Chapter 801: Chapter 797: Li Zhaojun Wants to Retreat from the World

“What’s up? You’re already on the call, just say it directly!” Mo Xiaoyan said. “Hurry up, hurry up.”

Ye Fan was about to insist on Mo Xiaoyan talking after she got home when she said, “Alright, I’ve already parked the car safely by the roadside. It’s very safe, so I can talk now, right?”

It was only then that Ye Fan said, “Didn’t you mention yesterday that you’re working on a cosmetics project? I’m pretty interested in cosmetics projects. Can I invest too?”

Hearing this, Mo Xiaoyan couldn’t help but be overjoyed, and immediately laughed, “Great! I’d be thrilled!”

“Wait, is my sister asking you to do this?” she immediately asked.

Ye Fan chuckled lightly, “It’s not about that. I just see a potential in cosmetics projects. Because I’ve personally experienced how much you women pursue cosmetics, I think the future is very promising and lucrative.”

“Brother-in-law, I think you should just forget it,” Mo Xiaoyan said with a slightly gloomy tone. “Although cosmetics have a good outlook, the bar is too high. My cosmetics project has been evaluated by a professional agency, and the success rate is only thirty percent. I can’t take advantage of you.”

“Thirty percent? That’s not low at all,” Ye Fan laughed. “Are you coming to Mingde County on Monday? Give me the project plan and related materials, and I’ll see if we can do it. If it’s feasible, I’ll ride your coattails and earn a bit on the side.”

“But it requires 300 million in funding.” Mo Xiaoyan was still a bit reluctant.

Ye Fan smiled, “Of course I know. Did you see your sister today? How is she?”

“Not well. It’s the weekend, and you didn’t go to see her,” Mo Xiaoyan pouted.

Ye Fan broke a sweat, knowing Lu Xiaoman was fine, he said something, and then hung up the phone.

At nine the next morning, Ye Fan drove to Yulin Bay Villa District to take Li Zhaojun to visit the old man Li.

Li Zhaojun was about the same as the last time they visited the old man Li, spoke very little, but didn’t refuse.

They stayed at old man Li’s until a little past four in the afternoon before Ye Fan left with Li Zhaojun. During this period, the old man had low energy and went to his bedroom to rest and sleep two or three times.

After sending Li Zhaojun back to Yulin Bay Villa District, Ye Fan was also ready to drive back to Mingde County.

Before saying goodbye, Ye Fan stood face to face with Li Zhaojun. Looking at Li Zhaojun’s increasingly beautiful face, which was hard to look away from, Ye Fan took a deep breath and said, “Zhaojun, I know you now want to sever ties with the mundane world and focus on becoming a celestial being. But even if you become a celestial and achieve immortality, without emotions, what’s the difference with a cold stone? So…”

“You are not a fish, how can you know the joy of fish?” Li Zhaojun interrupted Ye Fan coldly, “Moreover, how can ordinary people understand the great freedom and joy of becoming a celestial? Ye Fan, I have yet to decide to sever ties with the mundane world. You, grandpa, and mom still hold me back, but the path to becoming a celestial is destined to be lonely.”

Just as Ye Fan was about to continue persuading Li Zhaojun, she immediately said, “Don’t talk to me about logic, especially when your logic might not be logical.”

After speaking, Li Zhaojun turned and gracefully went upstairs. Ye Fan watched her back, as if she was about to ride the wind and leave.

Only when Li Zhaojun’s figure disappeared did Ye Fan let out a long breath, realizing that the only way was to vigorously practice, enter the refining stage, and then practice the “Nine Yang Divine Skill” to neutralize the side effects of Li Zhaojun’s practice of the “Jade Maiden Heart Scripture.”

However, based on what Li Zhaojun just said, he clearly sensed she had plans to leave the mortal world. Therefore, he must practice the “Nine Yang Divine Skill” before she abandons the world.

That night, Ye Fan returned to Mingde County, had dinner, watched some news, took a bath, and then drank the tonic soup cooked by Wei Ziling and entered the room to practice diligently.

On the next day, Monday, a monthly meeting was held at the police station, and Ye Fan attended this meeting, marking his formal reappearance at the entire Mingde County police station.

To most people’s surprise, Zhao Lina did not take the opportunity to suppress Ye Fan this time, but instead actively gave him a chance to speak.

Ye Fan didn’t have much to say since the three departments he was in charge of were just beginning to get back on track. He just said a few words and ended it.

After getting off work at five in the afternoon, Ye Fan drove away from the police station. On his way to the Jinling Hotel, he found himself being followed again by a regular SAIC General Wuling minivan.

This made him frown a bit, feeling irritated.

Although Fan Feipeng and Wang Xianzhong were merely small flies to him, having flies buzzing around was annoying too.

“I originally planned to let you guys be for a few more days, but since you’re so annoying, I’ll get rid of you this week,” Ye Fan thought to himself with a slightly cold expression.

However, he really didn’t want Fan Feipeng and Wang Xianzhong to know about his meeting with Mo Xiaoyan.

Even though meeting Mo Xiaoyan was no big deal, if Fan Feipeng and Wang Xianzhong made something out of it, it would still be troublesome. After all, his current position as the political commissar of the police station was quite sensitive.

Halfway there, Ye Fan took a leisurely turn into another street. Naturally, the van followed.

After driving a few more minutes down the street, they encountered an intersection with traffic lights. The traffic light was a new model that displayed the duration of the red and green lights. With his sharp eyes, Ye Fan could see the timer from afar and adjusted his speed accordingly.

Finally reaching the intersection, Ye Fan’s car caught the last two cars’ green light timing and passed through the intersection.

Fan Feipeng watched helplessly as Ye Fan’s car passed the intersection while his van was blocked by the two or three cars in front, making it impossible for him to run the red light even if he wanted to.

After waiting a minute, the green light finally came on, and Fan Feipeng got through the intersection, but he couldn’t find Ye Fan’s car anymore.

“Damn it, lucky you!” Fan Feipeng said, a bit annoyed. With his professional sensitivity, he felt that Ye Fan must be going to meet someone, perhaps for a secret rendezvous with Xu Xiangli. So, he was quite frustrated that he lost track of him in a town as familiar as the back of his hand like Mingde County.

However, he didn’t know that Ye Fan’s familiarity with the traffic routes of Mingde County was no less than his own.

After easily shaking off Fan Feipeng, Ye Fan continued driving towards the Jinling Hotel.

Entering the private room Mo Xiaoyan had booked, she greeted him warmly.

“Geez, brother-in-law, you’re two minutes late,” Mo Xiaoyan said with a smile and reached out to hold Ye Fan’s hand, which he deftly moved away from, leaving her hand grasping air.

Ye Fan subtly avoided Mo Xiaoyan’s hand, walked over to the dining table, and sat down.

In Mingde County, he had too many opportunities to meet Mo Xiaoyan, and he really couldn’t afford to let her get too close, or he would surely slip up.

Even though she reached out into the air, Mo Xiaoyan didn’t mind and giggled before turning and sitting back at the table.
