Is it hard to chase the school beauty?It doesn't matter, she still has roommates

Li Qing remained seated, her hands clasped on the table. Her beautiful eyes, which seemed to see right through people, held a hint of amusement as she quietly observed the changes in Qin Luo's expression.

Qin Luo put away his phone and let out a long sigh of relief. Since Situ Rui was safe and sound, and merely under house arrest by his father, all his previous worries and speculations had become a joke.

There's no need for him to come here and demand an explanation.

At this moment, Li Qing slowly stood up and walked gracefully to Qin Luo, so close that they could almost feel each other's breath.

Her unique scent, a blend of mature feminine charm and a certain dangerous aura, once again lingered around Qin Luo's nose.

She tilted her head slightly, sizing up Qin Luo, her red lips parted slightly, her voice carrying a hint of languor and inquiry.

"Now, can you tell me, little brother Qin Luo? Why did you barge into my office so aggressively? Could it be... that you came specifically to watch Manman change clothes?"

Upon hearing this, Yao Man's cheeks, which had just faded from their blush, flushed red again, and she glared at Li Qing reproachfully.

"Sister Qing!"

Faced with Li Qing's almost teasing question, Qin Luo's expression had returned to its usual calm.

He naturally wouldn't tell the truth that he came to see Situ Rui, as that would only expose his previous suspicions and surveillance, making him seem even more foolish.

His mind raced, but he remained outwardly calm and casually made up a reason.

"It's nothing, I just came with a friend."

Her name is Black Rose; you should know her.

"Black Rose?"

A knowing glint flashed in Li Qing's eyes, and her smile became even more meaningful.

"So she's the one who brought you in. I was wondering..."

She paused, her gaze sweeping over Qin Luo, and then spoke slowly.

"Our rule here is to serve women only. However... Super VIPs have special privileges and can bring one man in. Black Rose, and..."

She glanced at Yao Man beside her and smiled knowingly.

"...Manman, they are all our store's super VIPs."

Qin Luo instantly understood. It turned out that he was able to get in because of Black Rose's super VIP status.

The suspicions I had previously had because Situ Rui got into Li Qing's car and went to the underground parking lot and never came out, as well as various coincidences, now seem to be completely unfounded wild speculations.

Since Situ Rui is alright, there is no need for me to stay here any longer.

"It seems to be a misunderstanding."

Qin Luo didn't want to linger, so he nodded to Li Qing.

"Excuse me, Manager Li. Goodbye."

After saying that, he stopped looking at Yao Man's gaze, which was still filled with embarrassment and inquiry, turned around, and left the office filled with fragrance and ambiguity without looking back.

Standing at the door, Li Qing watched Qin Luo's tall figure disappear at the end of the corridor. The playful smile on her face gradually faded, replaced by a complex and inscrutable expression, mixed with a hint of... reminiscence and emotion.

Yao Man walked to her side, followed her gaze, and asked curiously.

"Sister Qing, you seem to... have a special relationship with him? Since you held him when you were little, and even... he peed on you, with such a 'deep' friendship, why don't you tell him and acknowledge him as your father?"

Li Qing remained silent for a moment, then slowly shook her head, her gaze becoming distant, as if piercing through time.

"not the right time yet."

Her voice lowered, carrying a heaviness that was completely different from her previous languid and playful tone.

"Some things, knowing them too early, may not be a good thing."

and……"

She paused, a cold glint flashing in the depths of her eyes.

"Some people and some debts are not yet ready to be settled."
-
As Qin Luo stepped out of the luxurious yet somewhat oppressive doors of Chlitina Beauty Salon, a gentle evening breeze cleared his mind, which had been somewhat jumbled by the embarrassing scene earlier.

He stood on the steps by the door, his brows slightly furrowed, his mind still lingering on Li Qing's seemingly lazy and casual yet unfathomable gaze.

"Just who is this woman?"

Qin Luo thought to himself.

With his extraordinary intuition, he could sense that Li Qing was no ordinary chain beauty salon manager.

She was shrouded in mystery, and her behavior was also strange, such as her inexplicable closeness to Situ Rui, and the slightly eerie scene of examining Yao Man's body just now... But strangely, from beginning to end, Qin Luo did not sense any clear malice from her.

This contradictory feeling left him somewhat puzzled.

Just as he was lost in his thoughts, a slender hand, cool to the touch yet soft and boneless, gently patted his shoulder from behind.

Qin Luo turned around alertly, and what came into view was Black Rose's face, which possessed a mature charm and a touch of wild beauty.

She appeared out at some point and was looking at him with a smile.

"Why are you standing here in a daze? Still thinking about Manager Li inside?"

Black Rose walked forward naturally, stretched out her arms, and affectionately took Qin Luo's arm. She leaned almost half her body against him, and a richer and more charming feminine scent, different from the fragrance of a beauty salon, instantly enveloped Qin Luo.

Qin Luo stiffened slightly, feeling somewhat uncomfortable with such intimate contact, but Black Rose held him tightly, and he couldn't forcefully break free, so he could only awkwardly let her hold his arm.

"It's nothing, I just feel... this Manager Li is quite mysterious."

Qin Luohan responded from the Hu region.

"Li Qing..."

Black Rose tilted her head, seemingly deep in thought.

"I haven't had much contact with her. I only know that she was suddenly parachuted in from Chlitina's headquarters in the United States about a month ago, and took over this flagship store as soon as she arrived."

She's very capable and shrewd; she quickly got everyone in the shop under her thumb. As for her background and origins, that's unclear; she's very tight-lipped.

As she spoke, she turned her head to the side, looking at Qin Luo with a teasing and seductive gaze, her red lips close to his ear, her breath sweet as orchids.

"What? Interested in our mysterious and beautiful store manager, Ms. Li? How about I... help you make the connection?"

Feeling the warm breath on his ear and hearing the suggestive words, Qin Luo coughed lightly, subtly pulling his arm away slightly, and said seriously.

"Sister Rose is joking. I have something important to discuss with her; it's about my brother, Situ Rui."

"Oh? That lively little brat from the Situ family?"

What's up with him? "

Black Rose seemed interested.

The two talked as they walked toward the parking lot.

Qin Luo then briefly recounted how Situ Rui had been dragged home by his father and forced to inherit the family business, leading to this farcical "disappearance." Black Rose couldn't help but chuckle after hearing this.

“So that’s how it is! I was wondering… But the Situ family’s business is indeed quite large, so it’s understandable that his father is anxious. It’s just that this method… haha, simple and crude enough.”

As they spoke, the two had already arrived at the parking lot.

Qin Luo's silver-white Koenigsegg ONE1 stood there quietly, like a sleeping mechanical beast, attracting all eyes to its surroundings.

To Qin Luo's surprise, Black Rose did not walk towards her own car, but naturally followed him to the Koenigsegg, acting as if it were her right to ride in his car.

Qin Luo didn't ask any more questions. He unlocked the door with his key, and the scissor door slowly lifted upwards.

Black Rose bent down to get into the passenger seat.

She was wearing a black, tight-fitting bodycon mini skirt today, and the bending over motion inevitably caused the taut skirt to shift up a bit.

Qin Luo glanced at it subconsciously...

In that fleeting glimpse, he clearly saw a glimpse of extremely sexy, barely-there purple fabric flash by between Black Rose's round, pert buttocks and the edge of her black skirt!

That seems to be... the edge of a pair of ultra-thin purple lace panties? The material is as thin as a cicada's wing, almost transparent, outlining the full contours of her breasts in a barely visible way...

Qin Luo's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly looked away, his face flushed. He pretended not to see anything and prepared to walk around to the driver's seat.

However, Black Rose was an extremely perceptive person. She had already taken in Qin Luo's momentary stiffness and awkwardness, as well as his quickly averted gaze.

Instead of feeling shy or angry, she smiled smugly with a hint of mockery.

She didn't get into the car immediately. Instead, she bent over, turned slightly to the side, and raised her charming face, her captivating eyes staring straight at Qin Luo, her voice carrying a lazy yet seductive magnetism.

"Does it look good?"

She asked softly, her tone as intimate as a lover's whisper.

"..."

Qin Luo was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer, and could only awkwardly touch his nose.

Seeing this, Black Rose's smile widened. Instead of restraining herself, she moved even closer, almost pressing her red lips to Qin Luo's ear, and whispered in a breathy voice that only the two of them could hear.

"If you like it... or want to see more... you can come to my place tonight... and take your time to look at it..."

These provocative words were like a feather, gently scratching at Qin Luo's heart.

He could clearly smell the rich rose scent emanating from Black Rose, mixed with a hint of the unique body fragrance of a mature woman, full of aggression and allure.

Qin Luo took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the agitation in his heart, and tried his best to maintain composure. He didn't reply, but silently got into the driver's seat.

Black Rose looked at his "pretending to be serious" appearance and let out a light laugh like silver bells. Then she sat in the passenger seat with satisfaction, elegantly pulled up the seat belt, restraining her infinitely beautiful figure, but the seductive look in her eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

The Koenigsegg roared and drove away from the parking lot.

Qin Luo originally intended to take Black Rose home, but she gave him an address instead – “Supreme Entertainment City”.

Qin Luo was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask any more questions. He turned around and drove towards the Supreme Entertainment City on the outskirts of the city.

That's Xu Tianhu's territory.

When the Koenigsegg drove into the spacious parking lot of the Supreme Entertainment City, the scene before their eyes stunned Qin Luo and Black Rose!

In the vast parking lot, there stood more than forty strong young men!

They were all shirtless, revealing their bronze skin and muscular builds, wearing only matching camouflage trousers and military boots.

Even more surprisingly, each of them had heavy sandbags strapped to their calves and arms for support!
A burly man with a resolute face, wearing a black vest, stood in front like an iron tower, shouting commands in a loud voice.

"One, two, one! One, two, one! Keep the rhythm! Adjust your breathing! Faster! Faster! Faster!"

"Hold on!

"If you can't even handle this little bit of hardship, how will you be able to go on big missions with Brother Tiger in the future?!"

Under the supervision and urging of this burly man, these forty-odd young men were braving the cool night breeze and sweating profusely as they underwent high-intensity running training!
Their movements were perfectly synchronized, their eyes were resolute, they were panting heavily, and beads of sweat slid down the grooves of their muscles. The whole scene was filled with masculinity and a chilling atmosphere. They didn't look like security guards at an entertainment center at all, but more like a special forces unit undergoing rigorous training!

"This is……?"

Qin Luo parked the car and looked at the scene before him, his eyes filled with astonishment.

He recognized the burly man supervising him as Zhao Dayong, one of Xu Tianhu's trusted subordinates.

Zhao Dayong also saw Qin Luo and Black Rose getting out of the Koenigsegg, and immediately jogged over to them, bowing respectfully to Qin Luo.

"Brother Luo! You've arrived!"

He nodded to the black rose again.

"Sister Rose."

"Dayong, what are you guys doing? Is this a military field training exercise?"

Qin Luo pointed at the group of young men who were still running desperately and asked, puzzled.

Zhao Dayong wiped the sweat from his face and explained with a serious expression.

"Brother Luo, these are all brothers who volunteered to follow Brother Hu and are going to Southeast Asia. Brother Hu instructed that they must undergo intensive training before departure to hone their bodies and wills to their best condition!"

"To Southeast Asia?"

Qin Luo was even more puzzled.

"What are you going there for? And why make such a big fuss?"

Black Rose, who was standing to the side, put away her seductive smile, sighed softly, and said to Qin Luo.

"It seems you don't know yet. Brother Tiger... he has already sold this 'Supreme Entertainment City'."

"Sold?!"

Qin Luo was shocked!
This entertainment center is the foundation that Xu Tianhu has built over many years. How can he just sell it like that?
Black Rose nodded, her tone tinged with complexity.

"The proceeds from the sale, plus his savings over the years, will cover the expenses of this operation."

He planned to take this group of carefully selected and trained men to northern Myanmar... to seek refuge with Xu Tianbao.

"Xu Tianbao?"

Qin Luo felt that the name sounded familiar.

"Yeah, he's a tough guy who came from our side. I heard he's doing pretty well in northern Myanmar now, with some armed men and territory under his control."

Black Rose explained.

"Brother Tiger... he plans to take these brothers over there to 'conquer the land'."

Go to northern Myanmar? To seize power?! To fight against those local warlords who control their own armies?!
Qin Luo was completely shocked by this crazy and dangerous decision!
He knew all too well the chaos and bloodshed of that place. For Xu Tianhu to lead these dozens of men there was tantamount to lambs to the slaughter, or rather, to willingly jump into a giant meat grinder! (End of Chapter)
