"All of them killed?"

"Yes."

"Do you feel like you've unleashed a demon?"

Jiang Chen, who had already returned to Tokyo, picked up his chopsticks to eat ramen, responding simply.

"Special circumstances, special measures."

These seemingly offhand four words carried thick bloodshed and many vibrant lives, almost exuding a tragic scent.

The emergency repairs at the nuclear plant were in full swing.

To compensate for a historic mistake, countless lives would be sacrificed, but this was the price the Japanese had to pay.

Cao Jinse was certainly not a saint with a Bodhisattva's heart, feeling no sympathy.

After all, Jiuding Group had already withdrawn from Yingdong Electric Power, and the matters of Yingdong Electric Power had nothing to do with her anymore, giving her no qualification to intervene.

"Prince Wataru Tetsuya's assassination? Does she have anything to do with it?"

"I was at the scene when Wataru Tetsuya was assassinated. It was an old Fukushima fisherman who couldn't take it anymore due to family reasons, so he went to extremes. It's been reported in the news, and she probably has little to do with it."

Jiang Chen stuck to the facts, purely based on the clues, "She also has no reason to attack Wataru Tetsuya."

Cao Jinse nodded, "This noodle is quite chewy."

"Did you hear that? Complimenting your restaurant's flavor."

Jiang Chen turned his head and looked beside him.

A guy wearing a chef's hat just came out from the back kitchen.

"Hehe, of course, I went for a spin this time, had an epiphany, and came back to improve the recipe."

Cui Wen wiped his hands on his apron, "Where's Fang Qing? Why didn't she come along?"

Though the question was aimed at Jiang Chen, his little eyes kept glancing at Cao Jinse's face as she ate her noodle.

Those familiar with Miss Cao are often captivated by her outstanding talents, often overlooking that she is actually a great beauty with matching good looks.

On the other hand, unfamiliar people often notice her external advantages first.

"Fang Qing is at work."

Fang Qing, Bai Zheli, and the others are quite busy.

"When did you get back?"

"Last week, went out for a spin based on your and Fang Qing's suggestion, definitely feeling refreshed, and more energetic for work now. Oh, Jiang Chen, thanks to you for reminding me not to get caught up in it. I swear, I'll never touch stocks again in my life. When it rises, it's fierce; God knows falling feels like heaven and hell. It's really a trap for greenhorns."

The noodle-eating Cao Jinse was amused.

"This is my friend, Miss Cao; this is the owner of this noodle shop, fellow Shen Zhou countryman, Cui Wen."

Jiang Chen introduced.

This was the moment Cui Wen was waiting for, immediately naturally turning his head to look at the great beauty sitting there.

Without mentioning anything else.

Just look at this aura.

He had seen lots of people and had a bustling shop every day, but no one could match her.

"Miss Cao, welcome to my humble shop. I'm a classmate from the same high school as Jiang Chen and Fang Qing, currently 24 years old, unmarried, dated twice, the first time in college..."

"Are you selling noodles or selling yourself?"

Jiang Chen interrupted.

"Look at the way you talk, I'm trying to make it easier for Miss Cao to know me. I'm not only good at cooking but also very romantic, always willing to carefully prepare gifts for girls on holidays..."

Jiang Chen was amused and helpless but didn't interrupt his self-promotion further.

"If it's really as you said, you should have dated more than twice."

Cao Jinse joined in, her smile peaceful, polite, graceful, and elegant.

Running a noodle shop resembling a small business owner, Cui Wen certainly had no idea whom he was joking with, but through her response, he realized even more the unusualness of this beauty.

She quickly found the contradiction in his words, how swift-thinking.

"That's right."

He was tired of standing, so he pulled out a chair to sit down, after all, he was the owner, needing nobody's permission.

"These qualities of mine are often recognized only after getting to know me, just like Miss Cao, you noticed, I'm not striking, and it's slow for girls to think of further contact."

Jiang Chen couldn't stop smiling.

People consider his skin thick, but look, there's no shortage of outgoing and cheerful fellows out there.

"I don't think Cui Wen looks bad."

Cao Jinse wasn't naturally introverted, smiling as she scrutinized Cui Wen's face.

Cui Wen indeed wasn't ugly, perhaps not handsome, but obviously above average, and regarding his clean face, it surely must make many girls struggling with skin issues envious.

"Snap!"

Cui Wen slapped his thigh, "Miss Cao, you have an eye for things."

Cao Jinse certainly underestimated his comedic talent, her smile deepening.

Then Cui Wen sighed, "But compared to Jiang Chen, I'm still a bit lacking, Miss Cao, do you know the pain of having your looks suppressed by someone else?"

He looked at Cao Jinse's face, "No, you probably never have the chance to understand."

Cao Jinse glanced at Jiang Chen, first gave him a signal through her eyes: Your classmate is something else, and then said, "I think you are more handsome than him."

Cui Wen instantly perked up.

"Really?"

Cao Jinse nodded, "And you're good at cooking, your noodle is probably way better than his."

Cui Wen's eyes lit up, "After so many years, finally someone gets me. Miss Cao, from today onward, you'll eat for free at my place for life."

Lifetime free?

Is that the advantage of being a beauty?

"As an old classmate, Fang Qing and I don't get such treatment. Cui Wen, isn't that a bit out of line?"
