Chapter 218: You’re So Fierce, Careful That No One Will Marry You
“Why are you here only now?” Sun Tianhao’s eyes were filled with displeasure, but he heaved a sigh of relief.
Chu Luo glanced at him and couldn’t be bothered to answer. She walked straight to the Inpatient Department.
Sun Tianhao looked at her and opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn’t say anything and merely followed her.
The two of them arrived at the floor where Old Master Sun stayed. Chu Luo went straight to Dean Wang’s office.
Professor Tang and Dean Wang were waiting for her in the office. There were two other people sitting in the office. One was an old man and the other a middle-aged man. Chu Luo could guess who they were.
Dean Wang knew that they had something important to discuss, so he stood up and said, “Take your time. I’ll go to the ward area to take a look.”
With that, he walked over and got Sun Tianhao to leave together with him.
After the door closed, Professor Tang introduced the two men to Chu Luo. “Little Chu, come, let me introduce you. This is Elder Hu, a professor who has retired from the Chinese medicine hospital. This is Professor Cao Dongliang, Professor Cao.”
Chu Luo greeted the two of them, “Hello, Elder Hu. Hello, Professor Cao.”
“Hello, Little Chu.”
When the two of them came, they had heard Professor Tang talk about Chu Luo’s abilities. They had a good impression of her to begin with, and they were also very interested in her suggestion. When they saw her in person, they liked her even more.
Elder Hu said, “Xiao Tang told us about the young lady’s idea. I think that’s a good idea. During the summer break, my grandson watched the ‘Battle of Lightyears’ World Championship every day. I took a few glances at it at that time. My grandson even showed me the comments on the Internet. That young lady [Bai Ling] is quite good. She helped our empire regain our honor.”
When Chu Luo heard this, she pursed her lips and laughed lightly. She said, “Actually, I like to play ‘Battle of Lightyears’ too.”
“Oh? I didn’t expect Little Chu to like playing games too.” Cao Dongliang also smiled and added, “To tell you the truth, during the ‘Battle of Lightyears’ championship, I even made a bet that the ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ team would win. ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ has indeed brought glory to our empire. Many players from the empire won money.”
“Haha, my grandson even secretly borrowed money from me to place a bet. Later on, he won money and even gave me a bonus.”
Chu Luo realized that it was not only Elder Hu’s grandson and Professor Cao but also Professor Tang who had placed a bet.
Everyone talked for a while. Professor Tang looked at the time and stood up. “I’ll take Little Chu to see the patient first. We’ll talk later.”
With that, he led Chu Luo towards the ICU ward.
“When Old Master Sun was transferred to the ICU ward last night, he had a high fever, but it subsided quickly. After that, his body stats weren’t bad.”
When the two of them walked out of the ICU ward, they saw Sun Tianhao and Second Master Sun guarding the door. There were also a few guards standing beside them.
Professor Tang whispered to Chu Luo, “The Sun family waited until this morning before taking turns to look after Old Master. However, Sun Tianhao has been staying here all this time. He even asked several times if you were coming.”
He couldn’t help but sigh. “Although this person is a little arrogant, he’s actually quite a good person. His pride probably held him back from apologizing and thanking you, so he waited at the hospital.”
Chu Luo glanced at Sun Tianhao, who was standing there and looking over, but she didn’t say anything.
After the two of them walked over, they greeted Second Master Sun and entered the ICU ward.
Chu Luo stood in front of the patient and quickly examined him. Professor Tang stood beside her and talked to her about the record data for every hour.
Chu Luo discussed this with Professor Tang after her examination.
“The patient is fine, but he’s getting on in years and will take a long time to recover. It’s best if he stays in this ward for two more days.”
Professor Tang nodded and said, “That’s what we said.”
As the two of them spoke, they walked out of the ICU ward. Second Master Sun and Sun Tianhao walked over at the same time.
Chu Luo nodded at the two of them. “The patient’s various indicators are all fine.”
The two of them heaved a sigh of relief.
Professor Tang and Chu Luo were about to leave when Sun Tianhao called out, “Chu Luo.”
Chu Luo and Professor Tang stopped. Chu Luo turned around and looked at him. “What is it?”
Sun Tianhao put his hands in his pockets and lowered his eyes. After a few seconds, he said, “I’m sorry about yesterday.”
After saying that, he looked up at her.
Chu Luo nodded at him and left with Professor Tang.
Sun Tianhao stood there, unsure if she had accepted his apology or not.
At this moment, Second Master Sun glanced at him and said to him in a serious tone, “Since you were in the wrong, you should have a better attitude when you apologize.”
Sun Tianhao subconsciously stood up straight and nodded at him. “Second Uncle, I understand.”
…
Chu Luo and Professor Tang returned to Dean Wang’s office and discussed with Elder Hu and Cao Dongliang.
Professor Tang said, “Since this is a secret research and development project by Blazing Glory Gaming, we can’t be too high-profile.”
Cao Dongliang agreed. “Moreover, if this kind of medical research is successful, it will definitely be a major breakthrough in medicine. Before the research is successful, I’m all for keeping it a secret.”
Elder Hu nodded in agreement.
After reaching an agreement, they discussed where to conduct the research.
Cao Dongliang said, “I think the military hospital is good. It’s highly confidential and information won’t leak out easily.”
This hospital had a complete secret research base to begin with. Many of the empire’s current confidential medical research were being carried out here. This was the best choice.
However, Professor Tang was a little worried about Chu Luo’s schedule.
“Little Chu doesn’t have time in the day. Will it be too tight for her to come here at night?”
Chu Luo thought for a moment and said, “Since I’m in charge of this mission, I’ll come over in the afternoon.”
“That’s good. We can list the research instruments we need first. I’ll submit an application to the higher-ups.”
“Shouldn’t Blazing Glory Corporation be the one to negotiate with the higher-ups?”
“Indeed. Since we’re conducting the research here, we must negotiate properly.”
After hearing their discussion, Chu Luo thought for a while and said, “I’ll talk to CEO Li about this matter and tell you tomorrow.”
The rest of them agreed.
Chu Luo said goodbye to them and left.
When she walked to the elevator, Sun Tianhao followed her.
This time, he didn’t follow her silently. Instead, he walked to her side and said to her, “I’ll send you back.”
Chu Luo glanced at him, retracted her gaze, and said indifferently, “No need.”
Sun Tianhao clenched his fists. “It’s not safe for you to go back alone.”
Chu Luo glanced at him and asked calmly, “You want to experience my ability again?”
Sun Tianhao was stunned by her words. He said reluctantly, “You’re so fierce. Careful that no one will marry you in the future.”
Chu Luo gave him a “you’re an idiot” look and left.
Sun Tianhao glared at her back and thought: ‘This child is so not adorable!’
Chu Luo returned to her dormitory and told Li Yan about her discussion with Professor Tang and the others.
Li Yan thought for a moment and said, “The medical school is too far away from Imperial University. I’ll arrange for a place for you to conduct the research.”
Since Li Yan had said that, Chu Luo didn’t continue talking about this.
Li Yan said to her, “I have something on tomorrow and can’t video call you.”
Chu Luo looked at him in confusion and asked subconsciously, “What do you have on?”
Li Yan watched her reaction and his lips curled up. “Something very important.”
He then said, “Let’s video call a little longer tonight.”
“But I have to study.”
“It’s okay. I’ll look at you while you study.”
The corners of Chu Luo’s lips curled up before she retracted them. “Alright.”
It wasn’t until Chu Luo went to sleep that the two of them ended the video call.
The next day, when Chu Luo went to the technology building, Li Yan’s bodyguards were already there. The person following her didn’t appear.
However, she met the short-haired girl beside the technology building.
The short-haired girl was holding a book and walking behind a professor.
It was obvious that the two of them were going to the technology building.
Chu Luo didn’t walk over, but the girl suddenly tilted her head and looked over.
Then, she naturally turned around and left.
Chu Luo continued walking towards the special passageway.
The day ended quickly. Chu Luo went to see Old Master Sun’s condition that night and passed on Li Yan’s message to Professor Tang before returning.
She had been video calling Li Yan these past few nights. For some reason, Chu Luo felt like something was missing when she suddenly didn’t video call him tonight.
At eleven o’clock, just as she was about to sleep early, she felt a trace of energy fluctuation.
Chu Luo frowned. “Don’t tell me they sent someone with special abilities over just because Li Yan’s bodyguards are around.”
After saying that, she closed the book, stood up, and walked downstairs.
The energy fluctuation was at Imperial University, but it was in a rather remote area.
Chu Luo thought for a moment and walked out.
There was a small forest on the west side of Imperial University, and next to the forest was Crescent Lake. The forest was privately called Love Slope by students. However, most Imperial University students were straight As students. Even if there were couples, they wouldn’t go there too late at night. Therefore, other than during the weekend, there would basically be no one there.
There was no moonlight tonight and the small forest was dark. Chu Luo used an Invisibility Talisman and swaggered over.
A few people were standing near the lake.
These people formed a semicircle, and in front of them stood a man in a long robe.
At this moment, they were talking.
Someone said, “Li Yan’s bodyguards are too much of a hindrance. Master, you just have to find a way to trap them tonight.”
Long Robe replied, “I’ll set up an array here. When you lure them over, I’ll trap them inside.”
The other person added, “That’s for the best. Sir said that Li Yan’s subordinate probably escaped back to the capital. If that woman refuses to cooperate with us, we are to capture her. Tonight is a good opportunity. Maybe we can lure that person out too. If we can lure that person out and capture her, we’ll definitely be able to get something on Li Yan.”
“There are also people from the other side. Master, trap those people from that side tonight as well. Otherwise, they will definitely come out and foil our plans.”
They discussed for a while and prepared to take action.
Chu Luo smiled and suddenly thought of a good idea. She turned around and walked back.
