The Wife of the Wealthy Family Is Fierce and Cute.

Chapter 212: Chu Luo Is Threatened

When Chu Luo heard this, her frown deepened. “What happened? Who leaked the news?”

Qin Ming: “No one leaked the news. The Flaming Phoenix Grass is in the territory of the Southern Wilderness’s necromancers. They must have offended something there and were captured. These people lost contact with me last night.”

Chu Luo lowered her eyes and thought for a while before saying, “Send me the location.”

Qin Ming was unwilling. “Master has to speak on this matter.”

He then said, “Miss Chu, please wake Master up.”

Chu Luo was displeased. “It’s obvious that he hasn’t been resting well these past few days.”

Qin Ming fell silent.

Chu Luo said, “Let him sleep for another hour. When he wakes up, I’ll tell him about it.”

Then she hung up.

After hanging up, Chu Luo left Li Yan’s phone there and went out.

Chu Luo said that Li Yan should sleep for another hour, so she really waited for him to sleep for another hour before removing the magic she had cast on him.

The moment Li Yan opened his eyes, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.

“Er…”

Chu Luo ran into his arms and knocked her forehead against his chin. She said in a displeased tone, “Big baddie, what are you doing?”

Li Yan lowered his head and kissed her forehead before saying in his unique hoarse voice, “Little thing, did you make me sleep for a while longer?”

“How do you know?” Chu Luo looked up at him curiously.

Li Yan pecked her on the lips before saying, “I woke up too when you woke up.”

When Chu Luo heard this, she smiled and nodded. “Yes, I just made you sleep for one more hour.”

After saying that, she raised her finger and tapped his eyelids. With a straight face, she said, “Your dark eye circles are out. So ugly.”

Li Yan punished her fiercely for her provocation.

After a while, he asked, “Do you still think I’m ugly?”

Chu Luo shook her head tactfully. “No.”

Then, she added, “With the skincare products that I’ve developed, you can’t be ugly even if you wanted to.”

Li Yan: “…”

“Hehe.”

…

When Li Yan got out of bed to wash up, Chu Luo told him about Qin Ming’s call.

Li Yan’s expression didn’t change and he only responded with an “Mm.”

Chu Luo stood by the bathroom door and said, “I’ll draw a few talismans for you later. Get someone to send them over. Necromancers deal with the dead and have certain strong beliefs. Your people must have offended something in their area.

“After you take those talismans, get someone to burn one at the back of their mountain. After they’ve done that, those people won’t make things difficult for your people.”

Li Yan looked at Chu Luo and realized that this little thing seemed to know a lot about this area. He pulled her over and asked, “How can you be sure that your talismans can save them from the things they offended?”

“Because…” Chu Luo’s eyes darted around. Thinking that there wasn’t a High Priest or Priestess in this world, she couldn’t explain it clearly. She said seriously, “You just have to know that I’m very powerful.”

Li Yan looked at her confident face and couldn’t help but move his hand on her waist.

“Ah!”

The next second, Chu Luo was in his arms. She patted his shoulder in dissatisfaction. “Big baddie, what are you doing?”

Li Yan hugged her tightly and asked, “Did you deal with such matters in the past?”

Chu Luo thought for a while and nodded. She did have to offer sacrifices to the dead after a major war.

Li Yan tightened his grip on her and didn’t say anything else.

Chu Luo said that she wanted to draw talismans, but she didn’t have any materials on her, so she asked Li Yan to help her prepare some things.

After Li Yan agreed, he didn’t leave immediately.

Li Yan had sent one of his men, disguised, to bring them breakfast this morning.

While they were eating breakfast, someone knocked on the door.

Chu Luo put down her chopsticks and opened the door. As she walked, she said to Li Yan, “It must be the technician. He said yesterday that he would help me find some computer-related information.”

After saying that, she walked to the door and opened it. Sure enough, it was that technician, Joshin.

Joshin was from Russia and didn’t talk much usually. However, whenever he talked about computer stuff, it was like he was a different person. Initially, he had been ignoring Chu Luo. Ever since he realized that Chu Luo knew more things than they imagined yesterday, he had become more friendly towards her last night.

“Good morning, Chu.”

“Good morning, Joshin.”

After they exchanged greetings, Joshin asked, “Chu, have you eaten breakfast? I bought extra. Why don’t we eat together?”

“I’m eating.”

As Chu Luo spoke, she didn’t intend to let him in. She asked, “Have you brought the information you mentioned to me?”

“I brought it.” Joshin also took out that document from his bag and passed it to her.

At this moment, footsteps came from behind Chu Luo.

Joshin looked at the man who walked out and was a little surprised. “Chu, this is?”

Chu Luo stepped aside. After Li Yan stood beside her, she thought that it would be fine to tell him, so she said, “He’s my boyfriend.”

Joshin nodded. “Since Chu is eating with your boyfriend, I won’t disturb you. If you have anything you don’t understand, you can discuss it with me at the research center later.”

“Okay.”

Joshin turned around and left with his breakfast.

Chu Luo retracted her gaze and saw Li Yan looking deeply in the direction Joshin had left.

Chu Luo tugged at his arm. Li Yan retracted his gaze and held her hand as they walked towards the dining table.

After their meal, Li Yan said to her before leaving, “I’ll get someone to prepare what you want today.”

Chu Luo nodded. “Okay.”

Chu Luo thought that Li Yan would come tonight, but to her surprise, the person who came tonight was the butler.

The butler was waiting for her in front of her dormitory building with the things she wanted. When he saw her coming, he said, “Miss Chu, Master has a banquet to attend tonight and he asked me to come and deliver what you wanted.”

Chu Luo nodded. After letting him in, she went to the study room and drew a few talismans for him.

The butler took the talismans and Chu Luo asked, “Whose banquet is he attending today?”

Chu Luo knew that Li Yan usually wouldn’t attend banquets. He definitely had a motive for attending.

The butler replied, “Master is attending the Qin family’s banquet tonight.”

“The Qin family? The Qin family that is at odds with the Duanmu family?”

“Right.”

Chu Luo frowned. “Then why did he go?”

“Miss Chu, don’t worry. Master is prepared. The Qin family won’t be able to threaten Master.”

At this point, the butler didn’t forget to remind her, “On the other hand, Miss Chu, please be more vigilant at present. The Qin family should already know that you didn’t go to military training. They will definitely think of ways to plant people beside you recently.”

“…” Chu Luo was silent for a while before asking, “The Qin family knows about me?”

The butler nodded. “The Qin family and the Duanmu family are similar in strength. They must have already found out about you and Master through special channels.”

Chu Luo understood.

The butler then left.

Li Yan didn’t come over tonight.

The next morning, Chu Luo received a call from him.

Li Yan was going overseas.

After hanging up, Chu Luo went to the technology building.

In the afternoon, a staff from the technology building suddenly sent her a package. “Miss Chu, someone sent you a package just now. They specifically asked you to check it personally.”

Chu Luo looked at the package and narrowed her eyes. Before she could speak, Professor Wu frowned and asked, “Who sent the package? How did that person know that Little Chu is here?”

The staff obviously knew who the person who sent the package was, so he replied with a smile, “It was sent by an undergraduate teacher. She said that it was the information Chu Luo wanted previously.”

“I don’t know that person.”

After Chu Luo finished speaking, she received the package under the surprised gaze of the staff and the frown of Professor Wu.

“But I’ll take this package.”

With that, she walked towards the lounge with the package.

There were individual rooms in the lounge where the staff could rest after lunch.

Chu Luo entered a single room and quickly opened the bag. There were indeed a few books of information inside. She took out a book from it and quickly flipped through it. Sure enough, she found a note on one of the pages.

The note said: “I have evidence of you hanging out with Master Li’s subordinate. Come to the pavilion on the west side of Crescent Lake (a lake in Imperial University) at 11 o’clock tonight. Otherwise, I will send the evidence to Master Li.”

After reading the note, Chu Luo couldn’t help but rub her chin. “Looks like not only did they find out that I married Li Yan, they even thought that I had something going on with his men.”

At the thought of this, a glint flashed across her eyes.

“But this person came to me to threaten me, so I’ll play along with him.”

At the thought of this, she put away the note and walked out merrily.

At this moment, the staff member who had sent the package over had already left. Professor Wu was still waiting for her.

When Professor Wu saw her come out, he asked worriedly, “Little Chu, do you really not know the teacher who sent you something?”

In order not to worry him, Chu Luo nodded. “A friend of mine asked that teacher to pass the books to me. I forgot about this matter just now. I remembered it when I saw the books.”

Only then was Professor Wu relieved.

A day passed quickly.

At 10:30 PM, Chu Luo came out of the technology building with everyone.

Professor Wu even said to her, “Little Chu, you’ve been studying for several nights now. Rest early tonight or your body won’t be able to take it.”

Chu Luo nodded at him. “Okay, Professor.”

Everyone parted at an intersection.

Chu Luo walked towards the PhD building where she was staying under the gaze of Professor Wu and the others.

It wasn’t until she walked out of their sight that Chu Luo turned around and walked towards Crescent Lake.

It was already very late. As Chu Luo walked, she didn’t meet anyone.

Crescent Lake was half an hour away from the PhD building. Chu Luo wasn’t in a hurry. She walked over slowly.

When she arrived at the pavilion at Crescent Lake, it was already past eleven.

There was no one there. Most people would think that the person waiting for her had left because they were impatient.

Chu Luo sensed that the person was hiding in the surroundings.

She pretended not to know and stood in the pavilion for half a minute before turning around to leave.

As soon as she walked out of the pavilion, a person walked out from the shade of a tree.

This person deliberately walked over with his back facing the street lamp. His hands were still in his pockets, looking rather mysterious.

Chu Luo stopped and asked, “Are you the person who gave me the note?”

Instead of answering, that person said, “You’re late.”

Chu Luo complained in all seriousness, “This place is too far away, and I’m not familiar with Imperial University. It’s already good enough that I can find it.”

After saying that, she went straight to the point. “Where is the evidence you mentioned? How much money do I need to pay before you’ll give it to me?”

“Are you afraid that Master Li will find out about you and his subordinate?”

“You’re stating the obvious. Master Li is so scary. Aren’t you afraid?”

“In that case, how dare you lay your hands on his subordinate?”

“What do you mean by lay my hands on his subordinate? He and I are in love.”

The person opposite her looked a little excited, and his hand was trembling in his pocket.

Chu Luo glanced at the person and asked impatiently, “I’m here. Hurry up and give me the evidence.”

“What evidence do you think I will give you?” This person’s expression changed immediately. At the same time, he took out his hand from his pocket and held a recording pen in it. He said proudly, “I’ve already recorded what you said just now. Tell me, if I let Master Li hear this, what will he do to you?”

Chu Luo played along and said in a trembling voice, “You… you were lying to me?”

With that, she moved to snatch the recording pen from his hand.

That person took out a knife and pointed it at her.

Chu Luo stopped in her tracks.

That person walked towards her.

“I already have something on you. You better listen to me obediently, or else…”

Chu Luo pushed back and said as she retreated, “I’m Master Li’s woman. If you dare to do anything to me, I’ll get Master Li to kill you.”

“Hmph! A two-timing woman actually dares to threaten me. Looks like you still don’t know how ruthless Master Li is towards a betrayer.”

“I’m so beautiful. How could he bear to be ruthless to me?”

“Hur! Woman, you think too highly of yourself.”

After that person finished speaking, he was about to approach Chu Luo. Chu Luo looked at his proud expression and thought about how to deal with this person.

At that moment, a snort suddenly came from the side. “Is bullying a woman something to be proud of?”
