Lu Jingyi seemed relaxed. She spread her hands calmly, a faint smile on her lips, and said to Yuqing, "Yuqing, with him here, we don't have to worry! Look, so much time has passed, have those strange things still happened?"
Looking back, it was always in the middle of the night when there seemed to be shadows swaying around the villa, as if there were a pair of eyes staring at me in the dark, which was creepy.
But since Chu Jinghong came, those strange phenomena have almost disappeared. Even if they appear occasionally, they are very few, which makes people feel a lot more at ease.
"eat!"
Chu Jinghong held a plate of steaming large Australian lobster and said gently and firmly.
He looked at the two women with a calm tone, a hint of tenderness in his eyes, and an invisible power at the same time.
The atmosphere in the room quickly returned to calm, as if the little disturbance just now was just a breeze in life.
Everyone started talking about light topics again and smiled at each other.
But in the grove outside the villa, several dark figures were looming in the shadows.
"With that person here, we can't complete the mission at all!"
A man wearing sunglasses lowered his voice, unable to conceal his anxiety and helplessness: "Give him money and ask him to turn a blind eye?"
A man smoking a cigarette nearby sneered and asked disdainfully, "Do you think he needs your money? Do you know how much his life is worth? It's a sum you couldn't earn in dozens of lifetimes. Can a man like that be moved by money?"
The man in sunglasses frowned and gritted his teeth, saying, "So what should we do? The prey is right in front of us, and we can only watch and not touch it every day. It's really frustrating!"
The man took a deep puff of cigarette, his eyes flickering, and slowly exhaled the smoke, whispering, "We have to find a way to set a trap and lure him away."
“…”
The two fell silent, lost in thought, hoping to find a solution.
At the same time, the Tang family.
Tang Xiaoyou has been staying in the training room since returning home in the afternoon and has not come out. The air is filled with a tense atmosphere.
At the dinner table, Old Man Tang looked at his grandson Tang Xiaowu, who was wolfing down his food, and asked quietly, "What's wrong with your sister? I haven't seen her out all afternoon. Did something happen?"
Tang Xiaowu grabbed the chicken leg with one hand and chewed it nonchalantly. He looked up at his grandfather and said nonchalantly, "I got taught a lesson by my brother-in-law!"
The old man frowned and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Brother-in-law? Where did the brother-in-law come from?"
Tang Xiaowu smiled, shook his head and said, "How is that possible? My sister could have slapped that guy from the Zhang family away with one blow! I don't even know his name, but he was the one who beat my sister in the underground boxing ring a few days ago."
The old man seemed slightly stunned and asked again, "It's him! Then how did he become your brother-in-law?"
Tang Xiaowu put down the chicken leg, scratched his head and explained, "I lost the bet, so he told me to shout like that."
The old man's expression instantly became colorful, and he couldn't hide his joy. It was obvious that he was quite satisfied with this so-called "brother-in-law".
The idea of calling him brother-in-law wasn't actually brought up by Chu Jinghong, but rather a bet proposed by Tang Xiaowu himself. At the time, Chu Jinghong didn't think much of it, thinking it was insignificant. From his perspective, it was just a trivial matter.
"Did he really propose this?!" Old Master Tang asked excitedly, a unique light flashing in his eyes.
Tang Xiaowu nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes! But, Grandpa, didn't you object to my sister dating? Why are you so happy now?"
"You can't say that. Your sister is already 20 years old. What's wrong with her falling in love? Not bad! That boy is really good!" The old man smiled, as if he saw a very satisfying scene.
At the dinner table, the old man kept repeating the word "not bad", which showed that he was very satisfied with Chu Jinghong. This satisfaction was not only because of Chu Jinghong's outstanding appearance, but also because of his outstanding ability.
Come to think of it, given Chu Jinghong's ability to defeat the old man with a single blow, the Tang family naturally approved of this marriage. The Tang family had originally emerged from the gray industry and was now engaged in maritime logistics and transportation, with a strong development momentum, but they lacked a truly independent figure. This person must be courageous and skilled in martial arts.
Therefore, Mr. Tang had only two criteria for selecting his grandson-in-law: either a prominent family background or both civil and military talents. Chu Jinghong happened to be the kind of young man who excelled in one area, not only having excellent martial arts skills but also showing great potential.
Mr. Tang didn't know much about Chu Jinghong, and it wasn't clear whether he came from a prominent family, but his superb martial arts skills were enough to make people astonished. Even the punches that Mr. Tang had practiced his whole life were just a move away from him. If such a person could come to the Tang family, he would definitely be marrying up!
"Go, ask your sister to come over for dinner!" Old Master Tang said with a smile on his face, as if he already had a plan for future development.
However, Tang Xiaowu lowered his head and ate the rice in his bowl, reluctantly saying, "No! My sister is practicing martial arts, and she will have a life-and-death battle with her brother-in-law in a month. If I go, I will definitely be treated like a punching bag again!"
"Nonsense! What life-and-death battle? What on earth is this girl thinking?! How will she get married in the future if she continues to act like this?" The old man also looked helpless, thinking that his granddaughter was really willful.
How can you not afford to lose when you're out there?! The old man thought to himself, wanting to try to persuade him, but he stood up and sat down again, feeling a complicated feeling.
Seeing this, Tang Xiaowu looked puzzled and said, "Grandpa, aren't you going to call my sister to eat?"
"Forget it, let her temper herself, so that she won't always think that her skills are good enough when in fact they are far from it. It's also a good thing to curb her arrogance." The old man took a sip of wine, smiled lightly, and there was a shrewd gleam in his eyes.
