In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of a high-end restaurant.
The handsman and beautiful woman combination attracted curious and envious glances from those around
them.
Feng Xiaoxiao’s face was already stunning, and paired with the little red dress she'd just bought downstairs, her
exposed shoulders added a touch of seductive charm to her beauty.
"| feel a happiness that | could never even dream of."
Overlooking the city nightscape, Feng Xiaoxiao held up a glass of red wine and gazed lovingly at her lover across
the table. "Remember how poor we were in college? Eating street food, | often snuck glances at this place,
fantasizing that someday we might have dinner here together. But back then, it was just a thought. | never
imagined that a few years later, we'd really be sitting here."
"That's why we're becoming better people; isn’t that what growing up is all about?"
Lin Fan too was full of emotion. "At least in my perception, the Provincial City wasn’t the sas | see it now.
Back then, the buildings didn’t seem so short, nor the lights so many."
"That's because we always walked downstairs, never had the chance to cto such a classy place. Plus, by
nine at night, we had to be back in the dorms, so we couldn't see the neon lights."
Feng Xiaoxiao gently brushed her dark hair and looked at Lin Fan with a dreamy expression. "But you're still as
handsas ever."
"You've changed; you've beceven more beautiful."
There are always many memories between old friends, but this pleasant tof chatting and laughing was
interrupted by the arrival of a figure.
A suited man in his early thirties stood smiling silently before their table, directing a smile at Lin Fan.
"What a coincidence,"
"Isn’t this what they call meeting someone by chance?"
Lin Fan scrutinized Liu Cheng’en standing before him. This guy actually showed up here.
"| just wanted to experience the legendary swamp expert firsthand."
Liu Cheng’en’s words made Lin Fan frown slightly. "Someone must have sent you here, right? Why not let them

"Deputy County Magistrate of Red Flag County in Jiangning City, indeed quite arrogant."
Liu Cheng’en directly pulled out a chair and without anyone's consent sat himself between Lin Fan and Feng
Xiaoxiao. He simply gestured, and a tall woman immediately approached and placed a lit cigar in his fingers.
"This isn’t the first arrogant move of yours. If you're going to interrupt someone’s date so rudely, just speak your
mind or say what you mean."
Lin Fan put down his wine glass, looking at Liu Cheng’en with interest. This uninvited guy clearly wasn't just here
to have a look. Even a heel could deduce that Wang Yaoyang sent him.
"Is it possible this restaurant also has my shares, so my appearance isn’t abrupt? | believe there's a
misunderstanding here, and I'm here to resolve it."
Liu Cheng’en smiled, pulling out a golden card from his pocket and placing it on Lin Fan's table.
"This is the restaurant's golden card, a gift to dispel misunderstandings. | hope you'll honor us with your
presence often; we can becclose acquaintances."
"Mr. Liu, did you forget? I'm the Deputy County Magistrate."
Lin Fan reached for the golden card
on the table, looked it over, then

This face-rejecting refusal made Liu Cheng’en’s expression change, but he quickly smirked. "You're right; | was
being careless. People within the system are naturally more prudent, but this is merely a small gift. I'll be sure to
watch my manners next time."
"No need. We're not alike, and there’s no need to know each other. Besides, | dislike this gof human Russian
Roulette."
Lin Fan's face was grim, his chilly demeanor making Liu Cheng’en’s face twitch.

Liu Cheng’en snapped his fingers, and immediately seven or eight strong men approached from the corner,
surrounding Lin Fan and Feng Xiaoxiao.
Liu Cheng’en didn’t forget to smile as he added: "County Magistrate Lin, take your tto drink. Rest assured,
your woman, I'll take care of her for you, very well indeed."
