.

“Get someone to place all of this on the shore of the river in the Li residence. If any robots come, they will be sucked in. When the time comes, you can use a laser gun to deal with them.”

“Okay.”

Then, Chu Luo took out another bottle of medicine. “If anyone is poisoned by the corpse poison just now, let the poisoned person take one of these pills first. It can save their lives.”

“Okay.” Qin Ming took it.

Chu Luo glanced at the time. More than 40 minutes had passed. Worried that Li Yan had woken up, she said, “Then I’ll go back first.”

Qin Ming nodded and Chu Luo turned to leave.

After walking out of everyone’s sight, she tapped her toes and used Qinggong to move towards their villa.

‘The moment Chu Luo returned to the living room, she met Li Yan’s dark eyes.
