Radiant Peach Blossom Fate

Chapter 17: Investigating the Background

"Right, I've eaten them too. My mom especially loves the durian pastries there. I'd give them a hundred and eight thumbs up too!"

"Thank you, big brother!"

Lu Chen waved his hand and turned around to leave.

Making friends with these hooligans might come in handy in the future.

After all, Lu Chen came from a martial arts family. Although his martial arts skills weren't that great, he still had a way of dealing with people. Sometimes you had to strike at your enemies, and sometimes you had to show kindness to them, using different approaches according to the situation. In the end, whether dealing with enemies or foes, you shouldn't let hatred blind you. You always had to dig out the parts that were beneficial to you first.

What Lu Chen didn't notice was that in the newly built command room at the other end of the construction site, a man in a sharp suit, with a gloomy face and around thirty years old, saw everything through a telescope.

Not long after, the little leader of the hooligans was called over.

"Who's that kid?"

"Reporting to General Manager Xin, he's a brother of Gong Jiu. He's the guy who whipped us half to death with a belt last time."

"Oh, he whipped you half to death, and you're still drinking with him?"

"Yes... He brought the beer and gave us pastries to eat too. General Manager Xin, there's an aura about that guy that I can't quite put my finger on. Anyway, we just feel that... it's best not to mess with him."

General Manager Xin snorted and turned to a burly bodyguard beside him and said, "Dao, that kid could pop off the bottle cap with just a flick of his finger. Although you can do it too, you're not as nimble as him. Plus, the way he whipped people with the belt was really ruthless. And he's quite good at handling things too. Find two people and investigate his background!"

Dao said, "Young master, he's just a kid. Why go to so much trouble? Just find someone to teach him a lesson, won't that do?"

"If your brain still can't keep up with my pace, I'll really have to replace you!" General Manager Xin sighed slightly. "Don't underestimate anyone. Starting from today, you go online and search for stories about people who got into trouble unexpectedly from ancient times to the present. Read three to me every day!"

"Yes!" Dao quickly replied.

Walking on the way back, Lu Chen was really at a loss in his heart. Where could Gong Jiu have moved to? How were his family's circumstances now? Yunzhou City was quite big, with a population of five or six million. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack. It wasn't easy to find someone!

Lu Chen shook his head. As long as they were still in this city, he would meet them sooner or later. The charming appearance of Gong Xiaoyi was still faintly lingering in his mind. This girl would definitely be a great beauty in a few years.

Lu Chen returned to his place. There was no one at home. Dong Qingqing had gone to work.

Over the past three months or so, Lu Chen and Dong Qingqing had gotten along quite harmoniously.

This beautiful landlady was the deputy director of the Gynecology Department in CITIC Yunzhou Hospital. She didn't come back for lunch and only ate dinner at home. So, although Lu Chen was also busy, he could basically handle the dinner task.

However, about a week later, Dong Qingqing asked Lu Chen to make an extra portion of dinner, put it in the freezer first, and she would take it to the hospital the next day and heat it up at lunchtime. It would still be okay to eat.

"Although it's leftover food, it's still quite fresh after being heated up and much tastier than the food in the cafeteria. Xiao Chen, you're really amazing. Sometimes I think that meeting you is my good fortune."

Once, Dong Qingqing said this very sincerely. But when she saw a glint in Lu Chen's eyes, she quickly added, "Don't get any wrong ideas. I won't reduce your rent again!"

When Lu Chen got home, it was almost noon. He cooked a bowl of noodles for himself and ate them. Then he went back to the bedroom and fell asleep as soon as he hit the bed. He slept through the whole afternoon. He hadn't slept in like this for a long time.

At around 5:30 in the afternoon, Lu Chen got up and went into the kitchen, making a lot of noise as he cooked.

At around 6:15, the door opened. As soon as Dong Qingqing came in, she smelled a refreshing and pleasant aroma. Immediately, a happy and even happy smile appeared on her tired face.

Lu Chen was humming a song while frying a plate of beef with black fungus and scallions. Suddenly, he felt someone watching him. He turned his head and saw Dong Qingqing standing at the entrance.

He gave a bright smile and said, "You're back?"

Just these simple three words made Dong Qingqing's heart tremble a little. She even felt a taste of happiness. Looking at Lu Chen's busy figure in the kitchen, she thought that this was exactly what she had always wanted.

What a pity! It's a shame we didn't meet before I got married. I even have a child already.

Dong Qingqing thought about it and felt rather sad.

She put on a smile again and said, "You've made so many delicious things again. Look at me. I'm getting fat because of you. I've got an extra layer of fat around my stomach!" As she said this, she lowered her head and pinched her stomach through her clothes.

Lu Chen didn't notice and said casually, "You'll have to lift up your clothes so that I can see."
