Under One Person: Did Zuo Ruotong and I switch bodies?
Chapter 45 Lu Group
According to Zhang Huaiyi, his trip, which brought together more than ten renowned figures, was to settle old scores and plan for his grandson's future.
It's clear that he chose to go with these two people because he had the same idea, but the consequences would probably be much more serious than for these renowned figures.
According to Mingchen's letter, the "All-Knowing" organization now covers the entire country, has absolute jurisdiction over superhumans, and is backed by the government, making its methods far beyond the reach of superhumans...
Even the Celestial Master's Mansion is not acceptable.
Xu Xiang, who was just now, is the head of the North China region, a very high-ranking position. If anything were to happen to him, the authorities would definitely investigate him with all their might, and the commotion would be significant.
of course……
These were not things that Zuo Ruotong was worried about. After all, given Zhang Huaiyi's personality, if he decided to do this, he would definitely make thorough preparations, especially to ensure that his grandson would not be affected.
What he was truly worried about was that his grandson would once again choose to pave the way for mutual destruction, which, in his view and from his grandson's perspective, was by no means a good strategy...
There will always be a way out...
"Why bother?"
At this time...
Da da da da...
Suddenly, footsteps sounded behind him, and Zhang Chulan ran out: "Brother Chen, are you going to chase after Grandpa? Take me with you!"
"Um?"
Zuo Ruotong turned her head and immediately met his gaze, her eyes filled with determination: "Brother Chen, I want to go and bring Grandpa back!"
"Take me with you!"
From the past to the present, Zhang Chulan has always been the one being arranged, arranged by his grandfather, arranged by his father, protected, and grown up until now.
He was naturally intelligent, and as he grew older, he gradually realized this, but neither his grandfather nor his father explained why, so he didn't ask and simply followed along silently...
For him, as long as his grandfather and father were by his side, nothing else mattered.
But now...
My father has been missing for three months. My grandfather finally came back, but he was taken away by someone with a resolute look on his face when he left.
Although he was told not to cause trouble, not to go out, to hide his cultivation and live a good life, the thought of never seeing his grandfather again made him not want to hear those words anymore...
"Brother Chen..."
"I'm going to save Grandpa!"
"..."
Seeing Zhang Chulan's tense body, clenched fists, and flushed face, Zuo Ruotong was moved and fell into deep thought.
He wanted to go out anyway, whether to find Zhang Huaiyi, Lu Jin, or return to the sect, he had to go out...
Now is the perfect time.
But he couldn't leave the child behind, so he couldn't just walk away. Moreover, since he had accepted Zhang Huaiyi's entrustment, he had to take responsibility.
"Should we bring him along?"
"But what if we encounter danger?"
If it were just a simple journey, that would be fine, but the purpose of this trip is to find Zhang Huaiyi, and there may be dangers involved. With his current cultivation level... I'm afraid he might not be able to protect me.
"Brother Chen, you don't need to worry about me." As if sensing his concern, Zhang Chulan's eyes widened, golden light appearing and then transforming into lightning. "I can protect myself; I will never be a burden to you!"
Sensing the intensity of the lightning, Zuo Ruotong's eyes flickered. He had to admit that this kid's talent was truly remarkable. Although still young, his cultivation level was already approaching that of a high-ranking Daoist master...
"It's enough if you want to travel."
After a long silence, he finally nodded, not because he was not worried, but because he felt he should not refuse, just as he, as a disciple, was willing to help, and this was also the sincerity of a grandson.
Moreover, according to Mingchen's letter, the matter is not without hope; there are ways to minimize the danger. Most importantly, bringing Zhang Chulan along might make it easier to persuade Zhang Huaiyi...
"it is good."
"Let's go!"
Without any further hesitation, Zuo Ruotong immediately told Zhang Chulan to pack her luggage, and she rushed back to the house to take her money, documents, and some clothes.
As if anticipating his departure, Mingchen detailed the travel arrangements in his letter, also indicating that he could use his money as he pleased, since he had accumulated quite a bit from his travels around the country...
【I also need to borrow the Left Gatekeeper's identity and money; consider it an exchange.】
Following the instructions in the letter, Zuo Ruotong took Zhang Chulan to the nearest city overnight. Instead of going to the train station immediately, they found an internet cafe and paid the manager to type for him to search online.
"Brother Chen, can't you type?"
Typing requires knowing pinyin, but Zuo Ruotong, born in the Republic of China era, had never learned it. She explained, "I've been practicing with my master since I was little and never went to school. I'll try to learn it later..."
"Okay, take a look."
At this moment, the network administrator gave up the screen, which was displaying information about the "Lu Group." When Zuo Ruotong saw that the chairman's name was "Lu Jin," she nodded slightly.
Thank you.
After noting down the address of the Lu Group building, the two left the internet cafe, took a bus to the train station, bought two tickets to Hangzhou, and arrived safely after about half a day's train ride.
Early the next morning.
Zuo Ruotong told Zhang Chulan to wait at the hotel, and then went into the Lu Group building alone. At the front desk, she said directly, "I'm looking for Mr. Lu Jin. Please inform him that he's an old friend."
The receptionist glanced at him, noticing how young he was and how travel-worn he looked, and frowned. "Do you have an appointment?"
"reserve?"
"Couldn't you have at least given me a heads-up?"
"I'm sorry, you can't see Chairman Lu without an appointment. He's not in the company right now. Please make an appointment first." The receptionist was quite polite, but then ignored them.
"Excuse me, I really have something important to discuss with him. Please make an exception."
"You..."
The receptionist immediately became impatient: "Do you know how many people try to see Chairman Lu every day? Are you going to make exceptions for them all?"
Please make an appointment first.
"This is the standard procedure."
Just then, seeing someone causing trouble at the front desk, the lobby security guard came over: "Xiaoli, what's going on?"
"This gentleman wants to see Chairman Lu without an appointment."
"Oh?"
The security guard glanced at Zuo Ruotong, saw that she was a young man, and assumed she was there to cause trouble. He said in a deep voice, "Sir, you need an appointment to see Chairman Lu. If you don't have an appointment, please leave first and come back with one."
Zuo Ruotong gently shook her head: "I don't have his contact information, but as long as you help me get in touch, he will definitely see me."
"I told you, please make an appointment before you come!"
Seeing that he wouldn't leave, the security guard lost his patience and grabbed his shoulder, trying to force him out.
"Um?!"
But the next moment, the security guard's eyes widened. No matter how hard he tried, the kid didn't budge: "Is he a trained fighter?"
He immediately called over the other security guards in the lobby, and five or six of them worked together, but it was still no use. They had no choice but to use the walkie-talkie to notify their captain:
"Captain, someone's causing trouble! Come to the lobby immediately!"
soon……
"What happened?"
A burly man in a security guard uniform walked into the lobby, and upon seeing the situation, immediately berated him: "You can't even handle this troublemaker? What are you good for?!"
Zuo Ruotong suddenly sensed something, turned her head to look at him, and saw that there was Qi flowing in his body. She immediately understood and walked over: "Could you please help me contact Mr. Lu, the 'Chairman Lu' they are talking about?"
He then raised his hand.
From an angle that only it can see.
White Qi emerged from the fingertips.
It's clear that he chose to go with these two people because he had the same idea, but the consequences would probably be much more serious than for these renowned figures.
