3 a.m. sharp.
Xiaolei, Li San, and Ren Ying returned to Xiaofan's apartnt.
The Capital City is so large. Even though they know where Luo Wei's territory is, it's vast, and searching each area one by one is really difficult. But there's no choice; just waiting around won't do. If they can rescue her a mont earlier, that would be even better.
"Hmm? Isn't Xiaofan back yet?" Li San was the last of the three to return, and seeing the other two, he asked suspiciously.
"Not yet. Despite how he usually doesn't care about that girl Chen i'Er, he's actually a deeply sentintal guy. Otherwise, why would he be running around with the threat of the Assassination Order looming over him? Isn't that like asking to get killed?" Xiaolei sighed as well.
"Since ancient tis, heroes find it hard to resist the charms of a beauty. Ren Ying, didn't Xiaofan end up with your sister? Now he's running around to find another girl; aren't you going to say sothing to him?" Li San teased.
"He's the Patriarch of the Ren Family now. Grandma asked to follow and fully support him. As for Ling'Er, it was Grandma who forcibly put the two of them together, so technically, our Ren Family owes Xiaofan. So Ling'Er wouldn't oppose Xiaofan in his personal life."
"Wow, should I be envious of Xiaofan, or should I be envious of Xiaofan, or should I be envious?" Li San asked with great envy.
"Envious of what? Don't look at how carefree he seems, he's actually suffering. Let tell you, during that week at Yanhuang Soul, for that Shen Zuimo, you guys don't know, Xiaofan beca like a little kid, as naive as can be, constantly trying to impress, even aced the training grounds. Also..."
It's past three, and these guys showed no signs of leaving, still chatting about Xiaofan's private affairs. Of course, everyone was familiar with Xiaofan's character, finding him reliable when serious but also quite worriso when acting foolish.
At the mont, Xiaofan was driving towards the next club under Luo Wei's jurisdiction. Although hiding in a club was unlikely, Xiaofan still wanted to try his luck.
He couldn't explain why, but whenever he thought of sothing happening to Chen i'Er, he couldn't calm down. Indeed, too many ties can bind oneself, yet he couldn't sever his direct connection with her.
Their initial eting was laughable, and the developnt even more bewildering. She was clearly into won, yet inexplicably fell for him. He knew she liked him, but he never distanced himself to break her heart.
Was he incapable of refusal? Or did he just not want to refuse? From that first night they t, if it weren't for Chen Baicheng getting soone to blow the door, they might have done sothing that night. Since then, she continually appeared in his life.
Contests, then the Dragon Scale Fragrance ignited by Ren Ling, to her showing up in his room every so often. Sotis when a long ti passed, Xiaofan would even slightly anticipate her visit. Seeing her dressed sensually, those long legs swaying before him was eye candy that spiced up the monotony.
The last ti they t, she even brought breakfast. Knowing it was dangerous for him, she still ca, even planning to give him a final chance to possess her. Such a foolish girl. Even when kidnapped, she still left words about liking him during a call with Chen Baicheng.
Xiaofan isn't cold-hearted; he can feel i'Er's passion for him.
Chen Baicheng hit the nail on the head when asking why he'd show up here—was Xiaofan's heart truly as indifferent towards Chen i'Er as he claid, just treating each other as friends?
Who knows...
anwhile, at Luo Wei's ho.
"Gentlen, the goods have been sold completely, not a single item left. Plus, all the gangs are actively reselling, so I'm confident they'll sell out in no ti," Luo Wei reported with a smile to the three mysterious n.
"And Chen Baicheng, did he sell?"
"He sold them. With Chen i'Er in our hands, would he dare disobey? I've sent soone to check, and his extensive network is selling exceptionally well," Luo Wei continued.
"Good. Rember, Chen i'Er must not be hard. Chen Baicheng will surely call every day. Once the second shipnt arrives, we can assess his sales performance, and it won't be too late to release her afterward. Rember, don't let your son repeat the incident from that day. Angering Chen Baicheng is bad for all of us."
"Yes, yes, I've already taught my worthless son a lesson. Rest assured, gentlen, I will supervise my subordinates closely."
"Alright, we're leaving. No need to co looking for us, contact by phone if anything cos up."
With those words, the three mysterious n stood up and left by car.
After they left, Luo Wei's pleasant expression twisted into a nacing scowl.
"Chen Baicheng? Just you wait. Once I'm stronger than you, you'll be polishing my shoes. Hmph..."
Clearly, Luo Wei was irked by the importance those n placed on Chen Baicheng, yet he knew he couldn't match Chen Baicheng's power, swallowing his pride and planning to surpass him one day. Now, his dream was becoming closer to reality.
anwhile, the three n drove away, with one of them taking out a phone and dialing a number.
"Hello, Boss."
"Ninth Young Master? How are things?"
"Things are well. Chen Baicheng obediently followed orders. The second shipnt can be introduced next week."
"No, the second shipnt will arrive in three days, double the previous one. It's been a while since we, Red Butterfly, took a major task from headquarters. This ti, the directive is to cover the Capital City with poppies. Ninth Young Master, you three did well; you won't be forgotten afterwards."
"Yes, thank you, Boss."
With that, Ninth Young Master hung up the call.
"So, how did it go, Old Ninth? What did the Boss say?"
"Second Brother, the Boss said the second shipnt arrives in three days. If we do well, there will be rewards, and after the second shipnt sells, soone will co to take over our job."
"Great. Let's go, take this ti to find so won and have so fun."
"Alright."
The plan unfolded exactly as Xiaofan predicted, even including these three mysterious arrivals. For such a significant commotion, the first thing Xiaofan thought of was Red Butterfly.
Since the Assassination Order from Red Butterfly was already targeting him, disrupting another of their plans would rely add fuel to the fire. No matter how much Red Butterfly despised Ye Xiaofan, it couldn't surpass the assassination order.
Xiaofan was determined to risk everything. Besides, he had no choice but to take the risk; otherwise, it would be waiting for death.
