Is it hard to chase the school beauty?It doesn't matter, she still has roommates

Chapter 441: Mid-gate confrontation
Walking all the way to the door of Chu Xiong's study, Qin Luo did not rush in, but took out his mobile phone and said in a low voice: "Xiao A, check if there are any electronic devices such as monitoring and listening in this room in front of me."

"Okay, master," Xiao A responded immediately, and five seconds later replied: "8 monitoring devices and 12 listening devices were detected in the room."

Qin Luo: "..."

He couldn't help but twitch his lips. After talking with Wang Yiqun before, he realized that Chu Xiong might be in a state of being unable to control himself for some reason. Combining various clues, the most likely suspect who caused Chu Xiong's condition was Chu Yang.

In order to verify his guess, Qin Luo felt that he needed to have a frank talk with Chu Xiong. Although he didn't know whether the other party would cooperate, he always had to make the necessary preparations.

For example, to see if he was being monitored - Qin Luo didn't expect that there was something so outrageous in this room!
It's fucking amazing. Although Chu Xiong's study is quite large, aren't 20 electronic devices for surveillance a bit too much?

He complained in his heart, then whispered, "Block them all."

"Okay," Xiao A agreed readily, and responded thirty seconds later: "All electronic devices in the room have been blocked."

"Well done."

Qin Luo silently gave Xiao A a thumbs up, then knocked on the door.

……

Just like the last time we met, Chairman Chuxiong today still had a very “ape-like” look.

The fat body, the fierce look, the gloomy eyes, the big gold chain that was roughly estimated to weigh at least several kilograms, and the hands full of gold rings - the man sitting behind the desk was so ostentatious that he almost had the words "I am the world's number one nouveau riche" written on his face.

Before Qin Luo met Chu Xiong, he was also full of awe for this man who was known as a legend in the business world.

After all, men are born to want to achieve something, either by turning the tables in the business world or in politics. If they can't do either, then having a wife, children and a warm bed is great.

There is no doubt that Chu Xiong is a man who has almost reached the end of his career in the business world, but if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who could have imagined that he would be such a person in his daily life?
Fortunately, Qin Luo had met Chu Xiong once before, so he was not too surprised to see him again this time. He just couldn't help feeling emotional - both because of his disillusionment with Chu Xiong's character and image, and because of his helplessness about Chu Sijin and Chu Liunian being born in such a family and having such a father.

"Director Chu."

After a polite greeting, Qin Luo stepped on the soft carpet and walked to the desk step by step.

Chu Xiong raised his eyelids and glanced at him, but he did not show the arrogance and contempt he had shown when they met before. He just said one word lightly: "Sit down."

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Qin Luo always feels that Chu Xiong seems a little weak today, as if he lacks some energy. So even though his image is very aggressive, he gives people the feeling of a sick tiger with its fangs and sharp teeth pulled out, and no longer makes Qin Luo feel dangerous and aggressive.

Is it an illusion?

Qin Luo pondered in his heart, and then sat down silently opposite Chu Xiong.

"Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?" Chu Xiong asked, his indifferent voice and tone showed a bit of indifference, as if he was a little too lazy to pay attention to Qin Luo.

However, compared to the bad side he showed when they met last time, the current way of communication made Qin Luo feel more comfortable.

"I apologize for interrupting you," Qin Luo said politely, and then he attacked directly, saying, "Regarding Chu Yang's adoption by you, I want to ask if there is any hidden story behind it?"

Before visiting Chuxiong this time, Qin Luo had thought of many ways to start the topic.

For example, those big guys like to play riddles or ask questions in a rut.

But after thinking for a long time, Qin Luo finally chose to be straightforward. One reason was that he didn't like the roundabout way of chatting, and the other was that he felt that if his idea was correct, Chu Xiong should be more anxious than him.

So, just strike hard and it's over.

As for Chu Xiong, he frowned fiercely after hearing this, then his eyes widened and his aura became fierce, as if he had suddenly transformed from a sick tiger into a ferocious tiger coming down the mountain. Coupled with his exaggerated appearance, he gave people a very ferocious feeling.

But I don’t know whether this is a manifestation of being strong on the outside but weak on the inside, or a disguise for self-protection?

"It's none of your business?" Chu Xiong abandoned his previous indifference and instantly resumed his previous aggressive attitude. His words mercilessly released his hostility: "Do you have to care about my family affairs?"

Qin Luo was not frightened by Chu Xiong's appearance. He noticed Chu Xiong's sudden change and carefully observed his every look, expression, tone and micro-reaction. Finally, he came to a conclusion - he was deliberately hiding something.

After all, answering a question irrelevantly is also an answer to a certain extent. Although it is a bit arbitrary to think so, Qin Luo feels that it also applies to the current situation.

So, Chuxiong can’t say it, or is he unwilling to say it?

Qin Luo felt that both possibilities were possible, so the next question was how to guide him to tell him what he wanted to know.

"My company has encountered some problems recently," Qin Luo considered his words and said slowly, "Although it was finally resolved satisfactorily, I also knew that there would be various obstacles and obstructions on the road ahead, but I didn't expect that the one who tripped me up behind the scenes would be Chu Yang... Mr. Chu, do you know about this?"

Chu Xiong did not respond immediately. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Qin Luo for a few seconds, then sneered and said with great disdain: "It's none of my business... So what? You are scared of being beaten, so you want to come to me to help you get justice?"

"That's not what I meant," Qin Luo shook his head and said lightly, "I just want to know, what do you think about this matter?"

"What can I think of that?" Chu Xiong continued to maintain his exaggerated attitude, and said with disdain, "I have long stopped caring about those messy things outside. You come to bother me with trivial matters. If you do it again, don't even think about entering my door again. Get out of here."

"Okay, I understand what you mean," Qin Luo sighed, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he changed the subject and asked again: "Then, I hope you can answer my last question. Excuse me... do you need my help?"

As if he was laughing out of anger, Chu Xiong suddenly grinned, stared at Qin Luo with a sinister look, and said word by word: "Do you take yourself too seriously?"

Qin Luo nodded and responded as if talking to himself: "So, it's not unnecessary, right?"

Chu Xiong's eyes twitched, and his expression showed anger at a speed visible to the naked eye. He even stood up and raised his hand, as if he was going to slam the table and curse. But Qin Luo didn't wait for him to fully explode, and suddenly said: "Before I entered the room, I had blocked all the electronic equipment in this room... Of course, this also includes surveillance and wiretapping."

After these words came out, Chu Xiong was stunned on the spot, but he quickly reacted, stared at Qin Luo and spit out one word coldly: "Get out!"

Qin Luo took a deep breath and patiently comforted him: "If you don't believe me, you can verify it yourself."

This time, Chu Xiong did not ask Qin Luo to get out directly.

He squinted his eyes and stared at Qin Luo, and was silent for more than ten seconds - and this simple reaction was actually able to prove something.

But in the end, he didn't directly say what Qin Luo wanted to hear.

He just sat down again, then faded away the rage and hostility just now, and asked Qin Luo a somewhat inexplicable question: "Do you know what is the most terrifying thing in this world?"

Qin Luo thought for a moment and said, "Human heart?" "...You can say that," Chu Xiong seemed a little surprised by his answer. He glanced at Qin Luo and said, "But in my opinion, the most terrible thing is trust. As long as you trust the wrong person, no matter how much you have, you will still lose everything in the end."

Qin Luo knew that this was a signal of goodwill from Chu Xiong.

He didn't say a word, but just sat upright, quietly waiting for Chu Xiong's next speech.

It’s a pity that Chuxiong didn’t seem to have any intention of explaining further.

Or rather, he didn't want to make it clear.

Qin Luo hesitated for a moment and asked, "You don't trust me?"

Chu Xiong laughed: "Why should I trust you?"

Qin Luo: "..."

That's true. After all, in Chu Xiong's view, Qin Luo was just a wild man who appeared inexplicably next to her two daughters.

Just because his two daughters are special, many people, including Chu Xiong, have a "future son-in-law" filter for Qin Luo. However, it is hard to say whether this filter is good or bad. But in the final analysis, there is not much intersection between Qin Luo and Chu Xiong, let alone a good impression of each other - if this is the case, let alone trust.

Qin Luo frowned and thought for a while. Just as he was about to speak, Chu Xiong said first: "If you really want to help me, then give up everything you have now, restrain all your edges, and then accept the conditions I proposed last time, take the bank card, and then choose a house in the Magic City, and live the rest of your life with my two daughters... This is the best result."

After the words fell, Qin Luo didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that there was an imperceptible pleading in Chu Xiong's eyes.

He hesitated for two seconds, shook his head, and said, "Sorry, I can't do it."

"Is it because of the women around you?" Chu Xiong stared at him intently. "I understand that men are lustful, but you should know that they are not comparable to my two daughters, even Tang Zeming's daughter. What's more, she has a lot of troubles in her own family. Can you take care of it?"

After a pause, Chu Xiong added in a complicated tone: "What's more, I have not one daughter, but two."

Qin Luo: "..."

I always feel that this topic is a bit embarrassing to talk about in detail... Qin Luo silently complained in his heart, and then said: "Their importance to me cannot be measured by value."

Chu Xiong was silent for a while, then smiled and said, "In that case, then try your best to do what you told me last time... although I don't think you can succeed."

Qin Luo did not respond, but suddenly asked: "Director Chu is willing to believe me now?"

Chu Xiong remained silent with his eyes closed, and his body language revealed his intention to see the guest off.

So Qin Luo finally did not stay any longer, but turned around and left silently. However, when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and said without turning his head: "You just called them daughters... In fact, you love them very much, right?"

Chu Xiong did not respond, but suddenly opened his eyes that had just been closed. Then he watched Qin Luo walk out of his study. Until the door closed, he remained motionless, as if he was lost in thought.

About two minutes after Qin Luo left, a phone call came in.

Chuxiong picked up the phone without even looking at it.

"It seems that something unexpected happened in your room just now?"

As Chu Xiong expected, the voice coming from the other side was that of his adopted son, and his tone was somewhat solemn and suspicious.

"The kid named Qin has been here," Chu Xiong replied calmly.

"What did he do?"

"do not know."

"...I'll be back soon."

After the words fell, the call was disconnected. Chu Xiong closed his eyes again and sat in the chair motionless, as if he fell asleep quickly.

……

According to the previous conversation between Chu Sijin and Chu Yang, Chu Yang should have come back around twelve o'clock, which was during lunch time.

But in the end, he came back at exactly eleven o'clock, less than an hour after Qin Luo left Chu Xiong's study.

So Qin Luo naturally came to a conclusion - his behavior of interrupting the communication between those monitoring devices and Chu Xiong caused Chu Yang's stress reaction.

After Qin Luo left Chu Xiong's study, he returned to the sisters' boudoir and played board games with them. Just when the three of them left the room and were about to go to the kitchen to prepare lunch, Chu Yang came back.

The few of them met on the first floor. Chu Liunian ignored Chu Yang, while Chu Sijin timidly called him "Brother".

On weekdays, Chu Yang always acts like a domineering president when facing outsiders, but he appears very gentle when facing his family, especially when facing Chu Sijin and Chu Liunian, he always seems to maintain the appearance of a good brother.

But this time, not only did he not respond to Chu Sijin's greeting, he didn't even look at the two sisters.

He just stared at Qin Luo, his expressionless face showed a bit of unfriendly momentum, and then he quickly showed a smile and said cheerfully: "Qin Luo, it's been a while since we last saw each other. I will accompany you for dinner later. I have something to do with my dad now. Excuse me."

He was about to leave when he said that, but Qin Luo suddenly said, "Didn't you always call me brother-in-law before? Why are you calling me so distant this time... Uncle, brother."

Chu Yang: "..."

He didn't say a word, but looked back at Qin Luo expressionlessly, then hurried up the stairs - he didn't even take the elevator, and he couldn't even maintain his usual leisurely demeanor, which showed that he was extremely uneasy at the moment.

Chu Liunian looked at his hurriedly leaving figure, then looked at Qin Luo with a somewhat puzzled expression.

Chu Sijin blushed a little, because Qin Luo just called Chu Yang "brother-in-law", didn't this prove that Qin Luo already wanted to marry them?

Great!
So she asked directly: "Qin Luo, when are you going to marry us?"

Qin Luo pretended not to hear it, touched her head, and said as he walked: "Let's go, I'll make you something delicious."
