Chapter 169 Lulu is here
He Yulan looked apologetic: "You have to go out to pick them up so late at night. These two kids are such a worry. You can't even drive, how are you going to pick them up in the city..."
Bai Lu smiled and said, "It's okay, Uncle Fugui has a motorcycle, I'll ask him to give me a ride."
After saying that, he pulled Xiao Wei aside.
He whispered in her ear, "You stay home and keep an eye on Chen Chunli and Auntie. Your brother and I will be back soon. If anything happens, press the call-back button and tell the person on the other end your brother's name. They'll know who to call. I taught you how to call back last time, remember?"
Xiao Wei gripped his clothes tightly and nodded: "I remember, you will definitely come back, right?"
Bai Lu patted his head: "Don't worry, we will definitely be back, very soon."
"Don't let Chen Chunli and Auntie touch the phone, okay? When you're on the phone, stay away from them so they can't hear what's going on, okay?"
"Okay, I understand."
Xiao Wei knew that something must have happened to his elder brother, otherwise Bai Lu wouldn't have given him such detailed instructions.
I watched with a heavy heart as the sun set behind the gate.
It was 10 o'clock, and Yu Fugui and Wen Xiuyun were still awake, picking through the unsold, spoiled fruit in the yard.
In the afternoon, Yu Fugui went back to the village to buy some fruit. His children, who were on weekend off, helped him prune the branches and sort the fruit by size and quality. The family chatted and laughed together.
Upon hearing the knock, Yu Fugui's son, Yu Dongxu, who was sitting near the door, got up to open it.
Upon seeing the person who arrived, he froze, standing there dumbfounded, unsure whether to greet them first or offer a friendly hello.
Bai Lu knew who the boy in front of her was. After saying hello, she asked directly, "Are your parents home? I need their help with something."
Upon hearing the simple "hello," Yu Dongxu's ears instantly turned bright red. "Yes, I'll call them out right now."
The words had barely left his mouth.
Yu Fugui and Wen Xiuyun, who heard the noise in the courtyard, had already walked out.
Is it the White Dew season?
"It's me, Fifth Aunt, good evening, Uncle Fugui."
Bai Lu explained her purpose to the two approaching figures: "Xiao Cheng went out to discuss business and drank too much. I'm going to pick him up. Could you please give me a ride to the city, Uncle Fugui?"
Yu Fugui and Wen Xiuyun were also in business, so they understood the social etiquette in these industries and immediately agreed.
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll go back and get my motorcycle." Yu Fugui returned to the yard to get his motorcycle.
Wen Xiuyun comforted Bai Lu: "Don't worry, Xiao Cheng is so smart, he won't fall for anyone's tricks."
Bai Lu nodded in agreement, without elaborating further.
Just as Yu Fugui had ridden his motorcycle out, he was stopped by Yu Dongxu at the door.
"Dad, let me go. There are no streetlights at night, you won't be able to see the road."
It took Yu Fugui a while to realize that Yu Dongxu was implying that his eyesight was failing.
"You brat!"
"Dad, just let my brother take Bailu to the city. He can drive faster than you."
Yu Fugui was pulled out of the car by Yu Xiaoling, who suddenly appeared, and was forced to relinquish his driving rights.
With Yu Xiaoling's help, Yu Dongxu successfully rode a motorcycle and set off with Bai Lu on the back.
The dark figure that sped away into the night grew ever more distant.
Wen Xiuyun frowned slightly and glared at Yu Xiaoling: "Your brother is out of his mind and doesn't know any better. Why are you following along and making a fool of yourself? Bai Lu and Xiao Cheng are a legitimate couple."
Yu Xiaoling linked arms with Wen Xiuyun and said with a playful smile, "I'm not being silly. If my brother wants to take Bailu to the city, then you can let him take Bailu to the city."
"Let him see Bai Lu and Xiao Cheng being affectionate with his own eyes, and he'll be able to give up on them faster and more completely."
Wen Xiuyun: "..."
Yu Fugui: "..."
You're such a good sister!
Yu Dongxu was an excellent student; he didn't smoke, drink, fight, or skip classes, and he had never been to a nightclub.
With the heartfelt desire to see someone through to the end and protect them to the very end, despite being politely refused by Bai Lu along the way, he remained true to his original intention and went into the dance hall with Bai Lu after parking the car.
Upon entering, one is immediately struck by the magnificent and luxurious lobby, with dazzling crystal chandeliers.
This is indeed a great place to discuss business.
However, apart from the leather sofa area, the lobby on the first floor was empty except for the reception desk facing the entrance and the wide staircases leading upstairs on both sides. Xiao Cheng was nowhere to be seen in the lobby, and it was unknown where he was conducting business.
Yu Dongxu followed Bai Lu upstairs with questions in his mind, only to find a long corridor behind the stairs with many rooms on both sides, from which came the occasional noise of mahjong being played.
I didn't encounter anyone on my way upstairs. The second floor was a restaurant, but all the tables were empty.
The lights weren't on either, so I guess they only serve meals during the day.
Yu Dongxu had heard of Xiao Cheng: an ignorant and incompetent gang leader, a ruthless bully, a cold-faced kingpin who collected debts with brutal methods, and a powerful underworld boss who dominated the martial arts world.
I heard it all from classmates or people on the street.
He didn't know the truth, and now it seemed that the rumors were either false or incomplete.
Xiao Cheng is also a big businessman.
He's definitely not someone a student like him can compare to.
Yu Dongxu was marveling at Xiao Cheng's power when he witnessed it firsthand.
I was completely terrified.
Third floor lobby...
The place was a complete mess. Tables, chairs, lamps, chandeliers, ashtrays, and oddly shaped bottles of all shapes and sizes were scattered all over the place, broken and in pieces.
A large area on the ground was red.
The glass on the coffee table was shattered into a blood-red stain.
The telephone on the counter had fallen to the ground and broken in two; one half was on the counter and the other half was on the ground.
Next to the half-telephone on the ground were two bloody teeth and a clock broken into five or six pieces. On the wall where the clock was hung, there were obvious marks that the hanging nails had been bent from being hit by a heavy object.
Under the only intact crystal chandelier in the hall, a group of figures were fighting each other in a chaotic brawl, wielding "weapons" that could be found everywhere.
One by one, figures fell. Some got up and continued, while those who couldn't get up rolled into a corner, trembling.
The man, his face contorted with rage, was walking toward a figure lying on the ground not far away, convulsing and trembling. Seven or eight security guards ran to stop him, but were quickly thrown aside.
A group of burly men suddenly appeared out of nowhere, running and shouting "Brother Cheng," but the result was the same.
They were all ruthlessly thrown away by the man.
Until a voice rang out in the hall—
“Acheng.”
Two words were enough to make the man, who had already raised his foot to kick the convulsing figure on the ground, stop and turn around.
Yu Dongxu saw the man's face clearly, and his reaction, which had just been pulled back by the girl's heavenly voice, froze again.
His gaze was frozen by the scene before him.
Bai Lu walked through the mess to Xiao Cheng's side, took his hand, and turned to leave.
As they walked, they asked, "Where is Wang Hao?"
"I don't know." Xiao Cheng stared at the small hand he was holding, then moved his gaze up to the girl's face.
Why is Lulu here?
Bai Lu couldn't find Wang Hao and didn't want to talk.
Ignoring the stares from everyone who looked at her like she was a monster, she continued to lead the fearsome Xiao Cheng as they searched for someone.
Xiao Cheng called out, "Wang Hao."
"Brother Cheng, sister-in-law, I'm here..."
