Let's Squander A Billion First!-Chapter 379 - Heavenly Fortune (21)
Chapter 379: Chapter 379 Heavenly Fortune (21)
“Within half an hour, I want to see Lord Zhao, no problem with that, right?”
Zhou Qiang: “…”
There is… there is a problem!
The only ones he could meet were those around Lord Zhao, the person he called Brother Zhao.
How could he possibly meet Lord Zhao?
However, in the face of the desire to survive, he dared not say it was not possible.
...
Chuzheng found a chair in the warehouse and placed it in front of Chu Wu.
“Sit down.”
Chu Wu obediently sat down.
She bent over to examine the palm print on his face that had been struck.
Her breath sprayed onto his cheek, a cold fragrance assailing the senses.
Chuzheng’s gaze fell on Chu Wu’s enticing lips, and she suddenly leaned close, capturing his lips with hers.
Chu Wu was slightly startled.
There were still people around!
Chuzheng kissed him twice, not too excessively, and then quickly let him go.
She calmly took out a bottle of medicine and sprayed it on his face.
On the other side, Zhou Qiang racked his brains for solutions, completely oblivious to this scene.
The other man still slapping himself naturally wouldn’t have seen Chuzheng kissing him just now.
Chu Wu felt a slight relief deep inside.
But as this feeling subsided, he was overtaken by annoyance.
He was no maiden.
If someone saw, then so be it, what’s there to be embarrassed about.
–
Chuzheng said she wanted to see Lord Zhao within half an hour, but in reality, it took only twenty minutes for Lord Zhao to appear outside.
Zhou Qiang was also surprised.
He hadn’t expected that Lord Zhao would really show up…
Lord Zhao arrived with a few bodyguards, making his slow appearance at the warehouse entrance.
This Lord Zhao was over sixty years old, with a head of white hair, not looking very well, leaning on a cane, yet he possessed quite an imposing aura.
“Lord Zhao… Lord Zhao…” Zhou Qiang immediately ran towards Lord Zhao.
But before he got close, a bodyguard kicked Zhou Qiang down.
Lord Zhao gave Zhou Qiang, who lay on the ground, a gloomy look and tapped his cane on the ground twice: “Can’t even handle a small matter properly.”
“So you’re Chuzheng.”
Chuzheng regarded Lord Zhao dispassionately.
“Came for me, huh?”
Lord Zhao had come too quickly.
Calling her name as soon as he arrived – if it weren’t for her, then whom?
And trying to use the Good Person Card to lure her…
“The girl’s quite discerning,” Lord Zhao revealed a trace of admiration: “In that case, the young lady should come with me.”
“Just because you tell me to come with you, I should?” Where should I put my face!
Lord Zhao’s wrinkles deepened: “A wise person submits to circumstances.”
Chuzheng spoke evenly: “I’m a woman.”
What do heroes or great characters have to do with me?
Lord Zhao’s eyes narrowed slightly, a dangerous gleam flickering in them: “So you’re saying, you won’t come with me?”
Chuzheng didn’t answer.
Just stared at him coldly.
Lord Zhao’s mouth curved into a smile, and he snapped his fingers in the air.
Outside the warehouse, the well-trained bodyguards swiftly blocked the entrance.
Those people had bulging waists – one could tell they were armed.
To deal with a little girl like me, they actually mobilize this many people.
Are they trying to scare me to death?
Lord Zhao: “Then don’t blame me for being impolite…”
Chuzheng decisively interrupted him: “Lead the way.”
[…Miss, what about the dignity you talked about?]
They have guns!
[What’s there to fear from guns; you can easily take them down.] After all, his Miss has an Invincible mode.
Do you want me to take them down?
[No! I didn’t mean that!] King’s Account immediately denied, [I was just curious why you would go with them.]
They have guns!
Chuzheng’s face was serious.
How could I, a frail girl, fight against people with guns?
Naturally, a wise person knows better than to fight against overwhelming odds.
[…] The words of Miss only held for a minute.
Chuzheng’s sudden change of attitude puzzled both Lord Zhao and Chu Wu.
But since Chuzheng was willing to go with him, Lord Zhao thought no more of it.
Chuzheng was certain she couldn’t escape.
Chu Wu took two steps forward, lowering his voice, “Are we really going with them?”
Chu Wu hadn’t expected that this group wasn’t here for him.
“Otherwise, can you beat them?”
“…What do they want to do?”
“Won’t we find out when we go?” Chuzheng said.
Chuzheng wrapped an arm around Chu Wu’s waist, pulling him close, “Don’t be afraid.”
Chu Wu found it both sad and funny internally.
Where was he afraid?
He was only concerned that something unexpected might happen.
“Those two people…” Chuzheng pointed towards Zhou Qiang, “I’ll trouble you to take care of them.”
My Good Person Card was bullied, how can I just let it slide.
Lord Zhao: “???”
Was she talking to him?
Obviously, she was talking to him.
And if he didn’t make a move, she seemed to have no intention of leaving.
Lord Zhao stayed silent for a moment, then signaled someone behind him with his eyes.
Zhou Qiang had been ineffective, and he had betrayed Lord Zhao before, so Lord Zhao couldn’t keep him around.
“Lord Zhao…”
Zhou Qiang’s complexion underwent a drastic change.
“Lord Zhao, I was working for you, you can’t do this to me…”
“Lord Zhao…”
Seeing that the situation was against him, Zhou Qiang scrambled up from the ground, stumbling as he ran towards the warehouse exit.
However, he hadn’t run a few meters before a bodyguard took him down to the ground.
–
Lord Zhao had a car prepared for Chuzheng and Chu Wu.
A partition was set up at the front, leaving only Chuzheng and Chu Wu in the car’s cabin.
Chuzheng had Chu Wu lean on her, “Scared?”
Chu Wu felt cramped, but since Chuzheng showed no intention of letting him up, he could only adjust himself to get a bit more comfortable.
“What do you want to do?”
Chuzheng looked out the window, “Nothing.”
Chu Wu was somewhat skeptical.
She clearly hadn’t planned to go with them…
No matter what Chu Wu asked, Chuzheng maintained a serious and earnest expression as if she ‘didn’t want to do anything’.
Chu Wu realized he wasn’t worried.
All his unease always disappeared without a trace when he was by her side.
With this thought, Chu Wu wrapped his arms around Chuzheng’s waist and held her close.
The car drove for over an hour before stopping.
The door was opened by a bodyguard, Chuzheng stepped out first, then reached back into the car for him.
Chu Wu took her hand and stepped down.
The two didn’t look like they were under duress, but rather, they seemed as leisurely as stars walking down the red carpet.
“Miss Chuzheng and Mr. Chu seem to be very close,” Lord Zhao commented, leaning on his cane and wearing a smile that made him the picture of a kindly old man.
“So?” Chuzheng asked earnestly.
Lord Zhao: “…”
I was just making polite conversation.
Lord Zhao seemed to sigh, “Quite enviable.”
“Hmm.”
Chuzheng nodded as if it were only natural.
Envy won’t get you anything.

The Good Person Card is mine!
Lord Zhao: “…”
Lord Zhao had dealt with all kinds of evil demons and monsters.
He had never met someone like Chuzheng before.
Lord Zhao took a deep breath and made a beckoning gesture.
Chuzheng didn’t hold back, leading Chu Wu with a swagger right up to Lord Zhao, embodying the air of a boss to such an extent that Lord Zhao seemed like a mere follower.
Lord Zhao: “…”
How many years had he been a big shot, and how long had it been since anyone treated him this way?
When one has been at the top for too long, it’s unsettling for someone to not go along with them.
Lord Zhao felt the same way, his gaze at Chuzheng growing slightly dark.
But he quickly suppressed his emotions.
“Miss Chuzheng isn’t curious why I asked you to come here?”
“I’ll find out eventually.”
