#415 - Chapter 414 Uninvited Guest Zhou Yaoguang
The young clerk's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and his voice gradually weakened.
"Oh, right!" Li Chenqiu tapped his head as if he had thought of something, and said with a smile, "Also, if you want to continue experiencing that feeling, then stick to your guns and don't let your bo--"
"I... I'll call, I'll call right away!" the young clerk interrupted immediately.
Li Chenqiu reminded him, "Remember to sound natural."
"...Okay, okay," the young man trembled as he took out his phone from his pocket. After calming down for a moment, he dialed his boss's number.
While the two were talking, Li Chenqiu walked to the Winter Night painting, gently touching the glass with his finger, and whispered in his heart, "How could it be a painting?"
The only three things related to this finishing touch are the key to opening the alternate dimension, the Seal of the Gods Scroll that seals the monster, and the other two parts of the finishing touch. This painting... doesn't seem to be related to any of them!
Just as Li Chenqiu was pondering, the young clerk carefully walked over with his phone, pointing to the phone to signal Li Chenqiu to answer it.
Li Chenqiu answered the phone: "Hello."
"Hello, I heard from my employee that you want to buy that Winter Night painting?" A middle-aged woman's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Yes, from the first time I saw this painting, I felt it had a very artistic conception and was very comfortable to look at, so I wanted to buy it with money," Li Chenqiu replied flawlessly.
"Is that so... then, how many Star Points are you willing to offer, sir?"
Li Chenqiu asked back, "I would like to ask first, how many Star Points do you think this painting is worth?"
"Although this painting is not of high value, it has been with me for a long time. How about this, I'll sell you this painting for ten thousand Star Points!" The woman's tone was a little distressed.
Li Chenqiu's face darkened, and he tried to bargain, "Ten thousand Star Points is too expensive, how about five thousand..."
Before Li Chenqiu could finish speaking, the woman readily agreed, "Deal!"
Li Chenqiu pursed his lips and silently closed his eyes.
He knew he had offered too much.
After putting away the Winter Night painting, Li Chenqiu hummed a little tune and left the shop in a happy mood, heading towards Li Ji's location.
At the same time, both elevators on the eighty-first floor made a "ding-dong" sound. As the elevator doors slowly opened, a large group of people walked out, instantly attracting a lot of attention.
"What... what's going on?"
"Hahaha, so many people, my business is coming... slap!"
"Is there something wrong with your brain? Do these people look like they're here to buy something?"
"They look... a bit like they're here to cause trouble!"
"Wait, the crew-cut leader seems to be Zhou Yaoguang from the Zhou Conglomerate!"
"I'll be damned, it really is him! He's a ruthless character from Star Plucking Academy!"
"What is he doing here?"
The shop assistants stayed in their respective shops, watching and discussing the group of people who walked out of the elevator.
These people were both male and female, and they all looked relatively young. It was obvious that they were students from Star Plucking Academy. After leaving the elevator, they scattered and looked around, as if they were looking for something.
Standing not far away, Li Chenqiu raised his eyebrows slightly, a bad feeling rising in his heart.
These guys aren't here to find me, are they!
Thinking of this, Li Chenqiu subconsciously pulled up his mask and continued to walk forward, but before he could take a few steps, a surprised voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"Found him, Li Chenqiu is here!"
Li Chenqiu, who was walking in front, paused. Just as he was about to turn his head, the owner of the voice had quickly come to his front, stretching out his arm to block his way.
It was a girl with a ponytail and a vest.
A flash of cold light flashed in Li Chenqiu's eyes, but he asked calmly, "Is there anything I can do for you?"
The girl ignored Li Chenqiu, but raised her arm and waved it, shouting loudly, "Li Chenqiu is here!"
When everyone heard the sound, their eyes lit up, and they hurried towards Li Chenqiu. In less than a moment, this group of people blocked all the surrounding roads.
Standing in the very center, Li Chenqiu looked around. When he saw a few bruised and swollen faces, he already understood the purpose of these people looking for him.
"Isn't this our Disciplinary Officer Li?"
"Why are you still wearing a mask in broad daylight? Show your handsome face and let us all admire it!"
"Hahahaha!!!"
The surrounding people started making fun of him, looking at Li Chenqiu with playful eyes.
At this time, a thin and tall young man with dark circles under his eyes walked out of the crowd, and said with a haughty smile, "Disciplinary Officer Li, you probably didn't expect us to meet here!"
Li Chenqiu glanced at the other party and nodded in agreement, "Indeed, after all, I don't know you."
"You!" The thin and tall young man gritted his teeth, pointing to his dark circles and saying, "This is all thanks to you!"
Li Chenqiu pretended to have a sudden realization and said, "Oh, so that's how it is. I'm really sorry that my Soul Weapon didn't poke your eyes out. It's my dereliction of duty."
"Damn it, you..."
Clap clap clap!
Just as the thin and tall young man was about to say something, a sound of clapping came from behind.
When everyone heard the movement, they retreated to both sides, making way.
Li Chenqiu looked in the direction of the sound and saw a burly young man walking towards him.
The young man had a high nose bridge, a neat crew cut, and shiny silver earrings hanging from his earlobes. Paired with that pink plaid T-shirt, he looked very punchable.
The crew-cut young man said as he walked, "Disciplinary Officer Li's eloquence is really impressive!"
"How did you find me?" Li Chenqiu asked the question in his heart.
The crew-cut young man stopped and spread out his hands, "This entire Myriad Stars Building was built with the funds from our Zhou family. How could I not know what you bought inside?"
Li Chenqiu cooperated and asked, "You are from the Zhou Conglomerate?"
"Disciplinary Officer Li, this is Zhou Yaoguang, the third-generation direct descendant of the Zhou Conglomerate, Senior Zhou Yaoguang. The vice-lord of this Myriad Stars Building is Senior Zhou's father," the minion standing aside introduced.
"Zhou Yaoguang."
Li Chenqiu muttered in a low voice, deliberately putting on a solemn look.
Using Blood Bewilderment in a situation with too many people would risk exposing his superpower.
Fighting is not allowed inside the Myriad Stars Building. For now, he can only go along with this group of people and retaliate properly after leaving the Myriad Stars Building.
Seeing Li Chenqiu reveal this expression, Zhou Yaoguang only felt extremely comfortable in his heart, his vanity greatly satisfied. He slightly raised his jaw, enjoying the worshipful gazes of the crowd.
See that? The Disciplinary Officer who acts mighty in the academy has to obediently lower his head after hearing my name and knowing my background!
"Zhou Yaoguang, what are you trying to do by having people surround me?" Li Chenqiu took off his mask, revealing his face that didn't look too good.
"Do what?" Zhou Yaoguang cracked his fingers one-handedly, making a "crack crack" sound, "What do you think I want to do?"
