BXBX NOVEL Chapter 140 - Tell Me, Who Exactly Are You?
Chapter 140: Tell Me, Who Exactly Are You?
Early in the morning, as was their habit, people turned on the television or browsed the Internet.
They then found out that two major things had happened last night.
Firstly, there was a major explosion in Earl Clay’s castle.
Then at midnight, the entire Silicon Valley had a blackout for about 25 minutes. Blazing Glory’s skyscraper extravagantly displayed an entire sea of stars.
Everyone who saw that scene was shocked and would never forget it.
Instantly, the comments online flew everywhere.
“No way. There are so many guards in Earl Clay’s house. How could there be an explosion?”
“Didn’t Earl Clay’s family hold a banquet last night? So many nobles and big bosses went there. Did something happen to all of them?”
“I saw on the news that Earl Clay and his second son were killed on the spot. The eldest son was seriously injured and had fainted. As for the third son… I heard from reliable sources that Prince Arlan’s leg was blown up!”
…
When this news was released, the netizens were instantly excited.
“Did that bomb have eyes? It actually blew up Prince Arlan’s leg.”
“Maybe Prince Arlan offended a lady and was taken revenge on.”
However, not long later…
“Eh? That message was taken down.”
“He’s the Queen’s godson, after all. It wouldn’t be good if word of this got out!”
“Haha! Luckily, I saw it.”
“Even if discussions aren’t allowed on the Internet, how can they stop people from discussing it in private?”
“That’s not the most important thing. I heard that the CEO of the Blazing Glory Corporation went to Earl Clay’s house last night as well. I heard that no one saw him come out after that.”
“What?! The CEO of the Blazing Glory Corporation didn’t get blown up too, did he?”
“How is that possible? Yesterday, the skyscraper of the Blazing Glory Corporation displayed an interstellar image for more than 20 minutes. If something had really happened to the president of the Blazing Glory Corporation, there wouldn’t be such a huge commotion in the company.”
“Blazing Glory is really generous. Not to mention how much it costs to make the entire Silicon Valley have a blackout for so long, it’s also very difficult to make those companies blackout at the same time, right?”
“That’s right. I’m really curious about how the Blazing Glory Corporation did it.”
“The image of the entire outer wall of the skyscraper belonging to the Blazing Glory Corporation was incredible. I remember that the skyscraper only displayed such a scene when the Blazing Glory Corporation moved in.”
“The Blazing Glory Corporation’s building seems to have 99 floors. Who is so capable as to create an image in the entire building?”
“That’s why it’s shocking. I’ve been watching the video since I found out about this.”
“Me too. I’ve already watched it ten times.”
“I’ve watched it 15 times and suddenly realized that the image displayed was very familiar.”
“Don’t you think it’s an Interstellar Map of ‘Battle of Lightyears’?”
“Right, they’re too alike!”
“Why did the Blazing Glory Corporation release the ‘Battle of Lightyears’ Interstellar Map for more than 20 minutes?”
“To advertise, perhaps. The moment this scene was released, all the major online platforms went crazy. It’s equivalent to getting to advertise worldwide.”
“‘Battle of Lightyears’ has long been famous worldwide. There’s no way that Blazing Glory would do something so unnecessary, right?”
“Could it be that the outer wall of the skyscraper is being prepared to take on other companies to advertise on it? You have to know, if you advertise on a skyscraper, it’s equivalent to advertising throughout the world.”
“It’s possible.”
…
The manager of the Blazing Glory customer service department, who had received a lot of advertisement offers early in the morning, was scratching his head in Secretary Tan’s office.
“Secretary Tan, if this continues, the hundreds of phones in the customer service department are going to explode.”
Secretary Tan pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and said calmly, “Take down the messages from all the calls. I will ask Master for instructions regarding this matter.”
“Why don’t you ask Master for instructions immediately? If Master agrees, we can get the budget department to calculate how much the advertisement will cost.”
“Do you think Master would be interested in that little bit of money?”
“…”
The manager of the customer service department roared in his heart:?‘To be able to advertise on the outer wall of the Blazing Glory Skyscraper, a conservative estimate would be a few hundred million yuan. You call that a little bit of money?!!!’
…
Never mind what the outside world thought. No one answered when Tang Zhiyun and the others, who had slept late last night and woke up late the next day, knocked on the door of Chu Luo’s suite at ten o’clock.
The five of them asked the housekeeper.
The housekeeper shook her head and said, “When I went in to clean the living room this morning, Miss Chu didn’t come out.”
Tang Zhiyun asked, “What about the other man living inside?”
The housekeeper continued to shake her head. “I didn’t see him.”
Wang Mingtao said casually, “Sister Chu must still be sleeping. Brother Chu might have already left. Let’s not worry about her and go in to play games. Sister Chu will naturally come out when she wakes up.”
They thought about it and walked in.
During lunch, they still didn’t see Chu Luo come out.
Tang Zhiyun was a little worried. “Why don’t we ask the housekeeper to knock on the door?”
Everyone agreed.
Tang Zhiyun called the housekeeper to knock on the door.
However, after she’d been knocking on the door for a long time, no one answered.
“Could it be that Sister Chu went out with Brother Chu?”
“It’s possible. Why don’t we give her a call? The semi-finals are tomorrow. I wonder how she’s doing with memorizing the Interstellar Map?”
“Go ahead.”
Tang Zhiyun took out his phone and dialed Chu Luo’s number.
The call ended automatically.
The five boys looked at each other with worried expressions.
“Why don’t we wait for a while? Maybe Junior will come back?”
…
After Chu Luo learned the magic in that book, she directly asked Phoenix to teleport her to the hotel room.
Looking at Li Yan, who was frowning after falling asleep, having had his sleeping acupoint tapped, Chu Luo placed a hand over his injured area.
Soft light flashed.
Before long, the black aura emanating from Li Yan’s wound slowly scabbed over. In less than five minutes, the wound on his arm was healed.
Only then did Chu Luo undo Li Yan’s sleeping acupoint.
Before Li Yan could open his eyes, he grabbed Chu Luo’s wrist and twisted it.
As the world spun, Chu Luo was pressed down.
“Uh…”
Only then did Li Yan open his eyes.
Chu Luo glared at him angrily. “What are you doing?”
“Sorry, it was an instinctive reaction.”
Although Li Yan said that, he didn’t let go of her immediately.
Chu Luo pushed him. “If you don’t get up, I won’t be polite to you.”
Li Yan looked down at her rosy cheeks and his gaze slowly moved to her lips.
His Adam’s apple bobbed unconsciously.
In a hoarse voice, he asked, “How do you want to be impolite to me?”
After saying that, he leaned his head on her shoulder. While she was struggling, he grabbed her waist and said in a cold voice, “I was struck by a magic sword. I’m weak all over.”
Chu Luo’s body stiffened. She held her face in and told him, “I’ve neutralized the magic.”
Li Yan then realized that he couldn’t feel anything on his arm.
He raised his arm to take a look and realized that he couldn’t even find the wound.
This little thing actually had such ability!
“Tell me, how did you undo it?”
“I learned magic.”
After saying that, Chu Luo continued to push him.
Li Yan held her petite hands and threatened in a low voice, “If you move again, I won’t be polite to you.”
“What do you want?” Chu Luo widened her eyes and looked at him like he was an ingrate. “I saved you!”
“I want to…” Li Yan asked in a low and hoarse voice by her ear, “I want to know who exactly you are.
“You can’t be the real Chu Luo. The real Chu Luo doesn’t have your abilities.”
When Chu Luo heard this, her eyes darted around. She was about to speak…
“Think before you speak. Otherwise…”
As Li Yan spoke, his gaze landed on her lips.
Chu Luo’s face turned red as she struggled.
However, she immediately felt that something was wrong with him.
“You… you… you big baddie!”
“Tell me.”
Chu Luo glared at him, wondering if there was any poison on her that would stop him from having designs on her.
Li Yan immediately read her mind and lowered his head to kiss her.
“Ooh…”
…
After a while.
“Are you going to tell me or not? If not, we can continue. It just so happens that you saved me. There’s nothing I can do to repay you, so I can only…”
“No…” Chu Luo recovered from her daze and hurriedly shook her head. Her face was so red that it seemed like blood could drip from it. “I’ll tell you when you get up.”
“No, you first.”
Li Yan obviously didn’t believe her and planned to “force a confession out of her.”
His palm was on her face, moving down.
Chu Luo’s body trembled and she wanted to move away.
At this moment, Li Yan asked in a coaxing tone, “I know someone in the empire who has the ability to reincarnate into a different body. You’re definitely not Chu Luo… Tell me, who are you?”
Chu Luo paused. She didn’t expect him to know about this.
Her gaze finally met Li Yan’s. At this moment, it was as if there was a magnet in his eyes that could suck people in.
She bit her lip, thinking that since he already knew so much, there was no point in denying it anymore. She nodded. “Yes, I’m not her.”
“Then who are you?”
Chu Luo frowned.
“You can’t tell me?” Li Yan stared at her. “Or you don’t want to tell me?”
“I don’t want to.” After saying that, Chu Luo turned her face to the other side.
Li Yan looked at the stubborn little thing and really wanted to make her cry.
However…
In the end, he still let go of her.
The moment Chu Luo regained her freedom, she jumped up and ran out of the door.
Li Yan looked at the closed door and his lips curled into a delighted smile.
He muttered, “Little thing, there’s still time.”
After Chu Luo jumped out of the bedroom, she didn’t have time to heave a sigh of relief. She looked up and saw five pairs of eyes staring at her from the computer.
Chu Luo: “…”
