Chapter 77: Chapter 77: The Assassin Appears!

"Sir, this is the private room Mr. Leng has reserved," a leading waiter said.

The waiter pushed open the door, and Xiao Zheng and Leng Ruobing walked in.

Leng Haitang and Leng Qingxuan were already seated inside, waiting. Upon seeing the two enter, they quickly stood up.

"Dad, Brother," said Leng Ruobing indifferently, then pointed to Xiao Zheng, "This is my husband, Xiao Zheng."

Upon hearing this title, Xiao Zheng immediately beamed with joy, his smile so bright it made Leng Ruobing clench her teeth in irritation, but she didn’t make a scene in front of her father and brother.

"Ah, please sit, please sit," Leng Haitang said with a chuckle, beckoning them to take their seats before telling the waiter, "Serve the dishes, please!"

The waiter promptly agreed and walked out of the private room to personally notify the kitchen to serve the dishes. Though just a waiter, he knew that to dine here one had to be rich or noble; such guests were the hardest to serve, and the slightest mistake could lead to scolding or worse.

"Come, come, have some tea," Leng Haitang stood and poured a cup of tea for Xiao Zheng.

Xiao Zheng smiled, showing no signs of being flattered or standing up, simply accepting the teacup with one hand from Leng Haitang.

"If our hospitality is lacking today, please forgive us," Leng Haitang said with a humble posture, but he didn’t expose Xiao Zheng’s identity.

Leng Haitang figured, since Xiao Zheng hadn’t revealed his own identity in front of Leng Ruobing, he must not want her to know, so Leng Haitang wouldn’t give it away either.

As for the fact that Xiao Zheng was with his daughter, Leng Haitang had found out through reports from Leng Qingxuan and nearly died laughing.

If Xiao Zheng truly became his son-in-law, who then would dare to contend with the Leng Family in Zhonghai from that day on? This was the former leader of the Tianji Sect!

Even Luo Yusheng of the Luo Sheng Sect was one of his underlings; revealing such an identity could scare someone to death.

Soon, under the supervision of the duty manager, several waiters came in and swiftly served all the dishes.

"Brother-in-law, this dish is the signature here. You must try it," Leng Qingxuan said, getting up and eagerly serving Xiao Zheng, while Leng Haitang also alternated between lighting his cigarette and pouring his tea.

Although there was the connection of Leng Ruobing, they still did not dare to take liberties in front of Xiao Zheng. Nobody knew whether Xiao Zheng would treat the two of them kindly for the sake of Leng Ruobing’s face, but they certainly weren’t going to test it.

Their unusual behavior left Leng Ruobing dumbfounded beside them, unable to understand what had gotten into her father and brother.

Leng Qingxuan’s previous attitude towards Xiao Zheng was not like this!

It is known that both Leng Haitang and Leng Qingxuan were arrogant people, yet why were they being so courteous, even fawning, toward Xiao Zheng now?

Leng Ruobing was very curious. Back at home, Leng Qingxuan’s demeanor when he saw Xiao Zheng wasn’t like this at all; why had it suddenly changed? Could it be that he’d lost his mind?

But even if Leng Qingxuan had gone mad, she didn’t think her father had as well.

Watching Xiao Zheng’s indifferent demeanor, Leng Ruobing suddenly felt a wave of disgust toward him. She didn’t know where this feeling came from, but she simply found it repellant.

It was normal for Leng Ruobing not to know Xiao Zheng’s identity, and Leng Haitang and his son didn’t give it away, but they really couldn’t pretend not to recognize Xiao Zheng. Just thinking of Xiao Zheng’s identity made both of them feel a chill.

The meal was very awkward, at least that’s how Xiao Zheng felt.

At the dining table, he felt like a gang leader, while Leng Haitang and Leng Qingxuan were like his underlings constantly trying to please him, a sentiment he also found distasteful.

But the other party was Leng Ruobing’s father and brother, and even though Xiao Zheng was somewhat impatient, he couldn’t say anything.

Just then, Xiao Zheng suddenly furrowed his brow because he heard some strange noises outside the private room, as if someone was eavesdropping at the door.

"I’m going to the restroom," Xiao Zheng said with a smile, and then he pushed open the door of the private room and walked out.

Seeing the impressive Xiao Zheng, Leng Ruobing then asked with a questioning look, "Dad, what is... what’s going on with you?"

She originally wanted to ask why they were so eager to please and smiling, but felt it might be somewhat improper to say so and chose a more ambiguous question instead.

But her ambiguous questioning gave Leng Haitang and Leng Qingxuan a chance to beat around the bush.

"What’s wrong with us?" Leng Haitang pretended to be confused, and then as if realizing something, smiled and said, "Are you asking why we are so enthusiastic?"

Enthusiastic? I think you’re just sucking up! Leng Ruobing thought.

However, it was certainly not appropriate to say that out loud, so she could only go along with Leng Haitang’s words, "Yeah, you weren’t like this before."

"Ruobing, since he is the man you’ve chosen, as your father, I certainly must support you. I’m different from before, I won’t force you on these matters anymore," Leng Haitang said with a smile.

Leng Qingxuan nodded as well, saying, "Sister, I was wrong before, but now, Dad and I have the same thoughts."

Their words left Leng Ruobing full of doubt, but she didn’t believe that they had genuinely changed their ways. There had to be another motive, although she never directed her suspicions towards Xiao Zheng.

In her view, Xiao Zheng was nothing more than an annoying opportunist who had married her for money.

...

Xiao Zheng had just reached the restroom.

In fact, he wasn’t truly going to use the toilet, but instead, he sensed that something was off outside. Xiao Zheng had clearly felt they were under surveillance before.

His first thought was that the Wolf King was causing trouble again, and, afraid of getting Leng Ruobing and the others involved, he made the excuse of going to the restroom.

The issue with the Wolf King had been troubling him, and he had people investigating the Wolf King’s location. Though they hadn’t found it yet, he estimated that it wouldn’t take much longer to track down his whereabouts.

After roaming around, Xiao Zheng hadn’t spotted any signs of the Wolf King, which made him somewhat doubtful. Could he have been mistaken?

But surely, the absence of the Wolf King was a good thing, otherwise this hotel would be ruined.

Xiao Zheng laughed at himself, thinking he was just being overly nervous, and then he walked into the men’s restroom.

Just as he entered the men’s restroom, dozens of foreigners appeared in the hotel corridor.

These people were dressed in uniform black suits and had stern expressions, clearly not the kind to be trifled with. Many guests steered clear of them, not wanting to stir up any trouble.

Xiao Zheng came out of the bathroom, tucking in his shirt. He was just about to bend down to wash his hands when he suddenly looked up; he had also seen these foreigners.

"Such a strong scent of blood!" Xiao Zheng squinted his eyes towards these men, instantly recognizing that they were all professional killers.

The stench of blood on them was just too strong!

However, the presence of so many professional assassins in the hotel was very unusual!
