Shen Qingzhi’s brows furrowed slightly, and eventually, she grabbed her mobile phone and dialed a string of numbers.
Soon.
The call was connected.
"Su Luo, Zhou Shihao has broken off with Dragon Soul Chamber of Commerce. The Grandmaster from Dragon Soul Chamber of Commerce left overnight. I’m imprisoned in a room by Zhou Shihao; tonight is the best chance. I hope you can come and save me," Shen Qingzhi said.
Shen Qingzhi spoke.
"Okay, I’ll come right away," a voice came from the other end of the phone.
After that, the call was disconnected.
Zhou Shihao snatched the mobile phone and checked it, confirming that Shen Qingzhi had indeed called Su Luo. Satisfied, he nodded, "A wise man submits to circumstances!"
Shen Qingzhi’s cold voice said, "I’ve told Su Luo as you asked. Shouldn’t you also order the cancellation of the plan to attack the Lin Family?"
Zhou Shihao glanced at her and dialed a number on his own mobile phone, saying, "Hold off on any actions for now. I’ll decide what to do once I’ve captured Su Luo!"
"Zhou Shihao, I hope you keep your word," Shen Qingzhi huffed coldly. She went to the window, opened it to let the breeze in, and stood there, her back to Zhou Shihao, facing the wind.
Yet, she wondered if Su Luo could take the hint and manage to leave through the window without alerting Zhou Shihao.
"It seems that Su Luo isn’t as important to you as Rose, Lin Ruoxi, or your Shen Family members," Zhou Shihao had made arrangements and now he was relaxed, speaking in a tone that was both mocking and non-mocking.
Shen Qingzhi turned around, deliberately provoking Zhou Shihao to distract him and create an opportunity for Su Luo, "Do you know why I went to bed with Su Luo?"
As the topic came up, the mocking expression on Zhou Shihao’s face gradually faded and turned gloomy.
"Why?" Zhou Shihao finally asked.
"Because I’ve had enough! I wanted to make you a cuckold, to become the laughingstock of the whole Jiangbei. I certainly didn’t expect to accidentally ruin your career. What an unexpected pleasure!" The expression on Shen Qingzhi’s face was one of extreme satisfaction.
Zhou Shihao had thought that Shen Qingzhi and Su Luo had some sort of affair.
But now, Shen Qingzhi was telling him it was just to deliberately make him a cuckold? That was the reason for their private affair?
And it had ruined his plans.
"You’re looking for death," Zhou Shihao raged, he immediately slapped Shen Qingzhi.
The slap was so powerful that it even carried a fierce wind.
If it landed on Shen Qingzhi’s face, it would surely make her face swell up instantly.
But Shen Qingzhi did not show any intention to dodge.
She had been holding these words in her heart for a long time and finally spoke them out, feeling an unprecedented sense of freedom. Moreover, she had succeeded in enraging Zhou Shihao, focusing all his attention and anger on herself.
Even if Su Luo made some noise now, Zhou Shihao might not be able to respond.
However.
Just as his slap was about to land, a hand suddenly grabbed his wrist, preventing the slap from truly hitting Shen Qingzhi’s face.
"Su Luo?"
Zhou Shihao was instantly shocked.
Unbeknownst to him, Su Luo had already appeared at his side.
"Bang!"
Su Luo grabbed Zhou Shihao’s hand, flipping him over and kicking him hard in the body. Zhou Shihao was sent flying and smashed into the bathroom wall, causing it to collapse.
"Su Luo, you..."
Shen Qingzhi was also shocked. She didn’t expect Su Luo to reveal himself, exposing his whereabouts, which basically nullified her plan.
However, before she could say more, Su Luo interjected, "First, I couldn’t just watch him hit you and leave; second, Zhou Shihao’s men have already found out that someone has broken in."
He had knocked out a bodyguard, put on the man’s clothes, and disguised himself to successfully evade the biometric security zone and enter Zhou Mansion.
He entered and ran to Shen Qingzhi’s room.
Naturally, the patrolling bodyguards would soon realize that one of them was missing.
Su Luo had just used his Divine Sense in secret to probe the situation in the courtyard when he discovered that the bodyguards had already noticed the missing person and were searching; moreover, they had reported it.
Two Great Grandmasters had already taken action.
Seeing that they were heading right for this room, Su Luo had to leave immediately.
Therefore, he had no choice but to save Shen Qingzhi and leave with her.
"Swoosh!"
Su Luo, holding Shen Qingzhi, charged towards the window. At the same time, he flicked his fingers, and a burst of force shot out from his fingertips like a bullet from a gun, precisely aiming for Zhou Shihao’s head.
He had to make sure that Zhou Shihao was dead.
However.
Just at that moment, a figure suddenly rushed in; a knife cut through the air, transforming into a stream of light, headed straight for Su Luo and Shen Qingzhi. With his other hand, he crushed the burst of force Su Luo had launched into nothingness in mid-air.
"Mr. Zhou, are you alright?"
Despite saying that, Zhuo Qingfeng didn’t have time to check on Zhou Shihao. Instead, he immediately charged towards the window.
Because.
His strike had missed.
Su Luo and Shen Qingzhi had already smashed through the window and fled the room.
Chen Lihua was a step slower and entered the room.
"Shihao, how are you?" she looked at Zhou Shihao.
Zhou Shihao, propping himself up, spat out a mouthful of bruised blood and gritted his teeth, "I’m fine. I wore the Golden Silk Armor; blades and spears cannot penetrate it. I won’t die."
"That’s good. This elixir is for healing internal injuries. You can take it." After handing the elixir to Zhou Shihao, Chen Lihua’s figure flashed like an arrow released from a bow as she instantly also hurried out.
...
Su Luo, carrying Shen Qingzhi, smashed through the glass window and burst out.
Even though he was holding Shen Qingzhi, his landing was extremely light.
In just an instant, he held Shen Qingzhi, employed the Phantom Step technique, and darted towards the outside of Zhou Mansion like a ghost.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Immediately, gunshots rang out like thunder, as numerous bodyguards drew their guns and opened fire.
However, with the aid of Divine Sense and Phantom Step, Su Luo’s speed was incredibly fast, dodging all the bullets without so much as a scratch on himself or Shen Qingzhi, and he rushed out of Zhou Mansion with her in his arms.
"Invisibility!"
And the moment they burst out of the electronic bio-detection zone, Su Luo also took out an Invisibility Talisman he had prepared in advance from his Storage Ring and directly affixed it to Shen Qingzhi’s body.
In an instant, both of them entered an invisible state.
"Where are they?"
Zhuo Qingfeng, who was closely following behind, had a slight change in expression; he had clearly seen Su Luo and Shen Qingzhi right there—how could they disappear in an instant? Even with great speed, they couldn’t just vanish instantaneously.
"This way."
However, the very next moment, Chen Lihua arrived and immediately pointed in one direction.
"Sister Chen, how do you know?"
Zhuo Qingfeng asked.
"The first time I made contact with Shen Qingzhi, I planted a Tracking Gu Worm on her to ensure we could follow them," Chen Lihua said.
