Chapter 219: Saving the Ruthless Mafia Boss 07

Having received permission, Jin Chen immediately stood up and followed the servant into the kitchen.

Liang Shu looked resentfully at his back, recalling Du Ruosong's instructions to him after he left last night.

"The boss has never before suddenly trusted someone this much."

"I know my limits."

Meng Fuchi spoke in a light tone, also not continuing to drink that bowl of porridge, he put the spoon back in the bowl, picked up his phone, and replied to messages.

"By the way, tell A Qiang and them that tonight at 9:30 at the entrance of West Street of A City, we'll seize the red-light district from the poison stock in hand."

Liang Shu's expression changed slightly, and he asked for more details.

"Do we need to contact the insider within the poison stock?"

"No, it's not a covert seizure." After replying to a few messages, Meng Fuchi hung up his phone and looked at Liang Shu, "We'll negotiate openly with them."

Open negotiation, in fact taking advantage of their unpreparedness to openly kill and seize.

Liang Shu secretly felt startled, but after these years beside Meng Fuchi he had also cultivated his courage, and nodded in agreement.

"All right, boss, I'll contact my subordinates shortly."

"Remember, I will personally handle the negotiation; Zuo Kun and A Qiang will lead people in an open kill, while others keep it secret."

Meng Fuchi gave that instruction.

"Understood."

Footsteps sounded, and the two stopped talking.

Meng Fuchi smelled a strong fragrance and lifted his head to look.

He saw Jin Chen walking over with two bowls of noodles, as if having completed something satisfying, smiling with eyes curved.

"Chi Ge, try it quickly."

Jin Chen placed the noodles in front of him, then sat down beside him, handed over the chopsticks, full of anticipation.

"Hmm."

The noodle soup looked great, even with a poached egg, not much different from a high-end restaurant; just looking at it made one's appetite surge, and although Meng Fuchi had no particular demands for food, he couldn't help feeling it was perfect in color, aroma, and taste.

He picked up a bite and tasted it; his phoenix eyes visibly brightened.

"Is it good?" Jin Chen asked, propping his chin.

"Very delicious."

Meng Fuchi sincerely praised it.

He rarely gave such comments on food, and indeed it was the first time he felt that home-cooked noodles could be this delicious, different from the usual flavors in the estate.

"It's made better than the chef's taste."

"Actually, it's a matter of taste," Jin Chen said as if deciphering, pointing to the other dishes on the table, "I noticed everything on the table is salty, and Chi Ge eats little, so I guessed you might prefer sweet."

He tilted his head, puzzled, yet implying something.

"The chef at home should know your taste well, so why make this kind of breakfast? Besides, I see Liang Ge quite enjoys it."

Meng Fuchi lifted his eyes to glance at the full table of dishes, looked toward Liang Shu, but said nothing.

These words made Liang Shu unable to stay seated; his face flushed red, he pointed at Jin Chen's nose and shouted, "What nonsense are you spouting? I'm just not picky—I can eat anything."

"Oh, but I just asked the chef in the kitchen, and he said the dishes and flavors were all instructed by Liang Ge, so maybe you don't know Chi Ge's taste very well."

Jin Chen seemed to say it unintentionally, then lowered his head to slurp his noodles, no longer looking at the hesitant Liang Shu.

"【Host, you've gone around in such a big circle below, what's the reason exactly?】 0731 indicates not quite understanding."

"【If the seed of doubt is buried, it can one day take root and sprout; Liang Shu being able to change the food's taste in the estate, making what he likes rather than what Meng Fuchi likes, shows that he has already lost respect from the bottom of his heart.】"

Jin Chen finished eating, took a tissue to wipe his mouth, and then smiled at Meng Fuchi.

"Boss, boss, I really don't know your taste."

Liang Shu had just been frightened by Meng Fuchi's gaze; he hurriedly pinched his thigh to steady himself, then forced himself to speak to explain.

"It doesn't matter; after eating, go handle business."

Meng Fuchi finished the noodles, wiped his mouth leisurely, as if he had completely not put this matter in his heart.

Only then did he relax his breath, yet at the same time he felt wary of this man of unknown origin.

However, having only been at the estate for a day, he had already discovered his own little thoughts; if he stayed longer, wouldn't it be...?

Liang Shu gritted his teeth secretly, "No, I must find an opportunity to get rid of him."

"All right, boss." He stood up and left.

Jin Chen recalled what he had just heard, turned his eyes, moved closer to Meng Fuchi, and poked his shoulder.

"Chi Ge, I have a question."

"Ask." Meng Fuchi turned his head to look at him.

"Why do they all call you boss? Yesterday in the private room… Long Ge also called you chief."

Jin Chen asked very softly, as if afraid someone might hear, almost leaning close to Meng Fuchi's ear.

"What do you think?" Meng Fuchi examined him with interest, then turned the question back.

"Then I guess… Chi Ge must be a very capable person, a big boss controlling the global underground lifelines." He said it solemnly, even nodding to himself.

Meng Fuchi was amused by him, went along with the joke, "You're right, I'm still a bad guy who kills without spilling blood, anyone could come assassinate me at any time, are you afraid?"

"Not afraid."

Jin Chen responded firmly, pursed his lips and shook his head, placing both hands over his, "I will protect Chi Ge."

"You? Protect me?" He inwardly shook his head, finding it funny, yet couldn't help sighing at the youthful mindset, "I really look forward to that day."

Anyone could tell he was just coaxing, not believing it at all, but Jin Chen smiled with curved eyes and hugged the coaxing Meng Fuchi.

"Tonight I'll go to A City, possibly return the day after tomorrow; you stay well in the estate, and if there's anything, let the servants do it."

Meng Fuchi no longer resisted their hug, and even his mood became calm because of it, so he didn't push Jin Chen away; who would have thought that after saying that, he was suddenly hugged even tighter.

……Brother Meng, won't you take me?

It's too dangerous; you can't go.

I'm not scared; I'm being serious.

Jin Chen blinked, his eyes instantly reddening, then he let go of Meng Fuchi and locked eyes with him, "But if Brother Meng doesn't take me with him, I'll worry that you're in danger—that's what I'm afraid of."

Meng Fuchi: "……

He really isn't good at comforting kids.

"There'll be guns and knives, and you'll see bloodshed you've never witnessed before."

Jin Chen still shook his head, leaning slightly against Meng Fuchi's shoulder, "Dad often went abroad and did dangerous things too; I've seen guns before, I'm not scared."

Meng Fuchi had no choice; he ruffled the teenager's hair, his tone unconsciously gentle, "Then go to A City, stay put in the hotel, and I'll come find you after I finish my business."

Okay!

Jin Chen agreed readily this time, burying his face in his wife's neck and rubbing against it, "As long as Brother Meng doesn't abandon me, that's fine."

Like a little dog that won't leave its person.

He chuckled helplessly, stroking the teenager's nape, an inexplicable sense of satisfaction welling up again.

Liang Shu booked a 5 p. m. flight, plenty of time left, while Meng Fuchi handled organizational matters in the study.

In the study.

Jin Chen lounged on the small sofa, yawning out of boredom.

He put down the game he'd finished, glanced at his wife by the desk, and suddenly a mischievous thought struck him.
