At the moment, Bai Chen was feeling helpless. He never thought Long Xu In would not buy a cheap phone for him.
Instead, she had bought him such an expensive phone worth many thousand yuan, which was the iPhone.
He looked at the iPhone sitting on a table in front of him and let out a sigh. Finally, he put it in his pocket.
He was now sitting in a relatively expensive restaurant which was on the first floor of Xing Yuan Department Store.
It had been 30 minutes since Long Xu In had taken Bai Chen to buy his phone. After they were done, she had brought him to this restaurant for a meal because she had not eaten since morning.
“Why is she taking so long in the restroom?” Bai Chen said to himself when he had not seen Long Xu In return from the restroom.
In fact, she had excused herself to go to the restroom since they’d arrived. It had been almost ten minutes already.
But perhaps it was like the old saying that if you thought of someone, they would appear; Long Xu In finally returned.
However, she did not come back alone. With her came a middle-aged man and a woman.
They were both well-dressed. The man wore an expensive suit and the woman was also dressed that made clear her status as an upper-class lady.
Both of their faces, even in their middle age, still showed how good-looking they were.
Yet, the middle-aged woman’s face looked somewhat thin and pale.
In Bai Chen’s eyes, she must have some kind of horrible disease.
While he was looking at Long Xu In and the middle-aged couple walking together, the mission dashboard window appeared in front of him with a green arrow pointing at the middle-aged lady.

“I can’t believe that the middle-aged woman the mission said I would accidentally meet would be brought to me by Long Xu In.”
He could not help but mutter out loud after looking at the mission window of Mission 15 with a green arrow pointing at the middle-aged woman.
Meanwhile, he clicked the window closed, which was at the same time that Long Xu In and the middle-aged couple reached the table.
If this had been the 18-year-old him in the previous life, Bai Chen would have surely panicked and not known what to do if he were to meet such a good looking and well-dressed middle-aged couple like these two.
Unfortunately, now he had already turned into a 30-year-old uncle, so he did not panic at all.
“Bai Chen, let me introduce you. These are Uncle Tang Zi Cheng and Auntie Tang Yien. The two of them are my acquaintances.”
Long Xu In invited both to sit down before introducing them. She pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses she was wearing a little before sitting down on a chair next to him.
The tables at this restaurant each had four seats, so now the middle-aged couple was sitting on the opposite side from him and Long Xu In.
Bai Chen said hello as courtesy dictated while thinking to himself about how he was supposed to take out and inject the magic medicine set’s vaccine to help cure the woman.
“Uncle, Auntie, this is Bai Chen, whom I have spoken of.”
After introducing them to Bai Chen, she introduced him to them.
Tang Zi Cheng simply nodded at Bai Chen while Tang Yien had only a small smile on her pale face.
“You are…” After looking at Bai Chen for a while, Tang Zi Cheng exclaimed in shock.
He did not think he would meet Bai Chen again here. Moreover, Bai Chen even knew Long Xu In, too.
The reason why he was so shocked was that he recognised Bai Chen. He was none other than the mysterious man who had disguised himself as a beggar and sat next to the garbage pile whom Bai Chen had given a bag of steamed buns.
“Uncle, you know him?” Long Xu In saw the change in Tang Zi Cheng and could not help asking.
Long Xu In was not the only one. Tang Yien who had come with him also asked.
“Honey, do you also know Xu In’s friend?”
She was clearly curious. From the way she addressed Tang Zi Cheng, she was obviously his wife.
Bai Chen was no different from the others. He was also curious. It was clear from Tang Zi Cheng’s words that he knew him.
“You know me?” he said.
As Tang Zi Cheng had been disguised as a beggar with hair covering his face that day, it was impossible for Bai Chen to recognize Tang Zi Cheng as that mysterious man.
“No… it seems like I mistook you for someone else,” Tang Zi Cheng said hurriedly after unintentionally reacting that way.
“That must be it. How could you know him, Uncle Tang?” Long Xu In nodded in understanding.
Tang Zi Cheng’s wife and Bai Chen also nodded.
He did not suspect anything from Tang Zi Cheng’s words, because he was not previously acquainted with the other party.
“Bai Chen, Uncle and Auntie Tang will eat with us at our table. Is that okay?” Long Xu In suddenly turned to ask Bai Chen.
She had invited Tang Zi Cheng and Tang Yien to join them because she had accidentally run into them in front of the restroom. They had not seen each other in a long time, so Tang Yien asked her to come to eat with them. She did not want to refuse, so she had brought them to the restaurant where Bai Chen was waiting for her.
