Radiant Peach Blossom Fate

Chapter 20: Is This a Date?

With a bang, the chopsticks and bowls on the table jumped.

Immediately, Lu Chen's mind became alert. After all, he was a martial arts practitioner, and he could immediately tell from that slap on the table that Yang Jiangyu was a martial arts master, and much more skilled than he was.

With that slap just now, there was a faint wave of air surging on the tabletop. If it had been a bit heavier, the dishes and bowls would surely have been broken. Obviously, although Yang Jiangyu was angry, she still knew her limits.

And this wave of air could only be noticed by those who practiced martial arts.

People like Liu Li couldn't detect it. She was just startled and let out an "Ah", her face turning pale.

Lu Chen held her hand, silently giving her strength. He looked coldly at Yang Jiangyu: "Don't think that just because you slapped the table and made your two big... er... parts jiggle in an eye-catching way, you can keep slapping. If you've got the guts, try slapping it again!"

Although in terms of martial arts skills, Lu Chen definitely couldn't beat Yang Jiangyu - he could only deal with a few hooligans at most. However, if it really came to a confrontation, he could use his God of Cursing supernatural ability and make this busty beauty take a few tumbles first.

"Two big rabbits?" Yang Jiangyu was first stunned, then she looked down thoughtfully, and her face blushed like two red lanterns. There was some anger in her eyes, but she was good at controlling her emotions. She giggled again and waved her hand gently: "Forget it, forget it. I won't slap it anymore. There's no point in arguing with you, a little kid."

Lu Chen was both amused and annoyed. Damn it, you're only a few years older than me. Calling me a little kid?

"Alright, then I'll be straightforward too."

As Yang Jiangyu spoke, she took out a thin envelope from her pocket, placed it on the table, and gently pushed it towards Lu Chen.

"This is just a small token, a deposit. There will be a much more generous reward after the matter is done."

Looking at the thin envelope, Lu Chen's expression became a bit solemn. Compared to the thick stack of money given by the restaurant owner earlier, this envelope was really unremarkable. However, Lu Chen could sense its significance.

He picked it up, opened it, and saw a check inside.

He paused for a moment, taking a short breath. There was a 1 followed by six 0s.

It was one million yuan.

If one million yuan was just the deposit, then how much would the more generous reward be?

Liu Li, who was beside him, also frowned. One million yuan in one shot was much more generous than what Miao Yuemei had offered. However, Liu Li also noticed that it seemed that Yang Jiangyu didn't want Lu Chen to do some ordinary job but to handle a certain matter. But this made her even more uneasy. If the deposit was one million yuan, just how difficult was the task that needed to be done?

Although one million yuan was a large amount, Lu Chen also knew correspondingly how difficult the task must be.

He gently placed the check on the table and pushed it back in front of Yang Jiangyu with one finger. He said, "I'm quite interested in this one million yuan deposit and the subsequent reward. However, Miss Yang, I need to know first what the matter is. Will it seriously disrupt my life or even... you know what I mean."

Yang Jiangyu gave a charming smile: "I understand your concerns. I've prepared a document that elaborates on this matter in detail. You'll understand once you read it. I didn't originally want to talk about it here. I wanted to find another place... Just wait a moment."

Then, she took out her mobile phone and made a call. Her voice became stern and full of dominance: "Bring me the file bag from my car."

Soon, a Caucasian man who was at least 1.90 meters tall and looked extremely tough walked in.

The customers in the restaurant were all a bit surprised. Although there were often foreigners in Yunzhou City, it was rare to see such a tough foreign man who looked like an action star in Hollywood movies.

The Caucasian man walked up to Yang Jiangyu, respectfully handed a file bag to her with both hands.

Yang Jiangyu took it, and her expression became solemn, with a hint of strangeness in it.

She looked at Lu Chen and whispered, "Lu Chen, this matter is very important. You can't show it to anyone or tell anyone about it. You'd better take it back and read it. Remember, you must keep it a secret. Otherwise, both you and I will probably turn the benefits into disasters. Do you understand?"

With that, she handed the file bag to Lu Chen.

Hearing Yang Jiangyu say this, Lu Chen hesitated for a moment.

Perhaps he shouldn't take this thing? He was living a good life now and didn't need to cause any trouble.

Just as he was hesitating, suddenly a shrill and cold voice came from outside:

"Miss, what you're doing isn't quite proper. It violates the rules, and the master won't be happy."

Immediately, Yang Jiangyu's face changed drastically.

Lu Chen looked outside and just saw a thin old woman turn around and walk away. However, Lu Chen still caught a glimpse of her eyes and was shocked.

The old woman's eyes were so sharp that they were like blades of light from hell.

Yang Jiangyu quickly took back the file bag and whispered urgently, "Lu Chen, there's been a change in the situation. Let's put our matter on hold for now. I'll still come to you. But please note that in the future, you may encounter all kinds of people and strange things. If you don't understand, you can come to me at any time."

With that, she scratched the table a few times with her little fingernail, then turned around and left.

"Hey, here's your check back." Lu Chen said.

Yang Jiangyu waved her hand casually without looking back: "No need. It's just a small amount of money. Use it to court girls."

Use it to court girls? Lu Chen almost burst out laughing. His eyes fell on the table, and he was immediately shocked. There were a string of Arabic numerals clearly engraved on the table: 33566.

It was very clear, as if carved deep into the wood and evenly spaced.

Just with a little fingernail, she could make such marks. One could imagine how profound her skills were.

Lu Chen was puzzled: "What does this number mean?"

Liu Li, who was beside him, silently took out her mobile phone, fiddled with it for a while, and then handed it to Lu Chen to look at: "It might be a QQ number. This number must be quite valuable. The online name is One Leaf of Duckweed."

One Leaf of Duckweed?

The name sounded rather desolate!

Liu Li was also quite surprised: "How could her fingernails be so hard? She could carve such clear words."

Lu Chen smiled and didn't answer. Instead, he took an iron spoon and scraped off the 33566.

Liu Li said worriedly: "Xiao Chen, I think that Yang Jiangyu seems like a dangerous and mysterious person, like a mafia queen in novels. Think about it. Where did you get involved with such a person?"

Violating the rules? Encountering all kinds of people and strange things in the future?

Lu Chen thought about these mysterious words he had just heard and combined them with Yang Jiangyu's mysterious behavior. He already had a rather bad premonition. Could it be because...
