Chapter 207: Chapter 207: The Deadly Phone Call

Yang Fan was enjoying Zhu Shanshan’s gentle kisses and caresses when Old Zhou’s call suddenly came in.

From just a glance at the caller ID, his guilt-ridden heart nearly skipped a beat.

"Old Zhou’s call."

Holding the phone, Yang Fan said to Zhu Shanshan.

With a pop, Zhu Shanshan released Yang Fan’s buddy and said with squinting eyes, "You take it. I’ll slow down."

Despite her words, Yang Fan’s heart couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

After all, it was Zhu Shanshan who was servicing him orally.

After hesitating for a while, Yang Fan finally answered the call.

"Fanzi, where are you?" Old Zhou asked.

Yang Fan’s head just got bigger, "I’m at a friend’s place, what’s up?"

"Nothing much, I just saw your car parked outside, but you weren’t around, so I asked. By the way, have you seen your sister-in-law?" Old Zhou seemed to be outside as well, the sound of strong wind blowing into the microphone.

His question made the already guilty Yang Fan even more nervous.

Another tricky question.

He tried to sound calm, "I don’t know, the shop was locked when I got here."

"That woman, probably wandering off somewhere again, never mind her," Old Zhou casually said, "By the way, Fanzi, has Tian Miao called you again?"

Ah, this...

Yang Fan was truly overwhelmed.

Old Zhou’s questions were all somewhat testing him.

"She did call, but I managed to lower the price to ten thousand, and she agreed. But there has been a slight complication, the friend I had involved doesn’t really approve of what I was doing," Yang Fan said, pinching his temple.

Old Zhou was silent for a moment, then suddenly let out a sly laugh, "Not bad, kid. Your friend must be a woman, right? Did you do it? If you did, she definitely wouldn’t want you to do this kind of thing."

"That... we can talk about it later. Anyway, that’s the situation," Yang Fan said.

Old Zhou suddenly lowered his voice, asking, "Is she nearby?"

Yang Fan took the cue, giving a low hum of agreement.

Old Zhou laughed, "Then I won’t say much, but you should take your chances with that Tian Miao woman when you can, just do it behind your friend’s back. Although that woman has a bad character and isn’t really good for anything, her figure and face are quite nice, worth trying."

"I’ll see how it goes," Yang Fan said.

Old Zhou laughed slyly again, "Understood, understood. I’m telling you, if you don’t hurry up, I might just take the initiative. Honestly, I’m quite interested in that woman."

"She just called me, I thought she was going to mention something about you two, but she was very evasive and didn’t utter a complete fart. Instead, she told me she was going to Han Palace for dinner with the owner tonight."

Yang Fan was stunned, "That’s all she said?"

"Yeah, I was puzzled too. What does her dinner at Han Palace have to do with me? Just let her eat," Old Zhou complained, not understanding.

Yang Fan knitted his brows, wondering if a woman like Tian Miao was worried about her video being leaked.

She might also suspect that Yang Fan had recorded a video, saving her butt’s high-definition close-up footage.

Slurp slurp... pfft pfft...

Suddenly, a strange sound filled the air, and Yang Fan jumped, hurriedly looking towards Zhu Shanshan.

Zhu Shanshan squeezed her eyes at Yang Fan, which only made her louder instead.

Yang Fan was instantly shocked.

What are you doing?

Doing it on purpose for your husband to hear?

And unsurprisingly, Old Zhou had already heard. He teased with a laugh, "Well, Fanzi, no wonder you’ve been hemming and hawing, it turns out you’ve been busy exploring caves. Go ahead, I won’t disturb you... wait, wait a second."

This ’wait a second’ sent Yang Fan’s heart right up into his throat.

But just by listening to that slurping noise, Old Zhou shouldn’t be able to tell it’s Zhu Shanshan, right?

"Tian Miao has sent me a message," Old Zhou suddenly said gravely, "She said you either give her Fifty thousand yuan to deal with her, or she’ll find someone to kill your entire family. Fanzi, what have you done? This woman talks pretty viciously."

"I tricked her into recording a little video," Yang Fan said gloomily, touching his nose.

Old Zhou was silent for a while before he couldn’t help but laugh, "Fanzi, I have to admit, you really are talented!"

"You even have a video of her, and yet she’s still so aggressive. Send it to me, let me show her how high the sky is and how thick the earth is, plus when it’s time to be humble."

Yang Fan switched the screen and immediately sent over the video of Tian Miao in the camera’s focus.

There was silence on Old Zhou’s phone, probably busy analyzing the video.

After a good while, Old Zhou said, "Fanzi, I have to express my admiration for you, you really are fucking talented! This woman, are you sure you’re not dealing with her? If not, I’m going to take action!"

Worried that Zhu Shanshan might hear, Yang Fan deliberately covered the phone’s microphone.

If Zhu Shanshan were to hear Old Zhou’s lecherous words, the two of them would likely have a colossal fight.

"I... am not interested in this matter, if you have ideas, go ahead," Yang Fan said.

Actually, talking about this topic with Old Zhou put him in a tough spot because he simply couldn’t avoid it.

He had to make sure Old Zhou understood while also figuring out what excuse he should come up with for Zhu Shanshan later.

It really felt like being caught between a rock and a hard place.

"Alright then, I’ll take action," Old Zhou snickered mischievously, "This woman, just judging by her face and status, is worth spending some money on. You keep busy, I’m going to talk about life with Tian Miao, mess with her thoroughly, and I’ll provide you with feedback afterward."

"Sure, okay."

This nerve-wracking call finally hung up, but Yang Fan’s troubles were far from over.

Zhu Shanshan raised her face up from beside Yang Fan’s leg, "That damn guy didn’t say anything good, did he?"

"It’s still about that Tian Gaofei matter," Yang Fan said, pretending to be unfazed, "The friend I sought advised me not to complicate things further, but Old Zhou still has some other thoughts."

Zhu Shanshan’s eyes twinkled with a sly light as she asked with a faint smile, "Are you sure that’s what you two were just talking about?"

Yang Fan nodded heavily.

It must be that!

"I actually overheard a bit just now, like whether you should deal with Tian Miao, whether it’s worth spending some money or not," Zhu Shanshan said faintly, "Are you still trying to cover for him?"

"Sister-in-law, your ears... are indeed pretty good; I’m just worried about you guys fighting!" Yang Fan admitted defeat.

No matter how much I guard against it, it still wasn’t enough.

He couldn’t afford to make his words to Old Zhou too obscure—that would pose a risk of exposing Zhu Shanshan, which would be even worse.

"Why would I fight him? What’s there to fight about? We are just partners now, doing our own things," Zhu Shanshan said calmly, "You don’t need to think too much for him, why bother yourself? Did he go and deal with Tian Miao?"
