Yang Chen felt rather helpless when he saw Jane's sudden change in expression, but he didn't know how to comfort her. Forcing a smile, he said, "Why are you like this? It's not illegal for me to get married. Men and women should get married when they're of age. That's what the Chinese say."
Jane lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes before looking up and saying, "Yes, I should congratulate you. Our Queen of the Underworld, Lady Persephone, should be a very beautiful woman …"
"Very beautiful, but she doesn't know that she has such a strange title. I also hope that she will never know in this life," Yang Cheng said.
Jane bit her lip. "This means that you really love her."
"Rather than love, it's a kind of responsibility between husband and wife. I don't want some dirty things to cover her pure soul with dust."
"It seems that you really enjoy your life now," Jane said with some regret. Jane said with some regret, "I think everyone will be very disappointed. Many of them are looking forward to the day you return."
Yang Cheng shook his head. "I never said that I would leave everyone. It's just that I need a relatively relaxed environment now. You are the one who understands my situation the best. You should understand."
Jane asked worriedly, "Is the illness still acting up?"
"Sometimes it's difficult to control, but as long as I don't overuse my extraordinary strength, it's still very healthy."
"I'm sorry … I've always said that I would help you get rid of this shackle, but …"
"You've worked very hard. I don't think anyone in this world can help me suppress the illness to this extent except for you." Yang Cheng smiled comfortingly. "By the way, how did you have time to come to Hong Kong? Catherine can't do without you."
"Humph." At the mention of Catherine, a playful expression appeared on Jane's face again. "That old woman just wants to slack off and leaves everything to me to deal with. I gave her a lesson this time. I dumped all my business and planned to go on a trip around the world. I came to Hong Kong because one of my students, Little Li, is here. He has been inviting me to see his new results, so I just happened to have time. "
"So that's how it is …" Yang Cheng said thoughtfully.
Jane giggled, and her body, which was wrapped in a tight cheongsam, trembled charmingly. "Our beloved king, do you think that we would have the guts to look for you when you explicitly ordered us not to look for your specific whereabouts? I believe that even if many people knew that they had bumped into you by chance, they would still escape as soon as possible before you realized it to avoid your suspicions. "
Yang Cheng looked slightly embarrassed. "Don't think that way. I'm not that scary. Actually, I'm still very happy to see you."
"Really?" Jane asked in surprise, "Then can I go to Zhonghai to find you next time? I also have a student, Green, who is in Zhonghai. Hmm … Oh right, he is working on the same project as Li Zi. "
Yang Cheng remembered the business at hand. "I'm currently working for Yu Lei International. In other words, it's best if Li Guangxun's research results can be put to good use. Green is currently working for another competitor, and you are their teacher. Can you help me mediate between them? I might as well let them all work for me, so that I won't have to poach them again next time. "
Jane tapped her chin and thought for a moment before saying, "If you order me as the king, I can ask Green and Lee to work together. Most of their achievements today were given by me, so I can definitely do that. But … if this is a request for help, then I can't do it. Because in this industry, it's very shameful for an expert to betray his employer. Unless Green is willing, otherwise, as his teacher, I will be doing something that will let him down. "
Yang Cheng nodded in agreement. "What you said makes sense. Then let's do it this way. At most, you can give Li Guangxun a little more guidance and let him develop faster. Then it won't be a big problem."
"Actually, there are other ways," Jane said easily. Jane said casually, "If you want to develop new environmentally friendly materials, I can provide a lot of ready-made undisclosed technologies. Those technologies will be enough to help your company become one of the world's leading companies."
Yang Cheng knew that this young woman was not lying. She had been given the title of "Genius Girl" since she was young. All these years, she had been a low-key woman who walked the world's most cutting-edge scientific research in various industries. Only she was too lazy to research. Whatever she researched, it was often a huge breakthrough. And many of these results would be thrown aside or destroyed by her. In her words, she didn't want the world to progress too fast, which would lead to the widening of the social class gap caused by technology.
The two talked for a while. Jane suddenly thought of something and asked, "Yang Cheng, how long will you be staying in Hong Kong?"
"About three days."
"Three days …" Jane thought for a while. "Three days it is. I want to make something for you. Maybe it will help you."
Yang Cheng didn't know what Jane would make, but he didn't ask since Jane didn't say.
The two talked for more than half an hour. When they returned to the main entrance of the research institute, Li Muhua, Li Guangxun, Mo Qianni, and others were already waiting.
Mo Qianni saw Yang Cheng and Jane talking and laughing all the way. She felt more and more uncomfortable, but she still smiled at Jane out of courtesy.
Jane had also noticed Mo Qianni standing next to Yang Cheng. From her western point of view, Mo Qianni's beauty was not very outstanding. It was mainly because Jane had seen too many beautiful women on a daily basis. In contrast, the graceful and intellectual side of Mo Qianni was more worthy of her attention.
Jane, who had extraordinary insight, noticed the jealousy in Mo Qianni's eyes. She immediately understood something and smiled at Yang Cheng.
"Teacher, you're finally here. Let's go to the restaurant." Li Guangxun smiled happily and invited Jane to get in the car.
Jane frowned slightly. "Little Li, since you are developing an important project, leave the research institute after the research is finished. I will come back to check your research results after dinner."
Li Guangxun made an "ah" sound, but when he heard that Jane would check his research results again, he immediately became energetic. The frustration of not being able to have dinner with the teacher he admired was gone, and he ran back to the research institute happily.
Li Muhua kindly suggested, "Miss Jane, in fact, Fourth Uncle has been very hard for the past few months. It's good to go out and relax occasionally."
"Sorry, I never listen to other people's opinions in terms of academics and education." Jane said politely and took the initiative to sit in the car.
Li Muhua was speechless. Although she was angry, she knew that this was definitely not someone she could provoke. She had to force a smile and command everyone to set off.
The restaurant that Li Muhua chose to entertain Jane was a famous Western restaurant in Kowloon, Hong Kong, close to the blue sea.
The entire restaurant was designed with reference to the Western Gothic church, but the overall length was extended. The towering spires and flashy stone pillars were well used everywhere.
The mottled floral glass windows exuded a sorrowful and solemn atmosphere. But when the bright sunlight shone through the windows into the dining room, the quaint oriental style of the surrounding design resonated with each other, creating a sense of harmony.
They came to a reserved round table with a view of the sea. After everyone sat down, they quickly ordered a set of Western dishes. While waiting for the waiter to serve the dishes, Li Muhua, as the host, was already a little scared, but she still forced herself to ask, "I don't know how Miss Jane and Mr. Yang met. Could it be that the two of you have worked together before?"
This question also troubled several people present, especially Mo Qianni. It was really difficult for her to put Yang Cheng together with such a woman. After all, the temperament, speech, and behavior of the two were too different.
"We just met a few times when I was abroad. Mr. Yang helped me a little, so we got to know each other." Jane said very generously.
Everyone came to a sudden realization. That kind of work must be laborious work, while Li Muhua felt that maybe Yang Chen had helped Jane kill someone. After all, Yang Chen's combat power was unusually terrifying to him.
The few of them chatted on and off, and when the waiter served the dishes, the originally lazy Yang Chen suddenly felt that something was off … …
Sitting on his right was the fat Lu Tao. He was the first to serve the dishes. At this moment, he had already picked up the knife and fork, looking at the main dish that the waiter had brought, and was ready to eat.
The waiter held a big plate in his left hand and a white towel in the other hand. He came with a gentle smile.
Yang Cheng stood up and suddenly stood between the waiter and Lu Tao.
"Mr. Yang, what's wrong?" Lu Tao asked doubtfully. He didn't have time to eat breakfast, so he was very hungry.
Several others also showed a confused look. Only Jane seemed to think of something and stood up slowly.
The waiter smiled and asked Yang Cheng, "Sir, what can I do for you?"
Yang Cheng pointed to the white towel in his right hand, "I need your towel."
The waiter smiled politely, "There is a guest towel on your seat."
"I want this one." Yang Cheng said with a faint smile.
The waiter's eyes showed a little confusion at first, but he finally nodded and extended his hand with the towel to Yang Cheng, "Sir, you can take it if you want."
"Thank you."
After Yang Cheng said that, he stretched out his hand like lightning and slapped the waiter's right little arm!
"Bang!!!"
Almost at the same time, a gunshot came from the waiter's right towel!
The white towel was smashed and the waiter was holding a revolver in his right hand. The bullet that was shot at that moment was supposed to hit Yang Cheng's chest, but because of Yang Cheng's timely shot, the bullet directly hit the dome!
"Ah …"
Exclamations sounded in the restaurant. The guests ran away, scurried, and more began to hide under the tables and the corners of the walls. After all, gunshots were too terrifying for the general public!
Seeing the whole hall was in a mess, the waiter who failed to shoot Yang Cheng took a step back with a gloomy face. He aimed at Yang Cheng fiercely and shot again!
Yang Cheng wouldn't give him the chance. Before he aimed, Yang Cheng had moved behind him unconsciously and hit him on the back of the neck, knocking the waiter out.
"What … what's going on!?"
Li Muhua shouted in shock and anger. He didn't bring a few bodyguards, and they were all outside the restaurant. Fatty Lu Tao was so scared that he hid under the table.
Mo Qianni's face was also pale. She subconsciously ran to Yang Cheng. Yang Cheng covered her by his side and said to the crowd, "Be careful, the killer move is too simple. There should be accomplices …"
Without waiting for Yang Chen to finish his sentence, the chubby middle-aged couple who were hugging earlier suddenly stood up. Each of them had a Colt pistol in their hands, and they aimed at Yang Chen and Li Muhua with murderous intent!
