Chapter 498 - The Chu Family Cheated (1/2)

He stood there for the whole night.

Finally, he left directly to his office when it was dawn. Du Jingtang was flabbergasted when he saw Chu Lui arrived wearing clothes as crumpled as pickled vegetables.

”Brother, what were you doing there? Why are you torturing yourself like this?” He pulled Chu Lui's sleeve and smelled him. Gosh. The smell of cigarettes was awful.

Chu Lui pulled his sleeve back while he looked at Du Jingtang.

”Are you too free?”

”It's alright.” Naturally, Du Jingtang wouldn't say he was idle. In fact, he had too much free time on his hands, with Chu Lui doing all the things himself. To put things plainly, Du Jingtang couldn't care less as a deputy. After all, he was there for show which would explain why he was so idle.

”Go back and get a fresh shirt for me.” He took out a key from his pocket.

Du Jingtang fumbled and caught it with both hands. He held it tightly against his chest.

”And the car key?” He reached out towards Chu Lui.

Not being a miser, Chu Lui tossed another key to him before going into his own office.

Du Jingtang shook the two keys in his hand. Well now, he was going out to let off some steam.

Chu Lui entered his office and felt the tightness in his forehead as soon as he sat down. He rubbed his eyebrows gently. Soreness was gathering in his eyes. He cheered himself up while he turned on his computer with one hand. With the other, he took a doc.u.ment from the side of the table and started flipping through it.

When his personal mobile phone rang, he put the doc.u.ment aside. He started to feel weaker the moment he saw the call was from Song Wan.

”Hello, Mom. Do you need me for something?” With one hand on his temple, he closed his eyes as the weariness began again.

”Ah Lui. Son, I need your help.”

”Okay.” Chu Lui rubbed his eyebrows again. At the same time, he had memorized Song Wan's words.

When Du Jingtang entered, he saw Chu Lui leaning on his side against the chair sound asleep. His body was exhausted. Even a layer of greenish-gray eye bag had acc.u.mulated beneath his eyes.

He carefully placed the clothes on the sofa, followed by the two keys from Chu Lui. Finally, he walked out of the office as lightly as he could manage. Chu Lui was still asleep when he closed the door.

”Had he became a thief at night? Why was he so tired?”

Du Jingtang stood outside and mumbled to himself before he returned to his office to waste time.

Chu Lui drove to the kindergarten and stopped his car outside. He strode directly into the director's office.

”Mr. Chu, I don't think this is a good idea.” The director was in a tight spot. They were talking about children. Even the a.d.u.l.ts who had spent a long time with the children had been influenced by their naivety and innocence.

How could he subject the children to the plotting and dirty transactions in the a.d.u.l.ts' world?

”Five-hundred thousand.” Chu Lui's thin lips parted as he spat the amount out. It was soft but shocking.

The director hesitated. Five hundred thousand could add many things for the kindergarten and propel it into the next level. However, was he really going to let his conscience be bought by the five-hundred thousand and also hurt an innocent child?

Chu Lui tapped his finger gently against his kneecap. In fact, he was getting impatient. He didn't want to waste his time here.
