Chapter 64: The Mysterious Man Buying the Knife

  Lu Fei was astonished.

  Only he, Hu Zi, and Boss Liang knew about the ghost-head knife. He hadn't told anyone else, not even Liu Fugui.

  How did this sunglass-wearing man know about it?

  Could it be that he had been watching him, or perhaps keeping an eye on Duobao Hall?

  Lu Fei suddenly recalled being followed by someone a few days ago, and wondered if the two incidents were related.

  "Sorry, I don't have the knife you're talking about," Lu Fei flatly refused.

  He doesn't like to do business with people who are not clear and straightforward.

  "Manager Lu, don't rush to refuse. Take a look at the number first." The man in sunglasses took out a check, placed it on the counter, and wore a confident smile on his face.

  "No need to look. If there isn't any, there isn't any." Lu Fei smiled politely.

  The man's smile faltered, and the expression behind his sunglasses seemed to change. He then took out another check and placed it on the counter.

  "Manager Lu, are you really not going to take a look?"

  "No need to look." Lu Fei didn't even glance at it, keeping his eyes straight ahead.

  Tiger couldn't help but sneak a peek at the check. He didn't see it clearly, but he felt there were quite a few zeros on it.

  "Manager Lu, are you sure? No one else can offer this price except for my boss." The man in sunglasses seemed somewhat disbelieving.

  "I'm sure." Lu Fei found it rather amusing.

  Just because the price is high, does that mean you have to buy it? What kind of place does he think Sinisterium Pawnshop is!

  "I hope you won't regret it!"

  The man in sunglasses slightly raised his eyebrows, his face somewhat gloomy. After looking at Lu Fei for a moment, he picked up the two checks on the table and left coldly.

  After he left, Hu Zi immediately exclaimed, "Boss, that knife is so valuable? He offered so many zeros, but you still didn't sell it."

  "It's not about the price, but the man's background. We just received the knife; how did he know about it?" Lu Fei said.

  "You're right!" Hu Zi slapped his forehead. He had been too curious about the amount on the checks to remember this.

  "I promise, my lips are sealed. I will never tell anyone about anything you haven't told me to say!"

  "I don't doubt you."

  "Boss Liang is locked up and couldn't have told anyone either. How did that person find out?"

  "So, we can't sell it to him. Sinisterium Pawnshop's items are not hard to sell. There's no need to cause trouble for ourselves over a little money."

  Hu Zi understood.

  He felt that the man in sunglasses was no ordinary person, and worried that the other might cause trouble if he didn't get what he wanted, so he cautiously guarded the door.

  Fortunately, that guy didn't come back.

  Instead, Liu Fugui waddled over cheerfully.

  "Young Lu Manager, today is the day Chairman Su invited you to dinner. You must keep your evening free."

  Liu Fugui was so excited about dining with the Su family that the fat on his face was quivering.

  "Alright, I can go tonight."

  Lu Fei glanced at him and noticed that his face seemed a bit dark. He asked curiously, "Uncle Fugui, why do you look a bit haggard these days? Have you lost weight?"

  "Lost weight? I don't think so," said Liu Fugui, looking down at his large belly.

  "Your complexion isn't good. You look a bit weak." Lu Fei observed.

  He was still as fat as ever, but there was a kind of unhealthy plumpness, as if his vitality had been drained.

  "Maybe it's because I've been overworking recently." Liu Fugui chuckled, "I met a new confidante, and she pulls me into heart-to-heart talks every night. It's not okay if I don't talk."

  Huzi clicked his tongue, "Wow! Every night, Old Liu, can your old body handle it?"

  "Old but vigorous, do you understand that?" Liu Fugui glared at him, "Your Uncle Liu is still quite capable. I can last all night!"

  "Really? I don't believe it!" Huzi pouted.

  "If you don't believe it, let's have a contest now, see who can pee farther?" Liu Fugui said angrily.

  "Alright, let's have a contest."

  The two of them started to get ready for the contest.

  Lu Fei was speechless and waved his hand, "Uncle Fugui, take it easy. When the body is weak, the yang energy is also weak. With weak yang energy, it's easy to encounter dirty things."

  He felt something was off with Liu Fugui, but he couldn't pinpoint the problem, so he could only remind him like this.

  Liu Fugui smiled, "I am very considerate of women. She is so enthusiastic; I don't want to hurt her feelings. But with Little Lu's concern, I will definitely be more careful."

  The afternoon passed quickly with laughter and chatting.

  Lu Fei noticed that apart from Liu Fugui's slightly sallow complexion, there was nothing unusual, so he didn't think much of it.

  Before it got dark, the Su family's car arrived, taking the three of them to a high-end club.

  Su Liguo was full of energy, leading his son and daughter to greet them at the entrance of the private room.

  "Manager Lu, you're finally here, please come in!"

  Everyone took their seats one by one.

  Su Mingxuan's complexion had improved significantly. The signs of excessive indulgence had lessened, but he still seemed sullen and unhappy.

  Next to Su Liguo sat a pretty girl around twenty years old, with red-dyed hair and very fashionable attire, eyeing Lu Fei with a suspicious look.

  It was Su Liguo's daughter, Su Ningxue.

  "Manager Lu is our family's savior. Ningxue, Mingxuan, the two of you should offer him a toast."

  Su Mingxuan immediately raised his glass and gave Lu Fei a grateful smile.

  His father was very angry about the last incident, and if it weren't for today's dinner with Lu Fei, he might still be ignoring him. He had to seize this opportunity to make a good impression.

  However, Su Ningsnow doubted, "Dad, what life-saving benefactor? Aren't you exaggerating? Shouldn't the improvement of our family's health conditions be attributed to the doctors?"

  "Ningsnow, you are still young and don't understand that some things in this world cannot be solely explained by medical science," Su Liguo explained indulgently to his daughter.

  "Not only the improvement in your grandmother and mother's health, but also your recovery, is all thanks to Manager Lu!"

  "In our Su family, we repay kindness with gratitude."

  Although Su Ningsnow was half-skeptical, she still raised her glass to toast at her father's request.

  After the toasts and a few pleasantries,

  Su Liguo smiled again and said, "Manager Lu, to be honest, besides expressing my gratitude, I also want to buy a few items like amulets."

  "Amulets? I have a few that I drew myself. If Chairman Su finds them suitable, please take them." Lu Fei took out three ghost-repelling talismans.

  With just one look, Su Liguo felt a reassuring power from it.

  "Thank you, Manager Lu. How can we take your things for free?"

  He instructed his secretary to immediately transfer money to Lu Fei.

  Lu Fei didn't know how much they had transferred, nor did he care. After all, it was just a talisman he drew offhand, and now he could draw several of them every day.

  Su Ningxue curiously picked up a ghost-repelling character, looked at it over and over, and frowned, "What kind of scribble is this? Can it actually work?"

  Su Liguo immediately shot her a gentle glare and scolded in pretended anger, "Ningxue, watch your words! Apologize to Manager Lu right now!"

  "Dad." Su Ningxue pouted, feeling wronged.

  Lu Fei waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Chairman Su, don't be too hard on Miss Su. This is called a ghost-repelling character. Most people don't recognize it. It has some effect in bringing good luck and avoiding misfortune. Carrying it can ensure safety..."

  At that moment, his phone beeped.

  It was a message from Xie Yao.

  "Manager Lu, there's news about Old Master Lu."

  Lu Fei's expression changed, and he immediately stood up from his chair.

  After waiting for so long, there is finally news!

  "I'm sorry, Chairman Su, I have an urgent matter to attend to, please excuse me."

  Huzi hurriedly put down his chopsticks and stood up as well.

  Liu Fugui was taken aback and said, "Brother Xiao Lu, what could be more important than having a meal with Chairman Su?"

  "I'm sorry, I have to go."

  Lu Fei nodded to Su Liguo, without time to explain, he hurriedly left.

  No matter how big the matter, nothing is more important than news about his grandfather.
