Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Halfway through the morning class, the principal suddenly called out to Chu Luo three times through the school’s loudspeaker.

“Chu Luo, please come to my office immediately.”

At this moment, Chu Luo happened to be on her skateboard as she rushed to the classroom of another school. When she heard this, she turned around and moved towards the school’s heads’ office building.

When the other students heard this, they immediately started discussing it excitedly.

“Could it be that the school is participating in some major international competition again?”

“Are there any international competitions recently? The strongest brain? Mathematical Olympiad? Physics or chemistry?”

“It might not be a competition. Maybe something important is about to happen in school.”

“It’s possible. The principal must have something important to discuss with Chu Luo personally. Maybe someone important is coming to Imperial University to take a look.”

“I wonder what major event it will be this time? I hope Chu Luo can make Imperial University proud again.”

“Of course. Chu Luo has never disappointed us!”

…

Along the way, many people cheered Chu Luo on.

Chu Luo pursed her lips and didn’t reply.

Before confirming why the principal was looking for her, she didn’t comment.

Outside the school’s head office building, Chu Luo realized that there were a few cars parked in the open space.

Roundy, who was following beside her, told her, “Mistress, I detected that these cars are commonly used by the Duanmu family.”

Hearing this, Chu Luo guessed that it wasn’t the principal who was looking for her, but the Duanmu family.

“Ha, the Duanmu family is really thoughtful.” They actually used their status to get the principal to call her over.

She said to Roundy, “Roundy, wait for me here.”

Roundy stopped. “Okay, Mistress.”

Chu Luo put away the skateboard and walked into the office building.

At this moment, there was no one in the office building. It was obvious that they had cleared out beforehand.

When she reached the floor of the principal’s office, she saw many armed guards standing sternly.

Chu Luo walked towards the door of the principal’s office. As she approached, one of the guards knocked on the door. After someone said “Come in”, he pushed the door open.

“Miss Chu, please.”

Chu Luo walked in and immediately saw the old man sitting on the guest sofa.

The old man had white hair and looked much older than the last time she had seen him.

With his wise eyes, Old Master Duanmu stared at Chu Luo, who didn’t seem surprised at all. He gestured. “Little Chu, come and sit.”

Chu Luo calmly walked to the sofa opposite Old Master Duanmu and sat down. She looked into his eyes and said, “If Grandpa Duanmu is here to persuade me, I can only apologize. I’m just a student. I don’t know anything and have no intention of participating in anything.”

Old Master Duanmu looked into her eyes and smiled amiably. “Little child, can’t I just chat with you?”

He asked, “Are you and Young Li getting married on the 1st of January?”

Chu Luo wasn’t surprised that Old Master Duanmu knew about this in advance. She didn’t intend to hide it. “Yes.”

Old Master Duanmu looked relieved. “Haha… Very good, very good. Young Li’s birthday happens to be on that day. This is really a special day for him.”

“Mm.”

At this moment, Old Master Duanmu suddenly sighed. “Young Li has had a hard life. Because of his shrewd business acumen, he was chosen as the heir to the family business at a young age. I didn’t expect that because of this, his family would be jealous and hate him.

“The first time I saw him, he had been in the mountains outside the city for a week. He was alone and his legs had been crippled. It was also the rainy season, but he actually survived. At that time, I thought that this kid would definitely be a ruthless person in the future.

“At that time, Young Li told me that as long as I helped him leave that place, he would repay my kindness in the future.”

Chu Luo looked at Old Master Duanmu, who had a restrained expression. After he finished speaking, she said, “All these years, Yan has given the Duanmu family a lot of financial support. Moreover, in order to find medicine that can save your life, he has spent a lot of manpower and resources. I think this is enough to repay your kindness.”

Old Master Duanmu was a little surprised that Chu Luo knew so much. He was silent for a few seconds before smiling. “Looks like Young Li really loves you very much.”

He said, “You’re right. Actually, Young Li has already repaid my kindness to him. It’s our Duanmu family who are too discontent that such a thing happened today.”

At this point, he sighed. “I didn’t manage my descendants well. Now that things have reached this stage, they deserved it, but… as a father and grandfather, I can’t bear to see my descendants be ruined. Little Chu…”

Old Master Duanmu looked up at her and suddenly stood up to bow to her.

Chu Luo sat there and watched as the white-haired old man bowed to her. Her expression instantly became serious.

Old Master Duanmu said, “I hope you can help our Duanmu family. Tell Young Li not to hand over the evidence of those bastards’ deeds to the Sun family. Otherwise… our family will really be finished.”

Chu Luo’s eyes were cold and distant. She said, “Grandpa Duanmu, I said before that I’m just a student. Yan doesn’t let me participate in any of these things. Yan is the one you should be looking for now.”

Old Master Duanmu straightened his back, his face filled with tears.

Chu Luo looked at him and suddenly couldn’t bear to see him like this.

Old Master Duanmu’s lips trembled as he said, “I said before that Young Li is a ruthless person. If it’s useful to look for him, I definitely wouldn’t have looked for you.”

Chu Luo looked at him. “Grandpa Duanmu, take a seat first.”

Old Master Duanmu was about to sit down when he suddenly clutched his chest and looked pained.

“Grandpa Duanmu, what’s wrong?”

“I… I…”

Cold sweat quickly appeared on Old Master Duanmu’s face and his face turned pale.

Chu Luo knew that he wasn’t faking this, so she stood up and quickly walked towards him.

After walking over, she held his body and wanted to take his pulse.

At this moment, Old Master Duanmu said in a low voice, “Little Chu, don’t blame me for being ruthless. I don’t have a choice either.”

Chu Luo’s eyes widened. She hadn’t sensed his hostility towards her at all just now. At this moment, he actually took out a gun and stuffed it in her hand.

In the next second, the door was knocked open and a group of guards and a few reporters rushed in.

Chu Luo looked at Old Master Duanmu, who still had a pained expression on his face, and listened to the reporters’ indiscriminate accusations and questions after entering. She lowered her eyes and asked in a low voice, “Grandpa Duanmu, for the sake of your family, do you really not want the last bit of your relationship with Yan?”

“Sorry, our Duanmu family can’t collapse.”

Old Master Duanmu closed his eyes slightly and said with a disappointed expression, “Little Chu, I know that you and Young Li are really in love. You couldn’t stand him selling out the empire and wanted to look for me to help in private, but you were too impulsive.”

When the reporters heard this, anger appeared on their faces.

“Chu Luo, to think you’re such a person. To think you’re a famous person at Imperial University. Did you study so much to become so fearless that you even dare to threaten Old Master Duanmu?”

“Chu Luo, do you know Old Master Duanmu’s identity? Do you know how much he has contributed to our empire? You actually pointed a gun at him for the CEO of the Blazing Glory Corporation.”

“Someone like you really doesn’t deserve to be a student at Imperial University! Neither do you deserve to live in this world!”

“We actually used to think that you were a good person and built such a positive image of you, but you actually did such a thing. How is someone like you different from those evil people?”

“Someone like you should be shot to death immediately.”

“We want to expose your actions and let the entire world criticize you.”

…

Chu Luo listened to the reporters’ sharp accusations and smiled mockingly.

She continued to look at Old Master Duanmu, who had a pained expression, and asked, “Grandpa Duanmu, you must have been given a boost when you came. Your heart is almost unable to take it anymore, right? You’ve really put in a lot of effort for this.”

“How dare you! Chu Luo, do you know who you’re talking to?”

The guards beside Old Master Duanmu were about to catch her.

Chu Luo looked at the gun in her hand and said calmly, “Don’t come over. I’ve never played with guns before. It might go off accidentally.”

The reporters and bodyguards were stunned by Chu Luo’s words.

“Chu Luo, do you know what you’re saying now? If we upload the video of you pointing a gun at Old Master Duanmu, you, your family, relatives, and friends will be finished.”

“Chu Luo, turn back to the shore before it’s too late. As long as you immediately submit to the law, your family and friends won’t be implicated by you.”

Chu Luo looked at the panic on their faces and giggled. Her appearance made people feel fear for no reason.

Old Master Duanmu didn’t expect Chu Luo to be able to threaten these people. He hardened his heart and was about to speak when he realized that not only was he unable to move, but he was also unable to speak.

At this moment, the sound of a helicopter’s rotor came from outside the window.

Everyone subconsciously turned around.

A few helicopters flew over.

When the reporters saw the helicopters, they thought that the people who were here to arrest Chu Luo had arrived. They heaved a sigh of relief. Someone immediately said to Chu Luo, “Chu Luo, the people who are here to arrest you are here. It’s not too late to put down the gun now. Otherwise, you will regret it.”

The guards that Old Master Duanmu had brought felt that something was wrong with him.. They immediately pounced over to restrain Chu Luo.
