"Yes!"
Xiao Arno agreed immediately.
After finishing this matter, Lu Yang went to his room to cultivate. He cultivated until 6 PM. Lu Yang only opened his eyes from cultivation when Shen Yiman called him.
"Vice President Lu, I'm outside your villa. Hurry up and open the door!"
Shen Yiman said into the phone.
"Wait a moment!"
Lu Yang hung up the phone, put on his clothes, and prepared to go eat with Shen Yiman.
However, Shen Yiman didn't intend to leave. Instead, she ran directly into the villa and plopped onto the sofa.
"Ah, Cloudtop Villa is so comfortable!"
"How about I host a party here another day? Can you lend me the villa?"
Lu Yang asked with a smile.
"You?"
"Don't joke. You don't even know anyone in Jiangbei City. What kind of party are you hosting?"
Lu Yang shrugged.
"Can't I invite people from our company?"
"Stingy, if you don't lend it to me, so be it!"
Shen Yiman pouted, her expression disdainful.
"Haha, if you invite company people, I'll lend it to you, no matter how long. But we have important business to attend to now. It's already 6:30!"
Lu Yang looked at the time and said with a smile.
"That's right, let's go quickly!"
After all, Cloudtop Villa was still some distance from the restaurant. Shen Yiman quickly drove her Ferrari and took Lu Yang to the private restaurant.
A private restaurant is essentially a small, high-end restaurant where each dish is prepared by a professional chef using unique cooking techniques.
This private restaurant in Jiangbei City specializes in pufferfish.
As everyone knows, pufferfish meat is incredibly delicious, but it also contains deadly poison. To eat high-quality pufferfish without getting poisoned requires exceptional culinary skills. The chefs at this private restaurant are all hired from abroad at high salaries, and their cooking techniques are top-notch.
Half an hour later, Shen Yiman's Ferrari stopped in front of the private restaurant. A tall, handsome foreigner stood there. Upon seeing Shen Yiman get out of the car, he immediately stepped forward and gave her a big hug.
"My dear Man, it's so good to see you!"
This foreigner spoke Chinese very well. It was evident that he had studied Chinese professionally.
Lu Yang observed the foreigner and noticed a strange aura about him.
"Jack, long time no see!"
Shen Yiman gave the foreigner a brief hug and then let go.
"Let's go, hurry inside. The dishes have already been ordered!"
Jack said as he ushered Shen Yiman inside, completely ignoring Lu Yang, who was following behind Shen Yiman.
Lu Yang followed silently, saying nothing.
There were only three people in the private room. Jack sat next to Shen Yiman, constantly serving her food and talking profusely about their good times in the United States. Shen Yiman would occasionally respond but didn't seem very engaged.
At this moment, Jack suddenly took out a diamond ring and knelt on one knee in front of Shen Yiman.
"My dear Man, I've loved you for five years. I've flown all the way from the United States to Jiangbei City specifically to pursue you. I hope you can give me this chance!"
Jack's sudden move startled Shen Yiman.
Fortunately, Shen Yiman had brought Lu Yang with her, otherwise, she wouldn't have known how to handle the situation.
Shen Yiman glanced at Lu Yang, seeking his help.
Lu Yang stood up, took the diamond ring from Jack's hand, examined it closely, and smiled, saying, "Such a large diamond ring, probably worth over a hundred thousand. Mr. Jack is quite generous!"
"Over a hundred thousand? You truly understand nothing. This is a pink diamond, a rare gem among diamonds, worth three million US dollars!"
Jack said with a cold smile, looking at Lu Yang as if he were a country bumpkin.
"Three million, in US dollars? It's clear that Mr. Jack is very good to Yiman, offering such a precious gift!"
"Then I will accept it on Yiman's behalf. Let me say this, I am Yiman's boyfriend!"
Lu Yang pocketed the pink diamond and said with a smile.
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Jack's expression changed instantly. He hadn't expected the young man in front of him to be Shen Yiman's boyfriend. He had only assumed he was a bodyguard or a driver.
"Man, you... aren't you single?"
Jack immediately looked at Shen Yiman and asked.
"I was single before, but last night, I and Lu Yang..."
Shen Yiman blushed as she spoke.
"Mr. Jack, receiving such a valuable gift from you makes me feel a bit uneasy. How about this, I'll treat you to dinner today. Order whatever you like, and if you want to drink, I'll join you for a drink!"
Lu Yang continued.
Hearing Shen Yiman and Lu Yang's words, Jack's face turned dark. He stood up from the floor, looking down at Lu Yang and Shen Yiman.
"Shen Yiman, I flew from the United States to China to propose to you, and you already have a boyfriend. You truly give me no face!"
"Since that's the case, I won't pretend anymore!"
"Tonight, you must be mine. Even if you've already been with this damned guy, I still want to thoroughly enjoy you!"
Jack's eyes revealed a devilish smile as he spoke.
"Jack, how could you say something like that?"
Hearing this, Shen Yiman's expression changed instantly. In her memory, Jack had always been polite. Even if they couldn't be boyfriend and girlfriend, they could still be friends. But the current Jack saying such words made Shen Yiman disbelieve her own ears.
"I originally wanted something fresh. After all, I haven't dated anyone for so many years, and you are my favorite Eastern woman. I happen to have a mission here this time, so I just wanted to have some fun with you!"
"I didn't expect you to find a man to reject me. Since that's the case, don't blame me. The women I've had, their final outcome is only one: death. Tonight, I will make you die slowly in fear!"
Jack's expression turned ice-cold to the extreme, and his killing intent surged. Lu Yang could already sense that this Jack was no ordinary person, but a killer. Only killers would have such a strong killing intent.
Shen Yiman, an ordinary person, was instantly paralyzed with fear on her seat by Jack's killing intent, unable to utter a single word.
"Killer?"
Lu Yang sensed the killing intent from Jack and said in a cold tone.
"Kid, it seems you're not ordinary either. You can actually see my identity. But what does that matter? My strength is beyond your imagination!"
"Originally, this had nothing to do with you, but you insisted on getting involved, so don't blame me!"
"I will give you the most painful death, so you'll remember your actions today forever. In your next life, remember to open your eyes properly. Not everyone can be offended!"
Jack looked at Lu Yang and said with a cold smile. With a casual lift of his hand, a hidden weapon from his sleeve flew towards Lu Yang.
