"This..."

Xu Fan's interrogation was like a bucket of cold water poured over everyone's heads, instantly sobering up their greed-fogged brains.

Three million was indeed a tempting number, but now the problem presented before them was, did they have the life to spend it?

Money is important, of course, but to want money over life was obviously too insane...

They looked at each other, and quickly, the obsession to seek wealth in the face of danger completely collapsed, and the hands tightly gripping the machetes gradually relaxed.

With a clanging sound! Someone, unbeknownst who, dropped the machete in hand.

This was followed by the continuous clinks and clanks of machetes hitting the ground.

"You! You can't do this! You can't!"

With just a single question from Xu Fan, nearly a hundred men gave up resistance, and Meng Feis and his assistant, seeing this, instantly turned pale with fear!

This group of over a hundred men was their only hope, and their defection now meant that their own deaths were imminent?

"Pick up the knives for me! If money's not enough, I, I will add more!"

Meng Feis couldn't imagine what fate awaited him once Xu Fan's men stormed the building; now, in a bid to save his life, he was all in!

As long as he could save his life! No matter how much money it took, he was willing to spend it!

But the result surprised him.

The crowd that had previously followed his every command now rushed forward, raising their hands and landing several slaps on both of their faces!

"Go to hell, damn foreign devil, thinking you're all that just because you have some stinking money?"

"Don't even think about dragging us to die with you!"

"You, you…"

Meng Feis was quickly overthrown by the mob, and as he looked up at the faces before him, he fell into utter despair...

Thud... Thud... Thud...

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps reached his ears. Meng Feis looked up in confusion and saw Xu Fan walking towards him.

He looked up and suddenly realized that he seemed particularly insignificant in front of the other man.

Without any resistance, the agreement that Meng Feis and Mu Qingyan had signed was seized by Xu Fan.

With a surge of inner strength, the contract in Xu Fan's hands was instantly reduced to shreds.

"In your next life, don't trick women and children; it's not what a man should do."

Gently patting Meng Feis's shoulder, after giving a piece of advice, Xu Fan then picked up Mu Xiaoduo from the operating table.

"Sister Qingyan, let's go."

Taking Mu Qingyan with him, Xu Fan and the three walked toward the main entrance, the nearly hundred men inside the clinic unconsciously cleared a path for them without Xu Fan's command.

Bang!

At that moment, the doors to the operating room were burst open. He Si and a group of his confidants were at the forefront, leading a large force that charged in!

"What!"

The nearly hundred thugs in the black clinic, upon seeing He Si and the men by his side, instantly turned pale with fear, barely managing to stay on their feet!

They had heard Xu Fan mention He Si over the phone at the beginning, but who could have imagined that the He Si he was ordering around was actually the Lord He Si, a big shot in both the underworld and law-abiding society!

Watching as He Si now approached Xu Fan like a servant, everyone instinctively breathed a sigh of relief. It was fortunate that they had made the right choice, otherwise...

"Master Xu, I'm late. You, uh, and your friends, nothing's gone wrong, has it?"

He Si caught up to Xu Fan, wiping his sweat, and asked anxiously.

"No, you arrived just in time. These people here, I'll leave them for you to deal with. Can you handle it?"

"Eh eh! Rest assured! I guarantee to arrange everything well for you!"

Hearing Xu Fan's instruction, He Si immediately agreed.

Xu Fan nodded lightly and said, "I've taken note of this favor. Also, prepare a car for me; I need to give someone a ride home."

"Yes, yes! Understood!"

Xu Fan had clearly remembered the favor this time, and He Si, chuckling with a heh heh, turned to look at his own driver.

"You, later on, you'll take Master Xu and his friend home, got it?"

"But, but..."

"But my ass! Can't you understand what I'm saying?"

Seeing his driver hemming and hawing, He Si swung his hand and slapped him across the face!

A loud smack left a red imprint on the face, and the driver, holding his cheek, bowed his head, instantly not daring to speak.

But in his heart, he still felt wronged, thinking to himself, wasn't it just a few days ago that you said this Rolls-Royce Phantom was for your use only and no one else's...

He Si had substantial influence in the underworld, and handing over this matter to him meant that it would likely be handled very beautifully, without bringing any future trouble to Xu Fan.

Under the driver's guidance, Xu Fan and Mu Qingyan, along with her daughter, got into the car.

"Qingyan, don't worry, Xiaoduo has only been drugged with anesthesia; she'll be fine once she sleeps it off and wakes up."

In the car, Xu Fan saw that Mu Qingyan was distracted and couldn't help comforting her.

"Mm, this time, thank you, Xu Fan..."

Whether it was due to Xu Fan or the luxury interior of the car, Mu Qingyan appeared somewhat uneasy at that moment.

After weakly responding to Xu Fan, she bowed her head, and it was unclear what was going through her troubled mind...

Shortly after, the driver dropped Xu Fan and Mu Qingyan, along with her daughter, at the base of Mu Qingyan's apartment building.

After carrying Xiaoduo out, Xu Fan followed Mu Qingyan and they both went upstairs together.

As soon as Mu Qingyan opened the door, Xu Fan, holding Xiaoduo, walked into her bedroom.

Xiaoduo was not in serious trouble, and after Xu Fan carefully placed her on the bed and checked on her briefly, he turned to leave the room.

"Qingyan?"

When he turned around, however, he saw Mu Qingyan standing at the doorway, looking at him.

Caught on the spot, Mu Qingyan felt somewhat embarrassed and immediately lowered her flushed face.

"Qingyan, are you okay?"

"No, I, I'm fine..."

As Xu Fan approached her, Mu Qingyan felt her heartbeat quicken and nervously took a few steps back.

She really didn't have the courage to discuss what she had been thinking about with Xu Fan.

She had just mistakenly thought of Xu Fan as her own man...

"Qingyan, don't worry, nothing will happen from now on. It's also getting late, so I'll be leaving first."

Xu Fan didn't notice anything amiss with Mu Qingyan and, smiling, greeted her as he prepared to leave.

You see, he had secretly escaped from the Xia Family, and if he were discovered, it would cause quite a bit of trouble.

"No, don't go!"

But just as he turned around and hadn't gone far, Mu Qingyan behind him nervously seized his hand.

Feeling the warmth and softness of her hand like jade, Xu Fan turned around, somewhat surprised.

Under the warm orange light, Mu Qingyan in her bare makeup looked different; aside from her gentleness, she had an added touch of allure.

Her pearly teeth biting into her clear pink lips, as if she had made some significant decision, she looked bravely into Xu Fan's eyes with her shy yet enchanting gaze.

"Stay tonight, okay?"
