This gratitude, Chen Mengying once again buried in her heart. She knew that she couldn't repay him at the moment, but when she finally had the ability to, she wouldn't forget this mischievous guy's help from behind the scenes.

Quietly coming out of the kitchen, looking from a distance at Xiaofan, who was laughing and chatting with those stylishly dressed beauties, Chen Mengying's mood was no longer so gloomy. He was Ye Xiaofan, the Ye Xiaofan who had never changed.

And Xiaofan didn't know what Fei said to Chen Mengying. That was just his character; some things didn't need to be explicitly stated because he didn't want Chen Mengying to feel indebted to him. He merely did an ordinary thing to help a friend, nothing noble as he felt.

"Hey, you guys chat. I'll take a look around." Having been at the job for a while, Xiaofan wanted to stretch his muscles.

Just as he was about to head upstairs, he suddenly spotted an extremely alluring woman. There were plenty of scantily-clad women here, but catching Xiaofan's eye at a glance among the crowd was rare. Moreover, he had seen this woman before.

Why would she come to a place like this? And dressed so boldly? Moving so suspiciously, wasn't she a police officer? Could this beautiful cop also have a dark side hidden from view? Was she here for something shady?

That's right, this beautiful cop was Lin Miaoke, who used to follow Xiaofan home from school. He didn't expect to encounter her here again.

While Xiaofan was lost in his thoughts, Lin Miaoke walked toward the elevator, murmuring something under her breath.

Seeing this, Xiaofan realized something was off. She probably had a mini walkie-talkie hidden in her hair, and she was here likely for work. Her job was to maintain social order and catch criminals. Was she here to catch Brother Xiong and the others?

Thinking of this, Xiaofan quickly walked over. Just as Lin Miaoke was about to step into the elevator, he wrapped an arm around her slender waist.

"Hey, beautiful, where are you going? How about keeping me company for a drink?"

Indeed, Xiaofan guessed correctly; she was here for work. However, dressing like this to find clues made her quite uncomfortable. Exposing herself and being stared at by those lustful eyes was surely irritating.

And just as Lin Miaoke was feeling agitated, wanting to vent, an unseeing fool suddenly came up and held her. While Lin Miaoke was about to teach the guy a lesson, before her hand could reach out, the guy dodged away quickly.

"Hey hey, you, you, you're not that, that..." Xiaofan pretended to be surprised upon recognizing Lin Miaoke.

Lin Miaoke also looked at Xiaofan with some confusion initially as if he looked familiar from somewhere.

"That cop..."

"Ah, I remember you." Lin Miaoke recalled who the young man before her was as Xiaofan was about to say police: "Aren't you Ye Xiaofan? What are you doing here?"

"I'm working here. Kids from poor families, nothing strange about it. But seeing you here is a bit..." Xiaofan deliberately prolonged his voice, wanting to see her expression change.

"Shh, well, I'm here for work reasons. And since you know my identity, I ask you to keep it secret and not tell anyone else." Lin Miaoke naturally wouldn't suspect the words of a high school student, especially from Seventh Middle School—such a prestigious school where everyone was top students, how could they possibly have ties with the underworld?

"No problem, but what task are you here for? Are there killers around? Will there be a shootout later? Should I hide somewhere safe?" Xiaofan's performance was like that of an ordinary high school student. If Liu Qingyun were here, he might be amazed that this kid might someday become a movie emperor.

"Shh, don't worry, there's no killer, but I'm here to find some clues. However, due to confidentiality rules, I can't tell you the specifics." Lin Miaoke said gently.

"I see, that's good, that's good. I've been working here for more than a week; is there anything I can help with?" As her reason for being here was unclear, Xiaofan hadn't given up hope of gaining information from her.

"Hey, have you seen anything unclean here during your time here?" Lin Miaoke suddenly seemed to realize something, knowing she couldn't discover much just by groping around; she thought it best to enlist help from Xiaofan, who knew the place well.

"Unclean things?" Xiaofan frowned slightly, showing confusion.

"I mean, have you seen anyone here acting weird, frenzied after eating something?"

"Are you talking about drug use?" Xiaofan's pupils contracted slightly. Could it be that Brother Xiong was involved in such things? That shouldn't be the case; if it really were true, he would have collaborated with those people earlier.

"Yes, have you ever seen it?" Lin Miaoke asked earnestly.

"No, this bar has always banned such things." Xiaofan's answer was indeed truthful.

"Really?" Lin Miaoke also frowned adorably.

Wearing a black deep V-neck dress and light makeup, this beautiful police flower became more alluring.

"Could the information be wrong? But the precinct said the drugs were retrieved from Star Moon Bar... It's strange." Lin Miaoke muttered to herself, and Xiaofan listened carefully, stunned. He remembered a few days ago, Fei indeed had his subordinates hand over some goods to familiar police officers, but it should have been made clear at the time, so why were officers coming now? This matter was too bizarre.

"Ye Xiaofan, is it possible that they're dealing in some secret place, and you haven't seen it?"

"Impossible, I've been everywhere on the fourth floor of this bar." Xiaofan replied immediately and then thought, if the police are really targeting Brother Xiong, even if Brother Xiong hadn't touched that stuff, they'd eventually find something amiss, and it'd be bad to leave a criminal record. He had to find a way to handle this.

"Oh, right. There's one place I can't get into; in the fourth-floor office, the boss often discusses matters there." Xiaofan crafted a plan in his mind.

"Oh? Then quickly take me there." Lin Miaoke's eyes shone as if she'd discovered a new continent.

"Now? Wait, let me go check if there's anyone on the fourth floor first, and then I'll come back to get you. You wait over there for me."

"Okay, be careful yourself." Lin Miaoke didn't realize she was gradually stepping into Xiaofan's plan, still thinking this high school student was an upright and good citizen.
