Chapter 579: Chapter 579

Yang Fan whispered the details of his situation with the Beautiful Young Woman to Xiang Xue Ting’s ear.

"You’re pretty bad, scaring people for no reason," Xiang Xue Ting said with a wave of her hand. "You guys figure out your own misunderstandings. I’ve got stuff to do and no time to dawdle with this. I’ll call you when I’m free."

"Do you need me to show you the entrance to that basement?" Yang Fan asked.

"Just tell me the rough location," Xiang Xue Ting pulled Yang Fan aside and said softly, "What comes next isn’t really convenient for you to be involved in. Otherwise, you’d have to explain how you came by this evidence. You get what I mean, right?"

Yang Fan nodded, "No worries, I don’t want to meddle."

"You two take the last car later. I’ve arranged for someone to take you back. But, before that, you should deal with that woman and make sure she doesn’t have any videos or anything on her," Xiang Xue Ting instructed.

Yang Fan let out a wry smile, "She actually does have one."

"Then you’d better find a way to have her delete the video. It shouldn’t be too difficult. You can bluster, using my status as a police informant," Xiang Xue Ting said with a light chuckle. "Though, what you two have been doing is basically the work of my informants, just without the title."

"Even if the video she has gets out, it wouldn’t really affect our case, but it would affect the two of you. The Bi Family has great power. I’m worried you two might get targeted by them for retaliation."

Yang Fan’s expression turned serious as he nodded in understanding.

"Alright, then that’s settled. Little Fanzi, you’ve done a really impressive job this time," Xiang Xue Ting swiftly pecked Yang Fan on the cheek as swiftly as a lightning strike and said in a low voice, "When I’m done with my work, I’ll give you a proper reward."

"You said it, it’s up to me to plan it," Yang Fan replied in a low voice.

Xiang Xue Ting let out a light laugh, "It’s all up to you."

With that said, she waved her hand and strode into Bi Gang’s villa.

Yang Fan calmed his tumultuous emotions and approached the Beautiful Young Woman. "Let’s have a talk."

"I misunderstood you, I’m sorry. Doesn’t seem like there’s much else to talk about, right?" the Beautiful Young Woman muttered.

Hearing an apology from her mouth, Yang Fan couldn’t help but view her in a new light.

"There’s still something to discuss," Yang Fan said. "The video on your phone—you delete it yourself."

He didn’t say much else.

If one is to pretend to have more power than one actually possesses, then it’s best to speak as little as possible.

The more one talks, the more they give themselves away.

"I want to know why?" the Beautiful Young Woman asked.

Yang Fan snorted, "Do you intend to keep that footage as a way to get back at the police?"

"... Don’t try to play the saint with me, delete it yourself!" the Beautiful Young Woman said as she handed over her phone. "To prevent you from suspecting I didn’t delete it thoroughly, you can double-check it and make sure it’s gone."

Yang Fan nodded his head.

Her attitude, at least, seemed reasonable.

Yang Fan opened the gallery, accurately located the video, watched it for a moment, and then hit delete.

After all this fuss, the woman had actually been bluffing them.

Although she did record a video, the footage was incredibly blurry, and it was hard to make out where he and Old Zhou were standing without looking closely. Their position, at that moment, was also in the shadows, with darkness all around.

"My phone doesn’t delete photos immediately—there’s a trash bin where they will stay for a few days. Make sure you check thoroughly," the Beautiful Young Woman said sulkily, suddenly reminding him.

If she hadn’t mentioned it, Yang Fan wouldn’t have thought of that. He scrolled down, found the trash bin, and clicked to enter.

"Oh man." The contents before his eyes made Yang Fan utter a subdued exclamation.

There was quite some explosive stuff in the recycle bin.

There were lots of videos and photos of the Beautiful Young Woman playing by herself; she seemed quite pleased with her most private part, taking many pictures aimed at the camera. Some were of buds yet to bloom, some revealed the pistils, and others had fingers teasing the petals, a plethora of variety.

Yang Fan’s hushed exclamation jolted the Beautiful Young Woman into realizing something.

"Wait!" She cried out, quickly snatching the phone away, "I’ll delete it myself."

Yang Fan felt a bit disappointed; he hadn’t gotten a good look yet.

The woman had a nice figure, and that part seemed even nicer, definitely worth admiring for a moment or two.

The Beautiful Young Woman’s fingers flew across the phone screen, and then with a slightly flushed face, she held the phone up to Yang Fan, saying, "Look, it’s all clean now."

"I see it, looks good, as clean and clear as some things I just saw," Yang Fan nodded and remarked.

"You..." the Beautiful Young Woman, teeth clenched in anger, glared at him and said fiercely, "Don’t talk nonsense, or else I’ll definitely beat you to death, even if you might have some different identity."

Yang Fan chuckled and said, "Did I just say anything? I didn’t say anything at all."

The Beautiful Young Woman huffed.

Yang Fan actually wanted to offer his help to the Beautiful Young Woman; he would be very happy to do so.

But considering the woman’s unyielding temperament, Yang Fan silently abandoned this rather impolite thought.

It’s better not to mess with such a woman.

"Are you still selling that house?" Old Zhou suddenly asked.

Yang Fan looked at Old Zhou with some surprise.

Why was the old man suddenly interested in that house again? He couldn’t have taken a fancy to her, could he?

"Yes, I’ll sell it. On the terms we discussed earlier, I can now tell you about the house," the Beautiful Young Woman said decisively, "but, you have to make sure this kid promises not to mess with me again!"

Yang Fan asked in surprise, "What do you mean, ’mess with you’? Sis, you can’t just say things like that!"

"You may not have yet, but you’re planning to mess with me," the Beautiful Young Woman declared.

Yang Fan: ...

"How can you make no sense at all? I’m planning to mess with you? Where did you get that idea?"

Yang Fan was shocked.

What kind of logic was that?

Old Zhou also asked with some surprise, "Fanzi, you’re planning to mess with her? Officer Xiang is still around, you know. Rein in those excessive thoughts; it’s not right to have designs on every single person you see."

After lecturing Yang Fan, Old Zhou reassured the Beautiful Young Woman, "Don’t worry, he won’t do anything inappropriate. You can be at ease."

The Beautiful Young Woman’s cheeks flushed with a hint of red, and she muttered under her breath with a spit, "Both of you are indecent jerks. I wasn’t talking about that kind of ’messing around’, I meant the underhanded kind... the harmful kind."

"Oh, that kind, then you can be even more assured," Old Zhou said with a chuckling disapproval, "I know Fanzi well. The chance of him doing what we previously mentioned, ’messing with you’, is relatively high, but if you mean the other kind, it’s basically unlikely."

"Unless you really push him to his limits, or you’re thoroughly bad, Fanzi would then really mess you up."
