After the door closed automatically, it was like someone had finally pressed the start button on the people in the room, making them snap back to reality.
Chu Ting’s face turned pale and her chest heaved up and down heavily. She gritted her teeth and said to someone beside her, “Lingzi, lend me your phone. I’m going to tell my mom about Chu Luo’s evil deeds and see how my mom will deal with her.”
While retrieving her cell phone, Lingzi asked worriedly, “Chu Luo has taken away your bank card and cell phone. How are you going to pay the bill later?”
These words immediately made the others worried.
One must know that the expenses here weren’t cheap. If not for Chu Ting’s treat, they couldn’t possibly have come to such an expensive place.
Chu Ting snorted coldly. “What are you worried about? I’ll push all the blame to Chu Luo later, and my mom will definitely transfer the money to me.”
“That’s a good idea!”
After Chu Luo walked out, she threw Chu Ting’s phone into the rubbish bin and walked towards the bar counter with her card.
Amid the deafening music, she glanced at the wine in the alcohol cabinets and pointed at the most expensive bottle. “Send that bottle to Room 2022.”

Seeing that Chu Luo was wearing a high school uniform, the bartender leaned towards her and asked deliberately, “Little girl, do you know how much it costs to order that bottle of wine?”
Chu Luo handed him the card in her hand and said with a straight face, “You can check how much money is left inside before giving me the wine.”
The bartender took the card and swiped it on the card machine before asking her to key in the password.
Chu Luo tilted her head and thought for a while. With Chu Ting’s character, she would definitely use her birthday as the password.
She entered the six digits of their shared birthday to test it out.
Unexpectedly, that was it.
When the bartender finished reading the amount, he gave her a surprised look and said, “You have over eighty thousand yuan left in your card. You won’t be able to order that bottle of wine for sure, but you can order a slightly cheaper one.”
“Sure.”
Chu Luo ordered a bottle of red wine worth over 80,000 yuan for Chu Ting and her friends before leaving.
As she left, she even said to the bartender, “Pay up later.”

After she left the entertainment city, Chu Luo’s lips arched with the bank card in her hands.
She tried to recall where the herb market or the night market that sold such stuff was.
Alas, the original Chu Luo was too introverted and had low self-esteem, so she didn’t know all these things.
Chu Luo was a little disappointed and prepared to go home first.
She didn’t expect that she wouldn’t be able to get a taxi at this time. She thought for a while and headed straight for the Chu residence.
Everything in front of her was unfamiliar scenery. Chu Luo controlled the discomfort she felt when first arriving in a foreign land and took a quick look at the flourishing time and space.
But as she walked, she felt someone following her.
Chu Luo pursed her lips coldly and turned to walk into a dark alley.
The dark alley was probably behind a place where breakfast was sold. There was rubbish everywhere. Occasionally, one or two mice would scurry past their feet. The timid ones would have been frightened to tears.
Chu Luo’s footsteps weren’t fast, and she was soon accosted by the people following her.
“Hehe, young girl, alone?”
She leaned her back against the wall and stared at them with her deer-like vigilance, looking totally harmless.
One of the young gangsters with a head full of yellow hair and a mouth full of yellow teeth was rapping an iron rod against his palm. He threatened, “Little girl, if you know what’s good for you, hand over your valuables. Otherwise…”
Chu Luo interrupted him calmly. “I don’t have money.”
Yellow Hair’s face darkened. “Who are you lying to? How can someone who’d walked out of Golden Ground Entertainment City be broke?”
Another dude with green hair said impatiently, “Since she doesn’t want to hand it over herself, we can just search for it ourselves.”
With that, he raised his hand to grab Chu Luo’s collar.
Chu Luo quickly attacked as that fellow’s hand reached over…
In less than two minutes, Chu Luo walked out of the dark alley with that same harmless look on her face.
Behind her, there were various cries of agony.
What Chu Luo didn’t know was that as soon as she left, a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses and a long coat with a string of beads made from unknown material in his hand walked out from the dark.

The middle-aged man glanced at the hooligans who were rolling on the ground and revealed an ambiguous smile. “Not bad, not bad. Looks harmless on the surface yet ruthless enough. A good seedling to be a puppet.”
