C14 The Investigation Is Done

On the evening drive back to Uncle Chen Jun's house, I was once again in Chen Miaomiao's car. Throughout the ride, Chen Miaomiao remained silent, occasionally sneering at Chu Chenglong with a cold laugh.

Chu Chenglong couldn't figure out what he had done to earn such hatred from Miaomiao. "Miaomiao, please don't be angry. What can I do to make you happy?" he asked.

At his words, Chen Miaomiao's anger intensified. She looked at Chu Chenglong with contempt and mocked, "Oh, you could go find some little tramp to upset me. That would surely make me stop being angry!"

She had endured more aggravation today at Seashore than she had in her entire life, and she blamed it all on Chu Chenglong. "You're talking about Wang Yunuo? She's not what you think. She is a..."

Chu Chenglong tried to explain, but Chen Miaomiao cut him off sharply. "I don't want to hear it! I don't want to hear a single word from you. You've been nothing but a liar from the start, and you make me sick! Do you know who that man was today? He's a true War God. You're not even fit to tie his shoelaces!"

When she spoke of Lu Ling, a smile flickered across Chen Miaomiao's face, but to Chu Chenglong, it seemed icy.

Chen Miaomiao went on, "He's already confessed his feelings to me sincerely. He'll be coming to our house to propose soon. With just a word, he can elevate the Chen family to new heights, turning us into a trillion-dollar mega-corporation. Then my father will have no choice but to send you packing!"

Chu Chenglong simply nodded.

After a pause, he remarked, "Are you referring to the guy who lost at bowling today and ended up whimpering on the ground like a dog?"

Chu Chenglong didn't bother to remember Lu Ling's name. He didn't deem him worthy.

"Does he deserve to be called the War God? Miaomiao, don't let him deceive you. He's nothing but a lowlife!" Lu Ling had been practically drooling over Wang Yunuo, even boldly claiming Chen Miaomiao as his sister. But what did that amount to in the end?

He abruptly announced his intention to propose to the Chen family.

Could anyone even consider such a move?

Chen Miaomiao was clearly deluded, utterly deceived by Lu Ling's sweet talk!

"Shut up!"

Chen Miaomiao was shaking with rage.

She raised her hand, pointing a trembling finger at Chu Chenglong.

"Driver!"

"Stop the car!"

"You, get out! You're banned from my car from now on! Take a cab back for all I care!"

Chen Miaomiao was convinced that Chu Chenglong was merely trying to demean Lu Ling to elevate his own standing.

She was baffled.

How could such a loser have the audacity to attempt this?

Lu Ling was the genuine War God of the battlefield.

He was a nobody.

Heaven and earth apart.

Lu Ling was an unstoppable force in the war zone, slaying enemies in droves.

And him? Just a worthless braggart at home, utterly nauseating!

After seething for a while, Chen Miaomiao finally picked up the phone to call Lee Moxue.

She poured out the day's events and her frustrations.

Lee Moxue's voice came through the phone.

"What? Who gave him the nerve to insult Lu Ling, the War God? Well, Chu Chenglong, nothing but a spineless wretch, dares to pull such a stunt. My dear daughter, just wait a few more days. I have a plan to deal with him properly. Let him strut around a bit longer..."

Meanwhile, Chu Chenglong stepped out of the car and walked along the road, consumed by annoyance.

He couldn't fathom why Chen Miaomiao detested him so.

Just then, a limited-edition supercar pulled up beside him.

Wang Yunuo rolled down the window, resting her arm on it, "Don't you want to change all this? With your talents, you could have so much, and many would bow down to you!"

Bow down to him?

Chu Chenglong shook his head.

He had already reached that level!

But what good was it if he couldn't even win over his own family?

Seeing Chu Chenglong's head shake, Wang Yunuo mistakenly thought he lacked the courage to achieve the status she described.

Indeed, reaching that level is possible, but the difficulty is extremely high. One must have ample courage. Yet, Wang Yunuo wasn't in a rush. She offered, "Get in, I'll take you to the Chen family."

Chu Chenglong nodded his appreciation. "Thank you."

He reflected for a moment. Wang Yunuo had been personally driving him quite a few times recently, and expressing gratitude was certainly appropriate.

Wang Yunuo flashed a stunning smile, "No problem, little cutie!"

Her smile had the power to captivate a nation.

After dropping Chu Chenglong off at the villa area, Wang Yunuo waited a bit before driving in herself. She had been planning to keep an eye on the Chen family, so she hadn't mentioned to Chu Chenglong that she had purchased a villa in the prestigious Longchang Villas.

This particular villa was situated at the highest point of the development, a veritable king among villas. Her intention was to eventually gift it to Chu Chenglong.

Upon her return to the villa, her secretary was already waiting.

"Miss Wang, about tomorrow..." the secretary began.

Wang Yunuo, feeling a headache coming on, cut him off, "Clear my schedule for the time being. And the investigation I asked you to conduct—what have you found?"

The secretary replied promptly, "The investigation is complete. The Chen family hasn't made any significant moves. The only activity is Lee Moxue, who recently traveled to Xotwell to negotiate a project that could net her hundreds of billions in profits. The target company is Comobad."

Wang Yunuo listened, intrigued. "Oh? Lee Moxue is quite the formidable character. However, she's of no concern to me..."

"Also," the secretary continued, "today we intercepted a phone call between Lee Moxue and her daughter, Chen Miaomiao. Here's the recording of the entire conversation."

Wang Yunuo listened intently.

Afterward, a pensive look crossed her face. "Keep a close watch on Lee Moxue; she's now relevant to my interests. And the Comobad Group in Xotwell... interesting. Prepare the jet; we're heading to Xotwell!"

Next, she had a hunch that Lee Moxue would surely concoct a pretext to send Chu Chenglong to Xotwell. She just felt it in her bones!

When that time came, she'd have plenty of tricks up her sleeve to handle Lee Moxue!

Upon returning to Uncle Chen Jun's house, Chu Chenglong walked in on Chen Miaomiao airing her grievances to Chen Jun!

But the tale of woe she spun was a creatively altered version, far from the truth!

"Dad, can't you do something about Chu Chenglong? He's really crossed the line this time!"

She clung to Chen Jun's arm, looking utterly forlorn: "Today, my good friend and I were bowling, and Chu Chenglong sabotaged us, making us lose. He even had us get down on the ground and imitate puppies barking!"

Chen Jun burst into hearty laughter upon hearing this: "Hahaha! My dear, naive daughter, Chu Chenglong was clearly just teasing you. He's not a bad kid! You should forgive him, you know?"
