Chapter 592: Chapter 444: The Secret of the Great Star Chapter 592: Chapter 444: The Secret of the Great Star At the entrance of Tianyuan Tea House, Chu Mo and Jiang Tao erged from the main doors together.
Once they reached the roadside, a rcedes stopped by the curb, and the figure of the deputy head of the bodyguards, Fang Lihu, appeared before them.
Jiang Tao opened the rear car door for Chu Mo, who got into the back seat without any hesitation.
As Jiang Tao took his place in the passenger seat, the rcedes slowly started and rged into the traffic.
It was currently evening rush hour, the streets were bustling with people, and the rcedes was stopping and starting, unable to pick up any speed.
Chu Mo closed his eyes, his mind replaying the recent eting while he also evaluated Zhou Weijun’s every move.
It was only their first eting and Zhou Weijun’s behavior could be described as standard: he neither did anything particularly impressive nor anything excessively inappropriate, making him a very diocre middle-aged man.
...
However, this wasn’t the outco Chu Mo desired.
He wanted to determine if the man could truly be trusted.
As for this trial, Chu Mo simply regarded it as a test, a ga in progress.
Regardless of how Zhou Weijun perford, he would collaborate with him, but the forr would be based on mutual benefit, while the latter would an using him completely as a pawn.
It didn’t significantly affect Chu Mo, but for Zhou Weijun, these two choices would result in vastly different outcos for his life.
By early February, Shanghai was no longer cold.
Even at night, it wasn’t as bitterly cold as before, with dayti temperatures already reaching sixteen or seventeen degrees Celsius.
Once March arrived, the weather would completely turn warm.
The understated yet luxurious black rcedes drove slowly along the main road until, suddenly, the passenger Jiang Tao spoke:
“Mr.
Chu, there’s been a BMW following us this whole ti, and it looks like the person inside is that female celebrity!”
At that, Chu Mo instinctively looked back, although he couldn’t see anything.
After sitting back upright, a flicker of sothing unusual flashed in his eyes as he inquired:
“Tao Yingying and Zhou Weijun, the two of them?”
Jiang Tao in the front seat appeared to scrutinize the rearview mirror carefully, and after a mont, he shook his head:
“It seems to be just the female celebrity.
Should we shake her off?”
Taking a light breath, Chu Mo said calmly,
“Park at the restaurant ahead, we’ll have steak there tonight.”
The driver, Fang Lihu, imdiately nodded in agreent, and shortly afterward, the rcedes slowly left the main road and headed toward an elegantly decorated Western restaurant.
Once the car stopped, Fang Lihu was the first to get out and open the car door for Chu Mo.
The restaurant’s doorman promptly ca forward to greet them.
As Chu Mo alighted, he indeed saw a white BMW slowly approach the restaurant entrance.
Chu Mo withdrew his gaze and then went straight ahead into the restaurant.
Upon entering, he realized that due to the dinner hour, the restaurant was fully occupied.
“Sir, do you have a reservation?”
A receptionist in a black suit approached and greeted him.
Chu Mo didn’t answer; instead, he looked around the restaurant and casually pointed to a corner spot by the window, commanding:
“There, please!”
As Chu Mo spoke, the twenty-sothing receptionist hesitated,
“Sir, there are already guests seated there.
Our restaurant requires reservations in advance.
If you…
sir…”
The hostess had not finished speaking when Jiang Tao, with his towering figure, had already strode towards the window-side position, which was currently occupied by a man and a woman dining quietly.
The spot selected by Chu Mo was suitable for two diners; it was a hidden corner by the window, sowhat secluded but very quiet, where one would not be disturbed.
At that mont, a young man and woman in their thirties were seated there, the man dressed in a suit, the woman glamorous, a match of complentary beauty.
Jiang Tao, standing over two ters tall with an aura of a fierce tiger, walked towards them.
He reached into his pocket, pulled out a business card, and spoke softly.
The couple at the window nodded continuously, a flicker of joy soon appearing on their faces.
The elegant couple promptly set down their cutlery and rose to leave.
Chu Mo glanced at the flabbergasted hostess beside him, slightly raised his eyebrows and said,
“Would you clean it up for ?”
Upon hearing this, the hostess quickly recovered and nodded hastily, then she quickly walked towards the newly vacant corner.
A short while later, the window-side spot was tidied up.
Only then did Chu Mo leisurely walk towards the table.
He took a seat on the inside, facing the entrance, which allowed him to clearly see the arriving guests.
When the waiter ca over, Chu Mo casually ordered a steak and before the waiter had walked away, a long-haired woman wearing a mask was making her way through the restaurant entrance.
The woman didn’t seem to notice Chu Mo hidden in the corner.
After inquiring with the receptionist, who then gestured towards where he sat, the exquisitely beautiful woman elegantly made her way towards his location.
“Mr.
Chu, what a coincidence, to think we’d et again after just parting.”
Chu Mo observed the woman standing before him, wearing a mask but exuding an elegant charm from head to toe.
With a slight curl of his lips, he gestured casually,
“Miss Tao, please take a seat!”
The woman, whose flowing long hair added to her enchanting allure, sat gracefully across from him.
Their secluded corner, back facing the dining hall and away from disturbances, allowed her to gently remove the mask covering her face, revealing stunning features that could captivate any man, now displayed before him.
