Xu Fan's gaze stared directly into the camera.

In the surveillance room, Cheng Baiye saw this playful smile and couldn't help but be taken aback.

This guy, has he discovered that I'm watching him?

The reason Xu Fan was left alone in the reception room was nothing but caution.

Cheng Baiye hadn't forgotten the previous lesson learned from Xu Fan.

This time, he wanted to make sure he had this kid completely under control.

Even though this kid came alone, Cheng Baiye remained vigilant. He planned to wait until Xu Fan lost all patience before appearing as the victor.

At that moment, it wouldn't take any effort to make this kid despair in the carefully set-up trap.

But now...

There wasn't even a hint of panic or unease on this kid's face?

Recalling Xu Fan's calm demeanor while ordering food earlier, Cheng Baiye's mouth twitched. This guy's woman had just been kidnapped, yet he didn't look tense at all?

He still had the energy to mess with me?

"What's up? Cheng Baiye, are you too scared to see me?"

Not sure why this young man felt so fearless, Cheng Baiye pondered in front of the monitors. At this moment, Xu Fan's unhurried voice came through again.

"Third Master, what should we do?"

"What else? I'll go over..."

Hearing his subordinate's inquiry, Cheng Baiye said with a dark face. He reminded himself that Xu Fan was just putting on a tough act.

Now that the woman who could fight had been led away by using Xu Fan's woman, without her protection, what trouble could Xu Fan cause?

None.

At this moment, there were more than ten assassins outside the club targeting Xu Fan. With his skill of identifying stones, could he possibly detect the ambush?

Even if he could, so what?

Without that woman's protection, could he escape on his own?

"Remember to watch my gesture later, got it?"

Rising from his seat, Cheng Baiye adjusted his collar and looked seriously at his subordinates.

"Don't worry, Third Master, we won't make any mistakes."

Hearing Cheng Baiye's orders, the subordinate nodded seriously.

This wasn't the first time they were eliminating enemies for Cheng Baiye; they were quite skilled at it and couldn't possibly make mistakes.

This kid was bound to pay with his life for offending the local boss of Diannan!

After instructing his subordinates, Cheng Baiye left the surveillance room directly. With two bodyguards in tow, he strode towards the reception room.

"Hehe, brother Xu Fan, sorry to keep you waiting."

Having walked quickly, Cheng Baiye soon reached the reception room. He pushed open the door with a smile and looked at Xu Fan sitting at the dining table.

This harmless smile really made Xu Fan want to laugh.

This guy, he's quite good at playing dumb.

Fine, since he wants to play, I'll play along!

"Not too long of a wait, Third Master Cheng. Since you're here, can I order now?"

Smiling slightly, Xu Fan looked over at Cheng Baiye.

Seeing Xu Fan's playful smile, Cheng Baiye's mouth twitched involuntarily.

He couldn't help but recall Xu Fan's words when he was alone in the reception room earlier.

This guy had already earned a lot of jade from me and cost me a lot of money. Now, he wants me to treat him to a million-dollar meal?

This was like cutting a piece of flesh out of me.

Over my dead body would Cheng Baiye allow Xu Fan to swindle him for this meal.

"Waiter, bring the menu."

Waving a big hand, Cheng Baiye called for the waiter and pretended to be ignorant, saying, "Brother Xu Fan, since it's your first time here, I believe you haven't tried our Diannan specialties. Let me treat you to some of our local dishes today."

Spending even a dime on Xu Fan made Cheng Baiye feel the pain. He thought he could just get away with ordering a few local dishes.

After all, this kid wouldn't live long enough to enjoy it.

"That's not going to work."

About to start ordering, Xu Fan's voice suddenly rang out.

Cheng Baiye's mouth twitched, and he looked up at Xu Fan.

"Brother Xu Fan, what's the matter?"

Squinting his eyes, Xu Fan smiled and said, "Third Master Cheng, I'm not interested in specialties; I'm only interested in expensive ones."

"Since you invited me to dinner, you should entertain me well, right?"

"You..."

Xu Fan's attitude made it seem like Cheng Baiye was begging him to come for dinner. Cheng Baiye couldn't help but feel frustrated!

Silly guy, had he forgotten that his woman was still in danger!

"What? Third Master Cheng, are you that stingy?"

"..."

Hearing Xu Fan's taunt, Cheng Baiye took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and suppressed his anger.

Through gritted teeth, he said, "How could I be... since brother Xu Fan wants to eat, order whatever you like..."

With that, Cheng Baiye pushed the menu towards Xu Fan.

By now, he could only comfort himself that it was just some money. Treat it as a last meal for this audacious brat.

"This 880,000 per bottle wine, I want a case."

Thud!

As he was trying to comfort himself, Xu Fan's ordering voice came across, nearly making Cheng Baiye fall to the floor!

Damn it!

Could you at least be a little more discreet in ripping me off?

Staring wide-eyed at Xu Fan, trying to make him understand his situation, Xu Fan seemed like a meditative monk, with only the menu in his eyes.

"Uh, sir, we only have one case of this, and you two probably can't drink that much..."

It was the waiter who got Cheng Baiye's hint and awkwardly tried to explain to Xu Fan.

"If we can't drink it all, I can pack it. Mark it down."

Without hesitation, Xu Fan rolled his eyes at the waiter and focused back on the menu.

"And ten of these Nine Heavens Sea Abalones..."

Continuing his lavish orders, Xu Fan's choices seemed to only aim for the expensive items. Cheng Baiye could only hear the sound of his heart breaking...

Before entering, he had planned to act clueless, pushing Xu Fan into despair over his woman's safety.

Then, as the victor, he would enjoy the sight before ending Xu Fan's life.

But now, the roles had reversed, and he was the one driven crazy.

The dishes Xu Fan ordered were more than a single large table could hold. The waiter's face turned green, and Cheng Baiye's face mirrored a shade of dark blue.

He regretted it. If he had known, he wouldn't have played this fancy trick and would have directly killed this kid!

"That's enough!"

Unable to bear it any longer, since he controlled everything, why should he endure this kid any longer?

With a dark face, Cheng Baiye slammed a palm on the table, stopping Xu Fan...
