When You Finally Turn Around After Playing Enough, I’ll No Longer Be There - Chapter 20:

Chapter 20: Offending Chen Luo Never Ends Well

He had originally planned to sell soda on Old Factory Street. At the time, he wanted to do it big, so he leased all the factory buildings on the street in one go. But not only did he not make money, he ended up losing everything.

Now, despite looking successful on the surface, in reality, apart from the 400,000 yuan Chen Luo had given him, he didn’t have a single cent left. On top of that, he was buried in high-interest debt.

He was just afraid that his brothers would look down on him if they found out, so he had kept the entire Old Factory Street matter a secret.

Who could’ve imagined that in just a few short days, everything would change so dramatically?

Demolition…

3 million yuan per factory…

Zhu Wenwu’s mind was filled with nothing but those words. His eyes were bloodshot.

He couldn’t help but think, if he hadn’t sold the factory to that guy, wouldn’t he be the one getting back on his feet now?

But now, he had nothing.

Like a puppet with cut strings, Zhu Wenwu walked toward the rooftop, closed his eyes, and jumped without hesitation.

“BOOM—!”

A loud noise rang out, followed by screams of panic.

“Help! Someone died!”

“Someone jumped!”

After hearing the news that Zhu Wenwu had jumped, Zhou Tian and Lin Mengyao exchanged a glance.

“I really don’t think Zhu Wenwu’s death is as simple as just jumping. Why would he suddenly do that? Could it be… Chen Luo had something to do with it?” Lin Mengyao looked serious. Just thinking about the possibility that Chen Luo could kill someone made her feel terrified about how she had acted toward him before.

With Chen Luo’s ruthless personality—ready to kill at the slightest offense—if she really provoked him, could she end up any better?

“One thing’s for sure. Zhu Wenwu’s death is definitely connected to Chen Luo.” Zhou Tian exhaled a ring of smoke, emotions churning in his eyes.

He never thought Chen Luo would turn out to be someone so dangerous.

What was even scarier was that he could kill without leaving a trace, and even the police hadn’t found any clues.

This kind of person… was way more terrifying than Qin Xu.

…

After picking up the dress, Chen Luo checked the time—it was 8:00 a.m., and the school celebration started at 9:00. Worried about being late, he called the driver and finally arrived at Qinghe High School by 8:50.

At that moment, in Class 5 of Grade 1…

Su Panyue sat calmly in her seat wearing her school uniform, seemingly waiting for someone.

Everyone around her was in a panic.

“Panyue, hurry and go backstage to change and put on your makeup!”

“Yeah, Jiang Kewei from Class 3 is already dressed and ready!”

Su Panyue glanced toward the door. Seeing no one there, she looked away. “No rush.”

She knew Brother Luo must be running late because he was handling Zhu Wenwu’s matter.

Last night, when she heard about Zhu Wenwu’s suicide, Su Panyue suddenly remembered what Chen Luo had told her.

From now on, Zhu Wenwu would never have the chance to bother her again.

So… that’s what he meant by ‘no chance’?

Su Panyue subconsciously clenched her fingers. Brother Luo had actually been willing to do something so dangerous for her.

Thankfully, the police didn’t find anything suspicious.

“How can you not be in a rush?”

“If you don’t go out now, our whole class is going to be embarrassed by Class 3!”

“Panyue.” Just then, Qin Xu walked in, holding a garment bag. “I brought you a dress. It’s shipped from overseas—go ahead and change into it.”

As the top student in Grade 3, Qin Xu was a well-known figure at Qinghe High School.

He was also good-looking. The moment he appeared, many girls started screaming.

“I can’t believe Senior Qin came. So jealous of Su Panyue!”

“Senior Qin is so handsome!”

“Panyue, just take it, okay? If you don’t, I’ll be embarrassed.” Qin Xu deliberately softened his tone. That smooth and charming voice was irresistible to most girls.

He even took the dress out of the bag and unfolded it in front of Su Panyue. “Look, this is the newest design I had brought in from abroad. You won’t find this anywhere in the country.”
