Bulwark of Light

Chapter 54 Dinner

Laocheng Hot Pot Restaurant.

This is an old hot pot restaurant located in a remote alley in Qinghe District. It is very popular. Usually, you need to book in advance to get a seat. There is an open-air rooftop on the second floor.

Tonight’s rooftop on the second floor was covered by three youngsters.

“It’s so fragrant—”

Zhong Wei took a deep breath, and he swallowed: “…Where does the smell of the pot come from, it’s too fragrant, right? , I’m about to cry, how long will Xiao Gu be here?”

Senior Sister Luo patted him lightly with unopened chopsticks and warned, “Just wait. If you don’t care, don’t move your chopsticks.”

Soon.

The hot pot was served, a large piece of butter was poured with a thin layer of tea, and it was simmered slowly. small bubbles.

“As expected of the hot pot restaurant that the teacher found…” Zhong Wei looked at the red oil pot and said with emotion: “It must be delicious if it is hidden so deeply. I won’t move my chopsticks, so I can taste it first. Soup?”

Senior Sister Luo glared at him.

Zhong Weisan retracted the spoon.

After a light cough, Zhong Wei changed the subject and said sternly: “Speaking of which…Xiao Gu is really surprising and unexpected, the review team are all ruthless characters, they don’t seem to be. He looks like he can release water, how did he pass the audit?”

Nan Jin, dressed in casual clothes, sat on the edge of the rooftop, with one hand on the balcony railing, she looked out at the alley. Outside the street corner, he said softly, “I think Gu Shen is hiding a hand. Interpretation of dreams… is probably his forte. Remember Han Dang’s last expression?”

senior brother and senior sister looked at each other at the same time.

In Gu Shen’s apartment, when the lock box was opened, Han Dang looked stunned.

“You mean, it’s very possible… in orphanage, Han Dang and Gu Shen have already had a confrontation.” Zhong Wei narrowed his eyes, feeling that this matter began to become interesting, “And Han Dang, this old fox, was deceived by Gu Shen.”

“Interesting…”

Luo Er was also interested, she muttered: “No wonder Han Dang wants to He came to the apartment to grab the lock box… He thought there was important physical evidence in the lock box. In the end, he was completely deceived by Gu Shen.”

“Han Dang’s ability is called ‘Mantra’, he can release a considerable amount of A powerful spiritual realm, forcibly pulling people into a dream, in a dream, no one can lie to him.”

Zhong Hang’s speech quickened: “So he pulled Gu Shen into a dream, thinking he was there There are clues in the ‘Mantra Domain’, but in fact the clues are false at all.”

“Awesome…” Senior Brother Zhong muttered: “So the truth is that Gu Shen found Han Dang in a dream. It’s incredible…”

“What’s the truth, we don’t know, and it doesn’t matter… The review is over.”

“What’s certain is that, Xiao Gu is not as simple as we thought.”

Senior Sister Luo laughed and looked at the head, “We were not optimistic about his results before, but he won the ‘S-Rank’ and broke the Several records from the Tribunal.”

She thought of what Gu Shen said to herself on the training ground.

This teenager did it.

It’s not easy and it’s amazing.

“Come on.”

Nan Jin said in a low voice, at the same time he pulled up the peaked cap by the table and pressed it firmly on his head.

He was still a little confused about Nan Jin’s action of putting on his hat… at first, he understood why.

The rumbling sound of the engine roared beside my ears.

An extremely eye-catching jet-black convertible supercar drifted through a corner, followed by a sudden stop and brake, and the tires clung to the ground and wiped two tire marks.

All eyes were drawn to a point.

“Aha-“

“Waiting for a long time!”

The old man with a cigar spewed a large puff of smoke on his back while everyone watched, Greeting warmly to Disciples on the rooftop on the second floor, Mister Shu changed into an exaggerated white gentleman’s dress, looking like a heavyweight guest who was going to attend a state banquet, but Gu Shen next to him was covering his cheeks tightly, Don’t want to be exposed to the public eye.

This old man has social bullshit, right?

How can anyone dress like this… to eat hot pot!

……

……

“You guys, why are you looking like this? For fear of being seen?”

“Relax, the second floor has been wrapped.”

Zhou Jiren climbed to the rooftop and saw his three Disciples were wearing hats and shrugging their heads, and couldn’t help saying with a smile: “Eat After the hot pot, I have to go to see a friend, and it is better to dress formally. Otherwise, I don’t mind being a simple citizen with a vest and pants.”

Behind him, Gu Shen came to the rooftop, long relaxed.

The torment of this journey is finally over. Gu Shen can’t count how many people look at him with strange eyes, which are full of surprises, envy, jealousy, contempt and so on. mood.

It didn’t feel right from the time he got in that supercar…he just hated himself for being too young, too thin-skinned, and not having any experience with an Old Guy.

If he did it again, he chose to wear a thick mask.

Mister Shu took off his coat, each minding their own business and took a seat. He flicked the cigarette ash and pointed out: “Everyone is in a hurry, right? Gu Shen’s review has already ended. , and ended up being pulled by Cui Zhongcheng to be alone for two hours.”

Zhong Wei cast a meaningful look at Gu Shen and said with a smile: “Oh huh? Cui Zhongcheng is amazing. People, what did you two talk about, tell me honestly!”

“Actually, I walked around Dateng Public School a few times.” Gu Shen also took off his jacket and said helplessly: “It has been reviewed… He asked me what my requirements were.”

“You got an ‘S-Rank’ rating to have this meeting. Everyone’s comments on Cui Zhongcheng are unanimous. This person is very efficient but cold-blooded. Mean robot, he talks to you only because you are valuable.” Senior Sister Luo asked, “What demands did you make?”

Is everyone’s evaluation of Mr. Cui like this? Gu Shen was a little surprised.

The work efficiency is very high, I can really feel it.

But cold-blooded and mean…I don’t feel that way at all. On the contrary, some qualities of Mr. Cui make him feel warm and even vaguely resonate.

“I don’t have many requests…” Gu Shen twitched his fingers and said, “It’s probably some protection for the orphanage children. There’s also something to hide from my mother-in-law.”

Several people at the table looked at each other in blank dismay.

A brief silence.

“…”

Zhong Wei said: “No more? This is it?”

“Is there anything else?”

Gu Shen was a bit at a loss, “By the way… I also asked him to investigate the fire case to the end.”

“These demands are not simply demands. Didn’t you mention some… heavyweight conditions? Zhong Wei hurriedly said: “For example, linking to the high-level authority of the deep sea, the top-level Breathing Technique, or choosing an extraordinary sealed artifact?”

“This…” Gu Shen was dumbfounded. ?”

Too young.

Poverty limits one’s imagination.

When talking to Cui Zhongcheng, he didn’t think about it at all.

Compared with what Senior Brother Zhong said, his request was indeed too vulgar and too vulgar, no wonder Cui Zhongcheng’s vision at that time was so… worthy of recollection.

As an S-Rank, it’s too easy to meet your own requirements.

“Aha—”

Mister Shu patted Gu Shen’s shoulder with a smile, “I think Xiao Gu is a good choice! Zhao Xilai and Cui Zhongcheng are not good guys, no It is necessary to take advantage of them!”

Nan Jin remained silent when it came to Cui Zhongcheng.

She silently leaned against the rooftop to blow the wind, her eyes drifting to the gradually shrouded night in the distance.

“Alright, alright. The review is over.”

Old Guy smiled and toasted, “Let’s toast tonight, congratulations to the ruling. New to S-Rank!”
