School Beauty's Peerless Soldier

Chapter 403: Little New Year's Eve Gala


The status of Lingyan Pavilion today was the result of Xiao Tianfang leading these people, fighting for their lives.

Night Drunk Bar, even more so, was the blood and sweat of Hu Busan.

All of this, how could Ke Longxiang be allowed to destroy it at will?

"Zhou Zhanlong."

"Master, your orders."

No longer looking at Ke Longxiang, Xu Fan called out to Zhou Zhanlong standing by and ordered, "Tie them up, find a place, and let them reflect for a few days."

"Understood."

The intention of Xu Fan was simple, he had no plans of letting Ke Longxiang and his group go just like that.

Since Ke Longxiang had too many connections behind him, unless absolutely necessary, killing him was not an option, but neither was letting the tiger return to the mountain a consideration for Xu Fan.

Zhou Zhanlong received the order and immediately sprung into action.

In less than half an hour, a group of confidants had arrived at Night Drunk Bar. Taking advantage of the darkness, they tied up Ke Longxiang and his group and transported them out of the bar.

"Master, this…"

Hu Busan and Su Suoshi, who had been rather fired up earlier, now calmed down and both felt that this action was a bit too impulsive.

After all, if things went wrong with this matter, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Now the two were pondering if Xu Fan's approach was a bit too rash.

Xu Fan glanced at them indifferently and said, "What? Afraid of retaliation from people in Shanghai?"

"It's not that…"

The two shook their heads; if they were really afraid, they would not have acted that way just now.

Upon careful consideration, it seemed there was only this option.

If not for today's outrage, the future would only hold a slow death tormented step by step by Ke Longxiang.

The arrow was on the bow, it had to be shot.

Thinking about the upcoming troubles, Hu Busan's face was clouded with gloom.

"Master, what do you plan to do next?"

With Ke Longxiang's disappearance, it wouldn't take long for the news to reach Shanghai. Then, whether it was the Crown Prince Party or Ke Longxiang's family, they would all be pointing their spears at Xu Fan.

Soon, they would definitely come asking for people from Xu Fan.

"Eat what should be eaten, play what should be played, why worry so much?"

"What we need to worry about now, is not us."

Xu Fan candidly voiced his thoughts; he was too lazy to care so much. After all, it wasn't him who had lost a son.

Those who needed to weigh the pros and cons were not him either.

All he needed to think about was, when people from Shanghai came asking for someone, how much he should charge as a consulting fee for helping to discipline the child.

...

The next few days were calm.

After all, they were rid of an annoying fly.

Tonight was Chinese New Year's Eve, originally Zhou Keren and Qin Mengyue had invited him to go out and have fun, but Xu Fan had politely declined.

It wasn't that he didn't want to give face, but tonight Douyu Platform was holding a New Year's Eve Gala, and at that time, Miaomiao and Guan Shimeng were both going to perform on stage.

Xu Fan could not miss it.

The performance tonight was an opportunity for Guan Shimeng, and although she had grown a lot during this period, Xu Fan still couldn't ease his mind.

Even though this girl had never mentioned it, she had always hoped that he would be there to accompany her.

Xu Fan didn't want to disappoint her.

Leaving early, Xu Fan drove straight to the Jinling Century Hotel.

Previously, Han Dong Nuanxiu had helped him get an access card, and now taking the elevator, the route was completely unobstructed.

The power of internet media was now not to be underestimated, and upon entering the main venue, one could see that there were many cameras set up around.

Even some stars who frequently appeared on screen had arrived at the venue.

Before, Han Dongxu had revealed to Xu Fan that to enhance the exposure of this evening's gala, Douyu Platform had invited some celebrities to perform.

Consequently, quite a few media outlets and talent agencies attempting to discover new faces at this gala had shown up.

"Xu Fan, you're here,"

At that moment, Guan Shimeng and Miaomiao approached gracefully from the side.

Since today was the official performance, considering the upcoming camera shots, makeup artists had already specially made up the two of them backstage.

Bare-faced they were already enough to make others envious, now dressed up and made up, Xu Fan was stunned.

"Hehe, Brother Qianfan, does Miaomiao look good?"

Miaomiao, holding Guan Shimeng's arm, started joking with a giggly smile.

Quite different from Guan Shimeng's classical dress, Miaomiao looked just like a tipsy monkey king straight out of a two-dimensional world.

A different style, but both were breathtakingly beautiful.

"Perform well later, don't miss this opportunity,"

Xu Fan smiled and advised warmly after giving Miaomiao a glance.

Many talent agents were present today, and with Guan Shimeng's qualifications, as long as she performed normally, scouts would definitely be interested in her.

"Mmm-hmm, I will try my best,"

Guan Shimeng, fully aware of the importance of this opportunity, nodded vigorously.

She did not want to disappoint Xu Fan.

The performance was about to start soon, and Xu Fan didn't want to hold them back. After a brief chat, he let them return backstage to prepare.

At the audience area, Xu Fan casually found a seat and sat down.

Waiting for tonight's gala to begin.

As the gala was about to start, a commotion was heard at the main entrance.

The surrounding journalists swarmed over.

It was as if some major celebrity had arrived.

Curious about who it could be, Xu Fan turned to look and couldn't help but sneer.

The newcomer was not a celebrity, but in Jinling, her popularity was no less than that of those female stars.

Xia Yanyu,

Surrounded by media personnel, Xia Yanyu, dressed in an OL outfit, didn't show even a slight courteous smile despite the continual flashing of cameras.

But this cold-as-ice attitude didn't dampen the journalists' enthusiasm.

The woman before them was the head of Jinling's Xia Family, also famously known as Jinling's Ice Queen.

If they could extract some news from her, tomorrow in Jinling, it would definitely be a headline!

"Sorry, I refuse to answer,"

In response to the incessant group of journalists, Xia Yanyu's eyes showed a hint of disgust; she lowered her head and directly squeezed out of the surrounding crowd.

Fortunately, another somewhat famous person arrived soon after, and the group of journalists quickly gave up their pursuit of her.

Xia Yanyu rubbed her temples and let out a sigh of relief.

However, when she looked up and saw the figure in the distance, her heartbeat uncontrollably hastened.

He was here too...

She had not expected to encounter Xu Fan at tonight's engagement.

Thinking back to Xu Fan's indifferent expression that night, a flicker of pain crossed Xia Yanyu's eyes.

He definitely didn't want to see her; perhaps the best choice for her right now was to pretend she hadn't seen him.

Yet, a sense of unwillingness surged in her heart, as if she was trying to grasp something swiftly slipping away from her sight.

Xia Yanyu took a deep breath and, with no thought of turning back, walked towards Xu Fan's location...
