The two dragged their luggage up to the nineteenth-floor apartment and carefully swiped their access cards.

"Hi, you're here!" A bright and cheerful girl was setting the tables in the restaurant when she saw the two of them open the door and immediately welcomed them in.

"You must be Isabel and Victoria. Come in and have a seat. Oh, and here are some slippers." Su Xiaoqiang greeted the two as they walked in. "My name is Su Xiaoqiang."

"Hello," they both said in unison.

Gu Ran then placed a clay pot on the gas stove, glanced at it, and said, "Hey, you're here. Didn't you eat anything on the plane? Come and have something to eat!"

"Hello, senior." The two girls greeted Gu Ran together.

"Don't be shy, please sit down," Su Xiaoqiang said, inviting the two to sit.

Gu Ran had prepared all the ingredients for the hot pot. He explained, "My wife heard that two pretty female students were coming over, and she insisted on treating them to a meal. Please don't be shy, everyone, let's eat!"

And so, we ended up eating this meal in a daze. It was a beef hot pot, made with top-quality Wagyu beef. Every slice of beef had a mesmerizing snowflake pattern, and it looked delicious.

Victoria and Isabel were both of noble birth. Although they were a little uncomfortable at first, they gradually got into the mood and started chatting with Gu Ran and Su Xiaoqiang.

The two had traveled to many places and came from different countries, so they had a lot to talk about. Victoria talked about some secrets of the British royal family that were even more explosive than what WikiLeaks had revealed.

Isabelle then mentioned the Catalan independence referendum, in which the Élysée Palace actually played a role.

Su Xiaoqiang didn't have much to say, so she started talking about her trip to South Africa with Gu Ran to pet lions and her gunfight with gangsters in the Nürburgring of Germany.

Isabel and Victoria were secretly impressed when they heard that Su Xiaoqiang had almost wiped out the entire enemy team while firing under Gu Ran's cover.

Of course, Gu Ran deserves credit for this. If he hadn't used his Rinnegan to immobilize those armed men, Su Xiaoqiang wouldn't have been able to remain so composed.

The two were even more shocked to hear that Su Xiaoqiang was able to pet a lion, since lions are not known for their humanity.

Su Xiaoqiang also brought out an electronic photo album and showed them photos, including pictures of her playing with dolphins in the sea.

Both of them could see that the reason Su Xiaoqiang was able to play so happily with the animals was largely due to Gu Ran, who used his bloodline to intimidate the wild animals.

They might be able to do it too, but they wouldn't dare to try, and they couldn't be as composed as Gu Ran.

Chapter 591 The Wedding of the Century

Both Victoria and Isabelle can see from the lions' eyes in the photos that they truly submit to Gu Ran.

That was a pride of lions, not just one.

What kind of supreme power and strength must one possess to make a pride of lions submit?

Isabel and Victoria could hardly believe it; they only felt even greater awe for the Lionheart Society's president.

After dinner, Su Xiaoqiang went to wash the dishes, giving Gu Ran and the two others some space to talk about work.

The three sat down on the sofa in the living room, and Gu Ran made them some black tea: "Your rooms are in the apartment next door. They've been prepared, and you can open them with your room cards."

The apartment was arranged by the Japanese executive department, and Crow was still willing to do Gu Ran a favor for such a small matter.

Victoria picked up her black tea and took a sip. The way Chinese black tea is drunk is quite different from that of the British. British black tea is very strong and is served with sugar and milk, but Chinese black tea is brewed and drunk straight, and is more fragrant.

She felt that Chinese black tea was healthier, as it contained less milk and sugar, thus reducing calorie intake.

After taking a couple of sips of tea, she couldn't wait to ask, "Senior Gu, what is our mission?"

"Monitoring and recording are all you need to do as a freshman. As for Isabel, I may assign you some tasks that require assistance."

Gu Ran looked at the two of them wearing the school uniform skirts of Kassel College, and the half-decayed World Tree school emblem was really too eye-catching.

"By the way, don't you guys have regular clothes? We need to disguise ourselves and infiltrate for this operation, so we can't wear school uniforms. If you wear school uniforms among mixed-race people, it'll be as conspicuous as wearing a school uniform into an internet cafe."

"Can't we go into internet cafes wearing school uniforms?" Victoria had never been to an internet cafe in China, or even any internet cafe at all, and she asked, puzzled.

"Uh... not really." Gu Ran was too lazy to explain to them. "We have another day to prepare tomorrow. You can go shopping and buy some new clothes. Your attire should be casual but not in a way that will affect your combat ability. We'll set off on a mission the day after tomorrow."

"Mission location?" Isabel asked.

"I'll let you know when the time comes," Gu Ran said.

The two expressed their understanding, explaining that missions must be kept secret to prevent leaks, and therefore the details and location of the mission are usually only revealed at the very last moment.

After having a cup of tea, the two said goodbye and went to rest. Su Xiaoqiang happened to come out and made a fruit salad, which she gave to the two of them to take back to their room as dessert.

"Thank you, Miss Su," Isabel said politely.

"You're welcome."

After seeing off the two beauties from Kassel College, Su Xiaoqiang went to the sofa and pulled Gu Ran into her arms.

"Your school is really amazing. Every girl you walk out of is a stunning beauty. Luckily, I'm still pretty good-looking."

Gu Ran nestled in her soft embrace, turned to look at him, and immediately put on a wronged expression:

"Now you know how hard I had to endure at school! You have no idea, when I first entered school, those beautiful upperclassmen wore low-cut and leg-revealing clothes and flaunted themselves in front of me every day, constantly trying to lure me to their dorms. If I hadn't had enough self-control, I, I, my virginity would have been gone long ago, waaaaah!"

Su Xiaoqiang looked at his ingratiating expression and knew he was up to something, but it was truly admirable that he could resist the temptation.

So she said, "Okay, okay, here's a reward for you, alright?"

After enjoying it for a while, he looked up and said, "Not enough."

"Then what else do you want?"

"I want you!"

Su Xiaoqiang smiled gently: "But I was always yours!"

“Oh right…” Gu Ran seemed to suddenly realize something and sat up straight. “Then can I… do whatever I want to you?”

Before Su Xiaoqiang could even react, Gu Ran had already picked her up in a princess carry.

"What are you going to do?" Su Xiaoqiang asked, pinching his face with both hands.

"Of course, you can do whatever you want!"

Soon, he carried her upstairs to the bedroom and gently tossed her onto the bed.

Today, Su Xiaoqiang was wearing a white loungewear sundress with a hem that draped down to cover her calves, revealing her slender, fair ankles.

He knelt by the bed, gently grasped her ankle, and rubbed it for a while. Then he grabbed the hem of her skirt and slowly lifted it up, gradually exposing her long, white legs that had been covered by the skirt to the air.

Looking at her upper body, the strap of her skirt was askew, her clothes were disheveled, and her fair skin was like a soft, white cotton candy.

Seeing this, Su Xiaoqiang slid the cumbersome suspenders off her shoulders, removed all the clothes from her chest, and opened her arms to him, extending an invitation.

So he bent down and kissed her lips, and then, once again, took her.

*……*……*

The next day, Su Xiaoqiang took Victoria and Isabel shopping in Tokyo.

Women seem to have endless topics to talk about whenever they go shopping together, from the Hundred Herbs Garden to the Three Flavors Study.

In the end, the three of them bought a lot of clothes, and then toured around Tokyo, taking many beautiful photos.

Gu Ran acted as their driver, occasionally helping them carry their things. Overall, it was quite a sight to behold to see three beautiful women shopping together.

Another day later, the four of them took a plane to Shanghai and entered the country through normal channels.

"Can't I come along?" Su Xiaoqiang asked at the airport exit, she was very curious about the dragon-slaying story.

"Sweetie, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you then." Gu Ran patted her head. "Go to Nuwa's place for a few meals these days, and mooch off her a few more times."

"Understood." Su Xiaoqiang nodded.

Letting her freeload a meal isn't really about freeloading; it's about seeking protection from the goddess Nuwa.

The strongest person in the entire Shanghai city, besides Gu Ran, is Nuwa, and the strength she has shown is far more than what Gu Ran had seen before.

Su Xiaoqiang walked out of the airport, where a Porsche was waiting for her. It was Liu Miaomiao who came to pick her up.

Gu Ran waved to Liu Miaomiao as a greeting, and then led Isabel and Victoria to the open space of another terminal building.

“Don’t we have a car to pick us up?” Victoria asked.

"I was worried about traffic jams on the highway, so I arranged for other modes of transportation."

The three arrived at a helicopter landing pad, where a small helicopter was already waiting.

The helicopter took the three people to Yangcheng Lake in Kunshan.

It was just past noon, and the three of them hadn't had a chance to eat yet, so Gu Ran suggested, "Let's have lunch first. The hairy crabs here are delicious."

It's autumn, the harvest season for hairy crabs, when the crab roe and crab paste are at their fullest.

He led the two to a crab farm by a lake, but just as they were about to enter, the owner came out and was about to close the door.

The owner, seeing that they were tourists, reminded them, "Go eat somewhere else. There's a wedding of the century being held in Kunshan today, and all the crab farms by the lake have gone to join in the fun. They're all closed today."

"Oh...where is the wedding of the century being held?" Gu Ran asked.

"I heard it's at the dock... Actually, I don't know much about it. I didn't receive an invitation. I'm just going to join in the fun and make myself known." The boss was in his early forties and very talkative.

"To get familiar with him?" Gu Ran was a little puzzled, but continued to chat with the boss.

It turns out that a few days ago, a British Chinese named Zhao Xuzhen made the news. He plans to invest 120 billion RMB to vigorously develop Kunshan's aquaculture and chain catering industries, and to make Kunshan a world-class city.

Zhao Xuzhen also plans to marry a local wealthy woman named Jiang Wanzhi today. All the people invited are prominent figures in the area. As the owner of a small crab farm, he is not well-known and was not invited. So he wants to go and make a name for himself and pay his respects to the local tycoon so that it will be easier to do business in the future.

"Oh, I see. So, where should we go to eat crab if we want to?" Gu Ran still wanted to eat crab after the conversation.

"Oh, you can go to the seafood market by the lake. They have fresh crabs there and even cook them for you. But there are two places you shouldn't go to; they have shady shops that prey on tourists. The names of those two shops are..."

"Thank you, boss, you're so kind."

"Well, the main concern is that you've brought two foreign friends with you. I'm worried that the 'ghost scale' (a type of traditional Chinese weight-loss product) might embarrass us internationally. If this kind of cultural dross spreads abroad, it will damage Kunshan's reputation." The boss spoke frankly, showing a great sense of the bigger picture.

"Let's go, I'm going that way anyway, I'll take you to the market over there."

The boss invited Gu Ran and the two girls into his large Cayenne, drove them to a market 500 meters away, and brought up the ghost scale incident again, warning Gu Ran not to be fooled.

Victoria asked what "ghost scale" meant, and Gu Ran explained it to her.

Isabel, who was standing nearby, understood: "Just like those Gypsies who love to swindle money."

The three of them bought a dozen crabs at the market, four each, and found a nearby food stall to steam them for them. They also ordered a few stir-fried dishes to go with the rice.

Fresh hairy crabs are very sweet and delicious, with particularly plump crab roe and crab fat. Every bite is full of sweet crab meat. However, the crab legs and claws are a bit difficult to peel, making them a little troublesome to eat.

Victoria and Isabel were both captivated by the delicious taste of the hairy crabs, but dismantling them was a bit of a hassle.

After the three of them had eaten and drunk their fill, Gu Ran checked the time and saw it was almost four o'clock, so he paid the bill and found a park to sit down.
