However, retainers must be prepared to die before their lord. If they are really in danger, they will not live in vain. However, in the current situation, neither the main family nor the academy is prepared for a full-scale war. Even if Yuan Zhisheng and Lu Mingfei fight, it will not be necessary to decide life and death...
Eiry buried her head and hid behind Lu Mingfei, writing quickly on a small notebook. Then half of her body was almost pressed against Lu Mingfei's body. One hand supported the man's shoulder blade, and the other hand held the small notebook above her head. She poked her head out from beside Lu Mingfei's shoulder and looked at Yuan Zhisheng.
"Brother, go back first. I'll be back later."
Everyone saw what was written in the small notebook. Crow and Yaksha swallowed their saliva and rolled their Adam's apples. They whispered to the gangsters around them to disperse the pedestrians nearby.
They don't know the destructive power of Lu Mingfei, but they know the destructive power of Yuan Zhisheng.
If a fight really breaks out, the Peninsula Hotel will probably not be able to operate for the next half month.
This time, Lu Mingfei could see that Yuanyuan Zhisheng's expression had changed visibly. The smile on his relatively friendly face gradually faded, and a golden torch slowly ignited in his originally evil long and narrow eyes, as if an angry dragon was awakening in front of him.
Yuan Zhisheng stared into Eri's eyes, forced a smile with difficulty, then turned his gaze to Lu Mingfei's eyes, and his expression became cold.
"Eri and Miss Sakura should go home first. Be obedient and I will come to find you." Lu Mingfei patted the girl's head behind him and made this move under the gaze of Yuan Zhisheng's golden eyes, which were far more dangerous than Chu Zihang's never-extinguishing ones.
Eiry hesitated for a moment, then reached out from behind Lu Mingfei and hugged him gently, her eyes misting again.
But she still nodded and went to Ying's side obediently.
"What would you like to eat, Miss Eri?" Sakura asked with a smile. She was taller than Eri to begin with, and the two girls didn't look out of place standing together. Asking this question in such a gentle tone, she sounded like Eri's sister.
Eri wrote "I want to eat five-eye fried rice" in her little notebook, then looked at Sakura with her big, bright eyes.
Ying nodded, "Okay, let's go get some five-eye fried rice."
Crow glanced at Yuan Zhisheng's eyes, then understood what he meant and followed him with a group of men in black suits.
For a moment, this place became very empty again.
Yaksha hesitated for a moment, and thought carefully for a while with his brain which was far inferior to Crow's. He still felt that he was not suitable to stay in such an occasion. After bowing to Yuan Zhisheng, he chased after Crow.
In a very short time, Lu Mingfei, Yuan Zhisheng and the black Hummer next to them were the only people left in the parking lot, and the road on the side was filled with passers-by again.
"Want one?" Yuan Zhisheng took out a soft seven-star cigarette box from his arms, opened the lid, and the butt of a cigarette slipped out. The box was facing Lu Mingfei, and the cigarette butt was also facing Lu Mingfei.
Lu Mingfei chuckled, then skillfully pinched the cigarette between his index finger and thumb and took it out of the cigarette box.
"How did you two know each other?" Yuan Zhisheng took a step forward, almost bumping chests with Lu Mingfei, but he did not do anything out of line. He just took out a lighter from his arms, protected the flame with his other hand, and reached out to the end of the cigarette that Lu Mingfei was already holding in his mouth.
Lu Mingfei lowered his head slightly, and the slight crackling sound of the burning tobacco and rolling paper fell so clearly into his ears.
"The head of the Uesugi family often plays the online version of Street Fighter, and I have fought against her many times." Lu Mingfei said. This was an excuse he had thought of long ago. At the same time, he modified the network data through Norma, completely filled the loopholes, and deleted the previous data backups. In this way, even the artificial intelligence Kaguya of the Japanese branch could not find any clues.
Yuan Zhisheng seemed to be thinking about something, but did not ask any more questions.
The two of them leaned against the bumper of the Hummer and smoked together. The gold in Yuan Zhisheng's eyes slowly faded away, and the wind blew towards them.
They didn't say anything else, probably because they weren't the talkative type, so they just finished a cigarette together.
The lights on all sides made Lu Mingfei feel like he was in a huge Buddhist shrine. While smoking, he was thinking about how he should face Xia Mi and how he should explain things to her. He was also thinking about how he should face himself.
"Once you enter the hotel, the manager will take you to the presidential suite. Your two classmates are there. The champagne that Gattuso requested will be delivered later." After smoking a cigarette, Yuan Zhisheng said to Lu Mingfei.
"Ah."
"I will restrict Eri's travel, and you will not be allowed to see her again. She was too excited when you were together, and her state was not stable, which may lead to some bad consequences." Yuan Zhisheng said, he did not look at Lu Mingfei, but just looked at the lights in the distance, "You don't understand now, but you will know why later."
Lu Mingfei puffed on his cigarette, then threw the cigarette butt into the puddle, watching it slowly go out and then slowly get soaked and then completely soaked and sink. The ripples of the puddle subsided, reflecting the dimly lit city of Tokyo.
"No," he said, "You can't control me, and you can't control her."
Yuan Zhisheng finally frowned, and the threatening dark golden color reappeared in his eyes, but when he turned to look at Lu Mingfei, he was suddenly stunned.
For a moment, he felt that he was being stared at by gods and demons.
The man's eyes, which were originally covered by his hair, were now exposed. The brilliant golden color was like a torch, with a terrifying red color, as if lava from deep underground was flowing out through the pupils of his black eyes.
"I am here on behalf of the Blood Pact Society, Director of the Japanese Executive Bureau Yuan Zhisheng." Lu Mingfei said calmly,
"Please be careful how you talk to me."
The dense sound of war drums, which only Lu Mingfei could hear, rang out from Yuan Zhisheng's chest, but Lu Mingfei just looked at him quietly without giving in.
Finally, the pair of evil eyes that exuded a golden luster chose to dim, and the sound of the war drums slowly subsided.
He flinched.
"I understand." Yuan Zhisheng said, then got into the Hummer with an expressionless face without even looking at Lu Mingfei.
The sound of an engine roared from inside the car. Lu Mingfei moved aside and watched Yuan Zhisheng leave.
Chapter 157 The Reunion of the Psychopaths
Although it seemed like they had broken up, Yuan Zhisheng's men still took the lead to help Lu Mingfei drag the suitcase to the presidential suite that Sheqibajia had booked for Commissioner Cassell at the Peninsula Hotel in Tokyo.
A short, fat man with a protruding belly and a slightly bald head trotted behind Lu Mingfei, his greasy face full of smiles. As he walked, he said polite words like "Welcome to our store, it is a great honor to have you there."
Lu Mingfei smiled at him and said, "Excuse me, could you please send a bowl of pork bone ramen, fried garlic and fried tempura to my room? The food on the plane can only be used to fill my stomach, and it's hard to say whether it can make me full."
"Your honored guest wants to eat pork bone ramen with fried tempura for supper today. Please prepare an extra portion of miso soup. Go and prepare it!" The manager shouted in a low voice to the waiter who was also jogging beside him, then wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked up at Lu Mingfei.
"Does the guest have any other requests?"
"Nothing."
Lu Mingfei hesitated for a moment, "Please buy me two packs of cigarettes, Soft Seven Stars, the bill will be paid to Yuan Zhisheng."
When he came in, he saw the manager walking with his suit open, and on the lining was the family crest of the Yuan family, one of the eight families of Sheqi, which was a dark-colored gentian.
This means that this famous hotel in Tokyo is actually owned by the Sheqi Eight Family. At the very least, the Sheqi Eight Family also has a large controlling stake in this hotel.
"Yes." The manager trotted and took Lu Mingfei to the VIP elevator. He pressed the floor button for him considerately, then put his hands on his knees, bowed slightly, and walked away backwards.
Lu Mingfei couldn't really make too many expressions, he just thought that it would be quite charming if the thin-waisted and long-legged Yamato Nadeshiko were to do this pose. Bro, you're 160cm tall and weigh 180kg, aren't you tired doing this pose?
The VIP elevator that only serves the specialists of the headquarters today took Lu Mingfei to the top floor. This elevator can actually be used for sightseeing. Through the thickened glass, Lu Mingfei can see the entire Shinjuku and even the entire Tokyo descending in front of his eyes, and finally spread out, stretching into a sea of light and fire.
With a ding sound, the metal sliding door slid open to both sides. Before Lu Mingfei could move, men and women on both sides of the corridor said in deep voices, "Thank you for your hard work and welcome to Tokyo Peninsula."
Waiters in tuxedos bowed deeply on both sides of the corridor on the top floor leading to the top-level presidential suite, waiting for Lu Mingfei's inspection. On the walls were hung replicas of world famous works, "Sleeping Venus", "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon", "Dancing Girl at the Moulin Rouge", "Nude"... The windows were huge carved glass, and the ceiling was painted a noble and deep dark purple, so deep that it looked like pure black.
Lu Mingfei hesitated for a moment, thinking that he had been here before, so why didn't he remember it being so luxurious before?
The white sandalwood door of the presidential suite at the end of the corridor was open. Four women were waiting at the door. One of them was tall and cold, like a sword drawn from its sheath. She had a badge of the general manager on her chest. Judging from the name, it was probably the kind of name that Japanese women like Akiko Morikami often used. The general manager had a smile on her face and peach blossom eyes. She had a rather graceful figure. Although she was considered a young woman, she was still very attractive. It was not difficult to see that she was also a stunning beauty when she was young.
But Lu Mingfei's eyes twitched.
Caesar and Chu Zihang didn't know much about the Eight Sheqi Families. In addition, some of the heads and institutions of the Eight Sheqi Families rarely appeared in public, so it was normal for them to be deceived.
The manager's name is obviously not Morikami Akiko, but Sakurai Nanami, the head of the Sakurai family among the eight families of Snake.
In the previous period of time, Lu Mingfei had met the head of the Sakurai family. She was a beautiful lady with lingering charm, comparable to Chu Zihang's mother.
No one knew why Tachibana Masamune would send such an important character to monitor these exchange students who haven't even graduated yet.
The other three were probably just waitresses. They were wearing high-slit tight cheongsams that were completely different from the head of the Sakurai family. They were indeed Yamato Nadeshiko with slim waists and long legs. Each waitress had a tray with bath towels and lotion in her hand. It seemed that they were preparing to provide presidential suite massage services for the guests.
Lu Mingfei didn't say anything. Chu Zihang was indeed a silent and persevering person, and his behavior sometimes reminded people of an ascetic monk, but if you think about it carefully, this guy is also a legitimate second-generation rich man in China. Although he is not as rich as the Gattuso family, he has been well-dressed and well-fed since childhood.
Not to mention Caesar, who had already enjoyed all kinds of pleasures that most people would never be able to experience in their entire lives before he was eighteen, so naturally he would not refuse the massage service of a beautiful woman.
This means that Lu Mingfei is the most miserable one among the three people in the group. He has never enjoyed the benefits of the secret party and has to work for the secret party.
"In the bathroom of the suite, we have prepared hot spring water drawn from natural hot springs for our guests, and the executive chef is always on standby to prepare whatever you want to eat."
Ms. Sakurai Nanami, disguised as Akiko Morikami, bowed to Lu Mingfei.
She had her hair tied up in a high bun, and was surprisingly more attractive than the other young girls around her. She twisted her waist and walked towards Lu Mingfei while chatting and laughing.
"I have two more companions." Lu Mingfei said.
"They are already resting in the room. The two guests asked us to prepare some Black Dragon sake to warm their bodies, which will be served soon," said Nanami Sakurai.
Lu Mingfei nodded, and felt a fragrant aroma coming towards him.
-----------------
Lu Mingfei refused the waiters' request to help carry his bag and went into the suite alone. Brown rice tea had been brewed on the coffee table. The small nozzle teapot was bubbling over the fire, and the lid was lifted and lowered. In the huge French window, the black curtains were tied up with cable ties, and the night view of Shinjuku rushed into Lu Mingfei's eyes like a tide.
Chu Zihang and Caesar were sitting on the sofa playing cards as if nothing had happened. They were actually playing Double Landlord. It seemed that Master Gattuso and Master Chu rarely played this kind of popular game, and they were both scratching their heads at this moment.
"Oooohhhhhh——" Lu Mingfei dropped the nearly 100-pound mountaineering bag with a clang, closed the door behind him, and finally stretched out comfortably.
"Hey, where did this chicken monster come from!" When Caesar looked up and shouted, Lu Mingfei saw that his forehead and cheeks were covered with white paper strips. This was probably the punishment for losing a card game.
Master Gattuso was rarely in such an embarrassing situation. At this moment, he took advantage of Boss Lu entering the room and made a prompt decision and shouted loudly, shaking off two-thirds of the paper.
Chu Zihang also looked up at Lu Mingfei, but did not notice Caesar's smug expression.
"Caesar and I saw it." Chu Zihang said.
"What did you see?" Lu Mingfei sat down on the sofa and leaned back tactically as soon as he picked up a cup of hot tea.
"Just now, there was a girl we don't know hugging you from behind." Chu Zihang had a somewhat embarrassed face when he spoke.
"We won't tell Junior Sister, but this is wrong."
"Lu Mingfei, you're amazing. It hasn't been long since you got off the plane, but you've already hooked up with the eldest daughter of the Sheqi family." Caesar winked at Lu Mingfei and at the same time squeezed the remaining paper off his face.
Lu Mingfei sipped the hot tea in small sips, then covered his face helplessly.
"Sometimes I really don't want to bother with you guys," he said.
"Your behavior is like being furious after your lie was exposed." Chu Zihang picked up a few white paper strips from the coffee table and stuck them on Caesar's forehead and cheeks expressionlessly. "But it doesn't matter. As long as Caesar and I don't tell anyone, Junior Sister won't know."
The veins on Lu Mingfei's forehead were throbbing.
"Lu Mingfei, Chu Zihang and I are very familiar with your resume. Your love life was almost blank before entering Kassel College, so it is forgivable that you lost your composure when facing the beauties of the Sheqi Eight Families. Don't worry, we will never write this matter in the mission report." Caesar said seriously, putting away the cards in his hand and tearing off the note that Chu Zihang had just re-stuck on him, obviously preparing to take this opportunity to end this game in which Master Gattuso was defeated.
Damn, playing cards requires a lot of calculation ability and memory, but these are not Caesar's areas of expertise.
As everyone knows, the student union president's theoretical scores in various subjects have always been at the bottom among the students of the same class. Caesar has undoubtedly inherited this fine tradition and has not yet completed the credits for his sophomore year.
By the way, Caesar is a junior this year.
“I say, can you please talk about serious matters, such as why the principal sent us here, and how far you two have come since accepting the Nibelungen Plan? Why the hell are you harping on my trivial matters? Why?” Lu Mingfei held his forehead with his hand.
In other words, he was the one who got into this trouble. If Caesar or Chu Zihang had encountered the same thing, this guy would probably have behaved even more exaggeratedly.
Speaking of business, Caesar and Chu Zihang looked at each other quietly.
Chu Zihang immediately stood up and checked the entire reception room, searching for all possible locations where pinhole cameras and eavesdropping devices might be hidden.
Caesar calmed down and quietly opened the Kamaitachi Field. No matter how small the movement in the room was, it could not escape his detection.
