Lin Fei and Wang Hu chatted casually, as if they were old friends who hadn't met in a long time.

Wang Hu looked around and immediately asked, "Instructor Lin, what's going on here?"

Lin Fei briefly explained the situation, and when he mentioned Liu Xiaoya, Wang Hu was clearly stunned. Later, when he heard that Hei Ge dared to point a gun at Lin Fei, Wang Hu was completely enraged and wanted to take down Hei Ge.

However, since Wang Hu had inadvertently saved Hei Ge, Lin Fei didn't intend to pursue the matter further. He glanced at Hei Ge and said, "I'll let you off this time. If you dare to threaten people with guns again, be prepared for me to take your head."

Hei Ge nodded repeatedly and answered eagerly.

At that moment, Butcher walked over, glanced at Hei Ge lying on the ground, and sneered, "Didn't I just say, if you fall into my hands, I would make you..."

Before the words were finished, Hei Ge seemed to remember this matter and hurriedly squeezed his crotch. Unfortunately, just as he tightened his crotch, Butcher kicked his groin, and an earth-shattering scream followed, practically shaking the earth and alarming the spirits. Unable to bear the mental and physical trauma, Hei Ge fainted on the spot.

Wang Hu was ashamed. He looked at Lin Fei, then at Butcher, and approached Lin Fei, saying, "Instructor Lin, there's something I want to tell you. I hope you won't blame me."

Lin Fei was confused, wondering about such matters just moments after meeting. Wang Hu seemed unlikely to have anything bad against him, and if it were something from the past, then blaming was unnecessary.

"Go ahead, let's hear it. If it's not serious, I won't mind," Lin Fei replied.

His words were ambiguous, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with Wang Hu; the final outcome depended on what Wang Hu had to say.

Understanding Lin Fei's meaning, Wang Hu knew he might not have grasped the depth of conversation as a young recruit, but as a prosecutor now, he understood many conversational intricacies. Thus, he got Lin Fei's point.

He said, "Instructor Lin, how about we go inside to talk? It's inconvenient here, and it's been a while since we last met, so we might as well chat."

Ordinarily, Lin Fei disliked casually dining with others, but today Wang Hu was his former student, and his loyalty hadn't changed, so Lin Fei agreed to Wang Hu's suggestion and followed him into Guanghan Palace.

Upon entering Guanghan Palace, the boss came out to welcome them, practically acting like a waiter, nodding and bowing behind Wang Hu, and occasionally trying to be friendly with Lin Fei and the others. If not for past events, Lin Fei might have felt goodwill towards them, but unfortunately, time couldn't turn back, and that goodwill no longer existed.

Guanghan Palace's boss personally led Wang Hu and Lin Fei to the best room there, served the dishes himself, and stayed by their side to await orders.

Meanwhile, the boss was even more curious. He was there to greet Wang Hu but hadn't expected him to know mischievous Lin Fei, and he vaguely saw that Wang Hu seemed more respectful towards Lin Fei.

The boss regretted it internally, having offended a major figure, but ultimately, he apologized, and Lin Fei responded casually without really paying him any attention. However, the boss felt satisfied at least Lin Fei didn't hold him accountable; not being blamed was a good thing.

After everyone was seated, Wang Hu showed great skill. He first lifted his glass and toasted Lin Fei, then raised his glass again to toast Butcher, and after sipping from each cup, he put the glass down and sat.

It had to be said that over the years, Wang Hu's belly had grown, and more importantly, his alcohol tolerance had increased, which gave him the confidence to toast everyone individually.

Wang Hu could also see the three following Lin Fei must be his close aides, so forging good relationships was ideal, but the girl on the side complicated things.

"So, what exactly did you do wrong by me?" Lin Fei smiled.

Seeing Wang Hu being so cautious, Lin Fei understood his concerns but didn't reveal them, instead asking.

Wang Hu awkwardly smiled, apologized, and said, "Instructor Lin, today's incident is actually all my fault."

"What? Your fault? What do you mean?" Lin Fei asked, puzzled.

At this point, Wang Hu explained, "Why did this lady come here? Was it because someone bought her?"

Everyone nodded. Lin Fei had heard from Butcher that this was indeed the case, though they hadn't seen the buyer; however, everyone present wasn't foolish, and from Wang Hu's words, he must be the guest who planned to buy Liu Xiaoya.

Sure enough, Wang Hu knew his words revealed he was the one wanting to buy Liu Xiaoya. He said, "Actually, I'm the one who bought this young lady, but I didn't know she caught the eye of Instructor Lin's friend, so this matter started with me; it was my mistake. I'll drink a penalty cup."

Lin Fei nodded, and Wang Hu mastered the essence of diplomacy. His actions and words minimized the matter, but for Lin Fei, it was indeed trivial.

Moreover, it's clear from this moment how much Wang Hu valued Lin Fei.

"If that's the case, it seems you need Butcher's consent," Lin Fei spoke, leaving the decision to Butcher, who he'd agree with regardless-

Butcher stood up and asked, "You're Wang Hu, right? I'm Butcher. I like Liu Xiaoya; what do you say?"

Evidently, although Wang Hu was Lin Fei's apprentice, he hadn't recognized Butcher and the others. After all, it had been several years, and at the time, he was in the newest batch of recruits, not quite familiar, but he had seen Lin Fei's photo in a top-secret file, which he dared not forget.

Wang Hu's mind raced; he realized this tall man's response would determine the forthcoming situation, everyone watching him.

Wang Hu felt like a nervous student facing a critical test, unable to answer, sweating bullets.

Suddenly!

Wang Hu had a flash of inspiration. He stepped forward, bowed to Liu Xiaoya, and said, "Madam, please forgive my previous unknowing mistakes."
