Chapter 139: Meeting with Danggui, Zhong Shao Makes Trouble (Qixi Festival Extra)
That night, at Danggui Bar, on the third ring road of the capital.
In order to entertain Jiang Fuyue, Niu Chunhua set up a table of...enn...hot pot in the largest private room in the store.
Jiang Fuyue was wearing suspender heated pants, with her slender arms and long legs exposed, and her long hair hanging down. At first glance, she looked no different from the hot girls who frequented nightclubs.
"Are you here?" Niu Chunhua came forward in surprise.
Today she wore a bright red cheongsam, the fitting cut outlined her perfect figure. A little more flesh would be cumbersome, a little less would be skinny, but she had neither too much nor too little, just the right size.
It’s just that the color of this cheongsam…
"Why are you dressed like a rotten tomato again?"
Niu Chunhua: “…”
Niu Rui: “Hahahaha…” I almost laughed my head off!
"Shut up!" A glare flew over.
Under his mother's deathly gaze, Niu Rui immediately fell silent, but he couldn't suppress the upturned corners of his mouth.
Niu Chunhua looked resentful: "So the Rotten Tomatoes joke won't work, right?"
Jiang Fuyue spread his hands and said, "My fault."
The three of them sat together, the pot was already boiling, and Niu Rui started to put the dishes in.
Jiang Fuyue: "I don't want corn."
Niu Chunhua: "Don't give her corn."
The two spoke almost at the same time. Niu Chunhua suddenly turned her head and looked at her. A light flashed across her eyes, mixed with some other emotions, which was extremely complicated.
Sure enough, even the taste is exactly the same as before...
Jiang Fuyue seemed to have no idea what she was thinking and replied with a nonchalant smile.
Niu Rui said "oh", not quite sure what the two women were talking about, nor was he curious.
Move the chopsticks, skip the corn, and put the mushrooms next to it.
Then came plate after plate of meat.
Jiang Fuyue raised her eyebrows. She preferred meat-based hotpot and rarely touched vegetarian dishes.
Niu Chunhua snorted and laughed, with a hint of pride: "Don't think that you are the only one who understands me. I know a lot about you too."
Jiang Fuyue curled her lips: "Then thank you so much."
Niu Chunhua waved her hand and said, "You're welcome."
“…”
"Is there any news about Master?" Jiang Fuyue asked.
Last time, she defined a search area for Niu Rui. After so many days, there should be some results.
Upon hearing this, Niu Chunhua couldn't help but look at her son.
Niu Rui felt his scalp tingling under the gaze of the two female demons, and the chopsticks in his hand trembled. The fatty beef he had just scooped up fell steadily back into the soup.
He smacked his lips, withdrew his hand, and sat down. "I did as you said and focused on checking the Dongcheng District area, especially the nearby schools and internet cafes, but there weren't any candidates who met the requirements."
"Have the personnel been dispatched?"
Jiang Fuyue knew that Qianji Pavilion was accustomed to using the Sky Eye Network to increase data analysis, and might not send anyone out to look for it.
Unexpectedly, Niu Rui nodded and said, "Sky Eye will be the primary investigator. Big data will provide the direction for the investigation, and we'll then send people out to conduct on-site searches."
But still nothing was found.
Not to mention Ye Qianji himself, not even a trace of him could be found.
Jiang Fuyue frowned.
Niu Rui was also silent for a moment.
Suddenly, "How did they find it?"
"ah?"
"I mean the aspect of appearance."
"Oh, I'll send everyone a photo of my master, one for each of you to compare with."
This can't go wrong, right?
Jiang Fuyue suddenly had a bad feeling: "What photo?"
"...Here, this is it." Niu Rui picked up the iPad, fiddled with it for a while, and then handed it over.
Jiang Fuyue lowered his head and glanced, unable to help but twitching the corners of his mouth.
The young man in the photo was dressed in a suit, had handsome features, a gentle smile on his lips, and looked very elegant, like a gentleman.
Niu Rui swallowed and said, "Is there any problem?"
Jiang Fuyue directly opened the photo editing software, swiped his fingers across the screen, and clicked save.
Then he returned the iPad to Niu Rui and said, "Just look for it this way."
Niu Rui took a closer look and almost burst out laughing the next second.
The once handsome man in the photo had flabby muscles, wrinkles all over his face, and dotted with age spots. His sleek slicked-back hair was replaced with dry, messy white hair. At first glance, it looked like he had a sparrow's nest on his head.
The baggy suit was replaced by a tattered sweatshirt.
It turns out that the only thing that separates a handsome man from an unkempt one is a photo editing software.
"This, this, this..." Niu Rui pointed at the photo, feeling very uncomfortable, his eyes wide open, full of suspicion.
Jiang Fuyue nodded confidently: "Yes, this is the true face of your ancestor."
Ye Qianji: The dog hits the disciple and smears me behind my back!
…
"Is this the bar you were talking about?" Zhong Ziang stood in front of the door with his hands in his pockets, looking at the word "Danggui" made up of blue lights on the black sign with gold edges.
"Yeah, Ang! Even though this bar is located in the Third Ring Road and is a bit far from the city center, it's a bit inconspicuous, but business is booming."
"Really?" Zhong Ziang chuckled, and a hint of gloom suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"Of course," the man said, seeing his interest, and tried harder to please him. "It's said that it's because the proprietress here is so charming and beautiful, and she's even better at entertaining customers than the top hostess at Dihao! Well... my dad said that Mr. Zhong is also a frequent customer here."
Mr. Zhong refers to Zhong Yunyi, Zhong Ziang’s biological father.
"Why have I never heard my dad mention it?" He lowered his voice, and each word seemed to be choked out from his throat.
When those who were close to Zhong Ziang heard this, they knew he was angry.
Moreover, he is quite angry.
But that second generation had just come along halfway, and didn't know Zhong Ziang at all. He thought his flattery had hit the mark, so he spared no effort: "How could their boss tell us about such a thing? I overheard it secretly. It is said that Mr. Zhong is the boss lady's lover..."
Bang!
Zhong Ziang couldn't bear it any longer and punched the man on the bridge of his nose. His eyes rolled back and he fainted.
He looked up and stared at the sign expressionlessly.
Oh……
Angelica?
Today he wants to see who this charming proprietress is waiting for!
"Come on, follow me in."
