Chapter 589: Chapter 635, Save Neither of the Two

Everything proceeded as usual. Ever since reaching an agreement with Cao Chun, Fang Yi had been in Lank City for about five days. Tomorrow night, the fishing boat led by Earth Snake was set to arrive at the Lank City harbor.

Loaded on that fishing boat was unrefined gold, and in order to dock at the Lank City harbor, it was necessary to establish a good relationship with customs. Fang Yi had already been preparing for this early on.

At this time, Fang Yi was appreciating the benefits of bringing Su Ge’er to Lank City.

First, there was Cao Chun making introductions, followed by Fang Yi taking Su Ge’er and Yang Dingfeng out for a meal, after which Yang Dingfeng accompanied in drinking, Su Ge’er, with her eloquent charm, kept those senior customs officers completely entertained. Finally, with beauty and money pushed forward, those senior officers promised to give Fang Yi a green light.

With that issue settled, basically there would be no more problems, as long as the Sky Alliance didn’t stir up trouble, and it was possible to recruit people for the factory. Everything was to proceed officially.

During these days, Cao Chun secretly sent someone to Moon City to investigate Fang Yi’s identity. As soon as Cao Chun learned about Fang Yi uniting the five major alliances in Moon City, he immediately abandoned any minor schemes he had held.

"This Fang Yi... to unify the five major alliances all by himself is simply terrifying!" Cao Chun lamented.

Cao Chun tried to imagine if he were in the same position, he would not be able to accomplish such a feat.

Even in Lank City, which he knew like the back of his hand, if he tried to fully merge the Qinghong Alliance and the 41 Alliance with the Sky Alliance under his leadership, it would be an impossible task.

It was only then that Cao Chun felt that demanding a twenty percent share of the earnings from Fang Yi might have been too much.

Such an enemy, if not strangled in the cradle, then must be cooperated with well.

Still, the time had to be right to lower the price, Cao Chun thought to himself.

In the hotel, Fang Yi was discussing serious matters with Yang Dingfeng and Su Ge’er in his room.

"Um... tomorrow night, Yang Dingfeng, you go to the factory and keep an eye on things, wait for my message. Su Ge’er, you’ll accompany me to the dock to receive the cargo. There can’t be any mistakes, understood?"

At this moment, Fang Yi’s face was serious as he instructed the two on this important matter.

Sometimes Fang Yi could be playful and carefree, but at times when he was serious, it made one dare not overstep.

Both of them nodded, indicating they understood.

Fang Yi nodded and discussed things with them a little longer. Seeing it was about time, the two left the room to rest.

Fang Yi went to take a bath. When he came out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel, his phone suddenly rang—it was an unexpected call from Xu He.

Fang Yi answered the phone with a laugh, "Hello?"

"Hello, Fang Yi, is that you?" Xu He’s voice, crisp as a chime, came through the phone.

"This is my phone, of course it’s me." Fang Yi laughed, "What made you call me today?"

"I’ve realized you’re quite a bad person," Xu He said.

"Uh... how so?"

On the other end of the phone, Xu He spoke with a slightly aggrieved tone, "After all this time, if I don’t call you, you don’t call me. Did I upset you somehow? If I did something wrong, you could... tell me."

Fang Yi was somewhat bemused and said, "It’s not because of you, I’ve just been really busy. Like right now, I’m in Lank City."

"Oh~~~" Xu He’s tone suddenly became excited on the phone, "Speaking of which, it’s quite a coincidence, I’m in Lank City too."

"Is that so... that really is a coincidence." Fang Yi said.

"By the sound of your voice, it seems like you’re not happy to know I’m in Lank City."

"Not at all, just really shocked." Fang Yi glanced at his watch, it was ten o’clock, and said, "Where are you staying? I’ll come to find you tomorrow?"

However, Xu He’s voice came through somewhat coquettishly, "No, I want you to come over now."

Fang Yi hesitated, "Coming now, isn’t it a bit late?"

Xu He said, "I’m feeling really bored here all by myself, the so-called lady languishing in solitude, cold and lonely. I’m really cold right now, I need you to hold me."

"I need a hug."

Fang Yi instantly felt his blood boil, yet he couldn’t help but laugh. Xu He had laid it out so plainly; he had no choice but to comply. So after confirming the hotel where Xu He was staying, Fang Yi drove there.

Upon arriving at the hotel, Fang Yi went to the floor where Xu He’s room was located, checked the room number, and rang the doorbell.

The door opened, and Xu He appeared in Fang Yi’s line of sight, clad in a silver nightgown.

Her thick black hair cascaded over her shoulders, and she was wearing a short-sleeved, silver silk nightgown that left her creamy white arms exposed. The graceful and delicate body moved lazily within the silk nightgown.

The hem of the gown barely reached above her knees, faintly revealing the base of her thighs, and her long, fair legs extended down to the cotton slippers she wore. She was smiling, exuding a unique charm.

Seeing that Fang Yi’s gaze was fixed, Xu He felt somewhat proud and said, "What are you standing there for? Come on in."

Fang Yi smiled and followed Xu He into the room.

The room was a high-end suite. Once they were in the living room, Xu He said, "Make yourself comfortable."

"Okay."

Fang Yi made himself at home, sitting casually on the sofa.

Xu He went to open the liquor cabinet and took out several bottles of red wine, placing them in front of Fang Yi.

"You asked me to come here to keep you company while drinking?" Fang Yi was somewhat surprised.

"Yeah, I’m all alone in Lank City, and since you’re also here, I thought I’d have you join me for a drink," Xu He said, batting her eyelids. "You wouldn’t mind, right?"

Fang Yi replied, "The opportunity to drink with a big star and beauty like you is a rare treat; how could I refuse? It’s just that..."

"Just what?"

"I’m worried I might act improperly after drinking."

Xu He giggled, covering her mouth with her hand, "If you act improperly, so be it. But I believe you’re not that kind of person."

Fang Yi sighed, "Alright, since you trust me so much, I’ll risk my life to keep a beauty company. Even if it kills me, so what."

Opening the French windows of the suite, they could take in the extensive night view of Lank City. They sat side by side on the balcony outside the windows.

Each held a wine goblet full of red wine. They clinked their glasses and began to drink freely.

After three rounds of drinks, Fang Yi learned from Xu He that she had come to Lank City to perform a concert.

Xu He was on a world tour, and Moon City was the last stop before Lank City. She was scheduled to perform nine shows at the sports stadium. Although Fang Yi wasn’t familiar with the entertainment industry, he understood that performing nine consecutive shows in Hong Kong was significant, let alone for Xu He, a mainland female celebrity, indicating her immense popularity.

"I have nine concerts lined up. You don’t have to come to every single one, but you should come to at least one," Xu He said, her cheeks flushed and a tipsy look in her eyes.

"As soon as you say the word, I’ll definitely be there. Don’t worry," Fang Yi said.

"Alright, you can’t go back on your word."

"If I do, I’m a puppy," Fang Yi said offhandedly.

Xu He giggled, a mischievous glint in her eyes, "By the way, I have a question for you."

Fang Yi nodded.

"If... I mean, if both Binnan and I fell into the water at the same time, who would you save first?" Xu He asked languidly, staring intently at Fang Yi, her eyes filled with expectation.

Fang Yi was visibly taken aback, pondered for a moment, and then gave his answer.

"...I wouldn’t save either."
