Chapter 93: Chapter 93: Attending the Feast at Hongmen with a Beauty

"Why are you so cowardly? You’ve completely embarrassed me. I’m never including you in a money-making deal again!"

Watching the two men walking away, Liu Mo cursed in anger.

Mockery had failed, and Lin Fan had succeeded in showing off.

Now everyone was calling him a big hero.

He had turned into a joke instead.

"Young master, with what just happened, I definitely couldn’t withstand it. Otherwise, the reputation of Tianxiang Pavilion would be ruined, and I couldn’t bear that responsibility."

Liu Ruixi whispered in Liu Mo’s ear, lowering his voice.

"But now that he’s in, are you still worried I can’t handle him? Here’s the plan: later, provoke him to split the bill with you, then I’ll serve a bunch of super expensive dishes, and he won’t be able to pay. Then, I will contact the media to report that the hero who saved someone is dodging the bill. That would be a double reversal. Not only will he lose face, but he’ll also end up in prison."

"Just don’t make it too expensive; I can only go up to 200,000!"

Liu Mo lowered his voice.

He had been spending too much recently and didn’t have much money left.

"Don’t worry, young master. I have an 80% discount privilege, and later I can inflate the prices. As long as we go dutch, it’s just a matter of adding one more layer. A single bottle of wine from me will be enough to land him in prison."

Liu Ruixi smirked proudly, watching Lin Fan’s retreating figure.

Once he entered this door, there were too many ways to ensure he couldn’t leave.

"Alright, whether we can bring this guy down today depends on you."

Liu Mo smiled slightly and walked towards the private room.

His entourage quickly gathered around him.

As per his instructions, they split up to execute his plan.

"What do you say about the arrangements Liu Mo made? After all, dining at such a high-end place costs a lot. How can we persuade that kid to split the bill with Liu Mo?"

Two entourage members entered the restroom, still muttering about what to say at the dinner table.

"We have to keep praising him, then make a fuss to have him treat us. Liu Mo can then generously offer to share the bill."

The other lackey repeated a concocted strategy.

"I must say, you are awesome, coming up with such a pretext. Let’s notify the others later to coordinate and praise him to the skies, then fleece him,"

"I think this kid is crazy, knowing that the restaurant manager is Liu Mo’s distant cousin and still daring to dine here. Just wait till he can’t pay the bill and see what he does. Competing with Liu Mo for a girl, he truly is brainless."

The two continued their whispered conversation as they walked out of the restroom.

Unaware that in the last stall, Lin Fan was squatting there.

"Young master, what can I do for you?"

Luo Shaoyong saw Lin Fan’s number.

He immediately pressed the answer button.

"Nothing much, I was just on my way to have dinner when I saw a mother and child seeking death, and I casually saved someone. But then I was surrounded by curious elderly onlookers and even got photographed by reporters. I don’t want my image appearing in any reports, so I need you to use your media connections to cool this down, especially keep my face out of it."

Accustomed to recon behind enemy lines, Lin Fan had developed a habit of keeping a low profile.

Because he knew that becoming the focus could be quite troublesome.

"Rest assured, young master. I’ll personally oversee this to ensure it doesn’t cause any trouble,"

After hanging up, Luo Shaoyong immediately got busy.

Handling such high-profile incidents was precisely what PR firms specialize in.

Having managed that, Lin Fan finally pushed open the toilet stall door.

"Splitting the bill, is it? Well, I’m interested to see how much money you can come up with."

Lin Fan stood in front of the sink, a smile playing at his lips.

Just then, his phone rang again.

It was Qi Sijiang calling from the hospital.

"Mr. Lin, I didn’t hear you on the call earlier, did you have any instructions?"

Lin Fan was actually about to call Qi Sijiang.

But then a crowd of elders had surged in.

The two hadn’t even spoken, and had to hang up hastily.

"Nothing urgent, I’m just at your restaurant to eat, but it seems your manager has a big issue with me and even wants to conspire with others to cheat me out of my money."

Lin Fan roughly explained the situation.

After hearing this, Qi Sijiang shuddered all over.

This was like looking for trouble with a lantern in hand.

"This damn fool, Mr. Lin, rest assured, I will have him get lost immediately. I am rushing to the restaurant right now. If you need anything, just instruct me!"

"Don’t be so quick to send him off; since I’m here for dinner, I naturally have to look after your business. In a moment..."

Lin Fan whispered a few instructions before finally hanging up the phone.

He headed to the reserved private room.

"Why didn’t you go in?"

As Lin Fan approached the entrance, he noticed Yang Linglong standing there.

Seeing him coming, she immediately and mysteriously pulled him aside into the pantry.

"I have something to tell you."

Inside the small room, Yang Linglong mysteriously closed the door.

Turning back around, her eyes were shimmering.

"Can’t you say it outside?"

Lin Fan looked at Yang Linglong, puzzled.

At that moment, she said nothing.

Instead, she hugged Lin Fan tightly.

Leaning her head against his sturdy chest.

"I want to apologize to you. I shouldn’t have doubted you earlier, I’m sorry, my hero. I swear, from now on I will unconditionally believe any word you say."

"It’s a small matter, don’t take it to heart."

Lin Fan gently patted Yang Linglong’s head.

He hadn’t taken the earlier incident to heart at all.

"It might be a small matter for others, but not for me. I am also a bereaved family member; I know how it feels. When I lost my brother, I felt extremely desperate too, but fortunately, you appeared by my side. Perhaps this was my brother’s spirit, arranged from beyond."

Yang Linglong, holding Lin Fan tight, was tearful.

Looking at her pitiful appearance, Lin Fan didn’t know what to do.

"Actually, there are some things... I’ve hidden from you..."

Lin Fan spoke in a lowered voice.

After all, this so-called secret boyfriend was just her side of the story.

But he had to admit, he enjoyed this ambiguity.

"I don’t need to know, I don’t want to know, I just know that you must have your reasons, and that you will treat me well, that’s enough. So please don’t tell me, never let me know things I shouldn’t know."

Yang Linglong quickly shook her head instinctively in refusal.

It wasn’t that she wasn’t curious, but she didn’t dare to pry.

Because she knew, once the covert operation was leaked, it would cease execution.

The day Lin Fan revealed the truth would be the day they part.

That was something she absolutely couldn’t accept.

"Alright, alright, but no more crying. Your beautiful makeup is all ruined, and it doesn’t look good. Everyone should have arrived by now; let’s go in."

Lin Fan quickly and gently wiped the tears from Yang Linglong’s face.

"But those people usually revolve around Liu Mo, I’m afraid they might embarrass you. Maybe we shouldn’t eat this meal."

Yang Linglong originally thought it was simple, just to fiercely flaunt her boyfriend.

To completely shut Liu Mo’s mouth.

But now, it looked somewhat difficult.

"Of course, we are going to eat this meal, and we are going to eat it heartily. Don’t worry, tonight you will definitely be the happiest woman!"

Lin Fan smiled as he pinched Yang Linglong’s nose.

As for who the main character of this banquet was.

It was still unknown.
