I, the wanderer of the universe, love making friends

Chapter 432 Miss Lu, Don’t Be Nervous

After dealing with everything, he said, "I still have to go to the funeral hall, otherwise Zhang Laoer will get suspicious."

Shen Lang leaned forward slightly, his gaze fixed on Xiao Liu as if it were real. "It's settled. You certainly don't want Old Wang to die in utter disgrace, do you?"

When Xiaoliu thought about having to work in a creepy funeral hall, his heart was instantly filled with fear and helplessness, as if he was in a dark abyss.

She slowly raised her eyes and looked at Shen Lang, her lips trembling uncontrollably, like leaves shivering in the cold wind.

After hesitating for a while, he finally said in a low voice like a mosquito: "Okay, fine, since you insist."

Xiaoliu knew very well that she had no room to resist. After all, she had witnessed Shen Lang's cruelty and murderous appearance.

In the face of such absolute power, one's resistance is like an ant trying to shake a tree, small and powerless.

After the discussion was complete, the two men walked out of the back hall one after another.

Shen Lang looked calm as he walked unhurriedly to the front of the mourning hall and raised his hand to pick up the incense.

First, he bowed deeply and respectfully to Lao Wang's portrait, and then slowly lit incense.

Staring at Old Wang's portrait, Shen Lang sighed slightly, and a look of sincere regret appeared on his face.

"Brother Wang, you and I are kindred spirits. You were in your prime, full of vigor and vitality, yet you were suddenly struck by such an unforeseen misfortune. It is truly heartbreaking. May your soul rest in peace in heaven, and rest in peace."

If Old Wang knew what Shen Lang said, he would probably be so angry that he would pretend to be dead in his coffin.

After offering incense to Old Wang, Shen Lang turned and walked towards Mr. Lu's spirit tablet, offering incense and worshipping devoutly in the same way, and said a few appropriate words, his words full of respect and remembrance.

Afterwards, he walked up to Master Zhang, a faint smile on his face, and said, "Master Zhang, I have some important matters to attend to. I'll take my leave now. See you later."

"Please come in, Mr. Shen." Master Zhang bowed slightly, his body bent like a shrimp, even though Shen Lang had just attacked the people from the Qing Gang in the mourning hall and made harsh remarks.

But even though Mr. Zhang was extremely dissatisfied, he did not dare to stop it in the slightest.

He suppressed his inner resentment, forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, and said, "Thank you Mr. Shen for coming to pay tribute to my eldest brother and third brother today. If there is any inadequacy in the hospitality, I hope Mr. Shen will forgive me."

"No, no, Mr. Zhang, you are busy with your work, so there is no need to be so polite." Shen Lang nodded slightly, then turned around and strode out.

The people around him looked at him in awe and watched him leave, not daring to say a word.

In their eyes, Shen Lang was like the King of Hell who controlled life and death, and was terrifying.

Mr. Zhang personally sent Shen Lang to the door, watched him get into the car and leave, and the dust raised by the car gradually dissipated in the air before he slowly turned around.

At this moment, he was shocked to realize that his back was already soaked with sweat, and his clothes were tightly stuck to his back, as if he had just been pulled out of the water.

I was secretly glad that the storm had subsided for the time being.

The car Shen Lang was riding in slowly drove away from the mourning hall and wandered aimlessly on the bustling streets.

Outside the car window, the hustle and bustle of Shanghai's streets unfolded slowly like a colorful painting.

People come and go, the streets are busy, and the sounds of hawking and laughter are intertwined, playing a city melody.

Suddenly, Shen Lang's attention was attracted by a familiar figure, it was Lu Ruping.

She was wearing an elegant dress, the hem of which fluttered gently in the wind. She stood out in the crowd, like a lily blooming in the world, fresh and refined, pleasing to the eye.

A hint of interest flashed in Shen Lang's eyes, like the eyes of a wolf flashing in the dark night, and he immediately ordered the driver to stop the car.

He walked quickly towards Lu Ruping. "Miss Lu, what a coincidence to meet you here."

Shen Lang had a gentle smile on his face, which was like the warm spring sun, but it also contained deep meaning, as if he and Lu Ruping were old friends who had not seen each other for a long time.

When Lu Ruping heard the voice, she turned around and saw Shen Lang. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure, just like the calm surface of a lake returning to normal.

She smiled politely and responded, "Mr. Shen, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to run into you here."

Her tone was neither cold nor hot, just right, with a woman's unique reserve, and she kept a perfect distance from Shen Lang, as if building an invisible barrier between the two. Shen Lang tilted his head slightly, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, and asked, "Miss Lu, are you waiting for someone?"

Lu Ruping shook her head slightly, her hair swaying, and said, "No, I was planning to go shopping."

"I have nothing to do anyway, so why not accompany Miss Ruping for a walk?" Shen Lang suggested.

Lu Ruping hesitated for a moment, and her mind suddenly emerged with her father's respect for Shen Lang and Shen Lang's great reputation in Shanghai. If she refused rashly, it would probably not be appropriate.

She bit her lower lip, nodded slightly, and said softly, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Shen."

The two walked side by side on the street, Lu Ruping deliberately keeping a small distance from Shen Lang, like two little animals wary of each other.

The shops on the street are full of various goods.

Lu Ruping's attention was attracted by a jewelry store and she slowed down unconsciously.

Shen Lang noticed her look, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he said, "Miss Lu seems to be very interested in the jewelry in that store?"

Lu Ruping nodded slightly, then quickly looked away and said, "I just think those accessories are beautiful."

She paused, as if she had made up her mind. She turned to look at Shen Lang and said, "Mr. Shen, I've heard some stories about you from others. I heard that your Pudong Group occupies a pivotal position in Shanghai's business sector and controls most of Shanghai's businesses. Is this true? Isn't what everyone says a bit exaggerated?"

There was a hint of curiosity in her eyes, as well as the innocence and ignorance unique to young girls.

Upon hearing this, Shen Lang laughed heartily and said, "Ms. Lu, while the rumors may be exaggerated, they are not without basis. Pudong Group is indeed involved in many business sectors in Shanghai and has considerable influence."

Lu Ruping also smiled. "When I heard about it before, I thought they were exaggerating, saying that every day when I woke up, I had to pay money to the Pudong Group. Now that Mr. Shen has confirmed it, I know their rumors are true."

"That's an exaggeration. Pudong Group is not yet at the point where it can cover the sky with one hand." Shen Lang said.

Lu Ruping nodded thoughtfully.

There happened to be a street performer performing acrobatics, and cheers were heard one after another.

Lu Ruping stopped to look curiously, and her eyes were filled with shock when she saw the jugglers' thrilling movements.

He murmured, "How powerful! Could this be the legendary martial arts?"

Shen Lang watched the jugglers' movements and said, "Although these jugglers have some skills, compared to real martial arts, they are nothing."

"Real martial arts?" Lu Ruping heard this, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes. She turned to look at Shen Lang, "Mr. Shen, do you know martial arts?"

Shen Lang smiled and said, "I know a thing or two."

"Really? Then can you let me see it?" Lu Ruping asked curiously.

As he spoke, Shen Lang lightly tapped his finger, and Lu Ruping felt her body go numb and she was unable to move.

Lu Ruping's eyes were full of panic, and she found that her body seemed to be about to fall to the ground.

"Mr. Shen, what's wrong with me?"

Shen Lang hugged her body to prevent her from falling, and said: "I just performed the legendary acupuncture technique. Don't be nervous, I will untie it for you right away."

"Something academic?" Lu Ruping calmed down a little and said, "Please Mr. Shen, please solve it for me."

Shen Lang touched her with his finger, but Lu Ruping didn't feel anything.

"Strange." Shen Lang's face was full of surprise. "Did I order the wrong thing? Miss Lu, don't be nervous, I'll try again."

As he spoke, his hands were touching Lu Ruping's body.

Touching Lu Ruping...
