Fang Zhijun stared straight at Mei Hong for a while, and a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. However, he quickly concealed his expression and gently said, "Anything is fine. As long as it's something you make, I like to eat it."
Mei Hong's face reddened as she raised her head to look at him shyly. Then, she turned around and walked into the kitchen.
Fang Zhijun watched her figure disappear at the kitchen door, and a trace of coldness flashed through his originally gentle eyes.
If he had not known by chance, Mei Hong would not have worked at the hotel where he was engaged to Zheng Qiqi, the words he had said previously were all lies.
After that, he carefully observed the methods she used to deal with those influential figures in the business world. He understood this woman's plans and methods. Perhaps he really would believe that what she was doing now was all for his own good, but he knew the truth.
She had deliberately destroyed her own engagement banquet, causing her to lose her original bright future. Now, all she had to do was treat it as paying off the debt she had owed her. When he succeeded, they would go back on their own path.
However, he still needed to use her, so it was necessary for now.
Mei Hong stared at the pot of boiling soup. Her mind had long since drifted off to somewhere else.
The more she thought about Fang Zhijun's bit by bit change during this period of time, the more desolate her heart became. Especially when she saw the coldness Fang Zhijun hid in the depths of his eyes.
What had gone wrong? Wasn't the original Fang Zhijun honest and honest? Why did such a drastic change occur after she spent so much effort to pull him away from Zheng Qi? Could it be that his feelings for Zheng Qi had really reached such a deep level? It was so deep that it was as if he had become a completely different person?
Mei Hong forcefully shook her head, shaking off the uncertainty and panic in her heart. She had put in so much effort, so no matter what, she couldn't give up at this time.
But she could think of a way to have Fang Zhijun and her as husband and wife as soon as possible. If she was lucky enough to have a child, even if Fang Zhijun still had Zheng Qiqi in his heart, he wouldn't be able to withstand the pressure from her parents. Even if he was a thousand times unwilling, he would still obediently go back and marry her.
After making up her mind, Mei Hong felt much more at ease. She stirred the spoon on her phone and waited patiently for the pot of soup before her to be ready.
Just as Mu Chen had predicted, not long after, He Yao made a call to Zheng Qi, secretly asking him to introduce someone to her.
Once Zheng Qi heard this tone, he knew that the person Mu Chen and she were looking for was about to appear. After hanging up He Yao's phone call, he immediately called Mu Chen, wanting to discuss the next meeting with him.
"Did He Yao call you?" The moment he picked up the phone, Qi Qi immediately asked directly, not worried at all that the person who answered the phone might be someone else.
"Yes, he called me over ten minutes ago. It seems like he has already informed you."
"Then what should we do next?" "Should we arrange for people to directly arrest them and bring them back before the meeting, or wait for the snitch from the police station to take action?"
The person on the other end of the line was silent for a long time before a voice could be heard again.
"Don't worry, since the other party can bury them so deeply, it means that he is a cautious person. This is the first time he has met with us, and he won't give us any information. Let's meet with him according to He Yao's arrangement, and then we can talk about the other party after that."
Once Zheng Qi heard that Mu Chen had a full plan, his heart calmed down. Whether or not she would succeed in this mission all depended on whether or not she could catch that criminal gang in one fell swoop. She did not know why, but she believed in Mu Chen's judgement for no reason at all.
Since Mu Chen had an idea in his mind, he didn't think too much and could only secretly train his body from behind Mu Chen's back.
In the period before he went to see He Yao, Mu Chen suddenly became very busy. He would often disappear for two to three days, and even after a short conversation, he would leave right after. He understood that he was just a chess piece in Mu Chen's hands, and it was impossible for Mu Chen to bet all of his treasures on him, so he didn't ask about it. However, a small feeling of disappointment would occasionally arise in his heart, and before his master could understand what was going on, he would disappear without a trace.
Although she understood that even if she saw that person, she could only temporarily remain still, but when Qi Qi Qi held onto Mu Chen's hand as they entered the room, she was still a little excited. She had never seen a true drug dealer before, and this time they were even seeing a drug dealer.
Mu Chen lowered his head to look at the smile that appeared on Qi Qi Qi's face. The smile in his eyes flickered as he reached out his hand to pat the back of her white hand that was tied to the crook of his hand. He leaned over and whispered into her ear, "What? It's just a drug dealer, is there anything to be happy about? "
The warm air brushed against Qi Qi Qi's ears. It was actually a little scorching. Qi Qi could only move to the side to hide without leaving a trace before raising his head to glance at Mu Chen.
"Which eye of yours is happy to see me? I'm just curious."
Mu Chen only smiled when he heard this, but didn't say anything. This was because in the blink of an eye, they were already at the entrance of the private box.
Just as he was about to raise his hand and knock on the door, the private room door was pulled open from the inside. Qi Qi Qi quickly took a glance at the inside of the private room and saw He Yao sitting on the left side of the main seat.
Because of the angle, with such a quick glance, Qi Qi Qi could not see clearly what the person sitting on the main seat looked like. She could only see that he was wearing a milky-white loose Tang suit, his sleeves casually rolled up to a third of his forearm.
"Young Master Mu, Miss Zheng, I've heard a lot about you."
After the bodyguard opened the door, he stepped aside and looked in the direction of the voice. Only then was he able to see clearly what kind of person they were going to meet today.
Although his facial features were not that handsome, he could still be considered handsome. Just from his appearance, he did not look like a drug dealer at all. On the contrary, his aura was that of a scholarly man who came from a scholarly background.
Although he did not show it on the outside, he was secretly cursing in his heart. This man was indeed a wolf in sheep's clothing. He looked pure and honest, but if he was fooled by this man's appearance, he would probably die without even knowing how.
Mu Chen seemed to understand what Qi Qi Qi was thinking. He stretched out his hand to take her hand and squeezed it gently. When Qi Qi Qi turned to look at him, the corners of his mouth curled up in a smile.
"Come, come, let me introduce you. These two are the Mu family's eldest son, Mu Chen, and the Zheng family's eldest daughter, Zheng Qi. This is the friend I would like to introduce to you, Mr. Li Chen from the Honest Lodge."
After He Yao introduced them one by one, Li Chen gave Mu Chen and Qi Qi Qi a faint smile. He politely extended his hand, preparing to shake hands with Mu Chen.
Qi Qi glanced at the slender finger that Li Yao stretched out and hit the hand that Mu Chen had just stretched out with a 'pa' sound. Qi Qi then pulled his arm and sat down on a nearby seat, completely ignoring Li Chen's empty palm and He Yao's embarrassed face.
"Hur hur, this is Qi Qi Qi's personality. She is afraid of strangers. Don't be offended by her, Mr. Li. Just get familiar with her and it will be fine." He Yao tried to smooth things over with a serious face, but in his heart, he was silently cursing the seven fakes for being fake and high and mighty.
Li Chen slowly retracted his hand. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He had a smile on his face, but his eyes turned cold.
"Don't worry about it, don't worry about it. Let's sit down and talk."
Taking the chance when Li Chen turned around and sat down, He Yao sneakily glanced at Mu Chen, to the effect that, while taking care of his own woman, he shouldn't be too rude.
Mu Chen nodded in understanding, and then turned his head to the side and whispered into Qi Seventh's ear. After hearing this, Qi Seventh first slightly frowned, and then nodded unwillingly.
Seeing Caiqi's reaction, He Yao finally felt relieved and hurriedly sat down next to Li Chen to refill his tea cup.
"The main purpose of this meeting is to let everyone get familiar with each other. After all, there may be many opportunities for cooperation in the future. Don't forget us if Mr. Li has any good sources!"
Li Chen smiled faintly and said politely: "Of course, we have been working together for a long time and have been enjoying ourselves. Young Master Mu and Miss Zheng were both introduced by Young Master He, so I naturally believe you. I just don't know if Young Master Mu and Miss Zheng are willing to cooperate, but how much sincerity would there be in cooperating?"
As he spoke, Li Chen didn't forget to observe the expressions of Mu Chen and Zheng Qiqi who were seated opposite him. When he first entered the room, Zheng Qiqi's display of authority caused him to lower his guard even though it was embarrassing.
As far as he knew, Zheng Qiqi was a very tall person. Even though he was addicted to drugs, he could not let go of his second generation status. He was usually very strong when dealing with people, which should be related to her military career.
As soon as she entered the room, she welcomed them with a smile and flattered them with a small smile. It was more likely that there was something fishy going on inside. On the other hand, it was more normal for her to reveal her true nature and feel disdain for people like them from the depths of her bones.
Besides, it was better to not know how to cover up. Wasn't it safer to work with such a person? He liked to work with people who thought they were smart.
When Qi Qi heard Li's words, she was overjoyed in her heart. She was preparing to find out the truth about them.
She quietly shook Mu Chen's hand under the table. The two of them tacitly shook hands, but no flaws were revealed on their faces.
"That depends on how much sincerity Mr. Li can show us." Mu Chen pretended to be a coward as he glanced at Qi Seventh. Seeing that there wasn't any dissatisfaction on her face, he replied with a smile.
"Young Master Mu, can you make the decision on this?" "Hahaha, this is a joke, a joke." He Yao glanced at Qi Qi seven, who had lowered his head and had a cup of tea, and said to Mu Chen half-jokingly and half-sarcastically.
"Of course, as long as Mr. Li's conditions are good, there's no need for us to refuse, right?" Mu Chen puffed out his chest with a look as though he was in charge of everything. However, when he met the gaze of seven or seven people, his originally straight chest couldn't help but shrink back.
When Li Chen saw Mu Chen's attitude and He Yao's introduction earlier, he was even more certain that the one making the decision was Zheng Qi, so he pretended to glance in Zheng Qi's direction and saw that she had pursed her lips. Although she did not say anything, she did not show any signs of resistance.
