Chapter 97: Where Did Luosha Attack Last Night?

~7 min read 1,393 words

After the last cleanup, there was actually nothing particularly unusual appearing in the Zhuangyuan.

Bureau Chief Zhang finally breathed a sigh of relief. This book is first published on the Tian Tian Kan Novel website, ttk. tw, waiting for you to read, providing you with an error-free and non-disordered reading experience.

"Chairman Lu, it seems there are no ghosts in your home."

"Since I have proven myself, Bureau Chief Zhang also needs to prove himself."

Lu Chen smiled and raised his teacup toward Bureau Chief Zhang.

"Tomorrow, the Channel Company will follow the requirements and hand over 100 companies to you."

Bureau Chief Zhang raised his cup and clinked it with Lu Chen's.

Lu Chen chatted with Bureau Chief Zhang for a while longer, had a meal, and left a team of personnel on the perimeter.

Bureau Chief Zhang then withdrew.

The study was exceptionally quiet at night, and Lu Chen stood by the window for a rare moment, looking at the busy Victoria Harbour in the distance.

"Bang, bang, bang."

A light knock on the door interrupted Lu Chen's deep thoughts.

"Sir, everything has been taken care of."

Butler Wang stood at the study door, bowing slightly.

Lu Chen nodded slightly, turned on the room lights, sat in the main seat, pointed to the seat beside him, and tossed over a 555 cigarette.

"Did the big shots have any particular reaction?"

Lu Chen then asked in a soft voice.

"Elder Chen was a bit hesitant, Elder Wang seemed not very happy, and the other big shots accepted it readily; those two didn't refuse, though."

After recalling for a moment, Butler Wang began to report.

Lu Chen nodded slightly, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest.

After a long while, he spoke.

"Alright, do this: if Elder Wang and Elder Chen arrive early tomorrow, then talk to them separately. If they arrive at the normal time, then cancel this segment."

After a few seconds, Lu Chen asked again.

"Has Professor Li been notified?"

"Professor Li clearly stated that he will arrive early tomorrow."

Butler Wang spoke directly.

Lu Chen nodded slightly, waved his hand, and opened the document he had written before Bureau Chief Zhang arrived that afternoon.

He drew a light circle around the names of Elder Chen and Elder Wang, moving them to the other side.

He opened a new document and began to write.

It was not until late at night that Lu Chen closed the document, feeling somewhat exhausted.

He went back to his room to sleep, but just as Lu Chen was about to fall asleep, a faint gunshot sound came from far away from the Zhuangyuan.

Lu Chen ignored it, just lying on the bed with his eyes open; after a while, he drifted into dreamland.

Early in the morning, just as the sky was barely bright, Lu Chen was already dragged up by Butler Wang to get ready.

He was still in a daze when he was already sitting in a car driving toward another Zhuangyuan.

Lu Chen ate a quick bite in the car and smoked two cigarettes before he felt a bit more awake.

As they passed the entrance of Luochas Manor, Elder Hou waved his hand.

Lu Chen was nudged by Butler Wang, and only then did he truly wake up.

"Miss Luosha invites you to dine together."

Lu Chen nodded slightly, yawned, and straightened his suit.

By the time he got out of the car, his energy had already recovered.

Although he still looked a bit tired, his thinking was no longer sluggish.

"Sorry for the trouble, Elder Hou."

Elder Hou nodded slightly, reached out to guide Lu Chen, and whispered.

"The Miss is also feeling sleepy right now, please take it easy."

After speaking, Elder Hou also took a deep breath, and his footsteps were not quite as unsteady.

"Chairman Lu, I am old; I can't stay up late like you young people."

"You are still far from old; without your guidance, both I and Miss Luosha would easily make mistakes."

Although Lu Chen was exhausted, he still offered a compliment in a somewhat hoarse voice.

Elder Hou looked deeply at Lu Chen, led him to the dining room, and did not go in.

As soon as Lu Chen entered the dining room, Luosha waved her hand and said somewhat listlessly.

"I won't entertain you; there is coffee in this pot, pour it yourself if you want to drink."

After gulping down two cups of coffee, Lu Chen finally felt a little better.

Only then did he look at Luosha, who was sitting there gnawing on bread.

"I met with Bureau Chief Zhang yesterday."

Luosha glanced at Lu Chen, continued gnawing on her bread, and nodded slightly.

"Bureau Chief Zhang can provide 100 companies to hold the funds, as well as provide one security company and 100 identification documents."

Lu Chen didn't waste words and spoke directly.

"At that time, I will need you to have a talk with him after the matter is concluded."

"Mm, Elder Hou has already been sent to handle Bureau Chief Zhang's affairs, and by the way, invitations have also been sent to them."

Luosha drank a sip of coffee before speaking.

The hoarse voice was even more so than Lu Chen's, though it seemed to be slowly recovering.

After a few seconds, Luosha spoke again.

"Last night, Saiyang attacked a residential house, and Bureau Chief Zhang called me about it."

"No wonder I heard gunshots before I went to sleep."

Lu Chen nodded slightly and let out a yawn.

"How was the matter handled?"

"They missed their target and a team was surrounded; if I hadn't coordinated the pursuit, I wouldn't have had to stay up so late."

Luosha rolled her eyes at Lu Chen, her tone seemingly carrying a hint of complaint.

"With great power comes great responsibility, after all."

Lu Chen shrugged his shoulders, swallowed the last piece of bread, and casually refilled Luosha's coffee cup.

"Do you want to take a look at the proposal I wrote last night? This matter involves you as well."

Lu Chen paused, then continued.

"Yesterday, Steward Wang saw that the expressions of Elder Chen and Elder Wang were not very good..."

Lu Chen gave Luosha a deep look.

"Those two old geezers are always the most shortsighted."

Luosha curled her lips in disdain.

She stood up and stretched.

"I won't look at the document; I'm going back to change my clothes. Do you want to come over and help me put them on?"

"I'll head to the venue first to prepare, and I'll come over to look at the document in a bit."

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, a bitter smile appearing on his face, and he did not respond to Luosha's "invitation."

Instead, he stood up and walked out of the dining room with Luosha.

"I left your part in this plan blank; I'm not sure to what extent you can manage it, so we'll adjust it at any time."

"Fine."

Luosha gave Lu Chen a deep look and went straight back into the bedroom.

Lu Chen returned to the Zhuangyuan and tidied up briefly.

Although he wanted to collapse and go back to sleep, reality did not allow him to do so.

After a simple preparation, Lu Chen sat in the gatehouse, holding a cup of hot coffee and a pack of 555s.

"Master, it is 5 minutes until the appointed time with Elder Li."

Steward Wang's voice remained steady, though it carried a slight trace of fatigue.

Lu Chen raised his hand to check his watch; it was 7:00 AM.

This is just too...

Lu Chen gave a bitter smile, downed the coffee in his hand, and straightened his suit.

Only then did he exit the gatehouse.

He stood straight at the entrance of the Zhuangyuan.

Watching the Buick that was already vaguely visible.

He frowned slightly.

"Uncle Li, why are you driving yourself? It truly makes this junior feel ashamed."

Seeing Professor Li get out of the car, Lu Chen hurried forward a few steps and opened the car door himself.

Professor Li patted Lu Chen on the shoulder.

"You kid are up early enough; since we agreed on this time, I was afraid you wouldn't be able to get up."

"Please."

Lu Chen nodded slightly and gestured with his hand.
