303: Chapter 303: Instigating 303: Chapter 303: Instigating “Does Young Master Shen know that guy?”
Seeing Shen Huanian’s gaze intermittently drifting towards Fang Bai, who was standing next to Ye Wui, and his expression constantly changing, Xie Yifeng had a thought and asked in a low voice.
“Yes, I know him!
That kid has no background to speak of, yet he’s arrogantly overbearing!
I’ve had unpleasant run-ins with him before!”
Fang Bai had ssed around with Shen Huanian’s half-sister from another mother, and his relationship with Tang Wenrou, whom Shen Huanian fancied, was ambiguously close.
Now, he was even seen getting cozy with the “National Sweetheart” Ye Wui, much to Shen Huanian’s jealousy and hatred.
Talking about Fang Bai made him grind his teeth in anger.
“He’s just an intern at the Chinese dicine departnt of Yanjing Hospital, daring to be arrogant in front of Young Master Shen?
He truly doesn’t know whether he’s alive or dead!”
Xie Yifeng said with a look of disdain.
In his opinion, Fang Bai was, after all, just a friend of Ye Wui.
If Shen Huanian made up his mind to give Fang Bai trouble, it was not certain that Ye Wui would offend Shen Huanian just for Fang Bai’s sake.
“Yanjing Hospital?
An intern?”
Shen Huanian frowned.
He had previously investigated Fang Bai and knew that although Fang Bai’s family ca from an ordinary background in traditional Chinese dicine, he was actually an expert in Ancient Martial arts.
Moreover, he had a good relationship with Su Yifei of the Zhongzhou Su Family, and even Hua Chun, the owner of Rejuvenation Hall and Hua Yi’s grandfather, thought highly of him.
Because he wasn’t sure what other support Fang Bai might have, Shen Huanian had temporarily shelved plans to teach him a lesson.
Consequently, he had not continued the investigation into Fang Bai, so he was unaware of his internship at Yanjing Hospital.
“Just an intern, and from the Chinese dicine departnt at that, should be without much backing, right?
But that kid is truly audacious.
Just now in the parking lot, when I saw Miss Ye, I intended to say a few good words for that kid in front of a deputy dean of Yanjing Hospital, out of respect for Miss Ye’s face.
Yet he actually refused my kindness!”
Xie Yifeng turned his head and looked from a distance at Fang Bai, who stood shoulder to shoulder with Ye Wui, looking incomparably intimate, and felt similar envy, jealousy, and hatred as Shen Huanian did towards Fang Bai.
“It’s strange to say, that kid looks utterly ordinary and doesn’t seem to have anything special about him.
Why does Miss Ye treat him so well?
Look at him standing next to Miss Ye, he’s like a toad—no matter how you look at it, it’s awkward!
If you ask , only soone as handso and dashing, young and affluent as Young Master Shen is a fitting match for Miss Ye!”
Xie Yifeng looked disdainfully at Fang Bai and flattered Shen Huanian with his words, yet in his heart, he wished it was he who was standing next to Ye Wui.
“Mr.
Xie is joking.
Miss Ye is not my type!
I actually think Mr.
Xie and Miss Ye make a good match!”
Shen Huanian smiled and said insincerely.
Ye Wui was a stunning woman with captivating charm.
For Shen Huanian, who enjoyed chasing after beautiful won, he naturally desired to experience her beauty, but it was well-known that he was pursuing Tang Wenrou from the Tang Family.
Pursuing Ye Wui at the sa ti could backfire if the Tang Family heard about it.
So, although Shen Huanian lusted for Ye Wui’s appearance and body, he did not plan on actually pursuing her.
While both n were flattering each other, they kept glancing over at Ye Wui, completely ignoring Luo Xiaoli who stood beside them as if she were invisible.
Although Luo Xiaoli felt dissatisfied inside, she dared not show it.
She knew very well that she was just a plaything for Xie Yifeng, with no real feelings involved, and she could be cast aside at any mont when he grew tired of her.
Xie Yifeng didn’t dare to set his sights on Ye Wui, but after a few words from Shen Huanian, he felt increasingly good about himself.
He thought, if even Fang Bai, a nobody, could win Ye Wui’s favor, wouldn’t it be easier for him, who was a hundred tis better than Fang Bai, to capture her heart?
Seeing Xie Yifeng’s high spirits and brightening eyes, Shen Huanian silently sneered to himself.
His main reason for inciting Xie Yifeng to pursue Ye Wui was to use him to probe Fang Bai’s strength.
Because Fang Bai was close to Ye Wui, Xie Yifeng’s pursuit of her would undoubtedly displease Fang Bai.
If a conflict arose between the two, the outco would reveal Fang Bai’s capability.
If the conflict confird that Fang Bai did not have any significant backing, then Shen Huanian would not hesitate to teach Fang Bai a harsh lesson and keep him away from Xia Chenyu and Tang Wenrou.
If Xie Yifeng suffered a significant loss at Fang Bai’s hands, Shen Huanian would stay put and continue observing.
While Shen Huanian and Xie Yifeng were engaged in conversation with Ye Wui, Fang Bai temporarily excused himself from her to receive a call from Tang Wenrou in a quiet corner with fewer people.
“Officer Tang, is there another fugitive to be captured?”
After connecting with Tang Wenrou, Fang Bai asked with a smile.
The two had initially t while capturing two wanted criminals, and Fang Bai even received a reward of two hundred thousand for this.
He later joked with Tang Wenrou that she must inform him if there were any bounties on criminals.
“Can’t I call you for sothing other than catching fugitives?”
Tang Wenrou let out a playful scold, and as soon as the words were spoken, her cheeks turned red and heated up.
She then relaxed, realizing Fang Bai couldn’t see her anyway.
“Of course!
What is it, Officer Tang?
I’m all ears!”
Listening to Tang Wenrou’s cool, clear voice and thinking of her pure and refined face along with her uniquely valiant temperant, Fang Bai felt a slight stir in his heart.
“Are you with Ye Wui right now?”
Tang Wenrou’s face turned serious as she asked in a low voice.
Fang Bai was taken aback and looked around, wondering, “Yes, how did you know?
I didn’t see you at the event!”
A wisp of Divine Sense had already erged in his Sea of Consciousness, and with Divine Sense Diffusion, he would have sensed Tang Wenrou if she were at the Triumph Grand Hotel.
Tang Wenrou said, “I’m in the office at the police station!
Just now, Shen Huanian sent a few photos of you and Ye Wui together…”
She didn’t finish her sentence, but Fang Bai already understood what Shen Huanian was up to with his secret photography.
He looked towards Shen Huanian in the distance with a mocking expression in his eyes.
“I heard you and Ye Wui are attending a charity auction?”
Although Tang Wenrou repeatedly told herself not to care about these issues, she couldn’t help but ask.
“Yes, Star Ye wanted to accompany her to this charity auction, and since I was free, I ca along,” Fang Bai replied cheerfully.
“Oh.”
Tang Wenrou’s expression dimd, and her mood suddenly turned somber.
“Fang Bai, you said you would teach Ancient Martial arts after examining my bones last ti…
When will you be free?
I suddenly feel like learning!”
Tang Wenrou suddenly inquired.
When she brought it up, Fang Bai rembered that he had agreed to teach her Ancient Martial arts after confirming her as possessing the Innate Earth Spirit Root during a bone reading session.
With all the busyness, he had forgotten about this, and probably Tang Wenrou, having been busy with work, hadn’t been in touch with him about it either.
