Chapter 560: Chapter 560

Xiang Xue Ting had spoken so bluntly that Yang Fan couldn’t say anything more.

Xiang Xue Ting had made everything very clear.

More words would have been superfluous.

"As for your sweetheart, in my own opinion," Xiang Xue Ting said, "I think she should be safe for the moment. Bi Gang is clever in many ways, and this should be counted as one of them."

"His two henchmen have been caught, so he will definitely restrain all his minions and behave submissively for a while. However, what I am saying is not absolute; it’s possible he could become crazed and seek revenge again—it’s hard to say."

"The safest course of action would be to have your sweetheart move to a secure location, and not to go out at random. Be prepared to protect her at all times, just in case."

Yang Fan nodded. "No matter what, ’caution is the parent of safety’, right?"

"Uh-huh," Xiang Xue Ting nodded. "If there’s any progress on my end, I’ll inform you as soon as possible."

"It’s not against the rules, is it?" Yang Fan asked.

Xiang Xue Ting suddenly spoke in a strange, coquettish voice, "Ah, my dear brother, are you starting to worry about me now?"

"Nonsense!" Yang Fan rolled his eyes. "When have I not worried about you? That thing just now, you didn’t let me say it."

"Alright, stop, stop. Who made me so fond of you!" Xiang Xue Ting laughed. "It’s not against the rules. You are the victim, after all. It’s only right for us to update you on the situation. Just wait for my notification."

Having said that, she suddenly leaned over Yang Fan, her face bearing a coquettish smile, and asked, "Would you consider doing it one more time?"

"Come on, I’ll make sure to feed you your fill today!" Yang Fan said menacingly.

You let the little guy lead you by the nose, how could that be okay?

...

After another satisfying encounter, Yang Fan and Xiang Xue Ting left the hotel together.

By that time, the day was well advanced.

Sleep deprivation was starting to take its toll on Yang Fan.

Initially, he felt quite alert, as if going without sleep today would have no impact whatsoever.

But after the crazy exertions with Xiang Xue Ting, the weakness from not sleeping began to show.

In fact, he could have just slept in the hotel, but Yang Fan was concerned about the safety of Zhu Shanshan and Fan Sisi. He thought it better to sleep at Zhu Shanshan’s place, where he would feel more at ease.

Xiang Xue Ting had picked up Yang Fan but was not responsible for taking him back.

She went ahead first, and Yang Fan hailed a taxi to Zhu Shanshan’s cosmetics shop.

When he arrived, several workers were installing burglar bars and security doors.

Zhu Shanshan had taken Yang Fan’s advice to heart, choosing the best materials—she had solid steel bars installed, which, given their size, would probably take a cutting machine half a day to saw through.

Yang Fan entered the room to find Fan Sisi and Zhu Shanshan leaning together, curled up on the sofa watching dramas on a tablet.

They actually appeared quite cozy.

"Fanzi, how’s the situation?" Zhu Shanshan jumped off the sofa with such vigor that her chest heaved dramatically, almost frighteningly, as if she might take flight.

The coziness was not just an appearance; it was evident that she was actually very anxious.

Yang Fan shook his head. "The situation isn’t very optimistic. They suggest we keep a low profile for the time being, avoiding going out unless necessary and calling the police immediately if anything happens. The police station will inform us as soon as there’s any news."

Zhu Shanshan suddenly seemed deflated. "That’s not exactly good news. We’ll just have to knuckle under!"

"Though we shouldn’t be overly anxious, we must be extremely cautious. That Bi Gang is said to be quite maniacal," Yang Fan said. "You two go ahead with what you’re doing. I need to catch some sleep; I’m so tired my mind is foggy."

With that, he lay down on the sofa, using Fan Sisi’s shapely thigh as a pillow.

The legs of a young girl are truly the world’s best pillow.

This nap left Yang Fan feeling incredibly comfortable. When he woke up, the hazy sunlight outside the window gave him a sense of rebirth as if all his fatigue had been swept away.

"What time is it?" Yang Fan asked Fan Sisi lying next to him.

She had served as an absolutely qualified pillow. Yang Fan had slept for so long, yet she had not moved an inch.

"It’s past two o’clock," Fan Sisi said softly, her eyes filled with a gentle glow.

Yang Fan was startled, "Is it already that late? Have you guys eaten yet?"

"Not yet, we were waiting for you!" Fan Sisi said.

Yang Fan sat up and vigorously rubbed his face with both hands, "Let’s eat, let’s eat."

"You two should have gone to eat earlier. Why wait for me?"

Fan Sisi said with a smile, "It’s okay, waiting a bit to eat won’t kill anyone."

After that, Yang Fan, along with Fan Sisi and Zhu Shanshan, went out to eat lunch on the same street, and then Yang Fan hurried off to town on his three-wheeler.

He needed to check the store, as he had promised his sister-in-law and Little Mother to talk to them about the store’s affairs.

During the day, with Zhu Shanshan and Fan Sisi there, the store should be considered safe; in addition to them, there were other staff members present.

For Bi Gang to take away an adult like Zhu Shanshan under such circumstances would not be easy.

Yang Fan planned to come back in the evening and stay with them at night, just in case.

Bai Cao Pavilion was bustling today.

But it wasn’t because there were many customers, but... because there were many women.

The sister-in-law, Little Mother, Bai Mengzhu, and two women Yang Fan wasn’t very familiar with were sitting at the entrance of the store chatting.

One of them was the owner of the breakfast shop across the street.

The other was someone Yang Fan had seen around town but he didn’t know what she did.

"Our grand shopkeeper is out and about again today. What fancy places did you grace with your presence?" Zhou Wenhui teased.

Yang Fan sat down next to them with a plop and whispered, "Little Mother, my outing today wasn’t so carefree. I can’t say it directly, I’ll tell you secretly later."

"Is it that confidential? I’m suddenly very curious," Zhou Wenhui said exaggeratedly.

Yang Fan nodded seriously, "Anyway, it’s nothing good."

While speaking with a sense of gravity, Yang Fan was also considering what kind of excuse he should come up with.

Even though he often had to fabricate excuses, he actually wasn’t a person skilled at lying.

Without careful consideration, it was easy to give himself away.

This was especially true when dealing with his sister-in-law and Little Mother, it was even easier to slip up.

Both of them had an incredibly sharp sense of smell, and one had meticulous thoughts; if there was the slightest hole in Yang Fan’s story, they would pry it open and then begin an interrogation.

In this regard, Yang Fan could say he had greatly experienced it already.

"Let’s go inside and talk. I’m really curious now. Did you bump into a female ghost last night who tried to forcefully do that thing to you?" Zhou Wenhu grabbed Yang Fan’s arm and asked quietly.

"Little Mother, that’s really inappropriate of you. Humans and ghosts are different; that’s impossible," Yang Fan said with an incredulous smile.

Ever since the two of them had become closely involved on two occasions, the words coming out of Little Mother’s mouth had become more and more uninhibited.
