Yan Hu chuckled a few tis and said, "Brother Fang, Brother Ji insisted on coming to see you."
He knew the relationship between Fang Yu and Ji Qiubai; they were once best brothers, sharing life and death, and hardships together. When Ji Qiubai heard of Fang Yu’s return, he couldn’t wait to welco Fang Yu back.
There’s no way he would miss this opportunity now!
Ji Qiubai glanced at Fang Yu in front of him, displaying an excited and sincere expression as he walked up to him—
First, he punched Fang Yu’s shoulder, then gave him a big bear hug!
"Good to have you back! Good to have you back!"
Fang Yu, looking at Ji Qiubai who seed much more mature than before, responded lightly, "You’ve changed quite a bit."
Ji Qiubai waved his hand and said, "I’m getting old... of course I’ve changed."
Then Ji Qiubai’s gaze swept around and he asked with concern, "I heard from Yan Hu that soone wants to harm you?"
"It’s nothing, I’ve already handled it," Fang Yu said calmly.
Ji Qiubai stood in front of Fang Yu, his mature face showing a trace of concern as he said, "I will find out the truth and get justice for you."
Fang Yu snorted, "No need. It’s normal to fight and kill in this world. I don’t care about the truth. Let them co if they dare, the more the rrier, let them co deliver death to my doorstep; I enjoy those who lack the strength trying their luck!"
The double aning was as if speaking to Ji Qiubai.
"Brother Fang is domineering!" Yan Hu beside him was overjoyed, "The title of Iron Fist King is not called for nothing!"
It was supposed to be directed at Ji Qiubai, but Fang Yu wasn’t too sure, it was sowhat indirect.
"Brother Fang, we haven’t seen each other for a long ti, let’s go have a drink and catch up!"
Fang Yu turned to look at Xu Zhaopei.
It was evident that Xu Zhaopei naturally distanced herself from those involved in underground dealings, her face revealing an undeniable look of embarrassnt.
Fang Yu didn’t want to go, but Yan Hu’s insistence left him no room to retreat.
Indeed, as brothers who hadn’t seen each other for so long, it would be unreasonable not to catch up. Seeing Yan Hu about to shout about severing ties if they didn’t drink, Fang Yu had no choice but to nod in agreent.
At the sa ti, he began to worry about Yan Hu. With Ji Qiubai’s deep cunning, if the secrets of Mandala were indeed leaked by him, then he must be on guard against Fang Yu. Who could guarantee that he wouldn’t target Yan Hu?
The group got into the car and headed to the largest nearby restaurant.
The dishes and wine were served.
Nothing but rrint.
"Miss Xu, a toast to you!" Yan Hu raised his glass and downed it in one go.
Xu Zhaopei forced a smile; she had a decent tolerance for alcohol, one glass was manageable, so she too finished her drink in one go.
"Miss Xu, are you Brother Fang’s woman?" Yan Hu’s mouth ran loose with the influence of alcohol.
Hearing this, the usually bold and playful Xu Zhaopei lowered her head, her cheeks turning slightly red. Yan Hu’s phrasing was indeed provocative, what did ’Brother Fang’s woman’ imply? As if she were so kind of mistress, always ready to share his bed...
Seeing her blushing and endearing little face, Yan Hu chuckled heartily.
"She’s my colleague, don’t talk nonsense," Fang Yu said.
How could Yan Hu believe it? Okay, would anyone blush and get their heart racing because of a re question?
"Miss Xu, our Brother Fang is an old cow in the stars, knowledgeable about astronomy from top to bottom, omnipotent, all-knowing! You must not give up!" Ji Qiubai said with a smile on his face.
The restaurant wasn’t very high-class; the group found a table in the spacious hall and cobbled it together casually. Back in the days when they first stirred up trouble in Jiangzhou, this was all they did—sotis eating at street stalls, grabbing a couple of bottles of alcohol and drinking unabashedly by the roadside.
Now the past is gone, but the mories remain.
Xu Zhaopei, being provoked by these underground dealers, could no longer hold back; being a brave girl, she retorted, "Do you guys mixing in the underground really enjoy gossiping so much?"
"Hey, we don’t gossip; that’s won’s business. This is about Brother Fang’s lifeti affair!" Yan Hu chuckled.
"Look at the way you talk, discriminating against won? You’re no better than won yourself!" Xu Zhaopei retorted discontentedly.
Yan Hu wasn’t offended at all and said, "Is it that all beautiful won have as fiery a temper as you?"
Fang Yu repeatedly waved his hands and frowned, saying, "Tiger, don’t bully won..."
"Oh." Yan Hu bowed his head and snickered, Brother Yu has forgotten his brothers now that he has a woman...
"By the way, Brother Yu, at the beginning of next month, Brother Ji and I will attend Grandpa Sun’s Dragon and Tiger Feast. Are you interested in joining us?" Yan Hu asked expectantly.
"I’ve heard about it, but I’m not interested." Fang Yu didn’t want to have too much to do with Ji Qiubai right now...
"Don’t say that..."
Before he could finish speaking, two cars arrived outside the restaurant.
They stopped at the entrance of the restaurant, and then several people got out.
Fang Yu couldn’t help but turn his head to look, and his heart skipped a beat. The person leading was Zhou Bufan whom he had t during the rooftop case!
"Fang Yu, please co with us," Zhou Bufan said sternly as he entered.
As soon as these words were spoken, several brothers nearby, including Ji Qiubai and Yan Hu, were montarily stunned.
Knowing Yan Hu’s temper, he imdiately banged the table and cursed, "Nonsense! Arresting soone needs evidence; you think my Brother Yu is scared easily?!"
At this banging of the table, the other young brothers also stood up. Except for Zhou Bufan, who remained calm, the others with him showed a flash of panic in their eyes. There weren’t many police here today; if these people caused a scene, the consequences would be unthinkable!
Moreover, these people weren’t the sort to be trifled with.
They thought their status would intimidate these ruffians. But they were mistaken.
Not only were they not afraid, but they also banged the table and bellowed on the spot!
This was simply lawlessness!
Detective expert Zhou Bufan instantly noticed Ji Qiubai, who sat upright among the crowd.
He also knew this man’s background and capabilities; he had always wanted to arrest this target but had been hindered by the lack of evidence. He had thus allowed him to roam free for years, growing more prominent in Jiangzhou.
Moreover, Zhou Bufan suspected that Ji Qiubai was intricately connected to them. Without solid evidence, why would Zhou Bufan provoke Ji Qiubai?
It wasn’t that he lacked the ability.
But rather that the matter was too complicated.
As the atmosphere was about to turn awkward, Fang Yu spoke up, "Tiger, what are you yelling for?"
Yan Hu’s face revealed a hint of embarrassnt: "What’s the big deal?!"
Xu Zhaopei was sowhat dumbfounded.
"Tiger, watch your words!" Fang Yu scolded sternly, then he cracked a smile, "You want to cooperate with your work, I’m duty-bound, especially since I have received a bravery award before."
Zhou Bufan was montarily stunned.
It wasn’t Fang Yu’s straightforwardness that surprised him, but Ji Qiubai behind Fang Yu. Trying to take soone away from Ji Qiubai might be more challenging than scaling the heavens.
But at the mont, Ji Qiubai was casually using chopsticks to pick up cold dishes from the table, looking relaxed and detached.
In fact, Zhou Bufan had delved deeply into Ji Qiubai and knew this man was famously cunning. The more indifferent he appeared, the more turbulent his heart might be.
This ant that he couldn’t touch Fang Yu.
Even if Fang Yu was willing to go with him, it wouldn’t work.
For a mont, the atmosphere fell into an incredibly awkward state.
No one made a move, no one spoke.
"Everyone is here!"
Suddenly, a hearty laugh ca from behind. The newcor was an elderly police officer, over fifty, with hands behind his back, exuding a serious gaze.
Before he spoke, his body radiated an irresistible authority.
"Zhou, let’s stop here this ti." The old police officer said sternly, "The parking lot issue has been cleared up; I’ll tell you about it afterward."
