During the thirty-odd minute drive, the two of them chatted back and forth like they were practicing Tai Chi, all the way with meaningless gossip.
Lin Xiaoman had to admit that Ning Mufeng was really cautious. He pretended to be stupid and didn't mention anything about Lu Anlan, Lin Rou, and Lu Yuyan.
Arriving at the place, Lin Xiaoman parked the car and got out to take a look. The BenBen that had been following all the way also followed in.
"Yun City has been in turmoil recently, so safety is our top priority." Noticing her gaze, Ning Mufeng explained with a smile.
Aren’t you the source of instability? Lin Xiaoman complained again.
"Indeed, it's not peaceful." Lin Xiaoman nodded in agreement, then pulled the "innocent" Long Jiujiu and walked towards the hotel door first.
After locking the car and showing no intention of returning the keys, Ning Mufeng put the car keys in his pocket and followed.
The three black-clad brothers were far behind, keeping a distance of several dozen meters.
Ning Mufeng had made an appointment in advance while on the bus and booked a small private room.
Led by the waiter into the private room, Lin Xiaoman tossed the menu to Long Jiujiu and said, "Order whatever you want."
"Hmm!" With an innocent smile on his face, Long Jiujiu's excited little hands quickly pointed, "This, this, this, this..."
Little kids are so carefree! Ning Mufeng couldn't help but smile in his heart, "Is this Xiaoxing? So cute."
Laugh! You'll cry soon!
Glancing at him, Long Jiujiu smiled even more happily and said very obediently, "Thank you, uncle, for treating us to dinner."
"Well, you're welcome." Ning Mufeng, who just treated him as a little kid, didn't think much about it.
"Xiao Man, what do you like?"
"I'm casual and not picky about food."
Based on the fact that you are hypocritical and I am acting, the atmosphere is harmonious.
After the dishes were served, Long Jiujiu ate happily, and Lin Xiaoman was not polite either, filling his stomach first.
"The sea bass here is very fresh and tender, would you like to try it?"
"Sorry, I don't really like fish."
"That's a shame."
…
They chatted ramblingly for about half an hour. Lin Xiaoman was a little bored and didn't bother to talk anymore. He put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a tissue, silently saying: I'm done eating.
Seeing this, Ning Mufeng also put down his chopsticks.
There was only one Long Jiujiu at the scene, who continued to eat as if nothing had happened.
Ah, as a child, he is so ignorant, naive, and inexperienced in the ways of the world!
Sitting upright, Lin Xiaoman acted as if he were discussing business matters in the business world and began to probe, "Mr. Ning, when did you return to Yun City? I wonder if you've heard about the recent major events in Yun City?"
"Just came from the neighboring Ze City this morning..."
Lin Xiaoman immediately understood, wow, this guy has a sufficient alibi!
Ning Mufeng smiled widely, his expression naturally revealing a hint of interest. "What's the big deal? I'm very interested to know. Xiaoman, do you mind telling me?"
"Nothing much. It's just that Lu Anlan from Tianjian is being sought after, and Lu Yuyan from Yantong is missing. I heard their car was burned down, and the woman who was with him died tragically."
"Really? That's unfortunate."
Although he said so, Ning Mufeng's face showed a slight smile, and he looked obviously in a good mood.
It was such a good pretense, Lin Xiaoman complained, "Mr. Ning, it's not good to gloat over someone else's misfortune."
"Do I have it?" Ning Mufeng asked back.
"Is this return to Yun City just to see them laugh at your jokes?"
"How could that be? I only knew these things because you told me. But now that I know, it's really refreshing to see my enemy making fun of me. We should celebrate." Raising his glass, Ning Mufeng made a toast gesture in the air, then took a sip of the drink.
"Congratulations."
Lin Xiaoman also took a sip out of courtesy. She had thought that this scumbag would tamper with her drink, but he didn't.
"I came back this time, planning to settle down in Yun City. After all, where you fell, you have to stand up again."
"Mr. Ning is truly admirable and has great ambitions."
"Yeah." Ning Mufeng responded, sitting upright, his eyes shimmering and bright as he stared at Lin Xiaoman. He smiled and repeated, "I plan to settle down in Yun City. Xiaoman, do you think it's feasible?"
"My opinion is not important, you can decide for yourself." Lin Xiaoman frowned.
"Settling down here requires your approval." Ning Mufeng smiled meaningfully.
"I'm sorry, I don't understand."
"This guy wants to get something for nothing by settling down in your house, using the name of marriage as a pretext to legitimately seize your property." Long Jiujiu, whose cheeks were bulging with food, sent her a voice message.
'Of course I know.'
Lin Xiaoman replied immediately.
It is obvious that Ning Mufeng, this scumbag, is planning to rely on her for support because she is rich, and he is a typical gigolo.
Ning Mufeng was not annoyed by Lin Xiaoman's pretense of ignorance, and said patiently, "Well, let me explain. Xiaoman, you're a woman, why do you have to work so hard to make money? Men should do the hard work of making money. Men earn money to support the family, and women are beautiful like flowers. Isn't that great?"
"Mr. Ning really loves to joke."
"Do you think I'm joking?" Ning Mufeng stopped pretending and leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, lit a cigarette, and said in a very arrogant and straightforward manner, "I like you. Let's get married. If you don't want to stay at home idle after marriage, we can also join forces and build a business empire together."
