Chapter 473: F*ck…
Lu Chengzhou lowered his head slightly and picked up his mobile phone. He opened Gu Mang’s chat window and was about to send a message to her.
“I ran into Ms. Gu and her brother. They just arrived in the capital and they were picked up by Mufeng,” Yu Shu said.
Lu Chengzhou paused, looked up, and asked, “Gu Mang?”
Yu Shu nodded and said blankly, “Didn’t Ms. Gu tell you that she was going to the capital?”
“And Yu Mufeng picked her up?”
Yu Shu looked at him and nodded.
…
As Gu Mang and the others were eating their meals, someone’s phone rang.
Yu Mufeng looked away and his gaze stopped on Gu Mang’s phone. He lifted his chin. “Grandmaster, your phone.”
Gu Mang picked it up and looked at it. Lu Chengzhou was calling. She picked up the call.
Gu Si stared straight at the lobster that had been served by the waiter but he did not forget Gu Mang. “Sis, I will peel the shrimp for you.”
Lu Chengzhou heard that on the other end and he asked, “Are you eating?”
Gu Mang let out a casual ‘ah,’ and reached out to take the juice that Yu Mufeng had poured for her.
“You didn’t tell me that you would be going to the capital. Are you trying to give me a surprise?” Lu Chengzhou’s magnetic voice was low. It sounded strangely pleasing and intriguing.
Gu Mang raised her eyebrow slightly and took a sip of juice. Then, she answered with a calm and crisp voice, “Nope.”
Lu Chengzhou laughed. When she had been so ready to hang up, he thought that she would really go with Huo Zhi.
Gu Si peeled the shrimp and placed it on Gu Mang’s plate, “Sis, here you go.”
Gu Mang stuck her fork into it and put it into her mouth.
“Where are you eating? Shall I get my chauffeur to fetch you after your meal?” Lu Chengzhou asked in a low voice.
Gu Mang was silent for a while. “Sure, w.a.n.gjing Road at Starlight Plaza.”
Lu Chengzhou hummed. “Eat more.”
“Oh.”
Gu Mang hung up and put away her phone. Yu Mufeng had expected this. He had heard Jiang Shenyuan say that his little Grandmaster sometimes stayed over at Lu Chengzhou’s Seal Palace.
He suddenly remembered something and casually asked, “In the past, you only went missing for exactly 24 days. Why did you break that tradition this time?”
The atmosphere at the table became a little strange. Gu Si had been enjoying a good appet.i.te before but the mention of this topic affected his appet.i.te.
Yu Mufeng did not notice. He continued, “Two days ago, my dad asked me if we should let Brother Cheng do an investigation on Red Flame.”
The atmosphere became even stranger instantly. The siblings did not speak. Gu Mang dipped a piece of meat into the hot soup slowly and remained expressionless. Gu Si looked as if this were a hard pill to swallow.
Yu Mufeng saw that Gu Si was acting strangely and he asked in confusion, “Why? Did I say something wrong?”
Gu Si swallowed the food in his mouth and cleared his throat. Then, he turned to look at Yu Mufeng. Yu Mufeng felt that Gu Si was being strange and he stared at the siblings with a confused look.
Gu Si licked his lips and said, “Brother Mufeng, let me tell you something. But, you have to remain calm.”
Yu Mufeng still looked confused. “Sure, tell me.”
“Actually…” Gu Si paused before continuing, “The boss of Red Flame is Lu Chengzhou and he is the one who set my sister up.”
Yu Mufeng was speechless. He acted like he was made of stone, sitting in silence without a single movement. Gu Mang and Gu Si continued eating, unaffected.
After a while.
“F*ck…”
There were not many people eating at the moment and so the restaurant was fairly quiet. Yu Mufeng’s swearing attracted everyone’s attention.
The restaurant manager was taken aback and he came over hurriedly to ask, “Sir, is there something wrong with the food?”
Ignoring the remarkable looks of the three people at this table, the man’s watch alone cost tens of millions. They were clearly not ordinary people.
The restaurant manager was really afraid of upsetting them.
