Chapter 372: Chapter 396: Returning to Xuanhua Pavilion

Wu Han had already apprehended someone, and when Fang Yi followed Wu Han to the location, he saw a man in glasses being guarded by two security guards. Upon arrival, Wu Han waved his hand, signaling the two security guards to leave.

Fang Yi lit a cigarette, pulled over a chair, and sat down in front of the man in glasses.

"Fang Brother, you go ahead and do what you need to, I can handle things here," Fang Yi said, smiling back at Wu Han.

Wu Han paused, then quickly understood Fang Yi’s intention, nodded, and left.

Now it was just Fang Yi and the man in glasses, Fang Yi sat in the chair and said, "You should know what I’m going to ask you. Are you going to confess willingly, or do I need to make you?"

The man in glasses stammered, "I... I don’t know what you’re talking about."

Fang Yi shook his head, stood up, sighed, and said, "It seems I have to do it myself."

Without caring how much the man in glasses feared him, Fang Yi stepped forward.

...

The ’Xu He’s Ultimate Concert’ was a huge success, a very big success indeed.

Even though there was a minor mishap during the event, Xu He’s comeback took the concert to new heights.

Moreover, the appearance of Shen Binnan made the concert even more sensational.

Originally, this concert was just one stop on Xu He’s tour. However, due to the little interlude that occurred tonight, this concert surpassed even the first stop in terms of excitement.

Truth be told, the biggest winner of the night was undoubtedly Xu He. As a celebrity, whether as a singer, an actor, or an influencer, one always needs exposure and popularity, and tonight, Xu He had it all.

This would propel her to newer heights.

However, after the concert, Xu He didn’t think much about it and pulled Shen Binnan with her to the backstage. Upon seeing Fang Yi, a genuine smile appeared on Xu He’s usually indifferent face.

Ignoring the surprised looks of others, Xu He walked straight towards Fang Yi and reached out to grab one of his hands.

"Uh..." Fang Yi was also surprised; given Xu He’s character, she shouldn’t have acted like this in public.

"Fang Yi, thank you," Xu He said sincerely.

"So, it was this. No worries, just sign a few hundred autographs for me later," Fang Yi joked.

Caught off guard by Xu He’s action, Shen Binnan snapped back to reality and hurried over, saying, "I’m warning you, you better behave."

Xu He let go of the hand and slightly lowered her head, her cheeks tinged with a blush.

"Don’t worry, I’m more well-behaved than anyone," Fang Yi said with a smile. "Right, Xu He?"

"Huh? Yes... yes..." Xu He seemed a bit distracted.

A complex expression fleetingly crossed Shen Binnan’s eyes, and although she noticed this, she didn’t say anything.

Just then, Wu Han rushed over, saying, "Xu He, Manager Zheng just called. He wants us to go to Xuanhua Pavilion. He’s already set a table there to celebrate for you."

Xu He nodded and then looked at Fang Yi and Shen Binnan, saying, "You both heard that; you definitely can’t decline."

Shen Binnan seemed fine with it, but Fang Yi felt a bit helpless. Xuanhua Pavilion was Kong Qingci’s territory. What if they encountered him? But then, he quickly smiled, realizing that it was already past ten at night, and Kong Qingci wouldn’t likely be at Xuanhua Pavilion, so he happily agreed.

However, before leaving, Fang Yi instructed Wu Han to bring Jiang Lili along for there was a good show awaiting.

But seeing the eerie smile on Fang Yi’s face, Wu Han felt a flutter of alarm in his heart. He could see that Xu He’s friend was not someone to be easily provoked and was probably about to start a confrontation with Jiang Lili.

Leaving the sports center, Xu He and the staff took a car in advance, while Fang Yi and Shen Binnan drove in their own car to Xuanhua Pavilion.

In the car, Shen Binnan casually said, "Xu He seems to be interested in you."

Fang Yi forced a smile and said, "I can see that."

Surprisingly, Shen Binnan wasn’t angry this time and said softly, "Actually, Xu He has had it tough. Her family was originally from a rural area, but then she got into college, performed even better than me, and somehow ended up in the entertainment industry."

At this point, Shen Binnan paused, then added, "She’s not like other girls, kind to others, pure and unblemished by her surroundings. That’s also why we became friends back then, so she shouldn’t be deceived."

"Getting straight to the point now," Fang Yi said with a laugh. "Don’t worry, I know what I should and shouldn’t touch. Besides, I’ve fallen for you, so I definitely won’t go messing around."

Shen Binnan’s face flushed as she said, "We’re talking about serious matters, stop joking around!"

But Fang Yi’s expression turned weird as he said, "You know they say ’beware of fire, theft, and best friends,’ you’re not trying to keep Xu He from stealing me away, are you?"

Shen Binnan was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly kicked Fang Yi’s shin.

"Go to hell!" was Shen Binnan’s discontent.

"Damn it, don’t hit me," Fang Yi responded, also annoyed.

"Just did, what are you going to do about it!"

"If you do it again... try it again... if you do it again, I’ll take care of you right here in the car."

"I did."

"Ouch, my dear Grandma Shen, I was wrong, I really was, stop kicking, or we’ll crash!"

Until they arrived at Xuanhua Pavilion, Fang Yi parked the car in the open space in front of the pavilion, and he got out of the car with Shen Binnan. Just as Fang Yi was getting out, an uncertain voice came from nearby.

"Mr... Mr. Fang?"

Fang Yi was slightly startled. Someone here knew him? As soon as he turned around, Fang Yi recognized who it was—the disdainful Zhang Zhe from his first visit to Xuanhua Pavilion.

But Zhang Zhe dared not act so haughty anymore. Ever since Kong Qingci severely disciplined him that time, Zhang Zhe wouldn’t dare look down on anyone, especially now that it happened to be Fang Yi he encountered.

"Mr. Fang, last time it was my fault, Zhang Zhe. I am here to formally apologize and hope you can forgive me..."

Fang Yi waved a hand dismissively and said, "Forget it, forget it, I’m not the kind to hold a grudge. I just came here to have a meal and not to trouble you."

Seeing that Fang Yi truly didn’t mind, Zhang Zhe breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "Mr. Fang, please come inside."

On the way, Shen Binnan glanced at Zhang Zhe, who was leading the way, showing extreme respect and sycophancy, which surprised her.

Shen Binnan was familiar with Xuanhua Pavilion and knew that only the wealthy and noble come here. Seeing Zhang Zhe’s demeanor, it seemed like he had been here before. She wondered just how much this man had kept from her.

When they arrived, Zhang Zhe invited Fang Yi and Shen Binnan inside before quickly running off.

Suddenly, Fang Yi thought of something—he hadn’t asked Zhang Zhe whether Kong Qingci was around. Seeing Zhang Zhe rushing off in such haste gave him a bad feeling.

At that moment, a loud laugh filled the air, "We have esteemed guests, please come inside."

Fang Yi narrowed his eyes as he looked at the man who was speaking, a middle-aged man with a somewhat imposing appearance, moving with the strong presence of a major boss, presumably Xu He’s employer, the Mr. Zheng mentioned by Wu Han.
