Chapter 640: Chapter 640

"What?" Zhang Yulan looked at Yang Fan with some confusion.

She did not understand the meaning behind Yang Fan’s words just now.

Yang Fan said, "Blackmailing him by holding his weaknesses, and negotiating with him?"

"That’s one way to put it," Zhang Yulan shook her head, "although it’s not entirely that, it’s quite similar."

"Chen Zhong doesn’t know exactly how many weaknesses of his I’m holding onto in my hands, and I didn’t make it clear to him. I simply told him that we each talk about our own matters and go our separate ways. When I need help, he must lend a hand, and if there are matters he can’t resolve, he can entrust me to take action, but without involving any emotions, only interests."

"However, I also made the unpleasant part clear upfront. I told him quite frankly that if he plays along and maintains this cooperation, it would be good for both of us. But if he wants to cross the line, then none of us will have a good time."

"Even if he thinks with his butt, he should know that after sharing a bed with me for so long, how could I possibly be completely unaware of his secrets? Even if we omit the things left in his phone, the other pieces of evidence I hold could definitely fill a sack."

Yang Fan’s expression became somewhat stiff, "Sister Lan, are you saying that you chose to break with Chen Zhong entirely for my sake this time?"

"Don’t overthink it," Zhang Yulan said with a smile and a wave of her hand, "Helping you is indeed one of the reasons, but it’s not the direct main reason. My relationship with Chen Zhong is already quite strained. His intent to kill me has already been made very clear. It’s just that this time, I took the opportunity with your matter to test Chen Zhong’s methods."

Yang Fan’s mood suddenly became much heavier.

Although Zhang Yulan’s explanation seemed reasonable, it was obvious that he was the main reason.

Zhang Yulan chose to completely break with Chen Zhong to help him.

This favor was somewhat overwhelmingly large...

It’s not something Yang Fan could repay no matter how hard he tried.

To be precise, he already owed Zhang Yulan a lot of favors.

"Sister Lan, I want to hear the truth," Yang Fan said seriously.

Zhang Yulan looked at Yang Fan and burst out laughing.

In that instant, all flowers paled in comparison, and the wind and clouds dimmed because of her.

Laughing merrily, Zhang Yulan said, "Fanzi, you should change this habit of yours. What is a very simple matter you tend to overcomplicate. Besides causing trouble for yourself with these thoughts, what benefits does it bring you?"

"What I’m telling you is the truth, it’s tangible. I’ve told you, helping you is one reason, but it’s not all there is. You also know about the events that have transpired, right? Let me tell you the truth, Chen Zhong has attempted to steal from my place more than once or twice, to be exact, he has never given up."

"I’ve been threatened before too. That guy held a knife to my forehead, demanding to know where I had hidden those things. I told him that if he had the guts, he should just kill me because once I die, all of Chen Zhong’s deeds would quickly become known to the world. He didn’t dare to take that gamble in the end."

"But for someone like Chen Zhong, do you think he will stop there if he can’t be at ease? If he figures out what I really have, killing me would certainly be his only choice."

Yang Fan listened quietly, carefully pondering how much of what Zhang Yulan had said was true and how much was simply to comfort him.

"I don’t want this to continue either," Zhang Yulan said solemnly, "always having people covet my life, living every day in fear. This matter also needs to come to a close, continuing like this, my heart can’t take it. I eat without ease and sleep with discomfort."

"I get it, I’m still the key, aren’t I?" Yang Fan said with a bitter smile, "The things you’ve done for me, I really don’t know how to repay you now, it feels impossible to repay you in a short time."

It’s no wonder Yang Fan sighed like this; it’s really exhausting to deal with relationships when you are at a disadvantage.

Giving gifts is not easy, nor do you know where to start to meet people’s expectations.

Compared to the help Zhang Yulan is giving him now, no matter what expensive gifts Yang Fan gives, he feels they are somewhat lacking.

As for what he can do for Zhang Yulan to repay the favor, what can he do?

The things he can do are very limited.

"Fanzi, I’ll be unhappy if you talk like that," Zhang Yulan said with annoyance.

"I help you, and I never expect anything in return. All I want is for you to spend some time with me now and then. Besides, haven’t you helped me a lot too? I know you’re proud, but you really need to get this straight," she added.

Yang Fan said, "I just want to be clear about things. Being too confused about something isn’t good, and pretending to be confused when you know better is even worse. I’m not trying to make a big issue out of this, but things need to be balanced, right?"

"That’s enough talk, shut it now, or I’ll really get mad," Zhang Yulan snapped. "Come on, come back to the room with me. I’ll give you a chance to clear things up. If you don’t get it straight today, don’t even think about getting out of bed."

Yang Fan didn’t continue to argue these points with Zhang Yulan; it was enough that he knew them in his heart.

As for how to thank Zhang Yulan for all she had done, he needed to give it some more thought.

The two of them chatted and went back to the farm restaurant together.

Zhang Yulan had impeccable taste in everything except for raising creatures that easily die.

Just entering the farm restaurant gives one an extremely leisurely and relaxing vibe, with bright lighting and reasonable decor. Though the decorations are down-to-earth, they somehow carry an air of sophistication.

Whether it’s the wall decor or the furniture arrangement, almost everything can be found in a common farmhouse.

Yet amongst the ordinary, there is also much that is exquisite.

Zhang Yulan handed the vegetables she picked to the waiter, and then dragged Yang Fan straight back to their room.

Once the door was shut, it naturally led to a barrage of intimate positions.

At dinner, they temporarily ceased their activities and ate a very down-to-earth farm meal before returning to their room to continue.

It wasn’t until late at night that Zhang Yulan suddenly received a phone call, and their vigorous engagement finally paused.

The call was from Chen Zhong; what exactly he said, Yang Fan hadn’t heard clearly.

But he clearly saw the anger on Zhang Yulan’s face.

"What happened?" Yang Fan asked after Zhang Yulan hung up the phone.

"My club has been sealed off, and everyone inside is facing years in prison, especially Xiao Liu, who probably won’t have many chances to get out in his lifetime," Zhang Yulan said gravely. "He had long since realized that Xiao Liu had been turned by me, and he had been playing me all along."
