After My Daughter Died of Depression, I Was Reborn!

Chapter 24: Not Simple at All!

Dishes like Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Soft-shelled Fish, Wensi Tofu, and stuffed bean sprouts, among others, made up more than ten Chinese dishes.

They were paired with high-end liquors such as Maotai.

The large table, although looking unremarkable, had a price tag exceeding ten thousand yuan.

Soon, all the dishes were served.

Jiang Tiancheng took a sip of water, ready to explain the dishes to Shen Fei.

But unexpectedly, Shen Fei directly picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

The elegance and etiquette he displayed while eating left Jiang Tiancheng shocked.

Because the demeanor was completely different from the degenerate gambler image he had investigated.

"Mr. Shen, do these dishes taste good?" Jiang Tiancheng asked with concern.

Shen Fei looked up, savored the food carefully, then wiped his mouth and remarked in detail:

"The flavor of this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is quite nice, very fresh! The fish is soft, but the seasoning didn't really soak in. As for the tofu, it's fine... but the stir-fried meat is a bit tough!"

He pointed out the strengths and weaknesses of each dish.

This action stunned both Jiang Tiancheng and Hu Yuantai.

Jiang Tiancheng, although wealthy, didn't have high standards for food. For him, dishes were either edible or not. He couldn't imagine talking about the finer details of a dish. He was simply asking if Shen Fei liked the taste.

To his surprise, Shen Fei gave a detailed review of each dish.

And thinking about the background of Shen Fei he had investigated… this seemed like forced pretension!

Hu Yuantai, on the other hand, was deeply surprised.

Unlike Jiang Tiancheng's rough approach to food, Hu Yuantai had a great passion for it. He loved the dishes at Huaxi Yue Ting!

But as he ate, he felt something was missing.

After hearing Shen Fei's detailed feedback, he suddenly understood.

So that's how it is!

"Mr. Shen, I didn't expect you to be so meticulous with food at such a young age! No wonder I always felt something was off with these dishes! I really admire you!" Hu Yuantai said with admiration.

Shen Fei smiled lightly and modestly replied, "Mr. Hu is overpraising me. I just love food and have done some research."

At this, Jiang Tiancheng was even more confused.

How could a broke gambler have such refined taste?

This made him wonder if the information he had gathered about Shen Fei was wrong.

Hu Yuantai, meanwhile, looked at Shen Fei with renewed respect.

Such discerning taste couldn't just come from research, right?

And looking at Shen Fei's attire, he had a feeling that Shen Fei was more than what his simple appearance suggested.

"Mr. Shen, what do you do for a living?" Hu Yuantai asked, puzzled.

"I'm just a homebody with no job," Shen Fei replied calmly.

"Hmm?"

Hu Yuantai was even more puzzled, instinctively looking at Jiang Tiancheng.

Jiang Tiancheng cleared his throat, "Well, I only met Mr. Shen yesterday—because of that jade Bodhisattva pendant!"

Although Hu Yuantai was still full of questions, he didn't press further. He knew Shen Fei wasn't simple.

He was well-acquainted with many high-society individuals, including food enthusiasts, but none of them could explain food with such detail.

Simple?

Not at all simple!

The meal was spent in laughter and good conversation.

"Mr. Shen, are you heading home now? Let me give you a ride!" Jiang Tiancheng offered.

Shen Fei shook his head, "No need to trouble you. I'll take a cab."

Then, Shen Fei glanced at Hu Yuantai.

Recalling Hu Yuantai's fate in his past life, he suddenly spoke up, "Mr. Hu, did you drive here?"

Caught off guard by the question, Hu Yuantai was momentarily stunned, "Ah? Yes!"

After regaining his composure, Hu Yuantai half-jokingly said, "Is Mr. Shen's sixth sense at work again?"

"Yes, Mr. Hu! You shouldn't drive today! I see a cloud of ominous energy above you. Also, get someone to check your car. It's not safe!" Shen Fei said seriously.

To be honest, he wanted to keep a low profile and not meddle. If Jiang Tiancheng hadn't brought him here today, he wouldn't have said anything.

He would have been labeled a lunatic and added trouble for himself.

But he couldn't ignore Hu Yuantai.

Given how much he admired him in his past life, Shen Fei had to help him avoid this disaster!

Moreover, Hu Yuantai was Han Xinyan's boss.

Hu Yuantai furrowed his brows. "Mr. Shen, you're joking about life and death!"

Jiang Tiancheng also exclaimed, "Mr. Shen, is your sixth sense working again?"

Shen Fei ignored their doubts and maintained a serious expression.

"I'm serious! It's a matter of life and death, that's why I'm taking the risk of sounding crazy. Mr. Hu, it's better to be cautious!"

After saying that, he looked at both of them.

"Take it as you will. The food was delicious today! I'm leaving now!"

Shen Fei didn't look back as he got into a taxi.

Left behind in the hot summer wind were the two bewildered men, Jiang Tiancheng and Hu Yuantai.

When the taxi was out of sight, Jiang Tiancheng murmured, "Yuantai, you…"

"Do you think his sixth sense is accurate?" Hu Yuantai's brows were furrowed deeply.

"Yuantai, be cautious! I think you should listen to Mr. Shen," Jiang Tiancheng urged.

"Old Jiang, I remember you didn't believe in this stuff! Plus, my car is brand new. What could possibly be wrong with it?"

Hu Yuantai didn't believe it at all, but after Jiang Tiancheng's insistence, he reluctantly got into his car.

Feeling Jiang Tiancheng's concern, Hu Yuantai stopped rejecting it.

Half an hour later.

In the parking lot of Huaxi Yue Ting.

Two men in black were standing in front of a brand-new Maserati.

"Old Five, drive slowly! Mr. Hu specifically said to start slow!"

One man opened the door, giving careful instructions.

"Alright, alright! Stop rushing me, or you drive!" the other man replied with a cold snort.

The man in the passenger seat looked at the car with admiration, saying enviously, "Don't be so smug. If I had my license, I'd be driving!"

Old Five rolled his eyes but said nothing.

The car started, the engine roared, and Old Five pressed the clutch.

As they exited the parking lot, the car suddenly accelerated.

"Old Five, slow down!"

"I... I can't slow down!"

Old Five stepped on the brake, but the car kept speeding up, panic flashing in his eyes.

At that moment, a large truck appeared in front of them, and there was no way to avoid it.

The new sports car crashed straight into the truck!
