Dragon Clan: I am Lu Mingfei, the Intelligence Strategist, the God of Concepts!

Chapter 52 Take me to Portugal to meet your mother! ?
Hearing the sound outside the door,
Su Jiannan was clearly taken aback for a moment, then a fatherly smile appeared on his face.

"That's my daughter outside, haha, sorry, I haven't been very strict with her. Please wait a moment, I'll go first... Hey, why do you look so pale? Is the air conditioning too high?"

Lu Mingfei: "Haha, no."

"Oh, oh." Su Jiannan, without suspecting anything, strode to open the door with the mindset of getting things settled as soon as possible.

Having barely managed to get through Su Jiannan, Lu Mingfei felt no relief whatsoever; instead, he inexplicably began to feel tense.

This is unbelievable! Why is the little celestial maiden here at this time?!
Those distinctive footsteps were so familiar, and Su Jiannan was such a reliable guy, he'd never hired a female secretary before! Who else could it be but Little Fairy at a time like this?

The girl's clear voice then completely confirmed his guess!

I hope they don't find me... I hope they don't find me...

squeak-

The door opened.

A young girl stood at the door, wearing a light pink trench coat. Her skin was as smooth as mutton fat, and her face was charming with a hint of pride.

Every time she comes to the Su Group, she dresses up beautifully, which makes her father proud and makes him happier.

"Xiaoqiang, Dad is chatting with our distinguished guests. He'll talk to you later. Go wait over there for a moment," Su Jiannan said gently.

"Oh, oh." Su Xiaoqiang stuck out her tongue, realizing that she had been reckless.

But it's not really her fault. The Su Group has been very busy lately. Most of the familiar uncles and aunts, including her personal secretary, have gone to the mine or gone home to rest. The company building is deserted.

She had no idea that her father was having a meeting with someone else.

Of course, an apology is still necessary.

Su Xiaoqiang immediately put on the sweet smile that always worked when dealing with elders, and poked her pretty little head into the office.

"I'm sorry... Hey, Lu... Lu Mingfei?"

Her smile suddenly froze.

hum.

Lu Mingfei's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, instantly died, and he gave an awkward but polite smile.

"Ha...Hi!"

……

in the office.

Four people sat around a stove, brewing tea; the atmosphere was... chilly.

"So, Mr. Lu, oh, hehe, Lu is also Shilan's classmate." Su Jiannan said dryly, trying to warm up the atmosphere, his words clearly lacking his usual composure and calmness.

"Haha, what a coincidence," Lu Mingfei said in a similarly dry tone.

"Yes, yes, what a coincidence..."

...What a ghost!

Su Jiannan roared inwardly like a middle-aged man.

Previously, he didn't know Lu Mingfei and Lao Tang's real names, only that one was called 'Mingming' and the other 'Lao Tang'.

That's alright. After all, hunters are a mysterious group, and their identities are mostly kept secret. It's common for them not to reveal their real names.

Now that we know the true identity of this Hunter Rising Star... it's nothing!
Isn't it normal for a prestigious high school like Shilan High School to produce a hunter? After all, there's a martial arts master before, a national swimming team champion after, so it's only natural that another hero capable of slaying Deadpool would emerge.

Of course, it would be even more reasonable if the hunter happened to be his daughter's classmate.

Coincidences always happen one after another.

But only... Lu Mingfei!

Why the hell do you have this name?

Su Jiannan had certainly heard of Lu Mingfei.

Back then, my precious daughter, whom I had cherished for fifteen years, came home with a sullen face on her first day of school. She threw down her schoolbag, locked herself in her room, and started beating the doll on the bed while constantly muttering this name.

Just then, the old man was carrying fruit to the door, ready to offer his greetings. He overheard everything and immediately flew into a rage. That very night, he sent his men to find out all the details about the villain who dared to bully Su Xiaoqiang.

But when I looked closer, something seemed off!

How could it be so tragic...

After inquiring about what had happened, Su Jiannan's anger subsided, and he didn't send anyone to ambush him with a steel pipe after school.

but now……

Su Jiannan's eagle-like gaze swept across Su Xiaoqiang's face.

She didn't glance at Lu Mingfei's face again, because... it was no longer necessary.

"Dad, what are you looking at?" Su Xiaoqiang said coquettishly, her cheeks flushed with a thousand charms.

"hehe."

Su Jiannan gave a forced smile, but inwardly he felt increasingly disgusted.

No one knows a daughter better than her father. His daughter has always been known for her fiery temper; when has she ever blushed like this before? And this man surnamed Lu, who was just moments before looking down on the world and talking eloquently, why has he suddenly turned into a quail egg?
Wait, what's going on between you two?!
Su Jiannan was suddenly overcome with grief.

I feel like my precious pearl and jade cabbage, which I've raised for over a decade, is about to be eaten by some wild boar that came out of nowhere.

'Jingle Bell--'

Suddenly, the phone rang.

Su Jiannan's expression immediately turned serious as he looked at the contact on the screen. The moment the call connected, the middle-aged man's voice was as steady as a mountain.

"Hello, this is Su Jiannan..."

"What? Absolutely not! The matter isn't resolved yet; we can't let them go down into the mine..."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

A moment later, Su Jiannan stood up and straightened his clothes. "Something happened at the mine. I need to go there."

"Do you need us to come together?"

Lu Mingfei immediately stood up, his gaze intense.

Su Jiannan was clearly taken aback for a moment, then his eyes softened slightly, and he said in a complicated tone, "No need, it's the workers' business, I'll go and appease them."

"You and Xiaoqiang are classmates, you two... should have a good talk."

"Alright," Lu Mingfei said with some regret. So it wasn't another monster spawn.

Then he remembered something and quickly said, "President Su, just send a text message before dinner on the 15th, and I will be there on time."

Su Jiannan paused at the doorway.

"it is good."

With that, he sighed and strode away.

……

After Su Jiannan left,

Instead of the lively conversation he had hoped for, the atmosphere inside the room became even colder.

No one spoke.

Lu Mingfei kept his eyes focused on his nose, his nose on his mouth, and his mouth on his heart. His gaze swept from the ceiling to the floor, then over the calligraphy and painting on the wall, and the exquisite porcelain in the cabinet.

Occasionally, it would glimpse the silent, beautiful figure across the way, then gently drift away without leaving a trace.

Since that day when he played games in Su Xiaoqiang's study, apart from politely asking her for a computer configuration list on QQ, and then her politely sending him a long message, the two have had no further contact.

Even now, he still doesn't understand what their relationship is.

It's hard to say there's a connection, but something just doesn't feel right.

I said it was okay, but why is Su Xiaoqiang's face so red now...? Why do I feel flustered again?
Okay, I get it now!

Lu Mingfei suddenly said, "Old Tang, go to the restroom and wait for me."

"???"

Old Tang looked completely bewildered. "I don't want to go to the toilet!"

"No, you want to."

"..."

After a moment of stalemate, Old Tang stood up sullenly. Wasn't this just bullying an honest person?

boom!
The door is closed.

Only the two of them remained in the room. Su Xiaoqiang, who had almost buried her head in her knees, finally raised it slightly.

"What... are you doing in my dad's office?" Her voice was barely audible.

Upon seeing Lu Mingfei, she was suddenly reminded of what happened that night; she had truly been bewitched back then… The conversation she overheard between Lu Mingfei and her father just now made her almost unable to believe her ears.

What did Lu Mingfei say...?

Should we invite him to dinner on the fifteenth?

It's already strange enough that an outsider like you would volunteer for the mining operation!

So, on the Lantern Festival, a day for family reunion, I still have to invite you to dinner?
And this old comrade Su actually said 'good'?
No, what exactly did you two talk about while I was away?

Did they ask for my opinion as the person involved?

Logically speaking,

Su Xiaoqiang's mind was in complete turmoil, and she felt dizzy. Her ears turned red without her even realizing it.

"Uh, your dad and I were talking about...business?"

Lu Mingfei racked his brains and barely managed to come up with a somewhat fitting word.

It's clear that Su Jiannan doesn't want to bring Su Xiaoqiang into this circle, since he himself is a marginal figure, so Lu Mingfei naturally won't say anything.

however,
hear the word.

Su Xiaoqiang's rosy cheeks visibly stiffened, her pretty eyebrows furrowing as she emphasized, "Business?"

"Yes, yes, business." Lu Mingfei quickly put on a fawning smile.

Su Xiaoqiang's face immediately showed displeasure.

What do you mean?
I've become a business in your eyes? Can you... show a little respect?

However, seeing Lu Mingfei's hesitant and helpless expression,

Her heart softened for some reason, and she sighed, "Alright, alright."

"I'm going to Portugal in the next couple of days. You should come with me. It'll be a good opportunity to meet my mother. Remember to behave well; she's not as easy to talk to as my father."
