He felt that time passed so quickly.
At this time, another little fat man squeezed in between Lu Mingfei and Li Pengfei, raised Boss Lu's arm with a wink, rolled up his sleeves, and admired the watch that Ling gave him.
Xu Leilei's weight loss journey seems to be quite difficult, but it is also quite effective. Now he no longer looks like a complete fat ball like before, and standing there he looks like an emperor penguin.
"Hey, Brother Lu, is that a Vacheron Constantin? That must be expensive, right? Can you get it for 50,000?" Xu Leilei turned the watch over and over, holding Lu Mingfei's hand like a dirty uncle.
“How could that be? I couldn’t even recognize that this is Vacheron Constantin. My classmate Lu Ling saw that my wrist was too empty and lent it to me to save space.” Lu Mingfei said.
The fat boy's face was full of collagen, and he kept nodding his double chin in admiration. "I can't recognize which model this is. I don't think you can afford 50,000 yuan. Brother Lu, your classmate is a rich man. Maybe he is interested in you... Won't your girlfriend be jealous?" he said.
"No way, she is the most beautiful girl in our Kassel Academy. She has countless suitors. It is said that the queue stretches from the Elizabeth Palace in Moscow to the entrance of the super-large horse farm in Ulaanbaatar." Lu Mingfei talked nonsense and pulled Xu Leilei to sit on the sofa.
Xu Leilei smacked his lips and moved closer to Lu Mingfei's ear. He cautiously glanced at Ling who was being pulled by Su Xiaoqiang to chatter in the corner. "Wow, brother Lu, you don't understand this, do you? Even though you were a pretty boy of the same level as Chu Zihang in school, when it comes to love, your brother has much more experience than me," he said.
Lu Mingfei's eyes twitched. What kind of weird nickname is this? Damn, why don't you call me Sakura like the humpback whale?
"How many girls would follow a boy they don't even like to travel thousands of kilometers to a foreign country to investigate the local investment situation?" Xu Leilei shrugged. "Besides, if he can give you something as good as Vacheron Constantin, how can he be short of money? I see that your classmate is Russian, and he might have a huge industry in Moscow. Does he need an internship outside of school?"
Lu Mingfei somewhat agreed with this.
But then again, he didn't need Xu Leilei to remind him of this.
As early as in Sapporo, Hokkaido, at the ball hosted by Henkel, Lu Mingfei had already understood the princess's feelings.
"Did you call Chu Zihang a pretty boy before?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"Chu Zihang, he is the same electric and light as you, brother Lu, and he is the enemy of our generation." Xu Leilei was actually quite awed when he mentioned Chu Zihang. If the rising star Lu Mingfei made the alumni of Shilan Middle School know what a loser's counterattack is, then Chu Zihang has truly left an indelible psychological shadow on the brothers of their class. After all, the record of hundreds of thousands of scholarships that topped the list has not been broken by anyone except Lu Mingfei so far.
Okay, now the topic has finally been directed to Chu Zihang. And while Lu Mingfei and Xu Leilei were chatting, more brothers gathered around.
The heating system was humming as it blew warm air, and everyone's faces were flushed, as if a group of people were gathering around a campfire to keep warm.
"I visited Chu Zihang's mother some time ago. By the way, Aunt Su still looks like a little girl now, just like before," said Lu Mingfei.
Xu Leilei's twin brother Xu Yanyan said: "That's not true. I have always suspected that Chu Zihang inherited his peerless beauty from his mother."
"I saw Aunt Su dancing the Silk Road Flower Language in a documentary some time ago. She was so stunning, much prettier than the female stars on TV today." A buddy nodded in agreement.
"I remember that Chu Zihang and you, Brother Lu, went to the same school. What was it called? Kassel College, right? I heard it was a fraternity school of the University of Chicago, next to Little Goddess." Another buddy said.
Over there, the tip of Su Xiaoqiang's ears moved like a rabbit.
"It's almost like being next to each other. We are only separated by half of Lake Michigan. Last year, the University of Chicago held a sailing regatta with the Cassel School." Su Xiaoqiang's voice was clear and came from afar. "Last year, we also went to Six Flags to ride the roller coaster together. Chu Zihang came with us."
"Huh. I remember I was there that time too, but I didn't see Senior Brother Chu." Liu Miaomiao said, and Chen Wenwen nodded, "Yeah, it seems Chu Zihang didn't come." She agreed.
Lu Mingfei opened his mouth and was about to speak, but then he saw Su Xiaoqiang secretly winking at him.
"Wasn't it a circuit failure? It also caused an explosion in the underground pipeline. We were all evacuated. Later, after I sent you to the airport, Mingfei came to me again to have dinner together. The one who drove him was Chu Zihang and Chu Zihang's father." Su Xiaoqiang said with a smile.
"Uncle Lu is so nice to Brother Chu and even went to Chicago to see him," said Liu Miaomiao.
Chu Zihang has a super rich stepfather named Lu Tianming. This is no secret in Shilan Middle School.
Lu Mingfei's heart moved slightly, thinking that the little angel was worthy of being the little angel. It was no problem for her to get along with everyone in the business world, so it would be easy for her to bring up a topic now.
"It's not Boss Lu, it's Chu Zihang's biological father." Su Xiaoqiang said.
Xu Yanyan punched his own palm: "I think I've seen him before. He looks about 40% similar to Chu Zihang. I was still in junior high school at that time. He drove a Maybach and was so cocky that even the security guards at the gate of our school had to salute him."
"Of course not. I've also seen that car. It's worth 900 million. Not to mention our door, even if it's driven to the City Hall, the security guards there will have to salute." Xu Leilei said.
The noisy chatter in the tea room broke out again.
Speaking of Chu Zihang's biological father, the burning gossip fire among the brothers in the literature club was reignited.
“Come to think of it, I’ve never met Uncle Chu, and my senior brother never mentioned him to me.” Lu Mingfei said with a smile.
Chen Wenwen blinked, holding a cup of hot wine, "I have seen it, I have seen it. When I was in the second grade of junior high school, Uncle Chu drove that Maybach to pick up Senior Brother Chu and sent me home." She said, "But I heard that the car is not his, but the boss of Media Asia Group."
"His father seems to be called Chu Tianjiao. He used to drive for the head of the tax bureau, and later drove for the president of Media Asia Group. He was very handsome when he was young. I heard my mother talk about him." A girl said, "My mother used to be an employee of the Municipal Cultural Bureau and knew Aunt Su."
"I heard that he was able to win Aunt Su over because of his handsomeness." said another girl.
"You said I'm quite handsome, so why doesn't anyone like me?" Xu Yanyan spread his hands and sighed.
Su Xiaoqiang chuckled, "You have nothing to do with the word handsome." She said jokingly. Xu Yanyan was not angry either. She shrugged and said, "When I lose weight, I will be a Korean handsome guy. If you don't believe me, just wait and see."
Su Xiaoqiang didn't believe that he could really lose weight, so he narrowed his eyes and said, "Just watch."
"By the way, I remember my father told me before that when Chu Tianjiao first came to the city, the Public Security Bureau secretly followed him for a while." Li Pengfei scratched his head, "He said that he had just entered the country from Japan and his whereabouts were strange, like a spy."
His father used to be the director of the Public Security Bureau.
Lu Mingfei's pupils shrank slightly.
Did they actually find useful information?
So smooth?
Something is wrong, like there's a dog behind this.
Chapter 467: Classmates Are Not Cheap (3)
"Uncle Chu still has a file at the Public Security Bureau?" Lu Mingfei asked casually.
"Logically speaking, people like him who returned from Japan at that time should have files left at the local Public Security Bureau or National Security Bureau, right?" Xu Yanyan smacked his lips and nodded.
Chu Tianjiao's whereabouts that can be confirmed are not only in Kassel College in Chicago, USA, but also in Japan.
The responsibilities on this man's shoulders may be far more than many people imagine. In fact, this is conceivable and understandable. With the Word Spirit. Time Zero, the strong S-level bloodline, and the astonishing sense of responsibility, Chu Tianjiao is clearly a young Chinese version of Hilbert Jean Angers in the eyes of his contemporaries. In the foreseeable future, if Angers has to choose a suitable successor to inherit his legacy after his death and become the principal of Kassel College, and replace him at the core of power in the world of mixed-bloods, then Chu Tianjiao is definitely the best candidate.
But for the vested interests of the secret party, what makes Chu Tianjiao more terrifying than Ange is that he is not a lone avenger.
Although Ange is an ambitious dictator, his heart is filled with hatred for the dragons and humans who caused the Summer Mourning incident. He has been fighting against the dragons all his life, but his goal is by no means to gain unparalleled power in the process of fighting against the dragons.
Ange is a monster without ambition. In the hands of the school directors, he is the sharpest knife, but no matter how sharp the knife is, it is still just a tool, so the school directors are willing to delegate power to Ange. Who knows if this dictator doesn't care whether what he has is worthy of what he has paid, and he will support whoever supports his revenge.
But Chu Tianjiao is different. Judging from his experience at Kassel College, this man is definitely not an ascetic monk. On the contrary, his heart is full of various desires. At the same time, he is definitely not a lonely person. It is almost certain that the family that can cultivate such an excellent and dandy descendant as Chu Tianjiao is definitely not an ordinary family. At the same time, he has his own wife and his own son. Power is like dirt to Ange, but it is something that Chu Tianjiao cannot let go of once he holds it tightly.
In short, people like Chu Tianjiao will definitely be regarded as a thorn in the side by the school board, but the role he can play is too great. Even in the secret party full of strong people and talents, he can definitely be called a super hybrid who can establish his own school.
It is hard to imagine that the school board would be willing to hide a man as powerful as Angers, who is under the command of the executive department. Then it is not surprising that he appears in any corner of the world and leaves a record. Besides, Japan is not a place that the school trusts, so it is normal to send Chu Tianjiao to the lair of the Sheqi Eight Clan.
"But then again, Uncle Chu is really talented. I heard that Aunt Su used to be the most popular girl in the city's dance troupe." Lu Mingfei said with a smile.
"Of course not. Chu Zihang's father was a top student who studied in Japan. In the 80s and 90s, we in China were sold that kind of stuff. No matter how badly you did in China, you could go abroad to gild yourself and come back to become a returned PhD that big companies would be eager to hire." A buddy who was quite an angry young man when he was in middle school interrupted.
Lu Mingfei raised his eyebrows, thinking that this time he had gained a lot by accident.
"Uncle Chu is he a returned student from Japan?"
“I don’t know. I heard it from my dad… In the past, the president of Media Asia Group often went out for entertainment with him, and Chu Tianjiao drove for them. One time, he mentioned this person when they went out for a drink.” It seems that the buddy didn’t care much about Chu Tianjiao’s affairs, and he might not even have associated this person with Chu Zihang when he was first mentioned.
After all, the paralyzed senior brother is tall, handsome and rich, raised in a wealthy family. Even if we know that his biological father is not around, he can hook up with a beauty of Aunt Su's level. He must be the son of a high-ranking official, right?
Who would have thought that he was a driver?
"I have some impression, but it's not very clear. It's been many years, and it was mentioned before Media Asia Group went bankrupt." The brother ate salted peanuts and drank a glass of Lafite red wine, which was a combination of Chinese and Western. He had some nostalgic look on his face and scratched his hair. "Chu Zihang's father came to our place to develop business in late 88, right? We were not born at that time, so my father only mentioned it once. I really don't know more."
"Hey, why are you bringing that up? Let's drink." Lu Mingfei drank the wine gulply, looking quite heroic.
Lu Mingfei knew very well that Chu Tianjiao could not completely expose his whereabouts when he came to this city to carry out a mission. It was a gain to be able to get some information from his classmates. It was simply a pipe dream to want to get further intelligence.
But as long as he knew approximately when Uncle Chu came to Hefei, he could directly obtain some rough information by investigating the city’s population system and travel records of that year.
Although senior EVA has escaped the shackles of digital life and has also lost the ability to control information communications around the world, she still retains a small amount of basic information authority. She has not yet left the hotel where Lu Mingfei is staying. She can wait until the class reunion is over and then go back to the hotel to ask EVA to hack into the system for investigation.
If the black box indeed contained the bones and blood of the Dragon King, no matter whether it belonged to the Black King Nidhogg, or to Vidoflnir, the King of Sky and Wind, the first monarch created by the Black Supreme as mentioned by Lu Mingze, it must have been kept in Angé's hands before being handed over to Chu Tianjiao for safekeeping.
The safest place that Lu Mingfei could imagine Angers being able to access was the ice cellar of Kassel College. After all, he even kept Norton's dragon cross there. Moreover, the contemporary Flamel mentor, the Night Watcher, was with him, and he was gradually creating a super alchemy matrix that was expected to become the world's first to guard the ice cellar.
In this situation, the ice cellar is definitely the safest place when facing enemies below the Dragon King level, even safer than being kept by Chu Tianjiao.
If it is confirmed that Chu Tianjiao came to this city around 1988 and brought with him the box containing the Dragon King's bones and blood, then something must have happened during that time that made Angé feel that the academy's ice cellar was no longer safe.
But why does he feel that this city is safe enough?
Lu Mingfei's eyes flickered slightly, and the brothers in the literature club around him were quite conscious and did not disturb their senior brother Lu.
One possibility after another was rejected in Lu Mingfei's mind, until the names of the last two people slowly emerged before his eyes.
Lu Lincheng, Qiao Weini.
There have been only a handful of S-level people in the history of the Secret Party. Lu Mingfei was even called the destined leader of the organization on the first day he joined Kassel Academy.
But the small city of Hefei attracted three super hybrids who were removed from the archives system of Kassel Academy in the same period of time.
Chu Tianjiao appeared here perhaps because Lu Mingfei’s father and mother were also in this city. They were not alone in standing guard on the other side of the darkness, but a group of people watching over the future of mankind at the same time.
Considering the special relationship between them, Lu Mingfei felt that something was beginning to click in his mind regarding the whole incident.
The Murasame sword that Chu Zihang carries now was once enshrined in a Japanese shrine for ten years. The person who took it away was Lu Mingfei's mother Qiao Weini, and then the sword appeared in Chu Tianjiao's hands. Is there some... secret here?
At this time, Xu Yanyan came up to Lu Mingfei and said to him slyly, "Brother Lu, your girlfriend looks a lot like Senior Sister Chen. They are simply carved from the same mold."
This guy made faces while talking, and Lu Mingfei was a little confused. "It's a coincidence," he said.
Although it is possible that the similarity between Nono and Eri is not just a coincidence as he said, Lu Mingfei is facing many difficulties now and he really does not have more energy to think about the relationship between Nono, Eri and the White King.
"Brother Lu, you are not embarrassed to tell us that your girlfriend is actually Sister Chen, so you just made up a name and title to deceive us?" Xu Yanyan looked suspicious. Lu Mingfei obviously noticed that the other people around him also pricked up their ears, although they were still doing their own things and chatting about their own things.
"I remember Senior Sister Chen is your cousin, right?"
Lu Mingfei retreated tactically. He had actually forgotten what excuse his senior sister had given him when he was taken away from the literature club graduation party.
Xu Leilei came over and lowered his voice and said that at the graduation party, our little angel confessed her love to you and was rejected by you. She cried so hard that it was pitiful. At that time, both of you were a little embarrassed. At this time, Senior Sister Chen descended from the sky, and everyone sitting in the audience was shocked by Nono's good looks and long legs, and everyone forgot to pay attention to the little angel's confession.
Lu Mingfei laughed dryly and said, “Hahaha, how is that possible? Senior Sister Chen and I are innocent and respectful to each other. There is nothing between us.”
Xu Yanyan bumped into Lu Mingfei's shoulder and said, "Brother Lu, you've been exposed." "Respect each other like guests" should not be used in this context, but Lu Mingfei ignored him. Lu Mingfei was looking at Su Xiaoqiang. The girl was laughing with Eriyi, and although Ling had a blank expression on his face, he didn't mean to leave.
No wonder he always felt something was wrong. Lu Mingfei finally remembered that when his senior sister came to pick him up at the graduation party, she had a close encounter with the little goddess. There was no reason for Su Xiaoqiang to forget that kind of thing. When she saw Eri, she should have thought that Eri was Nuonuo, but she seemed to act as if she didn't know her at all.
Liu Miaomiao said, "I think Senior Brother Lu’s girlfriend is not Senior Sister Chen who came to pick him up at the graduation party that year. They have different temperaments, and we girls can recognize them."
Lu Mingfei came back to his senses and nodded quickly, patted Liu Miaomiao on the shoulder and said, "It's all thanks to the little piano beauty who played the piano, unlike you all who have lost your eyes."
But who knows Liu Miaomiao shrugged and said, "Brother Lu Lu, why do you like this type of girl so much? They look so much alike, do you really have a sister fetish?"
Lu Mingfei had a gloomy face, but everyone burst into laughter.
"Actually, I'm not a sister-lover. I like the type with a curvy figure." Lu Mingfei nodded affirmatively and at the same time, he blatantly but covertly looked up and down at Liu Miaomiao's figure as a counterattack. The little girl blushed and covered her face and ran away. Chen Wenwen glared at Lu Mingfei and quickly chased after him.
Su Xiaoqiang was definitely not the most developed of the three beauties in Shilan Middle School. Although her face was more delicate than anyone else and her figure was quite slender, she was still a little different from I Nuonuo's above-average figure.
