Xu Fan raised his hand and the three men under He Yunwei's command were so frightened that they pissed themselves. He Si watched from the side and couldn't help feeling a sense of vicarious pride.

After all, he was "friends" with Master Xu.

As he watched the three men stand up with their tails between their legs, looking resentfully towards him, a smirk of schadenfreude appeared on He Si's face.

He thought to himself that it wasn't his fault they were humiliated, after all, he had warned them right at the start.

"Hehe, gentlemen, I apologize for the inadequate hospitality today. I still have to attend to Master Xu, so let's postpone our business to another day, shall we?"

The corners of his mouth turned up in a smile as he ushered the three men out of the private room, feeling ripples of contentment in his heart.

He figured, with Xu Fan's face to consider, his future dealings with them would likely bring about even bigger concessions!

"Hehe, Master Xu, what exactly brings you to see me this time?"

Recent vexing business problems had dissolved effortlessly after Xu Fan showed up, and now, with a beam of delight, He Si turned into a groveling sycophant before Xu Fan.

"Hehe, He Si, you've got quite the nerve," Xu Fan said with a chuckle.

The fawning and obsequiousness from He Si was met with a cold and piercing gaze from Xu Fan.

"Using me as a gun to hinder your business rival?"

"This!"

He Si thought he had already gotten away with it, but Xu Fan now laid bare his true purpose for coming, causing sweat to bead profusely on He Si's forehead!

"Do you think you can handle this gun steadily?"

"I, I was wrong, please forgive me, Master Xu..."

Recalling the thunderous methods that Xu Fan had previously employed, He Si's eyes filled with terror, and he swallowed hard in fear.

"Hmph, I'll spare your life this time, but if there's a next time, I will punish you severely!"

Xu Fan snorted coldly; he had seen through He Si's ploy as soon as he had entered the door but had remained silent because he had something to delegate to him.

Now seeing He Si crouch before him in true fear, Xu Fan hummed and then said, "You've been mixed up in Jinling's affairs for years; if I asked you to look into something, could you do it?"

"Look into what? Please, please tell me, I'll do my utmost..."

Having already angered Xu Fan, He Si was anxious and fearful, seeking to make amends for his mistake.

Xu Fan twisted his mouth, then said, "You've got a wide network in Jinling. Recently, have you heard about someone called Bingdilian coming to Jinling from abroad?"

"Bingdilian?"

He Si raised an eyebrow. He had heard this name before; it seemed to be someone remarkable from Cross Border...

Thinking carefully about the recent rumors, He Si shook his head and said, "Master Xu, I truly haven't heard anything about Bingdilian coming to Jinling recently..."

"..."

This could be because Bingdilian was cautious and hadn't let much slip. Xu Fan furrowed his brow and asked, "Then have you heard about someone wanting to hire a hitman recently?"

Bingdilian coming to Jinling could only mean one of two things: either for the drug trade or for a job.

"This..."

With a wry smile, He Si grinned; there were too many people who wanted others dead. Jinling was a single piece of cake that inevitably led to conflicts of interest. Hiring killers had become all too common...

"Master Xu, there are indeed quite a few, but as for who hired Bingdilian, I really don't know..."

Xu Fan massaged his temples, guessing he wouldn't get much out of He Si in a short time.

"Later on, have your men look into this for me. Whether Bingdilian is here for business or for a hit, I need to know everything clearly."

"Ei ei, don't worry, I'll have all my men gather information right away."

He Si agreed without hesitation. For some reason, a sudden insight flashed through Xu Fan's mind, and he looked intently at He Si.

"Hmm, He Si, Bingdilian wouldn't happen to be here to do business with you, would they?"

"This! How could this be possible!"

Upon hearing this, He Si immediately broke out in a cold sweat!

Seeing a hint of suspicion in Xu Fan's eyes, he hurriedly explained, "Master Xu, please don't get the wrong idea, although I, He Si, am ruthless, I would never make money this way, let alone with our Hei Yun..."

As He Si spoke passionately, he accidentally seemed to reveal something that shouldn't have been disclosed. With a jolt, he immediately cut himself off.

"Hei Yun what?"

Xu Fan looked over at He Si expressionlessly, sensing that this guy might have secrets unknown to him.

"That, Master Xu, I beg your pardon, I can't tell you, even if you were to kill me, I wouldn't reveal a single word."

"All I can tell you is that we would never engage in such activities that harm our virtue."

"..."

He Si would rather upset himself than reveal any secret about Hei Yun, which sparked a trace of curiosity in Xu Fan's heart.

But seeing He Si's resolve to face death, Xu Fan pursed his lips and let it go.

"Fine, since that's the case, I'll trust you this time, but I hope you can find the information I want as soon as possible."

"Rest assured, I will do my utmost."

...

After leaving the Jinling International Hotel, Xu Fan walked alone, strolling in the neon lights.

The plight of Qin Mengyue stirred a ripple in his heart, which is why he decided to take action this time.

If he could eliminate Bingdilian through He Si's connection, that would be perfect.

Of course, even if that wasn't possible, using He Si to gather this information and giving it to Qin Mengyue would still help her a lot.

If it came to exerting more effort, Xu Fan would have to consider it carefully.

After all, ruining his peaceful and carefree life for such a character would be too much of a loss.

"Hmm?"

Gathering his thoughts, Xu Fan glanced to the side and saw a bright white Maserati slowly following him, driving parallel to his path.

It seemed that having noticed Xu Fan's gaze, the window of the sports car slowly rolled down.

Night breeze lifted the slightly curled waterfall-like hair, revealing a flirtatious and gorgeous facial beauty appeared before Xu Fan.

"Lan Sister?"

Bumping into Xiao Lan here took Xu Fan by surprise.

Getting a closer look at her newly changed and shiny sports car, Xu Fan smiled faintly, guessing that the crisis at Jade Firm was likely resolved after his last intervention.

"Get in, want to go for a drive?"

Xiao Lan reached out with her delicate fingers and beckoned, her exquisite face truly enchanting under the neon lights.

Xu Fan saw this and grinned, saying, "Sister Lan, in the dead of night, you, a gorgeous woman, taking me, an innocent young man, for a night drive, might not be appropriate, right?"

"..."

For such a beauty to beckon with a finger, what man wouldn't fall at her feet, yet Xu Fan was being coy?

Half annoyed and half amused, Xiao Lan looked at Xu Fan and invited him again, "Are you getting in or not?"

"Well, getting in isn't out of the question, but there's just one issue..."

"Hmm? What's the issue?"

"Hehe, your car, is it shock-proof?"
