Chapter 1: The Eye-Catching Wedding

  "Get out of the car!" The tall and thin man snorted.

  "I'm telling you again, let go!" Ning Fang's voice was even colder.

  "You should be afraid." Zhu Mingjie's voice came at this time, "Unfortunately, it's too late to want to leave now..."

  Huh?

  A loud groan interrupted Zhu Mingjie's words, and Ning Fan suddenly punched out of the car window with a heavy fist. The thin man didn't react at all before being directly knocked flying. In the next second, the thin man heavily fell in front of Zhu Mingjie.

  "I don't want to get involved in this matter, just because I have nothing to do with it, not because I'm afraid of you!" Ning Fang's voice was cold and detached. "Don't bother me!"

  Boom!

  Ning Fan heavily closed the car door, started the engine, reversed quickly, and then stepped on the accelerator, speeding away.

  "Idiot!" Ye Rou spat out two words coldly, obviously scolding Zhu Mingjie.

  Zhu Mingjie's face was somewhat gloomy: "Ye Gongzhu, I underestimated the shield you brought."

  "He's not a shield, he's my man. If you have the ability, deal with my man first, then come find me! Otherwise, don't bother me!" Ye Rou coldly snorted,

  "Princess Ye, if he were really your man, you wouldn't let him die like this." Zhu Mingjie smiled faintly, "Doesn't the princess think that just because he has some skills, he can protect himself? Don't forget about that person's abilities."

  "Zhu Mingjie, investigate before speaking, lest you make a fool of yourself again." Ye Rou's absolutely beautiful face revealed a hint of mockery, "My man won't be an ordinary person, he is the disciple of Liu Daochang!"

  "Is it Liu Daochang?" Zhu Mingjie's expression changed slightly. "Liu Daochang has been missing for ten years, where did this disciple come from?"

  "Believe it or not, it's up to you." Ye Rou's face was cold and calm.

  "Yeh Gongzhu, even if he is a disciple of Liu Daochang, I must remind you that Liu Daochang has been missing for ten years, and whether he is alive or dead, no one knows." Zhu Mingjie said slowly.

  "You can bet on it, Liu Daochang is dead." Ye Rou's face was full of disdain. "Alright, Zhu Mingjie, I've said my piece, you can get out of here. Tell that pig to first openly and fairly defeat my man, then come back and try to bully me!"

  "Princess Ye, you shouldn't say that about him." A spark of anger flashed in Zhu Mingjie's eyes.

  "Get out!" It was the long-legged beauty next to Ye Rou who spoke up this time.

  Zhu Mingjie's eyes flashed with a hint of anger, but in the end, he only muttered one word: "Leave!"

  The thin man had already crawled up from the ground, and the four of them quickly got in the car. Less than a minute later, the Lamborghini disappeared from Yeyou's line of sight.

  "Have you really decided to make him your man?" The long-legged beauty spoke up at this time.

  "How is it possible?" Ye Rou hummed softly, "I couldn't possibly let that dead scoundrel get the better of me!"

  "Zhu Ming Jie will really do it." The long-legged beauty's tone was slightly strange.

  "That dead rascal took advantage of me, he's got to pay the price!" Ye Rou gritted her teeth.

  "After all, he did save you." The long-legged beauty shook her head lightly.

  "He has that kind of ability, he definitely won't die." Ye Rou disagreed, "Besides, if he's really in danger, Liu Daozhang will definitely show up."

  "He might hate you." The long-legged beauty's tone seemed to have a hint of helplessness.

  "It doesn't matter." Ye Rou still didn't care, "Anyway, I also hate him."

  Ning Fan didn't know about this conversation, but he knew that he had been screwed over by Ye Rou today. Although he didn't want to get involved in Ye Rou's affairs at all, it was clear that he had already been dragged into it.

  Although he just told Zhu Mingjie to stop bothering him, he felt that Zhu Mingjie might still come to trouble him, and now he was only unsure of how much trouble it would be.

  This made Ning Fan quite annoyed. Originally, the trouble brought by Zhao Qingxue had already made him worried and anxious for some time, but now that this trouble might be resolved in a few days, Ning Fan thought his life would soon become easier. However, before he could even catch his breath, Chen Zixuan's trouble was still unresolved, and now Ye Rou's weirdness brought another problem to his doorstep. Was it destined that troubles would never cease around him?

  "At first, I really shouldn't have saved her!" Ning Fan thought angrily in his heart.

  It can be imagined that Ning Fan knew, even if time flowed backwards, even if he knew the subsequent development, he would still save her, not because she was beautiful, but because seeing someone die without helping didn't conform to his principles.

  "Never mind, it's useless to think too much, just face it when the time comes." The car stopped in front of Xiangcai Pavilion, and Ning Fan's mood also calmed down. Since things have already happened and can't be changed, he might as well face them calmly.

  Xiangcai Pavilion is a Hunan restaurant in Qingyun City. Although it's not considered a high-end place, Xiangcai Pavilion has a good reputation and is known as the most authentic Hunan restaurant in Qingyun City.

  This Hunan restaurant has two floors, but no private rooms. The second floor is all card seats. Ning Fang had just walked into the Hunan restaurant when he received a call from Hu Linlin, who had arrived ahead of him and was now on the second floor.

  Ning Fan quickly found Hu Linlin at a window seat on the second floor. It was clear that Hu Linlin had dressed up simply, and although she looked a bit pale, she seemed more mature and charming.

  "Ning Fan, I was just waiting for you to order." Hu Linlin said while pouring tea for Ning Fan.

  "You order, I'm not picky about food, just get what you like." Ning Fan sat down.

  "That's it, I won't be polite anymore." Hu Linlin nodded and quickly called the waiter, "Bring a diced pepper fish head, spicy chicken, winter bamboo shoots with meat...and a soup, and some green vegetables...that's about it."

  Finally, Hu Linlin looked up at Ning Fan: "Want a drink? Or maybe some beer?"

  "Let's go, have a drink." Ning Fan nodded.

  "First, bring us four bottles of beer." Hu Linlin handed the menu back to the waiter, "Could you hurry it up a bit?"

  "Alright, just a moment." The waiter took the menu and turned to leave.

  Hú Líng picked up her teacup, took a sip, and gazed at Ning Fang with a pair of beautiful eyes, wanting to speak but hesitating.

  After a long while, Hu Linlin finally spoke up: "Ning Fang, have you found out about He Wei's situation?"

  "I didn't go ask around." Ning Fan shook his head and then softly let out a breath, telling the truth, "It was me who called the police to catch him."

  "Huh?" Hu Linlin's eyes widened in shock, looking incredulous. "How is this possible? Ning Fang, you two weren't always close, were you?"

  "Yes, I also thought our relationship was good." Ning Fan's tone had a hint of melancholy, "Until last night."

  Actually, Ning Fan and Hu Linlin's relationship isn't that close. In the past, he wouldn't have told her these things, but now Ning Fan urgently needs to confide in someone. Many things weigh heavily on his mind, a heavy burden for him. If it were before, he would probably tell Tongtong, unfortunately, he can't do so now.

  The reason why Ning chose to confide in Hu Linlin was actually very simple, that is, Ning couldn't find anyone else to confide in. Compared to others, Hu Linlin was relatively familiar with him, and since she happened to be present at the time, he naturally told her about it.

  "What happened last night?" Hu Linlin asked hastily.

  "Last night, when the three of us were together, He Wei put drugs in my beer and also put drugs in my cigarettes. Luckily, I was a police officer for three years and discovered something was off in time. Today, He Wei thought I had become addicted to drugs and asked me to go get that cigarette again, so I directly called the police." Ning Fan said simply, "I think they should have found drugs on He Wei's body."

  "What? How can Wei be like this?" Hu Linlin looked particularly shocked, "No matter what, he can't let you take drugs! This is going to ruin your whole life!"

  "It's all about money." Ning Fan sighed, "Someone gave him a large sum of money and told him to do this."

  "Who has such a great feud with you?" Hu Linlin looked very puzzled, "And He Wei, even if others gave him money, he couldn't betray his friends!"

  "I think he never considered me a true friend." Ning Fan smiled faintly.

  "But after all, we are classmates." Hu Linlin sighed softly, "Then, what will happen to He Wei now? I heard that the crime of drug trafficking is very serious."

  "His drugs must have been given by someone else, it's considered illegal possession of drugs, not trafficking. Depending on the amount he has on him, he might need to spend a few years in prison or maybe just a few days and then be released, nothing too serious will happen." Ning Fan shook his head, "I hope he is willing to expose who gave him the drugs, that way he can also make amends."

  "Ning Fan, who did you offend this time?" Hu Linlin asked with some puzzlement.

  "Never mind, let's not talk about it. The dishes are here, let's eat." Ning Fan shook his head. Although he wanted to find someone to vent to, he didn't want to tell Hu Linlin everything after all. At the end of the day, Hu Linlin was just his classmate.

  "Alright, never mind. I'll drink with you." Hu Linlin didn't ask any further and instead let out a soft sigh, "I suddenly miss high school so much."

  At that time, everyone was still very innocent.

  Time seemed to have gone back to the past, and Ning Fan and Hu Linlin no longer talked about current events, but instead chatted about those interesting things in high school. Of course, they would occasionally gossip about who was doing what nowadays.

  Two people chatted and drank, Ning Fan's mood also improved unknowingly, time naturally passed quickly, unknowingly, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening, the restaurant was about to close.

  "Hu Linlin, let's go, you can't drink anymore." Ning Fan called the waiter to pay the bill and then stood up to leave.

  Hú Línlín held onto the table to stand up, picked up her bag, and took a step forward, but it was a stumble, and she fell forward. Nǐng Fán quickly stretched out his hand to support her, and with this one move, Hú Línlín's entire body leaned against him.

  Hú Línlín seems to have really gotten drunk. Although she can hold her liquor pretty well, tonight she also drank almost ten bottles of beer.

  Ning Fan couldn't push her away at this time, now that things had come to this, he could only send her home.
