Chapter 602 Strange Cries
Time passed quickly.
When Chu Luo’s cosmetics company was launched in the empire, it was already a week later.
She didn’t go to school during this period of time.
When she went to school, the first thing she did was get the Secretary Department to draft a proposal to collect scripts from the entire Imperial University.
When this proposal was out, the Student Union members were the first to explode.
“President, why did you suddenly get the idea to collect scripts? Are you up to something big next semester?”
“Could it be that our school is participating in an international competition related to this next semester?”
“Definitely. The president must have received internal news.”
Chu Luo let everyone misunderstand and didn’t say anything. She only said, “You’ll know when the time comes.”
Actually, her gathering of the scripts at Imperial University was beneficial to the students who passed it.
Chu Luo was confident that the Bai family could play the script well. She was also confident that she could earn a lot. When the time came, the person who wrote the script would definitely gain both fame and fortune.
However, it was more interesting to wait and announce this matter at the last moment.
She said to the people from the Secretary Department, “The script theme isn’t limited, but it has to be positive. As for the prizes…”
Chu Luo suddenly stopped, making everyone inexplicably excited.
Chu Luo curled her lips. “We’ll sign the film rights for the top three entries. As for the rest, we’ll decide later.”
“Tsk… President, don’t tell me you’ve already found a film company to cooperate with our Imperial University?”
Everyone became even more excited. Before Chu Luo could answer, someone else guessed, “President, are you preparing to cooperate with the film company under Blazing Glory?”
“Will this also boost our Imperial University’s film and television school?”
“Wow, I’m so excited just thinking about it.”
Chu Luo: “…”
These people were really imaginative.
However, they could just imagine it if they liked.
After Chu Luo discussed this with everyone, she put away her things and prepared to go to the engineering school. Yu Tong followed her and gossiped as she walked. “President, did that Xiao Hui look for you last time?”
When Chu Luo heard this, she stopped and frowned. “She looked for you?”
“No.” Yu Tong shook her head. “But I saw her at the city square last Sunday.”
Chu Luo was relieved and said, “The Sun family has already chased her out. In the future when you see that person, as long as she doesn’t cause trouble for you, just ignore her.” Yu Tong didn’t take Xiao Hui seriously at all. “I’m not afraid of her. That day, when I saw her, she seemed to be doing a live broadcast. During the live broadcast, she went to a very famous art gallery. I was curious at that time, so I went to the art gallery door to take a look. Guess what?
“That Xiao Hui was really thick-skinned. She said that her work would definitely appear in that art gallery.
“Although I don’t know much about the world of painting and calligraphy, I’ve heard that the art gallery is very famous in the capital. The paintings inside are all produced by masters.”
Chu Luo nodded and commented, “Some people just can’t see their own limits.”
“That’s right.”
The two of them walked out of the office building as they spoke. Yu Tong asked her, “President, where are you going now?”
“To the School of Engineering.”
“Then wait for me. I can take the same path as you. I’ll ride a bike.”
“Okay.”
Yu Tong rode her bike and the two of them moved towards the School of Engineering.
As Yu Tong rode her bike, she gossiped with Chu Luo about what had happened at Imperial University recently.
As they spoke, they talked about a strange thing
“Sister Chu, have you heard? Something strange has been happening in the forest in the north recently.”
“What strange thing?” “It’s said that there are always cries coming from inside during broad daylight.” When Chu Luo heard this, a strange feeling suddenly surged in her heart. She narrowed her eyes and asked, “Has anyone seen who cried in the forest?” “No. Those cries were too terrifying. No one dared to go in and take a look.”
Chu Luo turned on the skateboard.
“Hey, President, where are you going?” “To take a look at the forest over there.”
Yu Tong quickly followed. “President, don’t go. That was a few days ago. The school’s security guards went in to take a look yesterday.”
Chu Luo stopped in her tracks and narrowed her eyes at her in dissatisfaction.
Yu Tong smiled at her fawningly. “Actually, what I wanted to say was that the school’s security guards didn’t see anything after entering, so I found it a little strange… Hey, President, why are you still walking over there?”
“Since they didn’t see anyone, it must be strange. I’ll take a look.”
Yu Tong hesitated for a moment and quickly followed her.
The two of them arrived at the edge of the forest. It was quiet inside, and there was no one.
Yu Tong followed behind Chu Luo and craned her neck to look into the forest. “Ever since that kind of crying was heard a few days ago, no one has come here to revise.”
The forest was quiet. During the exam week, many students chose to come here to revise. After Chu Luo sensed the situation inside, she said to Yu Tong, “Stand here. I’ll go in and take a look.”
Yu Tong’s nerves tensed up. “President, is there something inside?”
“I don’t know. Just don’t follow me.”
After saying that, Chu Luo strode into the forest.
Yu Tong stared at her back. After a few seconds, she suddenly raised her hand to rub her eyes and let out a strange “Eh?”.
“What’s going on? Why did the president suddenly disappear?”
She thought of something and quickly ran to a tree to break a finger-thick branch. She held it in her hand and walked into the forest warily.
Chu Luo knew that someone had cast a barrier here the moment she walked in.
Moreover, the barrier was specially prepared for her.
There was the kind of crying Yu Tong had said inside the barrier.
Chu Luo looked around and smiled. “You really spent a lot of money to lure me here.”
After saying this, she waved her hand and actually broke this barrier.
After the barrier was broken, she threw out a talisman that quickly flew to the side.
Soon, the sound of something heavy falling to the ground came from the other side.
Then, Yu Tong shouted, “Who are you people? Don’t come over, or I won’t be polite to you.”
Then, there was the sound of fighting.
Chu Luo picked up a few small stones from the ground and walked towards the source of the sound.
Soon, she saw a few people surrounding Yu Tong
Yu Tong was holding a branch.
However, the branch in her hand was quickly cut off by a dagger in someone’s hand.
Yu Tong looked at the small branch in her hand and was stunned.
Just as she was stunned, a dagger stabbed towards her neck.
The strong sense of crisis made her instinctively shrink her neck.
After a few swooshes by her ear, the dagger stopped a few centimeters away from Yu Tong’s neck. The others also stopped moving.
Yu Tong broke out in cold sweat because of the dagger that was very close to her neck. She quickly ran towards Chu Luo and asked with trembling lips, “President, these people actually want to kill me. Do you know who they
are?”
Chu Luo looked at her and asked, “Who told you this happened here?”
“A lot of people were talking about it. I even heard it this morning.”
Chu Luo immediately understood. Someone deliberately wanted to use Yu Tong to get her here, and their goal was to use that array to catch her.
If they couldn’t catch her, they would use Yu Tong to threaten her.
After thinking this through, Chu Luo sneered.
These people were really persistent.
After she sensed where the talisman went, she said to Yu Tong, “Leave this place first.”
“What about you?”
Yu Tong said nervously and worriedly,
“President, call CEO Li or the Sun family and get them to send someone over. It’s not safe for you to be alone… If I knew that this was deliberately set up, I wouldn’t have told you about this gossip.”
“It’s fine,” Chu Luo said. “You can leave. I’ll handle things here.”
“But…”
Chu Luo suddenly snapped her fingers at Yu Tong. Yu Tong froze and obediently nodded at her in the next second. She turned around and left.
Chu Luo quietly cast some magic on Yu Tong. After watching her leave, she walked into the forest. She walked around the woods for a few minutes when she suddenly heard footsteps behind her.
Chu Luo stopped and looked at Yu Tong, who was walking over, and narrowed her eyes.
Yu Tong said, “President, I’m still worried about you.”
Chu Luo nodded and said to her, “Since you’re here, let’s play a game with those people.” “What game?”
“Stand here as bait. I’ll go lure those people out.”
“Ah…”
Yu Tong was surprised that Chu Luo would say that. “President, you’re joking with me, right?”
Chu Luo’s expression turned cold. “You were the one who joked with me first.”
With that, she flicked a pill in her hand.
Yu Tong’s figure flashed and she seemed to have dodged the pill. However, in the next second, she suddenly covered her face and moaned sadly, “Ooh…”
Chu Luo walked up to her and looked down at her. She said firmly, “You’re from an assassin organization.”
The woman’s body trembled. In the next second, a few silver needles quickly appeared in her hand and shot at Chu Luo at lightning speed.
Chu Luo didn’t move. A barrier quickly appeared in front of her.
After a few crisp sounds, the silver needles were all flicked back.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
“Ooh…”
Seeing the woman cover her chest, Chu Luo smiled and asked, “How does it feel to be shot by your own silver needles?”
The woman’s body trembled slightly.
She hadn’t expected Chu Luo to be so capable. As a top 20 assassin in the world, she actually fell into the hands of a girl who didn’t look lethal at all today.
While she was in disbelief, she suddenly remembered that someone had told her not to be careless.
The woman suddenly regretted underestimating the enemy. “Tell me, where is your companion?”
The woman’s body trembled and she closed her lips, prepared not to say anything.
“Ha!”
Chu Luo sneered and snapped her fingers at her. Then, she took out her phone and dialed a number. Soon, someone called out ‘Sister’ from the other end.
Chu Luo turned on the speaker and said calmly, “I caught someone from an assassination organization here.”
“What!”
The other party exploded.
“Sister, control him first. I’ll be right there. F*ck! Another fish escaped the net!”
