Chapter 741: Finally Meeting!
Translator: Lordbluefire
Upon hearing this, Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen immediately stood up.
Both of them looked at Lu Cheng together.
Shen Ruojing was the first to speak, “What did he say?”
Lu Cheng replied, “One of King’s subordinates contacted me and arranged a meeting location. King wants to meet the boss.”
Chu Cichen immediately asked, “Where?”
“At the Prism Club.”
The Prism Club was a low-key club in the capital. It was said that only the rich and influential could enter, and the club’s owner was formidable, ensuring the safety of those inside.
If King invited them to the Prism Club, it meant that this invitation was not malicious.
Chu Cichen asked, “What time?”
“Two hours from now,” Lu Cheng said, panting. “Boss, could this be a trap? After all, King has a close partnership with the Karl family, and according to our information, Karl has already sought help from King.”
Chu Cichen furrowed his brow and replied, “It shouldn’t be.”
Lu Cheng complained, “Then why did he schedule it for two hours later? It’s so disrespectful. Who makes an appointment with only a two-hour notice? What if you’re not in the country?”
Shen Ruojing spoke up, “No ‘what ifs.’”
King knew they were in the country, which is why he arranged the meeting two hours later.
This indicated that King had been keeping an eye on them.
Both of them maintained a low profile, and they hadn’t gone out much today, yet King knew they were in the country…
A sudden realization struck Shen Ruojing, and she immediately looked at Chu Cichen. “It seems that King has considerable influence in China. He managed to monitor us without the Valor Gate noticing…”
Chu Cichen remained silent in response to Shen Ruojing’s words.
His deep black eyes held an unfathomable depth, revealing a complexity that was difficult to understand.
Seeing his expression, Shen Ruojing changed her words. “His influence in China is so strong. It’s a danger to us, but this is impossible Even if he can spare us, he shouldn’t be able to bypass our observations…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Chu Cichen looked at her and said, “Is it possible that he never bypassed?”
Both of them spoke ambiguously, leaving Lu Cheng confused on the side. “Brother Chen, Lord Jing, what are you talking about?”
Suddenly, Shen Ruojing realized something and looked at Chu Cichen. “Are you suggesting that King is Chinese?!”
“It’s possible,” Chu Cichen replied. He took Shen Ruojing’s hand and started walking. “Let’s go and find out.”
Shen Ruojing found it hard to believe. “King has been active overseas for many years and rarely involved himself in China’s affairs. Besides, his ancestors should be from abroad…”
At this point, as she saw Chu Cichen give her a faint smile, Shen Ruojing immediately understood. “The King Consortium has businesses all over the world except in China. That explains it!”
Her worldview seemed to shatter.
If King was truly Chinese…
Shen Ruojing didn’t dare to think further, but at the same time, she felt a sense of joy for China in her heart.
Among the world’s top three economic powers, none of them originated from China, which suppressed China’s economic development. It was based on this belief that Chu Cichen established the Loong Corporation, aiming to prevent their people from being throttled. However, it turned out that King was actually Chinese?
Shen Ruojing faintly felt joy and excitement in her heart.
If, if King could cooperate with Loong Corporation, then the economic status of China would surpass any other country!
Shen Ruojing unconsciously quickened her pace and followed behind Chu Cichen.
After the two got in the car, they headed towards the Prism Club.
On the way, Shen Ruojing was constantly filled with excitement. She glanced at Chu Cichen, wanting to speak but suppressing her excitement.
Chu Cichen smiled and asked, “You’re this happy just based on a guess?”
“Of course!” Shen Ruojing’s voice couldn’t contain her heightened emotions. “You don’t understand. I went abroad when I was young, and when others heard that I was from China, they would look down on us. We developed slower than Western countries by several decades, lagging behind for many years. But in the past decade, we have quickly caught up and surpassed them. If there is an opportunity to make China the world’s number one country, of course, I would be thrilled!”
Chu Cichen seemed surprised by Shen Ruojing’s response and asked, “Is it because of such strong patriotism?”
Without hesitation, Shen Ruojing replied, “Isn’t this the love of every Chinese citizen? This is our home. Who wouldn’t love their own home?”
Chu Cichen hesitated for a moment and said, “1 thought you were always active in the Dark Web Organization… so…”
Shen Ruojing chuckled, “Every home will have some flaws to varying degrees, but that doesn’t change the fact that this home will always be my safe haven. So, 1 love my home, and 1 love my country even more.”
Chu Cichen didn’t expect Shen Ruojing to say such a thing and instinctively glanced at her.
Chu Cichen demonstrated his love for China through practical actions by establishing the Loong Corporation…
But he never imagined that Shen Ruojing would also have such a strong belief.
The two chatted as they quickly arrived at the entrance of the Prism Club.
After getting out of the car, Shen Ruojing followed behind Chu Cichen as they walked towards the reserved private room.
“Do you think King might be a Chinese?” Shen Ruojing spoke more than usual.
Chu Cichen smiled and replied, “We will find out soon.”
Upon saying that, he pushed open the door to the private room..
