I, the wanderer of the universe, love making friends

Chapter 425 Brother Shen
Lu Ruping bit her lower lip slightly, her expression full of apology. She looked at Shen Lang and said, "Mr. Shen, I'm so sorry. I suddenly remembered that there is an urgent matter at school that needs to be dealt with. I'm afraid I can't continue to listen to your description of the project."

Although Shen Lang felt a little regretful that this carefully planned "show" ended so abruptly, he still smiled and nodded, responding in a gentle tone: "Okay, Miss Lu, I'll talk to you in detail another day."

Wang Xueqin came out from under the desk only after Lu Ruping's footsteps gradually faded away.

Her hair was a little messy, and there was still a trace of panic on her face. There was a trace of white foam that had not been wiped away at the corner of her mouth.

Recalling what had just happened, Shen Lang was talking to Lu Ruping while constantly moving around under the desk. In order not to reveal any flaws, she could only endure it and swallow everything.

At this moment, she looked at Shen Lang with eyes full of complaints, "Mr. Shen, you were really..."

When the words came to her lips, she stopped timidly, fearing that she would upset Shen Lang. Her voice trembled slightly with inner excitement.

Shen Lang chuckled nonchalantly, walked forward, and tried to comfort Wang Xueqin, "Alright, alright, it was a close call. Look, this thrill of teetering on the edge of danger has made your heart beat faster, hasn't it?"

Wang Xueqin feigned anger and said, "You are so evil. You only know how to tease others..."

As she spoke, a different light flashed in her eyes.

She recalled the situation when she was hiding under the desk just now. She felt extremely nervous and her heart was beating violently, as if she was hovering on the edge of a cliff every second.

Meanwhile, Shen Lang was calmly dealing with Lu Ruping above. Such a strong contrast actually made her feel an indescribable excitement in her heart.

She bit her lip lightly and turned her head away. "Hmph, you only know how to coax me, but... that just now, it was indeed a bit..."

Her voice became softer and softer, a faint blush appeared on her face, and her previous complaints seemed to gradually dissipate in this subtle change of mood.

Shen Lang stretched out his hands and gently placed them on her shoulders, saying softly, "Today's experience may become an unforgettable memory between us. How about I give you a gift later as compensation?"

Wang Xueqin raised her head and looked at Shen Lang's eyes, which were somewhat playful yet full of affection, with mixed feelings in her heart.

She was still frightened by the thrill of the moment, but she had to admit that this unique excitement made her feelings towards Shen Lang even more complicated.

"I'm not here for your gift..." she scolded, but there was no longer any blame in her tone.

As the two were talking, there was a sudden roar of a car engine outside the window.

Wang Xueqin's face turned pale instantly, and she asked in shock, "Could it be that Zhenhua is back?"

Shen Lang also became alert instantly. The two of them quickly tidied their clothes and hurried out of the study.

Because he didn't want to kill Lu Zhenhua for the time being.

As soon as I sat down on the sofa downstairs, I saw Lu Zhenhua walk in.

Wang Xueqin was so frightened that she trembled all over and almost cried out in surprise. She pretended to be calm, bowed slightly, and said respectfully, "Master, you are back."

Shen Lang remained calm and said with a smile, "Brother Lu, I apologize for disturbing you."

Lu Zhenhua had a bright smile on his face and said enthusiastically, "Oh, Brother Shen, I heard you were here, so I rushed over to greet you. I'm so sorry for my disrespect!"

Shen Lang quickly stood up and replied with a smile, "Commander, you are too polite. I just came to visit you on a whim. I am sorry to bother you."

Lu Zhenhua strode into the living room and glanced at Wang Xueqin.

He turned to Shen Lang and said, "Brother Shen, since you are here today, why not stay for a quick meal and have a good chat."

Shen Lang had been hoping for more opportunities to deal with the Lu family, so he readily agreed.

When Lu Mengping returned home and saw Shen Lang, she was very happy, but she didn't dare to show it too much in front of Lu Zhenhua.

His eyes suddenly lit up, like twinkling stars in the night sky, and the corners of his mouth, which had been slightly drooping, could not help but rise, outlining an uncontrollable smile.

She subconsciously sat up straight, her hands unconsciously stroking the hem of her skirt, as if trying to smooth out the non-existent wrinkles to make herself look more decent.

At dinner time, the Lu family's dining room was brightly lit, and the table was filled with sumptuous dishes. Lu Mengping deliberately sat closer to Shen Lang.

She secretly glanced at Shen Lang from time to time, her eyes full of admiration and joy.

When Shen Lang and Lu Zhenhua were talking, she listened quietly with a faint smile on her face. That smile was as bright and charming as a flower blooming in spring.

Her cheeks flushed slightly, just like the sunset in the sky. Occasionally, when Shen Lang's eyes swept over her, she would pretend to be calm and fiddle with the tableware in front of her, but the smile at the corner of her mouth became more and more obvious.

Lu Zhenhua sat in the main seat, Shen Lang, Wang Xueqin and Lu Mengping sat on both sides, and Lu Erjie sat quietly in the corner.

Lu Erhao and Lu Ruping were unable to go home for dinner due to some matters.

During the meal, Lu Mengping always found opportunities to talk to Shen Lang. Although her words were a little reserved, her eyes were always closely following Shen Lang.

Whenever Shen Lang responded to her, her eyes would light up and her face would be filled with happiness, as if she had received the most precious gift in the world.

She would tilt her head slightly, listen carefully to every word Shen Lang said, nodding gently from time to time, her eyes full of recognition and admiration for Shen Lang.

During the meal, Lu Zhenhua was in high spirits and talked incessantly with Shen Lang about his business experiences and the situation in Shanghai.

However, after three rounds of drinks, Lu Zhenhua's expression gradually became solemn.

He put down his chopsticks, sighed deeply, and said with a worried look, "Brother Shen, Shanghai has been quite unstable lately. Take, for example, Mr. Wang, the leader of the Green Gang. He and his brother, Mr. Lu, were found dead inexplicably at home a few days ago. Their deaths were horrific. The police have been investigating for a long time but have no clues. I have a feeling this is a strange case."

Shen Lang frowned slightly, took a sip from his wine glass, and slowly said, "Commander, you're absolutely right. I've also heard about these two things. I'm not very familiar with Mr. Wang, but I've met Mr. Lu a few times before. He was always in good health, so his sudden passing is truly puzzling. Commander, do you have any thoughts?"

Lu Zhenhua frowned, and after a moment's contemplation, he said, "I've been secretly asking people about this. These two were originally from the Qing Gang. Traveling in the underworld, fighting and killing are inevitable. But I still don't know who did this."

Shen Lang laughed heartily and said, "Commander, if you're in the martial arts world, there's no reason not to get stabbed. From the moment they stepped into the martial arts world, this ending was probably doomed."

Lu Zhenhua nodded slightly, "Brother Shen is right. Once you embark on the road of the martial arts world, how can you easily escape unscathed?"

At this moment, Wang Xueqin, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly spoke up: "Master, Mr. Shen, I think this matter is not simple. Mr. Wang and Mr. Lu are both well-known figures in the Qing Gang. If it is just an ordinary gang vendetta, there should be some clues. Perhaps there is a larger force behind this."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhenhua's eyes flashed with surprise. He nodded slightly and said, "You are right. There must be some big shot manipulating this."

Shen Lang also looked at Lu Erjie with interest, "Madam, what you said is very true."

Then Lu Zhenhua picked up his wine glass and said solemnly: "In any case, this matter has nothing to do with us, but we still have to be careful."

Shen Lang nodded and replied, "If you're out there, you have to be careful, lest you do something bad."

After dinner, Shen Lang stood up and said goodbye.

Lu Zhenhua said, "Mr. Shen, I think it would be better if you stayed at the Lu family tonight. We two brothers can get close to each other. I rarely meet people as compatible as you in Shanghai. As for home, give them a call and tell them. Your Madam should understand."

When Lu Mengping heard her father suggest that Shen Lang stay overnight, her eyes suddenly widened, filled with surprise and anticipation.

She subconsciously bit her lower lip, trying to suppress her inner joy, but her slightly trembling hands revealed her excitement.

She secretly looked at Shen Lang, her eyes full of desire, as if she was expecting his consent.

Wang Xueqin took advantage of Lu Zhenhua and Lu Mengping's inattention, licked her red lips at Shen Lang, and gave him a wink.

Hey!
From Lu Mengping's perspective, she is his mother-in-law.

But if the guy named Wei stole it, why can't I, Shen Lang, steal it under Lu Zhenhua's nose?

And I'm going to steal two more!
