After leaving Gu Mantang's house, Lin Fan sat in the passenger seat.

He had drunk some alcohol and was looking at the neon-filled skyscrapers.

The conversation just now had overturned all his understanding again.

"Are you okay?"

Feng Xiaoxiao looked curiously at Lin Fan, who had remained silent, and asked with some concern.

"I'm just thinking about some things."

Lin Fan lit a cigarette and took a deep puff: "Back then, my grandfather said he'd give me a year to stabilize the chaos in Red Flag County. I was originally a bit dismissive because a year's time seemed very long to me. But now it seems that there are many things hidden here that I don't know about. I'm starting to doubt whether one year will be enough."

"You definitely shouldn't lose heart, after all, you're not like the old fox, your teacher. Moreover, they've been watching the Red Flag County situation for quite a while, so surely they know more than we do. Otherwise, they wouldn't send you to handle it at this time. Without enough intelligence and clues, achieving what you've done today is already one in a hundred."

Holding the steering wheel, Feng Xiaoxiao reached out to grab Lin Fan's hand: "After all, you're human, not a god. Don't set such high standards for yourself. Having the life we have today is already something we couldn't even imagine before."

"But I'm more interested in what's happening in the Southern Border. If I can't break the situation in Red Flag County, I fear I won't even have the chance to go to the Southern Border."

Lin Fan looked at Feng Xiaoxiao's fox-like face, and the image of Hong Ye crossed his mind.

I wonder if she is safe in the Southern Border right now.

"I believe that as long as you want to do something, you can definitely achieve it."

Feng Xiaoxiao gave a reassuring smile, but the moment her words fell, two cars suddenly sandwiched their car from front and back.

As the car was forced to stop, Feng Xiaoxiao couldn't help but become nervous. After all, this was the center of the Provincial City, and this sudden hijacking made her instinctively pick up the phone, but Lin Fan stopped her.

"This should be for me."

Looking at the men in black who got out of the cars, Lin Fan squinted.

These people did not carry weapons, nor did they surround the car. The leader just came to the front of the car but did not speak, instead presenting a phone to the window.

Lin Fan lowered the car window, took the phone, and placed it against his ear.

"Darling, I heard you were in the Provincial City, so I specially came back to find you. However, since I'm not convenient to show myself, I sent someone to invite you. Just go with them, I'll be there soon."

Wei Manman's voice came through the phone, accompanied by the sound of helicopter rotor blades.

"Isn't that a bit exaggerated?"

Lin Fan shook his head with a wry smile. The daughter of a wealthy family really knows how to make an entrance.

"There's no choice; it's because of my special identity. I can only stay for one night. Don't you want to see me?"

Wei Manman naturally had her own reasons, and regarding the Southern Border, Gu Mantang kept his mouth shut, indicating that this involved many secrets of the security bureau.

"Alright, see you later then."

Of course, Lin Fan couldn't refuse, especially since he agreed to Zhu Defu to have dinner with the Wei Family. Wei Manman's sudden return was a guarantee. No matter how you put it, this daughter is far closer compared to son-in-law Chu Shihan.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Fan turned to Feng Xiaoxiao: "I have something to handle tonight. You should go see Zhang Xiaoxiao."

"Okay, then take care of yourself, let's keep in touch when you're free."

Feng Xiaoxiao kissed him on the cheek before watching Lin Fan push open the car door and step out, disappearing into the night with the group. Then she playfully took out her phone and dialed Zhang Xiaoxiao's number.

Before long, Feng Xiaoxiao's car stopped at the school entrance, and she saw the tall Zhang Xiaoxiao walking towards her from afar. Her straight long legs and graceful figure truly possessed the rare proportions of a supermodel.

"Darling, you look stunning."

Seeing Zhang Xiaoxiao sitting in the passenger seat, Feng Xiaoxiao immediately reached out and pinched her exposed, fair legs.

"You creep, how can you be so naughty? If you want to touch, go touch your brother-in-law instead."

Zhang Xiaoxiao pulled over her seatbelt and buckled it.

"What's so good about your brother-in-law's hairy legs? They're nothing compared to your smooth legs. In the future, your boyfriend will surely want to touch you all the time."

Feng Xiaoxiao stepped on the gas and drove towards the commercial street behind the school.

"By the way, the day after tomorrow, we have an event at the aquarium where we need two mermaids to join in. Didn't you say you wanted to try being a mermaid? Want to give it a shot?"

"The day after tomorrow... I'm afraid I can't because my brother is taking me out."

Hearing the invitation, Zhang Xiaoxiao was delighted, but upon checking the date, she immediately declined.

"Your brother taking you out? Where would he take you?"

Feng Xiaoxiao looked curiously at Zhang Xiaoxiao, but she shook her head: "He's being all mysterious and hasn't said where. He even told me not to inform Mom and Dad. I'm still wondering where he's taking me."

"Hopefully, he's not selling you off to be the wife of some old man in the countryside?"

Feng Xiaoxiao reached out and took a keychain-sized item from the compartment: "And here's an emergency caller for you. Once you press it, it can remotely send me your location. Keep it safe, and if you're in danger in the future, you can notify me immediately!"
