It concerned Xia Yanyu's father, so it's no wonder she acted like that.

Now that he carefully connected the two events, Xu Fan couldn't help but think, Could it be that what Xia Hengzhou left for Xia Yanyu was a clue to Xia Hengzhou's disappearance?

Given that the Clan Leader of the Xia Family disappeared without reason, it was indeed inconceivable, and whatever secrets it involved, he guessed that they would not be understood anytime soon.

About the secrets of the Bronze Box, Xu Fan decided not to tell Xia Yanyu at this time.

As the item had already been stolen, telling her would just add to her worries.

After leaving the Black and White Chess Club, he soon received a call from Zhou Zhanlong.

Zhou Zhanlong seemed to put in an exceptional effort in the tasks Xu Fan had assigned to him.

The car was found, but the person driving it turned out to be a rich second generation youngster whom Feng Huang had tricked from who knows where.

This kid never expected to become Feng Huang's scapegoat, getting blocked by a crowd and left utterly dumbfounded.

This outcome was also expected by Xu Fan, so he told Zhou Zhanlong to have someone send the car back to him and then hung up the call.

"Jiuyang Warm Jade..."

It seemed like everything was related to the Jiuyang Warm Jade.

Xu Fan had once asked Mu Qingyan about the origin of the Jiuyang Warm Jade she had.

According to her, it had been passed down by her father, but as for its origin, it had been buried in the earth along with her prematurely deceased father.

Xiao Tianfang was dead, and Xia Hengzhou was missing; Xu Fan couldn't find anyone who could give clear answers.

Just a step away from achieving Innate potential, Xu Fan indeed had expectations for the Jiuyang Warm Jade, but for now, it seemed his expectations were of little use.

All he could do at the moment was to temporarily set aside this matter.

...

The end of the year was close, and there were only a few days left until the winter break.

Guan Shimeng's name predictably appeared on the Douyu Spring Festival Gala list.

This girl could sing and dance, so arranging her show was naturally a piece of cake.

Honestly, Xu Fan was also looking forward to seeing her shine at this emerging live broadcast gala, which would undoubtedly help her path to stardom in the future.

Not just her, Miaomiao was also on the list.

Because of this, she had stressed to him repeatedly that he absolutely had to spend some quality time with her after the New Year's Eve gala.

These days, everyone was busy preparing for the upcoming final exams, which was somewhat boring.

Xu Fan's life, however, was quite busy.

These days, he had been helping Duoduo with her treatment, and her condition had essentially healed.

With continued training, he believed she would soon be able to live like a normal person.

This little girl was truly adorable, but she also caused Xu Fan some headaches.

Essentially, she was the biggest hurdle in breaking through the last barrier with Qingyan.

"Qingyan, I just bought a new luminous wristwatch. Let me come over tonight, and we can see under the covers if it really glows," he said.

Idly sitting in the classroom, Xu Fan held his phone, teasing Mu Qingyan.

Suddenly, Qin Mengyue sent him a text message.

"Xu Fan, do you have a girlfriend?"

Xu Fan opened the message, and it took him by surprise.

Since their accidental encounter, this woman had always kept her distance from him, as if wishing to draw a demarcation line.

What did this message mean?

Xu Fan truly couldn't fathom what she was thinking.

"No, why?"

He replied to her, and quickly, a reply came back.

Xu Fan read it and almost choked.

"That's good, because now you have one."

This remark, overwhelmingly domineering, clearly meant that this woman wanted to be his girlfriend...

Xu Fan felt a bit dumbfounded.

What was this woman really trying to sell with her gourd?

"Qin Mengyue, are you out of your mind?"

Xu Fan felt sure that there was a catch.

Her throwing herself at him was not typical of Qin Mengyue.

"Cut the crap, Xu Fan, this is a mission assigned to you by the organization, you must complete it for me today."

"..."

Hearing this, Xu Fan pretty much understood that this woman seemed to be wanting to use him as a shield...

Before long, even Zhou Keren had sent him a text message.

Telling him to properly complete the mission handed down by the organization.

After asking Zhou Keren, Xu Fan began to understand the situation.

Qin Mengyue, working as a police officer, could be considered to be following in her father's footsteps.

However, her father, Old Qin, didn't feel comfortable having his precious daughter work in such a dangerous profession.

Like every year, he had arranged a blind date for Qin Mengyue.

Thinking about getting her married off quickly to be a good wife and mother.

Qin Mengyue, who loved her job, was unwilling to agree, so she found Xu Fan to act as her shield.

Why would such a thing fall to him?

Xu Fan was utterly speechless.

But based on their intentions, it seemed he couldn't escape this predicament.

Worried that he would run away, as soon as school was out, Zhou Keren personally made sure he went home.

As for Qin Mengyue, she had already gone home early.

Now, out of her police uniform and in casual clothes, she was just waiting to nab Xu Fan, this strong man, and take him home to fool her parents about the man they wanted her to meet.

"I'm telling you two, can't you find someone else for this kind of thing?"

Xu Fan really didn't want to do this, he had already helped Zhou Keren handle this matter once before, and now, with a sullen face, he complained.

"That's not okay, we can't let some other man pretend to be Yueyue's boyfriend. Yueyue is so beautiful, what if someone takes advantage of her?"

"Xu Fan, your performance last time was really good, I'd only trust you not to let Yueyue be taken advantage of."

Zhou Keren seemed pretty confident about Xu Fan completing this task, and was now fully endorsing him.

"..."

Xu Fan didn't react much, while Qin Mengyue, who was nearby, blushed upon hearing this.

If it really was about taking advantage, who could outdo this guy?

After all, the biggest advantage had already been taken by him.

While her best friend still hadn't noticed her feelings, Qin Mengyue then said, "Xu Fan, cut the crap, are you going or not?"

Xu Fan smacked his lips and muttered, "I can't do this for nothing, there has to be something in it for me."

"There will be something in it."

"Stop dawdling, tonight, you're mine."

Without waiting for him to open his mouth to explain, to assert he wasn't selling himself, Qin Mengyue, fiercely, grabbed him and went out the door.

Once they were downstairs, she dragged him into the police car parked below.

"Alright, come with me."

After saying this, she pulled out the siren, and with a fierce stomp on the accelerator, she sped off.

Xu Fan stared blankly at this woman, feeling utterly speechless.

Rather than saying he was her pretend boyfriend at this moment, it seemed more like he was a criminal she had caught…
