Chapter 2042 The Current Situation
When the Monkey King made his appearance, he was quite the big shot.
The head of the Zhang family followed behind, while she walked ahead with an arrogant air.
Those of lower rank have no right to approach.
Only Jiang Xiaohou and Lu Chengwen were in the restaurant.
Jiang Xiaohou was overjoyed to see Lu Chengwen: "Brother, I missed you so much."
Lu Chengwen smiled and asked, "Are your injuries really completely healed?"
"Yes, I've improved quite a bit. I'll protect my brother."
Zhang Jiucheng smiled and said, "The food and wine are ready. Monkey and President Lu, you two chat, I'll go arrange things with the kitchen."
Lu Chengwen said, "Patriarch Zhang is no outsider, please stay for dinner."
"Isn't this... inappropriate?"
Jiang Xiaohou smiled and said, "I am deeply grateful to Patriarch Zhang for taking me in. As a guest of honor, I cannot possibly turn you away. Please join me in eating. Since you have taken me in, you should know something about how things are progressing."
Zhang Jiucheng said, "President Lu and the Zhang family have a deep bond of gratitude, and my son has been able to rise to prominence thanks to the guidance of the Monkey King. The Zhang family is a grateful family and will never forget this kindness. Moreover, it is an honor for the Zhang family to host the Monkey King; we would be more than happy to do so."
Lu Chengwen skipped the formalities and asked directly, "How did it go?"
Jiang Xiaohou shook his head: "The Drunken Old Man has appeared. White Tooth defeated Rat Head and was about to capture him alive when the Drunken Old Man rescued him. He said he would give an explanation, but there has been no movement so far. And the Skynet is also silent, without any activity. The places where they used to operate have obviously been abandoned, and no useful clues have been left behind."
"My brother may need to stay here for a while longer."
Lu Chengwen was extremely depressed.
Although there's no shortage of food and drink here, it always feels boring, like being in prison.
"White Fangs defeated that rat-headed guy?! And almost captured him alive?!"
Lu Chengwen still can't quite believe it; this is the big shot who even Jiang Shang has a headache.
Jiang Xiaohou nodded: "Bai Menya is extremely arrogant and conceited, but he has the ability to back it up. At the age of fifteen, he split a coffin while wearing mourning clothes and became a legend in one battle. Since then, he has inherited the position of family head."
"Two of Bai's most capable ministers also stood up to support Bai Menya, assisting him for ten years. Now, Bai Menya's strength is soaring, progressing by leaps and bounds."
"This time, everyone was surprised, but not too surprised. Because White Teeth... his whole life has been about giving people these jaw-dropping feats."
Lu Chengwen murmured, "Fifteen years old... coming from such a family, one can imagine that he went through a very difficult period. It is also clear that his strength must be outstanding."
Jiang Xiaohou said, "No one from the other three major families dares to underestimate him in the slightest because of his youth. This is because his cunning and strength are top-notch, not inferior to any other family head. Under his management, the Bai family has shown no signs of decline, and in recent years it has become even more formidable. It has to be said that he is a terrifying person."
Lu Chengwen looked at Jiang Xiaohou: "It's said in the martial arts world that he and Big Brother are good friends and equally skilled. Is that true?"
Jiang Xiaohou frowned and looked at Zhang Jiucheng.
Zhang Jiucheng immediately said, "I'll go see why the dishes haven't arrived yet."
Jiang Xiaohou calmly said, "Sit down."
Zhang Jiucheng immediately sat down: "It seems the dishes are all ready."
Jiang Xiaohou said, "Since you believe me, I will believe you too."
Zhang Jiucheng felt a little embarrassed, but mostly grateful.
Jiang Xiaohou said, "Brother's strength is unfathomable, and very few people can force him to a desperate situation. Without the strength of Senior Huang, no one dares to say that they can defeat him."
Lu Chengwen said, "But he can't beat the Rat Head."
Jiang Xiaohou laughed: "That's not necessarily true."
"What do you mean?"
Jiang Xiaohou took a deep breath: "His abilities are different from Bai Menya's. But Bai Menya won't underestimate him, and we can't underestimate Bai Menya either."
“The Bai family has Bai Menya, and our Jiang family has Jiang Xiaohu. Grandpa and Father are also grooming him to be the future head of the family. Don’t worry, brother.”
"By the way, White Tooth suddenly invited me to the Bai family home the other day. Could there be some kind of conspiracy?"
Jiang Xiaohou frowned: "Is that so? I don't know. There shouldn't be any conspiracy. Bai Menya doesn't like to use conspiracies. He's too arrogant and always likes to do things in a grand manner. Most of the time, things are out in the open."
"Besides, we're currently in a period of cooperation, so he won't harm you."
Lu Chengwen nodded.
Jiang Xiaohou laughed: "Do you still want to ask about your sister?"
"Um... is she alright?"
"Great! The marriage is all settled, and I'm so happy every day. My belly has gotten a little bigger."
Lu Chengwen nodded: "Let's stop talking and start eating and drinking."
Jiang Xiaohou said, "My father asked me to ask the Dasheng Group how their preparations are going."
Lu Chengwen picked up some food and said, "Leng Qingqiu personally took charge of this matter. She knows what's important, and I've explained the specific nature of this matter to her. She's very efficient, but setting up a department requires a recruitment and selection process, so please give her some time."
Lu Chengwen suddenly said, "Where are my senior brother and junior brother? Let them have a good meal too."
A short while later, Long Aotian and Zhao Ritian entered.
Upon seeing the table laden with delicious food, Zhao Ritian was the first to sit down: "Oh, my friend, you've arrived! Hahaha! This is double the good fortune! You're not only Lu Chengwen's fiancée, but also my good friend!"
"Lu Chengwen!" Zhao Ritian said sternly, "She's my good friend. You'd better treat her well from now on! Otherwise, I won't let you off the hook!"
Lu Chengwen looked at him and said, "Eat your vegetables, eat your vegetables."
Jiang Xiaohou looked at Zhao Ritian with a smile; she quite liked this silly boy.
Long Aotian was much more polite: "Monkey King, you've improved a lot in just a few days."
"You're too kind, senior brother. Please have a seat."
"Ah."
At this moment, the steward knocked on the door and entered the room: "Master, everyone, the Yu family head has arrived."
Zhang Jiucheng looked annoyed: "Why is he here?"
The steward said, "It seems they knew about the Monkey King's visit to our house and came to pay a visit on purpose."
Zhang Jiucheng said with displeasure, "Just tell the Monkey King that he doesn't have time to see him and to let him go."
Jiang Xiaohou was unhappy: "How could anyone know where I am?"
"Uh……"
Zhang Jiucheng said, "Your Highness, please calm down. This Yu family head is from a recently rising family in the Northern Kingdom. He is highly regarded by the Bai family, and it is said that the Jiang family also takes good care of him. Therefore..."
"You mean, he might have gotten the information from our Jiang family?"
"This... I'm not sure either."
Jiang Xiaohou sneered: "I wonder which member of the Jiang family took a liking to him. Let him leave his gifts and go back."
"Yes."
Zhang Jiucheng turned around and went out to handle the situation.
Lu Chengwen sensed something was wrong, something very wrong.
“No, the three of us can’t meet with him. If he continues to communicate with other people, then our affair will be exposed.”
"I've already sent them away."
Lu Chengwen said, "You should still go and take a look to find out his purpose and background."
Jiang Xiaohou nodded: "Okay."
