Chapter 280: The Return
Chapter 280: The Return
Lu Wu and Lu Hai Kong had agreed that he would only stay for a day.
In reality, Lu Wu and Dudu ended up staying at the farm for an entire week.
The main reason was that Li Ruyu refused to let them go.
Moreover, when Lu Wu had tricked Lu Hai Kong, he mentioned that he was quite free at the moment and could stay for a few more days without any issues.
So, Li Ruyu wouldn't let Lu Wu leave no matter what.
The problem was mainly with Dudu, whom Li Ruyu was holding onto.
Dudu used to grow so quickly; in ten days, she could gain over twenty pounds.
But this time, Li Ruyu noticed that Dudu wasn't gaining weight.
Throughout the week, they constantly fed her, and she had already devoured several cows, yet her weight remained stagnant around 140 pounds.
Even at 140 pounds, Dudu was already adorable, and anyone with sight could tell that if she lost weight, she would undoubtedly become incredibly beautiful.
Yet, she just couldn't put on weight.
This made Li Ruyu extremely anxious.
So, Li Ruyu changed her strategy; since she couldn't fatten Dudu up, she decided to trick her.
She wanted Lu Wu to quickly settle down and start a family.
Thus, starting from the fifth day of Lu Wu's return, he had to listen to Li Ruyu's demand for grandchildren more than ten times a day.
Lu Hai Kong even supported this idea, constantly cheering from the sidelines.
Lu Wu almost felt his spirit withering under the pressure.
Lu Wu quickly fled with Dudu as if they were escaping.
"I'll leave you here; the rest of the way, you'll have to walk back by yourselves."
Lu Hai Kong dropped Lu Wu and Dudu off at a corner of Fuchen City and vanished with a flash.
As Lu Hai Kong watched Lu Wu leave, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Before he could even finish exhaling, Lu Wu suddenly reappeared in front of him.
"Oh, right, don't forget about the grandchild. Arrange it as soon as possible!"
"Get lost!"
Lu Wu's face darkened, and he kicked the old man away.
It was clear that the old man and this matter had thoroughly annoyed him.
Dudu, holding a pig and tugging at Lu Wu's clothes, lowered her head and blushed, indicating that she had some thoughts about the 'grandchild'.
Lu Wu responded, "When you reach a hundred pounds, that's when we'll have a child!"
He was joking, as Lu Wu was a man who guarded his chastity, and it wasn't easy to get him.
Afterward, Lu Wu looked around, took out Little Skeleton's phone, and casually called Li Kai.
"Li Kai?" The other party immediately recognized Lu Wu's voice, feeling both surprised and delighted.
It had been almost a month since Lu Wu was kidnapped, and during this time, he hadn't contacted anyone except for Dudu, including Li Kai.
The main reason was that Lu Hai Kong was worried about their hideout being exposed, so this was Li Kai's first time receiving news from Lu Wu, naturally making him both surprised and delighted.
"It's me, Li Kai. I'm at this location; come and pick me up."
Lu Wu sent Li Kai his location.
Li Kai was quick; in less than half an hour, he drove to the designated spot, even bringing the old man along to ensure safety.
"Mr. Lu, is it really you? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine; I just went out for a stroll."
As Lu Wu spoke, he glared at the old man, who was an unreliable bodyguard: "You're not getting your salary for this month or last month!"
The old man smiled awkwardly, feeling too embarrassed to say anything.
Indeed, he hadn't been a very competent bodyguard.
Lu Wu also knew that the old man was to blame for all this, so he didn't bother arguing with him.
Turning to Li Kai, Lu Wu asked, "How have the company and school been doing this past month?
"The company is doing well, although the production of the Steel Armored Wild Pig Evolution Kit and Snowman Doll Evolution Package has halted due to your absence, it's not a major issue. However, the situation at Jiangnan University is quite different."
"Firstly, there have been issues with the school's online store. Many customers are demanding refunds and compensation due to delayed deliveries."
"Additionally, several students have been injured during tasks, and their parents have been causing a scene at the school."
...
On his way back, Li Kai briefed Lu Wu on the current situation at Jiangnan University.
In summary, it all boiled down to one statement:
"Without Lu Wu, Jiangnan University is in complete chaos!"
Lu Wu wasn't overly surprised by this news.
The university's development had revolved around him.
With his presence, Jiangnan University had flourished, and its various problems had been resolved.
It was only natural that things would become chaotic in his absence.
These were not major concerns.
As long as he returned to Jiangnan University, everything would be resolved.
However, Lu Wu soon realized that the situation might be worse than he had anticipated.
"Also, Principal Zhang's old injury relapsed recently, and he's been hospitalized for treatment. Currently, Principal Limingrui is acting in his place."
"And just as you returned today, a group from Jiangbei University arrived."
"Jiangbei University?" Lu Wu asked, taken aback for a moment before realizing, "Is it Zhang Yuchu leading them? They must be here to collect the debt."
"It's not Principal Zhang," Li Kai clarified. "After your disappearance, he also left the school and hasn't returned. The current leader is a young teacher, accompanied by a group of students. They seem to be here for the final battle of their study exchange."
Lu Wu was surprised to hear that Zhang Yuchu wasn't leading the group, but he didn't dwell on it.
Instead, he asked about another matter.
"By the way, did you take care of the matter I asked you to handle in the Dungeon Secret Realm?"
Lu Wu was referring to Lin Jianying's remains.
He had given this task long ago, but it hadn't been completed.
The reason was that although Lu Wu had seen Lin Jianying's death in Dogzi's memories, they weren't detailed enough for precise location. He had to rely on extracting information from Wu Mei.
She had been uncooperative until just before Lu Wu was captured by Yan Ruxue.
Now, over half a month had passed, and the remains should have been recovered by now.
"I'm sorry," Li Kai replied. "We sent people to dig up the entire area around the target, but we still couldn't find it."
Lu Wu's eyes narrowed at this news.
"Keep searching until you find it!"
...
As Lu Wu and Li Kai conversed, their vehicle entered the Jiangnan University campus.
At that moment, a study exchange battle was taking place in the First Training Ground of Jiangnan University.
The leader of the Jiangbei University study exchange group watched the one-sided combat in the training ground with a slight smile. He turned to Principal Limingrui and said, "I heard that you've been making improvements for three months, and your overall progress is impressive. But it seems like your modifications haven't been very effective!"
...
My adorable niece has arrived, but I'm not sure if there will be an update tonight.
