29: Chapter 29 Absolutely Certain, This Matter Is Definitely Not Simple

Office area.

Every staff member was bustling with activity, working at a feverish pace.

Seeing Luo Wei appear lazily, someone immediately took offense.

"Luo Wei, you're really something. We didn't see a trace of you all day yesterday."

"And now it's past ten o'clock, and you're only just showing up for work!"

Faced with this complaint, before Luo Wei could say anything,

the pot-bellied team leader, Team Leader Li Guangbiao, was the first to launch an attack!

"Luo Wei was helping Vice CEO Shen with her business yesterday!"

"And Luo Wei was out running errands early this morning!"

"Instead of always staring at others, think more about how to improve your own professional skills!"

After reprimanding them, the pot-bellied Team Leader Li Guangbiao gave Luo Wei what he thought was a friendly smile.

Everyone had never seen Pig Head Li defend an employee like this before.

They weren't fools; they all guessed that Luo Wei had connections.

That's why Pig Head Li was so eager to defend him.

After nodding his thanks to Team Leader Li Guangbiao,

Luo Wei walked to his workstation and sat down.

Chen Aila, reeking of office drudgery, immediately leaned over, eager for gossip.

"You're really something, kid. Did you latch onto Vice CEO Shen's powerful connections? Otherwise, why would Pig Head Li speak up for you?"

"By the way, does Vice CEO Shen's long legs need any more accessories? I want to latch on too!"

Luo Wei ignored Chen Aila's teasing.

He reached out and casually swiped an apple from the short-haired beauty's desk.

He hadn't eaten breakfast yet, and his stomach was growling with hunger.

Chen Aila didn't mind such things.

She was staring straight at the clothes Luo Wei was wearing.

"Wow, you really have latched onto some rich woman!"

"This is a foreign brand; one piece costs a month's salary!"

"I don't believe you'd be willing to buy it yourself. A rich woman must have given it to you!"

"It's a knock-off!" Luo Wei explained casually.

"I don't believe you!" Chen Aila trusted her own judgment.

"Speaking of which, you asked me to introduce you to a real estate agent before. You must be a Pretty Boy; otherwise, how could you afford to buy a house?"

Faced with the jab, Luo Wei naturally retorted without hesitation, "We work at the same company, in the same position. If you can afford to buy a house, why can't I?"

Chen Aila was somewhat tongue-tied. She stammered a rebuttal, "I, I have my family supporting me!"

Luo Wei asked with amusement, "Don't I have family support either?"

The two were merely colleagues.

Chen Aila naturally didn't know the details of Luo Wei's family situation.

After a moment of frustration, this gossipy slacking buddy changed the subject. "Are you buying a house because you're planning to get married?"

"Get married to whom?" Luo Wei finished the apple in a few bites. "We broke up. She said I couldn't give her the happiness she wanted."

"Oh—" Chen Aila suddenly understood. "No wonder you're suddenly buying a house. Looks like you're doing it to prove a point!"

"That's exactly it!" Luo Wei chuckled and tossed the apple core into the trash.

Chen Aila handled her work while idly chatting with Luo Wei.

Luo Wei didn't even turn on his computer; he just sat at his workstation playing games on his phone.

Unconsciously, noon arrived.

Some colleagues pooled orders for takeout, some took out their lunchboxes to heat in the microwave, and others went out to solve their lunch.

Luo Wei had always brought his own lunch to the company, while Chen Aila preferred to go out to fill her stomach.

Picking up her bag, Chen Aila walked out with light steps.

Luo Wei put away his phone and followed at a leisurely pace.

He didn't know what danger Chen Aila might encounter.

Luo Wei didn't stay too far away, lest he be unable to help if Chen Aila was in danger.

Entering the same elevator as Chen Aila, the elevator was packed with a crowd of people. Chen Aila, playing on her phone, didn't notice Luo Wei.

The elevator smoothly reached the first floor without any malfunctions.

Chen Aila followed the crowd out of the company's main entrance.

The building didn't experience any falling exterior walls or objects thrown from a height.

In other words, Chen Aila might encounter dangers like a traffic accident.

Luo Wei perked up and followed Chen Aila closely.

At that moment, Chen Aila stood at the crosswalk waiting for the red light.

Luo Wei warily watched the endless stream of vehicles on the street, trying to spot if any car might lose control.

Soon, the green light lit up. Chen Aila, playing on her phone, followed the pedestrians walking on the crosswalk.

At that moment, a person in the crowd suddenly started running without warning. He grabbed Chen Aila's handbag and yanked it hard!

The bag's strap snapped instantly. Chen Aila, pulled by the inertia, fell toward the ground!

Luo Wei had thought Chen Aila might encounter a danger like a traffic accident.

He never expected she'd be robbed of her bag in broad daylight!

Seeing Chen Aila about to hit the ground hard, he quickly stepped forward and caught her!

Chen Aila's eyes were tightly shut, thinking she would fall badly, but the expected pain didn't come.

"Stand up!" A familiar voice sounded in her ear. Chen Aila trembled and opened her eyes to see an enraged Luo Wei!

"Pick up your phone!" After helping Chen Aila up, Luo Wei didn't have time to pick up her phone that had fallen on the ground. He charged forward like a leopard!

Chen Aila was stunned speechless. The person who had robbed her bag had already run over a hundred meters away!

But Luo Wei was like a bolt of lightning; it felt like he only took two or three steps forward!

He actually caught up to the bag snatcher!

After all, Luo Wei had taken the miraculous body strengthening fluid!

His physique had long surpassed that of an ordinary person, so catching up to the bag snatcher effortlessly was only natural!

Catching up to the man, Luo Wei directly flew into a kick, striking him in the back!

The bag snatcher was a yellow-haired youth around twenty years old.

He had a sly, rat-like appearance. After taking the kick, he stumbled forward and fell face-first!

Before he could get up, Luo Wei stepped on his back and snatched Chen Aila's bag back from his hand!

The yellow-haired youth lying on the ground had broken front teeth and a bloody nose from the fall, his face a pitiful mess of pain!

He struggled to turn his head. Seeing it was Luo Wei stepping on him, his eyes were filled with shock!

The yellow-haired youth's reaction was extremely strange. He should have been panicked after being caught.

But he wasn't panicked; instead, his face was full of surprise and shock!

Luo Wei found this very strange!

Come to think of it, people nowadays hardly use cash.

The bag probably only contained things like tissues and cosmetics.

Snatching a bag isn't even as profitable as stealing a phone!

Yet this yellow-haired youth, ignoring Chen Aila's phone, chose to snatch her bag instead!

This matter was too bizarre. And just then, Luo Wei clearly felt a malicious gaze nearby!

Unfortunately, this was a busy street with many people stopping to watch the commotion.

He looked around in all directions but couldn't find who had cast that malicious gaze!

But he was one hundred percent certain that this matter was absolutely not simple...
