Lu Siya thought about it and asked, “Are you thinking that someone from Spirit Creation Creatures leaked the case yesterday night?”

“I don’t know. What do you think, based on your understanding of Xie Xiaolei?” Meng Chao shook his head.

Lu Siya pondered it for a moment. “It’s possible. Xie Xiaolei is really good at promoting things. He also loves taking the deviant path. If he believed that he is innocent, he would definitely not let go of the chance to increase exposure. But if he exposed it on his own, doesn’t this mean that he doesn’t have any ulterior motive? It doesn’t have any connection with the true criminal who killed Jin Yongqiang.”

“True. Looks like we will have to wait for Shen Yupeng’s results before we can do anything.” Meng Chao suddenly stopped as if he had thought of something.

Lu Siya quirked her eyebrows. “What is it?”

Meng Chao touched his belly and asked with a red face, “I’m sorry, Big Sis Ya. Do they have… non-counterfeit stuff here?”

“Non-counterfeit stuff?”

“You know, food that actually fills your belly. The one that you can eat happily until not a scrap is left.”

“… Weren’t you eating happily just now? I don’t see anything left on the plate.”

“I mean, I thought that those were cold dishes served before the main dish. I’ve been waiting for a long time, but I don’t see any real food coming over, so I decided to ask you about it.”

Meng Chao was not used to eating in a private restaurant reserved only for its members.

In the end, he went to the street food street in Nine Sands University City to eat to his heart’s content.

He did not expect that Lu Siya would follow him, so he had to sneak around to make sure that his university mates did not see him. Otherwise, he would have to spend a lot of time explaining things to them.

There was a 24-hour Ultimate Style Experience Center in Nine Sands University City.

Meng Chao lay down in the cultivation cabin and let gene medicine as well as high-calorie nutritional fluid submerge his mouth and nose.

The medicine slowly filled his lungs and stomach through his nose and mouth. Then, it seeped into the thin capillaries through the 36,000 pores on his body.

He entered a deep meditative state as bioelectricity and the sparks of his thoughts clashed against each other.

When he picked up Shen Yupeng’s call, it was no longer midnight, but five in the morning.

They were not going to eat supper together, after all. They were going to end up eating breakfast.

Lu Siya insisted on sending Meng Chao over. She also intentionally had him get out of her car in front of Shen Yupeng and the others.

Meng Chao did not know whether this was her staking claim over him in front of Shen Yupeng or whether she was telling Shen Yupeng that Meng Chao was hers.

He just smiled at this.

Any other normal university student would definitely have some sort of twisted ego after they managed to ride the coattails of a rich woman. They would feel like they were going to lose her at any moment, even though they had her at this moment. They would overthink things, and it would be impossible for them to treat the matter with a normal mind.

But Meng Chao had returned to the past from the apocalypse.

He had seen thousands of destructive stars shining above Dragon City.

He had seen the city built over half a century by tens of millions of people razed to the ground.

He had seen countless glorious buildings collapsing in an instant. Before the reinforced concrete could land on the ground, it was burned to a crisp by a tornado that was more than ten thousand degrees Celsius.

He had seen humans turn into charcoal after screaming their lungs out from pain.

He had seen countless souls escaping their torn bodies and instantly being wiped away by a spirit energy tsunami. In the end, not a single bit of them was left. Not even the signs of them laughing, crying, being happy, or being sad.

Meng Chao had seen too many things. At some point of time and from a certain angle, he had a really mature and profound heart.

To save Dragon City and create a bright future, he would ride Lu Siya’s coattails without any burden in his heart and without batting an eyelid. He could even do it in a righteous manner.

But he was also wary of her ambitious nature and recklessness.

Yet after he set her up, he could even calmly return to ride on her coattails.

As for riding on both Lu Siya and Shen Yupeng’s coattails at the same time? That was something simple and commonly seen.

However, riding their coattails was one thing. No matter, he still insisted on not changing his heart. He wanted to be a good citizen who loved Dragon City, defended his hometown, contributed to society selflessly, and had good morals.

Meng Chao walked into the congee restaurant where he agreed to meet with Shen Yupeng.

“Ms. Lu sent you?” Shen Yupeng asked. “Isn’t she angry about what happened yesterday?”

Meng Chao nodded. “She is.”

“Then…” Shen Yupeng hesitated. “Isn’t that kind of bad? Would it affect your cooperation with her?”

“Ms. Lu didn’t work together with me because I’m honest, loyal, or humorous.” Meng Chao shrugged. “Until my skills and qualifications that make me worthy of working with her are present, I think that she will continue working with me.”

“Meng Chao, you’re really interesting.”
