In fact, Gu Ran could have wiped out the forces on the cargo ship, but after thinking about it, he realized that killing them would be too easy for them. So he came up with a wicked plan: he placed a Flying Thunder God mark on the ship and also put a lot of explosive clay in some strange places.
When the time is right, these remaining mixed-race descendants of the Zhang family in Southeast Asia will be put to good use.
Of course, in the end, they can only be cannon fodder; it's impossible for them to have a good ending.
*……*……*
In the love hotel, Erii wrote in her notebook that she wanted to eat Gomoku fried rice for breakfast. She didn't say anything, but just kept holding the notebook and showed the line she had written to Lu Mingfei.
The so-called "Five-Ingredient Fried Rice" is actually a mixed fried rice dish, combining various vegetable ingredients such as carrots, onions, mushrooms, and shrimp. The combination is not fixed, and it is similar to the fried rice that street vendors in China add ingredients at will.
Lu Mingfei was really having a headache: "Come on, we've eaten five-color fried rice for three meals in a row since yesterday noon. Aren't we tired of eating it like this all the time? And is it really necessary to start eating five-color fried rice in the morning?"
Erii remained expressionless, but Lu Mingfei still noticed that the corners of her mouth slightly turned down, and she pouted slightly.
"Okay, okay, I'll buy, buy, buy! You wait, just you wait!" Lu Mingfei coaxed her like a child, afraid that this princess would be unhappy.
She was already unhappy because she couldn't go out today due to the rain, so she could just eat the small fried rice if she wanted.
These past few days, Lu Mingfei has figured out this girl's tastes. She seems to be very interested in high-calorie, high-carbohydrate common foods, such as instant noodles, pizza, hamburgers, etc. But in terms of taste, she is also a carnivore, and her pizza must have meat chunks.
Yesterday, Gu Ran brought a big bag of snacks. He bought a bunch of snacks that are only available in China, from spicy strips to cucumber-flavored potato chips, as well as salt-baked chicken wings and Maltesers, all of which were Lu Mingfei's favorites when he was a child.
I don't know where he bought it in that foreign country.
Lu Mingfei offered Erii some snacks, which she enjoyed very much. She especially loved the salt-baked chicken wings, a flavor she seemed to have never tasted before, and her eyes widened in delight.
Gu Ran was right. Erii's life in the Snake Clan was quite austere. It seemed that those people deliberately prevented her from contacting the outside world, and they didn't even let her watch TV.
So she's been staying up late these past few nights to watch anime, afraid she won't be able to watch it when she gets back.
However, anime series in Japan are broadcast weekly, unlike cartoon channels in China which broadcast two episodes a day, and Erii probably won't be able to stay abroad for too long.
Erii was very well-behaved. Knowing that she couldn't go out today, she sat obediently in front of the TV, constantly changing channels with the remote control.
When she goes out to buy things, Lu Mingfei tells her to wait where she is, and she will obediently do so. Just as Gu Ran said, if you ignore the fact that she can destroy the world, then she is indeed just a simple little girl.
If things continue like this, we should be able to complete Caesar's plan and take Erii away from Japan.
Lu Mingfei thought to himself.
He still had no romantic feelings for Erii.
……
Since Lu Mingfei had not yet committed any beastly acts against Erii, this greatly worried Mai Shude, Su Enxi, and a group of experts.
These experts, who are paid high salaries by the government, are supposed to share the burdens of their boss, yet they haven't been able to take the young couple's relationship any further. They are truly ashamed to face their boss's murderous gaze.
Especially Su Enxi, the boss, always looked at these people with a "I've already paid you all, and this is how you do my work" kind of gaze, making these experts feel even more ashamed.
"Since cultivating feelings isn't working, let's just make it a fait accompli!" one of the relationship experts declared in desperation. "Such an innocent girl, it shouldn't be hard to trick her into bed, right? We just need to create a certain atmosphere, like... a mixed-gender bath at a hot spring inn?"
“Yes, yes, or… a date in a lingerie store!” Even the self-proclaimed Casanova expert offered his opinion.
The experts' discussions have shifted from the possibility of a romantic relationship between Lu Mingfei and Erii to the question of whether they could spark a passionate connection.
It really looks like pandas mating!
Mai Shude, as the person in charge, was really having a headache. She wanted to fire all these experts, but they were all hired by the boss, so she couldn't just fire them all!
Just then, her phone received a multimedia message with no caller ID, instructing her to arrange for Lu Mingfei to attend a family dinner.
Looking at the photos on her phone, Mai Shude was surprised by this unexpected turn of events.
*……*……*
For the next few days, Lu Mingfei continued to take the runaway girl Erii out for a wild time in Tokyo.
However, gradually, Lu Mingfei also noticed that something was wrong with him. It seemed that there were people around him, and it seemed that someone was deliberately trying to bring him and Erii together.
When he wanted to hail a taxi, one immediately pulled up in front of him, and the driver said, "You two are a match made in heaven!"
Lu Mingfei quickly explained that they were not related, and that he was merely a servant, not worthy of such an honor.
For example, at Senso-ji Temple, as soon as he entered the torii gate, a painter said he would paint portraits of him and Erii. It was a huge canvas, two meters high and one meter wide. If Gu Ran and his fellow disciples hadn't given him enough money these past few days, he probably would have turned around and left immediately, because who knows how these street painters would rip him off!
To everyone's surprise, after painting for two hours, the painter said it would be free. This immediately silenced Lu Mingfei, who had originally wanted to find fault with the painting. Somewhat embarrassed, Lu Mingfei left the academy's address so that the painter could mail it to him.
When they got to the fortune-telling area inside, it got even more outrageous. Someone had prepared fortune slips in simplified Chinese for them, as if worried that they wouldn't understand them, and clearly stated that there were ten very auspicious fortune slips.
Moreover, the divination slip was simple and straightforward: "White clouds after the rain, secluded birds chasing each other."
The interpretation is: "Spring brings forth new life, auspicious clouds rise high, human relationships are harmonious, and joy and contentment abound."
In summary, he and Erii are a perfect match!
Even if Lu Mingfei was stupid, he knew that someone was definitely causing trouble around him, so he immediately thought of the little devil Lu Mingze, and called him to give him a good scolding and told him to get out of there gracefully!
So the small business owner removed all the manpower and facilities, and the once bustling Senso-ji Temple suddenly became extremely quiet and deserted.
Because it's been raining a lot, most people don't want to come here and stay indoors.
Looking at the serene temple, Lu Mingfei suddenly realized that he had been surrounded by a group of people, just like Truman these past few days.
He disliked the feeling of being manipulated, like a puppet on strings, and what pulled him were those red threads called 'fate'...
"Let's go." Lu Mingfei pulled Erii along, figuring it was almost evening and he was going to have dinner at the upscale French restaurant that Caesar had booked for him.
After all, this is my senior brother's kind gesture, so of course I can't refuse.
But Erii stayed where she was, waiting for the little monk to make her an amulet.
Amulets are protective charms, and the person who made them was the little monk who interpreted fortune sticks; he was a real monk.
Chapter 446 Su Xiaoqiang's Little Fan
The young monk told Lu Mingfei that he had indeed drawn the fortune slip himself, and it was a very auspicious one. So, their ending should be good, right?
Lu Mingfei took Erii into a taxi. Taxis in Tokyo are very expensive, and ordinary Tokyo residents usually don't take taxis unless it's for an urgent matter.
Because Lu Mingfei and Erii needed to avoid being discovered by Kaguya-hime and surveillance cameras in places like the subway, they couldn't use public transportation, so taxis became their only mode of transportation.
After they got on the bus, it started raining heavily again in Tokyo, and because it was rush hour, they got stuck in traffic.
Erii gazes at the street scene outside the window, occasionally writing in her notebook, "The outside world is so big!"
She would always exclaim in amazement, like an ancient time traveler who had never seen the world before.
Lu Mingfei recalled Erii's place, which didn't even have a window or a television. The only things there were game consoles and all sorts of toys.
Her world is smaller than a cat's; at least the cat can occasionally run away from home to see what the neighbors' parents are like.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a surge of affection for Erii and involuntarily reached out to stroke her brown hair.
In truth, he wasn't sure where Erii's trust in him came from or when it started. In any case, these past few days, Erii would obediently carry out whatever he said.
But he wasn't too happy to have mastered such a weapon.
If things continue like this, it should be easy to take her out of Japan. However, according to the secret party's principles, she will be imprisoned on a small island in the Pacific until she dies. Taking her out of one cage only to send her into another, he felt a sense of cruelty for no reason.
Suddenly, he snapped out of his daze and pulled his hand back. In those last half minute, he had been stroking Erii's head like he was petting a cat, but she was by no means a gentle cat. According to Lu Mingze, if Erii really went crazy, she would destroy the entire Tokyo Bay and the surrounding prefectures!
She is a true killing machine!
In that half minute, Erii obediently let him pet her, without any intention of resisting, just like a cat that is close to humans.
Cats only want their heads petted by people they are close to.
"This is it! It's so luxurious!" The driver stopped the car in front of the white French-style building and exclaimed in amazement at the elegant and simple building.
Erii looked up at the building, feeling somewhat lost.
"Didn't Sakura say she was going to take me to a really fancy place to eat?"
……
half an hour ago.
Gu Ran, dressed in a suit, was accompanied by Su Xiaoqiang, his mother, Zhou Xinqing, and Tang Shishi, all dressed up for the occasion.
French cuisine is all about being overly particular; you have to wear formal attire to a meal, as if wearing formal clothes would make the food taste better.
Gu Ran was also surprised when he learned that his mother had booked this restaurant; he hadn't expected such a coincidence.
This restaurant was suggested by Liu Yue. He heard that a very famous French chef would be staying here for a month, and that even the Queen of England praised the chef's cooking.
Gu Ran thought to himself that everyone in the Great Baby Empire knew about the culinary desert. The Queen of England had been eating British food her whole life, and the national dish of Britain was fast food like fish and chips. So, if she occasionally had a proper French meal, she would definitely praise it.
After entering the restaurant, the five people sat down, and the executive chef took out the 'Chef's Menu' and asked them to check if there were any dishes they could avoid.
Seemingly knowing that Gu Ran had a big appetite, Zhang Qiong ordered enough food for six people, so that her son could eat two portions each.
"Is it really necessary to bring a gun just to go out for a meal?" Zhang Qiong was puzzled because when they said they were going to have dinner today, Gu Ran had told them to bring a gun and that the bullets had been changed to mercury core blunt metal armor-piercing rounds.
Zhang Qiong knew about these bullets; they were specifically designed to deal with dragons and Deadpools. Moreover, the Glocks Gu Ran gave them were modified versions from the Secret Service's equipment department, and their recoil was even more exaggerated than that of the Desert Eagle.
Each of the girls carried a handbag, which looked like a decoration, but was actually for carrying guns.
"The time for God's awakening is drawing closer, and the situation is becoming increasingly chaotic. Tokyo is currently experiencing turbulent undercurrents, so it's best to be careful," Gu Ran said casually.
Zhang Qiong nodded. She had known for the past few days that the Snake Clan members were following her whenever she went out. Although they were just hanging behind her from a distance, the feeling of being watched made her very uncomfortable.
"But there's no need to worry. The principal will hold the fort if the sky falls!" Gu Ran shrugged. "If he can't hold the fort, then there's nothing we can do. Japan will have to sink."
The other women looked at each other in silence. If Japan really sank, the more than 100 million people on this island would probably face the end of the world.
They were well prepared for a complete retreat. Liu Yue said that he had arranged helicopters and airships in the mountains. If Japan were to sink, he would take his people away on the airships.
This was the Liu family's final preparation.
"You all sit down, I'll walk around the area." Gu Ran still needed to make some preparations. After all, this place was unfamiliar, and he needed to find the safety exits and leave his mark in a few places, just in case.
Gu Ran had only been gone a short while when another family noisily took their seats.
Zhang Qiong glanced at them and realized that the other party seemed to be two families, and it appeared to be a family dinner.
"Speaking of which, I haven't discussed the engagement banquet with your parents since New Year's Day." Zhang Qiong gently held Su Xiaoqiang's hand. "I don't know how your family has made the arrangements."
“My dad is quite superstitious. He only cares about auspicious dates; he doesn’t care about anything else,” Su Xiaoqiang said with a smile.
"Have you picked out your wedding dress yet? Chinese style or Western style?" Tang Shishi asked curiously.
"No, it's just an engagement, nothing too grand."
"Given Gu Ran's status, it's probably impossible for things not to be grand," Zhou Xinqing said.
