Dammit...

As Yi Qiu's men smirked and walked towards him, Xu Fan muttered a curse under his breath.

He had intended to hide his identity, play the role of a bystander and, by following the trail, root out the threats to Xia Yanyu in one fell swoop.

But now, with this kind of blundering teammate betraying him, it seemed unlikely he could keep his cover any longer.

"Stop!"

Clutching his fists, he was about to send the two annoying flies in front of him flying, when suddenly, from not far away, a pleasant voice rang out.

Yi Qiu and his gang ceased their actions and looked towards the direction of the voice.

Xu Fan frowned and turned to look as well.

He saw a woman with a graceful figure, accompanied by a man, jogging towards them.

"Why is she here?"

After seeing the face of the newcomer, Xu Fan couldn't help but frown...

The person who came was none other than Qin Mengyue, in plain clothes!

"Officer Qin, what's the matter?"

Soon, Qin Mengyue and her colleague arrived. Qin Mengyue, a true beauty, didn't get much acknowledgment for her gentlemanly demeanor from Yi Qiu, who merely nodded slightly before turning to look at Xu Fan.

Having patrolled nearby with her colleague and heard the name Xu Fan, she found it strange. She came over and, to her surprise, the person surrounded by the bodyguards was indeed Xu Fan!

"What are you doing here!"

Qin Mengyue immediately asked.

"Hehe, Officer Qin, you know this guy too? Could it be that he has a criminal record?"

Before Xu Fan could respond, Yi Qiu had already leaned in.

"..."

Qin Mengyue silently pursed her lips, thinking how could she not know him when they lived together every day...

Unsure of what trouble Xu Fan had gotten into this time, Qin Mengyue exhaled and said to Yi Qiu, "Yi Qiu, how about you hand him over to me for handling."

"This..."

Yi Qiu hesitated greatly. He had finally caught an opportunity to deal with Xu Fan and was reluctant to let it go.

At that moment, the male colleague beside Qin Mengyue stepped forward.

"Yi Qiu, do me a favor and leave, please."

"Eh, sure, Officer Zhao, we will leave that guy to you."

Qin Mengyue's colleague seemed to hold a not-so-low position, and Yi Qiu didn't dare to offend him, so he agreed right away.

"Hmm, Yueyue, who is this handsome guy?"

After Yi Qiu and his group left, Xu Fan curiously turned his gaze towards the man by Qin Mengyue's side.

The man stood over one meter eighty tall and looked dashing in a suit, especially with his fair, handsome face seemingly holding the potential to be a "pretty boy."

"What's it to you?"

Unfortunately for Xu Fan, Qin Mengyue had no intention of explaining; instead, she shot him a glare and then said to her colleague, "Zhao Yunfeng, thank you for your help just now."

Zhao Yunfeng smiled slightly and, after giving Xu Fan a brief look, said, "Then I won't disturb you any longer. You two chat."

Zhao Yunfeng clearly saw that Xu Fan and Qin Mengyue knew each other, smiled faintly, and walked away by himself.

Watching Zhao Yunfeng walk away, Xu Fan couldn't help but ask, "Tell me, Yueyue, isn't this guy into you? That would be so blind..."

"What did you say?"

Xu Fan made an offhand quip, only to suddenly feel a chill at his side. Turning his head, he saw Qin Mengyue's face as cold as if it had frosted over.

"Cough cough, just kidding..."

"Hmph, don't guess blindly. Zhao Yunfeng and I have just a working relationship, nothing as complicated as you think."

Staring at Xu Fan as he explained himself, Qin Mengyue questioned, "What are you doing here at the Xia family villa, you little rascal?"

"Hehe, can't you tell?"

With a cheeky smile, Xu Fan pointed to the work clothes he was wearing and said, "As you know, all my money went to sister Qingyan, so now I'm poor, I decided to work at the Xia family, combining work with study hehe."

"Haha…"

The wages for servants working at the Xia family villa were not low, at least over ten thousand, so Xu Fan's words were believable.

Qin Mengyue gave a dry laugh and then said, "Earn money? Do you know the situation at the Xia family right now? Are you not afraid that you might lose your life?"

"Hehe, of course, I know, but as the saying goes, 'fortune comes with danger'…"

Xu Fan definitely knew what was going on; he was there to resolve the issue. He simply brushed off Qin Mengyue's concerns with a laugh.

"You!"

This directly infuriated Qin Mengyue; what in the world was this guy blabbering about!

"Xu Fan, I'm warning you, right now, immediately pack up your things and leave the Xia family, understand?"

This time, having finally found a lead on Bingdilian, Qin Mengyue had vowed to catch him and avenge her colleague!

Bingdilian was no ordinary person; when the time came, she wouldn't have the luxury to take care of Xu Fan.

It was better for him to leave quickly rather than staying for the money and dying here.

"..."

But hearing this, Xu Fan wore a look of reluctance.

"Look here, Yueyue, blocking someone's livelihood is like murdering their entire family, haven't you heard that before?"

"If you can stay here, why can't I?"

"Hehe, Xu Fan, aren't you being a bit too naive?"

Seeing Xu Fan's fearless demeanor as if he didn't know he was in danger, Qin Mengyue sneered.

"You are just an ordinary person, how can you compare to me? I'm a police officer, I can use a gun, I'm skilled, what about you?"

"Don't think I'm trying to scare you, leave right now, you got it?"

"..."

Xu Fan really wanted to say that he too could use a gun, was skilled, and was good at picking up girls.

Thick-skinned, Xu Fan joked with a smile facing Qin Mengyue, "Hehe, Yueyue, you're so awesome; how about from now on, you protect me, and when I get my wages, I'll split them with you, how about that?"

"You!"

Qin Mengyue almost couldn't hold back from hitting him! She earnestly tried to persuade him, and yet this guy didn't take it seriously at all?

"Alright, alright, Yueyue, I know you care about me, but after all, I'm just a handyman. Whatever happens to the Xia family won't affect me."

Seeing how aggravated she'd become, Xu Fan honestly felt a bit touched in his heart.

This woman was, after all, concerned about him.

He winked at Qin Mengyue and then said, "Okay, I'll be off then. If you can't sleep at night, feel free to come find me."

"Get lost!"

Watching Xu Fan hop and skip away, Qin Mengyue cursed under her breath!

Heartless guy, and to think I was so concerned about you.

"Mengyue, is he your friend?"

Just then, Zhao Yunfeng walked over, and Qin Mengyue managed a forced smile, nodding, "Yeah, sort of a friend."

"Don't worry, when the time comes, I'll instruct the guys below to look after him. He won't have any problems," Zhao Yunfeng said, subconsciously moving a few steps closer to Qin Mengyue. Seeing this, she quickly stepped aside.

She visibly resisted his attempt to close the distance between them.

Turning to Zhao Yunfeng, who looked a bit embarrassed, she forced a smile and said, "Zhao Yunfeng, thank you."
