Chapter 29 After Breaking Into the Boss's Room 29 (Updated) Bai Yun also...

029 After breaking into the boss' room

Lu Jiu's sleepiness suddenly disappeared.

Chen Ke told him in vivid detail what happened in the evening.

Luo Yi's parents were at home when they suddenly heard their son's screams outside the door. When they ran out, they saw Luo Yi sitting on the ground with his pants wet, and a watch lying on the ground next to him.

Luo Yi pointed at Lu Qu Ning's back in horror as he fled in panic, holding his head in his hands, and howled incoherently, "above my head", "a black bug", "came out"!

They dragged him into the house. Luo Yi couldn't calm down or communicate normally. His gibberish upgraded to "Lu Quning is a monster", "No, he must be an alien", "I want to call the police". He was sweating all over, fidgeting, and his eyes were out of focus. This look almost scared his parents to death, and the two elders called 120 directly.

During this time, they wondered how a good person could go crazy, so they called Lu Mingyang. Lu Mingyang thought they were here to discuss cooperation, so he happily answered the phone and said, "I just asked Qu Ning to apologize to your Luo Yi. The two children finally reconciled, right?" This angered Luo Yi's parents and they scolded him on the spot.

To make peace with his ancestors, Lu Quning came here to perform a ritual for Luo Yi, right? !

practice!

They were shocked!

They snatched Luo Yi's phone, found Lu Quning's number, called him but no one answered. Then they called a good friend of Luo Yi and asked him why Lu Jiu went crazy.

The friend was confused and could not give a clear answer. Luo Yi's parents anxiously repeated what had just happened outside their house. The friend murmured: "Lu Quning gave Luo Yi a watch?... Hiss, he seemed to have given Lu Jiu a watch at the beginning... Lu Jiu went crazy after receiving the watch!"

It was a bolt from the blue.

Luo Yi's parents were stunned.

Luo Yi was taken to the hospital by the ambulance. After a thorough examination, the doctor concluded that he was too frightened and gave him a tranquilizer. However, the effect of the drug wore off after two hours. When Luo Yi woke up, he was still shouting that there was something wrong with Lu Quning, that he was not a human being, and that they had to find the fire department! Or the armed police! Or a Taoist priest! To catch him!

Luo Yi's father was extremely angry. He went home, put on gloves, put Lu Quning's watch into a plastic bag, and ran straight to the police station.

But the police comrades were also at a loss - a young man went crazy after receiving a watch, and his father said that the watch might contain a curse. How should they solve the case?

After Luo Yi's father calmed down, he realized that extraordinary situations can only be dealt with by extraordinary means.

He first sent a group message to everyone he knew, all his business partners, briefly explaining the situation and reminding everyone to be careful of the Lu family - this was of course a revenge.

This news caused a huge stir in the circle.

The local business leaders certainly knew the Lu family. Many of their children were in the circle of second-generation rich people, and they all knew that Lu Jiu had been crazy for three years for no apparent reason.

I originally thought that Lu Jiu's madness was just a joke, but it turns out there is a trick behind it. Lu Quning is suspected of using a watch to perform a ritual on people? !

Now that's good.

Few of these big guys are staunch materialists. They believe in fate and believe even more that metaphysics can change their fate. Every year, they donate a lot of money to Taoist temples. They are particular about the ornaments and treasures in their homes, and they have the contact information of some Feng Shui masters and fortune-telling masters saved in their mobile phones.

As soon as the matter of Luo Yi came out, Lu Qu Ning and Lu Ming Yang immediately became the people they most feared.

They hurriedly told their sons and daughters not to have any contact with Lu Quning and the Lu family from today onwards - Lu Jiu had nothing to do with it, he was the victim - any group with Lu Quning should either kick him out or leave the group, throw away all the things Lu Quning had sent them, and turn around and run away as soon as they see Lu Quning in the future, and stay away from him!

After achieving his goal, Luo's father contacted a master through a friend. At this moment, the master was on his way from another place.

…

Lu Jiu's heart moved, and he immediately called out in his head: "111, turn on the phone!"

The small system turned on with a beep: "What's wrong, host?"

Lu Jiu repeated what Shen Ke had just told him.

"Could the 'black bug' Luo Yi mentioned be Lu Quning's soul code?"

111 became excited: "It's possible! The soul code is composed of black characters used exclusively in the quick-travel bureau, and it looks a lot like a worm! So that's it! It turns out that this code can run out of Lu Quning's head by itself!"

Lu Jiu was curious: "Can you feel what state he is in now? Has his soul code been captured by your people who are in the fast-travel bureau?"

111 said regretfully: "No, if the Quick Travel Bureau has already recovered his soul code in this world, they must have told me. They haven't made any move yet, so the soul code must have shrunk back."

Lu Jiu touched his chin.

This farce was definitely not intentional by Lu Quning. There was no reason for him to deliberately show the soul code to Luo Yi. The only explanation was that something unexpected happened during his conversation with Luo Yi, causing his soul code to come out by itself.

What is the opportunity?

Lu Jiu's eyes moved slightly.

On the day of the birthday party, he was chatting with Lu Qu Ning when he suddenly felt a strange atmosphere. At that time, could it be that Lu Qu Ning's soul code almost came out?

...Could it be related to Lu Quning's mood swings?

111 said excitedly: "Host, should we go find Lu Quning to test it out?"

"Why?"

"?"

"Did the Quick Travel Bureau give you an urgent task?"

111 was confused: "No."

"If not, why would I rush to do that?" Lu Jiu immediately became lazy. "Whether it's 'getting my life back on track' or 'capturing Lu Quning's soul code for them', they didn't give a time limit for these two tasks, so why not just take your time? Who knows, maybe one day Lu Quning will complete the task himself."

111: “…………” That makes a lot of sense!

After Lu Jiu finished thinking, he put his phone back on the bedside table and lay down comfortably.

——Then she met the subtle gaze of the man next to her.

"?" Lu Jiu, "What? What are you looking at?"

Bai Yun stared at him for a few seconds and chuckled, "Nothing, go to sleep."

He pulled the quilt over him.

*

The news about Lu Quning spread throughout the entire circle. In the following days, it was also discussed in the WeChat group, and the story became more and more outrageous.

Lu Quning's whereabouts were unknown and no one had seen him since then. No one knew whether he was hiding at home or had gone directly to another place.

The master that Luo's father found performed a ritual at their home and came to the conclusion that Luo Yi was not crazy at all, and everything he said was the fact that he had seen with his own eyes!

When these words came out, the circle was shocked again.

In other words, there really was a strange worm hidden in Lu Quning's body, and that worm really came out in front of Luo Yi that evening? !

What is Lu Quning? !

The master is very secretive.

Just stay away from Lu Qu Ning in the future and don't provoke him, but there is no need to be afraid of what he will do. The strong is also weak. His strength lies in his power that is different from that of ordinary people, and his weakness lies in his nature of being greedy for life and afraid of death and bullying the weak and the strong.

This saying became very popular for a while, and people liked it more and more.

"Even the Spring Festival Gala won't be as exciting as this incident." Shen Ke commented.

…

The temperature is getting colder day by day.

After entering December, Lu Jiu's belly became more and more obvious.

At the end of the month, his internship at the professor's company ended. The professor was very surprised to learn that he would take a leave of absence for the next semester. Lu Jiu just said that it was due to health reasons and that he would be fine as long as he recovered, so the professor didn't need to worry too much.

After the final exams, he stayed completely in his villa and refused to go anywhere else.

The floor heating was on 24 hours a day, and Bai Yun came home earlier and earlier every day. Later on, he basically worked from home unless it was necessary, and for meetings he would close the study, turn on the camera, and conduct them online.

A few years ago, they went to Dr. Gao for another prenatal checkup.

This time, they could almost clearly see the baby's eyebrows, eyes, nose, and mouth, as well as its arms and legs that looked like small lotus roots, and its tiny hands were placed next to its cheeks, as if scratching it.

For the first time, Lu Jiu thought that the cub was quite cute.

but--

"I hope he/she will still be this cute after he/she is born." He said to Bai Yun.

In response to his rapid calmness and clarity after being overwhelmed by his father's love, Bai Yun gave an interested smile.

Something unexpected happened that night.

Lu Jiu was about to fall into a drowsy sleep when he suddenly woke up with a start.

He sat up and touched his belly.

Bai Yun was reading a report and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lu Jiu lifted the quilt, quickly pulled his hand over, and placed it on his stomach.

The next second, Bai Yun was slightly stunned.

Lu Jiu turned his head, his eyes sparkling: "Felt it?!"

Bai Yun tilted his head.

Once again.

The kid clearly kicked Lu Jiu under the belly.

Lu Jiu felt extremely miraculous, he actually had fetal movement, and it felt like this!

He didn't know if the kid sensed his emotions, but he became more and more excited in his performance, kicking non-stop. Lu Jiu was amused: "Is he playing the drums?"

"It seems that we have to teach him to know that night is time to go to bed after he is born." Bai Yun said very calmly.

Instantly, my stomach went silent.

Lu Jiu: “………………”

Lu Jiu: "...Why are you scaring even an unborn child?"

Bai Yun raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you and my mother talk about moderate prenatal education this afternoon?"

"...Weren't you in a meeting at that time? Next time, you should attend the meeting properly and not go out to eavesdrop or think about this evil prenatal education!"

…

During the Chinese New Year, there was a heavy snowfall in the mountains.

The snow fell from the afternoon of New Year's Eve to the morning of New Year's Day. When we woke up, everything around us was covered in snow. The housekeeper and the aunts were also extremely excited.

However, Lu Jiu had a cramp early in the morning and was in so much pain that he couldn't get up.

Bai Yun sat on the edge of the bed, rolled up his sleeves and massaged him for a long time, until he was warm all over and his muscles were stretched, then he stopped.

Lu Jiu slumped on the bed, watching the man get up and pack his things like a boneless person, and suddenly raised his arms: "Hey."

Bai Yun turned around and saw him in this posture, with a funny expression as if to say "what are you trying to do now".

But he still leaned down to cooperate: "What's wrong?"

Lu Jiu put her arms around his neck and kissed the side of his face: "Thank you, you've worked hard."

Bai Yun paused.

He turned his head, pinched Lu Jiu's chin, kissed his lips, and pressed the tip of his nose against his cheek.

"It seems like you shouldn't say this to me."

Lu Jiu closed her eyes, said nothing, and just rubbed his cheek.

He received four big red envelopes.

They are from Bai Yun, Bai's father, Bai's mother and Ye Qin respectively.

To be honest, Lu Jiu hasn't received a red envelope since he graduated from elementary school.

Bai's father and mother said: "You are already our child. In our family, we give out red envelopes until you die. Look, Ah Yun has one too!"

Ye Qin came as a guest and after seeing Lu Jiu's stomach, he sprayed red wine all over the floor. His world view was overturned. He then went out to get some cold air to calm down for an hour before making a temporary red envelope.

"Jiujiu, I am your godfather, but this red envelope is not for him, but for you. You have worked so hard."

And this is what Bai Yun said.

No, he did this—

That night, he took out the red envelope, and Lu Jiu took it in shock, muttering, "You're giving me a red envelope too?"

Bai Yun stood there with his arms folded across his chest, looking at him with interest.

This gaze was too strong, and Lu Jiu asked dryly: "What? Don't want to give it to me again? Want to take it back?"

"No," Bai Yun smiled with narrowed eyes, "I just suddenly understood the fun of sending red envelopes."

"…What kind of fun is that?"

"Just like feeding," the man stared at him, "it makes you want to feed more."

“…………”

Lu Jiu made up his mind that he must find a way to make a lot of money in this life.

It’s still unclear who will feed whom in the future!

*

On the first working day after the Spring Festival, Bai Yun went to the company.

He had spent the entire morning in meetings and had a lunch appointment with a partner at a restaurant outside. He had to leave in about thirty minutes. Just as he finished talking to Lu Jiu, there was a knock on his office door.

"Come in."

The assistant opened the door and Bai Yun lowered his head to sign a document.

"Boss Bai, Mr. Lu's brother is on the first floor now and wants to see you."

The last stroke of the character “均” was signed, and the tip of the pen was lifted neatly from the paper.

His dark grey eyes turned and glanced towards the door.

The assistant was hesitant: "He said he wanted to talk to you about something very important about Mr. Lu."

…

Lu Jiu sat in front of the French window in the living room.

The villa was very quiet. He was lying on the sofa, covered with a blanket and sleeping soundly.

Suddenly I felt an itch.

He rubbed his chin against his neck and felt a hand. He opened his eyes sleepily and found Bai Yun standing behind him.

"…You're back," he said in a hoarse voice, "What time is it?"

"It's still early, two o'clock," the man stroked his neck all the way to his cheek, "Why don't you go to bed?"

"I feel it's more comfortable to sleep sitting down..." Lu Jiu placed her hand on her already bulging belly and answered with her eyes closed.

The man didn't say anything else.

Just caress him gently.

This hand is very warm.

Since winter came, Bai Yun has never touched him with his cold hands.

Lu Jiu finally noticed something strange and opened his eyes again: "What's wrong with you?"

The coat was still hanging on his arm, and he had no time to put it down. His long eyelashes cast a shadow on Bai Yun's already deep eyes, making it even more difficult to tell the emotions inside.

The man just stared down at him, just as he had occasionally done in the past few months when he behaved strangely.

He smiled slightly.

"Nothing. Go back to sleep. I'll call you when dinner comes."

He leaned down and kissed the side of Lu Jiu's face, very gently and considerately, and covered him with a blanket.

*

In March, Lu Jiu suddenly heard that Lu Mingyang and Yang Yu were getting a divorce.

——It’s not Lu Mingyang who wants to leave, it’s Yang Yu who wants to leave.

The two of them caused a huge mess and everyone in the circle knew about it.

It was under such circumstances that Lu Jiu received a text message from an unfamiliar mobile number.

"The house is going to be sold. I packed up some of your mother's things these past two days and put them all in your room. If you want them, come back and get them. If not, I'll throw them away."

At that time, Lu Jiu was flipping through a dictionary of ancient poems - still worrying about a name for the kid.

Bai Yun was sitting next to him drinking tea.

Lu Jiu picked up the phone and fell silent after seeing the text message.

"Want to go?" Bai Yun asked calmly beside him.

"No," Lu Jiu's face showed inquiry, "I was wondering, was this sent by Lu Mingyang?"

*

One day later.

It is chilly in spring.

There was a car parked in the alley opposite the Lu family villa. Lu Quning was sitting in the driver's seat, his hands on the steering wheel, his eyes fixed on the villa gate.

When someone walked by outside the car, he would startle and look over immediately. Even if it was a completely unfamiliar face, he would stare at them strangely for a long time, and only when the other person was completely far away would he quietly breathe a sigh of relief.

He recalled the day he stepped into Bai Yun's office a month ago.

The man sat behind a large desk, reading something in his hands without even looking up.

The assistant politely asked him to sit down on the sofa far away from the man. He was a little reserved, but also nervous and looking forward to the conversation that was about to take place.

Bai Yun seemed to be an old hand at dealing with this kind of situation. He remained calm and composed from beginning to end. Lu Quning could not see through him at all. In the end, he was the one who started the conversation because he could not bear the anxiety anymore.

He said half, and covered half.

He was careful not to reveal too much, hoping that Bai Yun knew that Lu Jiu was not from this world, and might not even be the real Lu Jiu.

As for who he is?

Give him some money and he will tell you everything.

Lu Qu Ning was also at his wit's end.

After what happened with Luo Yi, his biological mother Yang Yu began to be afraid of him, and Lu Mingyang clamored to send him to a mental hospital. He could no longer stay in the Lu family, nor in this city. Now the only way for him to get out of the quagmire was to take the money and run away!

He turned off the mute of 329 and checked with the system from time to time: "The soul code didn't come out, right?"

"No, host."

However, the man sitting behind the desk simply changed from lowering his head to signing documents to leaning back in his chair, crossing his legs, and looking at him with a thoughtful look.

Lu Quning was under increasing pressure.

"Why didn't he react? Wasn't I clear enough?"

329 Silence: "I don't know either, host."

Lu Quning tightened his hands, and the fabric of his pants was wrinkled.

"I just said that Lu Jiu might not be the Lu Jiu from three years ago, didn't I say that?"

"Yes."

"He doesn't care at all?"

His lips opened and closed slightly, and his eager desire to communicate almost made him instinctively open his mouth and talk to 329.

Just at this moment.

"—who are you talking to?"

The sudden question from behind the desk made Lu Quning stunned.

……What?

"What is he talking about--" he asked 329 confusedly.

The man interrupted: "Ah, now."

Lu Quning froze.

"Now," the man said slowly, "you are talking to someone I can't see."

...His thoughts instantly evaporated into blankness, and Lu Qu Ning stared blankly at Bai Yun.

"Who is it?" the man asked good-naturedly, as if he was asking a very common question.

When Lu Quning heard this, it was like a bolt from the blue.

"...I," Lu Qu Ning swallowed his saliva and found his voice again. He forced a smile, "Brother Yun... I don't understand what you are saying. I, I am talking to you."

The man smiled, but those inquiring eyes never let him go.

Every low and elegant word he uttered made Lu Quning break out in a cold sweat.

"The conversation took place directly in your brain?"

——

Lu Qu Ning stood up from the sofa with a bang, his chest heaving and the hairs on his body standing on end.

Bai Yun's gaze shifted from looking straight ahead to looking up, still full of interest.

Lu Qu Ning seemed to be on fire and was about to explode.

What's going on?

What's wrong with this man?

"Is he a player too? 329, is Bai Yun a player too?!"

"I don't know, host. My detection function has been broken for a long time."

Bai Yun’s gaze clearly showed that he knew Lu Quning was talking to the “creature” in his brain again.

Lu Quning screamed in his heart.

"He and Lu Jiu are both players?!"

"I really don't know, host, please calm down, otherwise the soul code——"

Lu Quning suddenly raised his hand and touched the top of his head.

Bai Yun's playful gaze fell on the top of his head.

This transfer almost made Lu Quning jump up on the spot.

He was essentially a prey that had been tracked and targeted for a long time, and his every move was under the enemy's eyes!

He didn't say anything else and rushed out!

…

From that day on, Lu Qu Ning felt that there was always a gaze behind him, as if someone was following him.

He didn't know if he was too sensitive or if he was really being watched, and he was terribly scared.

Yang Yu started to divorce Lu Mingyang, and the two no longer returned home. The villa was about to be auctioned and could no longer be lived in.

Lu Quning had to sell all the watches he had collected for many years for cash, but even with more than one million, he knew very well that he would not be able to use them for long -

No friends are willing to help him, no one is willing to take him in, he has nowhere to go, like a rat crossing the street with nowhere to hide. The money will soon be spent, and then he will become a pauper!

Why why why!

Lu Quning felt a surge of anger under tremendous pressure and anxiety.

Is he going to live like this for the rest of his life?! This is worse than being in the mission world. He took huge risks to open up these undeveloped worlds not for a life like this. He doesn't want it!

The night before last, an idea came to him.

He left his temporary rental house at the time when ordinary people got off work and joined the crowd.

Wearing a hoodie, he walked through the streets and alleys for a long time, speeding up and turning from time to time, and finally went into a construction site, ran to the sixth floor of a building under construction, and looked around vigilantly in the shadow under the moon.

After confirming that there was no one below, he began to discuss with 329.

"329, I heard that your system is the last resort in the hands of players. In a critical moment, they can destroy you and exchange you for a treasure chest."

"Yes," 329 replied calmly, "but host, the achievement points accumulated from the mission worlds you have experienced before can also be exchanged for some low-level treasure chests. Aren't those enough?"

"Not enough!" Lu Quning panted, "I heard that there is a 'new look' function in the collector's treasure chest, which can completely change a person's appearance. I want this!"

329 was silent for a long time.

"Host, please think carefully. When you opened these undeveloped worlds, you and I were broken into five pieces and entered different worlds. If you destroy me at this moment, the me in the other four worlds will also disappear and turn into treasure chests. The you in those worlds will lose the continuous help of the system without knowing it."

Lu Quning frowned immediately.

"Aren't these five worlds to be developed parallel? Maybe I have already got what I want in those four worlds and don't need your help anymore!"

"The three thousand worlds are parallel in the big world, but there are differences in the time dimension. Our world is currently at the front of the time dimension. At this time, you in the other four worlds may not have been born yet."

“…………”

Lu Qu Ning didn't expect this to happen and was a little hesitant for a moment.

Under the moonlight, he stared into the void with a gloomy look.

One minute later.

"No matter what, I'm going to destroy you."

He can only take care of himself now.

The moment the five hims separated, the other four hims no longer had anything to do with him.

Besides, can't he still get a collector's treasure chest for each of the four?

329A sigh.

"Okay, I will now start the automatic destruction process. One minute later, a treasure chest will appear in front of you, the host. Please make your choice carefully."

"329 bids you farewell. Although the journey with you was short, it was very pleasant. Goodbye."

Lu Quning's life was a complete failure.

Maybe it's because he's a coward and never dares to make bold choices.

Now, he has to be brave for once.

In the darkness, a treasure chest emitting golden light floated in the air, and only he could see it.

He swallowed, his heart pounding.

Lifting the lid of the treasure chest, he found four golden cardboards stacked inside, he took them out, leaving the "new" ones, and put the rest back into the chest.

Close your eyes and say "use" silently.

A mechanical voice sounded in his mind.

[Now, please imagine the new image you want, including all the details such as height, weight, voice, etc.]

【A new beginning. 】

…

Night slowly fell.

Lu Quning noticed that a Maybach drove to the door of the Lu family villa and stopped.

He leaned forward excitedly, his eyes shining with excitement and greed.

Here we come!

Is it Lu Bar?

He received that text message and was tricked into coming back here!

The rearview mirror reflected his face behind the car window.

——It was a face with heavy dark circles and bloodshot eyes, but it still couldn't hide its bright and beautiful face.

Lu Jiu’s face.
