Barrier of Light

Laocheng hot pot restaurant.

This is an old hot pot restaurant located in a remote alley in Qinghe District. It is very popular. You usually need to book in advance to get a seat. There is an open-air terrace on the second floor.

The rooftop on the second floor was occupied by three young people tonight.

"smell good--"

Zhong Wei took a deep breath, and he swallowed: "...Where did the smell of the pot come from? It's too fragrant. I'm about to cry. How long will it take for Xiao Gu to arrive?"

Senior Sister Luo patted him lightly with the unopened chopsticks, and warned: "Just wait honestly. Don't move the chopsticks if you can't take care of me."

soon.

The hot pot was served, a large piece of butter was poured with a thin layer of tea, and the fire was simmering slowly. The butter melted completely, and the aroma of pepper slowly dissipated, with small bubbles bubbling.

"It's indeed the hot pot restaurant that the teacher found..." Zhong Wei looked at the red oil pot and said with emotion: "It must be delicious because it's hidden so deep. I don't move my chopsticks, can I have a taste of the soup first?"

Senior Sister Luo glared at him.

Zhong Wei retracted the spoon embarrassingly.

Coughing lightly, Zhong Wei changed the subject, and said seriously: "Speaking of... Xiao Gu is really surprising and unexpected, the people in the review team are all ruthless characters, and they don't look like they can release water. How did he pass the audit?"

Nan Jin was wearing casual clothes, sitting on the side of the roof, with one hand resting on the balcony railing, she looked at the corner outside the alley, and said softly: "I think Gu Shen hid it. Interpreting the dream... ...Probably his strength. Remember Han Dang's expression at the end?"

The brothers and sisters looked at each other at the same time.

In Gu Shen's apartment, when he opened the lock box, Han Dang looked astonished and shocked.

"You mean, it's very possible... In the orphanage, Han Dang has already confronted Gu Shen once." Zhong Wei narrowed his eyes, feeling that this matter is starting to become interesting, "And Han Dang, the old fox , was deceived by Gu Shen."

"interesting……"

Luo Er was also interested, she murmured: "No wonder Han Dang came to the apartment to snatch the lock box... He thought there was important physical evidence in the lock box. In the end, he was completely deceived by Gu Shen."

"Han Dang's ability is called 'True Words'. He can release a very powerful spiritual realm and forcibly pull people into 'dreams'. In the dream world, no one can lie to him."

Zhong Wei spoke quickly: "So he dragged Gu Shen into a dream, thinking that he had got a clue in the 'truth field', but in fact the clue was completely false."

"Amazing..." Senior Brother Zhong muttered, "So the truth is that Gu Shen found a loophole in Han Dang's dream? It's incredible..."

"We don't know the truth, and it doesn't matter anymore... The review is over."

"What is certain is that Xiao Gu is not as simple as we imagined."

Senior Sister Luo smiled and shook her head, "We were not optimistic about his grades before, but he won the 'S class' and broke several records of the tribunal."

She thought of what Gu Shen said to herself at the training ground.

This teenager did it.

It's not easy, but it's also amazing.

"coming."

Nan Jin spoke in a low voice, and at the same time pulled up the peaked cap beside the table, and pressed it hard on her head.

Regarding Nan Jin's action of putting on the hat... Zhong Wei was a little confused at first, but then he understood why.

The roar of the engine roared.

An extremely eye-catching pitch-black convertible supercar drifted through the corner, and then slammed on the brakes, and the tires hugged tightly and rubbed two tire marks on the ground.

All eyes are drawn to one point.

"Aha—"

"Awaited!"

The old man with a cigar in his mouth puffed out a puff of smoke under the gaze of everyone, and greeted the disciples on the second-floor rooftop warmly. Mr. Shu changed into a flamboyant white gentleman's dress, as if he was going to attend a state banquet A heavyweight guest, but Gu Shen next to him was covering his cheek tightly, not wanting to be exposed to the public's gaze.

This old man, does he have social arrogance?

How can anyone dress like this... come to eat hot pot!

...

...

"You guys, why do you have this expression? Afraid of being seen?"

"Relax, the second floor has been packed."

Zhou Jiren went up to the rooftop and saw his three disciples wearing hats and huddling their heads. He couldn't help laughing and said, "I'm going to meet a friend after eating hot pot. It's better to dress formally. Otherwise, I don't mind." A vest and shorts as a simple citizen."

Gu Shen who was behind came to the rooftop and heaved a long sigh of relief.

Finally, the torment along the way was over, and Gu Shen could no longer count how many people looked at him strangely, and those eyes were full of complex emotions such as surprise, envy, jealousy, and contempt.

Ever since he sat in that supercar, he felt something was wrong... He only hated that he was too young, his skin was too thin, and he didn't have the experience of getting along with an old guy day and night.

If he did it again, he chose to wear a thick mask.

Mr. Shu took off his jacket and sat down by himself. He flicked the cigarette ash and pointed out: "Everyone is waiting in a hurry? Originally, Gu Shen's review was over long ago, but Cui Zhongcheng dragged him away to be alone. for two hours."

Zhong Wei threw a meaningful look at Gu Shen, and said with a smile: "Oh? Cui Zhongzhong is a very powerful person. What did you two talk about, tell me honestly!"

"Actually, I just walked around the big rattan public school a few times." Gu Shen also took off his coat, and said helplessly, "It's been reviewed...he asked me what I want."

"This meeting is only possible because you got an 'S' score. Everyone's evaluation of Cui Zhongzhong is very consistent. This person is a very efficient but cold-blooded robot. He talks to you only because you are valuable. Senior Sister Luo asked, "What requests did you make?"

Is everyone's evaluation of Mr. Cui actually like this? Gu Shen was a little surprised.

The work efficiency is extremely high, and I can really feel it.

But cold-blooded and mean... I don't feel this way at all. On the contrary, some characteristics of Mr. Cui make me feel warm and even vaguely resonate.

"I don't ask much..." Gu Shen wrung his fingers and said, "It's probably some security for the children in the orphanage. There is also the matter of concealing the mother-in-law."

Several people at the table looked at each other.

There was a brief silence.

"..."

Zhong Wei said: "No more? That's it?"

"Should there be anything else?"

Gu Shen was a little dazed, "By the way... I also asked him to investigate the fire case to the end."

"These requirements are not requirements at all. Didn't you mention some... heavyweight conditions?" Zhong Wei hurriedly said: "For example, high-level authority to link to the deep sea, top-level breathing methods, or the selection of extraordinary sealed items?"

"This..." Gu Shen was dumbfounded, "Is it still possible to choose this way?"

too young.

Poverty limits one's imagination.

When talking with Cui Zhongcheng, he didn't think about it at all.

Compared with what Senior Brother Zhong said, the request he made was indeed too vulgar and vulgar. No wonder Cui Zhongzhong's vision at that time was so... memorable.

As an S grade, it is too easy to meet my own requirements.

"Aha—"

Mr. Shu smiled and patted Gu Shen on the shoulder, "I think Xiao Gu made a good choice! Zhao Xilai and Cui Zhongzhong are not good guys, so there's no need to take advantage of them!"

When it comes to Cui Zhongzhong, Nan Jin has been silent.

She silently leaned against the roof to blow the wind, her eyes wandering in the gradually shrouded night in the distance.

"Okay, okay. The review is over."

The old guy raised his glass with a smile, and said, "Let's raise our glasses tonight. Congratulations to the S-rank newcomers of the Tribunal!"
