Chapter 509: Chapter 510: Walking the Red Carpet

On the road, Chu You was checking his phone while glancing at his car. A message had just appeared. It was from Xiao Qiao.

’Chu You, I’ve upgraded your car’s electronic system so it can drive itself. Don’t worry, you trust my driving skills, don’t you? Hee-hee...’ Chu You could imagine little Xiao Qiao’s mischievous grin as he read the message.

’ What a tease!’ muttered Chu You. He typed out a response and then took his hands off the steering wheel. This startled Wang Meimei, who was sitting next to him. She looked at Chu You, disbelief replacing her earlier trepidation.

"Relax, this car can drive itself,’ Chu You informed Wang Meimei seriously, before returning his attention to his phone.

The vehicle was originally an SUV manufactured by a reputable sports car company. It already had some autonomous driving capabilities due to its advanced base system. But with Red Queen’s system upgrade, it was now capable of completely unmanned driving - in other words, Xiao Qiao now had complete control of the vehicle.

The benefits of this were obvious: there was no need to worry about getting lost or taking a longer route than necessary, making the journey much more enjoyable.

’Your car is so advanced, President Chu,’ Wang Meimei remarked casually, trying to decipher Chu You’s expression.

’I didn’t frighten you, did I?’

’At the moment you took your hands off the wheel, I was certainly scared. I’ve never been in a self-driving car.’

’Once you get used to it, you’ll be fine. Trust me, it’s 100% safe. Besides, do you think Xiao Qiao would let anything bad happen to us?’

’I trust you, President Chu. It feels very smooth,’ Wang Meimei responded, touching the car seat as if seeing it for the first time.

Inwardly, Wang Meimei thought, ’Your life is far more valuable than mine, so if you’re not worried, I shouldn’t be either.’

’Meimei, is it okay if I call you that?’ Chu You asked, trying to form a strong rapport with her. After all, they were going to be not just collaborators, but also superiors and subordinates. Besides, Elder Li Yuan had recommended Wang Meimei to him, so it made sense to establish a good bond. Especially considering Chu You lacked loyal confidants in the Tianchu Group.

’Of course, Sir... it feels quite pleasant,’ Wang Meimei replied with a mixture of curiosity and excitement. She felt she was now officially under the CEO’s evaluation. Naturally, she started reminiscing about the day she had a private meeting with Elder Li Yuan.

During their chat, Elder Li Yuan had remarked, ’Chu You will soon be in control of the Tianchu Group. I have recommended you to him, hoping that you will seize this opportunity. He lacks reliable allies in the group and has not yet consolidated his own base of power. However, as the Sect Leader, power will inevitably flow towards him. I hope you will be the first to pledge your loyalty to him and win his acceptance.’

’Let’s discuss the Ossetian forum while we have time. Brief me about things that I should know,’ Chu You instructed.

’Of course, President Chu...’ Wang Meimei quickly composed herself and began to brief him on the details.

Chu You nodded, indicating he was following along. All the while, he was reading a text message that Xiao Qiao had sent him.

Xiao Qiao: ’They’ve already set off, there are 16 in total, including four armed guards. Chu You, be careful. There are also two individuals whose identities I cannot determine online. Should we change our route and follow them?’

The fact that even Red Queen couldn’t find personal information online about these two individuals surprised Chu You. Could they be government agents? That didn’t sound right. As long as Red Queen had access to someone’s face or physical characteristics, she could usually verify their identity on the internet. There were diverse identification methods available to her. But now, Xiao Qiao was unable to determine who these individuals were, which was a significant problem.

Chu You quickly replied: ’Follow them.’

Meanwhile, Wang Meimei was glancing back and forth between the documents and Chu You.

’So, those participating in this conference are globally recognized figures who’ve made significant contributions to biological research, right?"

’Yes, President Chu. The main theme of the conference is to discuss ethical and moral issues related to biological characters. Additionally, they will delve into the real differences and roles between biological characters and AI robots. That’s why several tech moguls are taking part,’ Wang Meimei explained.

Chu You nodded to show that he was following along. He then looked ahead, noticing a change in the route.

Sometime later, three cars merged onto New Street from a bird’s-eye view. A convoy of six imposing and luxurious black cars were already on this main street.

Eventually, Chu You’s car caught up and started moving alongside the other convoy. It was only natural that Chu You’s car followed this group’s lead vehicle. Chu You rolled down his window and glanced to his left.

He then reached for a cigarette and lit it. An unreadable expression graced Chu You’s face as he considered whether or not to flip the other car. But that could potentially kill the passengers, so he dismissed the idea.

A small crack in the window of the other car widened slightly, revealing several people inside. An elderly man looked at Chu You and waved at him.

Chu You sensed something, turned, and once again looked at the car. On seeing Chu You’s attention, the elderly man flashed a cryptic smile that to the untrained eye might have appeared friendly.

At the same time, puzzled by the exchange, Wang Meimei leaned close to the window to get a better look at the occupants of the other car.

They could see that the car was a limousine accommodating four people. There were two elderly individuals and a middle-aged couple, but the elderly couple’s grandson, Awen, wasn’t in the car. As the boss of the Scarlet Guild in Wei Country, Awen had once been crushed by Chu You.

It was expected that Chu You would recognize the elderly man, but instead, there was a cold, almost cruel smile on his face. It seemed clearly intended to unnerve the elderly man, an intent that Chu You made no effort to hide.

Correct, I am following you, Chu You’s demeanour seemed to say. This was enough to change the expression of the elderly man who initially thought the two cars merely had a chance encounter. But, judging by Chu You’s intentions, it seemed Chu You knew from the onset their positions. What could this mean?

The elderly man squinted slightly. His eyes flashed with a startling emotion that would strike fear into anyone who happened to catch sight of it.

This gentle-looking man now wore an inscrutable expression that made onlookers shudder.

’Chu You? So it’s him...’

’He’s incredibly rude, not even bothering to greet us,’ complained the man’s daughter-in-law, clueless about the underlying implications of the situation.

’Nevermind,’ replied the elderly man dismissively.

Eventually, Chu You and his team reached the conference venue, which was a beautifully designed building decked out with banners and balloons.

When Chu You’s car stopped on the red carpet under the guidance of the staff, the two of them got out, and their car was driven away by a valet. With their ID badges hanging around their necks, Chu You and Wang Meimei began walking down the red carpet. The area was crowded with national and international journalists and other less significant figures eager to see which industry leaders were attending the meeting.
