334: Chapter 330 Zhao Lina Lost Weight 334: Chapter 330 Zhao Lina Lost Weight The next day, after nine in the morning, Ye Fan received a phone call from Robert Laurenson.

“Respected Black Dragon, the stocks of the Tongyi Group have been suspended since last week and have not yet resumed.

Has our attack finally come to an end?” Robert Laurenson said.

Ye Fan asked, “How much of our capital is trapped?”

“Some is trapped, but it’s almost negligible.

I anticipated that the Tongyi Group would suspend their stocks at that time, so I sold off the stocks in advance.

We were short-selling; it’s not possible for us to still hold a bunch of shorted stocks,” Robert Laurenson said, “Up until now, we have made a small profit of 200 million US dollars.

If we’re talking about a financial profit action, it’s not considered a successful one.

Of course, we have smoothly reached your requirements.”

Ye Fan pondered briefly and then said, “Maintain the attack and keep denouncing them.

The moment Tongyi Group resumes trading, attack immediately, giving them no chance to catch their breath.”

His goal was to completely ruin the Tongyi Group.

Robert Laurenson responded with a relaxed laugh, “Please rest assured, Your Excellency.

Negative news about Tongyi Group is everywhere now, even their most important partners have terminated their contracts with them, and other key cooperative companies are also demanding terminations.

Moreover, Tongyi Group can no longer secure any loans.

It’s almost certain, Tongyi Group is finished.”

“Mm,” Ye Fan grunted in response.

Around noon, nearing twelve o’clock, Ye Fan called Zhao Lina.

Zhao Lina was delighted to receive the call from Ye Fan and chuckled smugly, “What?

Decided to give me a call finally?”

“Look at what you’re saying, you’re making me embarrassed,” Ye Fan couldn’t help but laugh.

“Hmph, you better run into a wall,” Zhao Lina chuckled and playfully scolded, “We agreed last week that you would come over for dinner, but why haven’t you made a move?

Do I have to call you to spur you into action?”

Ye Fan, grinning sheepishly, said, “You were busy.

With the crackdown on illegal activities across the city, being the chief criminal police officer, you must have been incredibly busy.

I wouldn’t dare to disturb you at such a time.

Are you almost finished now?”

“That’s an excuse if I’ve ever heard one.

But during this period, even if you had called, I might not have had the time to answer.

Now I can finally relax a bit,” Zhao Lina said.

Ye Fan joked, “Captain Zhao, you’ve worked hard serving the people.

How about I comfort you tonight?”

“Tonight?

I’m afraid not.

My parents aren’t available,” Zhao Lina pondered, “Tomorrow or the day after should be free.”

“It doesn’t have to be at your place.

How about we indulge ourselves at a fancy restaurant, wouldn’t that be better?” Ye Fan suggested.

Zhao Lina giggled contentedly and said, “Asking me out to eat?

Oh my, I’ll have to think about it.

There are many who want to invite me out, and I can’t just say yes to anyone.”

Ye Fan was embarrassed, playing along with Zhao Lina’s proud mood, and laughed nervously, “Ha ha, Captain Zhao, you are generous, please give me a chance this time.

I’m begging you.”

“Although you might not catch my eye even with another ten years of self-improvement, in light of your genuine affection, I shall reluctantly give you a chance to treat me to a meal,” Zhao Lina playfully said.

“Ha ha, thank you so much,” Ye Fan said with a forced laugh, “I’ll pick you up from the police station after work.”

“Mm,” Zhao Lina happily laughed, “Hehe…”

At about 5:30 in the afternoon, just as Ye Fan was about to leave Emali Corporation to drive to the police station to pick up Zhao Lina, Li Zhaojun made a call asking him to come to her office.

Knocking and entering Li Zhaojun’s office, Ye Fan was a bit surprised to find that Li Zhaojun was not sitting at her desk working, but rather sitting on a sofa at the coffee table, making tea herself.

As Ye Fan walked in, Li Zhaojun lifted her head and said in a neutral tone, “Come have a seat.”

Ye Fan walked over and sat on another leather sofa, leaning back, crossing his legs, and asked, “Director Li, what’s going on?”

Li Zhaojun glanced at Ye Fan’s posture and said quietly, “Is this how you sat in the military?”

Ye Fan’s eyebrows twitched slightly, slightly puzzled by what Li Zhaojun was up to as she suddenly started talking nonsense.

In the past, wasn’t she the type to simply say “superficial” bluntly to express her displeasure?

“Hehe, let’s stick to the point.

I’ve got other things to take care of,” Ye Fan thought for a moment and then gave up trying to guess.

Li Zhaojun continued, while steeping tea, “Let’s have dinner together after work; I have some questions to ask you.”

“Ask now.

I have plans after work,” Ye Fan said bluntly.

Li Zhaojun’s face chilled for a moment, then returned to normal and she asked indifferently, “Lu Xiaoman?”

“I have friends other than Lu Xiaoman,” Ye Fan replied.

“What do you want to ask me?”

Li Zhaojun hesitated a bit, then said, “Let’s not talk about that for now.

Let’s talk about Lu Xiaoman.

How far have you two progressed?”

“Sorry, I don’t want to discuss this issue with you,” Ye Fan said.

“If you don’t have anything else to ask, I’ll leave now.

I’m in a hurry.”

Li Zhaojun took a deep breath and said calmly, “Alright, nothing urgent at the moment; you can go.”

Ye Fan stood up and left the office.

Li Zhaojun sat on the sofa for a while, the brewed tea untouched, then stood up and went back to sit at her desk to continue working.

Ye Fan drove away from Emali Group and headed straight to the police station.

He arrived at the police station just after six o’clock.

As usual, Zhao Lina drove out and then they left together.

About ten minutes later, in a five-star restaurant, they chose a table near the glass wall.

After ordering, Ye Fan observed Lina, who had changed into casual clothes, and noticed that she had lost some weight, probably due to being very busy recently.

Face to face, Lina obviously noticed Ye Fan checking her out.

She felt secretly pleased at first and pretended not to notice, but when she realized that Ye Fan had been staring at her for a long time, she could no longer pretend to be unaware.

So, she proudly raised her delicate chin and cooed, “Ye Fan, you’re staring at me so intently; are you harboring dishonorable intentions?”

“Lina, you’ve lost weight,” Ye Fan said.

When Lina heard this, she was stunned for a good while before coming back to her senses, avoiding eye contact with Ye Fan and stammering, “What, what are you talking about?”

“But certain places are still as big as before,” Ye Fan joked.

Hearing this, Lina’s eyes widened and her eyebrows furrowed; she fiercely kicked Ye Fan under the table.

Though Ye Fan could have dodged, he didn’t, and ended up shouting in pain from the kick.

“Humph, even daring to tease me, you don’t know what’s good for you!” Lina exclaimed proudly, raising her pretty face.

After finishing their playful and teasing dinner, naturally, it was time to go shopping.

They shopped at an upscale shopping center until 10:30 PM; Ye Fan bought Lina two outfits and a pair of red high heels, while Lina bought Ye Fan a pair of casual leather shoes.

Finally, he drove Lina back to Baiyun Residential Area.
