It's a pity that our classmate Xiaofan is really hopeless. A dozen beers, six bottles for each person, and by the time he reached the fourth bottle, Xiaofan was already struggling. Right after he finished the fifth bottle, the kid just slumped onto the table.
As for Shen Zuimo, having destroyed all six bottles of beer, her little face was just a bit flushed, looking extremely cute with a rosy glow.
"Tch, how pathetic. Already drunk?" Zuimo said as she opened the bottle of beer Xiaofan had left unfinished and started pouring it into her own mouth.
Shen Zuimo had lost her memory, so she couldn't recall how good her alcohol tolerance was. She didn't know that during her training to become a qualified assassin, handling alcohol was a necessary skill she had to master. When disguised as various people while targeting someone, poor alcohol tolerance would easily give her away.
This was Xiaofan's mistake. He knew that women who could drink were definitely no worse than men, but he thought that women who could drink must be regular drinkers, like those in bars.
And ever since he met Shen Zuimo until now, she hadn't touched a drop, so who would have guessed she could drink so much?
Xiaofan slept quite comfortably this time. He lay down and went straight to dawn. The only thing was that when he got up, he felt a little dizzy, and to his surprise, Shen Zuimo was lying next to him.
Wait a minute, what happened last night? Could it be that Shen Zuimo took advantage of him being drunk and then... Oh, dear? His eighteen-year-old pure body, how could it be taken away in an unconscious state?
This was just Xiaofan overthinking. But lying next to such a stunning beauty, if he didn't do something, he'd really be letting himself down.
Thinking this, Xiaofan stretched out his "wolf claws."
'Blink blink.'
She opened her eyes. Just as Xiaofan's hand reached the buttons on Shen Zuimo's white shirt, Shen Zuimo opened her eyes and blinked at Xiaofan. Then, her expression changed, and she grabbed Xiaofan's outstretched claw with one hand and gave it a strong pull.
"Hey? Huh?"
'Bang.'
"Ouch ouch ouch... Shen Zuimo, what are you doing?" Xiaofan was slammed hard onto the floor beside the bed, clutching his head and saying pitifully.
"Already up to no good as soon as you wake up?" Shen Zuimo leaned over and silently gazed with satisfaction at Xiaofan below.
"What? This is my room, this is my bed. Everything on my bed is mine. Of course, that includes you..." Xiaofan said as he conveniently stretched out his hands to cup Shen Zuimo's cheeks and quickly planted a firm kiss on her tender red lips.
Without waiting for Shen Zuimo to react, our classmate Xiaofan quickly stood up from the ground and dashed out of the room, afraid that Shen Zuimo might retaliate and beat him up. However, as he ran out, the boy smugly remarked, "Sleeping on my bed ought to come with some interest."
Shen Zuimo watched Xiaofan hurriedly run out and scolded him in a half-angry, half-amused way: "Rascal."
Last night, when she was helping the drunk Xiaofan back to his room, she couldn't quite explain why she lay down beside him too. She just wanted to lie down quietly and rest. It was the first time she had slept so soundly and the first time she didn't have nightmares in the middle of the night.
As for what the nightmares were about, Zuimo couldn't remember most of it, but they were gruesome, as if many people were out to take her life. But strangely, when she lay beside him, nothing like that happened.
After a cold shower, Xiaofan energetically ran off to school. Every time, Shen Zuimo wanted to tell him to come back early, but never could bring herself to say it.
Today, Xiaofan couldn't keep calm. At 2 a.m. tomorrow, it'll be time for Lei Hu to make the trade. The final step in the plan made him feel uneasy, worried that something might go wrong.
By evening, after having dinner at home with Shen Zuimo, Xiaofan immediately ran to the Star Moon Bar. And Fei had informed Lin Miaoke of the time and place. Now they just had to wait for Lin Miaoke to arrive on time with the police to take out those guys.
Waiting was agonizing. From 8 p.m., they had to wait until 2 a.m., which indeed made Fei and the others restless.
"Brother Xiong, Xiaofan, I can't stand it anymore, I need to go out for a walk." Fei was unbearably stifled.
"Where are you going?" Ouyang Xiong was also anxiously waiting.
"I'm going to wander around Lei Hu's territory, and see if I can find out any other information." Fei said and was about to head out.
"Hey, Fei, wait for me, I'll go with you."
"I'm going too, I'm going too."
Long and a few other brothers were also fed up with waiting and each wanted to head out.
Ouyang Xiong didn't stop them. He wanted to go as well, but as the boss, he couldn't just run these errands himself. Plus, with Fei and the others going out, any news would be quickly relayed back.
"Xiaofan, how come you're so calm?" Ouyang Xiong curiously asked Xiaofan, who was sitting quietly by the side.
"Brother Xiong, I'm just pretending. In truth, I'm more nervous than anyone. After all, this plan was designed by me. If anything goes wrong, I'd be the biggest culprit. But right now, if I also get nervous, everyone would feel uneasy. Actually, since coming into this room, my legs have been shaking nonstop." Xiaofan said with a wry smile.
"Hahaha, you kid." Ouyang Xiong burst into laughter. He didn't blame Xiaofan for not having full confidence to wager on this gamble.
Xiaofan not having a leader's demeanor wasn't embarrassing. He was still too young. This was his first time planning such a large operation. Compared to the previous dealings with Zhang Yongchang, this plan involved more people.
First, Ouyang Xiong. No worries here. Second, Lei Hu, and their side shouldn't have discovered the plan. Third, the drug dealers trading with Lei Hu. They are ruthless and also have firearms. But this was accounted for in Xiaofan's plan. Fourth, Lin Miaoke. As long as she brings the police to catch them on time, everything will fall into place smoothly.
No, it shouldn't go wrong.
After the incident with Zhang Yongchang last time, it gave Xiaofan a strong sense of satisfaction. It felt as though those big shots were being toyed with in his palm. But this time, will it go as smoothly?
Time slowly ticked away, and no matter how long the wait, it was about to arrive.
'Ring ring ring.' One-thirty in the morning. Xiaofan's phone rang.
"Hey, bro, what's the situation?" Xiaofan immediately answered the call.
"Is it Fei? This kid, doesn't even call me first." Ouyang Xiong muttered, then ran over to Xiaofan's side.
"Xiaofan, Lei Hu just left with over twenty people. Just now. And I saw Lin Miaoke's car following along. But it's weird, Lin Miaoke was the only one in the car, something seems off."
"What? She's alone?" Hearing this, Xiaofan couldn't help but frown, a fierce unease rising inside him.
Ending the call, Xiaofan immediately dialed Lin Miaoke's phone. Back when Lin Miaoke followed him home to look for Shen Zuimo, she had left a business card, and that's how Fei had Lin Miaoke's number.
"Hello."
The call connected. Lin Miaoke's voice drifted over softly.
"Did you follow Lei Hu by yourself?" Xiaofan asked coldly.
"Who are you?"
"Ye Xiaofan."
"How do you know I went alone?" Lin Miaoke asked curiously.
"You really went alone, huh? Are you an idiot?" Xiaofan shouted angrily.
"Hey, what's with your attitude? I'm a cop, I can't just believe what you say offhand. I need to observe before making a decision. Don't worry, I've seen the evidence Fei brought, your people will be released soon."
"Lin Miaoke, the smart thing to do now is to immediately notify your people to surround that place, otherwise..."
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Okay, whatever, I'll handle it myself."
'Beep beep beep beep...'
Plans can't keep up with change, indeed. Hearing the busy signal from the phone, Xiaofan almost had the urge to throw it.
What on earth is wrong with this woman? Things went off the rails as expected. Everything was calculated, except for this Lin Miaoke. Women are indeed the most incomprehensible species, bar none.
After hanging up, Xiaofan paced back and forth in the room, nearly frantic.
"That idiot cop, moron."
"Xiaofan, what's the situation?" Ouyang Xiong asked nervously.
"Brother Xiong, that idiot Lin Miaoke went to the meeting point alone. Not only can't we catch Lei Hu this way, but she might also get herself in trouble." Xiaofan said furiously.
"Then, what do we do now?"
"Don't panic, let me think, there's still over twenty minutes, let me think, think..." Xiaofan forced himself to calm down quickly, things hadn't reached an irreversible point yet.
But with his mind unsettled by Lin Miaoke, how could Xiaofan think of a remedy in such a short time?
"Brother Xiong, lend me your car. I need to go right away." With no other choice, Xiaofan decided to make a run for it first.
"Here's the key, Xiaofan, where are you going?"
"To the meeting point."
"What? That's too dangerous, wait for Fei to come back and go with you."
"No time." Leaving that behind, Xiaofan dashed out, heading straight for the stairs, not even waiting for the elevator.
Just when everything was about to reach the final step, Lin Miaoke's disruption made Xiaofan's plans crumble completely. Does that idiot seriously think she can handle everyone on her own? How naive.
"Hey, Shen Zuimo, help me find a business card in my desk drawer; it should have the phone number for the criminal investigation team, as well as Lin Miaoke's number." Speeding in Ouyang Xiong's car down the street, going to the meeting point wasn't going to help; notifying the police might still be in time.
"Xiaofan, what's going on?"
"My plan's been disrupted, I need to fix this. Hurry up and find it."
"Alright, found it. The phone number is..."
