Chapter 165: Misunderstanding
As they entered the elevator, Chu Luo said, “Dave is quite skilled.”
“Eh? Why can’t I tell?”
Chu Luo glanced at Xie Minghai and asked Tang Zhiyun, “Do you have Dave’s number?”
“I do.”
“Well, you can call him and tell him which floor to go to.”
Chu Luo’s behavior was a little strange to the boys.
Before dialing the number, Tang Zhiyun asked, “Junior, you don’t seem to like Dave very much.”
“It’s not whether I like him or not. I’m not familiar with that person.” After saying that, Chu Luo took out her phone and swiped through the information for a while before showing them what she had found.
The boys looked over at the same time.
“Eh, this person is actually an RT game company programmer?”
“Why did Dave hide it from us before?”
“He actually said that he started his own business.”
Chu Luo put away her phone and thought for a while. She curled her lips and said, “The biggest possibility for this person to worm his way into being friends with us is to persuade us to join RT.”
If not for the fact that she didn’t feel any malice from him, she definitely wouldn’t have agreed to eat with him.
The boys froze.
In the next second, anger appeared on Xie Minghai’s face. “I thought he really wanted to be friends with us.”
Yu Lei was furious as well. “Why don’t we just let him go back? We only have two goals. Either we start our own business or we enter the Blazing Glory Gaming Company. Since he approached us for a purpose, we should reject him as soon as possible.”
“He’s already here, and he’s also helping us stop the reporters and those gaming fans. We have to treat him to a meal, no matter what.”
The rest of them were unable to make up their minds.
Chu Luo thought for a while and said, “Everyone, you can see what he wants to do later. If he really wants everyone to join RT, just reject him. If he has other motives…”
Chu Luo didn’t finish her sentence. If that person had other motives, she definitely wouldn’t let him off.
The boys agreed and discussed where to eat before Tang Zhiyun called David.
They went to the eighth floor’s western restaurant.
When Dave arrived, his clothes were a little wrinkled and there was a bruise on his chin. It was obvious how crazy the group of reporters and gaming fans had been.
“Dave, are you okay?” Tang Zhiyun asked concernedly.
“It’s fine.” Dave sat down and said, “I thought the reporters and gaming fans guarding our hotel were troublesome enough. I didn’t expect your place to be even more so. I think this won’t do. Why don’t you talk to the ‘Battle of Lightyears’ gaming team and get them to send some bodyguards over?”
“It’s fine. Our…”
Xie Minghai was about to say that there were many bodyguards on their floor when Tang Zhiyun suddenly said on his behalf, “These reporters and gaming fans weren’t like this before. Maybe it’s because Bai Ling is here.”
Dave was a little surprised. “Bai Ling doesn’t live here?”
“She lives with her older brother.”
“So Bai Ling’s brother is also here. It would appear that you have a very good brother.”
Chu Luo’s lips twitched but she didn’t say anything.
After ordering, everyone chatted as they ate.
Dave was enthusiastic and talkative. After the meal, he didn’t talk about anything else except the game and coding.
When they were about to finish eating, Xie Minghai couldn’t help but say, “Mr. Dave is from RT Corporation. Why did you say that you’re an entrepreneur?”
Dave was surprised to hear this. “So you’ve found out about it?”
Then, with a vexed expression, he said, “I’m just worried that you guys will misunderstand because I’m an RT employee. Actually, this isn’t a very confidential matter. The ‘Battle of Lightyears’ gaming team does know about it.”
When the boys heard him say that, they immediately felt relieved. At the same time, they wondered if Chu Luo was being too careful.
Chu Luo looked at Dave but didn’t say anything.
She took out her phone and glanced at the time. It was already past seven. She stood up and said, “I’ll leave first.”
Then, she said to Tang Zhiyun and the others, “You should go up and rest too.”
The guys nodded. “Okay. Be careful when you go down.”
“Why don’t I send Miss Bai down?” Dave stood up as well.
“No need.”
Chu Luo left after saying that.
Looking at the departing figure, Dave asked Tang Zhiyun and the others worriedly, “Aren’t you worried that Bai Ling will be surrounded by those reporters and game fans when she goes down?”
Tang Zhiyun and the other three thought to themselves:?‘If Junior removed her mask when she went down, no one would know that she was Bai Ling.’
However, they didn’t say it out loud.
Tang Zhiyun said, “Her brother must have sent bodyguards to pick her up.”
“I see.” Dave sat down and asked casually, “Bai Ling’s brother must be someone important, huh?”
“It’s alright. I heard that he’s the owner of a company.”
“Did Bai Ling not tell you about him?”
The four boys shook their heads.
“No.”
Dave changed the topic. “Why don’t you tell me how you met Bai Ling? I’m just too curious about her.”
“Erm… Actually, we’re not very familiar with her. We only met her when we came to the US. We used to chat in-game.”
“I see. Looks like she’s really mysterious.”
“Haha…”
Everyone had just started chatting when Dave’s phone rang. He stood up and said, “Sorry, I have to go take this.”
With that, he took his phone and walked out.
There was a place in the restaurant where people could answer their phones.
Dave walked to a window surrounded by potted plants and called back the number that had hung up automatically.
The other party asked, “Have you asked about her?”
Dave said, “No. These people are really tight-lipped.”
Then, he said, “But she’s already left. I’m going to use some special method to make them tell me about her later.”
The other party: “Alright.”
After hanging up, Dave returned to the private room.
…
When Chu Luo returned to Li Yan’s villa, the first thing Abel said to her was, “Miss Chu, Master isn’t back yet.”
Chu Luo was a little surprised, so she asked, “Hasn’t he finished dealing with his business?”
“Erm, I’m not sure.”
Chu Luo glanced at him speechlessly and decided not to mention Li Yan. As she walked into the villa, she asked, “Is Neeson waiting for me in the hall?”
“Yes.”
The two of them walked into the hall one after another, only to see that Neeson was already waiting for her on the sofa.
Chu Luo walked over and nodded at him. “Let’s begin.”
The two of them started teaching and learning, respectively.
It was indeed not easy to create a robot, as Neeson had said. Furthermore, it required actual operation.
After Neeson had finished explaining the principles of production and the materials needed according to Chu Luo’s request, he said, “It’s best if you have the materials. Otherwise, it’s useless even if you learn too much theoretical knowledge.”
Chu Luo agreed and turned to ask Abel, “Are those materials available?”
“If Miss Chu needs them, I’ll send someone to prepare them tomorrow.”
“Alright, get someone to prepare them tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
After answering, he said, “Miss Chu, it’s getting late. You have something to do tomorrow. Why don’t you go and rest for the night?”
It was already eleven o’clock, and it was indeed getting late. Chu Luo said to Neeson, “Neeson, you should go and rest too.”
She stood up and walked upstairs.
At around midnight, Chu Luo suddenly felt a powerful energy fluctuation.
At the same time, Phoenix’s voice rang out in her mind. “Mistress, there is a very strong energy fluctuation coming from the east.”
Chu Luo quickly got out of bed, put on her clothes, and went to Li Yan’s bedroom.
In the small living room of Li Yan’s bedroom, there was a balcony facing the east.
She stood there and looked for a while before muttering, “To the east seems to be the castle where the king of this country lives. To think there’s such a huge energy fluctuation inside. Looks like that person isn’t ordinary.”
“Mistress, should we go take a look?”
“No. The people here use magic. I believe no one’s magic is more powerful than mine.”
She had no idea what kind of magical treasure that magic book was. Even if she didn’t do anything or practice anything, she could feel that she had more magic every day than she had the previous day.
At the thought of this, she extended her hand and pointed downstairs. The lawn turned into a flowerbed.
Chu Luo smelled the fragrance of the flowers and smiled mischievously. “I wonder if the servants, bodyguards, and Abel will be scared to death when they see the changed lawn tomorrow.”
After saying this, she turned around and walked out of the door, intending to continue sleeping.
However, just as she opened Li Yan’s bedroom, she bumped into Abel and Qin Ming, who were walking over quickly.
“…”
Abel immediately looked relieved.
Qin Ming couldn’t help but look at her.
Chu Luo moved her lips. She wanted to explain, but seeing their expressions, she knew that they wouldn’t listen to her explanation. She asked directly, “Why are you in a hurry?”
When he heard this, Qin Ming quickly said, “Miss Chu, the Queen invited the Master to a banquet tonight. Master told me to come and look for you if he doesn’t come out by midnight.”
When Chu Luo heard this, she recalled the powerful energy fluctuation she had felt just now and frowned.
“Do you know which castle Li Yan went to?”
“Yes. The Queen personally sent someone to invite Master today. He had no choice but to go.”
“Do you know where Li Yan is at the castle?”
Qin Ming shook his head with an ugly expression.
“Master only brought one bodyguard in. We lost contact with that bodyguard too.”
