"Xiao Lu! You're back!" Afang and her mother said in unison.
Chen Dong smiled, and then another woman took her hand. "Hello."
Afang's smile vanished instantly, and she asked in a very low voice, "Who are you?"
"Let me introduce you," Chen Dong said, pulling Zhou Huimin over. "This is my fiancée, Zhou Huimin."
"Huimin, this is the family that I often mention to you, the family that runs the braised food shop."
Chen Dong looked at Afang and said, "This is Afang. If she hadn't convinced her parents to take me in, I probably wouldn't have lived to see you find me."
"And Uncle Long and Aunt Cui, they took good care of me when I was wandering in a foreign land."
“Uncle Long, Aunt Cui!” Chen Dong turned around and introduced them: “These people behind us are all from our company. Wolong is my bodyguard, you’ve met him before.”
Aunt Cui was confused by the situation before her, so she quickly chuckled.
The customers in the braised food shop stared intently at Chen Dong and his ostentatious group. At that moment, the bald man recognized Chen Dong and exclaimed in surprise, "Brother, you've been missing for so long, you're finally back!"
The disappearance he referred to was Chen Dong leaving the braised food shop.
Among the customers in the braised food shop, Chen Dong is most familiar with this bald man.
"Yes, I'm back."
Seeing Chen Dong's attire and the dozens of bodyguards following him, everyone understood what was going on.
Other diners also offered their congratulations to the owner and his wife:
"I never expected that Uncle Long would know such an impressive person!"
A familiar diner told someone nearby, "This person is rich."
“I’ve seen him before at the braised food shop. He was just a worker there back then. I don’t know what happened, but he disappeared for a few months and came back to be so rich.”
The bald man was more familiar with the young man's situation. Hearing others make such a guess, he quickly retorted, "What are you talking about? The young man is a rich man. He was just confused and couldn't remember things before."
"By the way, buddy! Who are these people you brought?" The bald man looked at Annie, Lin Zhiyuan, and Wangcai following behind him and asked tentatively, "Are they all your family?"
"No, they're just my colleagues and friends," Chen Dong shook his head in denial.
Seeing that Chen Dong and his group were too many and were already affecting the business of the braised food shop, Annie quickly whispered to Chen Dong, "Let's talk in the backyard."
Chen Dong sighed, "I was so happy to see Uncle Long, Aunt Cui, and Afang that I forgot I was disturbing the other customers in the braised food shop."
"Everyone!" Chen Dong turned to face the customers at the tables in the braised food shop and said, "I will reimburse you for all your expenses at the braised food shop today."
"Please enjoy the food and drinks!"
"However, I'll take the boss and his wife with me first."
Upon hearing this, a few diners joked around, and then Chen Dong and the others followed A Fang's family to the backyard.
There was only a stone table in the backyard, with five stone benches next to it.
Chen Dong, Zhou Huimin, and Afang's family sat down, while the others had to stand since there were no seats available.
"I'm so sorry!" Uncle Long poured hot tea for the bodyguards and everyone else, and said with great remorse, "Our house is too small, we didn't prepare so many chairs, thank you all for your hard work."
What Uncle Long didn't know was that these people were Chen Dong's bodyguards, and they usually could only stand.
This way, they can stay vigilant at all times and be ready to respond to any unexpected situations.
At first, the bodyguards didn't dare to take the teacup, but after Wolong glanced at them, they finally picked up the teacup in a proper manner.
A few people took only a symbolic sip, while the rest stood upright, holding their teacups, without moving.
Xiao Liu and the old fox stood at the backyard gate, wary of outsiders.
When Uncle Long saw Xiao Lu, he initially thought he was seeing an old acquaintance, but seeing the situation, he felt very unfamiliar with him.
With dozens of people watching, Uncle Long and Ah Fang both felt extremely uncomfortable.
Anne, being perceptive, quickly noticed their embarrassment. She relaxed and explained to Uncle Long's family:
"Please don't take offense, everyone. Our boss was assassinated in Hong Kong before, and then he disappeared for more than half a year. Our Dragon Legacy expanded our bodyguard team and hired mercenaries to search everywhere. It took us more than half a year to find him."
"Therefore, now that we've left the Longteng headquarters, we dare not let our guard down again."
"Assassination?" Aunt Cui was just an ordinary, unassuming person, and this was the first time she had ever heard such a chilling piece of news in her life.
"You... were you assassinated before and that's why you lost your memory?" Aunt Cui asked.
A moment of gloom flashed across Chen Dong's face, but the cold emotion was quickly swept away. "Regarding the assassination attempt I encountered before, because there are too many people involved, it is not convenient for me to reveal too many details to you."
"To avoid causing you unnecessary trouble."
"However, since my accident, the burden on Longteng's bodyguard team has indeed become even heavier."
Because Ah Fang had previously concealed from Uncle Long and Aunt Cui the fact that she had witnessed the assassin pointing a gun at Chen Dong, Uncle Long and Aunt Cui had always believed that Xiao Lu was just a stowaway from the mainland.
Aunt Cui took in Xiao Lu with the intention of having a cheap laborer.
"Who are you?" Cui Yi thought to herself, if you were an ordinary person, you wouldn't be the one being assassinated, would you? She asked Chen Dong, "Why would someone want to assassinate you?"
