Chapter 858: LUCY, Retirement Plan

ll originated from China. Foreign tea isn't authentic, don't buy nonsense, just go have fun, go queue up for shopping, your brain isn't working properly."Grandpa scolded her for a full five minutes, h...Under normal circumstances, guests attending a wedding banquet usually bring gifts.

With a nonchalant expression, he walked straight past the gift counter and swaggered into the venue to start eating.

Gifting, dreaming!

You won't get a hair out of her.

I recently took on a Scandinavian project, which completely wore me out. I was ready to splurge with the few million Euros I had in hand, but then I got scammed by the other party. Turns out they weren't fully dead after all, and they tricked me into falling into an ice cave! Now I've lost all the money and barely escaped with my life.

"I'm so poor, where is Qiao Baoer I need to borrow some living expenses from her..." After entering, he looked around.

He's really something else, you know This upscale nightclub in the city center, over 30 floors high, just closed down for a week because his wife wanted to throw some kind of engagement party. Not even his own engagement, mind you! Who knows what little nobody she invited

There are also 500 square meters on the top floor, with hundreds of guests arriving. The lights are dim, the music is soft, men and women embrace and dance, drink and talk happily. For a moment, I couldn't find Qiao Ba'er, that rich woman, so I had to fill my stomach first.

This is a buffet-style engagement party, with rows upon rows of delicious food laid out.

She narrowed her eyes, and her mood instantly brightened. She acted swiftly and fiercely, clamping down three large plates of seafood and meat in a snap. Holding a full dinner plate in one hand, she found a quiet corner amidst the bustling crowd, where she could eat undisturbed.

Apparently, his eating was too ferocious and quickly caught the attention of his other companions.

"My dear, I heard that from now on you'll be sleeping in the ice sculpture forever. I didn't expect you to be so lucky and escape..."

Two lean but sturdy men sat directly across from her, familiar with each other. "I thought you were really gone for good, I was sad for several minutes." He said, chuckling as he tossed a bottle of beer towards her.

He mumbled a mouthful of lamb chops, raised his head expressionlessly to look at the two people opposite him, and uttered a word with a muffled tone, "Get lost—"

Lao Gui and the monkey were used to her brutality, the two of them sneering with vulgar grins.

Keep her head down and focus on eating, not wanting to pay attention to them.

Their line of work is a special one. If they die on the job, there's no funeral, no grave, and their bodies might even be eaten by wild animals. They live on the edge of a knife, facing death every day. While each job could bring in a good sum of money, they are spendthrifts who find it hard to adjust to a simpler life after living in luxury.

“I strongly suspect Lao Da deliberately raised us to be spendthrifts so he could keep exploiting us.”

The more I chew on the mutton, the more real it feels.

"What are you mumbling about" Lao Gui teased, eyeing her.

I don't know when it started, but those big burly men noticed something was different. She used to be notorious for being a firecracker, a cold-blooded person who would retaliate against anyone who wronged her. Though she was a woman, she was top-tier in terms of performance. They wouldn't dare provoke her when they had nothing to do.

"You're getting more and more effeminate, aren't you" The monkey sighed with a sense of lament.

Almost the instant his words left his lips, her eyes turned cold. She swiftly grabbed a beer from the table and hurled it at the monkey across from her. The monkey swatted it away with his arm, but alas, poor thing, his already slender limbs couldn't withstand the force. "Aiya, aiya! My arm bone hurts! It's broken, it's broken!" he cried out in pain.

Old Ghost watched with schadenfreude, they were used to roughhousing like this. This was their usual temperament. When they were in a bad mood, they'd always use their hands instead of their mouths.

Beat someone to a pulp.

"Monkey, I told you a long time ago, you're going to ruin yourself with that stinking mouth of yours. See This is a lesson for you haha..."

On the plate sat a cleaver for slicing lamb legs. With lightning speed, almost imperceptible, a quick hand hurled it toward Lao Gui. Though the engagement banquet's lighting was designed to be hazy and soft, the cold gleam of the blade was unnerving.

-- The small knife scraped dangerously across his old face, the tip plunging straight into the long-backed chair behind him. Lao Gui was instantly terrified into sitting upright, not daring to move a muscle.

Lao Gui and the monkey looked at each other with their eyes, both secretly wiping a cold sweat.

Damn, this is like taking fire.

It seems like her trip to Scandinavia for this mission was really unpleasant.

With a bang, she slammed her fist on the desk and stood up.

She finished everything on her plate and glared fiercely at the two losers across from her, warning them with a harsh sentence, "I'm in a bad mood, scram!"

The Old Ghost and the monkey knew her bad temper well. In half a second, they vanished.

"Ugh, this is so annoying." He frowned and muttered under his breath in their direction.

Actually, the monkey was right. She could feel a change in her own heart and mind.

"I wonder if I've been poisoned by Qiao Baier."

She had never thought about the future before. She didn't care where she died, nowhere felt like home.

After spending some time with Qiao Baier, perhaps out of jealousy, seeing her peaceful ordinary life, he suddenly had a strange idea.

"One more job, and I'm outta here."

She even thought about it this way, "No, one ticket isn't enough. I need to do five more."

With a sullen expression, she walked toward the vegetable and fruit section. After eating so much meat, she needed to eat some greens, but she had always despised vegetarian food. Even delicious meals couldn't save her bad mood.

Her face grew increasingly grim. Lao Gui, the monkey, and several other tough guys from the club immediately backed away when they saw her, afraid of provoking her wrath. If she got truly angry, she'd be even more fearless than all of them combined.

"Let go—"

Just then, a reckless fool appeared.

The overhead lights in the food court cast a hazy, yellowish glow. Her face was sour, and she held a plate of fruit salad in her right hand as she passed through the rows of dining area seats. Suddenly, someone grabbed her left wrist.

"Let go."

Her gaze remained fixed ahead, her body rigid. The ominous tone came out between clenched teeth, "1, 2, 3..." Her other hand clutched the large bowl of fruit salad tightly, her blood pressure threatening to boil over.

Lao Gui and a few carefree monkeys immediately got excited, craning their necks to get a closer look, "Which brave soul would be so foolish as to..."

"It's probably because the light is too dim. So many beautiful women aren't flirting, but you're flirting with a wild beast..."

"Tsk tsk, you guys think, having a bloody incident at this engagement banquet, wouldn't the big shots be angry"

Over there, gritting her teeth, she declared, "If you want to die, I'll help you!" She held the large plate of fruit salad in her right hand and flipped it upside down onto the head of the person sitting by the seat. She used all her strength, determined to make the other person have a bloody head tonight.

I completely didn't expect that the man on the chair could dodge it.

The fruit salad and the crystal serving tray went crashing to the floor, making a complete mess.

Lao Gui and Monkey were surprised, clicking their tongues in amazement, "High-level expert!" They wore expressions of enjoyment watching the show.

The crucial thing was that the man refused to let go of his left wrist, clutching it tightly. He was truly a master, fearless of death! Several people immediately crept over stealthily to watch the spectacle.

She suddenly wanted to pull her hand back, but the other person's grip was strong. His left wrist was held tightly, as if he were about to break her bones.

Now she's truly furious. Originally, she just wanted the other party to go to the emergency room, but now she wants him hospitalized and bedridden.

"If you really want to die, I'll give you a ride—"

He swung his left fist angrily, about to land it on the other's cheek, "My head hurts," a slow, pure voice with a lazy tone drawled.

It shocked Lao Gui and the monkeys, who were enjoying the show.

That fiery fist didn't land on the man's face; she pulled it back just in time!

In the distance, a flash of colorful light streaked past, “Tang Yu!” Lao Gui and Monkey only then saw clearly, it turned out to be an acquaintance.
