Every move was quick, and this sequence of motions soon reached its climax.

Xu Fan had one arm around Li Qinghe at that moment. Sensing his intention, Li Qinghe arched her back and then thrust her sword backward!

With that, all the actions were complete.

"Not bad."

Xu Fan nodded with satisfaction, tightened his grip around her slim waist, and pulled her back toward him.

Li Qinghe had used up a lot of strength in the arched-back maneuver, so when Xu Fan suddenly pulled her up, she couldn't control herself and stumbled, falling directly into Xu Fan's embrace.

Feeling Xu Fan's strong body, Li Qinghe felt as if all her strength had been drained from her in an instant.

There was even a yearning, a desire to hide in Xu Fan's arms forever.

Fortunately, being aware that there were still many people around, Li Qinghe, her face flushed, quickly wriggled out of Xu Fan's embrace.

Li Qinghe, with a red face, explained, "I, I just ran out of strength, so I..."

"It's okay, go have something to eat first."

Watching Li Qinghe trying hard to explain, Xu Fan just smiled and didn't make a big deal out of it.

She hadn't had a drop to drink till now. She definitely needed to eat something.

"Okay, I'll head over first."

Li Qinghe agreed and then walked over to the dining area.

At that moment, Xu Fan walked over to Wang Zhennan.

"..."

Watching Xu Fan approach, Wang Zhennan felt a pang of distaste.

This guy, hogging all the luck!

"Hmph, kid, don't think that by ingratiating yourself with Miss Li, she will help you resolve the trouble you've stirred up."

Wang Zhennan gave Xu Fan a cold look and snorted.

He was obviously referring to the backing behind Bullet Head.

"Don't worry, I won't bother others over such trivial matters," Xu Fan replied indifferently, showing no displeasure at Wang Zhennan's schadenfreude gaze and said no more.

"Hmph..."

Unsettled by Xu Fan's confident demeanor, Wang Zhennan was aggravated.

He wanted to see if this guy could maintain his composure like now when the backers of those guys showed up tomorrow!

"Alright, everyone gather round! Let's get back to work!"

Director, having rested, clapped his hands and gathered the crew to resume filming.

Soon, Li Qinghe and the antagonist were in place. At the director's "Action," they began fighting as rehearsed!

With Xu Fan's recent coaching, Li Qinghe had improved significantly! Her movements with the longsword were an exquisite embodiment of the heroine's spirit!

Even the director, who had been constantly dissatisfied, nodded in approval.

He knew very well that Li Qinghe's substantial improvement in such a short time was purely because of the bodyguard's intervention.

Seeing the close relationship between Li Qinghe and the bodyguard, the director would have liked to recruit Xu Fan as his martial arts director.

The scenes that kept getting NG before were now passed in one go.

With no harassment from the likes of Bullet Head, the scenes in the afternoon almost always went smoothly in one take.

Soon, the day's shooting quota was completed, and everyone began packing up the equipment, ready to head back to their lodgings for rest.

"You go back with Wang Zhennan and the others later. I'm leaving first to take care of some things," Xu Fan explained as he saw Li Qinghe changed and coming out.

"Okay, if you need anything, remember to call me,"

After a day's filming, Li Qinghe was very tired. She had already put the Bullet Head incident out of her mind and, without much thought, agreed to let Xu Fan leave first.

Then, Xu Fan drove away from Miaofa Temple early.

For gang members like Bullet Head, as long as one is willing to search and spend some money, their information can be quickly obtained.

Xu Fan quickly gathered information about the force behind Bullet Head.

Fu'an Gang.

According to the information, Zhao Shun, the boss of Fu'an Gang, mostly favored Jin Yutian Entertainment City at night.

Jin Yutian, an enterprise under Fu'an Gang, leveraged Zhao Shun's backing to offer a range of services including baths, massages, card playing, singing, and more...

As the boss, Zhao Shun almost visited daily to inspect, and incidentally check on the service quality of the girls.

With this information in hand, Xu Fan estimated that there was little chance of coming up empty-handed tonight.

Soon, night fell, and the dazzling neon lights of Jin Yutian came on, their warm glow hinting at the allure within, from where faintly carried the slightly off-tune singing of guests.

Xu Fan stood at the entrance of Jin Yutian Entertainment City, a slight smirk playing on his lips, surveyed the scene, and then walked inside.

"Boss, are you alone?"

At this moment, a manager dressed in business attire approached.

"Give me a private room. I'm not used to being with others,"

After Xu Fan spoke, he pulled out a stack of red bills from his pocket. The other's eyes lit up, and after happily accepting the money, immediately instructed, "Someone, please lead the boss to the bath!"

No sooner had she spoken than a man dressed in the bath center's uniform came over and led Xu Fan toward the bath center.

Xu Fan followed the staff member, taking in the situation inside the bath center.

Zhao Shun seemed to value this bath center greatly as it was filled with plenty of tough-looking men.

Stationed at every corner looking menacing, this arrangement presumably meant that none of the customers would dare to skip out on a bill.

"Alright, boss, here we are,"

Under the guidance of the attendant, Xu Fan arrived at the door of a private room. Xu Fan scanned around, his gaze landing on the largest room not far away.

"Is that room occupied?"

Following Xu Fan's gaze, the attendant smiled and said, "Boss, that's our largest private room. You really don't need such a big bath for yourself, and besides, our boss is currently soaking in there. I'm afraid you'll have to come another time."

"Oh, I was just asking." Hearing the attendant's reply, a satisfied smile briefly crossed Xu Fan's face...
