Huh? Why did I conclude that the older man adopted me?

Nono had nowhere else to go.

With Chen Chen dead, Nuonuo, the instigator, could no longer stay in the Chen family and would be hunted down. She could only wander the world with Lu Mingfei.

It sounds good, too. Free and unrestrained.

Nuonuo's thoughts were scattered. When she entered the restaurant area, her body stiffened slightly. There was only one middle-aged man in the huge restaurant.

The other party was dressed in a suit and tie, with an extraordinary appearance; he was a more elegant and proper older man than Lu Mingfei.

But Nuonuo loathed and even hated this middle-aged man, Chen Chen, Nuonuo's nominal father.

"I have long admired your name, Mr. Ricardo."

Unlike his warm demeanor when talking about Nuonuo on the phone, Chen Chen didn't even glance at Lu Mingfei, his gaze fixed straight on him as he smiled.

Lu Mingfei held Nuonuo's trembling little hand and asked her, "What do you want for breakfast? How about savory tofu pudding?"

Nono raised her head, took a deep breath, and said firmly, "Sweet tofu pudding!"

Chen Chen squinted.

Chapter 176 Seeds are like dandelions

Chen Chen was, after all, a man of composure. He did not get angry at Lu Mingfei's deliberate disregard, and he kept his emotions hidden.

I ordered two breakfasts: firm tofu with scallion pancakes and a braised egg. It was absolutely delicious.

Lu Mingfei chose a seat facing Chen Chen and slowly began to eat breakfast with Nuonuo.

Chen Chen remained motionless, silent, calmly watching the two.

On the other side, Nuonuo, with her back to Chen Chen, whispered, "Are you confident you can take down Chen Chen now?"

"It would cause trouble for the hotel owners. Who would dare stay in a hotel where someone has died?"

“That’s true. So where are you planning to make your move?” Nono made a throat-slitting gesture.

"you guess."

"I won't guess. I always said that people who like savory tofu pudding are all bad-hearted."

"Your sweeping generalization is no less than regional discrimination."

"whee."

After finishing breakfast, Lu Mingfei glanced back at the group of people blocking the door. They were dressed casually, and their style couldn't compare to the men in black from Rongcheng, but their aura was extraordinary.

Their strength is roughly equivalent to an A-level hybrid elite unit.

Of course, in Lu Mingfei's eyes, he was no different from an ordinary person.

"Mr. Li, I heard you accepted my daughter's request to come and kill me?" Chen Chen spoke slowly, his deep eyes fixed on Lu Mingfei, his expression indifferent.

"hold head high."

"I truly admire Mr. Li's composure. Please."

"You lead the way."

As Lu Mingfei pulled Nuonuo along with Chen Chen out of the restaurant, he could feel a strong sense of hostility and oppression as they passed by the elite units.

The feeling of oppression is equivalent to a baby kitten hissing at you.

Several luxury cars had lined up outside the hotel. Chen Chen got into the first car, while Lu Mingfei and Nuonuo were in the middle, forming a pincer movement with the cars in front and behind.

The sky was overcast, and a strong wind was blowing, foreshadowing a rain.

Along the way, Nuonuo was a little nervous. Her hand was held by Lu Mingfei's hand, and she pursed her lips.

Suddenly, Nono exclaimed, "I left my garlic sprouts at the hotel!"

"Just remember to come back and pick it up."

"Can we go back?" Nono turned her head and asked a strange question.

In her view, Lu Mingfei, as the world's number one assassin, must be very strong, but this is just a concept without any concrete manifestation.

Just like in the classic debate, Lu Mingfei rarely makes a move, giving Nono the impression that his strength is only at the level of breaking bricks, represented by the M1917 Browning heavy machine gun.

Therefore, when the two went to the Chen family, which had many experts, it was like throwing good money after bad – a one-way trip.

It would have been better to just explode it at the hotel restaurant; maybe then we could have killed Chen Chen and escaped with Xiao Suanmiao.

“I’ve paid rent for a year. Wouldn’t it be a huge loss if I didn’t go back to live there? I’d still have to split the utility bills with my neighbors,” Lu Mingfei said seriously.

“That’s a huge loss,” Nono said.

Oh well, I'll just take it one step at a time.

Believe first, then question.

The Chen family owns a large estate.

Chen Chen owns many properties around the world, but Yanchuan City is just one that he prefers to live in year-round.

The ornate iron gate opened, and vehicles drove in one after another.

After getting out of the car, Lu Mingfei observed the manor, taking in a large expanse of flat lawn.

The camphor trees, layer upon layer, block out the sunlight, while the main building, which combines Chinese-style eaves with Western-style structure, stands quietly in the distance.

Several children were chasing and playing on the lawn, their clear laughter carrying far.

The nanny walked slowly alongside, observing the peaceful scene.

With just a slight extension of the line of sight, one could see the guards standing at the edge of the bushes, watching the visitor's every move.

When the children saw Chen Chen, their faces lit up with joy. They ran over and surrounded him, calling him "Dad" and "Father."

Lu Mingfei counted them; there were eight in total.

"Your father is quite fertile; together with you, you could put together a nine-prince struggle for the throne."

You're wrong.

"Where did we go wrong? Were some of them adopted or fostered?"

"I mean, there isn't that little."

Standing beside Lu Mingfei, Nuonuo looked at Chen Chen and her siblings enjoying their family time, her expression detached like an outsider. With a look of disgust, she said, "He believes in bloodline theory and thinks that his superior bloodline should be passed down as much as possible."

This guy acts like he's an emperor, having a whole litter on one estate. I don't even know how many kids he has—maybe enough for a few football teams?

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfei understood why Nuonuo disliked Chen Chen.

What a stallion! Its seeds fly everywhere like dandelions.

Enviable... Disgusting!

However, this is no reason for Chen Chen to die, is it?

There must be a hidden story behind it.

Chen Chen held a child in each hand and said to Nuonuo with a slight smile, "Nuonuo, aren't you going to say hello to your brothers and sisters? They miss you very much."

"Sister Nuonuo, please don't be angry with Daddy anymore, okay? Apologize sincerely, and Daddy will forgive you. Let's play together again," a little girl advised.

Many other children, however, displayed hostile or gloating expressions.

With more children, they will also form cliques and become enemies.

They had no shortage of siblings, but only one father. From childhood, they were taught to do everything they could to please their father.

Chen Chen is an adult, but also a beacon for children; he is the one who gives meaning to life.

"A bunch of demons!" Nono shouted. "Does Chen Chen love you? He treats you like commodities to be sold! And! The fault isn't mine, it's his!"

These words naturally sparked a discussion among the children, who unanimously shared a common indignation.

Nono's gone mad! How could she say that about her father!

Despite the hateful looks from her half-siblings, Nuonuo tossed her long red hair, proud and stubborn, never yielding.

Even when she still naively believed in and respected Chen Chen and was loved by him, she did not tattle on the other children who were imbued with her domineering will. Instead, she fought back against them one by one.

The "sister" in Nuonuo's name was earned through her fists!

Lu Mingfei stepped forward, shielding Nuonuo behind him and blocking all the unfriendly stares.

Nuonuo stared at Lu Mingfei's back. She was still young and not tall enough, but Lu Mingfei's back looked very tall and imposing, as if he could shield her from all the malice in the world.

As Nono grew up, she became moody and indifferent to everything, with a mindset of joining in the fun and seeking amusement.

Sometimes he also likes to act out of loyalty, rescuing some scoundrel from dire straits without caring about the aftermath.

Her stepmother once said that Nono was a terrible person; her mother died and she didn't shed a single tear. She was heartless.

But while she still had her mother, or perhaps she had never known the truth, she was just a mischievous child.

Being protected by Lu Mingfei was not Nuonuo's style. She stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Lu Mingfei, head held high and chest out.

Chen Chen took in the whole scene, his displeasure hidden.

If it weren't for Nuonuo's special background, why would he need to take care of her? He has so many children of his own, he could love them all.

VIP meeting room.

Chen Chen wanted to speak with Lu Mingfei alone, but Nuonuo was turned away.

Lu Mingfei's perception ability was sufficient to encompass the entire solemnity of the place, so he agreed.

With Nuonuo around, there are some things I can't ask, and if I do, I'll be interrupted.

"How did Nuonuo's mother die?" Lu Mingfei asked.

Chapter 177 Cemetery

“I am deeply saddened by the passing of my wife. She was the one I missed the most out of my twenty-seven wives. I often think of her, of her red hair and her bright smile,” Chen Chen said.

"So what?" Lu Mingfei remained unmoved.

He is a very perceptive person; he can tell at a glance who is lying and who is not.
