Chapter 393 - Missing
Chapter 393: Missing
After Anya left, Chu Luo went to the laboratory behind.
At this moment, their experiment was already at a critical juncture. They only needed to wait for the herb that could cover the smell to be sent over before they could carry out further experiments.
Chu Luo thought for a while and called Wu Yiyao to ask her to help call Professor Wu from the technology building to video-call her.
She planned to discuss with Professor Wu where to place the medicine in the gaming capsule to stimulate brainwaves.
The discussion lasted until noon.
Chu Luo turned off the video and logged into Imperial University’s BBS on a whim.
In the past two days, there had been a lot of discussion about the Student Union from various universities who had come to Imperial University for an exchange.
“The Student Union representatives who came this time are all very good-looking. I really suspect that they did it on purpose.”
“Heavens, heavens, heavens. Hannah is so noble and elegant. Andre is so cool. Adonis is simply a handsome man who walked out of an oil painting. Also, Abel is simply the little wolfhound in my heart…”
“Stop being infatuated. No matter how good-looking they are, they’re not as handsome as our president, okay? Not to mention Chu Luo’s husband.”
“The girls who came this time are so beautiful. I think they did it on purpose too.”
“Whether they’re good-looking or not is secondary. This time, I feel that the Student Union’s Ministers are a little pitiful. After those people came, none of them used the International Common Language. I suspect that the ministers are secretly learning the languages of the various countries.”
“I don’t believe that these people didn’t do it on purpose. They must have wanted to meet Chu Luo, but who knew that Chu Luo suddenly stopped coming to school?”
“I don’t know why Chu Luo didn’t come to school. I feel like after not seeing her gorgeous face for a day, I’m tired of studying.”
“Without her stimulation every day, I feel bored learning too. I wonder when Goddess will come to school?”
…
Chu Luo browsed for a while before logging out of BBS, but she received a message from Nangong Yi.
Nangong Yi: “Junior, you probably logged into BBS just now. Everyone on it misses you.”
Since the Student Union could find the BBS log, Chu Luo didn’t doubt that Nangong Yi would ask this. She quickly typed: “Then let them continue missing me.”
Nangong Yi: “Hahaha!”
Nangong Yi: “The Student Union members who came this year deliberately spoke their own language, making our Student Union ministers very busy.”
Chu Luo: “Isn’t that good? This can help them learn a few foreign languages quickly.”
Nangong Yi: “Other than that, the Student Union from Germany has challenged our Student Union today.”
Chu Luo: “Challenge what?”
Nangong Yi: “In terms of machinery. There was an international robotics competition in the capital a few days ago. Germany won first place in the semi-finals, and our empire only barely managed to squeeze into the finals.”
Chu Luo: “Is Imperial University afraid of accepting the challenge?”
Nangong Yi: “The other countries aren’t afraid, but they’re challenging the champion in the semi-finals.”
Chu Luo: “Who’s the person leading the team at Imperial University this time?”
Nangong Yi: “Teacher Tu.”
When Chu Luo saw this name, she pursed her lips and quickly typed: “Then let them win.”
Nangong Yi: “Junior, are you still holding a grudge?”
Chu Luo: “I’ve already made it so obvious. Can’t you tell?”
Nangong Yi: “…”
Chu Luo: “But as a candidate for the president of the Student Union, I can’t watch the Student Union lose face. How about this? I’ll get Roundy to meet that person’s robot tomorrow.”
Nangong Yi: “Okay.”
Looking at the swift reply, Chu Luo could tell that this person had been waiting for her to say this.
Chu Luo gave him a “hmph” emoticon and exited the message function before putting away her phone.
In the afternoon, Anya sent a message to Chu Luo saying that her father had sent someone to the empire to pick up her brother.
Chu Luo didn’t mind and continued to do experiments with Professor Tang and the others.
Their experiment was already in the final stage. It was as if Professor Tang and Cao Dongliang had been injected with chicken blood. Usually, they returned to the villa at around nine at night to rest. Tonight, both of them expressed their intention to continue their experiment.
Elder Hu didn’t object. He only smiled and said, “If I were ten years younger, I would have stayed too. Sigh… Time waits for no man.”
After saying that, he turned to Chu Luo and asked, “Little Chu, do you want to stay for a few more hours too?”
Chu Luo shook her head. “No, I have something on.”
Elder Hu scolded jokingly, “Child, every time you say that you have something to do, you can make a huge pile of powerful herbs.”
Chu Luo smiled too, but she didn’t tell Elder Hu that she wasn’t a medicine refiner.
The two of them packed up and walked out of the villa.
As soon as she walked out of the door, she saw a tall figure walking in under the lights of the villa.
When Chu Luo saw who it was, she called out sweetly, “Yan.”
Li Yan strode up to her and nodded at Elder Hu.
Elder Hu said, “Since someone is here to pick you up, I’ll leave first.”
“Good night, Grandpa Hu.”
“Good night.”
After Elder Hu left with his hands behind his back, Chu Luo looked at Li Yan. Seeing his frown, she asked, “Have your men found Qin Ming?”
“Mm.”
“Is he back?”
“No. He continued chasing after Duanmu Rui.”
“Duanmu Rui really went to the northwest?”
“Yes.”
“I didn’t expect Qin Ming to be so persistent.”
Li Yan was silent for a while before saying, “Once he’s determined on something, he must do it.”
Chu Luo was a little curious.
Li Yan said, “Qin Ming is from the Qin family in G City. The Qin family is the largest bodyguard company in the empire. I saved him five years ago and he promised to be my bodyguard for ten years.”
Chu Luo was a little surprised.
After a while, she suddenly reacted. “So Qin Ming is certain about Anya.”
“I think so.”
Chu Luo had a complicated mood and really didn’t know what to say. She shut her mouth.
Seeing her reaction, Li Yan held her hand and walked into the villa. “We’ve already arranged for many people to go to the northwest. It won’t be dangerous for him to go there.”
“Mm.”
Chu Luo nodded and thought about telling Anya about this tomorrow.
Early the next morning.
Sure enough, Anya came again.
The moment she arrived, she asked, “Chu, is there news of Blockhead?”
Chu Luo nodded.
Anya heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good. That blockhead was really transformed from a big log. Why did he chase someone so far? Doesn’t he know to get his men to chase after that person?”
Chu Luo glanced at her and repeated Li Yan’s words to her.
Anya was in disbelief.
After a while, she muttered in a complicated tone, “He’s really a blockhead, the kind that has been buried underground for thousands of years!”
When Chu Luo heard her say that, she somehow wanted to laugh, but she restrained herself.
She asked, “What do you plan to do?”
“Hmph! When he comes back, I’ll ask him if he’s willing to be my prince consort. This person is so stubborn. No other woman will fall for him, so I’ll kindly take him in.”
Chu Luo looked at Anya’s tsundere demeanor and deliberately asked, “What if he doesn’t agree?”
“Then I’ll get someone to kidnap him. In any case… I’m very satisfied with his figure.”
Anya said the last sentence very softly.
Chu Luo had good hearing, so she still heard it. She looked at her with a wooden face.
She thought: ‘This woman was still complaining last time, but now she’s satisfied with his figure. She’s too unrestrained.’
Having decided on this matter, Anya felt good both physically and mentally. She said, “I’ll go back to the embassy first. My father’s men are preparing to take my brother away. When the time comes, I have to pretend to go to the hospital with them. You must tell me immediately if you hear any news about Blockhead.”
Chu Luo replied, “Okay.”
After breakfast, Chu Luo called Roundy over and said to him, “Roundy, go to Imperial University this morning. The people from Germany want to compete with our Student Union’s people in robotics. Show them what you’re capable of. No need to go easy on them.”
“Yes, Mistress.”
When Roundy went to school, Chu Luo called Nangong Yi.
After hanging up the phone, seeing that Li Yan hadn’t left, Chu Luo asked strangely, “Yan, you’re not going to the office today.”
“I’ll go in the afternoon. I’ll work at home in the morning.”
Chu Luo nodded and was about to go to the villa at the back when she received a call from Anya.
Anya told her on the phone, “Chu, my brother is missing.”
Chu Luo was a little surprised. “Didn’t you send guards to guard him heavily? Where are those people?”
“The guards are all guarding outside the ward. Previously, they didn’t know that my brother had disappeared.” Speaking up to this point, Anya’s tone was filled with anger. “I’ve already sent people to look for clues and get someone to check the surveillance cameras. This must be done by the Duanmu family. As long as we find evidence, I’ll immediately look for them for an explanation.”
Chu Luo thought for a while and said, “If it’s really the Duanmu family who took your brother away, they definitely won’t leave any evidence behind. You likely won’t be able to find anything.”
Anya was silent for a few seconds, as if agreeing with her. She said, “Then I’ll tell my father about this first.”
Then she hung up.
Chu Luo put away her phone and told Li Yan about this.
Li Yan walked over to get his laptop and sat on the sofa to quickly type on the keyboard.
Chu Luo quickly sat down to take a look.
Li Yan was also checking all the surveillance cameras in that hospital and indeed, he didn’t find anything.
Then, the scene changed to outside the window of the ward where Wales stayed. The surveillance cameras quickly replayed.
Indeed, the surveillance cameras showed that when it was past four in the morning, a few people came in from outside the window and took Wales away.
