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

Li Mei did not keep Qin Luo waiting for long. She entered the bar and found Qin Luo within fifteen minutes after receiving the call.

"Mr. Qin, what's the matter so late?"

Li Mei remained respectful and calm, but her slightly trembling eyes revealed her inner unrest.

In fact, Qin Luo was quite surprised that she could appear here. After all, in Qin Luo's opinion, after receiving the call, this woman would definitely think that her contact with Cui Ying was exposed, and she would probably run away secretly in order to protect herself.

Qin Luo had also prepared countermeasures in this regard, but Li Mei showed up as promised, which could only mean that she was either a fool with a strong sense of luck, or her secret was not enough to put her in danger.

"Sit down," Qin Luo pointed to the seat opposite him and said calmly, "Don't be nervous. I'll ask you a few questions. You just need to answer truthfully. I only have one request. Don't hide anything."

Hearing this, Li Mei's hope was instantly gone. She lowered her head as she sat down and said, "Yes."

"Do you know Cui Ying?"

"know."

"when."

"I've known her since the beginning. She's Chairman Chu Xiong's wife. I had just joined the Chu Group when they got married. Later, the group established a branch in Los Angeles, and I was transferred here along with the others. Three years ago, I was appointed as the head of the Chu Group's Los Angeles branch."

Knowing that she was exposed, confessing was obviously the best option. Li Mei was also obviously a smart person. She told a lot of things about herself without waiting for Qin Luo to continue asking questions.

Qin Luo nodded in satisfaction, tapping the table with his right hand, and said leisurely: "I have checked your information, and it is basically consistent with what you said. You did not hide it from me in this regard, but there is one thing I am very curious about. The Chu Group is full of elites and talents. In comparison, your resume is not outstanding. In this case, how did you get appointed as the head of the Los Angeles branch?"

After a pause, he smiled and said, "You know, the Los Angeles branch is an important branch of the Chu Group in the United States. It is as valuable as any other company with a market value of tens of billions. How did you get to where you are now without any background or connections?"

When she heard this, a drop of cold sweat broke out on Li Mei's forehead.

It was clearly the first time that he met Qin Luo today, but he was able to find out all this in such a short time - Li Mei had originally intended to conceal some of the information, but now it seems that intentional concealment will only lead to more serious consequences.

So Li Mei exhaled, lowered her head and said, "You don't need to test me. I'll tell you everything. It was about the fifth year since I came to Los Angeles. I was given a task, which was to join the team that monitored Cui Ying."

"At that time, I found this matter a little unbelievable. I couldn't understand why the chairman's wife was driven here, and I didn't know why the group wanted to monitor the chairman's wife. I asked the person in charge of the monitoring team at that time, but he told me that this was an order from the chairman and that as long as I agreed, my life would get better and better."

"I couldn't resist the temptation and chose to agree. I worked there for more than ten years. During that time, I gradually replaced the original head of the surveillance team and my position in the Los Angeles branch became higher and higher. Until three years ago, I was promoted to the general manager of the Los Angeles branch..."

After a pause, Li Mei added as if to excuse herself: "Although we have been monitoring the chairman's wife, we have never done anything bad to her. Not only do we give her a large sum of money every month, but we also secretly help her deal with any troubles she encounters."

"Our only mission is actually two points. One is to make sure she doesn't leave Los Angeles, and the other is to make sure she doesn't come into contact with anyone in the country. I personally didn't know the significance of this mission at first. I just guessed that the wife might have known some secret of the chairman, so she was sent here by the chairman to be monitored. It was not until Chu Yang took over as the CEO of the group that I realized that the person who sent the wife here and asked us to monitor her was not Mayor Chu, but someone else."

Li Mei said a lot in one breath. After she finished speaking, she felt a little dry in the mouth and subconsciously glanced at the glass of whiskey on the table.

Seeing this, Qin Luo raised his hand and snapped his fingers: “Hello, have a cup of the same.”

The waiter said respectfully, "No problem sir."

Not long after, the waiter brought another glass of whiskey.

Li Mei drank half a cup in one breath due to dry mouth and psychological pressure, and her face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After putting down the cup, she took a long breath and said softly, "Thank you."

"You're welcome," Qin Luo said calmly, "Let's continue with the previous topic. According to what you said, you initially thought that the person who ordered you to monitor Cui Ying was Chu Xiong. It was not until a few years ago that Chu Yang took over as the executive president of the Chu Group that you knew who was behind all this?"

Li Mei nodded: "Yes, but this is just my guess, because I don't have any direct evidence. It's just a reasonable inference made from various aspects. After all, only the company's senior management can promote me. I became the general manager of the Los Angeles branch after Chu Yang took over as the executive president. This also made me realize that the fact that he was adopted as the adopted son of President Chu may not be simple. It's just that I am not qualified and have no interest in delving into it."

Qin Luo looked straight into her eyes, and his plain words revealed an irresistible sense of oppression: "Tell the truth (command)."

His voice seemed to have some kind of magic power, which made Li Mei unable to think of hiding anything. She lowered her head again after just raising it for a while: "I dare not hide it from you. I am absolutely telling the truth."

It doesn’t look fake, but to be on the safe side, I’ll take another look.

Qin Luo thought in his heart and asked again: "Do you know Lu Biao?"

"I know him," Li Mei responded immediately, "He is Mr. Chu's driver. When Mr. Chu was assassinated, he helped Mr. Chu block a bullet and saved him. This is not a secret. I know him because of this incident."

"Other than that?"

"That's all I know about him. I don't know anything else."

"Tell the truth (command)."

"I dare not hide it from you."

Li Mei lowered her head even lower.

Qin Luo couldn't help but smack his lips when he saw this. It was obvious that Li Mei was just a tool, so he couldn't get any valuable information from her.

But it doesn't matter. Qin Luo already knows the whole story anyway, and asking her to come out is more to satisfy his curiosity.

So he picked up the glass and took a sip of whiskey, then put aside his previous indifference and said in a casual tone like a good friend chatting with each other: "So what's your situation now?"

Qin Luo's tone relaxed, and the pressure that had been lingering around Li Mei disappeared. Li Mei breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that she would probably be fine, but her attitude was still respectful, and she replied: "I don't know the details, but... about three days ago, all my people who were responsible for closely monitoring my wife lost contact. I tried many ways to find them but couldn't find them, and then I realized that the monitoring of my wife was probably permanently revoked."

At this point, she said in a tone of admiration: "This is undoubtedly due to your friendship with the eldest and second young ladies. Your reputation has spread all over the world. You don't need to wait for the future. Even now, you already have a higher status and position than the entire Chu Group. Chu Yang probably withdrew all his actions in secret because he was afraid that the matter would be exposed and provoke your revenge."

Qin Luo turned a deaf ear to her sudden appearance of horses and just asked, “Are those people under you employees of the Los Angeles branch?”

"Some are, some aren't."

"Have you checked the information?"

"I have checked, but it was only after I checked that I discovered that their identity information was forged from the beginning. Now it's as if they have disappeared from the face of the earth and cannot be found at all. I suspect that they are all people secretly trained by Chu Yang to do dirty work."

Qin Luo nodded, not dwelling on this matter any more, and asked, "Then why did you call Cui Ying today and ask her to come find me?"

"Because..." Li Mei hesitated for a moment, and after a few seconds she said, "Because I can't bear it."

"Can't bear it?" Qin Luo raised his eyebrows.

Li Mei smiled bitterly: "I know you will think that I am being hypocritical when I say this. After all, I have been monitoring Madam for more than ten years. In recent years, I have been in charge of the entire monitoring team. But... it is precisely because of this that I can feel how painful Madam has been all these years."

"I also know about the childhood experiences of the eldest and second young ladies. Many people who don't know the truth think that the lady took the eldest young lady away because of the relationship problems between her and Mr. Chu. But only a few people, including me, know the truth. A three-year-old girl mistakenly thought that her mother wanted to poison her, and the second young lady also had a car accident."

"You can call me hypocritical or sanctimonious, but I do feel a pang of conscience every time I think about the Madam and the two young ladies. In front of outsiders, I may be the glamorous head of the Los Angeles branch of the Chu Group, but you should know that I am just a small person who has been controlled by others for half my life."

"After confirming that my wife was free again, I learned that you and the two young ladies were coming to Los Angeles. The first thing that came to my mind was to facilitate the recognition and reunion of the mother and daughter... But I seemed to be a little too hasty and did not take the feelings of the two young ladies into consideration. In comparison, you have considered it more thoroughly."

Ignoring Li Mei's horse, Qin Luo pondered to himself.

Regardless of whether Lu Biao is still alive, there is no doubt that Chu Yang is the culprit of all things.

Now that he knows the situation is hopeless, he secretly withdraws his hands and feet to try to save himself, which is understandable.

But the problem is that the conflict between the two has long been exposed. No matter how much he tries to find traces, Qin Luo can't pretend that he doesn't exist.

Under such circumstances, he should have crushed the bargaining chips he had and kept Cui Ying under tight control.

But not only did he not do that, he even let Cui Ying go...

Are you bowing your head and begging for forgiveness?
Qin Luo thought not. He had a hunch that Chu Yang was holding back some big move - he had this hunch after his last showdown with Chu Yang, but the other party had been keeping quiet and hadn't made any moves. Now that the situation was hopeless, he should have continued to keep a low profile, but Qin Luo's hunch became even stronger.

I'll deal with you when I get back. It'd be better if your father is really dead. If not, let him die again... Qin Luo thought so, and his usually kind face rarely showed a trace of gloom.

This emotion directed at Chu Yang actually frightened Li Mei. She trembled and said in a panic, "Mr. Qin, I know I have done a lot of wrong things over the years. I don't ask for your forgiveness, but I also hope that you can give me a chance to reform. Please!"

Qin Luo glanced at her and laughed, "Why are you so scared? I didn't say I would do anything to you."

After saying this, he didn't wait for Li Mei to breathe a sigh of relief before saying again: "But I can't pretend that what happened to you in the past never happened. After all, I'm not the victim."

Upon hearing this, Li Mei immediately responded, "Don't worry, I will be honest with Madam. No matter how Madam plans to punish me, I will accept it!"

Qin Luo nodded with satisfaction: "Let's talk about the confession in two days. In the next two days, you will accompany her to walk around and relax. During this time, protect her safety. If she is well, it will be good for you. If she is not well..."

Li Mei was a little afraid to listen further, and quickly said, "I guarantee that I will complete the task!"

……

The night passed peacefully, and the next day, Qin Luo took the two sisters to Universal Studios Hollywood as agreed.

The three of them walked briskly through the bustling streets of Universal Studios Hollywood, surrounded by tall simulated buildings and noisy crowds.

The first thing to come into view is the "Jurassic Park" adventure area, where huge dinosaur models stand lifelike among the lush green vegetation.

Qin Luo held Chu Sijin in his left hand and Chu Chu in his right hand. They rode on the shaking boat together, shuttled through the rapids, and avoided the danger of dinosaur attacks on the shore.

The sisters' moods went up and down, with screams and laughter intertwined. Even after getting off the boat, they were still quite excited and pulled Qin Luo to play for another round.

Only after the second round did the two sisters feel satisfied.

Qin Luo then took them for a stroll in the virtual world of The Simpsons, where the streets and buildings were full of cartoon style, as if they had walked into an animation scene on TV.

Chu Sijin and Chu Chu excitedly took photos with various familiar cartoon characters, while Qin Luo stood patiently by their side, carefully adjusting the best shooting angle for them.

In the afternoon, the sun was scorching the earth. Qin Luo took them for a short rest and came to the speed and passion experience area.

When they got on the simulated racing car, the vehicle kept accelerating and turning under Qin Luo's various operations. The two sisters felt a thrill different from whitewater rafting. Their hearts were pounding non-stop, and their hands were tightly holding Qin Luo's waist from beginning to end.

When they looked up suddenly, the sisters' clear pupils reflected each other's smiling faces, which were full of happiness and joy.

In the evening, they watched a spectacular stunt show and witnessed the secrets behind the movie’s special effects. After dinner, they took a group photo in front of the studio logo under the starlight under the cover of night to capture this wonderful day.

That night, Chu Chu still went to bed early, but Chu Sijin took Qin Luo to a separate room after washing up. (End of this chapter)
