475 Rumors
Fan Peng slapped his head.
âI almost forgot! After the two of us burned the Zhu familyâs ancestral grave, we came back. When we saw that this place had turned into ruins and you didnât come out, I asked Gan Yan to go back and find reinforcements.â
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of killing shook the sky.
âTiancheng, itâs right in front!â Gan Yanâs voice sounded. Letâs attack together!â
!!
The reinforcements that Fan Peng mentioned were only a few people. There were Li Tiancheng and Chu Yanâs underlings.
When the few of them saw that Lu Benwei and Chu Yan were safe and sound, they were all stunned for a moment. Then, they put away all the things in their hands.
âWhen did you guys come out?â Gan Yan asked excitedly.
Fan Peng answered before Lu Benwei could speak, âThey just came out not long ago!â
âLu Benwei, Chu Yan, the Zhu family didnât do anything to you, right?â
Li Tiancheng was quite loyal. After knowing that the other party was from the eight great families, he grabbed his weapons and rushed over.
Lu Benwei was also very touched. He thanked him again and again. Then, the few of them set off on their way back to their respective schools.
On the way, Fan Peng kept complaining. He wondered if the Dragon City Hotel would not pay them their salaries.
âYouâve already burned the Zhu familyâs ancestral grave. Are you afraid of a hotel manager?â Gan Yan teased.
âIf you donât get paid, call me. Weâll burn the ancestral graves of the hotel managers!â
Fan Pengâs face instantly turned red as he waved his hand repeatedly. âDonât mention this matter. Burning peopleâs ancestral graves will have a backlash! In the future, if I meet anyone surnamed Zhu, Iâll have to avoid them!â
Everyone laughed and returned to their respective schools.
â¦
The next day, a cold spring came, and it snowed heavily.
A thick white blanket was laid on the campus of Yanjing Hunter University.
Many students from the south were extremely excited when they saw this. They pulled their roommates along and played around on the field.
At noon, Gan Yan met up with Lu Benwei and Chu Yan. Just as he was eating leisurely, he suddenly heard a few students at the neighboring table discussing what happened in Dragon City Hotel last night.
âHave you heard about what happened at the Dragon City Hotel last night?â
âWhat Dragon City Hotel? Wasnât it a big explosion that blew up the entire Feng City District?â
Feng City District was where the Dragon City Hotel was located.
The aftermath of the battle between Lu Benwei and the Zhu family yesterday affected the entire Feng City District.
The entire Feng City District had turned into ruins. Fortunately, the population of Feng City District was not that large. Coupled with the timely response of the Dragon City officials, there were not many casualties.
The person who first started the topic suddenly felt a little smug and said, âIt was indeed a big explosion in Feng City District.â
âBut, in the entire Feng City District, only the Dragon City Hotel didnât explode. Guess what it is?â
The second person asked, âWhy?â Is the quality of the Dragon City Hotel good?â
The first person wanted to talk big, but he was choked by the second personâs answer. Suddenly, he felt as if his fist had hit cotton.
âAre you stupid? How can it be that the quality of the Dragon City Hotelâs buildings is good?â
âIt must be because the feng shui at Dragon City Hotel is good!â
âFeng shui?â The second person was interested.
âYeah, donât underestimate feng shui. My father is a feng shui master! How about it? Do you want my father to read your fortune and take a look at the feng shui? Since weâre classmates, Iâll give you a 20% discount!â
Gan Yan listened to the conversation between the two and could not help but feel disappointed.
âWhat? Itâs just an advertisement!â Gan Yan smacked his lips and said.
Suddenly, Gan Yan froze.
The feng shui masterâs son glared at Gan Yan. âYouâre the one whoâs advertising! I think you guys are all advertising!â
Lu Benwei and the others were not annoyed that they were being rolled their eyes at for nothing.
âThe commotion last night was so big, but the officials actually didnât have any news at all. It can be seen that the strength of the eight great families is still strong,â Lu Benwei said indifferently.
âThe official factions of the Dragon City are intertwined. There are commanders like Pang Tian who is dependent on the eight great families, and there are also hot-blooded people who are ashamed of colluding with the conservative forces like the great families. But these people are in the minority. In the future, there will be many people who will find trouble with you,â Chu Yan blinked and said to Lu Benwei.
Lu Benwei nodded. Just as he was thinking about how to answer, a warm feeling came from his hand.
âNo matter what, Iâll stand on your side.â Chu Yan pulled Lu Benweiâs hand, a faint light flowing into her eyes.
Gan Yan, who was chewing, opened his mouth wide. He was inexplicably fed a mouthful of dog food.
âI said Iâd eat with you guys, but people laugh at me wherever I go. So, Iâm a third wheel?â
Gan Yan put down his chopsticks, picked up his plate, and went elsewhere to eat.
Lu Benwei and Chu Yan looked at each other and smiled.
Then, Lu Benwei placed his palm on Chu Yanâs palm. âNow that Uncle Chu is in the middle of a battlefield, we have to seize the time to increase our strength and then go rescue him.â
Chu Yan did not know how to answer and could only nod. Compared to her father, there was only one person worth saving. That was Lu Ziling.
Last night, Chu Yan tried her best to establish contact with the logistics team of the Furious Dragon Legion before she went to bed.
The other party told her that although the Furious Dragon Legion was in prison, they were still in a decent situation with Chu Tianxiong and a few other powerful warriors of the Furious Dragon Legion.
Therefore, compared to Chu Tianxiong, Lu Ziling was more worthy of Lu Benweiâs rescue.
âAnnoying fellowâ¦â
After thinking about it, Chu Yan was prepared to tell Lu Benwei this idea.
...
However, the moment she opened her mouth, she realized that Li Tiancheng was sitting next to Lu Benwei.
Lu Benwei started chatting with him.
âThe principal wants me at his office?â
âYes!â Li Tiancheng replied, âAs long as itâs before tonight, you can do it anytime.â
Lu Benwei felt that it was a little mysterious. He frowned and asked, âWhat is it?â
Li Tiancheng also had a mysterious look on his face. âYouâll know when you get there.â
Lu Benwei did not care much and planned to go after dinner.
â¦
Lu Benwei arrived at Chu Bowenâs office at one oâclock in the afternoon. As soon as he entered, Lu Benwei felt a chill.
Chu Bowen opened the door of the sunroom. The white snow reflected the cold sun and the cold air kept entering.
âPrincipal Chu, you were looking for me?â Lu Benwei asked politely.
...
Chu Bowen did not mind the cold. He lay on a rattan chair and swayed.
âLu Benwei, what did you do last night?â
Lu Benwei was not nervous. For a person of such status, he would know at the first moment.
âI went to the Dragon City Hotel. What? Did the Zhu family ask you about me?â
Chu Bowen opened his eyes and sat up from the rattan chair. âNo, but the Yan family has sent someone.â
