Chapter 31: Poison poison poison (7)
Sorry for the delay~
As soon as Teacher Ren took action, he simply and efficiently took care of these six strong and robust big n, causing Lu Xiao to stare stupidly at the scene.
After a long while, when Ren Zhu grabbed a rope to tie these six people together, only then did Lu Xiao finally return to reality. He controlled his electric wheelchair to move forward and unfathomably said: “I really didn’t expect that besides evaluating culinary delicacies, you’re even this powerful at fighting ah.”
Ren Zhu heard these words and smiled. He turned towards Lu Xiao and shook his head: “I am not only powerful in these two areas.” My job is to teach and educate people.
Lu Xiao also smiled with him.
“So, can you now tell exactly what these people ca here to do? In a mont, the police will arrive. I can say that they threatened to justify my use of self-defence to settle this matter. However, even if it is confird that they ca here to cause a ruckus and furthermore try to harm , I estimate that they will only be detained for ten to twenty days and then be released. When that ti cos, you will still be tangled up with them.”
Ren Zhu quickly got to the main point. In an instant, the smile on Lu Xiao’s face completely vanished and he seed to be internally struggling. However, thinking about Ren Zhu’s status and how he helped him just a mont ago, in the end Lu Xiao still divulged the reason why those big n would co to his house.
“Actually, this matter is quite simple.” Lu Xiao sat in the wheelchair, his tone was pretty mild: “My father is Lu Cheng Shan. You should have heard this na before right?”
Ren Zhu nodded: “The star chef list rank 98th 3 star top chef, specialised in Western cuisine as well as Chinese Western fusion foods. I had once tasted the food your father made on a Western cuisine cooking competition show. I must say that although I like Chinese cuisine the best, the Western style food he made was also very delicious.”
Lu Xiao smiled. He was very proud of having such a father. However, he quickly beca depressed: “My parents were in a car crash and passed away. Also because of this car crash, my two hands as well as my leg have been damaged. I am a chef and my hands are both ruined. I feel that I no longer have any joy or desire in life. In fact, I don’t want to burden Xiao Ming. However, when I was abandoning myself in despair, one day approximately half a year ago, Zhao Hu and the others suddenly ca to our door. In the beginning, I didn’t know what they ca here for. I only thought that they ca to demand money or rob us, but as soon as they ntioned the ‘Western Cuisine Records”, I knew that they ca with ill intentions.”
“Father recorded so of his insight and notes on Western cuisine into a book. He had often said that this was his Western Cuisine Records, it was the crystallisation of his knowledge in this lifeti. When the ti ca, he would pass it on to and my brother, as well as his disciples. This point my brother and I knew. His big disciple Uncle Lu, that is Lu De Yong, also knew.” At this mont, Lu Xiao’s expression beca sowhat pained: “Originally, if Uncle Lu had personally ca to our door to ask for this record book, it would be fine if he made a copy and then returned it back to . However, I completely didn’t think that he would actually hire people to co and forcibly take it. At the start, I simply didn’t know the reason, but later on I spent a large amount of money to find a detective to investigate him. Only then did I find out that even before my father’s accident, he had already turned to lean on another chef on the star chef list. Even if my parents didn’t have a car accident, this person would also use all kinds of thods to steal the ‘Western Cuisine Records’ to give to his new teacher. What makes feel even more disgusted is that the new chef that Lu De Yong is leaning on is Liu Sheng Li. In order to be victorious, he had previously deliberately told my father that sothing happened to my mother in order to affect his fra of mind.”
“You say, how can I give the ‘Western Cuisine Records’ to this kind of person who bullies masters and betrays ancestors? Don’t tell that I should let him take my father’s blood, rely on my father’s enemy and again trample all over my father’s reputation?! He is simply dreaming! Even if I’m dead, I will still absolutely not let him obtain it!!” After saying this, Lu Xiao’s mood seed very agitated. In his mind, Ren Zhu rapidly thought over this matter. If things developed down the worst path, what kind of person would Lu Ming beco?
Then, Teacher Ren’s body was covered in cold sweat.
“Indeed, you must not give him that book.”
Lu Xiao finally obtained an agreent and his mood relaxed a lot. However, he soon knitted his brows again: “But the issue is that these people are as you said. Perhaps after ten or twenty days, they will co again. What thods are there for to settle these people once and for all?”
The ever resourceful Teacher Ren didn’t hesitate to give him a suggestion: “Isn’t this simple? Just morise the contents inside and then burn the book directly in front of their faces.”
As a result, Lu Xiao’s entire face showed that he was unwilling: “This is my father’s precious blood. I absolutely cannot destroy it.”
Teacher Ren also nodded and then made a second suggestion: “Then, just beco powerful so that they would no longer dare to co find you.”
Hearing this, Lu Xiao’s face instantly beca defeated and he bitterly smiled. He looked at his hands and painfully said: “…… If it was before, I could strive to challenge the star chef list and beco a powerful and formidable person. But now…… there’s no hope.”
At this mont Ren Zhu was sitting on that folding chair, thinking about what to do. He took out his phone and pressed a few keys, then showed it to Lu Xiao.
Lu Xiao saw a photo of an old man on that phone. His heart ached a little but also had a trace of sweetness. He sighed and said: “Lu Ming also always showed Master ng’s situation to encourage . However, my path is in Western cuisine, whereas Master ng’s is in congee. How is this the sa? Furthermore……”
Lu Xiao hadn’t finished speaking, but Ren Zhu knew what he wanted to express: “Indeed, not everyone can beco like Master ng. However, Master ng could succeed. Why can’t you be the second Master ng, or even be the person who can surpass him?”
“Unless, you are afraid of hardship, afraid of failure. You blindly imrse yourself in your forr success and other’s praise, living as before in your imagination and not daring to face reality.”
Ren Zhu’s words were very cold and without any affection, practically unmasking Lu Xiao’s self-deception.
Lu Xiao, whose mood just a mont ago was still considered to be mild, abruptly raised his head. His expression beca fierce as he roared at Ren Zhu: “What do you know! What do you know!! I am absolutely not afraid of hardship, nor am I scared of failure! I am not scared of anything! As if I don’t dare to face reality! The reality is that I can never beco a distinguished chef! At least Master ng’s hands can still move flexibly, but I can’t even lift up a pan! A person who can’t even do sothing so simple, how can he beco a chef? You tell ! How can soone like you who has a robust body understand my pain! You have no idea how hard it is for to live right now, what do you know!”
Ren Zhu looked at Lu Xiao who was unceasingly roaring and felt that he really did suffer quite a lot. However, even if it was like this, Ren Zhu also did not intend to comfort this person. Lu Xiao should have been consoled so much that this kind of consoling made him think that he could no longer succeed. Now, what this person needed was not consoling, but rather to see the light of hope.
Hence, Ren Zhu did not say anything. He simply waited for the police to co and take away those six n, then nodded towards Lu Xiao and directly left. Sitting in his wheelchair, Lu Xiao looked at the young man who didn’t even say a few words of comfort towards him and silently pursed his lips. See, as expected this person didn’t understand his pain. He didn’t even say a few words of comfort and simply left. Seeing his straight figure and proud attitude, how can he possibly comprehend his suffering?
Lu Xiao lowered his head and laughed at himself, turning his wheelchair back into the room.
At this mont, Ren Zhu had already walked down the stairs of the building. Looking at his watch, he realised that it was already passed lunch ti. Ren Zhu rode a rental bike from the side of the road, intending to first eat lunch and then directly go to the food market to buy ingredients. He definitely wouldn’t forget the dinner arrangent with a certain genius star chef in the afternoon at 5:30. He could get by with eating takeout at noon, at night he could enjoy delicious food. Also, he needed to properly think about how he should make Lu Xiao realise that what he needed was not comfort but rather resolute faith that he could succeed and the courage to keep fighting despite continuous setbacks.
Ah, perhaps he needed to give human compassion. Ren Zhu clucked his tongue. No good, he can’t give human compassion. It’s better to leave this to Lu Ming himself to give.
Consequently, in the afternoon, Teacher Ren returned to Zhenxiu Institute. As this was only the first day after he had recovered, the headmaster very understandingly let him temporarily stop classes for three days to rest well. Hence, this afternoon Teacher Ren very leisurely walked into his office and put the purchased ingredients into the fridge. He then found a student to call Lu Ming to his office.
When Lu Ming entered the room, his face was full of precaution. He gloomily looked at Ren Zhu as though he were a treacherous and murderous piece of scum, a big repulsive villain.
Regarding his students, most of the ti Teacher Ren was warm like a spring breeze. His hands propped on his office desk, he looked at Lu Ming and revealed what he believed to be a gentle smile: “This morning I went to your house.”
Lu Ming imdiately reacted like a startled cat: “What did you co to our house for?! Our family doesn’t have any money!”
Teacher Ren’s smile beca stiff. How co it seed like he was the villain who entered their house to rob them? Consequently, Teacher Ren expressionlessly said: “I only returned the money you gave to your brother. Then I happened to see a big play. I helped your brother take care of a few bad people who ca to your house, that’s all.”
After Lu Ming was startled, he quickly restored his calm. However, his expression when he looked at Ren Zhu was still full of distrust: “How can you have any good intentions? Also, how co those bad people coincidentally appeared when you went over? Did you collude with them? How is it possible for you to single-handedly defeat several people? Could it be that you want my father’s manuscript?”
Teacher Ren heard these questions co one after another and thought that sure enough, this kid’s brain functioned very well. However, he sounded very paranoid. Forget it, it wasn’t his fault. Bla this miserable world.
“See for yourself.”
Teacher Ren took out and showed the video on his phone. It was taken at the ti when the police ca to take away those six big n. After Lu Ming saw the video, for a split second his face had a flustered expression. Obviously he recognised Zhao Hu and the others. When he saw that they were taken away by the police, the precautions that Lu Ming had towards Ren Zhu finally dissipated a lot. However, he still looked at Ren Zhu with suspicion: “…… Why did you go over to my place?”
Ren Zhu sighed: “Didn’t I say it already? Return money. Otherwise after a few days you two brothers would need to sleep on the streets.”
Lu Ming bit his lower lip, his face full of stubbornness: “I have my own thods to make money. You can keep the money I gave you, so long as you don’t forget your promise.”
Teacher Ren again revealed what he thought to be a gentle smile: “Previously I was just testing you. I am not lacking money, why would I want yours? Now I can confirm that you were sincerely looking for thods to help your brother. Moreover, as a culinary connoisseur, I also feel that your brother’s situation is very unfortunate. He could originally beco an outstanding Western cuisine chef. Hence, I have decided to help you tackle this problem.”
Lu Ming instantly raised his head and heard the teacher who he had previously labelled as a sinister cunning hypocrite in his heart say: “As long as your performance can stay in the top 3 of the grade in this sester, I will recomnd you over to Chef Song free of charge.”
Lu Ming was suddenly blank. He simply did not dare to believe the words he just heard. When he finally couldn’t help but stamringly want to ask if this was true, he again saw the young man opposite him reveal a smile, once again saying:
“In addition, if you are willing to pull down your face and follow just once, perhaps I can find a thod to let your brother pull himself together even faster.”
Lu Ming stupidly stared rooted to the spot. After a long while, he fiercely reacted: “What kind of thod do you have! No matter what kind of thod, so long as you are willing to tell , I am willing to do anything!!”
Seeing the young man who suddenly looked like he had been injected with chicken blood, Ren Zhu smiled: “This afternoon at 5:20, co and find .”
Then, at 5:30, Chef Yin was wearing his chef’s outfit, holding his shoulder and stretching his long legs. His face was indifferent as he leaned on the wall of his classroom, seeing the classroom door being pushed open. The man whose handso appearance very much agreed with his aesthetics, and recently even his temperant started to agree with his tastes, ca in carrying ingredients with a beaming smile on his face.
Yin Feng stood up straight and was just about to say sothing when his expression suddenly beca cold.
Lu Ming first blankly followed behind Ren Zhu. He completely didn’t understand. It was already the end of school, what were they still doing here? When he saw the young star chef in the classroom whose face was cold as though he wished to freeze everything in his surroundings, even if Lu Ming felt that he feared nothing under the skies, he still trembled and was frozen to the spot.
Lu Ming: …………………….. I have a particularly bad premonition! QAQ!
Haha Yin Feng wants his alone ti with Ren Zhu~
