Night’s Nomenclature

Chapter 226: Another Date!

No, to be precise, when Qing Chen realized that this uninvited guest was the current shadow of the Qing family, he was sure that he was definitely part of this deal!

Otherwise, why would a random shadow candidate be worthy of Shadow coming and offering to play a game?

Qing Chen was somewhat puzzled. Why did Shadow want to ruin the relationship between him and Li Shutong? If Li Shutong’s acceptance of him as a disciple was part of the deal, then why did Qing’s Shadow go to such great lengths to hint him? It was as if Shadow was afraid that he and Li Shutong were too close.

However, Qing Chen always believed in his own judgment. Whether on the Qingshan Great Cliff or in Prison 18, the relationship between Li Shutong and him as master and disciple was not fake at all.

Just as Qing Chen once said to Li Shutong, although they had known each other for a short time, everything he recalled in his mind seemed to last for centuries.

He had experienced repeatedly how good this master was to him, so there was no way it could be fake.

ONE suddenly said, “What happened tonight was a bit sudden. You are in a state of mind suitable for you to deal with people from Hesheng Group.”

“Yes,” Qing Chen nodded, “It doesn’t matter if I can clear Liu Dezhu’s crimes early by one day.”

“But it’s still early,” ONE said, “Do you want to go out and have some fun? I know a good place…”

Qing Chen looked at the smart panel at the door suspiciously, “You have rearranged your next date?!”

ONE, “… You are too smart, but I’ve said, it’s not a date. Trust me.”

“I’m not going!” Qing Chen said bluntly.

“Aren’t we friends?” ONE asked, “You are such an incompetent friend. I have been helping you wholeheartedly, but you aren’t willing to help me!”

What ONE said was indeed correct. She did help Qing Chen a lot. If it weren’t for ONE, it would have taken him several months to collect Liu Dezhu’s exculpation information by himself.

At this time, ONE added, “I will help you handle all your income from now on.”

Qing Chen: “Fine, I’ll go.”

“You’re so materialistic,” ONE said with emotion, “First, change into the suit I prepared for you.”

Qing Chen said calmly, “I have faintly felt it coming before. The suit, even the cufflinks are made of pure gold, obviously not cheap. I was wondering why you would be so kind as to give me such an expensive suit. It turns out that this is a prop for your second date!”

“But after you complete this date, it will still be yours,” ONE said, “This set costs over 120,000 yuan!”

“You really are a rich woman,” Qing Chen sighed, “Who is this person that you want me to meet this time? Why do I need such an expensive outfit?”

“Don’t worry, this time they are respectable upper-class people, unlike last time,” ONE said.

“No,” Qing Chen said expressionlessly, “You can’t be so vague this time. I must know everything about the character I’m playing today. Who is this person I will pretend to be?”

ONE thought for a moment and said, “I told her that I’m a Midnight Mercenary, specializing in fulfilling all the needs of others. It’s not a date this time. The person just needed me to help her out a little”

“Mercenary? Not bad,” Qing Chen nodded.

There are many mercenaries in the federation. They usually gather in certain bars waiting for missions.

For example, if a wealthy businessman wanted to cross the wilderness to another city, he would need someone to protect him or to escort certain goods to other places. These were all jobs for mercenaries.

Qing Chen changed his clothes and came out, wearing a black suit, a white shirt, and shiny black dress shoes.

Not only that, but ONE also prepared a black tie for him, as well as an extremely exquisite platinum tie clip.

It was the first time he wore clothes like this, which added a sense of oppression and toughness to his appearance.

It was undeniable that the suit fitted Qing Chen perfectly.

…

…

City 18 District 1, Sunlight Pavilion Restaurant on the 88th floor of Eternal Tower.

The floating car slowly landed on the restaurant’s parking pad. Qing Chen got out of the car in his suit and tie, and then quietly looked at the night scene behind him.

The last time he came here was with Li Shutong. Those were wonderful times that made him nostalgic.

A waiter from the Sunlight Pavilion restaurant came over and said respectfully, “Excuse me, are you Mr. Qing Xiaotu’? Ms. Li is waiting for you inside.”

“I am.”

The waiter looked at Qing Chen. For some reason, she always felt that the young man seemed familiar, but she couldn’t remember when she had seen him before.

It was strange because she wouldn’t have forgotten a young man with such an outstanding appearance.

Quickly, the waiter walked in front to lead the way and said, “Ms. Li has reserved the entire Sunlight Pavilion restaurant tonight, please rest assured.”

Qing Chen said calmly, “Yeah.”

When he was walking in, a tall, muscular man walked out. The man glanced at Qing Chen and got on a floating car outside.

After entering the Sunlight Pavilion Restaurant, he saw the woman sitting quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. She looked particularly quiet in her black dress, like a violet in the night.

Qing Chen was suddenly shocked, Li Changqing!

As the most famous princess of the second generation of the Li family, Qing Chen had naturally seen her in the information Lin Xiaoxiao gave him.

However, Qing Chen felt very confused. Why did ONE keep targeting the big shots of the consortiums?

In front of Li Changqing sat a capable-looking girl.

Li Changqing’s voice came from inside: “What are you good at? Which mission are you most proud of among the missions you have completed?”

Qing Chen was a little confused. Was this an interview?

Did ONE submit a resume for him out of boredom??

This was not right. This time, it was more like his master arranged some other things for him through ONE, dragging him into something.

The person he met now was not the one ONE asked him to meet two days ago, but a temporary change of plan!

Li Changqing was now in the battle for the throne, so she wanted to recruit some people from outside the Li family because she didn’t really trust her own people.

After another interview, Li Changqing looked up and saw Qing Chen. She waved calmly, “Come.”

Qing Chen sat down stiffly. It was his first time to attend an interview.

Li Changqing looked down at the LCD panel in her hand: “Qing Xiaotu, E-level genetic warrior, good at close combat, tigerweight boxing champion.”

“Yeah,” Qing Chen nodded: “Yes.”

“Have you killed anyone before?” Li Changqing asked slowly.

“Yes.”

“Who did you kill, and at what level?”

Qing Chen thought for a while: “Sorry, I can’t say.”

Li Changqing laughed: “Is he a prominent figure?”

“Sorry, I can’t say.”

Li Changqing thought for a while, “I took a look at your resume. You have rich experience in counter-reconnaissance work. Some cases that the intelligence department has not investigated clearly were actually done by you. I also investigated further details, and nothing on your resume was made up.”

Qing Chen had a bad feeling about this.

What did this ONE write on his resume? How could it even withstand investigations?

Wait, he suddenly suspected that ONE added some information to his resume that he wasn’t aware of, and it might be under the instruction of his master.

Otherwise, why would someone like Li Changqing be interviewing an E-level genetic warrior?

Li Changqing looked at him, “Do you want to be my bodyguard?”
