"Hmm? What's up?"

Seeing Xia Xiaodie looking so serious, as if she had something important to discuss, Xu Fan couldn't help but ask.

"Xu Fan, I'm planning to go to Diannan."

These days, with XD Jewelry's business stabilizing, there's not much that needs Xia Xiaodie to handle personally.

Diannan, located at the border of Huaxia, is a well-known jade production area, and Myanmar next door is a major producer of emeralds.

Xia Xiaodie thought that if they could establish themselves there and secure a stable supply of quality jade, XD Jewelry's development would see a substantial boost.

"Well..."

To convince Xu Fan, Xia Xiaodie seriously began to speak about the benefits of expanding the market there.

Indeed, for the jewelry business, expanding there was necessary, as the jade materials provided by Sister Lan were still insufficient.

Listening to her, Xu Fan found nothing wrong with Xia Xiaodie's argument.

Except for one thing he didn't expect.

Xiaodie would want to go to Diannan at this time.

The information Situ Jing held pointed directly to Diannan.

There, too, was another Bronze Box, and after much consideration, Xu Fan ultimately decided to go and investigate.

Opportunities like this are fleeting, and Xu Fan didn't want to waste it.

"Alright, coincidentally, I need to go to Diannan too. We can go together."

With a slight smile, Xu Fan agreed.

Seemingly not expecting Xu Fan to also go to Diannan, Xia Xiaodie looked at him in surprise and asked, "Hmm? You big dummy, are you going to Diannan because of Feng Huang's matter?"

"Hmm?"

If Xia Xiaodie hadn't mentioned it, Xu Fan would have indeed forgotten that Feng Huang went to Diannan not long ago.

According to her, she was investigating matters related to her donation being embezzled.

Confident in Feng Huang's abilities, Xu Fan wasn't too worried as she hadn't responded for a while.

But with Xia Xiaodie bringing it up, Xu Fan couldn't help but feel some concern.

"Did Feng Huang tell you anything?"

He immediately asked Xia Xiaodie.

"Ah? You... you didn't know?"

Xia Xiaodie looked surprised, recalling that Feng Huang had reminded her not to tell Xu Fan about it.

Having been bothered by that foreigner earlier, she had forgotten.

"Uh, well... it's actually nothing..."

Seeing Xu Fan's scrutinizing gaze, Xia Xiaodie stammered, trying to dodge the topic.

She thought if Feng Huang knew she had spilled the beans to Xu Fan, she would definitely be in trouble.

"Ouch, why did you hit me..."

Before she could change the subject, Xu Fan knocked on her forehead.

Holding her head, Xia Xiaodie looked at Xu Fan with a face full of grievance.

Why did this guy hit her...

"What? Do you want me to knock on your butt too?"

This stubborn girl, still not convinced?

Xu Fan rolled his eyes, unable to hold back.

"Do you think keeping this from me does her any good?"

"By doing this, you're just going to hurt her, you know? Silly girl..."

"This..."

Hearing Xu Fan's admonishment, Xia Xiaodie couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Indeed, with Xu Fan's help, Feng Huang's troubles could be resolved faster.

After taking a breath, Xia Xiaodie began to explain.

"Feng Huang has indeed encountered some trouble."

"I believe she mentioned it to you before she went to Diannan, right?"

"That donation did indeed have issues, but the forces behind it seem very strong. Feng Huang couldn't handle them, and she almost fell into their trap."

"Really?"

Upon hearing Xia Xiaodie's explanation, Xu Fan frowned.

A fake charity organization, but the backing was strong enough that even Feng Huang couldn't deal with them?

This matter seemed more complicated than it appeared.

Indeed, given Feng Huang's character, she wouldn't back down easily, even if she couldn't defeat the opponent.

Her staying in Diannan was clearly to wait for another opportunity to act.

Xu Fan didn't want to see her taking risks alone. Whether it was for Feng Huang, Xia Xiaodie, or the rumored Bronze Box, the trip to Diannan was necessary.

"Alright, I'll take you home first, and in a few days, we'll head to Diannan."

However, there were still some matters to deal with before leaving. Xu Fan greeted Xia Xiaodie and drove her to her apartment.

After dropping her off, Xu Fan drove to the Qing Gang old mansion.

On the way, Xu Fan pondered a question.

Should he meet Gongsun Qin's old nun master before leaving?

After all, she knew much more about the Bronze Box than he did.

Back then, she didn't tell him because his cultivation level was too low. Now that he had stepped into the threshold of the Entering Dao Realm, she should see him in a different light.

"Unfortunately, time is a bit tight..."

After thinking it over, he decided against it.

Going to and from Yuehua Nunnery would take at least three days. With Feng Huang having already been in Diannan for a month, Xu Fan really couldn't spare those three days.

With that in mind, Xu Fan drove to the Qing Gang old mansion.

After parking the car, he walked inside.

Entering the yard, he saw Han Dongxu talking with some Qing Gang high-rankers.

"Boss! Finally, you're here."

Han Dongxu, who had been resting these days, looked fully recovered.

Apart from some weakness, he seemed perfectly fine.

Excitedly approaching, Han Dongxu knelt on one knee before Xu Fan.

Arriving and seeing him perform such a grand gesture, Xu Fan was a bit taken aback.

"Han Dongxu, what are you doing?"

With a chuckle and scolding, Xu Fan helped him up.

"Boss, I'm truly grateful to you."

Han Dongxu stood up, looking a bit reluctant.

If it hadn't been for Xu Fan's care, the Qing Gang might have disbanded when Han Dongxu left Shanghai.

Though he had been recovering in Jinling, Han Dongxu always stayed concerned about Shanghai.

For everything Xu Fan did for his brothers, Han Dongxu felt nothing but gratitude.

"Alright, stop with all this unnecessary talk."

Knowing this guy could start tearing up in front of him, Xu Fan chuckled and scolded, cutting him off.

Among brothers, who needed these formalities?

"In a few days, I'm leaving Shanghai. You'll take care of things here for me, alright?"

This was the main reason for his visit.

The trip to Diannan would take at least two to three months.

Someone had to watch Shanghai in his place.

Han Dongxu was clearly the best choice.
