As he successfully walked out the door, Xiaofan finally felt his heart pounding wildly.
The cold sweat on his back had completely soaked through his clothes.
Damn, Chen Baicheng's oppressive aura really made Xiaofan feel like he couldn't breathe. This is the pressure of someone in power, and he, himself, is just a small figure. If Chen really wanted him dead, it would be as simple as crushing an ant.
Damn it, better escape quickly and never meet that Chen father and daughter again.
"Hey, Ye Xiaofan..."
Suddenly, a shout came from behind Xiaofan.
This shout almost scared Xiaofan into running away immediately. Could it be that Chen Baicheng has gone back on his word?
"This is the cash you left at the hotel last night, take it back." A man, who had dislocated his arm from Xiaofan's grasp earlier, came out holding a small leather suitcase.
"Ah? Oh, right, thank you."
Whew, that money was won back from playing dice with those rich kids last night. While Xiaofan had been tangled up with Chen Mei'Er in the hotel going wild, money and all were thrown to the side. Xiaofan even forgot to take it after switching rooms when the door got blasted open.
"No worries, thank you for being lenient with our brothers just now." The man said amicably.
"Hey, we weren't enemies after all, no need to fight to the death. Oh right, here, let this money treat the brothers from earlier, let's say I'm making amends."
"No, no, you don't need to. It really..."
"Just take it. We may meet again someday, and if your boss wants my life, maybe you can spare me once. Haha. I'm off."
The man held three stacks of hundred-yuan bills, watching Xiaofan as he got into a taxi and left. He couldn't help but think with a smile: If only my boss were as friendly as he is.
In the restaurant, Chen Mei'Er returned to her uninhibited self, continuing to eat her favorite foods without even glancing at her father.
"Hey, Mei'Er, where did you find this tough guy? Even your dad can't handle him, but I like this kid's temper a lot, though his heart is a bit soft. But that can be slowly tuned." At this moment, Chen Baicheng no longer had the imposing presence from before; he was just a friendly father in front of Chen Mei'Er.
"We've explained it clearly, we're not in that kind of relationship. How many times do I have to tell you?" Chen Mei'Er pouted.
"Oh, but you were so concerned about him being hurt, weren't you?" Chen Baicheng said thoughtfully, "If I remember correctly, someone just shouted for him to be careful earlier."
"Are you eating or not?" Chen Mei'Er glared at her father, clearly not wanting him to see through her thoughts.
"Yes, I'm eating. We haven't had a meal together for so long. That kid is really something. Next time, when there's a chance, bring him home for a meal." Chen Baicheng continued.
He's rarely wrong about people; from the beginning, that kid's manners were quite good. But his bad temper irked Chen Baicheng, though thinking back, wasn't he like this in his younger days too? And with the kid being such a good fighter, protecting Mei'er wouldn't be a problem in the future.
"Earlier, which university did you say he attends?" Chen Mei'Er asked instinctively.
"Mingyuan, right across from your school." Chen Baicheng replied instinctively.
"Arrange for my transfer to Mingyuan tomorrow," Chen Mei'Er said casually, wiped her mouth, and got up to leave.
"What? You want to go to a place like Mingyuan?" Chen Baicheng raised his voice at his daughter as she left.
Of course, Chen Mei'Er didn't give him a chance to get an answer, striding forward and walking out the door.
"Brother Cheng, this is a good sign. Although that kid seems uninterested in Miss, Miss seems quite curious about him." Gui came up to Chen Baicheng and said at that moment.
"Gui, handle the transfer procedures for Miss tomorrow."
"Yes, Brother Cheng."
As mentioned before, when a woman develops curiosity about a man, there's a seventy percent chance it will develop into a relationship.
Sometimes, when the feeling comes, you can't avoid it. Of course, it doesn't mean Chen Mei'Er has fallen for Xiaofan yet; she just wants to know why she doesn't feel the same aversion toward him as other men. Why is he inexplicably so good to her? What kind of guy is he anyway?
Ah, right, she's still wearing the shorts he wore last night. She forgot to even change them, how damned careless.
Lightly covering her still-slightly-aching chest, Chen Mei'Er started the car and drove toward the hotel. Muttering to herself: "This bastard, using such force. Doesn't he know that hurts?"
Meanwhile, having narrowly escaped danger, Xiaofan was preparing to return to his second uncle's house to confront Ye Weiwei when Li Kuo's call suddenly came through.
The two agreed to meet in the drink shop where they met yesterday.
Li Kuo was rather secretive over the phone, refusing to say why he wanted to see Xiaofan.
Once at the café, Xiaofan ordered a plate of fried noodles and began eating heartily. He was starving; he hadn't eaten a bite of the food in front of Chen Baicheng earlier, and after just having a fight, really hungry Xiaofan sat down and ordered three portions.
"Hey, hey, could you listen to me first? Are you really that hungry?" Looking at the two empty plates already, Li Kuo pouted.
"Mm, mmhmm, go ahead, I'm listening." Xiaofan glanced at Li Kuo, his mouth still stuffed with fried noodles.
"Yesterday you asked me to look into those two places, right? Well, later when I got home, I tried again, and I found a very hidden location related to Red Butterfly. I only browsed for less than two minutes before I got cut off; I was almost discovered if I hadn't reacted quickly, I would have been exposed." Li Kuo spoke slowly.
Hearing this, Xiaofan stopped his frantic eating, looking at Li Kuo with a face full of horror.
"What's wrong with you, kid? Didn't I tell you not to use your home computer to check? You just ignore my words, huh?" Xiaofan's voice was loud, clearly regretting letting Li Kuo help him.
"Don't worry, I'm really discreet in my work, and I didn't use my home IP. Besides, how can outside computers compare to mine for such use? They don't have the software." Li Kuo said nonchalantly.
"From now on, you're not allowed to check anymore, got it?"
"Aren't you going to ask what I saw? That Red Butterfly you mentioned, turns out to be an assassin organization, right?" Li Kuo's lips curled into a slight smile.
"What else did you find?" Li Kuo's words seemed to hit a nerve with Xiaofan. Red Butterfly has countless threads tied to that woman before; maybe there's still a chance to see her again.
