Chapter 1322: Do You Have the Confidence to Kill Him?

~8 min read 1,495 words

Jin Ling Pailou is an authentic local catering brand in Jin Ling. It has several branches in Jin Ling and specializes in authentic Jin Ling cuisine, which is deeply loved by locals.

Arriving at the entrance of Jin Ling Pailou, He Yuanjiang introduced to Ye Chen: "My ancestors for three generations were authentic Jin Ling locals. From my birth to my adolescence, I have always lived in Jin Ling. Later, I went to the United States to study and took root in the United States. I have returned to live after being away for decades. Suddenly, I feel that the food in my hometown is really attractive. I can't get tired of eating it no matter what. Although the school's teacher cafeteria provides various foods for free, I still run here every noon to eat a bite of authentic Jin Ling cuisine."

After finishing, he asked Ye Chen: "But you have lived in Jin Ling for so many years, will you have long been tired of eating it?"

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said: "I actually have no pursuit of food. In the ten years in the welfare institute, I ate clear soup and light water every day, and I didn't feel anything wrong. Later, I went to the construction site to work, and I felt that steamed buns with boiled water every day were quite good."

He Yuanjiang could not help but sigh: "The life you lived before you were eight years old, few people in this world can compare to it. After falling to the bottom for so many years, how did you adapt?"

Ye Chen smiled: "When I was very young, my parents taught me not to be happy with things and not to be sad with myself, so for me, there is nothing to adapt to. It's just that if you come, you will be safe. Whether it is living in luxury or eating bran and vegetables, in my opinion, there is actually no difference."

He Yuanjiang sighed: "You are exactly the same as your mother in this point. When we were undergraduates, your mother not only won a full scholarship by strength, but also worked in restaurants outside the school in her spare time. Her daily food and clothing were also very frugal, and she never spent extravagantly."

"I remember at that time, at the end of each semester, your mother would use the money she saved for a semester to travel, and she was a backpacker who traveled poorly. At that time, we all thought your mother's family conditions must be very poor. Later, we found out that your mother's family strength could be described as the best among Chinese people in the world..."

Ye Chen smiled and said: "The her in my impression is indeed very frugal. She always taught me to learn to be frugal and not to waste. When eating, she didn't even allow a single grain of rice to be left. This is very similar to my father. Neither of them has any pursuit of material things."

He Yuanjiang agreed: "So your mother and your father could get together. In the time when they should be young and frivolous, they were already detached from material pursuit and low-level interests, unlike us, who thought about making money and seeking fame and reputation every day when we were young."

As he spoke, He Yuanjiang entered the restaurant first and made a gesture of invitation to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen hurriedly followed him in. At this time, the lobby on the first floor of the restaurant was already bustling with noise.

Jin Ling local restaurants are quite similar to tea houses in Jingcheng. Basically, the first floor is a lobby with many tables and many people, so the environment is relatively noisy, but most people like this messy feeling.

And in the center of the first floor, there is a small stage specifically for people to sing local operas. At this time, two actors are singing Kunqu opera on the stage.

After He Yuanjiang came in, he pointed to the stairs and said to Ye Chen: "Ye Chen, I booked a seat on the second floor. It is cleaner upstairs, let's go up."

"Okay."

Moving to the second floor, the environment was slightly cleaner. A waiter saw the two coming up and hurriedly came to them, saying politely: "Professor He, you are here!"

He Yuanjiang nodded and smiled: "Still the old seat, I have greeted your manager."

The waiter said: "Our manager has already told me, you two come with me."

The seat He Yuanjiang chose was a booth by the window, a small square table made of raw wood, with four sides that could seat four people, so the two sat opposite each other by the window.

He Yuanjiang pushed a menu over and said to Ye Chen: "Ye Chen, you order, see what you like to eat."

Ye Chen waved his hand and smiled: "Uncle He, you better do it, whatever you order, I will follow."

After finishing, he suddenly discovered two familiar figures at the same booth by the window not far away.

These two figures, one old and one young, were exactly the two ancestors and grandchildren he saw in He Yuanjiang's office.

Ye Chen was slightly surprised in his heart, but did not show any clues, just naturally took his sight back.

At this time, Mai Chengxing and Mike did not know that the person they were looking for was sitting not far behind them.

They came a little earlier, the food had already been served, and they had already started eating for a while.

While eating, Mike asked Mai Chengxing: "Great-grandfather, did you have any preliminary plans for how long you will stay in Huaxia this time?"

Mai Chengxing shook his head and said: "Let's take one step at a time. I vaguely feel that this trip to Jin Ling will be an opportunity, so I don't plan to leave before the opportunity appears."

Mike nodded lightly, wanting to say something, but looked at the surrounding environment and held it back.

At this time, Mai Chengxing's mobile phone rang.

He glanced at the screen, saw that it was Su Chengfeng calling, and pressed the answer button.

On the phone, Su Chengfeng asked: "Uncle Mai, have you found out who the so-called God Dragon Descending to the World is?"

Mai Chengxing said helplessly: "We have only been in Jin Ling for a few hours, it's impossible to be so fast."

Su Chengfeng asked again: "Uncle Mai, then after you find him, do you have the confidence to kill him?"

Mai Chengxing's expression changed, and he said seriously: "I only promised to help you investigate. You said this kind of thing, I will not do it."

Su Chengfeng's tone was a bit anxious: "What's the use of just investigating? If you find out and can't solve it, isn't the result the same? I had a nightmare last night and lost copper coins all night. All of them are facing up. I'm almost forced out of anxiety. If I don't get rid of this heart-troubling enemy, I won't be able to sleep peacefully in the future!"

Mai Chengxing's tone was a bit cold: "Chengfeng, I, Mai, only do three things in my life. These three things are looking, calculating, and changing! Looking and calculating are discovering problems, and changing is using the methods within my ability to help you improve the problems I discovered. This definitely does not include the kind of low-level things you just mentioned! If you want to find someone to do that kind of low-level thing, then you should look for someone else!"

Su Chengfeng on the other end of the phone suddenly fell silent.

After about half a minute, Su Chengfeng's tone was also a bit cold and said: "Since this is the case, then I have to trouble Uncle Mai to help me find out who the God Dragon Descending to the World is, and then tell me the name and information of the other party. As for the rest, you don't need to worry about it."

Mai Chengxing was a bit angry, but soon suppressed the anger in his heart and said lightly: "Okay, if there is nothing else, I will hang up first."

Su Chengfeng said coldly: "Uncle Mai, please."

Mai Chengxing hung up the phone, and Mike opposite hurriedly asked: "Great-grandfather, what happened?"

Mai Chengxing sighed and said: "It's not convenient to talk here, I'll tell you after we go out."

Mike nodded, stopped asking, and lowered his head to eat.

Not far away, Ye Chen, because his senses were unusually keen, had already heard the conversation between Mai Chengxing and Su Chengfeng.

Hearing Mai Chengxing call the other party Chengfeng, he knew that the person on the other end of the phone was Su Chengfeng.

In this way, these two ancestors and grandchildren were sent by Su Chengfeng to find him! ===== CHAPTER 1323 =====
