Xiao Yufan never denied that, in reality, heaven had still favored him—at the very least, after living twenty-five years, he discovered a background so shocking it could drive anyone insane…
He had never experienced the thrill of smacking down ten million dollars in front of others with a flick of his wrist, surprising everyone. Although all of this had been given to him by his master, it was more than enough to make him wake up laughing in his sleep.
After thinking for a long time, Xiao Yufan still decided to call his master again. Even if his master had no experience in government circles, he could definitely save the company through financial investment.
Although deep down he really didn’t want to bother his master, the old saying went, “Help someone all the way through, and accompany them all the way to the West.” He couldn’t just throw ten million into the water like a stone and then ignore it…
“I knew you’d call me again. What’s wrong, did you run into some trouble in Chenghai?”
As soon as the call connected, before Xiao Yufan could even speak, his master’s voice came through first. Xiao Yufan couldn’t help but sigh—he felt like there was nothing he could hide from his master.
“It’s not a big issue. I just wanted to ask, Master, do you know anyone in the government circles in Chenghai? The father of a friend of mine had his company’s stocks manipulated behind the scenes, and the other party has a large influence in Chenghai. I was thinking…”
“You must be talking about a girl, right? I know your little tricks. Don’t worry, you can go ahead without any worries. I’ll handle the backers of their company!”
Before Xiao Yufan could finish speaking, a knowing laugh came from the other end of the phone. Xiao Yufan immediately felt a bit embarrassed. He had no secrets from his master, who always understood his thoughts perfectly.
“Thank you, Master…” Xiao Yufan didn’t know how vast his master’s influence was, but since his master had promised, he was sure it would be done. That belief had never changed.
“Ahhh, why are you still so formal with me?”
That sigh made Xiao Yufan’s heart tremble again. He knew exactly why his master sighed. The title “master” still felt a bit distant…
Xiao Yufan had repeatedly told himself to accept everything openly and honestly, but he found that although it was easy to say, it was hard to actually do. If he truly had no lingering resentment, even he wouldn’t believe it himself.
If Xiao Yufan had been someone greedy for wealth and fame, he might have already been living a life that others could only dream of. He could imagine how dazzling the halo surrounding his real parents must be…
Finally, things were settled. Now, all Xiao Yufan had to do was wait for responses from both his master and Lin Pingle. The answer should come within a couple of days.
That young emperor from the Qian family hadn’t made any moves recently, and no one knew what he was secretly planning. Xiao Yufan wasn’t worried at all—what trouble could such a wastrel really cause?
Qin Menglu had also gradually emerged from her depression. Xiao Yufan had taken on the role of her personal bodyguard, and spending each day with this cute girl was actually quite relaxing…
“Actually, this isn’t so bad. At least it’s carefree. I think I’m beginning to understand what it means when they say ordinary life is a blessing,” Qin Menglu said with a gentle smile, her lovely expression making her seem even more endearing.
Xiao Yufan smiled, then took a deep breath, savoring the faint fragrance coming from her. He looked even more at ease—this kind of pleasure wasn’t something just anyone could experience.
Just at that moment, a sudden commotion erupted behind them. Xiao Yufan frowned, his eyelid twitching abruptly, as a sense of foreboding surged within him…
“Grab him! Grab him!” Turning around, Xiao Yufan saw two uniformed officers chasing a man relentlessly. The crowd quickly stepped aside. Although they wanted to help, instinctively they chose to avoid getting involved.
For a moment, Qin Menglu stood frozen, unprepared for what happened next. The fleeing man crashed straight into her. The bundle in his arms fell loose, landing right at the feet of Xiao Yufan and Qin Menglu…
“Don’t move! We’re the police!” The two officers finally caught up, but when they saw the bundle at Xiao Yufan and Qin Menglu’s feet, they immediately became alert, glaring at the pair and shouting fiercely.
“This item fell from that man. Don’t tell me you didn’t see it…”
A bad feeling surged in Xiao Yufan’s mind. He knew this wasn’t just a misunderstanding—it felt like someone had planned it all out. Yet the package really was at their feet. How could he possibly explain this?
“We only saw this package at your feet. Even if you’re not the mastermind, you must be involved somehow. Come quietly with us to the police station…”
Without hesitation, the two officers made their move—they were determined to take Xiao Yufan and Qin Menglu back. The bag contained ice drugs. Once connected with such things, they would definitely face the harshest punishment in Chenghai, a coastal city.
Seeing that the two officers completely ignored their explanations, Xiao Yufan realized immediately that these people must have been colluding. Anything else he said would be useless. So this was the young emperor from the Qian family’s plan—waiting so long just to deliver a fatal blow…
