Chapter 123: Was Luosha Almost Kidnapped?

"What's wrong?"

Lu Chen took two puffs of his Cigar, and a call from Luosha came in.

"Miss me?"

"There was a large-scale brawl at Nitan yesterday, you're aware of that, right?"

Although there seemed to be a hint of allure in Luosha's cold voice.

But Lu Chen didn't pay it any mind, instead asking a question directly.

"Mm, Old Hou went to handle it yesterday and narrowed the scope. Don't worry, it won't affect your construction."

Luosha paused for a moment before speaking softly.

"Why, did you go to inspect the construction site yesterday?"

"Mm, I was on-site. If I hadn't left early, I'm afraid I would have been dragged into it. I met with Feizai today, and he said Old Zhao's forces have been infiltrated. Did you know that?"

Lu Chen gave a quick explanation and waited for Luosha's reply.

"Yamaguchi-gumi."

Luosha's tone remained flat, but Lu Chen seemed to hear a hint of iron-bloodedness.

"They will disappear from Xianggang."

"You should increase your security."

After several seconds passed, Lu Chen spoke softly.

"Foreigners don't reason with us. You need to protect yourself."

"I know, they wouldn't dare act recklessly."

There was a hint of confidence in Luosha's cold voice.

"If they don't follow the rules, they know the consequences themselves."

"As long as you have a handle on it."

Lu Chen spoke lightly, and after chatting for a while longer, he hung up the phone.

But after putting down the phone, Lu Chen still felt a bit uneasy.

"Chen Mo, go to the Saimachang and safely escort Miss Luosha back to the Zhuangyuan. Take more brothers with you, but don't make it obvious."

Lu Chen tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest and finally sighed.

He called Chen Mo over and gave a few soft instructions.

The security capabilities at the Saimachang were truly too poor; if there weren't enough men, I'm afraid...

If something were to happen to her, every line of business Lu Chen had would come to a standstill.

Sigh, the risk-resistance capacity is still too poor. However, once Li Xuanhua's layout is complete and Nitan is built, these constraints will end.

"Understood."

Chen Mo nodded, a hint of hesitation appearing on his face, and it took several seconds before he spoke.

"If a battle breaks out at the Saimachang, the impact would be too great..."

"Don't worry about that. Miss Luosha will handle it afterward. You just focus on protecting her and handing her over to Old Hou in one piece. If there's a problem at the Zhuangyuan, bring her back here."

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, and after a few seconds, he spoke softly.

"If anything happens, I'm here. Go."

Chen Mo nodded slightly and turned to leave the study.

Lu Chen frowned, silently watching Chen Mo lead the motorcade away from the Zhuangyuan.

After a long while, he sighed softly.

An eventful autumn!

"Bang, bang, bang."

"Sir, everything has been arranged. Old Sun has invited you to meet at his Zhuangyuan tomorrow."

Manager Wang knocked lightly on the door, walked in, bowed slightly, and spoke softly.

"When I saw Old Hou, he was quite busy."

"Are there any other activities tomorrow besides Old Sun?"

Lu Chen nodded slightly, tossed a pack of 555s to Manager Wang, and spoke softly.

"Besides meeting Old Sun tomorrow, there is an invitation from the textile industry, but it conflicts with the meeting with Old Sun."

Manager Wang spoke softly.

"Since it conflicts, let Manager Zhao go."

Lu Chen tapped the armrest lightly and gave the instruction.

Then he pulled out the printed novel and began to read.

It wasn't until Chen Mo returned that Lu Chen put the novel away.

"Boss, Miss Luosha is here."

Chen Mo stood beside Lu Chen and said in a low voice.

"Our men discovered someone following Miss Luosha, and we've already caught a tongue."

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, nodded slightly, stood up, and straightened his suit.

He walked out of the study first.

"Why did she come over?"

Lu Chen asked in a low voice in the hallway.

"She said she hadn't been here before and wanted to come by for a look."

Chen Mo was stunned for a moment and spoke softly.

There was a hint of confusion in the tone.

Lu Chen paused for a moment, nodded slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.

As soon as he went downstairs, he saw Luosha sitting in the guest seat, smoking a lady's cigarette.

"I am truly sorry."

Lu Chen walked forward, shook hands lightly with Luosha, and then sat down in the main seat.

Coffee, a lady's cigarette, and even the snacks that Luosha preferred were already laid out on the coffee table.

Lu Chen pulled out a 555, lit it, and then spoke softly.

"There isn't much to see in my Zhuangyuan; home is the same as the office."

"I can tell, you have no life."

Luosha nodded slightly, took a relaxed sip of coffee, and crossed her legs.

"Why did you call me several times in a row today? You made it so I couldn't have any fun."

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Luosha's cold voice, and she shot Lu Chen a fierce glare.

"I am truly sorry, I was just a bit too nervous."

A look of embarrassment appeared on Lu Chen's face at the right moment.

"Protecting our strategic assets is also my responsibility."

"Smooth talker. I'm taking that tongue away."

Luosha's voice returned to calm, as if there wasn't a ripple of emotion.

"Their guts are indeed as you said, quite big; I like that."

"However, it's a pity their guts aren't big enough."

A hint of gravity flashed in Luosha's eyes; she took a drag of her cigarette and shrugged her shoulders.

"It was just surveillance. You caught them this time, but they'll send more next time, and you've been dragged into this too. Strengthen the security of the Zhuangyuan."

"Fine, your side is too unstable; security needs to be strengthened."

Lu Chen paused, took several silent drags of his 555, and then spoke softly.

"Since the Yamaguchi-gumi has invaded, then we just fight; we can always fight them off. If you're gone, then everything is gone. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall."

"Got it, got it, you're as troublesome as those old men."

Luosha was stunned for a moment, took several drags of her lady's cigarette, and then waved her hand impatiently.

"Do they really dare to kidnap me, or kill me? Isn't it just that they want to set a trap so they have an excuse?"

"I only got the news from Feizai this afternoon and immediately sent people to pick you up. If you had really been kidnapped..."

A look of lingering fear appeared on Lu Chen's face.

"You don't know what they would do to you. This kind of risk is something not just I, but all the big bosses cannot accept."

"Alright, alright. I heard Laites came by? Are you collaborating with the Neutral Tavern?"

Luosha waved her hand with some helplessness and abruptly changed the subject.

There was a flicker in her eyes, and it was unknown what she was thinking.

But since she was safe and sound here, Lu Chen did not say anything more.

Instead, he sighed softly.

"Data for a drug; the Neutral Tavern will manufacture it."

"What drug?"

A hint of curiosity appeared on Luosha's face.

She looked at Lu Chen with some surprise.
