Li Yang glanced at Uncle Peng, a flicker of surprise in his eyes. The boss dared to say that, which indicated his relationship with Murong Xue was not that of an ordinary businessman and consumer.
Thinking this, the corner of his mouth curved slightly, and he said with a smile, "Boss, you're an understanding person. Team Leader Murong, this is how one should treat friends."
"Who says we're friends? Don't talk nonsense." Murong Xue glared at him. Although she didn't dislike Li Yang, and was even somewhat curious about him, she was not a woman who made friends easily.
Men knew that women like her had strict requirements for their partners and were difficult to fall for, but once they truly liked someone, they would never forget them.
Moreover, for a man, such a woman meant there was absolutely no risk of being cheated on.
Li Yang smiled and said, "Yes, yes, we're not ordinary friends. Boss, I drove here, so drinking is inconvenient. Just get me a bottle of mineral water."
"As for her, you know, men should know how to accommodate women. Get her a box of herbal tea to cool her down."
"What the sir says is absolutely right. He truly has a man's spirit. Please wait a moment, the food will be served shortly." Uncle Peng, hearing his words, assumed they were in such a relationship and immediately went to the kitchen excitedly, while also instructing the waiter to bring the drinks.
When all the food was served, he walked to the counter and secretly glanced over.
As for the kitchen, he left it to the chefs.
As the boss, he would only personally cook if the kitchen was too busy or if old friends like the Murong family came.
Li Yang noticed his gaze and, without turning his head, smiled at Murong Xue and asked, "Is this boss your elder?"
"Yes, my father's good friend. Our families interact frequently."
"What should I call him?"
"I call him Uncle Peng. No, Li Yang, I asked you here to ask you questions, why are you asking about me instead?"
Murong Xue suddenly realized something was wrong and immediately slapped the table, saying, "Speak clearly quickly!"
"I'm telling you, Zhao De has been saying that you framed him. If you don't explain, I'll investigate you."
"I am open and upright, pure and innocent. If you want to investigate, you can do so anytime!"
Li Yang extended his hands and said, "Why don't you search me right now? I'll let you search me thoroughly."
"You, don't be ridiculous! Speak quickly!" Murong Xue's face flushed as she recalled touching Li Yang's area last night when he searched her.
Li Yang stopped at the right moment and said with a smile, "Alright, since you want to know so badly, I'll tell you. Actually, this matter is not difficult to figure out. You just need to understand one point."
"Which point?"
"You raided our Fuhao Gambling Stone Market's truck last night, it must have been based on someone's tip, right?" Li Yang said with a smile. "You were an observer, perhaps you don't know, but I was there when the stones were bought. I know very well whether the stones had any problems."
"If someone reported it, it certainly wouldn't be baseless. That means someone is trying to frame our Fuhao Gambling Stone Market."
"So?" Murong Xue asked.
Li Yang picked up a piece of beef with his chopsticks and said, "So this matter is very simple. Zhao De and we are mortal enemies. The person who framed us like this is most likely him."
"As the saying goes, a goose leaves its tracks. He couldn't have done such a bad deed without leaving any trace. And he must have felt it was a sure thing, most likely celebrating."
"At this moment, he's most careless. If you investigate, you'll definitely find something."
"Then how do you know the items would definitely be under the sofa?" Murong Xue pressed.
Li Yang chuckled, "I wasn't sure either, I just said it casually. Anyway, if you went and didn't find anything under the sofa, it would be difficult to leave, and you would surely continue searching."
"Those things are in the house anyway, you'll find them eventually."
"You, you're truly cunning!" Murong Xue glared at him angrily. "Didn't you ever consider what if I didn't believe your tip?"
"You definitely would believe it, because you had already thought of something similar. It's just that you wouldn't believe it unless you heard it from me," Li Yang said with a smile.
Murong Xue's heart stirred slightly. She hadn't expected this man to guess her thoughts. "Don't act like you understand me so well."
"I wouldn't dare. However, I feel we have a tacit understanding, and I can still guess a thing or two," Li Yang said with a smile, picking up a piece of braised pork and putting it into her bowl. Then he added, "For example, among the dishes you like, there must be braised pork, right?"
"How did you know?" Murong Xue was surprised. Braised pork was her favorite dish, but not many people knew about it.
She immediately looked at Uncle Peng, wondering if Uncle Peng had told Li Yang when she wasn't paying attention.
Li Yang smiled and said, "Don't look at Uncle Peng, he didn't tell me anything. You told me yourself."
"When did I ever say that to you?" Murong Xue asked in surprise.
Li Yang smiled and pointed to the dishes on the table, saying, "You ordered all these dishes. No matter which one I say you like, I won't be wrong, right?"
"You," Murong Xue suddenly realized. It wasn't that she couldn't figure out such a simple logic, but she was too surprised to notice it at the moment.
"You're quite observant. As expected of a gambling stone expert, even a gambling stone specialist is no match for you. Your eyes are truly sharp."
"It seems you've learned about me. How about it? Aren't we a good match? Why don't I help you and become your girlfriend, so that Uncle Peng doesn't have to keep looking forward to it?" Li Yang said with a smile.
Murong Xue glared at him, "Stop being so conceited. I have no intention of having a man in my life."
"Then, when you walk alone on the road in the future, you must be very careful," Li Yang's eyes suddenly caught sight of a few figures, and his gaze immediately sharpened.
Murong Xue said angrily, "What do you mean? Do you think I need a man's protection?"
"Ordinary men probably can't protect you. Ordinary men probably can't deal with you either," Li Yang said with a smile, shaking his head.
Murong Xue was puzzled, "Then what do you mean?"
"What I mean is, you have too many enemies. Walking alone on the road, you're prone to being ambushed. But if there are two people, four eyes are always better than two," Li Yang moved his wrist, and the chopsticks in his hand shot out like arrows towards the entrance!
