Chapter 453: Four hundred fifty-two, Tomb Raider

The final bell for the last class of the day rang, and Luo Shu picked up her book, ready to leave the classroom when she saw Meng Yujuan rushing over in a hurry.

"Luo Shu, I have something I need to tell you." Meng Yujuan stopped in front of Luo Shu, panting for breath.

"Go ahead," Luo Shu said with a smile as she nodded.

"Let’s talk outside," Meng Yujuan pulled Luo Shu out of the classroom and into the woods behind it.

After looking around to make sure no one was there, Meng Yujuan began, "I suspect that someone is using Tenglong Group’s name to swindle people." That day at the wedding, when she found out Luo Shu’s identity, she couldn’t believe it, and finally understood why her freckles had disappeared without reason. It definitely had something to do with Luo Shu. Otherwise, why hadn’t they changed for so many years, only to change after meeting Luo Shu?

"Tell me about it," Luo Shu said.

"Didn’t I bring two girls from the village to Jinchen last time? One of them heard about Tenglong Group’s open casting and wanted to sign up. Before she even got to the registration site, she met a middle-aged man. That man claimed the location had changed and led her to a new registration site. As a result, she was robbed of all her money, and she was almost assaulted by the man," Meng Yujuan said. If it weren’t for Meng Cuihua’s body odor, she certainly would have been assaulted this time.

Luo Shu nodded in understanding. She also understood why that girl had been crying.

Glancing at her wristwatch, "We still have time, let’s go have a look." The registration site didn’t close until six o’clock, and those scammers certainly wouldn’t stop so early.

"Okay!" Meng Yujuan responded. Before returning to school, she had already reported the case to the Public Security Office, unsure whether the officers could catch those criminals.

The two left the school and headed for the nearest registration point.

Before reaching the registration point, they could see from afar that there were two long lines of people outside the registration site’s entrance. It seemed that no matter the era, people were always enthusiastic about auditions and similar events.

Divine Sense swept the nearby area and spotted two men skulking about in an alley, approaching any girl that passed by. It looked like they were the culprits.

"Let’s go have a look over there," Luo Shu said, pulling Meng Yujuan toward the two men.

Before they got close, a man emerged from a hiding spot, "Hello! Are you here to register for the ’My Youth’ open casting?"

Luo Shu gave Meng Yujuan a meaningful glance and revealed an innocent smile as she looked at the man, "Yes, we saw it advertised in the newspaper. We heard that if you win, you can make a lot of money."

"Of course! But the registration location has been changed. You might not be able to find it, so let me take you there," the man said cheerfully.

"Sure! We were worried we wouldn’t find it," Luo Shu replied happily, nodding.

"Then follow me," the man said, hastily leading the way.

Leading Luo Shu and Meng Yujuan into the alley and to a residential house, the man said, "This is the place. Let’s go inside."

"This doesn’t look like a registration site," Luo Shu stopped, looking at the house. She had already scanned the inside and saw that there were three men and four women inside. The four girls were very young and looked frightened, obviously having been tricked here as well."

"This is the place, you’ll know once you go in. Let’s hurry in," the man urged with a smile.

Meng Yujuan tugged at Luo Shu’s hand, somewhat scared. She knew Luo Shu was skilled, but what if there were seven or eight men inside?

"Then let’s have a look inside," Luo Shu gave Meng Yujuan a reassuring look and stepped into the house.

As soon as they entered, the door behind them slammed shut with a "bang!"

"What do you want to do? Didn’t you say you were taking us to register?" Luo Shu asked the man.

The man revealed a cold smirk, "Hand over your money, or don’t blame us for being unkind." As he spoke, the other men in the yard also closed in.

"Wow, this chick is really pretty! I’ve never seen such a beautiful girl before," one of the men leered as he stroked his chin, eyes roaming over Luo Shu’s face.

"The brothers are in for a treat today, hehe!" another man said, laughing along.

"Lao Liu has good taste!" a slightly plump man thumbed up at the man who led Luo Shu and Meng Yujuan in.

"Take them in, and let the brothers have a good time," the lead man said, reaching for Luo Shu, trying to grab her.

But of course, he didn’t get the chance, as he hadn’t even touched Luo Shu before she kicked him flying away.

The other three, taken aback, rushed to attack Luo Shu.

Luo Shu smiled slightly and lifted her leg for another kick. Before anyone could see her move, the three men had already been kicked flying away.

"Wow!" Meng Yujuan covered her mouth in surprise, looking at Luo Shu with admiration.

Luo Shu stepped forward, looking down at the four men on the ground, "Is it just the few of you in your gang?"

"You... Are you a public security officer?" The four men looked at Luo Shu with some apprehension.

"I’m the one asking the questions," Luo Shu said coolly, her gaze sweeping over the four.

The men felt a chill run down their spines as Luo Shu’s gaze swept over them, cold sweat beading on their backs.

"It’s... just the four of us," the lead man replied. By now, he was kicking himself. He thought he’d brought back two innocent girls, only to find out that this seemingly harmless one was a force to be reckoned with.

"Why are you using the name of Tenglong Group?" Luo Shu continued to inquire.

"We originally worked in tomb raiding, and we came to Jinchen to sell a few treasures we’d recently looted. Once here we realized it wasn’t easy to offload them, and when we saw the casting call in the newspaper, we had this idea. We just wanted to make some quick cash," the slightly plump man piped up. After the recent showdown, he realized Luo Shu wasn’t someone to mess with, so he didn’t dare to hold back.

Luo Shu sneered, "Your ’business’ sure is diverse."

"Let us go, and we’ll give you all the stolen items," the slightly plump man, the leader of the group, proposed. He was in charge, so naturally, he had the final say.
