"Earlier, Dragon Elephant said everything tonight was on the house, but is he digging into his own pockets?"

Having stepped down from the DJ booth, Xu Fan squatted in front of Ke Longxiang and asked.

"..."

Could Ke Longxiang even utter a single word at this moment?

Let's not even mention his nearly broken back, just his mood was gloomy beyond words.

He had originally intended to show the boss a thing or two, hence his reckless talk.

Who would have thought that right after his boast, Xu Fan would throw him off the stage.

In Shanghai, this was the most damn embarrassing moment of his life.

Now, seeing the admiration in the eyes of those around Xu Fan, Ke Longxiang's face turned darkly grim.

He lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and said, "Xu Fan, don't mess around."

"What, Dragon Elephant is still afraid of losing face?"

Xu Fan squinted at Ke Longxiang and asked.

With his butt up in the air in that sand-sprawling-pheasant's pose, could he really think he could salvage his image?

"Everyone!"

Standing up straight, Xu Fan looked around the dance hall and said, "Just now, Dragon Elephant and I had a little chat, and he's in a fantastic mood today. So, he's decided to treat everyone to a fun night."

"All expenses tonight will be on Dragon Elephant's tab, please don't save money on his behalf. Otherwise, Dragon Elephant might get angry."

"..."

The crowd, seeing Ke Longxiang lying prostrate on the ground, nearly burst out laughing.

With this pathetic sight, it's really hard to imagine how Ke Longxiang could possibly be in a fantastic mood...

They didn't care too much anyway; someone else was taking the heat, the sky could fall and it would be Xu Fan holding it up; they didn't bother being polite with Ke Longxiang, and started to spend wildly.

This guy was dismissive even of Ke Longxiang, it seemed like he would be calling the shots in Shanghai from now on.

"Xu Fan, you!"

Having had the bar street snatched from him, now this guy, after beating him up, wasn't forgetting to screw him over! Ke Longxiang's face was blacker than coal.

A single bottle of this wine was nearly ten thousand yuan. If everyone took one bottle, he'd be eating dirt tomorrow!

He gritted his teeth and glared fiercely at Xu Fan.

"What? Dragon Elephant, do you have any complaints?"

Xu Fan patted Ke Longxiang's cheek, squinting as he spoke, "Just don't forget, you're lying on the ground right now."

"..."

A corpse player has no right to complain; Ke Longxiang unwillingly lowered his head.

What could he do if he disagreed?

Caught red-handed by Xu Fan tonight, even if he asked him to lick his boots, he'd have to make them spotlessly clean.

After a long silence, Xu Fan spoke again.

Looking at Ke Longxiang, he smiled and said, "Tonight I can assume that Dragon Elephant forgot that this street now belongs to someone with the surname Xu."

"But in the future, if you come over here causing trouble, I can't guarantee what will be waiting for you."

This group of people, no matter how you look at it, they all have some background, too harsh a lesson could stir up trouble, and enough is enough.

"Get a few people to watch Dragon Elephant for me, really take good care of him, he's picking up the tab soon."

With that said, two bodyguards ran over and stared fixedly at Ke Longxiang.

Forget running, even if he tried calling for backup right now, it would be futile.

Ke Longxiang and his group had to wait until everyone else had their fun before they could finally leave.

The bar's expenses for the entire night almost suffocated him.

Borrowing from here and there, plus pawning off one of his own luxury watches, he finally gathered enough cash to settle everyone's bill.

"Dragon Elephant, everyone had a great time today, I had a great time too, and I believe you, hmm, had a great time too."

"If you get the chance, you should come more often."

Xu Fan, leading the boss and looking enthusiastic, escorted Ke Longxiang and his group to the bar's entrance.

"..."

Ke Longxiang almost exploded with anger, "Damn Xu Fan, there will be other meetings, but you haven't had the last laugh yet!"

Biting his lip and glaring at Xu Fan, Ke Longxiang then led his group away.

Xu Fan shrugged his shoulders, didn't think much of it, and thought to himself that no matter what tricks Ke Longxiang had up his sleeve, he was ready for them.

...

After Ke Longxiang left, Xu Fan didn't stay long either and drove home.

After freshening up at home, he received a call from Zhou Keren.

Now living alone in Jinling, she was probably feeling bored and wanted him to chat with her.

"Mm, Keren baby, missing me?"

Xu Fan picked up the call and greeted her with a chuckling voice.

"I'm not missing you at all."

Zhou Keren chided playfully and then said, "There's something I need to tell you."

"Hm? What is it, you tell me."

Xu Fan asked casually, only to hear Zhou Keren say, "I just spoke with Yueyue on the phone and she knew you came to Shanghai, she said she wants to meet you tomorrow."

"What?"

Hearing this news, Xu Fan was so shocked he almost dropped his phone to the ground.

Qin Mengyue reaching out on her own, from any angle he thought about it, that didn't sound like a good thing...

"Uh, why did you tell her that..."

Xu Fan touched his nose and sighed awkwardly.

It was known that Qin Mengyue had come to Shanghai only after finding out about him and Zhou Keren.

To her, he probably deserved something akin to the ten great tortures of the Qing Dynasty as a way to vent her anger.

"Yueyue asked about it herself, she's just concerned about you."

"Besides, Yueyue is alone in Shanghai now, I'm worried about her too. It would be good for you to accompany her."

"And, maybe you can help her see our relationship without too much prejudice."

The relationship among the three of them was originally very close, and Zhou Keren truly didn't want it to fall apart just because she and Xu Fan had drifted from the group first.

At this moment, she was pondering how Xu Fan could effectively persuade Qin Mengyue.

However, in Xu Fan's view, her plan was far too simplistic.

He knew the complexity of the situation was well beyond her understanding.

"Alright, I'll try my best."

Not knowing how to explain to Zhou Keren, Xu Fan sighed and ultimately agreed for now.

After chatting for almost half an hour, Xu Fan finally hung up the phone.

As per Zhou Keren's directions, she had already given his phone number to Qin Mengyue, and sure enough, right before Xu Fan went to bed, he received a text from her.

The text, without any unnecessary words, clearly told Xu Fan the time and place to meet tomorrow.

Such a succinct message made Xu Fan almost think he was meeting with an underground resistance movement...

Unsure of Qin Mengyue's attitude towards his relationship with Zhou Keren, Xu Fan held his phone, pondering whether to call her to probe her thoughts.

To decide whether or not he should stand up the "tigress" tomorrow.

However, it turned out that he was being too naive.

He made ten calls, all ten were hung up on, and eventually, she just blocked him.

Qin Mengyue was still Qin Mengyue, Xu Fan couldn't help but laugh and cry as he set down his phone, starting to feel anxious about tomorrow's meeting...
