After stating the address, Jiang Mengxin quickly hung up the phone. She was afraid that if she delayed for even a second longer, Lu Ming would hear her crying.
True friendship is revealed in times of adversity.
No matter how close relationships seem, they are superficial. Only those who stand by you when you are truly in trouble are genuine.
The relatives of the Jiang family, the friends around her, and various business partners all chose to stand by and watch at this moment! Only Lu Ming chose to help her.
And it was help without any conditions!
Even an iron heart like Jiang Mengxin's would melt at this moment.
She suddenly felt that being with Lu Ming was actually quite good.
Lu Ming had his own shining qualities.
At the very least, Lu Ming would not stab her in the back and would always stand up for her in times of danger. Whether he could solve the problem or not was another matter, but his attitude and courage alone were incredibly rare.
"Grandfather, is this why you wanted me to get engaged to Lu Ming?" Jiang Mengxin murmured to herself.
Half an hour later, Lu Ming arrived at the coffee shop by bus.
He sat directly opposite Jiang Mengxin.
Seeing the tear stains at the corners of Jiang Mengxin's eyes, Lu Ming asked with concern, "You've been crying? Have you been wronged?"
Jiang Mengxin waved her hand, "It's not about being wronged, it's about being touched."
"Touched?" Lu Ming didn't understand for a moment.
"Uh... let's get down to business." Jiang Mengxin quickly changed the subject. She didn't want to tell Lu Ming that she was moved by him.
Afterward, Jiang Mengxin told Lu Ming about Lei Li and related matters.
After hearing it, an unnamable fire burned within Lu Ming.
No matter what, Jiang Mengxin was his nominal fiancée. How could someone publicly force her into marriage? What kind of logic was that?
Lei Li must die!
With Lu Ming's strength, dealing with a mere Lei Li was very simple.
Even if Lu Ming didn't act, sending any one of the Medical Immortal, Asura, or Dragon King would have been enough to easily eliminate Lei Li.
However...
Before taking action, another person suddenly came to Lu Ming's mind: Murong Shuang.
He remembered that when Murong Shuang tore up their engagement contract, she had promised to help him three times. He had used one opportunity before, leaving two remaining.
The corners of Lu Ming's mouth curved upwards, revealing a sinister smile that was difficult to describe.
Jiang Mengxin asked curiously, "What are you smiling about?"
Lu Ming coughed, "I've thought of a very interesting way to deal with Lei Li, and I guarantee he'll die miserably."
"Oh?" Jiang Mengxin's interest was piqued.
Dealing with Lei Li was one thing, but why would it be "interesting"?
She asked, "What method? Tell me."
Lu Ming said mysteriously, "It loses its fun if I tell you. In short, this matter is on me. You should go back to your company now, eat something, and rest. Then, wait for my good news."
"Ah?" Jiang Mengxin didn't quite believe Lu Ming.
This disbelief was ingrained in her, difficult to shake.
In her eyes, Lu Ming was just a useless grave keeper. Did he really have the ability to deal with the King of Assassins, Lei Li? She didn't believe it.
Yet, seeing Lu Ming's confident demeanor, she...
"Okay, I believe you this time." Jiang Mengxin forced herself to choose to believe Lu Ming. This was the first time she had chosen to believe him, and she only hoped he wouldn't disappoint her.
Afterward.
Jiang Mengxin picked up her bag and left the coffee shop. Before leaving, she specifically went to pay for the coffee and ordered some snacks for Lu Ming.
"Lu Ming, this is the first time I've trusted you. Please don't let me down," Jiang Mengxin said to herself.
After Jiang Mengxin left.
Lu Ming searched for a good while and finally found the crumpled business card of Murong Shuang.
He dialed the number on the card.
Ring, ring, ring...
Ring, ring, ring...
After several rings, it was finally answered.
"Hello, who is it?"
A woman's voice came from the other end. Lu Ming immediately recognized it as Murong Shuang's second-in-command, Qin Tong.
Lu Ming said unceremoniously, "I am Lu Ming. Have Murong Shuang take the call."
Upon hearing Lu Ming's voice, Qin Tong was immediately displeased. "The useless grave keeper? What do you want with General Murong?"
"Is it any of your business? Stop wasting time and have Murong Shuang pick up the phone."
"You!"
Qin Tong huffily hung up the phone and called Murong Shuang over.
Murong Shuang asked as soon as she answered, "Lu Ming, which of your wires is crossed that you're bothering me?"
Lu Ming chuckled, "I'm not bothering you, I need your help with something."
Murong Shuang laughed. "Oh, the arrogant grave keeper king actually needs to ask me for a favor? The sun must be rising from the west, how rare."
"Stop the nonsense," Lu Ming said. "You promised to help me with three matters. You've helped once before, with two remaining. Have you forgotten?"
"I haven't forgotten. My word as Murong Shuang is absolute," Murong Shuang said proudly. "Go ahead, what do you need my help with?"
Lu Ming said with a wicked grin, "At eight o'clock tonight, I want you to go to the church."
Murong Shuang was taken aback. "Go for what? To attend your wedding?"
Lu Ming said, "Just go. Don't ask any other questions. As long as you arrive on time, you'll be helping me."
Murong Shuang was very confused.
What kind of help was this?
She couldn't figure out what Lu Ming was planning, but since he had made his request, she couldn't refuse.
She said, "You're wasting one of my three chances so casually? Fine, I'll help you with this. Lu Ming, you only have one last chance to ask for my help. Cherish it."
With that, she hung up the phone.
Ring, ring, ring...
Lu Ming looked at his phone and smiled.
He muttered to himself, "Eight o'clock tonight, the show begins!"
Lei Li and Murong Shuang were both narcissistic, arrogant, and conceited individuals. When these two met, they wouldn't be talking peacefully. They would definitely end up in a fight.
Moreover, Lei Li would also act against Murong Shuang, if only to clean up the church thoroughly.
Their battle was inevitable.
If everything went smoothly, and Murong Shuang eliminated Lei Li, it would mean Jiang Mengxin's troubles were resolved.
If it didn't go smoothly...
If Murong Shuang wasn't strong enough and was accidentally killed by the King of Assassins, Lei Li, that would be even better!
This arrogant woman deserved to pay a price for her arrogance.
Therefore.
No matter what the outcome, it was beneficial to Lu Ming.
When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman wins.
Lu Ming just needed to find a suitable spot, quietly sit in a corner, and watch them, the two tigers, fight.
"Comfortable."
Ever since Lu Ming arrived at the Jiang family, he didn't know how many troubles, big and small, he had dealt with.
Never before had he felt as comfortable as he did now.
Lu Ming called Asura. "Asura, help me book a good seat near the church. Prepare some sunflower seeds, beer, and binoculars; tonight, I'm going to watch a good show!"
