Chapter 197 The Strange Old Man?
chapter 197
The fact that the deputy commander died despite all efforts to save him meant that Meng Youcheng's assassination mission was a complete success.
Neither the sniper nor the waitress who poisoned the weapon were found. According to the bodyguard, the sniper fled immediately after firing the shot; no one could outrun him. As for the waitress who poisoned the weapon, her whereabouts were even more mysterious; a search of the entire party yielded no results.
The poison the waiter administered was a slow-acting poison; it would spread rapidly as soon as the person got angry…
According to the bodyguard, the other party seemed to know the deputy commander very well. The deputy commander had always been resentful about being "castrated." According to people at the time, a sniper broke the peace first, and then the deputy commander was captured by his subordinates in the chaos. What happened in between is unknown. All that is known is that when he was rescued, he was already on the verge of death and was no longer a complete man.
After this incident, the deputy commander developed a heightened sensitivity to gunshots, became somewhat mentally unstable, and would involuntarily recall what happened that day...
So, in a fit of anger, the toxins took effect and spread rapidly, and he died before even reaching the hospital.
This matter alarmed the Commander-in-Chief. According to Song Qu, the Commander-in-Chief will come here next month to personally investigate the matter and seek justice for his only brother.
Everyone present received their due punishment, except for Song Qu. The Jin brothers trusted Song Qu completely; they had heard from others that Mr. Song had even saved their lives before…
The commander-in-chief did not punish him.
Naturally, Meng Youcheng also escaped punishment.
There were over a hundred people at the party, including seventy or eighty waiters, all of whom were promptly imprisoned. As for the prominent families, they were either demoted, imprisoned as well, or had to pay fees...
The commander-in-chief also knew that they were not the masterminds behind the incident, but the fact that his only brother was dead was undeniable. Everyone present had to be punished, and some of the lowest-ranking people even had to pay with their lives to be buried with his brother!
Meng Youcheng had no interest in caring about these things.
Next month, the Commander-in-Chief will come here. That will be my final assassination mission. Once I complete the mission, I will return to my original world.
Before that, there was one very important thing he hadn't finished, and that was...
A gentle breeze blows as we meet.
This guy must be desperate to see me, he actually arranged to meet at a coffee shop in the east, a place with lots of people coming and going. Isn't he afraid of being exposed?
We finally managed to rescue him...?
Ugh……
Meng Youcheng stood in front of the mirror, wearing a long suit, and sighed heavily. This suit was bought for him by Feng Jingsheng a long time ago, but he had never worn it. Now that he thought about it, he decided to wear it at least once.
Song Qu is currently extremely busy and has no time for herself, so this is a good opportunity...
But... what should we do when we meet?
Or should I say... what can this big idiot do?
He probably... or... forced himself again, right?
Forehead……?
Meng Youcheng immediately buttoned up the buttons in front of him.
To be honest, I'm a little scared, because the cafes in the East are always packed with people, and given Feng Jingsheng's personality, when they reunite after so long, the boy will definitely not be able to control himself. What if he forcibly kisses me in this crowd?
It's not that I'm afraid he'll kiss me, it's just that there are too many people around. What if someone has eyes and ears and spreads this around? Then everything will be over.
and……
Why am I so excited?
Meng Youcheng tried to calm his breathing several times, but it didn't help.
It must be because she was excited to see him safe and sound after a long separation, it certainly couldn't be that... she had really fallen for him?
After calming himself down, Meng Youcheng pushed open the door and left.
……
He arrived at the coffee shop at 9:20 a.m. Strangely, at this time of day, there were hardly any people there, only a few people who hurriedly ordered a coffee and left.
How could this happen?
Could it be... that this was arranged on purpose?
Meng Youcheng glanced around. A young man walked past him, and the girl stopped, looking at him. "You're not here to buy coffee, are you?"
Meng Youcheng was taken aback. "I've always drunk coffee from here. Did something... happen here?"
The girl pointed to the road ahead, "Ten steps ahead, turn left, there's a new coffee shop there, everything's half price, and the taste is almost the same as here, everyone's buying there, you should go there too, I just came out of there, the taste is really good..."
"Oh... thank you."
The girl waved her hand, "I'm leaving, I have to go to class. Hurry up and go before there aren't any left."
"Um……"
Even after the girl had completely disappeared from sight, Meng Youcheng remained standing in the same spot, unmoved. He wasn't there to drink coffee.
To be fair, this tactic is indeed clever. But then again, who will speak up for the owner of this coffee shop? One morning, the once-booming coffee shop suddenly became deserted, its customers snatched away by the shop next door…
Meng Youcheng walked into the coffee shop, where, besides the waiter, there was also an old man with white hair...
Meng Youcheng approached the counter. "The usual."
Then I found a place to sit down.
Why isn't he coming over yet?
The waiter placed the coffee in front of him. Meng Youcheng stirred it a few times but didn't rush to drink it. He stamped his foot impatiently, stirring the coffee incessantly, his eyes glazed over as he looked around...
That shouldn't be the case... Didn't Song Qing say he would come today?
She... was she lying to me?
"Young man...who are you waiting for here?"
Just then, the old man in front of him suddenly turned around and looked at him. "Why are you stomping your feet? Are you in a hurry?"
Meng Youcheng glanced at him, pondered for a moment, stopped stomping his feet, took a sip of coffee, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, Grandpa, I... have a habit of stomping my feet, and I haven't been able to break the habit yet..."
Grandpa suddenly stood up and came to his side. "Is it alright if I sit here?"
Meng Youcheng was momentarily flustered and confused, but he couldn't refuse. The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he didn't say them...
"Don't worry, I'll leave once your friend arrives."
The old man sat down next to him quite naturally...
Meng Youcheng awkwardly clasped his hands, clearly feeling unwell, but he didn't show it.
"Who are you waiting for? Is it someone very important to you?"
The old man once again posed a profound question.
Meng Youcheng immediately sensed something was amiss; the other party's identity was definitely not simple, perhaps a spy deliberately trying to trick him into revealing information...
"No, we're not even ordinary friends."
Grandpa paused for a second, then smiled. "Really? I thought it was some very important friend when you were in such a hurry. Looks like I was overthinking it. Young man... you don't find me annoying, do you?"
As he spoke, he placed one hand on Meng Youcheng's leg. "I'm getting old, and I'm gradually falling behind the times. I'm always afraid of being abandoned by this world, so I like talking to you young people to bridge the gap..."
Okay... if that sounds familiar?
No way, so this is your real purpose? Try touching me again and see what happens! Damn it... at your age, you're still so restless!
Meng Youcheng pushed his hand away, smiled wryly, and said, "Uncle... I'm not young anymore, and I'm long out of touch with this era. I think you should find someone younger, not me."
"Ha ha……"
The old man chuckled, his hand then wandering over to her again. "I think you're quite nice, so handsome, and I feel very comfortable chatting with you..."
Meng Youcheng pushed his hand away again, unable to bear it any longer, and said, "Grandpa... please speak properly. Your hand keeps coming up here, it makes me very uncomfortable. You should... stop taking advantage of your age. It hurts when I hit you."
"So how would you hit me?"
The old man looked at him, smiled, and asked, "Should I spank you? I'm too old to take a spanking, but if someone as handsome as you spanks me, I'd be happy to..."
you……?!
Not my buddy... you?
The old man thought for a moment, then smiled and asked, "Young man, do you have a boyfriend? Is he handsome? Someone as handsome as you must have a very handsome boyfriend, right? Does he have eight-pack abs? Is he very tall? Does he speak very, very gently?"
Are you crazy?
Meng Youcheng looked somewhat disgusted. "No... I'm a straight man... how could I...?"
Before he could finish speaking, the old man's smile froze, he closed his eyes, and interrupted him, "What do you mean?"
This sentence... the voice was no longer old, but rather very young, and there was a sense of déjà vu.
Meng Youcheng was completely dumbfounded...
The old man looked annoyed. "Still claiming to be straight? How many times have you fucking slept with me? Am I not even your boyfriend yet? You seem so proper on the surface, but aren't you playing around a bit behind the scenes?"
Meng Youcheng immediately understood who he was. "Ah... Sheng?"
Feng Jingsheng's expression remained grim. "I'm so tall, so handsome, with eight-pack abs, and I've been chasing after you every day, haven't I melted your heart yet? You were all right there in there, and now that you're out, you're with me. I fucking asked you, and you still claim to be straight?"
Meng Youcheng didn't listen carefully to what he said, but just smiled and said, "I really didn't know it was you. If I had known..."
Feng Jingsheng looked at him, "Baby, I'm giving you two choices. I've booked a hotel nearby. Either... I'll go there to punish you, or you can stay here. What do you want to choose?"
Meng Youcheng was taken aback. "How... will I be punished?"
What do you think?
