CEO Lu was dumbfounded.
So all this time, the name these people kept talking about was fucking me!
The business they wanted to do was kill me!
Someone put a bounty on me!
What am I, Monkey D. Luffy!?
Lu Chengwen covered his face, lowered his head, and leaned close to the woman. "Heroine, let's go."
"What's the rush? Didn't you say you were treating me to dinner?"
"Let's head back downtown and find a proper restaurant. This place... isn't safe."
The woman smiled smugly. "As long as you behave and stay with me, you'll be perfectly safe."
The various groups all took their seats.
A man sidled over, dragged over a stool himself, and leaned right up to Lu Chengwen. "Brother, want some intel?"
Lu Chengwen looked at him. "Intel on who?"
The man covered his mouth. "Lu Chengwen!"
After saying that, he darted furtive glances around the room.
Lu Chengwen looked at him. He wanted to say something, but held himself back and changed his words. "You know something about him?"
The man grinned. "I noticed you the moment you came in!"
"Really?"
"Of course. Not just me—everyone here noticed you."
Lu Chengwen grew nervous.
Fuck, isn't this over for me? They all noticed me. Does that mean... wait, I'm dressed like such a loser today. They shouldn't recognize me, right?
"How did you know we were here to do business too?"
Lu Chengwen went along with the conversation.
"You people—on the surface, this great beauty is the leader, but in reality, you're the one calling the shots."
"Oh? What makes you say that?"
"Heh heh!"
The man said, "You may not be handsome—in fact, you're even a little ugly. Your martial arts are atrocious too; anyone who didn't know better would think someone had fed you poison.
