Chapter 1002: Has The Bi Family Already Struck Up A Relations.h.i.+p With The Shadow League?
The Head Elder smiled, “When things have settled down on Jijing Island, the collaboration between the Killer Alliance and Base 102 will then be able to go as planned.”
When Brahma heard this, his anger dissipated and he asked, “How so?”
The Head Elder always kept a calm composure as usual. “It will settle down and return to the way it has always been. There is no need to keep around the people who are of no use any longer.”
What he meant was very clear. He did not even intend to keep Gu Si around too.
The Head Elder made the Gu family bring Gu Si away as he had originally intended to keep him alive. He thought that it would suffice if he made the hypnotist at Base 102 remove his memories.
But Gu Si lost the opportunity to have his memory cleared.
“Didn’t you say that there is a need for a subject in the research lab?” Brahma was vigilant. “Are you not going to keep the experimental subject around either?”
A gleam light flashed in the Head Elder’s blurry eyes and he spoke slowly. “Dead or alive, it’s the same.”
It’s always better to make a small sacrifice than to lose everything.
Brahma only wanted the Base 102 technology and nothing else mattered to him.
The Head Elder took a sip of tea. “I’ll leave Lu Chengzhou to you.”
When Brahma heard this, he smirked. “You think rather highly of me.”
He had got rid of G.o.d Ji’s forces and now the Head Elder wants him to lead the attack?
Fat chance!
“Rest a.s.sured, I’ll send my men to help you out.” The Head Elder said, “The Bi family has struck a relations.h.i.+p with the Shadow League lately.”
When Brahma heard the words ‘Shadow League’, he looked rather stunned.
If they won over the Shadow League, then it would be much easier to deal with Gu Mang and Lu Chengzhou.
“Are you sure that the Shadow League will help us out?” Brahma was not familiar with the Shadow League, but from his position, he had always been very meticulous. So, he asked just to be sure.
“The Shadow League’s interest in the Biomedical Core Office is no less than yours.” The Head Elder was very confident. “Arctic Fox has been hiding for years, it is time he reveals himself.”
…
At the small villa.
After Lu Yī had made the necessary arrangements, he sent a group of people to escort Gu Yin back to the capital.
Then, he reported back to Gu Mang. “Ms. Gu, we have already arranged for all your people to enter Red Flame. Those who have to recuperate or rest will do so. Lu Jiu and Lu s.h.i.+ will take them in good care.”
“Okay.” Gu Mang nodded and turned to Jiangsui. She lowered her voice. “Bury the dead well. Send some money to the ones who are alive.”
Jiangsui answered respectfully. “Rest a.s.sured, Sister Mang. Consider it done.”
They were all brothers who had gone through thick and thin.
After settling the matters regarding the withdrawal from the Killer Alliance, both Responsive Dragon and Flying Serpent’s forces formed a clear boundary with the Killer Alliance.
They rushed back for dinner and when they asked, they found out that the reason Gu Mang had left in such a hurry was that something had happened to Gu Si.
Flying Serpent had never met Gu Si before but had heard a lot about him and the things that he did.
Gu Si was the kind of person who was very adaptable. He was a sweet talker and humorous too. He knew what to say to please people.
The ages of the two were about twenty years apart but they could not sense the age gap when they conversed.
In fact they found it quite a waste that they had not met earlier.
Since Flying Serpent had also just experienced being kidnapped like Gu Si, he could understand the same embarra.s.sment that he felt. As such, this strengthened their brotherly friends.h.i.+p so much they behaved like they wanted to become sworn brothers.
Gu Si hugged Flying Serpent by the waist. “Hey buddy!”
Flying Serpent hugged Gu Si by the shoulders. “Hey buddy! Next time when there’s trouble, tell them my name. I’ll kill whoever dares to mess with you!”
Gu Si nodded hard. “Okay!!”
Flying Serpent patted him on the shoulders as if they had a strong brotherhood.
Everyone else stared at them.
Young Master Gu was really well-liked by both men and women. He could get along well with anyone.
Lu Chengzhou sat beside Gu Mang and peeled the sh.e.l.ls off the shrimps for her.
The girl picked it up and ate in a natural manner.
Responsive Dragon felt that this was a little too much for him. He had always wanted to meet the big boss of Red Flame for dinner and socialize with him over some drinks.
But this did not mean that he wanted to watch something like that. The honorable, decisive, cruel and powerful boss of Red Flame was using his precious hands to peel shrimps for his Fifth Sister!!
This really shocked the Responsive Dragon.
Even when Lu Chengzhou chatted with him occasionally, he did not forget to take some dishes for Gu Mang and refill her fruit juice.
The whole time, Gu Mang did not leave his line of vision at all.
Gu Mang must have felt that she was being stared at by Responsive Dragon for too long.
She looked up and asked rather nonchalantly, “Does looking at me make you feel full?”
Anyone with a dirty mind would feel that this sentence was rather suggestive…
Lu Chengzhou stopped peeling the shrimp for a moment and looked up.
The corner of Responsive Dragon’s lips twitched and he picked up a piece of Sichuan Boiled Spicy Pork with his chopsticks as he tried to make the atmosphere less awkward. “Eat well, everyone. Eat well…”
Gu Mang stared at him.
Responsive Dragon stuffed the meat into his mouth and surprisingly, it tasted even better than the ones that top chefs had cooked for him.
Fifth Sister really has hidden talents around her!
Soon, the scene of Lu Chengzhou peeling shrimp for Gu Mang was thrown to the back of his mind.
Responsive Dragon saw that the Hot & Sour Fish and Mala Shrimp in front of Gu Mang seemed pretty nice so he had a taste of them too.
Lu Chengzhou stared at him.
Lu Yī and the others who were on the same table kept glancing at Responsive Dragon. The look in their eyes was rather complicated.
Responsive Dragon couldn’t get it. He peeled another shrimp and took a gulp of beer. Then, he looked at Gu Mang and praised without hesitation. “The cook at your place is pretty impressive.”
Just then, the cook served another dish. When he heard this, he said respectfully, “The Hot & Sour Fish, Sichuan Boiled Spicy Pork and Mala Shrimp were all made by Young Master Lu.”
Lu Chengzhou cooked them personally. Now, it was obvious who he cooked them for.
As such, Responsive Dragon and Flying Serpent, who had eaten quite a lot of the three dishes, went silent.
The room went silent.
Chef… Lu Chengzhou…
No wonder no one except the two of them dared to touch the three dishes…
For a moment, Responsive Dragon and Flying Serpent felt that they could brag about having eaten food that Red Flame’s boss cooked personally, for the rest of their life!
