Chapter 17: Stockpiling. Wanting to kill someone
During class, Li Guoxi didn't know what happened. He stuck his head out to look upstairs, then looked towards the kitchen. He was not like this before. At most he would play games on his phone.
"There are still twenty-three minutes before the get out of class ends. Let's both hold on." Chu An said with a smile.
Li Guoxi rolled his eyes at her and then dozed off on the table.
Twenty-three minutes passed quickly and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Guoxi straightened up, stretched his shoulders, and then trotted upstairs.
Chu An could clearly feel his mood changing, from boredom to excitement. Could it be that a friend was waiting for him upstairs?
She quickly gathered her scattered thoughts. Li Guoxi was no threat to her, so there was no need to think too much about it. She packed up her textbooks and went to the living room, but she was not in a hurry to leave.
The housekeeper asked politely, "Teacher Chu, are you waiting for the master?"
Chu An nodded and said obediently, "I have something to ask Grandpa Li. When will Grandpa Li be back?"
The housekeeper smiled, "It's almost time. The master usually arrives home at half past nine. Please sit on the sofa for a while. The master will take care of your affairs."
After thanking the housekeeper, she sat quietly in a corner of the sofa, occasionally keeping an eye on the door.
After a while, Li Guoxi came down from upstairs and was stunned again. It was the first time he saw Chu An leave after class without escaping.
Chu An also looked at him, wearing a silk pajamas and holding a dog leash in his hand.
When did you get a dog?
Then, a fair and tender little kid appeared from behind him. He looked about three or four years old, with two big, black and bright eyes.
The little kid, with a leash tied around his neck, staggered down the stairs.
When she saw this scene, her stomach instantly churned.
The scene of cannibalism in the previous life involuntarily emerged before my eyes. The unlucky ones were all children under the age of ten, just like now, tied with leashes and kept in dog kennels, waiting for people to choose their food.
Li Guoxi walked quickly towards the kitchen. The little kid couldn't keep up and was dragged crookedly. Sometimes the collar was too tight, causing him to cough dryly.
"Aren't you hungry?" Li Guoxi took out a piece of raw meat from the refrigerator and threw it on the ground jokingly, "Eat it."
The little kid's eyes were filled with fear, his little mouth was pursed into a straight line, and his hands were holding the dog leash helplessly.
"Don't want to eat this?" He took out another can of imported milk powder, opened the lid and scooped out a large spoonful, pried open his mouth, poured a large spoonful of dry milk powder into it, then scooped another large spoonful and continued to stuff it into his mouth regardless of the little kid's dry cough.
The little boy waved his hands helplessly in the air and kicked his feet on the ground, but his strength was too little and he couldn't break free from Li Guoxi.
His eyes were red and the milk powder he choked out was like mushroom clouds rising into the sky.
Li Guoxi laughed ferociously until the spoon could no longer fit in, then he threw the little bean away. His soft body hit the refrigerator heavily, then slid down softly, motionless.
The kitchen was open, and the servants and the housekeeper waiting in the living room saw it, but no one cared.
Chu An felt his heart tighten and his crown went numb. Who said that natural disasters caused the end of the world? The life of some people is the end of the world for others.
I have never been looking forward to the end of the world as much as I am now. Dirty people don’t deserve to live.
“Cough cough...cough cough cough...”
The little kid finally recovered, hunched over and coughed continuously, until his voice became hoarse.
Chu An closed his eyes and suppressed his urge to kill.
At the same time, the door was opened by the servant, and Boss Li, wearing a Zhongshan suit, walked in, surrounded by his subordinates and bodyguards.
She took a few seconds to stand up and greeted him, "Hello, Grandpa Li."
Boss Li was not surprised. Apparently someone had told him in advance that Chu An was waiting here.
"Xiao An, come and sit down. We'll talk later." Boss Li said politely and asked his grandson to go upstairs with him. He didn't pay any attention to the little kid and didn't even give him a look.
Chu An couldn't do anything about it. She knew her current position and the rules of the Li family. If she rashly showed her kindness, it would only make things worse. Moreover, Li Guoxi would not kill him easily if he could keep him by his side, but he could not escape the torture.
About twenty minutes later, the housekeeper invited Chu An to the study on the second floor. This was her first time on the second floor, and she scanned every corner with her peripheral vision. Although she didn't have a photographic memory, she could still remember most of it.
When I walked into the study, I was even more shocked. It was so luxurious.
A lotus-shaped mahogany desk occupies the center, with bookshelves and calligraphy and paintings on the walls on both sides, and a large flower pottery half a person's height in the corner.
She didn't dare to look around and could only focus her gaze on the desk.
The rosewood brush carved with dragons and phoenixes on the table must be worth hundreds of thousands, not to mention the Duan inkstone with embroidered mountains and rivers next to it, which is estimated to be worth millions.
There was also a shelf full of antiques behind her, and just a few of them would be enough for her to buy protective equipment for the end of the world.
Boss Li was sitting leisurely in the main seat. When he saw her come in, he didn't say hello but asked directly, "Do you want to guarantee someone to borrow money?"
Chu An was stunned, and all the hairs on his body stood up. She only mentioned this matter once, and it was at home.
She believed that it was not Li Qing who leaked the news. But it was even more terrifying because it was not him.
"Yes, not a lot, just three million is enough." Chu An was distracted for a moment, quickly calmed down, and temporarily increased the amount five times. She would not admit that she was stimulated by the room full of antique calligraphy and paintings.
"Do you think you are worth three million?" Boss Li smiled contemptuously.
"I'm not worth it, but the person who borrowed the money is." She couldn't show any sign of asking for help or being afraid. In the eyes of these people, they only cared about benefits. "He works in the municipal government secretariat."
"That's a good job." Boss Li's eagle eyes turned, "How do you know him? Logically..."
"Normally, I wouldn't know such a person at my age, but it just so happens." Chu An took over his words calmly, "He is the cousin of my classmate, and he doesn't want to borrow money from me in the urban village. First, like you, he thinks I am too young to know any big shots. Second, his job is very sensitive, and he doesn't want to have anything to do with the urban village. Mainly, I want to earn this money. In two years, I will take the college entrance examination, and I need the money to go to college. I also want to repay Grandpa Li for taking care of me. It will be good for everyone to establish this relationship."
Chu An rarely spoke so much at once, and his throat was a little uncomfortable, but he endured it and continued: "This person is very smart, can please the leader, and has a bright future. Even if you agree now, I have to use some means to gain his trust. But before that, I still hope to get Grandpa Li's permission first."
He was 70% sure that he could maximize the utilization value of "Chu Da Diao" and promote Boss Li to a certain level.
The only thing I regret is that I acted too calm and mature, which might have backfired.
