Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter-Chapter 498 - 245: A Special Family Dinner_2

Chapter 498: Chapter 245: A Special Family Dinner_2
"What does this have to do with us?"
Luo Fei was momentarily confused.
He was Yang Mei’s boyfriend, and Zhao Donglai was Yang Mei’s uncle. On their side, one was at the son-in-law level, the other was from the bride’s family. The groom’s side had nothing to do with them.
Isn’t it normal for both sides to sit down and have a meal together?
"There’s a hidden situation here that you’re not quite aware of. In short, the circumstances at that time might not be very suitable. Try to help me cover it up; we mustn’t lose face."
With Zhao Donglai’s reminder, Luo Fei was even more puzzled.
What does this have to do with face?
"Oh well, let me just tell you straight."
"Yang Mei’s father, my brother-in-law, is the eldest in the family. In their Yang family generation, there are also two younger brothers."
"Currently, the third one lives out of town, and the second one lives in Jiangzhou City, which is Yang Mei’s second uncle!"
"Her second uncle and cousin should also be coming. These two are not easy to deal with. In the past, Yang Mei’s father always played the decision-maker’s role in the family. But her second uncle and cousin are restless, constantly thinking of competing."
"This time, they might plan to ridicule us at the table. Family matters like this are hard to handle, we need to keep it together."
Luo Fei laughed out loud.
He thought it was some big deal, but it turned out to be just a small issue.
Family matters are something every family has to face, let alone these unavoidable small incidents among relatives.
Unexpectedly, Captain Zhao, who handles unit matters swiftly and decisively, appears so clumsy with issues like this.
"Leave it to me, I won’t embarrass us."
Hearing Luo Fei say this, Zhao Donglai instantly showed a look of joy on his face. With those words from the other party, he felt reassured, and the two of them then feasted openheartedly.
After eating, Luo Fei returned to his dormitory when suddenly, the sound of the system echoed in his mind.
"Ding, congratulations host!"
"Rewards have been issued. The elevator hostage case, cross-province pursuit of a major human trafficking case, underground garage murder case, and the falling death case are all solved. 15,000 gold coins have been credited."
Good! Just in time!
Luo Fei immediately opened the store; it had been a while since he had researched his special talents and tools.
"Let me see what to buy this time."
"Space Qualities Talent Max Level (6000 gold coins), Top Tier Negotiation Talent Max Level (6000 gold coins), Smart Brain Computation Talent Max Level (8000 gold coins), Physical Strengthening Adaptation Talent Max Level (9000 gold coins), Psychological Deciphering Talent Max Level (9000 gold coins)"
"Super Store Upgrade Package (30,000 gold coins)"
This time was quite profitable, so he could carefully choose two skills.
"These two then, Top Tier Negotiation Talent Max Level!"
"And Physical Strengthening Adaptation Talent Max Level."
Expensive for a reason. Together, these two talent skills perfectly spent all 15,000 gold coins.
Luo Fei closed his eyes tightly, feeling changes happening all over his body, as the Physical Strengthening Adaptation was adapting to his physique.
Said to be the ultimate max level for physical strengthening adaptation, it means under extreme conditions, it can quickly strengthen certain fixed cells and muscle tissues, including bones and some soft tissues, to adapt to the harsh environment at the time.
High temperatures, extreme cold, these can all be adapted to immediately...
Even the outer skin can temporarily strengthen! The effect is obvious.
The utility of this capability is quite significant in daily life, especially during case resolutions.
While his fighting skills were already unbeatable, if he encountered a thug with a weapon, he still had to find a way to avoid them.
Luo Fei seized the opportunity and suddenly struck the table corner beside him; the skin on his elbow immediately hardened.
Clang—
After a crisp sound, everything fell silent, seemingly nothing had happened.
Thick calluses accumulated on the subcutaneous surface, and although the force was not small, he was unharmed, not even feeling a bit of pain.
As the skin healed, Luo Fei nodded in satisfaction.
The adaptation capability is indeed strong, and there’s more to be explored in the future.
As for the Top Tier Negotiation Talent, eloquence? Persuasion? Speech? Or inducement?
Luo Fei, who had never dabbled in this area, was a bit skeptical, but now that he had mastered it, he figured he would research it slowly.
If it could really aid him in negotiations, it would undoubtedly be a trump card!
Being able to pinpoint an opponent’s sore spot with words in a short time and convince them, how many timely disasters and crimes could that reduce?
For example, on the rooftop earlier, if he could have persuaded Chu Sihan immediately, perhaps the later events wouldn’t have occurred.
Next, what he needed to prepare for was attending this not-so-simple family banquet.
It’s never wrong to prepare in advance.
Just right to take this opportunity to see what level Yang Mei’s second uncle and cousin are at?
The day came soon enough.
For this, Luo Fei set off a day early, returning to his home.
Wu Yan was overjoyed to see her son return, preparing delicious food and buying all sorts of things for him. As a mother, the rare occasions she busied herself were wholly for her children.
Luo Hao and Luo Xiaoxiao were ecstatic to see their brother at home.
The whole family chatted and caught up with each other warmly.
The long-awaited warmth made Luo Fei feel extremely comfortable. Constantly investigating and solving cases outside made him a little mentally tense, and only in such an environment could he completely relax.
"Son, you said you planned to attend Yang Mei’s family’s banquet tomorrow? We must prepare gifts well."
"Don’t worry, Mom, I’ve got it all ready."
"That’s not enough; let Mom give you some extra money. Such matters shouldn’t be handled stingily."
Luo Fei smiled and smoothed things over.
"Mom, I really don’t need it, I have everything prepared."
"Besides, I’m not short of money now, and I won’t make trouble on such issues."
Wu Yan urged a couple more times, and on the side, Luo Hao came up to him.
"Bro, tell me, do you have special abilities?"
Luo Fei was puzzled by this sudden question.
Why bring this up out of the blue? He was a bit confused.
"Last time we had a video call, how did you know I went to play basketball? Come on, tell me you learned some special ability?"
"Teach me, please."
Looking at his brother’s endearing demeanor, Luo Fei couldn’t help laughing.
So that was the matter!
At the time, he had just acquired the profiling talent, magnifying clues in slight details to reconstruct the truth of recent events.
He didn’t expect this little trick to look so miraculous to the other party!
Leaving the little guy awestruck...
Luo Fei then explained to his brother that it was a necessary means for his detective work and nothing to be surprised about.
Luo Hao listened seriously, nodding his head in determination as if he were set to join the force and endure trials.
"So amazing, I must become a police officer too in the future; this skill is too incredible."
Luo Xiaoxiao, standing beside, interrupted.
"It’s that our brother is amazing, not the skills. Even if you became one, it wouldn’t work; you could never be more amazing than our brother."
Luo Fei laughed heartily and then continued to call the family for a meal.
The next day, Luo Fei brought the things as scheduled.
As he reached the doorstep, Zhao Yulan and Yang Tianyong both came out to greet him. Both of them were so kind to Luo Fei, especially Zhao Yulan, who was increasingly fond of this son-in-law.
"Oh, you came, why bring anything? This is a family banquet; next time, don’t bother with this."
"Yes, your aunt’s right, treat this as your own home, being so polite feels like a stranger."
Luo Fei was welcomed inside the house by them just like that.
Yang Mei was arranging a fruit plate. Seeing Luo Fei, she immediately stood up, and the moment their eyes met, a thick air of affection permeated between them.
Zhao Yulan conveniently dragged her husband away to not disrupt the couple’s space.
This time Luo Fei proactively approached, pulling the other close in an embrace.
Longing fulfilled, only by this moment’s meeting.
