The Genius System Without Equal Chapter 494

The one thing Xiao Luo hated the most was being threatened, especially by a woman. To begin with, he already had a great dislike for this woman, and now this verbal assault was just making it worse. Irked, Xiao Luo got up and walked to the balcony to get out of earshot. When he got there, he suddenly laughed into the phone and said, “It's been a while since I last saw you, Officer Gu. It seems you haven't changed one bit—you're still as charming as ever!”

“Whether or not I've changed isn't any of your business. I'm warning you to leave my younger sister alone, do you hear me?” Gu Qianlin screamed.

“I'm not going to leave her alone just because you tell me to. Wouldn't it be an insult to my manhood if I just do as you say? Mmm, just so you know, we'll be having a shower later, then we'll probably not put our clothes on when we go to bed. Yes, she'll spend the night with me,” Xiao Luo said with a cruel smile.

“B*stard, I dare you to do that?” Gu Qianlin threatened.

“I don't even have any qualms about killing. Do you think I wouldn't have the guts to bed a woman?” Xiao Luo retorted.

Over the phone, all that could be heard was Gu Qianlin's heaving and puffing. She was outraged and about to explode. But, she couldn't think of anything to say.

This was precisely the outcome Xiao Luo had hoped for, and he still didn't let up. He laughed and said, “Your younger sister is much more feminine than you are. Don't worry, I'll be gentle.”

Having formed a nasty mental picture in Gu Qianlin's mind, Xiao Luo immediately put the phone down without giving Gu Qianlin a chance to say anything. Shallow as it may seem, it still made him feel so much better afterward. He was quite sure that he had gotten under her skin and hoped that she wouldn't be able to sit still. Ideally, she would not be able to even get a wink tonight.

When he turned around, he was shocked to find Gu Qianxue standing right behind him. Her face was slightly red with embarrassment. “Xiao Luo, you… you were deliberately trying to make my sister angry, right?” she said.

Oh-oh, did she hear all the things that he had just said?

Xiao Luo's face turned lobster red. He had only said those things to Gu Qianlin to rile her, but now Gu Qianxue had heard all of it. This had suddenly become terribly awkward.

He coughed in embarrassment and tried to calm himself down. “Yes, you don't have to worry about a thing. I won't do anything to you,” he said.

Gu Qianxue shook her head and said, “I wasn't worried about that.”

“That's good. It's getting late, you should rest early. You can sleep in the bedroom, I'll sleep outside, just call me if anything happens,” Xiao Luo responded, quickly changing the subject.

“Hmm, alright!” Gu Qianxue said, nodding her head.

It rained the entire night without respite, but the next day the sky cleared up. It turned out to be a sunny day, and the air was exceptionally fresh.

Gu Qianxue had recovered well and felt a lot better now, especially after having a good night's rest. She had woken up very early and was already all dressed by six in the morning. She was naturally wearing Su Li's clothes, and they fit her like a glove.

Xiao Luo's plan was to accompany her and bring her on tour around Xiahai City before sending her home later. He still had many things to do and couldn't be by her side every single day. Besides, it was already kind of weird that they were both were living together.

“Xiao Luo, let's head out now,” Gu Qianxue said. She was excited to go out and have some fun and seemed to be really looking forward to it.

“Hmm.”

Xiao Luo nodded his head. After recalling what Su Li had said about their contractual relationship last night, he dropped the idea of informing her and headed out with Gu Qianxue.

“Stand right there!”

As soon as they arrived on the ground floor of Crescent Bay Hotel, a booming voice called out.

From the sofa in the lobby, a man who looked like he was in his mid-thirties stood up and walked toward Xiao Luo at a brisk pace.

The man had a strong military bearing, and it caused Xiao Luo to furrow his eyebrows. “Is there a problem here?” he asked.

“Let me introduce myself. I'm the commander of the Xiahai Military Region, Zhuo Yuze. I have heard that you're strong and skillful, and I'm here to enlist you on behalf of the country,” he said.

“Commander of the Xiahai Military Region?”

Xiao Luo gave the man a critical once over. Then he noticed two rows of soldiers in military fatigues filing in purposefully. Clasping onto their assault rifles, their faces looked grim but not angry. Still, their appearance intimidated the staff of Crescent Bay Hotel.

Suddenly, a familiar-looking man wearing glasses walked in behind the troops. Xiao Luo immediately recognized that he was the very guy who was known as the number one paparazzi in Xiahai—Zhuo Wei. The arm that Xiao Luo had broken the other night was now in a cast and slung across his chest. Xiao Luo immediately realized what was going on here.

Xiao Luo glared at the commander. “What's the relationship between you and him?” he asked.

Zhuo Yuze's eyes glowered, and he replied, “He's my brother.”

“Oh, so that's how it's going to be,” Xiao Luo said.

He gave the man a mocking smile and said, “As a commander, you should be around the rank of senior colonel, correct? You should be about 34 this year. To already achieve the rank of senior colonel when you're only 34… hmm, I bet you climbed your way up through some family connections? Have you ever attended military school? You don't even know how to sit or stand properly, so it seems to me like you got in through the back door.”

“You b*stard, so cocky when you're about to die. Is your brain filled with nothing but sh*t?” Zhuo Wei snarled.

Zhuo Yuze raised his hand, signaling his brother not to say anything. He stared at Xiao Luo with glowering eyes and scowled, “You want to know something? You're the first person who has the guts to speak to me like that.”

“You're also the first person who has the guts to talk to Xiao Luo like that,” Gu Qianxue said, suddenly joining the fray.

Hmm? What an innocent and beautiful looking young girl!

Zhuo Wei's anger-filled eyes glinted when he saw Gu Qianxue. Just you wait, you little girl, once I get rid of this Xiao Luo, I'm going to come and conquer you, he thought to himself.

“Why are you looking at me? Look at me again, and I will gouge your eyeballs out!”

Gu Qianxue hated the lewd look in Zhuo Wei's eyes. She was definitely not the kind of girl who shied away meekly.

“Hahaha…”

Zhuo Yuze laughed crudely and said, “I see… so you're a savage horse! My younger brother loves savage horses because it's going to be so much more enjoyable to ride on one.”

Hearing the commander speak in such a salacious manner, a cold light gleamed in Xiao Luo's eyes. He discreetly scanned his surroundings and analyzed the situation. He took note that there were two platoons of armed soldiers, and they were undoubtedly carrying live ammunition. He decided to hold back as this was not a suitable place for him to take action now.

Gu Qianxue might be innocent, but it was not like she didn't understand what was happening, and her face turned red in anger. As long as Xiao Luo gave her some sort of signal, she would make sure she beat these bunch of people up.

Zhuo Yuze looked at Xiao Luo once again and said, “Let's go, I'm representing the country, and I'm here to recruit you!”

The commander spoke in a casual tone that sounded like there was only one path that Xiao Luo could take.

As long as he recruited Xiao Luo, he could make life difficult for him at any given moment. The commander had been through thick and thin with Zhuo Wei since they were kids and were really close to one another. Since Zhuo Wei was assaulted so severely, he swore that he would make the other person pay a hefty price for it.

“Can I refuse?” Xiao Luo asked, looking at the commander without any defiance. There was no need for him to show anger toward someone who was about to die.

As if he just heard a joke, Zhuo Yuze laughed like a madman and said, “What do you think?”

Zhuo Wei was incensed. “B*stard, to be so cocky just because you're a little capable… You must be the husband of that slutty Su Li. You can't fool me. I've already told you, I'm not someone you should mess around with. You better move while you still can. Otherwise, we'll just drag you along,” he said, and gloated, “The moment my brother gives the order, that slut Su Li upstairs right now will be thrown off the building. It'll be in the headlines tomorrow, and the public will read that the national goddess Su Li had committed suicide after jumping off the building due to depression, hahaha…”

Evidently, someone had already entered Su Li's apartment and was in control of Su Li right now!

Xiao Luo read between the lines and understood this from Zhuo Wei's words. He slowly clenched his fist tightly, and a murderous intent formed from this provocation.

Xiao Luo contained his urge to murder these people outright by complying with the commander's demand for the time being. “Alright, I'll go with you,” he snarled.

“A wise man submits to their fate; I look up to people like you.”

Zhuo Yuze sniggered and said, “Tie him up for me!”

“How dare you?” Gu Qianxue could no longer hold it in. The anger in her body was about to explode.

Xiao Luo checked her aggression. “It's alright, I'll go with them. Please go and have a look at the apartment just opposite of mine. If you happen to see anything dirty, get rid of it for me,” he said. Of course, he meant for her to make sure that Su Li was safe first.

“Yes, come back quickly and bring me out to have fun,” Gu Qianxue said, understanding his intentions.

Zhuo Yuze and Zhuo Wei were not expecting Gu Qianxue to be a martial arts expert and were naturally unaware of the threat she posed. At that moment, all they did was laugh at how innocent she was. To think that she even thought that Xiao Luo would be coming back! But what they didn't know was that they were getting closer and closer toward their own deaths.
