Chapter 750: Chapter 376 Open and Secret Struggles (Five-in-One)_4
"That’s really a shame."
Su Ming replied with great regret.
Afterwards, the two of them ate in silence, with Su Ming occasionally glancing at Irelia.
Iremiya also raised her eyebrows slightly.
After a long while, when they had almost finished eating, Irelia checked the time on her wristband and stood up to bid farewell to Su Ming.
"Su Ming, junior, thank you for your hospitality. I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave now."
"Alright, take care."
Su Ming replied politely.
Irelia nodded slightly and then turned to leave.
At this moment, Su Ming suddenly called out.
"Wait a minute, senior!"
Irelia halted her steps instantly, took a deep breath, and slowly turned around to look at Su Ming.
"Junior, is there something else?"
"Senior, could you give me a contact method?"
Su Ming asked with a smile.
Irelia gazed steadily at Su Ming and said calmly.
"Alright!"
Su Ming suddenly felt uneasy, as if he had gone too far.
However, he could only muster the courage and say.
"Senior, go ahead, I’ll note it down."
"6120...."
Irelia recited a series of numbers..
"Got it."
"Then I’m leaving."
"I’ll see you out!"
Su Ming replied eagerly.
"No need."
Irelia turned around and left directly.
Watching Irelia’s departing figure, Su Ming smiled and then called out.
"Check, please!"
...
A moment later, Su Ming came out of the restaurant, hands behind his back and in high spirits, weaving through the bustling streets towards the Night Banquet Hall.
It was then that Su Ming keenly sensed someone was following him, so he changed his path, heading to a less crowded street.
He twisted and turned, finally ducking into an inconspicuous alley.
At this moment, a middle-aged man in a gray trench coat and a hat followed him in, only to bump right into Su Ming.
The middle-aged man was instantly stunned, just about to speak.
Su Ming pushed off the ground with the tip of his foot, swiftly like the wind, attacked the middle-aged man, his right hand forming a fist and striking sharply.
The middle-aged man immediately raised his arm to block!
Crack!
With a crisp sound of bone breaking, the middle-aged man staggered back frantically, his face twisting with extreme pain.
Su Ming’s eyes were icy as he lunged forward.
"Stop, don’t hit anymore!"
The middle-aged man’s expression changed drastically and he shouted.
Su Ming, hearing the man’s plea, stopped and coldly asked.
"Who are you? Why are you following me?"
"Mr. Su Ming, please don’t misunderstand, I mean no harm. The reason I’m following you is because my lord wishes to meet you."
The middle-aged man spoke enduring the pain.
"Who is your lord?"
Su Ming squinted his eyes and asked.
"I cannot say, but I’m sure you know him, please come with me."
The middle-aged man said earnestly to Su Ming.
After some consideration, Su Ming finally said.
"Alright, lead the way!"
"Great, please come with me."
The middle-aged man was overjoyed and quickly led Su Ming away.
Before long, the middle-aged man took Su Ming to the front of an unremarkable private residence.
The entire residence was not large, with a small yard outside and a two-and-a-half-story villa inside.
This entire area was filled with similar private residences.
The middle-aged man knocked on the door rhythmically, sometimes hard, sometimes soft.
Creak!
The door opened immediately.
A fairly young maid bowed respectfully to Su Ming.
"Please come in, my lord has been waiting for quite some time."
Su Ming walked in expressionlessly.
The maid led Su Ming through the courtyard and into the villa, reaching the hall.
In the spacious hall, there was a tea table, and sitting at the table was a middle-aged man.
Upon seeing the person waiting, a look of surprise crossed Su Ming’s face, and he greeted respectfully.
"Lord Omid."
The middle-aged man was none other than Shadler’s father, Omid.
"Mr. Su Ming, please sit down!"
Omid said politely to Su Ming.
"Alright!"
Su Ming then walked up to Omid and sat down.
Omid picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Su Ming before speaking.
"I’m sorry, Mr. Su Ming, for inviting you over in this manner, it’s indeed a bit abrupt."
"I understand, but I don’t know, Lord Omid, what is your purpose for inviting me here?" ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Su Ming replied calmly.
Omid looked at Su Ming seriously and said.
"Mr. Su Ming, let’s be frank, the reason you’re getting close to my son is probably at the Federation’s behest, right?"
Upon hearing Omid’s words, Su Ming felt a bit helpless. Did this guy misunderstand something? His approach to Shadler was purely coincidental.
Are these princes always pondering those conspiracy theories, overthinking things?
Seeing Su Ming silent, Omid smiled and said.
"Mr. Su Ming, please don’t be nervous, I’m not here to question you, I just hope you can help introduce the Federation to me."
Upon hearing Omid’s words, Su Ming’s thoughts spun rapidly, and then he laughed wryly and said.
"There’s really nothing that escapes Lord Omid, but I’m a bit confused. The Federation’s envoy team is right at the Twin Hotel, why not visit them directly?"
Su Ming did not agree to Omid’s request directly, but instead questioned him.
Faced with Su Ming’s question, Omid showed no displeasure but explained seriously.
"That’s because I don’t trust them, I only trust you. Although you approached my son with a purpose, it’s precisely because of your presence that my son survived."
"Thank you for your trust, Lord Omid, but I’m curious, why do you suddenly want to contact the Federation? Is it for the Star Storage this time, to compete for the position of Crown Prince? If I recall correctly, you have always been one who doesn’t compete."
