Chapter 1153: Chapter 1153: It’s Not Easy Being a Good Man

Eastern International Hotel, in the high-floor restaurant.

Originally, only VIP customers could enjoy this place, but at the moment, only two people were seated inside.

Liuu Ruyan had played until the afternoon, feeling dizzy as she was brought here by Long Fei.

In the vast restaurant, with hundreds of tables and chairs, it was just the two of them.

The chefs were busy in the back, meticulously preparing and serving dish after dish reserved for honored guests.

French escargot, Australian crayfish, Kobe beef, Caspian Sea caviar—all were top-notch ingredients from around the world.

These kinds of delicacies would usually start at tens of thousands.

Liuu Ruyan, let alone eating them, wouldn’t dare even inquire about the price.

Today, she had changed into a sleeveless black dress provided by the hotel, sitting here with knife and fork in hand, her legs involuntarily trembling.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the beautiful Pu River swept into view.

In such a place, enjoying delicious food quietly with the man she liked was probably a dream for most women in the world.

Others measured their caviar by the gram, but they ate it by the can.

Worried that Liuu Ruyan wouldn’t have enough, Long Fei ordered two cans each for them.

Liuu Ruyan took a taste; it was fishy yet delicious, not as special as the legends claimed, and she couldn’t understand why it was sold at such a high price.

After one taste, she didn’t want more and took a sip of red wine, then gave the rest to Long Fei.

Long Fei asked her, "Not eating anymore?"

"I’m not used to the flavor; I think it’s not as tasty as my mom’s homemade bean paste," Liuu Ruyan murmured with a nod.

Long Fei laughed out loud, "Indeed, it’s not tasty, but it’s used by people to show off."

He passed the Australian crayfish to Liuu Ruyan and asked the waiting waiter to bring another steak and a fruit salad.

The mix-and-match meals made the waiters frown.

If it were anyone else, the waiters would have scorned them inwardly as bumpkins.

But as it concerned their livelihood, they wouldn’t even dare to think such thoughts in front of Long Fei.

Instead, they would inwardly praise, "The boss is the boss after all, dining in a way different from ordinary people. No wonder he’s so young and already has such a status."

Liuu Ruyan had never eaten high-class crayfish like this and took out her phone to look up a tutorial.

Curiously, she asked Long Fei, "Are we just going to eat and drink today without investigating the case?"

"No rush!"

Long Fei shook his head with a light smile; in fact, he had already confirmed the location of the He Shi Jade.

He had left his mark on it, and just now, while using his spiritual power to envelop Shanghai City from the rooftop, had located its hiding place.

He wanted to know who was so bold to mess with his things.

He had to give these cats and dogs some time to stick their heads out so he could catch them all in one net.

He already had a target in mind, though it was not yet confirmed.

Taking advantage of the moment, he thought it best to enjoy a few days of life, just waiting for the target to reveal themselves.

Liuu Ruyan, with her head down, ate absent-mindedly, then suddenly blurted out, "Brother Long, why... why are you so nice to me?"

In just one day, Liuu Ruyan believed that any woman would fall in love with this man unconditionally.

He was truly outstanding, like a towering mountain providing a profound sense of safety—it was impossible not to be enamored by him.

Long Fei, drinking wine, responded with a faint smile, "You’re my sister; shouldn’t I be good to you?"

His eyes were pure, without any pretense or affectation.

Liuu Ruyan felt a sense of loss but quickly came to terms.

They had agreed last time, from now on, they would interact as siblings.

Long Fei hadn’t changed; it was her heart that was in turmoil.

Wiping the corner of her eye with her hand, she smiled and said, "Right, you’re my big brother! Being nice to me is what you should do."

She raised her wine glass, clinking it with Long Fei’s.

The meal was a blur, and by the end, she was so dizzy she couldn’t even stand up. It was somewhat embarrassing that Long Fei had to carry her back to her room.

On Long Fei’s back, she murmured, "Brother, I don’t want to be your sister. It would be so good if you didn’t have a wife."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Long Fei’s face darkened. How could she curse him to be a bachelor?

Liuu Ruyan’s eyes reddened, and she couldn’t control herself as she said, "I’m serious. If you didn’t have a wife, I would marry you. No matter what happens to you, I’ll be by your side. Through thick and thin, till death do us part."

Long Fei opened the door and entered the bedroom to put her on the bed.

She wouldn’t let go, clinging to Long Fei and insisting on lying down in the bed with him, bringing her rosy lips to his for a kiss.

Long Fei quickly let go of her hands. He couldn’t make such a fundamental mistake.

He indeed treated Liuu Ruyan as his sister, and his feelings had never changed.

Liuu Ruyan, feeling upset, took advantage of her drunkenness to create a scene with Long Fei.

Long Fei extended a hand to her forehead and gave a gentle push, making her head heavy, and she immediately obediently fell asleep.

He went outside, brewed some Enlightenment Tea Leaves, took a sip, and calmed the restlessness in his heart.

Damn, it’s not easy being a good man.

Inside the room, a faint buzzing sound caught Long Fei’s attention.

He reached out and caught something small.

Upon opening his fingers, a delicately crafted object resembling a moth, made of copper and iron, was revealed.

Moreover, it was equipped with a listening device.

"Courting death!"

Long Fei’s brow furrowed and he crushed the device in his hand.

In the HR Manager’s office downstairs, Zhang Jikai’s ear suddenly ached, and he quickly took off his headphones.

His father, Nangong Zheng, sipping tea, asked, "Did you hear anything?"

Zhang Jikai replied, "Just at the critical moment! A woman seducing someone, and then the sound suddenly cut out."

"What?"

Nangong Zheng raised his eyebrow and went to check the control device.

This was a high-end listening device specially developed for a certain country by the Nangong Family, capable of wireless flight for half an hour.

On the device, the signal was indeed gone.

He had planned to record something and then expose it to humiliate Director Long.

While the father and son were fiddling with the machine, the window suddenly opened, and a strong gust of wind swept in from outside, shaking everything in the room.

Zhang Jikai went to close the window, but as soon as he approached it, the wind swept him into the air.

He grabbed the windowsill and screamed in panic to his father inside, "Dad, save me!"

Nangong Zheng was stunned, rushing to the window to pull his son back.

As soon as he grabbed Zhang Jikai, the wind swept them both out of the window.

A series of screams were heard as they both tumbled out the window.

Bang bang, two muffled sounds in the flower bed below startled the nearby security guards.

The HR department was on the second floor of the hotel, not very high but still about ten meters or so.

Nangong Zheng, landing on top of his son, miraculously survived, but with shattered arms and legs, he lay on the ground screaming in agony.

His son, Zhang Jikai, was spitting blood with his eyes rolled back, clearly in a bad state.

Ambulances and police cars quickly arrived, taking both to the emergency room at the hospital.

After an investigation, it was determined that no one else had entered their room before the incident.

It was confirmed that they had accidentally fallen out of the window while messing with a remote-controlled machine.

As dusk approached, Zhang Jikai’s mother arrived at the hospital.

She had a bad feeling and rushed all the way there.

Unexpectedly, she did not get to see her son one last time and collapsed, paralyzed in the hospital.

Nangong Zheng, like a madman, shouted throughout the hospital, "There are ghosts, ghosts!"
