Let s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 385: Chapter 385 Heavenly Fortune (27)
 

“President Chuu, are you at home?”

“President Chuu?”

The assistant, seeing the door wasn’t closed, carefully pushed it open.

The room was dimly lit, oppressively so, as if filling the space with an air of heaviness.

Swallowing nervously, the assistant’s gaze swept over the living room, taking in the shattered ceramics on the floor and the dried bloodstains, his face turning pale instantly.

What was this, a murder scene?

It couldn’t be that President Chuu had been…?

“President Chuu?”

The assistant called out for quite some time, but no one responded. He looked at the scene in the living room, his heart pounding.

The bloodstains in the living room continued in drag marks leading upstairs.

Taking a deep breath, the assistant found a baseball bat in the living room and carried it upstairs.

“President Chuu… President Chuu, are you there?”

“President Chuu?”

Only the assistant’s voice echoed along the hallway, its shadowy and profound environment sent chills down his spine.

He followed the trail of blood to the door of the study.

Hands trembling, the assistant pushed the door open.

“President… Chuu?”

At first glance, the assistant didn’t see anyone; but on the second look, he saw Chuu Wu lying on the floor.

The baseball bat dropped from his hand, and after three seconds, he dashed over.

“President Chuu, President Chuu, are you alright?”

Chuu Wu was rushed to the hospital.

After an examination, the doctor reported there was nothing serious.

The assistant was frightened; Chuu Wu was covered in blood, and he had almost thought Chuu Wu was dead.

“Hiss…”

“President Chuu, you’re awake.”

The assistant, standing by the bedside, immediately moved forward.

Chuu Wu’s vision was blurry and it took him a while to see clearly.

“Where is this?”

“The hospital,” the assistant replied. “President Chuu, what happened?”

Chuu Wu, thinking of what he had gone through, clutched the assistant’s hand in agitation, “Call the police, call the… No, don’t call the police.”

“President Chuu?” The assistant was confused. Should they call the police or not?

“It’s nothing, I’m fine.”

“…”

The assistant remained worried.

This did not look like ‘nothing.”

Chuu Wu seemed dazed, asking anxiously, “Is the company alright?”

“It’s fine,” the assistant said. “But I couldn’t get through to your phone, so I came to find you. Are you sure we don’t need to call the police?”

Hearing that the company was fine, Chuu Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

“No need. Go out for now.”

“…Okay.”

With the assistant gone, Chuu Wu slumped onto the hospital bed, resting a hand on his forehead, his gloomy eyes fixed on the ceiling.

Chuu Wu’s body might not have been seriously harmed, but he still needed to recover.

“Mr. Chuu, it’s terrible, something has happened.”

The assistant burst in without even knocking.

Chuu Wu’s heart skipped a beat, “What happened?”

The assistant said hurriedly, “Someone is claiming that our company’s baby formula contains carcinogens.”

Chuu Wu’s face darkened: “How is that possible?”

“I don’t know. On my way here, I received a call from the higher-ups; they want to inspect us.”

Chuu Wu quickly calmed down: “Don’t panic, our formula doesn’t have any issues, so we’re not afraid of inspection.”

“But this kind of news, even if it turns out to be false, could still harm us.”

Nowadays with baby products, a single stain could ruin everything.

The unease that Chuu Wu had felt these past few days seemed to find confirmation now.

Unable to stay in the hospital any longer, Chuu Wu took his assistant and hurried back to the company.

The authorities had already arrived to inspect their products.

When the departments from above spoke, Chuu Wu couldn’t stop them.

He ordered to suppress the news online and accompanied them for the inspection.

Chuu Wu initially thought there shouldn’t be any problems.

But when the results came out, Chuu Wu was stunned.

News online erupted instantaneously.

The condemnation from netizens flew in like snowflakes.

As the saying goes, “Good fortune never comes in pairs, and misfortunes never come singly.”

The issue with the milk powder wasn’t resolved yet, and now there’s a problem with the subsidiary’s pharmaceuticals.

“How could these problems arise?”

Chuu Wu was so angry that he smashed his office.

The people standing in the office trembled with fear.

“President Chuu… we don’t know either.”

“Don’t know? You tell me you don’t know? What am I paying you for?!”

“President Chuu…” They were truly innocent; their products had no issues.

“President Chuu, I think someone is sabotaging us?” someone spoke up.

Chuu Wu obviously knew someone was sabotaging him.

“Who is it? I want to know who it is!” Chuu Wu slammed the desk and cried with fury, “What’s the use of telling me here? Go and investigate! Find out who is framing the company!”

“What are you standing there for? Go now!”

The office staff, as if granted amnesty, quickly left the office.

Chuu Wu leaned against the desk, gasping for breath.

Without the wings of a Guardian Angel, would he really lose everything?

Sang Meng…

Where on earth is Sang Meng!

Chuu Wu’s company was besieged from all sides, with public opinion and pressure from above constantly battering the company.

The vast enterprise began to wobble precariously.

When a behemoth falls, the parasites lurking around it start to stir, ready to swarm and devour it at any moment.

–

The sunlight fell on the balcony, piercing through the glass window, pouring inside.

The floor-length gauze curtains swayed in the wind, casting shadows on the floor.

On the sofa, a girl with pure white wings lazed around, her wings pressed under her, making the sofa seem notably smaller.

In her arms, she cradled a snow-white Little Bun, nearly merging with her wings.

“Meow~”

Little Bun uttered a soft and glutinous cry.

“What are you meowing about,” Chuzheng said irritably. “Your shit-scooper hasn’t come back yet.”

“Meow~”

Little Bun nuzzled Chuzheng with its head.

“Stop meowing.” Chuzheng scolded it.

“Meow~ Meow~” Little Bun kept meowing out of hunger.

Chuzheng simply let go of it, embracing the tips of her own wings, looking coldly as Little Bun hopped down and sniffed around its food bowl.

Fed up with its meowing, Chuzheng turned over, her back to it.

Chu Wu entered the door, and Little Bun ran over excitedly, pleading pitifully around his feet.

He hurried to feed Little Bun.

Then, approaching the sofa, he paused for a moment, making sure Chuzheng hadn’t fallen asleep before turning her over, “Why didn’t you feed it?”

“Why should I?”

“It’s hungry.”

“I’m hungry too,” Chuzheng declared boldly.

“…”

Chu Wu was at a loss for words.

He took off his coat and started rolling up his sleeves, asking, “Didn’t I tell you that I had a sudden surgery today, so I’d be back late, and that you should order takeout?”

“Takeout can’t be delivered here, I have to go down to get it,” Chuzheng said with an indifferent expression. “How do I go out?”

Go out and scare them to death, and then have someone drag me away for dissection?

She didn’t know what was wrong, but her wings wouldn’t retract, and the abilities of a Guardian Angel hadn’t returned.

Of course, she couldn’t become invisible or anything of that sort.

Right now, she was just a winged… bird person?

That’s so worrisome.

The little creature wanted to pet her wings, and she wanted to pin it down and spoil it thoroughly.

It’s enough to drive someone crazy.

“…Sorry.” After hearing what Chuzheng said, Chu Wu’s guilt surged, and he planted a kiss on her forehead. “I’ll go make you something to eat right away.”

Chu Wu went into the kitchen to prepare food.

Chuzheng sat up from the sofa, embracing the tips of her wings, and walked to the kitchen doorway.

She leaned against the doorway, watching the man busily moving about the kitchen.

Chu Wu turned around, saw her standing at the door, and couldn’t help but let a slight smile lift the corners of his mouth, “It’ll be ready soon.”
