Yun Ya chuckled lightly, "Turns out we’re from the same hometown." Clutching Yun Ya’s arm, which was fragrant and soft, Shen Luokui said, "When you go to Capital City, you must come find me. I’ll treat you to a good time." "You’re leaving this afternoon?" "Yeah, the three o’clock flight." At this, Shen Luokui’s face fell, "I really don’t want to leave you." What a coincidence, she was also on the afternoon flight. It must be the same one. "I’m starving, let’s go eat first," Shen Luokui said, rubbing her stomach, looking as famished as could be. "What would you like to eat?" "Anything, I’m not picky, but it has to be spicy." "Like spicy, huh? Then let’s go have Sichuan cuisine," Yun Ya suggested. "Yes, yes, let’s do that." Yun Ya looked at Du Shan, who was driving, "Brother Du, do you know any good Sichuan restaurants in Jiangzhou?" Du Shan nodded, "There is a famous one, but you need to make a reservation in advance, and it might be too late now." Shen Luokui said, "Then forget it, we’ll just find a random place on the street and have some spicy hot pot. Needing a reservation means it’s definitely high-end, and my wallet is looking pretty flat. I can’t afford it." But having Yun Ya eat at a street stall just didn’t feel right. Yun Ya smiled, "No problem, I’ll just make a call and it’ll be settled." After saying that, Yun Ya didn’t know who he called, but he spoke a few words and hung up. He smiled at her, "All set." "But I... I don’t have the money to treat you at such a fancy restaurant..." Shen Luokui said, somewhat embarrassed. Yun Ya smiled and put an arm around her shoulder, "You’ve come from afar. As your host, it’s appropriate for me to treat you to a meal. I’ll cover this one, and when I visit Capital City, then it’ll be your turn to treat me." Shen Luokui smiled back, "Alright, then I’ll wait for you to come visit me in Capital City." The Sichuan restaurant was elaborately decorated, making it clear that dining here wouldn’t be cheap. Amid the thronging crowd of diners, they had barely stepped in when a waiter welcomed them. Yun Ya gave his name, and the staff immediately led them in with great respect. Still not quite believing it as she sat in the luxurious private room, Shen Luokui was handed the menu by Yun Ya, "Order whatever you’d like." Opening it, Shen Luokui’s eyes widened in shock at the prices. It was like robbery. She looked at Yun Ya, "What if I eat you out of house and home?" Yun Ya shook his head with a chuckle, "You’ve forgotten, my dad is the richest man in Jiangzhou. If you manage to eat me into bankruptcy, that would be quite the feat." Oddly, there was no hint of showing off wealth in what Yun Ya said, nor did it make Shen Luokui uncomfortable. Instead, it completely put her at ease. "Alright, then I won’t hold back." She ordered a mix of dishes. The waiter patiently stood aside, jotting down Shen Luokui’s orders and thoughtfully explained the preparation and history of each dish, providing excellent service. After Shen Luokui ordered six dishes, she handed the menu to Yun Ya, "I’m done, what would you like, Yun Ya?" The girl was still trying to save money, choosing the cheapest options. Yun Ya then ordered eight more specialty dishes, calling it complete. Once the waiter left, Shen Luokui furrowed her brows, "Can we even finish all this food? What a waste it would be." "That’s why you have to eat well and remember my kindness. Keep in touch, and when I’m in Capital City, I’ll be waiting for your grand feast." Shen Luokui promptly patted her chest, "No problem." The wait for the dishes felt long. Hesitating, Shen Luokui looked across at Yun Ya and said, "There’s something I don’t know if I should mention." Yun Ya took a sip of water, "Then don’t say it." "But it’s so hard to keep it to myself, I’m about to burst." Shen Luokui let out a sigh, "It’s about Kang Jinse." Yun Ya’s eyes narrowed. Had Kang Jinse really sought out Shen Xudong before? If it was true, she definitely wouldn’t let her get away with it. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel[f]ire.net "What about her?" Yun Ya put down his glass, softly asking. "I witnessed her being kidnapped," Shen Luokui said somberly. Yun Ya eyes sharpened, and he asked without a trace of agitation, "Kidnapped?" "That day, I was about to go back to my hometown with my dad to visit the graves. In the restroom at the station, I saw with my own eyes two women in black kidnap Kang Jinse. One, disguised as a janitor, knocked Kang Jinse out and carried her away in a garbage bin. Those women looked fierce, and I was too scared to make a sound the whole time, afraid they might kidnap me too if discovered. Later I thought about calling the police, but when I remembered what Kang Jinse did to you, I felt she deserved it. But after thinking about it, my conscience wouldn’t let me be, so I decided to tell you. What should I do?"
