Chapter 166 Shadow Club
An hour ago, Lu Chengyuan was in a meeting.
Although his phone was on silent mode, he had set a special reminder so that his phone would vibrate whenever there was any message related to Xia Qingluo.
So, he saw Xia Qingluo’s latest Weibo post.
It was a group photo. In the photo, Xia Qingluo was smiling brightly, like a flower blooming in spring. Those employees with extremely good looks were also smiling happily. The whole picture was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
But Lu Chengyuan felt that it was too awkward, because he knew that Xia Qingluo seldom posted on Weibo. Compared with posting some messy dance videos and selfies every day, Xia Qingluo preferred to spend his time on filming.
When she was still an unknown celebrity, she didn't like to post on Weibo because she would be scolded and it would affect her work enthusiasm.
The TV series she starred in recently became very popular, and Xia Qingluo didn't need to post on Weibo, because even if she was not active, she would still receive endless praises.
Xia Qingluo suddenly posted such a Weibo, and specifically attached the positioning of VL Company, which was obviously unusual.
Lu Chengyuan was very perceptive. He immediately realized that this might be a message for help from Xia Qingluo. She might feel that she was in danger.
Combined with the information he had investigated about the Colosseum, he couldn't help but connect the dots, so he hurried over.
Xia Qingluo's eyelashes trembled. Her Weibo post was indeed a cry for help, in order to provide clues in case of any unexpected events.
On the other hand, it is also used as a bargaining chip to pose a potential threat to Cohen.
But she didn't expect Lu Chengyuan to notice this Weibo post first.
Lu Chengyuan has been in Guangcheng for nearly a month, and there will definitely be a mountain of work waiting for him when he returns to the capital.
Such a busy person probably doesn't have time to pay attention to her Weibo, right?
Lu Chengyuan seemed to have guessed what the person in his arms was thinking, and explained in a low voice: "You are number one in my heart."
Xia Qingluo pursed her lips gently, feeling a warm current of courage in her heart. She was still not used to these sudden love words.
If you're worried, just worry. Why tease her?
Xia Qingluo's nose moved slightly, and she sniffed the fresh breath in the man's arms. Then she suddenly realized that Lu Chengyuan was still holding her.
She could even hear the people around her talking about it.
"Are those two people celebrities? Why do they look so good?"
"Absolutely! Both of their legs are longer than my life!"
"Do you think these two people look familiar? I feel like you've seen them somewhere before?"
"I can't see his face, but now that you mention it, he does look familiar..."
Xia Qingluo's face turned pale, and she buried her head in Lu Chengyuan's arms, trying to block people's sight. "I know you care about me, but can you let me go?"
Lu Chengyuan could naturally hear it, and there were already many people gathered around watching.
Although he really liked the feeling of Xia Qingluo rubbing her head against his arms, if he stayed any longer, it would indeed cause trouble to Xia Qingluo.
Lu Chengyuan hurriedly put on Xia Qingluo's sweatshirt hood, pulled her into the car, isolated her from the crowd outside, and drove away quickly.
"What happened at VL Company?" Lu Chengyuan held the steering wheel with his bony hands.
Xia Qingluo casually lowered his eyes and looked at his palms. The palms of his hands were a little red because he had slapped himself too hard just now.
Lu Chengyuan noticed her little action, and his eyes instantly became sharp, "Who hit your palm?"
Xia Qingluo pulled the corner of his lips lightly, "No, I hit someone with my hand."
She told Lu Chengyuan what had just happened in Cohen's office and the information she learned from Cohen.
There was nothing to hide from him about this.
Since Lu Chengyuan knows who is behind Xia Wan'er, it means he is also involved.
As people in the same game, we naturally have to share information.
Lu Chengyuan put away the fierce look in his eyes and curled the corners of his lips, "It's good that I didn't suffer any loss."
Xia Qingluo turned her head to look at Lu Chengyuan's extremely chiseled profile and blinked, "Cohen didn't tell me who is behind Xia Wan'er, but didn't you say you knew?"
"You should tell me now, right?"
Lu Chengyuan frowned slightly and no longer hid it from Xia Qingluo, "The person behind Xia Wan'er is a member of the Shadow Club."
Xia Qingluo frowned slightly, feeling particularly unfamiliar with this name.
Lu Chengyuan held the steering wheel and curled his lips, "If you want to know more, you can search on foreign websites."
Xia Qingluo tapped the screen with his fingers, and after fiddling with it for a while, he actually found information about the Shadow Society.
The history of the Shadow Society can even be traced back to three hundred years ago, which is even older and more profound than she had imagined.
The organization has a huge number of members spread all over the world, including many European social elites, such as politicians, mathematicians, physicists, artists, etc.
There are many mysterious legends about the Shadow Society. Some say that the Shadow Society predicts the future of the world.
To be precise, it is not called prophecy. Some major turning points in world history seem to be related to them.
They are not just prophets, but more like planners and manipulators behind the scenes.
Certain great revolutions in history, events that changed the fate of a country or even the world, the mysterious assassinations of certain important figures, and even the sudden death of a queen of a certain country, behind these events there seemed to be the shadow of the Shadow Society controlling everything.
Their personnel are also spread all over the country and embedded in governments and large enterprises.
Xia Qingluo originally thought that the Colosseum was the darkest and most dangerous place she had ever seen.
She was shocked that such a cruel and violent place could exist in the civilized world.
But now, she realizes that the Colosseum may be just the tip of the iceberg and not worth mentioning.
If the Shadow Society is really capable of planning those major historical events, then how huge and terrifying their power will be...
Xia Qingluo knew that the power behind Xia Wan'er should not be underestimated, but she had never imagined that this force was so powerful that it could almost compete with the entire world.
Xia Qingluo felt a chill rising up her spine, and she realized that she had already been drawn into a dangerous vortex that was far beyond her imagination.
She held the phone in silence for a long time before turning to look at Lu Chengyuan, "How did you know?"
Lu Chengyuan lowered his eyes to hide the depth in his eyes, but the suddenly bulging blue veins on the back of his hand had already exposed his emotions.
His throat felt a little sore, but he still tried his best to suppress his emotions so that his voice would not tremble. "This is the secret."
In the previous life, he? Because of this, he missed the call from Xia Qingluo and missed the best chance to save Xia Qingluo.
He has been investigating the cause of his parents' death since he was ten years old.
Before that, he had always suspected that his parents' deaths were related to Xia Qingluo's parents.
