Let s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 147: Chapter 147: The Last Day Tycoon (12)

Lu Ran carried water into the bathroom, which had already been cleaned by someone, but he still carefully checked the stalls.

He took off his clothes and quickly washed himself.

When he was leaving, he bumped into two girls who had come to use the toilet together.

Lu Ran turned his face to the side, swiftly adjusted his hat, and quickly left.

“Hey, did you see that? That guy is so pretty.”

“Pretty? You mean handsome, right?”

“No, I mean pretty, like if he didn’t have a flat chest, I would have thought he was a girl.”

“I didn’t notice just now…”

The conversation of the girls behind him made Lu Ran’s face slightly unpleasant.

He didn’t like people talking about him that way.

His face was indeed good-looking, but everyone complimented him as they would a girl, which annoyed him.

“Hey.”

Suddenly, someone rounded the corner and bumped into Lu Ran.

Lu Ran stepped back a few steps, his gaze sweeping over the other person who was clearly very angry, but upon making eye contact with him, he became curiously defiant, “Are you that kept pretty boy of Chuzheng’s?”

Chuzheng… kept pretty boy?

When did he ever get such a title?

The person stroked his chin, “Always wearing a hat, how good-looking can you be? Come on, show your brother.”

As he spoke, the person reached out to lift Lu Ran’s hat.

Slap!

“Ah!”

The man’s hand was struck by a wooden board, instantly swelling up red.

Chuzheng kicked him, looking down from above, “Pretty, huh?”

“You…” the man clutching his hand, his whole arm seemed numb, his teeth clenched, speaking unclearly.

“Miss Chuzheng,” Brother Yong came over after hearing the noise, “What’s going on?”

In modern terms, this person was akin to a foolish daughter of a rich landlord’s family, one who didn’t stir up trouble; there was no need for Brother Yong to offend her.

The Crystal Core was easier to get than something fallen from the sky.

Even if she asked him to treat her like a little ancestor, he would be willing to do so.

“Control your people better, and keep your hands shorter,” Chuzheng tossed away the wooden board in her hand, her eyes icy cold.

The Good Person Card isn’t something you can just touch, is it?

Brother Yong looked at the youth standing a bit behind, wearing a cap, keeping his head down, his face not clearly visible.

He was still damp from the shower, lean but not frail, straight and statuesque as bamboo, with long straight legs in slippers, revealing attractive toes.

Even without seeing his face, one would feel the urge to look a few more times.

Brother Yong then looked at his underling lying on the ground, wailing in pain.

He felt reassured inside.

“Miss Chuzheng, it’s poor discipline on my part, my apologies,” Brother Yong kicked his underling, “Apologize to her.”

With Brother Yong’s kick, the man cowed, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”

“Miss Chuzheng, what do you think?”

“No next time.”

“There won’t be a next time, I promise,” Brother Yong immediately patted his chest, “How about this, in a bit I’ll send some tasty treats over to you, to steady this… young brother’s nerves.”

Chuzheng took the unresponsive Lu Ran’s hand and left.

Did the Good Person Card get scared?

He hasn’t reacted at all for such a long time…

Surely, I can’t let him stray too far from me.

Yes!

That makes sense!

[…] Is the lady’s reasoning just for herself, huh?

After Chuzheng left, Brother Yong kicked his underling again, “Are you sick or something, why stir up trouble with him of all people?”

“I just wanted to see that pretty boy…” the underling felt wronged.

“Look at what? You want to get with him or what? You randy bastard, is your head all messed up?” Brother Yong said, kicking him again a couple times.

The underling clutched his head, “No, Brother Yong… I was just curious, I really was just curious, I didn’t plan to do anything.”

“If there’s a next time, I’ll cripple you.”

Brother Yong was far from pleased, and he sent word down the ranks: no one was to mess with Chuzheng’s people. Anyone who broke the rules would bear the consequences.

There were naturally those in the group who were disgruntled.

“Hey, why is Brother Yong so good to that woman?”

“She’s pretty, isn’t she? Maybe Brother Yong has taken a fancy to her.”

“Pretty, yes, but she’s as cold as ice… Does Brother Yong like that type?”

“Even so, he shouldn’t treat us brothers like this just for a woman, right? We’re the ones who have been through life and death with him!”

“Let it be, stop talking…”

Brother Yong obviously hadn’t told everyone in the team about trading Crystal Cores with Chuzheng.

Thinking about it, it made sense; revealing the number of Crystal Cores to the team would only bring more trouble.

It’s never easy for a leader to make a choice.

Because those below don’t realize how much more comprehensively a leader has to think—they only feel their interests are compromised and become discontent with their leader.

Chuzheng led Lu Ran back to the corner.

Lu Ran seemed to come back to his senses: “What’s your Special Ability?”

“I don’t have a Special Ability.”

“Huh?” Lu Ran cocked his head, his profile bathed in the light, smooth like jade, his eyebrows slightly raised: “No Special Ability?”

The youth’s beautiful starry eyes sparkled, his long lashes fluttered like butterfly wings, and the corners of his lips curved up, exuding an alluring charm.

Chuzheng nodded indifferently: “Mhm.”

Lu Ran: “…” No Special Ability? Who’s going to believe that!

Chuzheng took the hat from his head, and Lu Ran instinctively guarded it: “What are you doing?”

Chuzheng, however, unreasonably grabbed his wrist, forcefully removed the hat, and tossed it aside.

Under Lu Ran’s shocked and complex gaze, Chuzheng put a new hat on his head, her fingertips trailing over his hair, and sighed silently to herself— not soft, really not soft at all.

Chuzheng withdrew her hand expressionlessly: “Aren’t you hot?” Wearing a hat even when it’s hot, that’s just odd.

Lu Ran paused, then shrugged: “I’m too handsome, it causes trouble.”

The hat on his head was a light coffee color, adorned with a cute cat pattern. Without the young man making any effort, it added a touch of cuteness to his appearance.

Chuzheng stared at the cat pattern, pondering something.

Lu Ran had an uneasy intuition: “What’s up?”

“Nothing.” Chuzheng looked away.

“How long are you planning to keep me imprisoned?”

Chuzheng: “Have I treated you badly?”

“…No.” Lu Ran couldn’t deny that she had indeed treated him rather well.

Lu Ran took a deep breath, a hint of dissatisfaction on his fair face: “But that’s not a reason for you to imprison me!”

He was a person!

Not a pet!

It wasn’t him who asked her to save him before.

She was the one who insisted on making him get in the car.

“What will it take for you to let me go?”

“When you think I’m a good person…” Chuzheng hesitated, a flicker of confusion crossing her eyes.

She seemed not quite willing to let the Good Person Card go after he felt she was a good person?

Huh?!

Chuzheng dwelled on the thought for only a few seconds before she moved past it.

If it came down to it, she could simply keep him with her.

“You expect me to think you’re a good person after treating me this way?” Lu Ran scoffed: “Do you think I’m stupid?”

He didn’t have Stockholm syndrome.

“Have I treated you badly?” If it weren’t for the fact that you’re the Good Person Card, acting like this, you would have been dealt with long ago.

“…” It’s not about whether you’ve treated me well or not!

Lu Ran didn’t want to communicate with Chuzheng; talking to her was utterly impossible.

“If you just stay away from me now, I’ll consider you a good person.”

He longed to breathe some fresh air!

Lu Ran had only spoken in jest, but Chuzheng actually stood up and moved to stand aside… Great, she had blocked his escape route.

Unless he could fly, it would be absolutely impossible for him to escape from his current position.
