The System Is One Year Ahead Of Schedule, But It’S Not The End Of The World Yet!

Chapter 27: Rank Nine Anomalous Being!

"Please come in, both of you," the waitress said with an elevated tone after receiving Tang San's reply, emphasizing the word "both" intentionally.

She did so to allow Tang San inside to have an early understanding of the situation.

Sure enough, upon hearing the waitress's words, Tang San, who was originally sitting calmly inside the room, immediately looked towards the door with a puzzled expression.

After all, today was supposed to be a date for the two of them, so why were there two other people coming?

Initially, Tang San didn't think that Liu Qinlan would bring another man. He thought that Liu Qinlan might feel a bit embarrassed and brought a girlfriend along.

However, what he saw was Liu Qinlan entering the room with a young handsome man.

This made his pupils shrink, feeling a bit displeased.

But for the time being, he hadn't figured out the identity of the young man Liu Qinlan brought, so he didn't rush to react.

After all, it could be her cousin or something. Although it would still ruin their private date, if she brought a family member along to support her shyness, it could still be acceptable.

He immediately stepped forward to greet them and asked directly, "Qinlan, you really came at the right time. This brother is a bit unfamiliar to me. May I know who he is...?"

After exchanging greetings, he immediately inquired about Chen Mo's identity.

"This is my boyfriend, Chen Mo."

"Nice to meet you, Young Master Tang. I've heard about your reputation in this city. It's my first time seeing you in person. You truly live up to your name," Chen Mo said with a faint smile, exchanging pleasantries.

"Hehe, Brother Chen, you flatter me. You're quite good-looking yourself!" Tang San teased.

Seemingly mocking that Chen Mo looked like a pretty boy.

"Please have a seat."

Seeing that Tang San could remain calm after hearing Liu Qinlan's introduction, the waitress couldn't help but admire his composure. She immediately said, "You three can chat. I'll be outside the door. If you need any service, just call me."

With that, the waitress exited the room and closed the door.

At this point, Chen Mo and the others had already taken their seats.

Chen Mo received a serious warning from the system.

[System Prompt: Special Warning, Special Warning. A high-level entity with immense hostility towards the host has been detected nearby. Please quickly move away, host!]

Chen Mo glanced at the rank label on Tang San's head - [Tang San · Rank Nine Anomalous Being].

"Rank Nine Anomalous Being, the strength is not bad. Anomalous Beings seem to have their own intelligence, no wonder they are filled with immense hostility towards me. It seems that my appearance today has completely angered him."

After the three of them took their seats, Tang San suppressed his anger and looked at Liu Qinlan with a forced smile, saying, "Qinlan, what is the meaning of this invitation today? I believe you are well aware. By inviting Brother Chen here, what exactly do you mean?"

At this moment, Tang San's words were clearly filled with displeasure, but at least he didn't completely lose his temper and was still speaking calmly.

Liu Qinlan smiled faintly and said, "It's just the surface meaning. I already have a boyfriend. Although my family may not approve of him, I do. They chose to hide it from you all, but I don't want to deceive you. I brought my boyfriend here hoping that we can have an honest conversation, so as not to waste Tang Dashao's time."

"This matter could have been clarified over the phone, couldn't it?" Tang San's tone had already become somewhat angry when he said this.

The meaning of his words was simple: this matter could have been easily explained over the phone, so why make it so unpleasant by bringing it out in the open? It was clearly a way for him to save face.

"I think I've already said it a few times over the phone before, but you insisted on meeting in person, didn't you?" Liu Qinlan still had a calm smile on her face as she replied.

She had indeed refused a few times before, but after Tang San investigated, he found out that Liu Qinlan didn't actually have a boyfriend. Plus, the Tang family considered the Liu family to be a good match, so they allowed him to continue the contact.

But unexpectedly, Liu Qinlan was playing for real! She actually brought out a boyfriend.

And this boyfriend not only looked good, but also had a great physique. The clothes he was wearing were also of high quality, definitely not ordinary.

When did Shanghai have such a young master? He didn't even know.

Seeing Liu Qinlan say this, Tang San turned to Chen Mo and asked, "I wonder which family in Shanghai Chen Xiong is from?"

Chen Mo was about to say that he was just an ordinary person, but Liu Qinlan preempted him and said, "My boyfriend is not from any family."

"Oh? Then it's quite a coincidence that he knows Miss Qinlan. It's truly a stroke of luck," Tang San sneered.

"It's not really a coincidence. You also know that I'm good friends with Yue Jie. My boyfriend is Yue Jie's sworn brother, so naturally we got to know each other through that connection," Liu Qinlan said calmly.

With these words, Tang San fell into silence immediately.

He was naturally well aware of Yue Jie, whom Liu Qinlan mentioned.

Zhao Yue's identity was known to almost everyone in Shanghai who had some status. As one of the top underground organizations in Shanghai, the Yellow Robe Society was not to be trifled with.

Many celebrities and nobles had dealings with them, and many difficult matters were entrusted to the Yellow Robe Society to handle.

Everyone gave each other face.

"So Zhao Jie actually recognized such a sworn brother. I really haven't heard of it. I'll have to inquire about this with the uncles in the Yellow Robe Society and see if they know about this," Tang San said, getting up and saying, "Since you two are a perfect match, I'll consider this private room as my treat. Please enjoy yourselves. I have something to attend to, so I'll take my leave."

After saying that, Tang San left without waiting for Chen Mo and Liu Qinlan to respond.

From beginning to end, he didn't ask for any details about their relationship, because in his eyes, those were no longer important. The nature of the situation had already changed the moment Liu Qinlan brought Chen Mo into this private room.

As soon as he left, he immediately had someone start investigating Chen Mo's identity.

If Zhao Yue really recognized this kid as her sworn brother, and his name was already on the upper-level roster of the Yellow Robe Society, then this matter could only be temporarily put on hold.

Otherwise, the face of Tang San, the young master of the Tang family, couldn't be wiped away with just a few words.

Seeing Tang San leave with a sullen face after saying only a few words, Liu Qinlan couldn't help but frown and said, "It seems like he's quite angry. I don't know if Yue Jie's identity can suppress him. I should talk to Yue Jie about his reaction."

At this moment, Chen Mo didn't really care about offending Tang San.

On the contrary, he was quite happy.

Because he didn't expect that making Tang San angry would actually trigger a quite decent reward!
