Chapter 88 Free food is precious, but life is more precious. Thank you, brother-in-law!
Let’s not discuss what species Old Tang is, Lu Mingfei now has too many doubts in his mind, and it will probably take until the next morning to ask all of them.
"So, does this count as me being on the run?" He suddenly laughed, recalling how in his previous life he had traveled across the Eurasian continent with two children aged thirteen or fourteen, and it took him half a year to return home safely.
But now, he was being taken abroad by two girls to avoid disaster.
"There are no such good conditions on the run." Another woman's voice came from the mobile phone on the table. Lu Mingfei didn't know her name, but only knew that her nickname was Potato Chips, and the background sound was always accompanied by a crisp crackling sound.
However, according to some mysterious rules, I would probably find out that this person is an acquaintance from my previous life when we meet.
He has now been forced to get used to a lifestyle like Forrest Gump opening a blind box, waiting for the next guest to make a shining appearance.
"Tell me where you plan to go next. I'll arrange a travel plan for you."
"Stowaway?"
"We are from a legitimate company, how could we possibly resort to such a low-level trick as smuggling?" The potato chip girl said with disdain, "A decent person would prepare five, six, seven, or eight fake identities, with all the supporting documents, the kind that even the public security system can't find any problems with."
"I have mine too?" Lu Mingfei looked expectant. "My next stop is Tokyo. When can I leave?"
“Let’s leave France first. Right now the people at Kassel College are looking for you like crazy. They will soon find out that you left by water.
But what are you doing in Tokyo, looking for someone?"
Both Potato Chips Girl and Jiude Mai were very curious. Lu Mingfei came all the way to France with such a clear goal, and it was obvious that he was here to look for someone.
But in their observation records, the only foreign friend that Lu Mingfei knew was the bounty hunter Ronald Tang, and he had recently accepted a mission to go to the tomb with others.
"Yes, looking for someone." Lu Mingfei nodded. He subconsciously wanted to report his wife's information, but after thinking carefully, it seemed inappropriate.
After all, my wife had poor health when she was a child. She was the kind of girl who had to stay at home for a long time and had tutors come to her home for classes.
It is said that the middle school she attended has always been circulated with a legend of a mysterious red-haired beautiful girl——
Whenever the school is about to hold a major exam, a stunningly beautiful girl with red hair, red eyes and wearing an expensive dress will appear in the school!
She is a beauty like a flower on the mountain top, who can only be admired from afar but not touched. After the exam, she will amaze everyone and leave in a chic manner in a Bentley Elegant RL.
Such a mysterious and wealthy red-haired beauty, naturally some bold students would think of showing themselves in front of her, trying to attract the goddess' attention and thus climb up the ladder to become a Phoenix Man and reach the pinnacle of life.
But when they saw that pretty face that was as delicate as a doll but colder than an iceberg, and the four tall and strong bodyguards in black suits and with fat faces behind the pretty face, they all chose to give up at the same time.
Free food is precious, but life is more precious.
I can’t afford to offend you, bye!
Whenever he thought of this, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but thank his brother-in-law from the bottom of his heart for arranging four bodyguards for his wife to keep strangers away.
After all, that silly girl was not an iceberg at all. She just rarely went out and became too socially anxious. When she saw so many people, she didn't know what to do and could only subconsciously put on a cold face.
Every time I tease her about this, she pouts and emphasizes that it is a protective color!
Those aloof senior sisters in campus anime are all like this. As long as they have a cold face, no one dares to provoke them, and they look very powerful.
But she didn't know that keeping a cold face and not saying anything would only make it easier for those boys to climb to the top and break the iceberg. The real protective shells were the four bodyguards who looked like double-flowered red sticks.
"How is your intelligence network? If you can help me determine the target in advance, it will save me a lot of time."
"It's okay. Although it's not as good as the supercomputer of the Secret Party and Kassel College, it's not much worse." The words of the potato chip girl were full of confidence.
Money makes the world go round. Not to mention that she already has her own exclusive channels for obtaining intelligence, even if she doesn't, she can still use money to get the person Lu Mingfei is looking for.
"Tell me who you want to find first, don't tell me you're looking for Shakugan's Shana or Suzumiya Haruhi. If you really want to see them, you can ask Long Legs and Sanwu to cosplay for you."
Just from this sentence, Lu Mingfei knew that Aze's subordinates were also secretly spying on him: "You guys really pay enough attention to me. You even know what I said to fool Chen Motong."
"That's right. During your literature club's party, that red-haired girl was speeding in the city. She wanted to be a hero before you were beaten up. I was the one who helped call the police."
Anyway, from now on, they would be... ahem, close partners, and the potato chip girls did not hide their high attention to Lu Mingfei's recent performance.
Don’t ask. If you ask, it means we are protecting you in secret to prevent our dear Party A from being harmed by villains.
Lu Mingfei didn’t care about these things. No matter how they expressed it, he still believed that their starting point was good.
Aze is his brother, it is impossible for him to join forces with outsiders to harm him.
"Tomokatsu Uesugi, a graduate of the Faculty of Law at the University of Tokyo in 2004. His Chinese name is Chen Zhisheng. He is of Chinese, Japanese and French descent. He is also the former captain of the Kendo Club. He should be easy to find."
After experiencing all the misfortunes before, Lu Mingfei actually no longer had much hope of finding his brother-in-law at the University of Tokyo.
If Old Tang could transform himself from a master of both materials and engineering into a bounty hunter, then it is possible that my brother-in-law could transform himself from a former legal pioneer into a justice nemesis.
Perhaps while he was drifting away on the boat, his brother-in-law was slashing people on the streets of Tokyo with a knife.
"Tokyo University, a student from the class of 2004?" The potato girl was stunned when she heard this, and then whistled to indicate that she didn't need to check it herself this time, and could just call someone: "Hey, long legs, this is your junior, do you have any impression of him?
"Captain of the Kendo Club, this should qualify me to be removed from your list of suitors and put on your waiting list for a date, right?"
Lu Mingfei was slightly surprised when he heard this, and looked up at Jiude Mai: "Are you also a student at the University of Tokyo?"
Regardless of the fact that this woman was a top student at Tokyo University of the Arts in her previous life, and that even her second uncle had to call her "senior sister" when he came, we are just asking when the Tokyo University Kendo Club had become so talented that it could produce a fierce person who could fight the Green-faced Beast single-handedly? Is this Ke Xue? Is this Beaver? "Yes, Mai Jude, Class of 2003, Department of Music, University of Tokyo, who once received the Mayor's Scholarship." The long-legged girl changed her posture and leaned back slightly, looking like she was also a top figure in her day:
"Why, you're not convinced?"
She didn't mention any other titles like class beauty, department beauty, campus beauty, etc. She was getting tired of hearing them so many times.
Lu Mingfei didn’t feel that he was unconvinced, he was just a little puzzled: When did the University of Tokyo have a music department?
It must be the fault of the parallel world again. What a mess.
"By the way, what is your relationship with that Jiude Aki? I think you two look a bit alike."
"That's my sister." Jiude Mai frowned slightly and her smile faded a little.
"Oh, no wonder." Lu Mingfei saw some kind of family conflict from her reaction. He didn't intend to ask too much and turned the topic back to the original point:
"You are so good at kendo, you should know some people in the kendo club. Have you heard of Uesugi Tomokatsu?"
Uesugi was the surname of a prestigious clan in ancient Japan. Today, there are tens of thousands of people using this surname, but the family that has been passed down from ancient times has completely declined.
Jiude Mai knew very little about this, after all, that family was too mysterious.
She thought for a moment, not knowing whether she was looking up the list of her suitors or the names of the previous Kendo Club captains. After a moment, she shook her head and said:
"I've never heard of such a person."
Potato Chip Girl was actually not idle just now. She checked the information provided by Lu Mingfei and found that there was indeed no such person as Uesugi Tomokatsu in the Faculty of Law of the University of Tokyo:
"Where did you get this information? Did you get cheated?"
She really wanted to ask, "Why did you go all the way to Japan to find a man who practices swordsmanship? Are you going to fence with him?" but she held back.
The boss said that he would try his best to meet the customers' requirements, so she shouldn't worry about whether the customers' requirements were outrageous or not.
“Well, maybe I remembered it wrongly.” Lu Mingfei did not delve into the matter further.
Everything went as he expected. The identity of his eldest uncle changed with the timeline, so there was no need to look for his second uncle.
The rising rock star of the Japanese entertainment industry probably had his fantasy shattered, just like his own.
He did not say where the information came from, but asked them to help make a plan to travel to Tokyo, Japan.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Hearing is not as good as seeing, and he believed he could find them there.
"By the way, lend me your cell phone so I can make a long-distance call."
The N96 given by Kassel Academy had long disappeared, and Lu Mingfei didn't know whether he lost it or was lost by Jiude Mai and the others.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will become a missing person in the following days.
If Kassel Academy hadn't handled the matter properly, once word got out it might have turned into a story like "A high school student in France bravely fought off a home robber, then mysteriously disappeared afterwards, presumably in retaliation for kidnapping."
He came to France because of the relationship between the little angel's father, so he should at least inform him about this matter, so that he won't blame the unfortunate guide after he finds out.
"There is a new cell phone under the table. It's a gift from our boss to you." said Potato Chip Girl.
Hearing this, Lu Mingfei opened the drawer and took out a brand new iPhone.
Touch screen phones are great. After using smartphones for so many years, I still feel uncomfortable using the previous N96 keypad phone.
I opened it and saw that the phone was fully charged, but the contact list was empty.
There is an unread text message quietly lying in the text message list, and the sender is an "unknown number".
The content was very simple, with only one sentence: "Welcome back, brother."
…
"お帰りなさい，お哥ちゃん(`)"
After a tiring day, Master Yuan returned home. As soon as he walked into the door, he saw a small white board placed at the entrance, with the words "Welcome home, brother" written in beautiful handwriting on it, which was a heartwarming reminder.
Yuan Zhisheng could hardly remember how long it had been since he had heard this sentence.
It was probably after I left my adoptive father's house in anger and lived alone in the school's equipment storage room.
"I'm back."
He responded softly, wanting to reach out and touch the small white board, as if he was stroking the hair of that pitiful and lovely girl.
But he still had knives in his hands, two knives that had just seen blood.
Looking at the cute smiling face pattern and the small flowers surrounding it, Yuan Zhisheng finally put down his hands and dragged his slightly tired body to the bathroom to wash.
The cool water droplets fell, washing away the dust on his body and also slightly lifting his sleepy spirit.
Having just been promoted to Director of the Executive Bureau, many people are watching him, wanting to see if he can be competent for the job and whether he can take over the position of head of the family in the future.
In order to live up to his father's expectations, he worked very hard, and just like his father when he was young, he demonstrated the spirit of "leading by example" to the fullest. His tough attitude was appreciated by everyone.
However, high-intensity work will inevitably bring high pressure and fatigue, just like the several incidents of evil spirits injuring people in Tokyo at midnight today.
He personally led the team to kill the evil ghost that injured people, and watched over the scene to clean up all the traces. When he returned home after the incident, the sky was almost turning light.
"ha--"
With a long sigh, he put on some shower gel and began to scrub every inch of his skin vigorously.
With his strength and swordsmanship skills, he was rarely injured while carrying out his missions, and even rarely got his hands on blood when killing evil spirits.
But he still has the habit of cleaning himself up every time he comes back, especially in recent days. The amount of effort he puts into scrubbing his body would probably be enough to rub off a layer of skin on an ordinary person.
This wasn't an outbreak of mysophobia, but because Eri became a little different after waking up, and he was worried about her condition so he went to visit her every day.
In the past, he would only visit her every now and then when he remembered her, and he would just sit there and play games with her, so naturally he didn't need to be so careful.
But now it's different. Every time he goes to that Japanese-style wooden house surrounded by the steel jungle and sees the lovely girl holding the notebook she carries with her to welcome him back, Yuan Zhisheng feels his heart filled with warmth, as if the dragon blood in his body is boiling.
He knew that those two bastards, Crow and Yaksha, had been secretly discussing behind his back in recent days, saying that the young master's sister complex was getting worse, but he was too lazy to explain to those two idiots whose heads were filled with only violence and calculation.
He remembered his sister asking him before: "In the dream, brother and Eri lived in a big house together, why is Eri alone here? Is it because the house is too small for brother to live in?"
Yuan Zhisheng felt a sense of helpless sadness in his heart.
This child is really too naive, as naive as a child, and the questions he asks always make people wonder how to answer.
She didn't know what it meant that men and women shouldn't touch each other, nor did she know what it meant to be helpless as an adult. She just wanted her brother to spend more time with her.
I wasn't this clingy when I was a kid...
"What kind of beautiful dream can make you remember it so much? It's almost been made into a TV series."
Yuan Zhisheng smiled bitterly, washed off the foam on his body, put on a bath towel and went to the wine cabinet to get a bottle of sake, and toasted his reflection in the window: "I hope I can have a good dream tonight."
