âYesterday, I met with Captain Hao and the others. I also met with a new informant. Sha Ying has also been transferred back to Jindo City. From now on, I will be in charge of Xiang City.â Jiang Yao proudly shook her head. Then, she sat on the chair and took two bites of Lu Xingzhiâs fried noodles. She looked like she was enjoying herself as she said, âYour culinary skills are getting better.â
Lu Xingzhi felt his heart ache when he saw her enjoying a bowl of fried noodles without any good ingredients. âAre you having trouble eating in Xiang City? I should not have let you go to Xiang City in the first place. Youâve lost weight in just a few days.â
While Jiang Yao was eating the noodles, Lu Xingzhi sat beside her and accompanied her. His eyes were glued to Jiang Yaoâs movements. When he saw the soy sauce on her lips, he immediately bent down and kissed her. Then, he continued to look at her.
âSit over there.â Jiang Yaoâs head was almost buried in the bowl of noodles. She could not stand that guyâs infatuated gaze.
âNo.â Lu Xingzhi rejected her.
Jiang Yao was left with no choice but to roll her eyes at Lu Xingzhi. Then, she started to talk to him. âHave you learned anything in the past few days by Brother Jingâs side?â
âYes.â Lu Xingzhi nodded. âBrother Jing and Ah Da have a very good relationship. They seem to be close brothers.â
âItâs hard to imagine.â Jiang Yao was speechless. She thought that the two of them were also competitors.
Lu Xingzhi said, âThereâs another piece of news. There should be another person who has the same powers as Brother Jing and Ah Da in the group. I guessed it when I overheard Brother Jing and Ah Da talking on the phone. Both of them seemed afraid of that person.â
Jiang Yao frowned, âBut the information did not mention that person. All the information from the informants did not mention the existence of that person. There are still people above Brother Jing and Ah Da, but none of our informants have any relevant information.â
âThat person seems to have joined the group not too long ago. From Brother Jingâs words, it seems that that person favors the Boss that Brother Jing and Ah Da mentioned, so the Boss especially values him. Brother Jing and Ah Da donât see the Boss often, but that person seems to always be by the Bossâ side.â
Jiang Yao said, âBrother Ding doesnât seem to know about that personâs existence either. Heâs really mysterious.â
âEven though that person has the same powers as Brother Jing and Ah Da, Brother Jing and Ah Da have to support him because theyâre closer to the boss. Although Brother Ding is considered powerful in Shu City, heâs not the core figure. That person is a new member. Itâs not strange that Brother Ding doesnât know about them.â Lu Xingzhi patted Jiang Yaoâs head. âIâll try my best to find out the identity of that person. All you need to know is that thereâs such a mysterious person.â
He wanted Jiang Yao to be more vigilant.
As the two of them were talking, Lu Xingzhi watched as Jiang Yao finished more than half of the bowl of noodles. Jiang Yao pushed the remaining half of the bowl and chopsticks toward him. Then, she touched her stomach and burped. She was too lazy to speak, so she let Lu Xingzhi finish the rest.
It was rare to see Jiang Yao so sluggish. Lu Xingzhi teased her and reached out to touch her slightly bulging stomach. He smiled and said, âDo you want me to rub it for you? Is the child mischievous in your stomach? â
The corner of Jiang Yaoâs mouth twitched. She raised her foot and kicked his leg. She muttered, âWhose child is this? I canât eat anymore. You eat the rest⦠Donât waste it.â
