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

Chapter 61 Lu Mingfei: Old Chen is so busy that he only sent a shadow warrior? (15)

20:51,

Tonight, Aspasia has four VIP guests.

Under the dim light, the end of the long table remained empty.

This banquet was initiated by Nuonuo's father, who is also the head of the Chen family.

Although most of the people present didn't have a good impression of him, they still maintained a show of respect on the surface, at least leaving him the seat of honor... mainly because it was inconvenient to pick up food from that seat.

"Your partner is really punctual."

Lu Mingfei took a sip of water and said.

He had already given President Su a general overview of Nuonuo, Chu Zihang, and the situation tonight. Everyone present was an ally, so there was no need for misunderstandings due to a lack of information.

Although Su Jiannan was completely dumbfounded, he still accepted this series of absurd realities.

Good heavens, so the 'eldest daughter of the Chen family' isn't actually on the Chen family's side... Of course, my vigilance hasn't lessened at all; let's keep things separate.

Nono couldn't quite tell whether Lu Mingfei was praising or mocking her.

She sensed that Lu Mingfei's demeanor seemed different from when they were at the Regent Hotel that day.

It was as if he had two souls hidden inside him, one symbolizing absurdity, and the other symbolizing... even more absurdity.

And at this moment, an even more outrageous soul is gradually reviving.

This gave her a sense of impending danger, and her intuition was always very accurate.

"It should be soon," she said hesitantly.

"Oh, shall we order first? Have you ordered?" Lu Mingfei looked around but didn't see a menu on the table.

"It's already ordered," Nono said.

"What did you order?"

Lu Mingfei asked curiously, explaining that he hadn't eaten much at Su Xiaoqiang's house that evening, saving his appetite for the Michelin-starred dinner.

I heard that this stuff costs several thousand dollars just to fill a tooth gap. He wouldn't be willing to eat it even if it were paid for by Su Xiaoqiang, let alone his own money. Since he rarely gets to be treated by his enemy, he has to give it a good critique and see how it differs from the barbecue stalls at the night market.

"Cheese, pizza, fried chicken, steak, pasta, and things like that."

"That's it?" Lu Mingfei was somewhat disappointed.

"There's also spinach powder with lacquer tree powder, and fried grape leaves. You can add them if you want."

"Then let's forget it."

Lu Mingfei waved his hand dismissively, showing little interest.

Nono explained, "Italian cuisine is the precursor to French cuisine. It emphasizes the original flavor and likes to use olive oil, black olives, dry white cheese, tomatoes, spices and Marsala wine for seasoning. However, their dried meats and sausages are very good."

"As long as there's meat to eat... By the way, you seem to know quite a bit about this?"

“My boyfriend is Italian,” Nono said naturally.

A middle-aged man in the corner subtly adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses.

"Ok."

Lu Mingfei nodded, thinking to himself that putting on armor first wasn't about discrimination or anything... Could a android's boyfriend be an android?
Caesar's Bride.

Nono's tag is clearly written on it, but that guy's name is quite grand.

Wait a minute... shouldn't the bride and the boyfriend be the same thing?
We chatted casually for a few minutes, and another three minutes passed.

20:54,

Aspasia still only has four VIPs. As my senior brother explained before, the Zhou family's envoy... has already arrived in Binhai and knows the location for tonight, but he won't arrive at the beginning. He might come to the rescue in a heroic way or something.

Lu Mingfei didn't understand, but he was greatly shocked, and his senior brother seemed to be quite shocked as well.

But there should be more than that… A figure popped into Lu Mingfei’s mind.

Holy crap! Where's Lao Tang?!
Lu Mingfei finally realized that he had overlooked a very serious problem.

Old Tang, who claimed to have come ahead to scout the location, has disappeared!
Although the division of labor differed, neither Lu Mingfei nor Su Jiannan ever intended for Lao Tang to do all the dirty and tiring work while leaving Lu Mingfei to enjoy all the benefits.

It's not that cruel.

It's a Michelin three-star restaurant after all, so we still have to eat something. Su Jiannan initially signed up for three people.

There should be a stool for Old Tang at this table.

Wow—that can't be right! How could someone get lost just by giving out the address in a taxi? And the driver isn't even him!

Lu Mingfei quickly took out his phone and called Lao Tang to ask about the situation.

However, Lake Garden No. 1 seems to be a bit remote.

The signal was weak, only one bar, so I couldn't make calls, only send text messages. The text message took ages to forward before it finally went through.

‘Ding dong——’

This moment.

A thunderbolt struck from the sky, turning the floor-to-ceiling windows a ghastly white. The vertical bolt of lightning illuminated the pitch-black night sky, and the tens of thousands of volts of static voltage momentarily lit up the entire world.

The rain really started to pour.

The torrential rain pounded down, shattering into transparent flowers.

……

The entire city was hit by torrential rain.

The streets were filled with moisture, and colorful neon lights were reflected on the windshields.

"Master, the rain is getting heavier, and there's a traffic jam ahead."

Inside a black Maybach Zeppelin, Chen Moxuan, who was driving, carefully glanced through the rearview mirror at the man in the back seat who was sitting upright like a warrior terracotta warrior, with his eyes closed and seemingly resting.

Has our distinguished guest arrived?

"The restaurant said only four people came."

"Who?"

"Sister Mo Tong, Chu Zihang, Lu Mingfei, and Su Jiannan."

"Don't keep your guests waiting."

Upon hearing one of the names, a slight smile curved his lips.

"Yes."

Chen Moxuan nodded quickly, turned on the button, and the wipers swung back and forth like a crazy metronome, slicing away the layers of rainwater on the windshield and reflecting the road ahead.

He immediately turned the steering wheel quickly, and the Maybach accelerated with a roar, cutting through the traffic jam like a sharp blade.

He was a very good driver, which seemed to be the reason why the Chen family head had brought him along.

I deliberately set off right on time, then deliberately told him to drive slowly, and finally waited until the rain suddenly got heavy before telling him to speed up to avoid being late.

Everything had a deliberate feel to it, as if they were just waiting for the rain to get heavier.

However, Chen Moxuan was a smart man and knew that there was no need to ask many questions; the important people had their own ideas.

Perhaps it's just for the sake of creating a certain atmosphere?

Finally, we turned onto that quiet, tree-lined path, and everything became quiet. Outside the car window, the rain poured down, and it seemed that only the sound of water could be heard from above and below.

"Have the Zhou family members been confirmed?" The Chen family patriarch suddenly opened his eyes.

"It has been confirmed that there are a total of 8 direct descendants of the 'Yu' generation in this generation, and all of them have appeared in Xiangyang today."

This time, it was Chen Moming, who was in the passenger seat, who spoke up. He and Chen Moxuan were partners and were always inseparable.

"Very good." The head of the Chen family nodded slightly.

If there's any chance of anything unexpected happening tonight, it's the Zhou family intervening.

Non-direct descendants are not allowed to carry the Dragon-Slaying Platform; this is a rule of the Zhou family. Moreover, even if they did, it would be useless, as ordinary people cannot use that sword. He just didn't want to cause trouble in dealing with it later.

The mantis stalks the cicada...

Hmph, who is the mantis and who is the cicada?
At 20:59, a black Maybach Zeppelin pulled up in front of the Aspasia restaurant.

Chen Moxuan waved away the white-clad attendants who came forward, and personally acted as the servants who opened the door and held the umbrella.

"Let's go."

The head of the Chen family walked ahead, heading straight into the dimly lit old house.
The moment he entered, a perfectly timed, kind smile appeared on his face.

This man seemed born to be the center of attention, instantly drawing the attention of the four people behind the screen.

"Sorry, I had some things to attend to at the last minute. I hope I'm not late?" the Chen family patriarch said gently.

Looking at the smile on his face,

Lu Mingfei smiled too.

They were indeed busy, so busy that they sent a shadow warrior instead.

Yes, Shadow Warrior II.

It's quite novel.
