"Hey, hey, hey! Don't get me wrong! He and I are just ordinary friends."
No sooner had she sent the message to Qin Mengyue, than the other party immediately started to explain.
Between the lines, it was apparent that she was quite anxious. Xu Fan chuckled heartily, thinking to himself that he should let her grumble about him when she had nothing better to do, and then he promptly typed another message in response.
"Ordinary friends, then why do you care about him so much?"
"This..."
Qin Mengyue seemed to be unsure of how to define her relationship with Xu Fan, hesitating for quite a while without replying.
Xu Fan held his phone, waiting, one eyebrow quirked, thinking that maybe this girl pretended to be harsh to him verbally, but actually, she might have developed feelings for him already.
Oh crap, why isn't she replying?
Suddenly, Xu Fan became somewhat interested in Qin Mengyue's explanation and started waiting for it with impatience.
Dingling, dingling!
However, before he received Qin Mengyue's reply, the call ringtone of his phone sounded instead.
"Hmm? Sister Qingyan?"
The caller was Mu Qingyan, and Xu Fan wondered, shouldn't she be taking Xiaoduo to Professor Meng Feis's place today?
After a brief hesitation, Xu Fan answered the phone.
"Xu Fan! Help! Save us!"
No sooner had the call connected, than an anxious voice from Mu Qingyan erupted!
It seemed as if she was in some kind of trouble; faintly, he could hear Mu Xiaoduo's crying, and the sound of someone banging on a door from outside.
Xu Fan immediately grew tense!
"Sister Qingyan, don't be afraid, tell me quickly, where are you now..."
Beep beep...
Xu Fan instinctively wanted to ask Mu Qingyan where she was, but before he could finish, a busy tone sounded at the other end of the line.
"Damn it!"
Xu Fan cursed in anger, nearly smashing his phone in the process!
"I knew it, I should have gone with her!"
After a moment of thought, Xu Fan guessed the situation.
Mu Qingyan should have been taking Xiaoduo to see Professor Meng Feis today; the danger she encountered now was probably related to the professor!
He must find her as quickly as possible!
Logically speaking, since it was already night, as a servant of the Xia Family, Xu Fan was not supposed to go out at will, but now, he didn't care about those rules anymore.
After throwing on clothes arbitrarily, Xu Fan opened the door and dashed out of his dormitory.
Due to the threat of Bingdilian, there were many guards stationed inside the Xia Family's villa at the moment.
If Xu Fan took the main path and tried to go through the front gate, he would undoubtedly be blocked by the guards.
Moreover, with the bad relationship between him and Yi Qiu, that guy might purposely make things difficult for him, preventing him from leaving the Xia Family villa this evening.
Xu Fan didn't have time to waste!
He took advantage of the dim moonlight, moving swiftly through the Xia Family's garden, speeding toward the high walls of the villa with incredible velocity.
During the day, he had memorized all the security patrol routes of the Xia Family; now he did his best to avoid the guards, aiming to quickly leap over the walls of the Xia Family and find Mu Qingyan!
"Who's there! Stop!"
The wall was just ahead, and with one more dash, he could easily jump over the Xia Family villa's high wall.
But just then, a harsh shout suddenly came from behind him!
"Damn it..."
Xu Fan inwardly cursed, aware that any rash move might only bring more bodyguards to the scene, causing himself even more trouble.
Right then, Xu Fan stood still, silently bowing his head and using his clothes to cover his face.
"Who's there! Sneaking around, what do you want to do!"
The sound of hurried footsteps grew closer, and soon the group of bodyguards had caught up.
Upon hearing the voice of the bodyguard leading the pack, Xu Fan couldn't help but snort internally.
Indeed, it's a small world after all, he hadn't expected Yi Qiu and his men to be the ones chasing after him.
"Kid, behave and turn around. Otherwise, don't blame me for not being gentle!"
Clearly, Yi Qiu and his men mistook Xu Fan for a spy infiltrating the Xia Family.
Having no time to explain, Xu Fan, with his head lowered and voice subdued, said, "I'm not a bad guy. I suggest you mind your own business and let me leave quickly."
"Pah! Little brat, still trying to act tough with me?"
Yi Qiu completely disregarded Xu Fan's well-meant warning!
He looked at Xu Fan's silhouette with a cold sneer, "Kid, let me tell you, don't act so high and mighty in front of me. No matter who you are, you'll have to lie down at my feet, got it?"
"Hmph, there was another arrogant fellow like you during the day. If it weren't for someone stopping him, he would already be in the hospital by now! You got that?"
The boastful springboard that Yi Qiu was taking pride in was clearly the Xu Fan he had encountered earlier that day.
Hearing this, Xu Fan snorted contemptuously at Yi Qiu's ignorance of what was truly at stake.
If it hadn't been for Qin Mengyue's timely arrival earlier, you and your good-for-nothing henchmen would be laid up for at least half a year!
Taking a breath, Xu Fan said, "I'll say it one last time, I hope you won't meddle in my affairs."
"Kid! Still daring to be arrogant with me?"
However, Xu Fan's attempt to reason did not earn Yi Qiu's forgiveness, but instead ignited a fury within him!
He lunged forward like a tiger pouncing on its prey, with his ferocious fists bringing a gust of wind as he aimed a blow at Xu Fan's back!
"This!"
"Such speed!"
"This guy, probably can't block boss's move..."
At the instant Yi Qiu suddenly made his move, his followers all widened their eyes in shock!
They were astonished by Yi Qiu's decisiveness, as well as the moves he displayed instantly.
The boxing technique Yi Qiu was using seemed somewhat plain, devoid of any flashy highlights.
However, this was far from the truth; military boxing is one of the most formidable techniques in the army, having been passed down and improved over several generations, it had become an incredibly fearsome form of boxing.
It needed no flashy embellishments; every punch was aimed to kill and secure victory!
The gust of wind approached! As the punches reached from behind, their domineering power about to be unleashed upon him, Xu Fan snorted coldly. Without turning his head, he threw a palm strike directly to meet the attack.
Smack!
The sound of fist meeting palm ripped through the night like a bolt of lightning, illuminating the shocked and pale faces of Yi Qiu's followers as clear as day!
They had thought their respected boss Yi Qiu would easily subdue this guy, but now...
It seemed as though the opponent was using some sort of leverage technique, effortlessly blocking Yi Qiu's punch, even as Yi Qiu, teeth clenched and veins popping, exerted all his might.
Yi Qiu couldn't hurt him in the slightest...
As seconds ticked by, the group finally came to believe that their boss Yi Qiu, who could easily take them down in fewer than ten moves, was now effortlessly restrained by this person.
And at that moment, the other party's impatient voice also rang out.
