Chapter Fifty-Seven: Borrowing a Knife to Kill

  As he watched that gentleman walk past himself, taking steps as precise as a ruler, heading straight into the seafood city, Chu Yan's face became even more charming with a smile.

  "Humanity's destruction?" These four words didn't bring Chu Yan any shock, instead he thought of something else, and it was a good thing.

  With this group of people taking action, it seems that Chu Yan doesn't need to make a big move anymore. Sometimes, secretly adding fuel to the fire or giving a little push from behind can be quite a pleasant thing.

  "Since I've come all the way here, it would be a waste not to eat something and console my stomach." After some deliberation, Chu Yan stepped into the hotel.

  The first floor lobby was filled with all kinds of fresh seafood, and they were all alive. The four guys who came in earlier each picked a huge crab, handed it over to the chef, and then walked upstairs. Chu Yan didn't like eating crabs, but lobsters were okay, so he picked one that weighed about two catties, paid for it, and also went upstairs.

  The second floor here is a large hall of nearly 1,000 square meters, the hall is filled with tables and chairs, at first glance it looks like those seafood restaurants, what's being sold here is taste, the decoration is very ordinary. Chu Yan immediately spotted the four men sitting next to the staircase leading to the third floor, and walked over with a smile on his face.

  "I'm alone, so I'll join you guys, otherwise it's really boring to eat by myself." The four of them were sitting at a six-person table, so when Chu Yan went over, they didn't object. Although they weren't fond of Chu Yan and barely even knew him, he was after all Miss's friend, so they let him sit down anyway. It didn't matter much to them, and for them, it was all the same with Chu Yan sitting there.

  "You two, get moving. If necessary, take the person away secretly and dispose of them." Among the four people, the brother sitting opposite Chu Yan was the leader, his words carrying a chilling coldness that sent shivers down one's spine.

  Two people got up and left, leaving only three people including Chu Yan at the table. There was no conversation, and Chu Yan didn't bother to pay attention to the two stone-like expressions. He took out his phone, put on his earphones, and slightly swayed his body as he listened to music.

  ……………

  Third floor, suite number seven.

  Everyone has arrived, and Fan Xianghuan, as today's "birthday star", looked at the cake on the table with a sentimental expression, stood up, holding a cup of white wine in her hand.

  "Everyone, colleagues and friends, thank you for coming to my birthday party. Today, you can eat with peace of mind and drink boldly, as my husband is here, what else do you have to worry about? I suggest you go ahead and order the most expensive dishes, my husband has plenty of money and won't mind these small expenses." Fang Xianghuan said, turning her head to toss a spring cabbage at Wu Feng, then raised her wine glass "I know some of you still hold grudges against me, and I also know that in the past, I didn't do enough good deeds. So, this cup of wine is my apology for my past actions."

  After finishing speaking, Fan Xianghuan tilted her head and drank the cup of white wine that was at least a catty or two in one gulp. In the end, she even turned the wine cup upside down to show that not a single drop of wine was left.

  "Classmate Fan Xianghuan, today is your birthday, how can you drink alone? We'll all keep you company and drink together! Come on, let's wish Fan Xianghuan a happy birthday!"

  Fan Xianghuan put down her wine glass and gave a sly glance at the boy sitting across from her. The boy was completely captivated by her gaze and didn't even think about why Fan Xianghuan's boyfriend hadn't given her any gifts on her birthday, instead he picked up his wine glass and said with a sense of righteousness...

  "Alright! Xiang Huang, happy birthday!"

  "Happy Birthday!"

  As everyone raised their wine glasses, Wang Miao and Jiang Xiao Ran also had to raise their glasses, only theirs were not filled with wine, but drinks. Fan Xiang Huang did not express any opposition to this, after all, it was already a rare thing that Jiang Xiao Ran could come here, now that the person was here, what happened next depended on how Wu Feng arranged things.

  After finishing, put down the cup, Wu Feng, who had been sitting next to Fan Xianghuan all along, finally stood up on his own initiative, picked up a glass of wine, and smiled at each person's face for a moment, of course, staying longer on Jiang Xiaoran's face than anyone else. This kid has always been pretending to be deep, with a faint smile that lasted for half a day, his face was a bit stiff.

  "Everyone, I'm Wu Feng, Xiang Huan's boyfriend. Here, I want to thank you all for coming today. As Xiang Huan said, you can feel free to look for the things you like to eat, no matter how expensive they are, it's nothing to me. And since today is Xiang Huan's birthday, I must be even more generous, right?" Wu Feng said with a charming smile as he reached out and wrapped his arm around Fan Xiang Huan's waist.

  Fan Xianghuan felt Wu Feng's anger, although Wu Feng was very rich, but if he really let these people eat, this was seafood, some things were expensive beyond measure, even for him, it would be a bit painful. However, Wu Feng didn't care about these things, what he cared about was Fan Xianghuan's insatiable greed, he had already promised to give her 100,000, but now the person hadn't been obtained yet, and she had given him another set of demands, which he couldn't refuse. This was a classic example of a clever scheme.

  "Husband, I knew you were the best to others." Fan Xianghuan was a woman with some tricks up her sleeve, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to stick by Wu Feng's side all this time. This time, Wu Feng's request was too overboard, actually flirting with another girl in front of her and even asking her to help out personally. Even if she didn't care about dignity or reputation, being cuckolded by her husband right in front of her and having to lend a hand to help him cheat was just absurd no matter how she thought about it.

  This couple's subtle maneuvering was imperceptible to others, who only saw Wu Feng's doting on Fan Xianghuan and her dependence on him. The affectionate way they interacted made some of the men feel a twinge of jealousy, but they still gazed at Fan Xianghuan with warmth; this little woman had remarkable abilities in certain aspects.

  ………..

  Second floor, in front of Chu Yan, the lobster had already been served, looking at it, although its appearance was still intact, but the shrimp meat and other parts had already been separated. As for Chu Yan himself, he didn't particularly like eating this thing, there was no special reason, he wasn't born to like seafood, so he wasn't very good at eating this either. In the past, when he ate this thing, it was always grilled over an open flame until it was cooked, now, the lobster in front of him had a full color, fragrance and flavor, but he didn't know what difference there was between eating it and the roasted lobster in his hand.

  Looking at the lobster meat that had been separated, Chu Yan's face suddenly revealed a mysterious smile. The two people sitting opposite him didn't pay attention at first, but Chu Yan's face kept revealing a strange and wonderful smile from time to time, which made these two think that this kid seemed to have some mental problems, otherwise why would he keep smiling foolishly?

  "What are you looking at me like that for?" Chu Yan naturally knew that his change in expression had successfully caught the attention of these two gentlemen, and he stopped his actions, smiling as he looked at them.

  "There's nothing, I just think you're a bit neurotic, one minute smiling foolishly and the next frowning." The first one had some sense of humor, although he spoke directly, but at least he had a voluntary conversation with Chu Yan, which was exactly what Chu Yan needed.

  "Oh, I see. No big deal, I understand why you look at me like that. If you put on this headphone, I reckon you'll become a nervous wreck in no time." Chu Yan smiled and took out an earphone from his ear, placing it on the table between them, before continuing to devour his food with gusto.

  Looking at the wireless earphone on the table, Hei Yī Rén Xiōng pondered for a moment, then continued to eat his crab with gusto. Meanwhile, Chǔ Yán across from him alternated between smiling foolishly and furrowing her brow. In the end, this brother was captivated by Chǔ Yán's expressions.

  Curiosity kills the cat, I don't know where this saying comes from, but curiosity is indeed something that can bring surprises or shocks to people. This gentleman stuffed his earphones into his ears, and he, who was originally expressionless, suddenly became full of doubt, followed by tension, and then occasionally flashed a cold smile, or furrowed his brow in the same manner as Chu Yan.

  On one side, Brother Ren looked a bit dazed, how did his big brother become like this after putting on headphones?

  "Big brother, what are you doing? Why is your facial expression so rich?" The response to the inquiry was a cold laugh from this big brother. "Second brother, go tell third and fourth brothers to be ready for me at all times, if there's anything I'll notify them immediately."

  "Yes, big brother." Although Lao Er didn't understand why his own Lao Da had become like that, Lao Da's words were orders, and he wouldn't hesitate to carry them out.

  On the table, only Chu Yan and this black-clothed old man were left. The two men looked at each other and smiled, as if they had met too late. "Ling male, brother, which unit are you from?"

  Chu Yan smiled and shook his head, "The past is not worth recalling, it's better not to mention it. However, I did come from the troops, this thing may be ordinary goods, but at critical moments, it's still quite useful. Now, do you believe that I am a friend of your miss?"

  Two hands clasped together, as soldiers naturally have a sense of belonging and pride that belongs to the military.

  "I believe you, sorry for doubting you earlier." Ling smiled and let go of his hand. Chu Yan was becoming more and more interesting to him - first, it was the smile amidst the hostility released in front of his four brothers, and then it was handing over the earpiece of the eavesdropping device that was monitoring Miss. Whatever the case, this friend was worth befriending.

  "No big deal, it's also your responsibility. By the way, I'll give this to you now. With you guys here, I can finally retire. However, there's one thing I still need to say - we can't just kill people at will, this isn't a battlefield anymore, after all, we're in a society ruled by law now. What do you think?" Chu Yan said, putting a piece of white lobster meat into his mouth with his dinner fork.

  "It makes sense..." Ling Nan nodded, the smile on his face growing even colder...
