Chapter 1652: Chapter 1665: Luo Family Father and Daughter

Sophie first had a moment of realization, then looked troubled, and suddenly understood with hope flashing in her eyes as she lifted her chin, "Lin Mu, you’re good at fighting and smart too, surely you’ve already thought of a plan!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she secretly nudged Roland.

The latter was obviously a bit embarrassed but still stood up, grabbing Lin Mu’s arm, shaking it as she pitifully said, "Brother, can you help me? If you don’t help, I’m really out of options..."

What a blatant trap! This is clearly them teaming up to set me up.

Looking at Sophie with her cunning eyes, Lin Mu suddenly got the point. A beauty CEO, such a person, managing the huge Su’s Great Enterprise alone at just over twenty, how could she not understand such a simple principle. It’s just that now being out of town and unable to do much, she wants to rope me in as the grunt worker.

...The most outrageous thing is that she doesn’t directly ask but instead uses indirect persuasion, pushing for assistance, letting a cute girl come to plead—this is completely avoiding the need to owe a favor!

For god’s sake, wants the horse to run but gives it no grass, thinks I’m easy to bully?

Lin Mu raised an eyebrow, displeasure written all over his face. However, as a righteous and kind-hearted young man with pure character, he absolutely couldn’t refuse... Especially since Roland’s **** was so soft. Sigh, being seen through one’s weaknesses is indeed tough!

And for Lin Mu, arranging Roland’s escape was definitely a job requiring skill. If she was alone, it would be easy: roll up the bedding, grab a passport, book a flight, whether it’s to Thailand, Myanmar, Singapore, Malaysia, wherever she wants to go. After all, no matter how strong Wei Family’s influence is, it can’t reach abroad. Once she’s on the plane, it’s sky’s the limit.

Unfortunately, the situation is different now; Roland still has a father back home who is paralyzed waist down.

How to get both him and her out of the country before things blow up has become the key issue.

"All in all, it’s still that there’s too little time!"

Lin Mu smacked his lips, two bodyguards knocked out by him were tied into knots and thrown into the bathroom.

In a five-star hotel with surveillance everywhere, exiting through the main entrance was obviously unrealistic. Fortunately, Lin Mu was skilled at climbing walls and jumping household fences. He opened the balcony, seized the opportunity and leaped out when no one was around.

Of course, in his arms were two beauties who looked pale and devastated...

After passing through several streets, Lin Mu stopped, borrowed some change from Roland, made a long-distance call from a roadside phone booth, then the three took a taxi headed directly to Shencheng North City.

Roland’s home was in a tube-shaped building from the sixties or seventies. As they ascended the stairs, the light instantly darkened. In the already narrow corridor, sporadically there were stoves piled for cooking. The surrounding walls were smoke-blackened, and the air was filled with an unpleasant smell, a bit like it wafted from the restroom. If it weren’t for seeing it himself, Lin Mu could hardly imagine a beautiful girl living in such a place.

However, this did indirectly reflect Roland’s upright nature. Otherwise, given her looks and figure, even if she didn’t become hugely famous, moving to a better living environment would surely be possible.

"The light is broken, it’s a bit dark, be careful of your steps—some kids are naughty and like to throw banana peels in the hallway..."

Roland had obviously gotten used to such an environment, and while speaking she also turned on her phone, using its glow to light the way for the two. After walking about twenty meters forward, the three turned a corner when suddenly the sound of an argument emerged from a room with its door wide open not far away.

"Old man, don’t be shameless, I’ll ask you again, do you have money or not?"

When the three arrived at the door, they happened to see a young man in a plaid top flipping a worn round table onto the ground. With a crash, cups shattered, medicine boxes toppled over, various colored capsules and tablets rolled everywhere.

In front of him was an elderly man who looked no more than fifty but whose hair was already white. Sitting on the bed, he trembled his lips in anger, "I’ve already returned the betrothal gifts. What more do you want?"

"Don’t talk nonsense! You broke off the engagement first and embarrassed me. You think returning the gifts is enough? Let me tell you, without a ten, twenty thousand compensation for emotional damage, this won’t be over!" The youth spat, grinding the pills that had rolled in front of him into powder with his foot.

"You, you’re extorting!" The elderly man clutched his chest, coughing repeatedly, his face soon turned bright red with anger.

"Dad!" Roland exclaimed, rushing into the room while gently soothing her father’s back, glaring angrily at the youth, "Chen Qiao, are you done yet? Our family has nothing to do with you anymore."

"Oh, isn’t this Roland?" The youth called Chen Qiao brightened his eyes, a lustful and greedy look appeared on his acne-covered face, "Weren’t you out for a show? When did you come back without letting your Brother Chen know beforehand?"

"I’ll say it again, we have nothing to do with each other anymore. Please don’t come harass my father and me!"

Roland furrowed her brows, looking disgusted. In this world, some people come with a sticky nature; once latched on, it’s impossible to shake them off. The Luo Family and Chen Family were old family friends, closely related, so when Roland was born, she was betrothed to Chen Qiao. However, Chen Qiao was terribly disappointing, dropping out soon after entering high school, lacking any legitimate career, indulging in vices like gambling and deceit, leading his parents to their graves early.

In such circumstances, Roland’s father of course sought to cancel the engagement. Yet unexpectedly, Chen Qiao initially agreed readily, but after receiving the doubled returned gift, he changed his mind and pestered Roland relentlessly.

Roaming the streets for years, he knew many shady people and constantly troubled Roland and her father, making their life a nightmare yet unavoidable. Now out of money, here he was again, targeting his ’father-in-law,’ thinking to score some cash.

"Ha, you say it’s over and it’s over? That engagement was broken unilaterally by your father, I never agreed." Chen Qiao’s talent for denying obligations was obviously far advanced, splitting a smile to expose a mouthful of yellow teeth, he leisurely scoffed, "Don’t think that now you’ve made it, become a little star, you can ignore past debts? I know full well where your company is, be careful I’ll bring my brothers and show up to demand answers, when..."

Before the words were finished, he suddenly felt a pat on his shoulder, Chen Qiao abruptly turned around, his suddenly inflamed temper soared when he saw Lin Mu, a young man with delicate features and a not very strong build. He glared his eyes and barked insults, "Who the hell are you, dare to touch me, tired of living, huh?"
