Is "Ramen Shop" Code for Some Organization?

Welcome to "I'm Trapped in the Same Day for a Thousand Years," exclusively produced by Feilu Novel Network, narrated by Sang Ze Wang Xiaomo Lao He.

What?

Be polite?

How could I not be polite when I see you?

Gu Ruibo replied to Li Ruota.

Oh, no, well, just be polite and don't provoke him.

Li Ruotai quickly replied.

The words were rather strange, and Gu Rui Bo was stunned by Li Ruotai's words. He had subconsciously thought that Li Ruotai was giving him face, after all, he was Li Ruobing's boyfriend, and Li Ruotai called him brother-in-law.

Li Ruotai and Gu Rui Bo are good brothers, so it's normal for him to be polite and give them face.

It was just a subconscious thought, but now Gu Rui Bo could definitely sense that something was wrong; Li Ruotai's tone and attitude were off.

Ataiguribo carefully chose his words before turning and leaving the office.

The bodyguard followed him and closed the office door. He spoke into his phone, "Why do I get the feeling that you're a little afraid of your brother-in-law?"

The two were too familiar with each other; just from Li Ruotai's tone of voice, Gu Rui Bo could clearly sense that something was wrong.

Afraid?

Sigh, it's not that I'm afraid, it's just that I have my older sister's connections.

Li Ruotai tried to smooth things over by saying a few words, then added, "You should be more polite, Little Google. Don't blame me for not warning you."

Li Ruotai clearly wanted to say something, but didn't mention A Tai's situation.

Gu Rui Bo asked me directly, "Don't try to hide it from me. I'm not stupid; I can tell if your brother-in-law is up to something."

Gu Rui Bo had heard that Wu Chen was a disciple of a prestigious family before, and some of the rumors in the circle were told to him by Li Ruotai himself.

Although Li Ruota hasn't been to Magic City recently, the two have been frequently talking on the phone.

But when Li Ruotai mentioned Wu Chen to Gu Ruibo before, he only said that his older sister's boyfriend was really here this time, and that his brother-in-law was quite capable.

The word "capable" carries significant weight when uttered by someone of Li Ruotai's status and position.

That concludes Gu Rui Bo's understanding of Wu Chen.

Gu Rui Bo now clearly sensed that something was very wrong.

Little Google

Li Ruotai paused for a moment before asking, "Is anyone nearby?"

Gu Ruibo understood what Li Ruotai meant, said "Wait a moment," and then waved to the people near the corridor entrance.

Not only Gu Ruo, but also his bodyguards, a group of people under Mao Rusong's command, all understood when Gu Rui Bo waved in the corridor and walked to the other side of the corridor.

They've all gone far away, there's no one around anymore, go ahead and speak.

Gu Rui Bo spoke into the phone again, his brows furrowed slightly. "What is it? Are you afraid someone will overhear?"

Li Ruotai hesitated for a moment, wondering what he could reveal to Gu Rui Bo.

It can't be numb!

Hesitant and stammering.

Gu Rui Bo urged him on.

The two had a good relationship and spoke freely.

You know about my situation, right?

Li Ruotai said.

Yes, I know. I'll get it done for you. Don't worry, I'll definitely handle it for you.

Gu Rui Bo said that Li Ruotai was about to get into trouble, and the mastermind behind it was Wei Family.

Li Ruotai has almost finished arranging this matter; all that's left is to set the Crown Entertainment Club on fire.

Regarding this matter, Li Ruotai used his connections to handle some minor issues that he could resolve himself, while the major issues would be addressed by Li Jia later.

Li Ruota has been frequently speaking to Gu Ruibo on the phone lately, hoping that Gu Ruibo can help him solve a small problem.

Therefore, Gu Rui Bo knew, knew very clearly.

What, does this have to do with your brother-in-law?

Gu Rui Bo asked another question.

He told me all of that.

Li Ruotai said.

Ah?

Gu Ruibo didn't understand. He told you everything?

Everything about investigating me was orchestrated by Li Ruotai.

Gu Rui Bo fell silent for a moment, stunned, then bewildered, before asking, "What?"

How did he know?

Do you know anything about his background?

My family owns Ramen Shop.

Li Ruotai said.

Is "Ramen Shop" a code name for some kind of organization?

Oh no, it means exactly what it says: a typical family running Ramen Shop in a small county town.

Do you even believe that yourself?

Of course I don't believe it, and neither does my dad, but we just can't find any information about his family background. If there were any other connections, our Li Family can't find anything about them either.

Gu Rui Bo fell silent again; he needed to catch his breath, as there was a lot of information to process.

He also talked to my dad about my sister's situation; they had a private discussion.

Li Ruota then asked, "And then?"

Gu Rui Bo asked immediately.

Then it's like my dad reached some kind of agreement with him, I don't know, my dad doesn't tell me or my sister, but I feel that because of him, my dad's attitude towards Ding Jia has changed.

I spoke with my dad on the phone this morning, but he didn't explain things clearly. He just meant that I should listen to my brother-in-law. There are some things I can't tell you, as they involve my sister and Ding Ruilong. Things have been quite complicated in the East Sea lately.

Li Ruotai found it difficult to fully express his feelings to Gu Ruibo, but Gu Ruibo still understood a lot.

This Wu Chen had a secret conversation with Li Maoren, the contents of which he kept from his children.

Gu Ruibo couldn't quite imagine what had happened, but Li Ruota's words spoke volumes. His tone and attitude made Gu Rui Bo realize that Li Ruo was genuinely afraid of his brother-in-law. Was he afraid of a young man four years younger than him with no connections?

God's ordinary family, God's family runs Ramen Shop, Little Google.

Do you believe that some people can predict the future?

Li Ruotai suddenly asked Gu Rui Bo.

Well?

What?

Gu Rui Bo seemed not to have heard clearly. After a moment's reaction, his tone was off. He said, "You mean your brother-in-law? Well, I can't really explain it. Just don't mess with him. Be polite. You'll understand once you get to know him better."

What you told me before, I asked him, it was a misunderstanding, don't worry, it's okay.

Gu Rui Bo was completely intimidated by Li Ruotai. What he said earlier was quite impressive, and by the end it had even started to sound a bit mystical.

You two talk, it's fine. I'll be fine too, unless you deliberately offend him.

You two talk. Let me know if anything comes up.

Li Ruotai was referring to a phone call with insider information.

Wait a minute, A Tai.

Gu Ruibo called out immediately.

There's another question.

What?

Li Ruotai asked.

Has your brother-in-law ever practiced martial arts?

When I heard the news, I was told that his marksmanship was terrifyingly good.

Gu Rui Bo asked.

This time, Li Ruotai paused for a moment before saying, "You know Zhou Huan, the one who's with my sister, right?"

Know.

Gu Ruibo replied.

Every large family has exceptionally skilled bodyguards, known for their well-rounded abilities and outstanding fighting skills. They are typically top elites who have retired from elite special forces.

There were several members of the Li Family, one of whom was right next to Li Ruobing — Zhou Huan.

According to Zhou Huan, my brother-in-law is not human.

I have a question for Zhou Huan: if he personally led a group of men, could they defeat him?

They dare not say, dare not guarantee, do you understand?

Li Ruotai said.

Ah, I get it.

Gu Rui Bo demonstrated the Heart Sutra very well, and his tone was relatively normal.

That's settled then, you two can discuss the details.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Ruibo composed himself, his expression grim. He took a deep breath and then smoothed his slicked-back hair.

He turned and gestured to his bodyguards, indicating that they didn't need to follow.

Then, Gu Rui Bo pushed open the office door and went in alone.

Haha, Mr. Wu, I've heard so much about you! A Tai always mentions you to me, haha.

Gu Rui Bo burst into laughter as he entered, and after taking only a few steps forward, he reached out to shake hands with Wu Chen.

Seeing Mao Rusong's bewildered expression, he thought, "What the hell is going on? You're not even this enthusiastic towards your own father!"

When Wu Chen saw Gu Rui Bo approaching, he politely stood up and shook hands with Gu Rui Bo.

Gu Rui Bo was incredibly enthusiastic, laughing heartily as he shook hands with Wu Chen; his laughter was almost a little awkward.

It's actually not so bad. But if someone around 20 years old were to laugh like that and talk to others with such a cheerful and bold attitude, it would feel a bit out of place.

But Gu Rui Bo is not a young man; he is a little older than Ding Zhenlong, already 32 years old, and 6 years older than Li Ruotai.

Although he looks a little younger, not much older than Li Ruotai, he has a mature air about him, so his expression and demeanor are all very natural.

Mr. Wu, why didn't you give me a heads-up before coming to Magic City? I could have had someone pick you up ahead of time, hahaha.

Wow, he looks so young! Such a handsome man!

Haha, so enthusiastic!

Gu Rui Bo exchanged a few pleasantries with Wu Chen. It was only because of Wu Chen that he would have such a reaction; if it were any other young man, he would probably have gotten goosebumps.

Mao Rusong, sitting at his desk, was even more confused. He had only seen Gu Rui Bo come in once, then leave again after answering a phone call.

When he first came in, although he didn't say anything to Wu Chen, his attitude at the beginning was not like it is now.

Old Mao Gu Rui Bo then looked at Mao Rusong, his tone both familiar and somewhat reproachful. "Look at your men calling me again, spouting nonsense. What assassins? What troublemakers? Mr. Wu, can you give it a try?"

My friends told me all of this.

Mao Rusong was stunned.

Mao Rusong paused for a moment before replying, "Huh?"

Is there a misunderstanding?

Hey, hey, hey, Mao Rucong laughed after saying that, and the atmosphere instantly became incredibly harmonious.

Mr. Wu hasn't eaten yet, has he?

When did you arrive?

Or?

Gu Rui Bo glanced at his watch again and said to Wu Chen, "I haven't eaten yet."

Wu Chen said softly, "Let's find a place to eat. I'll treat you to a meal."

Mao, come on, let's do it together.

As he spoke, Gu Rui Bo gestured to Mao Rusong and then asked Mr. Wu. Wu Chen, "Did you often come to Magic City before?"

Whatever dishes you like, I'll arrange them.

Either way is fine, you can arrange it.

Wu Chen smiled naturally as he spoke.

Seeing Wu Chen's attitude, Gu Ruibo felt relieved. No matter how powerful or amazing Wu Chen was, as long as Wu Chen wasn't there to cause trouble, everything would be fine.

Although Gu Rui Bo still didn't know what Wu Chen wanted with Mao Rusong and why he had drawn a gun, Wu Chen's attitude at this moment indicated that they were open to negotiation, and at the very least, Gu Rui Bo was willing to mediate.

Just a few minutes after Gu Rui Bo went back into the office, the office door opened again, and the three of them came out of the office together and went downstairs.

Neither Gu Rui Bo's bodyguards nor Mao Rusong's bodyguards, nor his men, knew what was going on. Seeing the three chatting and laughing, they naturally couldn't do anything special and could only follow along.

As he went downstairs, Gu Rui Bo asked Wu Chen, "Mr. Wu, did you come by car or high-speed rail?"

Wu Chen replied, Gu Rui Bo understood.

Upon arriving at the parking lot, Gu Rui Bo first invited Wu Chen into his car, a custom-made bulletproof Mercedes-Maybach in the back.

After Wu Chen got in, he held onto the car door and refused to get in. Leaning over, he said to Wu Chen, "Mr. Wu, I need to chat with Lao Mao for a bit. We'll talk more when we get there. You're busy."

Wu Chen smiled, and Gu Rui Bo closed the car door and got into Mao Rusong's car.

He definitely wanted to have a detailed private talk with Mao Rusong. Not only did he not hide it from Wu Chen, but he also let Wu Chen know. This was a way of testing Wu Chen's attitude and showing that he was trying to flatter him and treat Wu Chen as a friend.

Soon, the convoy hit the road, followed by Mao Rusong's car, an extended Rolls-Royce Phantom, in Mercedes-Maybach.

Mao Rusong's car was quite high-profile; he was a man who liked to show off.

Inside the Rolls-Royce, in the back seat, was Li Ruotai's brother-in-law, Li Ruobin's current boyfriend.

Mao Rusong seemed to remember something immediately after hearing what Gu Rui Bo said, but his tone was still very off because Gu Rui Bo's attitude was very strange.

Brother Gu, does Wu Chen have any other connections?

Mao Rusong asked in confusion.

"Little Google" is a nickname for Gu Ruibo. Anyone who is his peer or close to him, whether older or younger, calls him that.

The nickname "Magic City Little Google of Shanghai" is quite well-known in Magic City.

Upon hearing Mao Rusong's question, Gu Ruibo remained silent for a moment.

He's very tight-lipped. There are many things Li Ruotai told him, but he can't and won't tell anyone else.

He's really good; even A Tai is a little afraid of him.

Gu Ruibo glanced at him and said, "That's enough, Mao Rusong."

Who exactly is Li Ruotai, whose face changes color so dramatically?

Mao Rusong naturally knew.

Moreover, Li Ruotai is an extremely flamboyant person with a bad temper. Gu Ruibo often has to flatter Li Ruota the number one person in the third generation of the Li Family. However, Li Ruotai is afraid of Wu Chen.

As he pondered, Mao Rusong's mind suddenly became active.

If Wu Chen is really that capable, then for Mao Rusong, he would be someone worth actively befriending, or even someone he could flatter.

Don't bother asking around; he's not someone you can mess with.

Gu Rui Bo glanced at Mao Rusong. "Old Mao, let's talk about you. What happened?"

How did I get involved with him?

Oh no, it wasn't me who caused it.

Mao Rusong first offered a defense of himself, and then began to explain the situation.

I can tell everything, I've told everything, and there's nothing to hide.

Because the most crucial link in this chain, the one behind the Mao Rusong Pit Ding Ruilong incident, was done by Gu Rui Bo.

Gu Rui Bo already knew that.

Gu Ruibo listened, asking a few questions now and then, and was relieved after hearing them.

That's alright.

Gu Rui Bo spoke first, then asked Mao Zedong, "So what do you plan to do?"

Actually, he could advise Mao Rusong to listen to Wu Chen, but he would have to see Mao Rucong's own attitude first.

Mao Rusong was no small figure either; he had powerful connections. Gu Rui Bo couldn't easily order him to do anything; everything was discussed with him. Of course, he pretended to be blind.

After Mao Rusong finished speaking, he laughed at himself.

Twenty minutes later, Peach Garden Private Kitchen, located on Bund Magic City, is one of the top Chinese restaurants in the Magic City.

When the convoy arrived, everyone went upstairs. In the end, only Wu Chen, Gu Ruibo, and Mao Rusong set up Private Dining Room, which had been arranged by phone while the convoy was on the road.

The place is decorated in a very stylish way. The Private Dining Room rooms aren't very big, but the atmosphere and privacy are excellent.

They ordered food and then chatted. The conversation was led by Gu Ruibo. At his age and with his family background, he was naturally very talkative. However, he didn't talk to Wu Chen about Mao Rusong or Ding Ruilong. It was just casual conversation, rambling on about this and that, and he kept mentioning Li Ruotai and Li Ruobing.

He and Li Ruobing knew each other, but their relationship was just ordinary; they didn't keep in touch privately.

The last time we met was two years ago when he went to the East Sea on business and had dinner with Li Ruobing and Li Ruotai.

The meal lasted a long time. Around 1 p. m., the meal was still not finished when Mao Rusong went to the restroom and left the Private Dining Room.

Suddenly, only Wu Chen and Gu Rui Bo remained in the Private Dining Room.

When Mr. Wu heard A Tai say this, Gu Rui Bo suddenly changed the subject, seemed about to say something but paused, and then asked, "Mr. Wu, do you know my older brother?"

Know.

Wu Chen smiled.

Mr. Wu, I'd like to ask you, how do you think I can beat my older brother?

The question Gu Rui Bo asked him contained a great deal of information, and people who didn't know him would have no way of knowing what he was talking about.

Gu Rui Bo, while still alive, was investigating Wu Chen. Li Ruota actually mentioned something about precognition, which was too exaggerated.

Gu Ruibo wouldn't ask Wu Chen what would happen tomorrow without thinking, but his question was incredibly complex and extremely difficult to answer.

This concludes this episode. We hope you'll continue listening!
