Chapter 1449 Su Mu's Scheme

Luo Feng's expression shifted slightly as he read the message.

Su Mu is quick on his feet.

Not long after we parted ways, I received an invitation.

Moreover, their tone and wording were much more polite compared to when they were backstage.

The invitation also specifically mentioned Bai Ningbing and the children, clearly to dispel any lingering resentment Bai Ningbing might have, and to make the invitation seem more natural and less purposeful.

Otherwise, if Su Mu only invited Luo Feng, wouldn't that seem too blatant?

When a man and a woman are alone in a room, it's hard not to make people think.

Moreover, Luo Feng is very likely not to agree.

Even if he wanted to agree in his heart, Bai Ningbing wouldn't let him.

Of course, this last sentence was Su Mu's own thought.

In her heart, her own beauty surpassed that of any other woman beside Luo Feng.

As a celebrity, you certainly have that kind of confidence.

It's worth mentioning that many female celebrities are quite narcissistic, believing that men should revolve around women.

This has led to more and more men becoming aware of the situation, with some even considering remaining unmarried for life.

"Who is it?" Bai Ningbing asked.

"Su Mu".

Luo Feng handed over the phone, shaking his head and smiling. "They invited us to have lunch at Kerrygans tomorrow at noon, saying it's as an apology and a way of thanking us."

After reading it, Bai Ningbing smiled and said, "Kerigans? Did I hear that right?"

Kerrygans is a six-star hotel, and its chain hotels are all five-star standard.

Su Mu treating them to dinner here is practically a huge expense for him.

Don't let the young age of Luo Feng's group of kids fool you; they all have big appetites, after all, they're at the age where they're growing.

"She certainly knows how to choose a location. The environment there is elegant, with good privacy, and the food is top-notch. She's really sincere."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Luo Feng and asked, "What do you think? Are you going?"

Luo Feng paused for a moment, then fell into deep thought.

He had originally intended to find an opportunity to talk to Su Mu and Lin Naizi about what happened tonight.

Did these two women play him for a fool?

Su Mu is one thing, but why is Lin Naizi also helping her to mess with herself?
Or is there another reason?

Thanatos's unusual behavior also made him think that perhaps he could learn some information from Su Mu indirectly.
Although Su Mu may not have known, the fact that Lin Naizi arranged the seating through her makes it seem like this wasn't just a simple entertainment event.

Moreover, the other party has already invited the whole family, so it wouldn't seem very polite to refuse directly.

"Go."

Luo Feng made his decision; he had already thought it through.

Su Mu's invitation to him this time must have some ulterior motive.

"Let's see what else she wants to say."

"Besides, Kerrygans is really good, it's good to take the kids to try it out."

That's right, Luo Feng definitely came here for the restaurant, not because of Kerrigan's.

"Okay." Bai Ningbing nodded in agreement.

Since Luo Feng has said so, she won't refute him.

Luo Feng picked up his phone and replied.

"Miss Su, you're too kind. We'll be there on time tomorrow at noon in Kerrygans."

Messages are replied to almost instantly.

"Great! Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow! Goodnight!"

Seeing the other party's enthusiasm, Luo Feng's lips curled into a playful smile.

This woman is interesting.

He put his phone away and instructed Zeng Fan in the front row, "Zeng Fan, adjust the schedule for tomorrow noon. Go to Kerrygans; Su Mu invited us."

"Strengthen security measures to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation and causing trouble."

"Understood, boss," Zeng Fan replied immediately.

Then, he went to make arrangements for tomorrow.

Actually, there was something he had always wanted to tell Luo Feng.

That is, when to take action against Thanatos.

But considering that Thanatos had also been causing trouble for Luo Feng, he still felt that perhaps staying by Luo Feng's side was an opportunity.

The vehicle drove smoothly on its way home.

The neon lights outside the window flashed by.

Luo Feng leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and quickly sorted through everything that had happened that night.

Su Mu's deliberate arrangements, Lin Naizi's behind-the-scenes information, Thanatos's potential threat, and this unexpected dinner party...

What is the connection between these two things?
He opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in them before being concealed by calm.

He gently pulled Bai Ningbing into his arms, letting her lean on his shoulder.

"Take a rest if you're tired. I'll wake you up when we get home."

No matter what storms lie ahead, his first priority is to protect the most important people around him.

Tomorrow's dinner party will be a matter of responding to whatever comes our way.

If all else fails, we still have a trump card.

But he didn't want to reveal it too early.

She snuggled closer to Luo Feng, her voice as soft as a feather.

"I have a feeling that this meal is not so simple. Su Mu's eyes look warm, but there is a kind of tenacity hidden in them, as if he has some kind of conspiracy."

Luo Feng lowered his head and rubbed the top of her head, looking at her furrowed brows, and said with a smile.

"Whatever her intentions, let's treat the kids to a good meal and get to the bottom of things. If she tries anything funny, we're not going to take it lying down."

As he spoke, he glanced at the little guy sleeping soundly in the back seat.

Tingting was still holding the autographed album that Su Mu had given her. Her brows were furrowed, and she couldn't help but smile as she dreamt of some lively scene.

These little guys are so cute.

Zeng Fan's voice came from the front, very low.

"Boss, I've checked with Kerrygans. Besides our reservation, there's an anonymous private room for tomorrow noon, but I can't find the specific guest."

"I've already had my men set up a checkpoint in advance, and I've assigned people to every entrance and exit."

"okay."

Luo Feng responded, inhaling the fragrant scent of Bai Ningbing's hair.

"Keep a close eye on the kitchen and corridors to prevent anyone from tampering with the food or the route."

"Also, we need to have our own people check the children's tableware and food to make sure there are no problems."

Luo Feng has always been very cautious about anything that enters his mouth.

Bai Ningbing couldn't help but laugh.

"You're being too cautious." "Better safe than sorry."

Luo Feng squeezed her hand. "Since the people of Thanatos have set their sights on us, they won't let go easily."

"Su Mu's dinner party might just have given them an opportunity."

As they were talking, the phone vibrated again. It was another message from Su Mu, along with a photo of the Kerrygans private room.

The window seats offer a view of the river, and an elegant fruit platter sample is displayed on the table. The caption reads, "I specifically chose a private room with a river view; the kids should love it."

Luo Feng raised an eyebrow and replied simply.

"Thank you for your trouble."

Why exactly did Lin Naizi help Su Mu keep this from him? Besides wanting to generate buzz and secure collaborations, did Su Mu have any other motives?

"What are you thinking about?"

Bai Ningbing noticed that he was distracted.

"I miss Rinnako."

Luo Feng frankly admitted, "She never does anything meaningless. There must be a reason why she arranged this for Su Mu."

"If I see Su Mu tomorrow, I might be able to get some information out of her."

He originally wanted to ask Rinnako directly, but he gave up on that idea.

If a woman has thoughts she wants to share with him, she won't remain silent; she will take the initiative to speak.

"Don't you think Su Mu invited him too hastily?"

Bai Ningbing spoke very softly, as if afraid of waking the children who were already asleep in the back seat.

"It's normal to be in a hurry."

Luo Feng smiled, but there was no real smile in his eyes. "She and Lin Naizi conspired to set up this trap, there has to be a follow-up. Besides..."

He paused, then gave a cold laugh.

“Now that the people of Thanatos have left their mark, they won’t retreat easily.”

"This connection with Su Mu might lead to something."

"That's true." Bai Ningbing nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Soon, the car entered the villa area.

The familiar streetlights illuminated the path in front of the door.

Luo Feng changed locations and no longer stayed at the previous hotel.

On the one hand, it was because of Boss Lei that the people at the hotel were all a little uncomfortable.

Luo Feng didn't want to embarrass them either.

On the other hand, Thanatos already knew about this place, so it was no longer safe.

Zeng Fan got out of the car first, checked the car around, and then gestured for Luo Feng and the others to get out.

Luo Feng carefully picked up Tingting from the back seat. The little girl whimpered twice, snuggled into his arms, and mumbled something.

"Uncle, I want to hear you sing again..."

He chuckled and patted her on the back, "Okay, I'll sing it for you when we get home."

Bai Ningbing, holding another child, followed behind and said softly, "Don't ask too directly when we eat tomorrow, so as not to alert them."

"Su Mu is so shrewd. If you push her too hard, she'll just keep things to herself."

"I know."

Luo Feng pushed open the door. The lights were on inside, and the aunt had already prepared warm water.

"Let's sound her out first and see if she knows anything about Thanatos."

“If she doesn’t know anything, then I have to go and find out from Lin Naoko myself.”

After settling the children in, Luo Feng sat on the sofa in the living room. After thinking for a moment, he took the initiative to send a text message to Lin Naizi.

"It's Kerrygans's party tomorrow at noon, hosted by Su Mu. Do you want to come?"

It took quite a while for Lin Naoko to reply.

"No, I have something else to do."

"Keep a close eye on Su Mu; she's not as simple as you think."

Luo Feng frowned as he looked at the text message.

Lin Naizi's words were ambiguous. Was she reminding him that Su Mu had bad intentions, or was she implying that there was another hidden story behind her?

Bai Ningbing walked over with a glass of warm water and handed it to him.

"Don't think about it anymore, you'll know when you meet tomorrow."

"But you, you made such a splash tonight, you're sure to be the butt of jokes at the company tomorrow."

Luo Feng took the water glass, took a sip, and smiled.

"Teasing is fine, I'm not in the entertainment industry anyway."

"By the way, if you come with me tomorrow, won't we get photographed by reporters?"

"If you can take a picture, you can take a picture."

Bai Ningbing sat down next to him, took his arm, and smiled sweetly, "I'm your woman. What's there to be afraid of when I'm having dinner with you?"

"Besides, Su Mu specifically invited me. If I don't go, it would make us seem guilty."

Seeing her composed demeanor, Luo Feng's doubts lessened considerably.

No matter what awaits them tomorrow, as long as they have people around them, they have nothing to fear.

He put down his water glass, pulled Bai Ningbing close, and let her lean against him: "Get some rest, there's a tough battle to fight tomorrow."

He wanted to see what Su Mu was really up to, and whether Thanatos's men would actually dare to make a move in Kerrigans.

Life and death are bearish, if you don't agree, just do it.

Luo Feng sneered. No matter who it was, if they dared to touch his family, they shouldn't blame him for being impolite.

The next day at noon, just as the concierge at the Kerrygans Hotel was about to open the car door, Zeng Fan had already stepped in front of the car to block it.

He only allowed them to pass after confirming it was safe.

Luo Feng carried Tingting, who had just woken up and was still rubbing her eyes, out of the car.

Bai Ningbing followed beside another child, who craned his neck curiously to look at the crystal chandelier at the hotel entrance and whispered, "Auntie, the lights here are brighter than the ones at home!"

"Yes, there's an even better river view later." Bai Ningbing smiled and patted her head.

As soon as I entered the lobby, I saw Su Mu standing at the elevator entrance wearing a beige dress. Without the heavy makeup she wore on stage, her complexion looked even more delicate.

She was carrying several small bags with cartoon patterns on them, and she immediately greeted them with a smile when she saw them coming.

"Mr. Luo, Sister Ningbing, good morning, children."

She first squatted down and handed the small bag to the children.

"There are gummy candies and small toys inside. You can open them when it's time to eat."

Tingting's eyes lit up. She secretly glanced at Luo Feng, and only after seeing him nod did she take the bag and whisper, "Thank you, Sister Su Mu."

Su Mu smiled and ruffled her hair. As he stood up, his eyes glanced intentionally or unintentionally at Zeng Fan behind Luo Feng, as well as several figures in the distance who appeared to be guests. His smile remained unchanged.
