Though there was regret, it was merely a fleeting moment.

The middle-aged man looked at Xu Fan and said, "Xu Fan, don't you know this is a private club?"

"Don't you think it's a bit inappropriate to intrude without permission?"

"Exactly!"

Upon hearing the middle-aged man's questioning, Cheng Baiye quickly chimed in.

"Xu Fan, if you don't get out now, I'll call the police!"

Wee-woo... Wee-woo...

As soon as Cheng Baiye finished speaking, police sirens could be heard from outside.

This left him dumbfounded...

He mentioned calling the police just to scare Xu Fan.

After all, he hadn't even started calling the police himself.

He immediately looked around at the guests.

He wondered if someone else had reported this just now?

The guests were also puzzled; they hadn't called the police.

In Cheng Sanye's place, there's no need to call the police for this kind of issue.

Besides, tonight's gathering was quite lively, and if the police really came, they'd be in trouble.

Calling the police would just ruin the fun, wouldn't it?

"They're here to arrest you, didn't you know?"

Just as everyone was confused, Xu Fan explained with a sentence.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Baiye couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Haha, Xu Fan, arrest me? Don't you know, my Cheng Family in..."

Cheng Baiye's words got stuck halfway, and his eyes filled with extreme terror.

He had enlisted the Heavenly Witch Sect to deal with Xu Fan, and now Xu Fan was safe and sound. This could mean that something had happened to the Heavenly Witch Sect.

If the police found evidence of his crimes from the Heavenly Witch Sect, his status as a member of the Cheng Family would be useless!

This was no small matter.

It's over...

Subconsciously, Cheng Baiye thought of this word.

From the start, he felt uneasy after messing with the Thorn Squad and hid away, ready to flee at any sign of trouble.

If Xu Fan hadn't appeared, he might still be lying low.

Now, recalling everything, Cheng Baiye quickly understood.

From the beginning, he had already fallen into Xu Fan's trap!

This guy used himself as bait, pulling him and the Heavenly Witch Sect out entirely!

Realizing this only now, it was too late, and Cheng Baiye regretted it so much that he wished he could slap himself!

The police were already at the club, making an escape extremely difficult now.

Feeling utterly hopeless, for the first time, this man felt his legs were a bit unsteady.

He looked pleadingly at the middle-aged man beside him.

"Sir, save me! Save me!"

The middle-aged man had high status, and if he was willing to step in, perhaps there might be a glimmer of hope for Cheng Baiye's life.

Ignoring his dignity, Cheng Baiye fell to his knees with a thud.

"..."

Holding onto the middle-aged man's leg tightly, Cheng Baiye's face was filled with desperation, making the man feel awkward.

He had come to Diannan to obtain that Bronze Box.

Now, negotiating with this local overlord in Diannan was just to facilitate the operation.

Earlier in the club, to make Cheng Baiye comply with his wishes, he had made numerous promises.

He intended to form a partnership and thus made such promises. Who knew that the partnership would barely be established before his partner was on the verge of death?

The middle-aged man's mood was worse than swallowing feces...

Xu Fan stood aside, watching. If he remained uninvolved, it would be too disgraceful; after some thought, the middle-aged man helped Cheng Baiye up.

"Stand up first, I will help you with this."

"Thank you! Thank you, sir!"

The middle-aged man's promise instantly relieved Cheng Baiye.

He knew well that with the man's help, his life was likely saved.

After reassuring Cheng Baiye, the middle-aged man looked at Xu Fan with a calm face.

"Xu Fan, although there is conflict between you and me, we do have some friendship."

"Cheng Baiye is my friend. Give me a face tonight, spare his life, and in the future, I will not treat you badly."

"Pfft."

Upon hearing these words, Xu Fan couldn't help but laugh.

This guy had once confidently assured him to take care of the Qing Gang when he left Shanghai.

But what happened?

This guy completely ignored his words.

Even if he were a fool, he wouldn't trust someone whose words were as worthless as farts.

Not to mention, Cheng Baiye's crimes were something he would never forgive.

"Give you face? Friend, who are you?"

Glancing slightly, Xu Fan ruthlessly retorted.

"You!"

This indifferent attitude left the opponent feeling stuffed in the chest with anger.

Yet before he could start cursing, Xu Fan's voice rang out again.

"Oh, if you're friends with this guy, you'd better be careful. You might end up going in as well."

Xu Fan's "kind" reminder nearly infuriated him to death!

This kid was laughing at him, wasn't he?

When the police came, if he revealed his identity, he could have saved Cheng Baiye.

However, owing a favor like this seemed a bit costly to the middle-aged man.

Cheng Baiye wasn't worth the Huang Family owing a favor.

"Kid, do you know, with the Huang Family's background, sparing Cheng Baiye is just a matter of saying a word?"

In the end, he could only try to intimidate Xu Fan.

However, upon saying this, Xu Fan showed little reaction.

"Huang Family, what the hell is that?"

Unceremoniously, Xu Fan gave him a huge eye-roll.

Just then, hurried footsteps could be heard coming from not far away.

It was a large group of police arriving.

At the forefront were Zhang Shicun and the chief.

Leading the people, they walked directly to Xu Fan.

"Salute!"

With a loud shout! Zhang Shicun and the chief stood as straight as javelins in front of Xu Fan and saluted.

Immediately, the policemen behind them followed suit and saluted.

That they could thoroughly investigate this matter and reach this point was all thanks to Xu Fan's efforts.

This salute was a sign of pure respect and gratitude.

Yet this wave of salutes stunned everyone in the club.

Even the middle-aged man who had bragged earlier was dumbfounded.

Who would have thought that this young man had such energy?

"Enough, stop this now."

Xu Fan waved his hand, signaling them to lower their salutes, then looked toward the middle-aged man.

"Hmm, I heard you say, with just a word, you could get Cheng Baiye out?"
