Chapter 22: Chapter 22 Lin Ruoxi’s Misunderstanding

Su Luo directly blocked Dong Fei’s number and then put away his phone.

"Could it be that the Dong Family has already made contact with Lin Jiangpu?"

Su Luo pondered in his heart.

He was certain that Dong Yunhua’s invitation was definitely a trap.

After all, with Lin Wu’s death shrouded in mystery, no one could be sure whether it was murder. Under such circumstances, how could the Dong Family be so confident?

Other than finding someone more capable than Lin Wu to take a stand against him, Su Luo couldn’t think of any other possibility.

Combining the two, the likelihood that the Dong Family had reached out to Lin Jiangpu was the greatest.

"Unfortunately, I don’t have Aunt Shen’s contact information, nor can I just go looking for her, otherwise, I could have inquired about Jiangbei’s Top Ten experts."

Su Luo sighed.

He could only rely on the patient of Elder Wei at Huichuntang to gather information about Jiangbei’s Top Ten experts.

Even if he wanted to retrieve the transfer agreement for the Su Family Ancestral House, Su Luo would wait until he had a clear understanding of Lin Jiangpu’s strength before making a move; he couldn’t afford to take risks blindly.

In his cautiousness, Su Luo continued his cultivation in secret.

Soon, the appointed time for his meeting with Elder Wei at Huichuntang arrived.

"Earth’s nature’s spiritual energy is just too sparse. After another full two days, the True Qi in my body has grown only a little. If I continue to cultivate like this, breaking through to the Fourth Level of Qi Refinement would take at least three to five years. It seems I need to find ways to make more money to acquire more medicinal materials and use alchemy to aid in my cultivation."

Su Luo sighed. The Spiritual Energy on Earth was too thin and insufficient to support his cultivation.

Fortunately, as long as he helped Elder Wei by treating and healing people, he would quickly earn another million.

Su Luo first returned to the Su Family Ancestral House to use some leftover medicinal materials to refine a few Tempering Pills, before heading to Huichuntang.

Wanting to save money and buy more medicinal materials for alchemy and cultivation, Su Luo opted to take the public bus.

"Using medicinal materials worth a million to make over twenty Qi Replenishing Pills allowed me to successfully advance to the initial stage of the Third Level of Qi Refinement. To break through to the Fourth Level, this next million for buying materials might not be enough; I’ll have to think of other ways to make money."

Sitting on the bus, Su Luo quietly thought about how he could acquire a large sum of money.

Suddenly, a faint scent wafted over, attracting Su Luo’s attention.

Only then did he notice that a tall woman with a cool demeanor had appeared beside him at some point, and even from just seeing her profile, he could tell she was definitely beautiful.

The delicate fragrance also seemed to emanate from her, and it was very pleasant.

"Is this her natural scent, or is she wearing some perfume?"

Su Luo couldn’t help but wonder inwardly, which also triggered his memories of Shen Qingzhi.

Shen Qingzhi had a subtle natural fragrance and, coupled with her voluptuous figure and mature charm, she was like poison, drawing Su Luo in.

But soon, Su Luo was taken aback.

"Lin Ruoxi?"

As the woman turned to look out the window, Su Luo got a clear view of her face, which took him by surprise.

Lin Ruoxi was none other than the CEO of Qingxi Group and Shen Qingzhi’s close friend, a bona fide beauty with wealth and status. Her usual attire and lifestyle reflected her attention to detail.

Why would such a goddess, rich and beautiful with high status, be riding a public bus?

Little did he know, at that moment, Lin Ruoxi was in a terrible mood.

She was in a hurry to the airport to pick up a doctor invited from abroad at great expense to treat her grandfather’s heart disease, but she ran into a major traffic jam on the second ring’s elevated road. As time was running short, she had her driver wait while she took the express bus, which had a dedicated lane, to rush to the airport.

Who would have known that the bus would not only have no seats available but also be so crowded that it made her very uncomfortable?

As if that wasn’t bad enough, a man sitting nearby kept sizing her up with his gaze, making her feel violated, adding a physiological discomfort to her ordeal, and the worst part was that she couldn’t even say anything about it.

In such a situation, how could Lin Ruoxi’s mood be any good!

"Should I give up my seat?"

Su Luo was somewhat conflicted.

It wasn’t because Lin Ruoxi was the beautiful CEO of his company, but rather because of her relationship with Shen Qingzhi. Lin Ruoxi was a close friend of Aunt Shen, and since Aunt Shen was his woman, taking care of this beautiful CEO seemed quite reasonable, right?

After all, Su Luo could see that Lin Ruoxi’s brows were tightly furrowed, as if she was really not accustomed to the cramped environment on the bus.

From another angle, Aunt Shen was the type of woman with a milf appeal, mature and charming, while Lin Ruoxi was an ice queen, with an older sister vibe.

Su Luo quite liked both types of women.

It must be the so-called love for the house extends to the crows on its roof, even if it was for the dirty thought he had when he once saw Aunt Shen kissing her, Su Luo did not want Lin Ruoxi to be touched by other men on this bus.

"Um..."

Su Luo was just about to speak up and offer his seat to Lin Ruoxi.

At that moment, Su Luo noticed a sleazy man eagerly squeezing toward Lin Ruoxi, with a malicious smile on his face, obviously intending to take advantage of the crowd to cop a feel.

Su Luo was quick to react; he reached out instantly, grabbed the man’s outstretched hand, and prevented him from touching Lin Ruoxi.

But...

Su Luo overlooked one thing.

By reaching out his hand, he had indeed stopped the sleazy man, but his own arm inevitably touched Lin Ruoxi.

And it was her hip.

Lin Ruoxi’s complexion changed drastically, and as she sidestepped, her eyes also turned icy cold, her voice filled with a chilly undertone, "What are you doing?"

"I..." Su Luo was taken aback, and he could only explain helplessly, "If I say I was stopping a pervert from harassing you, would you believe me?"

"Do you think I would believe you?" Lin Ruoxi glared at Su Luo, the air around them seeming to drop a few degrees.

The sleazy man took the opportunity to withdraw his hand, pointing at Su Luo and reversing the blame, "Beauty, I just saw it was him who was reaching out for a grope, you should be careful not to let him take advantage of you."

The crowd looked at Su Luo with disdain, as if they were on the verge of collectively denouncing him.

Lin Ruoxi gave Su Luo a disgusted glance, and as much as she could, she tried to move away from him.

However, just as Lin Ruoxi was shifting her balance, the bus suddenly braked harshly, causing a jolt.

Off-balance, Lin Ruoxi swayed and involuntarily fell towards Su Luo, and coincidentally ended up in his arms.

Su Luo instinctively extended a hand and wrapped it around her waist to prevent her from falling.

But as she sat in his arms, the fleeting wonderful touch also inevitably provoked a reaction in Su Luo, a man in the prime of youth.

A surge of embarrassment and anger washed over Lin Ruoxi’s cheeks.

"This time, it really wasn’t my fault," Su Luo hurriedly explained.

But in response, Lin Ruoxi, who quickly got up, raised her hand and fiercely aimed a slap at him. If Su Luo hadn’t dodged quickly enough, that slap would have landed squarely on his face.

"Are you being reasonable? It was you who fell onto me. I was just holding you to keep you from falling. No good deed goes unpunished?" Su Luo said irritably.

"You shameless rogue," Lin Ruoxi was in no mood to listen to his explanations at that moment, her delicate face flushed with embarrassment and anger.
