"Alright, stop here."

The Jeep had already entered the city limits of Diannan. After checking the location Cheng Baiye sent on his phone, Xu Fan decided to get off the car.

The incident involving Xiaodie happened at the hotel, proving that Cheng Baiye had spies there.

If Zhang Shicun and the others drove him back to the hotel now, it might reveal their plan.

"Okay then, Brother Xu Fan, if anything happens, make sure you inform me immediately."

God knows if Cheng Baiye has already brought out Azanmu. If they join forces to set up an ambush for Xu Fan tonight, he could be in danger.

Zhang Shicun looked at Xu Fan, giving him a serious reminder.

"Got it, I'm off!"

After Zhang Shicun finished his warning, the Jeep stopped. Xu Fan opened the car door and jumped out.

Cheng Baiye had arranged to meet him at a private club in Diannan.

Knowing that, Xu Fan had some understanding of this place from his previous investigations on Cheng Baiye.

This club was specially used by Cheng Baiye to entertain distinguished guests, and it offered an opulent lifestyle.

Many people took pride in being able to attend a banquet here, but many were also extremely afraid of this place.

It was a venue where Cheng Baiye entertained guests and dealt with personal vendettas.

Many who entered never came out again.

Tonight, whether or not he could come out after the banquet, Xu Fan wasn't sure, but he knew one thing for certain.

The man with the last name Cheng had to pay the price tonight!

After figuring out the location of the club, Xu Fan hailed a taxi and headed there.

About twenty minutes later, the taxi arrived at the entrance of the club.

"Little brother, we've arrived."

Apparently mistaking him for a distinguished guest of Cheng Baiye, the taxi driver showed Xu Fan an unusual amount of respect.

This amused Xu Fan.

If the driver knew the real relationship between him and Cheng Baiye, he would probably regret bringing him here.

"Thanks a lot, driver."

After paying the driver, Xu Fan got out of the car.

Once the taxi left, Xu Fan turned to look at the club's entrance. Several security guards in suits were standing guard.

Clearly, this was not a place just anyone could enter.

Standing at the entrance, Xu Fan lazily stretched, a glint flashing in his eyes as he scanned the entire club.

"Tsk tsk, it really is an ambush banquet."

Seeing through the setup within the club, Xu Fan squinted and muttered to himself.

Then, he walked towards the entrance.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

As soon as he reached the entrance, Xu Fan was stopped.

"What? You don't recognize the distinguished guest invited by Master Cheng?"

Xu Fan smiled as he joked with the guard.

"You're Xu Fan?"

The guard remained calm despite Xu Fan's teasing. Indeed, Cheng Baiye had mentioned earlier that a guest would arrive.

There was a hint of sympathy in his eyes as he looked at Xu Fan.

"That's right, it's me. Can I go in now?"

In Diannan, Cheng Baiye's reputation was well-known, and no one dared cause trouble on his turf.

Especially not tonight, which was clearly an ambush banquet.

Pretending to be someone else would be asking for trouble.

"Please, go ahead."

Immediately, the guard allowed Xu Fan to enter and led him inside the club.

After passing through corridors and alleys, Xu Fan soon arrived at the reception hall led by the guards.

"Mr. Xu, please wait here. Master Cheng will be here shortly."

Without much courtesy, the guards briefly instructed him and then left the reception hall.

It was already nighttime. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the reception hall, the outside view was no longer visible.

Xu Fan glanced around the reception hall, then sat down at the large table in the center.

"Someone!"

As soon as he sat down, Xu Fan snapped his fingers, signaling to the waiter by the door.

"Sir, is there anything you need?"

The waiter quickly approached upon hearing the summon.

With a slight bow, he asked for instructions.

"Bring me the menu first."

"This..."

The waiter hesitated upon hearing Xu Fan's request.

Master Cheng hadn't even arrived yet. Wasn't it a bit too early to start ordering?

"What? You don't know how to properly treat Master Cheng's guest?"

Seeing the waiter's hesitant expression, Xu Fan frowned and asked.

"No... I don't dare. Please wait a moment; I'll get it right away."

Fearing potential trouble from Cheng Baiye later, the waiter awkwardly agreed and quickly complied.

In no time, he brought a thick menu.

"Please... take a look."

"No need."

As soon as the waiter placed the menu in front of Xu Fan and was about to help open it, Xu Fan closed it with a single hand gesture.

Looking at the bewildered waiter, Xu Fan said, "Bring me one of all your signature dishes. The more expensive, the better."

"And as for the wine, give me your most expensive bottles. I'll taste them."

"This..."

Hearing Xu Fan's order, the waiter nearly spat out blood!

This guy was ruthless!

Wasn't this treating Master Cheng like a cash cow?

When Master Cheng first established this club, he insisted on luxury. Even a single vegetable dish cost over four figures.

Ordering all signature dishes and all premium wines would easily amount to over a million yen.

"Sir, isn't this a bit too much..."

Worried, the waiter looked at Xu Fan timidly and tried to dissuade him.

This was insane! Didn't Xu Fan fear that Cheng Baiye might kill him for this?

"What? Cheng Baiye invited me to dinner, and I can't order some appetizers?"

Contrary to the waiter's apprehension, Xu Fan felt no shame and asked with irritation.

Appetizers? Given his extravagant request, appetizers didn't quite fit.

"Sir, I'm really not authorized to approve this..."

Faced with a meal cost of millions, the waiter could not make the decision. He looked at Xu Fan helplessly and begged.

"Alright, I understand. You can leave now."

Realizing his request was putting the waiter in a difficult position, Xu Fan knew his words were intended for Cheng Baiye.

Waving the waiter away, Xu Fan glanced at the surveillance camera in the corner of the wall.

"Master Cheng, how long do you plan to keep me waiting?"
