In his haste, Li Ru could only shout, "I promise! I promise you!"
"From now on, I won't go anywhere else. I'll stay here to guard the manor for big brother. Is that acceptable?"
Wu Tian nodded with a smile, "It's enough that you have this realization. Alright, you're not needed here anymore, you can leave."
Li Ru felt like crying without tears.
What was this all about!
His original intention was to use the opportunity of catching the thief to soar to success.
But now, he had gotten himself entangled instead???
However, given the circumstances, he had nothing to say and didn't dare to say anything more, so he left dejectedly.
Afterward, Wu Tian rested briefly in the villa before driving home.
For the next week, nothing particularly new happened. Wu Tian stayed at home, cultivating his spiritual energy and the "Heavenly Thunder Codex."
Ever since he learned the secret of spiritual energy, Wu Tian had become even more dedicated to cultivating it.
His current spiritual energy level was three, but he always felt that his spiritual energy seemed to have started showing signs of increasing.
He figured that in a while, breaking through to level four would be no problem.
As for the "Heavenly Thunder Codex," Wu Tian had made a new breakthrough, advancing from the second stage to the third stage.
These low-stage advancements didn't have many special characteristics; it was simply that the thunderous power contained within his ordinary attacks would become more profound.
Wu Tian was already getting impatient. He wished he could cultivate the "Heavenly Thunder Codex" to its highest realm quickly.
The scene of summoning a hundred thousand heavenly thunders with a raise of his hand made him feel very expectant.
Just as he was immersed in his cultivation, a sudden phone call broke his concentration.
He withdrew from his cultivation and looked at his phone, finding that the call was from Zhou Qian.
Wu Tian dared not be negligent towards Zhou Qian, so he quickly answered the call.
"Hello," Zhou Qian said on the phone, "What are you doing?"
Wu Tian casually replied, "Just staying at home, not doing anything! Is there something you need me for?"
Zhou Qian said, "You, why do you always talk like that? It's as if I always need something from you."
"Although we are not a couple now, our relationship is still intimate, isn't it? Can't I just call you to chat?"
Wu Tian quickly said, "No, no, it's my honor that you would call me. How could I say anything unnecessary!"
"Call, call me to your heart's content. I'll accompany you all day today!"
Zhou Qian couldn't help but laugh, "Alright, alright, you never speak properly."
"If you really want to accompany me, then don't accompany me over the phone. You should come over and accompany me. We'll go out together tomorrow."
Wu Tian asked doubtfully, "Go out? Go where?"
Zhou Qian replied, "I plan to go to the city tomorrow. After the branch store opened, I basically haven't been there. As the boss, I have to go and check the situation."
Wu Tian said without thinking, "If that's the case, then can't you just go by yourself? Why do you need me to go with you?"
After saying that, he regretted it, because as expected, Zhou Qian immediately got upset.
She said unhappily, "I just don't want to go alone, that's why I called you!"
"You don't want to go, right? Fine, then don't go. We'll never see each other again!"
Wu Tian's heart trembled, and he quickly said, "No, no, I misspoke. Since you've invited me, how could I not go? Wouldn't that be ungrateful?"
Zhou Qian pouted and said, "It's good that you have some conscience. Alright then, come over quickly today. I want to see you before dinner!"
Wu Tian saw that the sun was already setting and asked doubtfully, "Aren't we going tomorrow? Why do you want me to come over today?"
Zhou Qian's tone became sharp again, "Don't ask me so many questions. Are you coming or not?"
"If you don't come, then don't. I won't force you!"
Wu Tian thought to himself, You can forget it. What kind of not forcing is this? What's the difference between this and forced voluntary participation?
But Wu Tian certainly wouldn't dare to say this out loud. So, he changed his tune, "I know, I know, I'll be right over. You must wait for me!"
After speaking, Wu Tian didn't dare to delay any longer. He quickly went downstairs, got into his car, and sped towards the county town.
He originally thought that Zhou Qian called him over so early because there was something important.
But when he got there, he realized that Zhou Qian had nothing important to do; she just wanted to see him.
They hadn't seen each other for some time, and Zhou Qian had already become somewhat impatient.
It was only eight o'clock in the evening when she pulled Wu Tian into her bedroom.
That night was inevitably a wild one. Zhou Qian's powerful stamina kept this wildness going until six o'clock in the morning.
They slept for a while in the morning and then set off for the city in the afternoon.
Wu Tian also saw the branch store for the first time after its opening. This branch store was quite grand, with three floors and a considerable area.
Even though it was past lunchtime, the restaurant was still bustling with customers, and many were even waiting outside for a table.
Seeing this, Wu Tian couldn't help but exclaim, "Your business is really good. This business is comparable to the one in the county town, isn't it? It's truly amazing."
Zhou Qian smiled and said, "It sounds like you're praising me, but in reality, you're praising your own premium cabbage, aren't you? After all, everyone comes for your cabbage!"
Wu Tian laughed, "Since the premium cabbage is so amazing, why don't you open a few more branches?"
"If you open branches all over the country, you'll be a renowned entrepreneur!"
Zhou Qian gave him a look, "Don't joke. You just want to push me into a corner. Besides, if I really open branches all over the country, it'll be a problem whether you can supply the goods!"
Wu Tian thought about it and realized Zhou Qian had a point.
Moreover, the premium cabbage was all cultivated by him using spiritual energy.
Currently, with only two stores, he could still manage. But if the number grew larger, he would truly be overwhelmed.
Thinking about having to cultivate cabbage during the day and satisfy Zhou Qian at night made him shudder, and his lower back started to ache faintly.
Afterward, the two went to the office to listen to the branch store manager's work report.
The report lasted for over an hour, and the content was all good news, which made Zhou Qian very happy.
After the meeting, they returned to the dining hall, intending to go out for a stroll.
But at this moment, something unexpected happened.
