"..."

Although Xu Fan meant no harm at the time, Xiao Yanyu's stubbornness still made it difficult for her to accept Xu Fan's invitation.

"No need, Mr. Jiya, I'll take my leave now, I'll bother you another day."

Without any hesitation, she declined Xu Fan's kindness. Apologetically, she nodded to Mr. Jiya, and without turning back, she headed towards the exhibition hall's main gate.

Perhaps declining Xu Fan's kindness would cost her the business deal, but Xia Yanyu had no regrets.

She didn't like owing anyone, let alone Xu Fan.

She couldn't afford to owe that much...

"Pretentious..."

Heaven knows what was going through the mind of this ice mountain. Watching Xia Yanyu's figure disappear at the gate, Xu Fan curled his lips and muttered a word.

"Mr. Jiya, shall we go?"

Hearing Mr. Jiya's intention just now, it seemed he had something to tell him. With Xiao Lan and Xia Yanyu both gone, Xu Fan asked, and then he and Mr. Jiya left the exhibition hall.

To facilitate attending this exhibition, Mr. Jiya's accommodation was arranged in the presidential suite of the Jinling Century Hotel.

"You guys go out first."

Soon after, under Mr. Jiya's lead, Xu Fan entered the presidential suite where Mr. Jiya was staying.

It seemed that the matter to be discussed was not suitable for others to know. As soon as they entered, Mr. Jiya had all his men leave the suite.

Xu Fan wasn't fussy, he casually sat on the sofa, picked up a wine glass from the side, poured himself a glass of red wine, and smilingly said, "Mr. Jiya, what is it that you wanted to tell me, now is the time, right?"

Thump.

Rather than Mr. Jiya beginning to speak, the moment was marked by the absence of outsiders, and the once sought-after Mr. Jiya was now kneeling respectfully in front of Xu Fan.

"What's this?"

Ignoring the glass of wine worth tens of thousands of dollars in his hand, Xu Fan put down the glass, looking puzzledly at him.

"Mr. Xu might not recognize me anymore, but Jiya has always kept you in his heart. My life was saved by you."

"What?"

Xu Fan raised an eyebrow in surprise. From his words, it seemed his initial feeling was not an illusion.

This guy had met him before.

"Sorry, I really can't remember..."

When he was serving in the White Crescent, the people he had saved numbered not ten thousand, then definitely a thousand, and in Thailand alone, he had carried out more than ten missions.

Xu Fan honestly couldn't recall who this renowned Thai person was...

Mr. Jiya didn't show much dissatisfaction with Xu Fan's forgetfulness at that moment.

With understanding, he smiled and said, "Mr. is a noble person; Jiya does not dare to ask to be kept in your heart. However, back then, it was indeed Mr. who took action and saved me and a group of people from a predicament."

"If I'm not mistaken, there was a woman named Phoenix with you at that time."

"Cough cough!"

The name 'Phoenix', like a triggered time bomb, scared Xu Fan so much that he jumped up from the sofa!

All the alarms in his mind went off at that moment, and Xu Fan hurriedly rushed to the window, cautiously looking towards all the high points around.

Seeing no suspicious targets, he warily drew the curtains.

"Did she send you?"

Fuming, he approached Jiya, lifted the kneeling Jiya off the ground like a little chick with both hands.

"Cough cough..."

Jiya barely caught his breath, he pointed desperately at Xu Fan's hand and waited until Xu Fan let go before gasping for air as if his life depended on it.

"Speak up, where is she now..."

Thinking of that sassy girl, Xu Fan still had goosebumps all over his body.

On the eve of retiring from White Crescent, he had mustered the courage to forcefully kiss that woman; had he not run fast, his grave grass might be three meters high by now.

Feng Huang, this fiery girl, held grudges extremely. Xu Fan had heard from Azure Dragon that although she didn't mention it, she remembered that night's incident very clearly.

If she knew he was in Jinling, he wouldn't need to bother living any longer.

"Hey, I'm talking to you!"

Seeing that Mr. Jiya was still catching his breath, Xu Fan looked cautiously around and then urged him on.

It was fortunate that only the two of them were left in the room, for if others had seen how the esteemed Mr. Jiya was being treated so harshly by Xu Fan, it would probably incite a group to fight Xu Fan to the death.

After catching his breath, Jiya got up from the floor.

He awkwardly grinned at Xu Fan, then explained, "Sir, you might have misunderstood; I am not an emissary from Miss Feng Huang, it was merely coincidence that I encountered you."

Ironically, Jiya had come to Huaxia for business without any hope of again meeting his savior.

The way Xu Fan had acted just now thoroughly convinced Mr. Jiya that the young man before him was indeed the one who had saved him that day.

At this moment, seeing his benefactor alive and well before him, his expression couldn't help but become somewhat excited.

"Sir, my intention in asking you to stay today was not for anything else, I merely wanted to ask how I might repay you for saving my life."

"It's not necessary."

As for the eager gratitude of a stranger, Xu Fan appeared utterly uninterested and waved his hand dismissively, breathing a sigh of relief for himself.

As long as this guy wasn't sent by that girl Feng Huang, he was satisfied.

As for the so-called repayment?

Xu Fan really wasn't interested.

"Okay, spare yourself the meal and the repayment. Since there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

After finishing the red wine in his glass, Xu Fan stood up and prepared to leave.

"Wait, sir, this..."

The reaction from Xu Fan truly made Mr. Jiya feel a bit embarrassed.

Even if he had casually asked for a hundred or two hundred million, it would have made him feel slightly better...

"You're really annoying, you know that?"

As Mr. Jiya blocked him, Xu Fan impatiently furrowed his brows.

But ultimately, he was somewhat helplessly swayed by the man's guilt-ridden expression.

"I don't even know where I saved you, so, as for the so-called repayment, I never thought about it; you don't need to be so insistent, understand?"

If he had saved someone during a mission, then any reward due would have been received long ago, and Xu Fan didn't feel that the other owed him anything.

He glanced indifferently at the other party and said, "If you really want to repay me, then just live well, yeah, live your life, and I'll live mine, don't bother me, got it?"

"This..."

After saying this, Xu Fan didn't turn back, opened the door, and left the room.

Mr. Jiya stood in place, stunned for a moment before he could gather his thoughts.

Then, thinking of someone, Mr. Jiya couldn't help but bitterly smile.

"Maybe, this is all I can do..."
