One person: I wanted to give up, but my abilities wouldn't allow it.

They also received a lot of praise from their superiors.

Not only did Lin Chen's bonus increase, but his also doubled.

Just as Xu Si closed his eyes and hummed a song.

Then I heard the group message notification sound.

He opened his phone, saw Lin Chen's message, and the cigarette in his mouth fell to the ground with a thud.

How can it be?

I've been investigating the Wang family massacre case, but I haven't found anything.

This kid has been busy recruiting temporary workers and dealing with the Biyou Village incident, how could he possibly have time to investigate the Wang family massacre case?

Is he just bragging?

The idea was rejected by Xu Si as soon as it came to mind.

Who would dare to boast to the Old Master?

That's the old Celestial Master!

Xu Si shook his head: "This little guy is something else!"

I wonder who this capable and righteous man was who wiped out the entire Wang family and performed such a heroic act.

Lu Jin was an impatient person, and after the initial shock, she hurriedly asked.

[Lu Jin: We've made progress. Do you know who it is?]

The old master and Xu Si also stared nervously at their phone screens, waiting for Lin Chen's reply.

[Lin Chen: I don't know who it is, but I've already contacted him, and he assured me that he won't do anything similar again in the near future. When I get back, I'll meet with him and make him give everyone an explanation.]

Xu Si felt something was off when he saw Lin Chen's reply.

You don't even know who he is, how did you get in touch with him?

If I can meet with him in person after I get back, doesn't that mean that person is in the city where I am now?

"hiss!"

Xu Si couldn't help but gasp.

It's in the same city as me, and I've been searching for so long, but I still can't find it.

It seems that my title as the head of the North China region for Nadutong is somewhat undeserved.

The Old Celestial Master and Lu Jin basically shared the same thoughts as Xu Si.

Before they could reply, Lin Chen immediately sent another message.

Lin Chen: I have to go now, I'm very busy. We'll talk about it in detail when I get back.

What could be more important than discussing what to eat tonight?

Xiao Zizai wants to eat Northeastern cuisine, Qiu'er wants to eat Hunan cuisine, Zhang Chulan wants to eat barbecue, and Hei Guan'er wants to eat hot pot.

Feng Baobao wanted to eat everything.

Chen Duo is fine with eating anything.

As for the others, they are not important.

Lin Chen eventually led everyone to a restaurant called Xiangmanlou.

After entering the private room, he sent a location to Gao Erzhuang.

Gao Erzhuang: I never said I was going to have dinner with you guys tonight.

Lin Chen: Oh, then you'd better not come!

Gao Erzhuang: "...Fine, I'm not capable!"

"I'm so happy and excited just thinking about meeting you all!"

"My heart can't take it anymore!"

Lin Chen: "No way! I control half of your body. The burden on your heart is too great. I'm afraid I won't be able to control you and you'll die!"

Gao Erzhuang: "But what if I can't control myself?"

"Can you imagine a person wandering outside in a soul form for ten or twenty years?"

"What does it feel like to not be able to appear in front of others in your true self?"

Lin Chen: "I'm sorry, I can't!"

"Without your experience, no one else could possibly understand!"

"But I understand!"

"Please take care of yourself. Don't let yourself get so excited that you die after just one day of fun."

"Then I'll make your father hunt me down all over the world!"

Gao Erzhuang: "I'll try my best, but I'm really excited!"

"What do you think Xiao Ge and the others' expressions will be when they see me?"

Lin Chen: "I'm probably just as excited as you are!"

Gao Erzhuang: "No, they couldn't possibly be as excited as I am."

Lin Chen: "Anyway, I'm very happy!"

Gao Erzhuang: "Nice to meet you all, should I bring you some gifts?"

Lin Chen: "The more the better. Didn't I send you a storage ring? Fill it up as much as you want (okay), the more the better."

Gao Erzhuang: "...So, you gave me this storage ring just so I could easily bring you gifts?"

Lin Chen: "That's not what I meant. If you think that way, that's fine too!"

Gao Erzhuang: "Waaah... Boss, your image in my mind has changed. You've become so cunning!"

Lin Chen: "Isn't being cunning a good thing?"

Gao Erzhuang: "It's alright!"

Lin Chen: "How long will it take to get there?"

Gao Erzhuang: "Half an hour!"

Lin Chen: "OK! I'll be waiting for you!"

Gao Erzhuang: "I can't take it anymore, I'm getting nervous again, my heart is beating so fast!"

Lin Chen: "I can feel it. You've put a lot of pressure on me. Please stay calm!"

Gao Erzhuang: "Sorry, I'll try my best to round it!"

Chen Duo blinked her emerald green eyes.

"Boss, who are you chatting with?"

Lin Chen thought for a moment: "A very pretty young lady, you'll meet her soon!"

Another young lady? And a pretty one at that?

Zhang Chulan's eyes turned red with jealousy.

Qiu'er and the others looked at Lin Chen with ambiguous expressions.

Boss, you're quite the ladies' man!

Chapter 153 First Encounter with Second-Year High School Students, Unexpectedly Receives Cold Reception

In the box.

After ordering, the group discussed the food with great interest.

Lin Chen checked the time; it had been almost half an hour. Why hadn't Gao Erzhuang arrived yet?

Could this girl have backed out halfway through and is too scared to come?

Because he wanted to surprise everyone, he didn't tell anyone beforehand.

As one exquisite dish after another was served, Feng Baobao's mouth watered.

She looked around and saw that no one was making a move.

He picked up his chopsticks and quickly reached for a plate of spicy chicken.

The moment the chopsticks touched the plate, Lin Chen slapped the back of the hand with his chopsticks.

"Awoo!"

Feng Baobao let out a scream and quickly withdrew her hand.

She looked at Lin Chen with a pair of pitiful, puppy-like eyes.

"Everyone's not here yet, we'll eat later!"

Upon hearing the noise, everyone turned to look at the two of them.

Zhang Chulan: "No way, Brother Chen, there really are beauties here?"

Lin Chen nodded: "They should be here soon!"

Zhang Chulan looked expectantly at the doorway.

"Is she pretty? Is she beautiful? Can you introduce me to her?"

Lin Chen gave Zhang Chulan a strange look.

This guy really hasn't changed his ways.

"Of course you can!"

"Great!"

Zhang Chulan felt he had a chance and became excited.

I started tidying up my clothes and hair.

Apart from Zhang Chulan and Qiu'er, the others weren't very interested in beautiful women.

In their eyes, a beautiful woman is not as good as a partner.

Moreover, Black Pipe felt that occasions like today's were unusual.

It wasn't really appropriate for Lin Chen to invite people they didn't know.

After all, this gathering was their team's first real get-together.

It can also be considered a celebration banquet on June 623.

In this situation, it would be best to only have their teammates who fight side by side.

They felt awkward when other people came.

And the person who comes will also feel awkward.

It would have been better not to come at all.

But it was the boss's decision, and they were too embarrassed to object.

Old Meng's eyes, behind his glasses, gleamed with an unusual light.

He looked at Lin Chen with some confusion.

In his eyes, his boss was an extremely sensible person.

They wouldn't casually invite someone to this kind of event.

Clearly, Lao Meng, who is not good at socializing, also felt uncomfortable that Lin Chen had invited someone they didn't know at all.

Qiu'er picked up the cup and took a sip of tea:

"Today should be considered our team's victory celebration, right? Everyone's here, except for Erzhuang, which is a bit of a shame!"

"Boss, shall we take a picture and send it to Er Zhuang later?"

The others all showed expressions of agreement.

Lin Chen, however, deviated from his usual behavior and waved his hand.
