Chapter 234: Saving the Ruthless Underworld Boss 22

One week passed quickly under Meng Fuchi's meticulous arrangements.

Du Ruosong was still immersed in the joy of soon being able to pocket ELF; others also kept it tightly secret, so no problems were detected.

The day of the cruise banquet arrived quickly.

After learning there was an insider, the police formed a special team to investigate covertly, found that it matched Meng Fuchi's information, and also involved a unique item worth over a hundred million, so they dispatched special police and ELF to go together, hoping to capture Du Ruosong and the Devil organization attempting to smuggle the unique item across the border in one fell swoop.

——

On the day of the banquet.

In the evening, the cruise ship lingered by the coast.

White gulls flew and danced, the sea breeze brushed the face, the salty moisture of the sea waves filled the air, the sunset sprinkled on the sea surface, sparkling with light, golden glints leaping.

A steady stream of luxury cars surrounded the coastal highway, delivering the cores of various organizations attending the banquet and the nobles to the side of the cruise ship.

ELF members attended in full dress.

Meng Fuchi wore a black overcoat, tall and outstanding in appearance; behind him were ELF's core subordinates and disguised special police; his aura was cold and stern, no one dared to step forward to greet him.

However, what drew others' attention this time was a boy who had never appeared before but could now accompany Meng Fuchi at his side.

He wore a white suit, looking somewhat immature yet not out of place, instead exuding a noble aura, his appearance could be described as stunning.

And being affectionate with Meng Fuchi without reservation, he instantly became the talk of the onlookers.

Everyone speculated that Meng Fuchi, known as the cold-faced Yama, who never lost his heart, now could not escape the beauty's pass, and for such an important banquet he even brought his lover along.

The gangway rose, with the sound of the whistle, the cruise ship set sail away from the coast.

After checking the invitation, they first entered the main hall of the preliminary banquet.

Inside the banquet hall was lavish and extravagant, the symphony orchestra played uplifting melodies.

This voyage lasted half a month, with three banquets: the preliminary on the first day, the main on the third day, and the closing on the last day; the 20-deck cruise ship's facilities were complete, entertainment options abundant, also showing Devil's great wealth.

"Chi Ge, why are they all staring at me?"

Jin Chen felt the gaze constantly falling on him, strange indeed, and unconsciously tightened his grip on his wife's arm.

He hadn't forgotten that everyone on this cruise ship were bosses of various organizations, how intimidating.

Meng Fuchi also glanced a few times, roughly understanding why, somewhat embarrassed he rubbed his nose, and the cold aura he had shown outward instantly vanished.

"I've attended various banquets before and never brought a male companion; perhaps they find it novel."

That's how it is.

Jin Chen lifted the corner of his mouth in a smile, a sweet arc appearing at his lips, "It turns out I'm so honored."

"You must have attended such banquets not a few times, after all you were formerly the Young Master of the Jin Family and have seen the world."

Du Ruosong, hearing their conversation, couldn't help but sneer.

To prevent any mishap at this banquet, he specially investigated Jin Chen's background, only to find that he was still one of the few major clans of the imperial capital, now fallen to this state and even working as a bartender, whereupon he looked down on Jin Chen even more.

He also wore a black formal suit, which should have matched Meng Fuchi, but because of Jin Chen's presence it was forcibly stripped of all charm, instead making him look out of place; how could Du Ruosong swallow this resentment?

Jin Chen glanced at him, a cold light flashing in his eyes, but it dissipated the moment Meng Fuchi looked over, his expression aggrieved.

"Chi Ge, did I make Du Ge angry? It's all my fault."

His expression truly evoked pity; Meng Fuchi's heart softened, he reached out to ruffle his hair, soothed him gently, and also gave Du Ruosong a cold stare.

"What are you always targeting him for?"

Du Ruosong: "……"

He was so angry his back teeth clenched, yet under everyone's gaze he had to maintain composure.

"I haven't targeted him; it's you, Fu Chi, bringing this person to such an important banquet—what if something happens?"

"You're so worried," Meng Fuchi said, hooking his lips in a cold laugh, his tone unfathomable.

"What could happen? Go ahead and say."

"I……"

Du Ruosong could of course not say that; he was just angry that Meng Fuchi cared so much about this person.

Obviously, the one who first confessed to him was me; if he had agreed and handed over ELF's management to me, none of the later events would have happened, I wouldn't have to pretend with Liang Shu, nor would I have plotted this banquet with Devil.

Now everything is about to end; as long as this banquet ends, I can openly and legitimately take ELF into my possession.

By then, as long as I get Meng Fuchi out of prison……

Thinking of what comes after, his anger lessened considerably and a false smile welled up.

"It's fine, I won't hold it against him."

Seeing Du Ruosong's confident appearance, Meng Fuchi and Jin Chen exchanged a glance and smiled at each other.

【Detected Villain Blackening Value -5, total 35.】

0731, seeing the full banquet hall from the space, suddenly asked.

【Host, there should be a lot of seafood to eat here……slurp.】

Jin Chen's hand holding the wine cup swayed a bit, helplessly he pressed his lips together.

【You ate nearly ten jin of meat that day, and it's already digested?】

【……Yeah.】

0731 is very honest.

"What's wrong?"

Meng Fuchi glanced sideways and asked him.

"Nothing, I just suddenly remembered the pet pig I raised before; it really likes seafood."

Jin Chen laughed and shook his head.

【????】0731, angry, flipped a somersault in the space.

"Boss, the Devil leader is coming over."

A Qiang reminded him at his side.

Edejia walked down the spiral staircase, followed by several big men with full beards and fierce faces.

He dressed flashily, piling all kinds of ostentatious ornaments on himself; some of the get‑up looked ridiculous, yet they could not hide the bloodlust and coldness in his eyes.

Welcome everyone to attend this banquet; I am honored to have this opportunity to gather you all together to jointly admire the beautiful seascape of our country.

Edejia spoke in awkward Now we need to output English, his attitude enthusiastic; although the people in the banquet hall sensed something was off, they still had to applaud, their expressions varied.

Meng Fuchi, however, coldly interrupted.

It seems Mr. Edejia does not really understand the global distribution of seas.

He raised a slight smile, lifted his goblet toward Edejia, his tone firm and resonant.

The position where the cruise ship is now is still Huaguo waters; Mr. Edejia, do not get it wrong.

The symphony in the side hall continued, yet it could not block Meng Fuchi's voice.

Edeji remained silent for two seconds, stared intently at Meng Fuchi, then suddenly burst out laughing.

You are the leader of ELF, Mr. Meng?

Meng Fuchi nodded slightly, his attitude neither humble nor arrogant.

Very good; I have long admired your name, and I am delighted to meet you today.

Edejia stepped forward and extended a hand toward him.

The two shook hands; in their eye contact, both smiles hid sharpness, and their auras yielded nothing to each other.

The people in the banquet hall watched this scene, some sighing.

Only ELF, the Huaguo organization capable of standing equal to Devil, exists.
