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

"Of course I do."

When Cui Ying heard the name "Chu Yang", her expression suddenly became somewhat gloomy, and she even gritted her teeth when she spoke.

"When I was forced to come to America, I kept thinking about what happened to Chu Xiong and who forced him to do these things. But my questions were never answered because I was imprisoned here and it was difficult for me to get information from the outside world. After Xiao Jin was taken away, I was in a daze for a long time. The only thing I could do every day was to search for related entries about the Chu Group on the Internet, hoping to get some news..."

"Wait," Qin Luo interrupted, "Can you usually go online?"

Cui Ying guessed his confusion and explained before he asked, "I tried to seek help online, but even calling the police was useless. The people who were guarding me forged my mental illness certificate, and the police were blocked by that certificate when they first came to see me. Since then, I gave up seeking help because I already understood my situation and knew that I couldn't escape on my own."

Qin Luo nodded: "I see, sorry to interrupt you, please continue."

"It doesn't matter." Cui Ying smiled first, then hesitated for two seconds before continuing: "In the first few years, I didn't find any useful information about the Chu Group. Until one day I suddenly realized that Chu Xiong, as the president of the group, rarely appeared in the public eye."

"I don't know if you know this, but because he built the Chu Group from scratch, and by the time he was middle-aged, he had already built his business to a level that ordinary people couldn't believe, so Chu Xiong has a strong sense of pride and arrogance. It's not an exaggeration to say that he's arrogant. In layman's terms, that's..."

Cui Ying paused, as if she was struggling over whether she should explain it in such detail.

Qin Luo, however, supplemented her words considerately: "You like to show off, right? I understand, go on."

Although he said so, he was actually a little surprised in his heart. He thought that Chu Xiong's behavior after being monitored by Chu Yang was just a pretense, but he didn't expect that he was actually a pretender?
Cui Ying smiled awkwardly: "That's right, so when he was young, he actually liked to appear in the public eye. But after I left, I looked up information about him online and found that he appeared in the public eye less and less."

"After all, he was the most famous CEO of a company in the country at the time. Even though there was a Pacific Ocean between us, there should have been news about him and the Chu Group on the Internet. But... there wasn't. For many years, although the company seemed to have been running smoothly, he hadn't appeared for a long time."

"I also thought at the time whether he was murdered by someone. Xiaojin and Liunian might also have been murdered... That was the most helpless and desperate time for me. I even tried to commit suicide at one point, but those who controlled me obviously didn't want me to die. They also guessed my thoughts and showed me recent photos of Chuxiong and my two daughters."

"Since then, I no longer had any plans to commit suicide, but I had more and more doubts in my heart. Until one day, I saw on the Internet that the president of the Chu Group publicly announced that he would step down and his adopted son Chu Yang would serve as the executive president of the Chu Group... It was not until that moment that I finally knew who the culprit was who had harmed our family like this!"

"Chuxiong's driver?" Qin Luo added a timely comment.

"That's right," Cui Ying nodded with gritted teeth, "The driver's name is Lu Biao, and he is from the same hometown as Chu Xiong. They had a good relationship when they were young, but later Lu Biao's family couldn't afford the tuition and he couldn't continue his studies. Chu Xiong, who lived in the school dormitory every day, gradually lost contact with him."

"Later, Chu Xiong started his own business when he was in college. One day, he met Lu Biao, who worked as a brick maker, outside. From that time on, he always kept Lu Biao by his side. Even though Lu Biao was just a person with no education and no ability, and it was difficult for him to provide any help, Chu Xiong always treated him well, just because they were good friends since childhood."

"Later, Chu Xiong's business grew bigger and bigger. He wanted Lu Biao to join the company as a manager, but Lu Biao refused and only said that he would be his driver. It was because of this incident that Chu Xiong completely regarded him as his confidant. He never avoided him no matter whether it was big or small, and even personally arranged his wedding for him."

"A few years after Lu Biao got married, his wife gave birth to a boy, and Lu Biao named him Lu Yang... Chu Xiong told me everything about Lu Biao when I was still in China. I thought Lu Biao was a good person. Although he was ordinary, he was honest and loyal. It was not until I saw Chu Yang's photo on the Internet that I realized that he looked so similar to Lu Biao. There was no doubt that he was Lu Yang, but he had changed his last name at that time..."

By this point, Cui Ying had already understood the whole story, but there were still many things she didn't understand, such as how Lu Biao was doing now, and when Chu Xiong adopted Lu Yang as his adopted son and changed his name to Chu Yang.

Qin Luo answered her question: "Not long after you left, Chu Xiong encountered an assassination attempt. Lu Biao blocked a bullet for him and died on the spot. Lu Yang was also adopted as Chu Xiong's son afterwards."

Hearing this, Cui Ying seemed a little confused. She obviously didn't expect that Lu Biao was already dead, and the assassination incident obviously made her think of a lot of things. Her face changed again and again.

As for Qin Luo, he has now basically figured out the whole picture of the matter.

Lu Biao and Chu Xiong are childhood playmates from the same place. Later, Chu Xiong became successful while Lu Biao was mediocre. Chu Xiong gave Lu Biao a bowl of rice out of their old friendship. Lu Biao also behaved honestly and thus gained Chu Xiong's closeness and trust. However, he was secretly playing a big game in his heart.

Perhaps he felt that the world was unfair, or perhaps he simply had evil ambitions - in short, Lu Biao must have had the intention of usurping the throne from the very beginning.

If you think about it carefully, the assassination against Chu Xiong was most likely arranged in advance by Lu Biao. The target of those assassins was probably not Chu Xiong but Lu Biao from the beginning, and he gave his life just to increase the bargaining chips for his son to ascend to the throne.

To be honest, Qin Luo found this a little difficult to understand. After all, even if he wanted to completely gain Chu Xiong's trust, there was no need to kill himself. But the fact was that Lu Biao was indeed dead...

Hmm? No, I don't know Lu Biao, and I have never seen him or his body. All the information I have is from other people. How can I be sure that Lu Biao is really dead?

Also, Chu Xiong's current situation is very similar to Cui Ying's when he first came to the United States. He has obviously been imprisoned and controlled by Chu Yang. But the key issue is that he was assassinated and recognized Chu Yang as his adopted son more than ten years ago. At that time, Chu Yang was only about ten years old at most. If Lu Biao hadn't died, how could he control Chu Xiong with just a ten-year-old child?

Did Lu Biao have arranged everything before he died, or was he not dead at all?

Originally, he thought that the context of the matter had been clear at this point, but Qin Luo suddenly found that this matter seemed to be worthy of further investigation, so much so that he frowned unconsciously.

Cui Ying was obviously a smart person. When she learned that Lu Biao had died on the spot after helping to block the bullet when Chu Xiong was assassinated, she thought of the same thing as Qin Luo and immediately said in disbelief, "Could it be that Lu Biao is not dead? For so many years, he has been using some means to control Chu Xiong and secretly help Lu Yang get to the top?"

It was obvious that she hated Lu Biao and Chu Yang so much that she was unwilling to acknowledge the name Chu Yang and had to emphasize that it was Lu Yang when she spoke.

"That's possible," Qin Luo nodded, and then asked another question: "There's another thing I'm curious about. When did you find out that you were no longer under surveillance?" "Today, to be precise, it was this morning, after you and my two daughters landed in Los Angeles."

Cui Ying explained slowly, "Recently, news about you has spread all over the world. I was surfing the Internet a while ago and happened to hear that there was a young genius like you in China. You are at the forefront of the world and have developed virtual reality technology. After I knew about this, I was curious so I searched for your information on the Internet, but I didn't expect..."

"did not expect?"

"I didn't expect to see photos of you and my two daughters, and a few other girls standing with you."

Qin Luo: "..."

Ever since he became famous because of those songs during the summer vacation, Qin Luo has been involved in almost constant scandals, especially the one between him and Yao Yanyan. Qin Luo has never paid much attention to it. After all, he is still single in the public's perception, and even if he occasionally goes out with a few girls, he will not do anything out of line in public.

But having said that, the "rumor" that he had multiple girlfriends has quietly spread, but as he is now famous all over the world, not many people care about those little gossips anymore.

However, for Cui Ying, she obviously could not treat that as a trivial gossip, after all, her daughter was involved in this matter.

Still two!

Qin Luo's attitude towards Cui Ying was originally quite cold, and could even be described as bad at the beginning, but now the misunderstanding has been resolved - although he did not completely believe Cui Ying's words and thought about verifying it later, he actually regarded her as his future mother-in-law in his heart.

Now that my mother-in-law has brought up my relationship issues with her daughter so directly, to be honest, I feel a little embarrassed.

However, Cui Ying was obviously open-minded. She guessed Qin Luo's psychological activities and said immediately: "Don't be embarrassed. I don't mean to blame you. When I was young, a man having multiple girlfriends was a symbol of wealth and status... although this is very abnormal."

"Also, although I belong to Xiaojin and Liunian, they probably think of me as their enemy now. I failed to protect them and stay with them, and I failed to fulfill my responsibilities and obligations as a mother over the years. So I have no right or status to blame you for anything."

Qin Luo shook his head: "Since you have no choice, there is no need to blame yourself too much."

Cui Ying smiled bitterly and continued with the business she was just doing, "After seeing the photo of you and my daughter, I started searching for news about you. Until today, I was staying at home, but the TV was flooded with news and photos about you."

"In the photo, you are standing on the stairs of a big ship, with Xiaojin and Liunian beside you... When I thought of my daughter coming to Los Angeles, I couldn't control my emotions for a moment. I thought to myself that I must see them again no matter what, because I didn't know if there would be another chance. I thought that if I could only see them this time, I would not mind dying."

"But I didn't expect that the cars that had been parked in front of the house for more than ten years disappeared without a trace. When I left, no one from the house next door followed me. I didn't think too much about it at the time. I just thought they were negligent. I didn't even care to be happy and just took a taxi and left."

"But after I got in the car, I didn't know where to go, so I had to let the driver take me around, while I searched for information about you online, such as which hotel you stayed in and where you were hanging out. Unfortunately, there was no such information online... I was very disappointed and sad at the time, thinking that I might miss the opportunity to meet my daughter, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that those who were monitoring me didn't seem to be simply negligent, but had really disappeared."

"They were negligent when I tried to escape before, but unfortunately they caught up with me in less than ten minutes each time. But today they never showed up. I stayed outside until the evening. Just now, I received a call from someone who claimed to be an old employee of the Chu Group. He told me that you and Xiaojin Liunian were here, and said that I could see you as long as I came. Then he hung up the phone."

"My first reaction was that this was a trap set by those who were monitoring me, but I also hoped that this was true, so I came anyway, and then..."

"And you came in unimpeded?" Qin Luo's expression was a little strange: "No one stopped you outside?"

Cui Ying shook her head. “No, they acted like they knew me. Even though they didn’t know my face, they were very respectful to me after I told them my name.”

"It seems the problem lies with the person who called you. Is it a man or a woman?"

"I don't know. He seemed to have used a voice changer, so it sounded electronic. But he obviously knew my situation. Since he didn't arrest me but directed me to find you, that should mean he's not a bad guy, right?"

That may not be the case... Qin Luo subconsciously wanted to blurt out the words, but considering Cui Ying's situation over the years and her mood at the moment, he finally swallowed the four words back.

After a brief thought, he said softly, "I will find the person who called you. Before that, you can find a hotel to stay in, or go back to Chu Xiong directly. The control over you in the past few years was undoubtedly arranged by Lu Biao. Now Chu Yang can no longer cause any trouble. I guess this is also the reason why he withdrew the surveillance on you, so you don't need to worry about your safety anymore."

Cui Ying nodded first, then asked with some struggle and expectation: "Can I... meet them?"

Qin Luo subconsciously looked at the two sisters who were looking for food in the distance and shook his head: "Let's not do it for now."

When Cui Ying heard this, her heart was immediately filled with disappointment, but she also knew that the reunion with her two daughters was not something that could be done by just rushing over and explaining what happened back then.

She needs to calm down now, and Qin Luo also needs to prepare the two sisters mentally in advance.

They have reached a tacit understanding on this matter. (End of this chapter)
