<strong>Chapter 714: Chapter 0716: Luggage Gone</strong>


    The man asked again, “If you don’t need our help, then there won’t be a second opportunity.”


    This was their rule, the same person for the same issue could absolutely not engage them a second time.


    Lin Dong next to them rolled his eyes at this, finding these guys really did have principles.


    Lin Zhao nodded, expressing his apologies to them, “Sorry brothers, for troubling you guys.”


    The police officer, seeing Lin Zhao, scoffed, “What, it’s you again? Did you stir up trouble this time too?”


    The officer pretended to want to apprehend Lin Zhao again, but Chu Ge stepped forward in time, saying to the officer: “Officer, there’s been a misunderstanding this time, all just misunderstandings.”


    Chu Ge spoke on behalf of Lin Zhao and the others, which really made Nangong Man Sha and Lin Dong stare in astonishment for quite a while; they couldn’t fathom what Chu Ge was thinking.


    Hearing what Chu Ge said, the police officer didn’t press the matter further but just warned the gangsters a few words and exchanged some pleasantries with Chu Ge before the police team left.


    From the breathlessly tense beginning to the now anticlimactic end, everything seemed like a farce.


    Once the police left, Lin Dong hurriedly approached, looking at Chu Ge with confusion, “Mr. Chu, what exactly is going on here?”


    Chu Ge gently shook his head, “Nothing. It was just a misunderstanding, and now that it’s cleared up, let’s continue with the next part of the process.”


    Seeing that Chu Ge had no intention of further exining, Lin Dong had no choice but to drop the subject.


    He red fiercely at Lin Zhao, speaking coldly, “Lin Zhao, watch yourself. If you try any more tricks, beware my fist doesn’t have eyes!”


    He hadn’t gotten a chance to show off his skills just now and felt frustrated; if Lin Zhao slipped up again, he wouldn’t mind using him as a practice target.


    Lin Zhao chuckled, scratching his head and saying awkwardly, “Brother Lin Dong, we both belong to the main Lin Family branch, why the need for such animosity, haha.”


    “So why aren’t you leaving already?” Lin Dong said irritably.


    Lin Zhao nced at Chu Ge, hesitated then spoke, “Um… I would like to stay for the opening ceremony.”


    Chu Ge patted Lin Dong’s shoulder from the side, saying, “Alright, we’ve missed the auspicious moment, no need to set off the firecrackers, let’s just move on to the next item. Open the doors, please, and let everyone in.”


    Lin Dong grunted and, still feeling unsatisfied, red at Lin Zhao before going to open the door and wee guests.


    Liu Yue also came to help, the two bustling about with great enthusiasm.


    With the brief interlude over, everyone’s interest slowly returned, and they began to enter the venue to engage in gambling stones.


    On the other side, Mu Bingtong was pulled by the schrly-looking man to a safe corner, where the outside situation waspletely obscured.


    Despite Mu Bingtong’s several attempts to go out to see if Chu Ge was in any danger, the schrly man stopped her every time.


    “Don’t go out yet, those people outside are all holding dangerous weapons, it’s risky. I heard the sound of police sirens just now; I believe the police should arrive very soon,” the schrly man said.


    Mu Bingtong nodded slightly at him, “Thank you.”


    The schrly man felt a bit embarrassed when Mu Bingtong stared at him so directly, scratching his head and saying, “It’s nothing, it’s… it should be.”


    Mu Bingtong smiled, but the worry in her eyes could not be fully concealed. Seen by the schrly man, for some reason, his heart ached for her.


    “Is that Chu Ge, your friend?” the schrly man asked cautiously.


    Mu Bingtong was startled, then nodded gently.


    The schrly man uttered an “Oh,” and then fell silent.


    The silence between the two suddenly made the atmosphere a bit awkward. The schrly man coughed lightly and then said awkwardly, “I haven’t introduced myself yet, have I? Hello, my name is Yang Ping, I’m also from out of town, here to visit the Capital City.”


    Yang Ping was actually the childhood friend of the masked man – that Yang Ping. Now he had taken off that ck robe and mask, walking along the street like any ordinary person. It had been so long since he had felt this.


    Later, Yang Kun said that today was the grand opening of Chu Ge’s Gambling Stone Field, and thinking that he had nothing in particr to do, he decided toe and join the fun.


    He often heard Yang Kun mention Chu Ge, and also often heard the disciples of the ck Witch Sect talk about Chu Ge. He was very curious about Chu Ge, which is why he decided toe and have a look.


    Today, Yang Kun had to go to the Sunflower Sect and wouldn’t be back for the whole day, so after Yang Kun left, he took off that ck robe, put on casual clothes, and stepped out.


    The feeling of walking on the street like an ordinary person was distinctly different; it felt both unfamiliar and exciting to him. Without the peculiar stares of others, it was incrediblyfortable.


    What he least expected was that he would do something here that he would never have dared dream of in his lifetime—heroically rescuing a damsel in distress.


    Yang Ping looked at Mu Bingtong somewhat embarrassedly; this was the first time he spoke to a girl at such close range, which was indeed a bit overwhelming.


    Mu Bingtong smiled slightly and said, “Hello, I am Mu Bingtong.”


    After a moment, Mu Bingtong looked at the noise outside gradually settling down and couldn’t help but poke her head out, saying, “It seems there’s nothing wrong outside now.”


    She had just heard the sound of police cars; it seemed the police had subdued those troublemakers.


    Thinking this, Mu Bingtong stepped out from the shadows, with Yang Ping hastening to follow.


    “Lady Mu, let’s wait a bit longer, just in case those criminals haven’t been subdued yet. Going out like this could be very dangerous,” he warned.


    But Mu Bingtong waved her hand and said, “Look at all those onlookers; it means that it’s already safe. Otherwise, they would have run away by now.”


    Hearing this, Yang Ping did not speak anymore. He was a bit timid, and now seeing that even his courage was not as great as a woman’s, he felt quite embarrassed and his face turned red.


    Outside, everything had already calmed down, and at the moment, Chu Ge was warmly greeting some high-ranking leaders who hade to offer their congrattions.


    These so-called high-ranking leaders hade because they heard that Nangong Man Sha was at the event and wanted to take the opportunity to get close to her.


    Chu Ge was not good at socializing, so Nangong Man Sha apanied him the whole time. Chu Ge was happy and carefree, and seeing Nangong Man Sha working so hard on Chu Ge’s behalf, those leaders already formed their own conclusions.


    They naturally did not put on any official airs with Chu Ge and were very approachable.


    When Mu Bingtong came out, there were already fewer people bustling in the street than before; everyone had gone into the Gambling Stone Field to start having fun.


    Mu Bingtong took a few steps and felt as if something was missing in her hand. She furrowed her brows, and then she suddenly remembered that in themotion, she hadn’t taken her luggage.


    When she looked back at where she had been standing, her luggage was already gone.
