"My beloved consort, who would have thought that you care so much about me,"
Chen Nan said with a chuckle as he opened the door and quickly devoured the black sesame soup handed to him, nodding with satisfaction, "This tastes pretty good, is there any more? Give me another bowl; I won’t need breakfast today."
"You think I made this as a meal for you!" Yun Fei rolled her eyes at him.
Chen Nan draped his arm over her shoulder and laughed, "Eating it as a meal isn’t so bad, the taste is quite good. Why don’t you make me another bowl?"
Yun Fei smiled proudly, "I did well, didn’t I? Are you hooked on the flavor?"
Chen Nan looked up and sighed, "It’s barely acceptable, a bit better than eating plain rice."
Yun Fei pinched him lightly, "If I didn’t feel guilty, I wouldn’t have gotten up early to make this for you. Look at your hair, it’s gone white. At first glance, one might think you’re an old man!"
Chen Nan touched his nose, "Since I’m an old man now, should you be calling me grandpa?"
Yun Fei snatched the bowl from his hand, then flashed him a seductive smile and a wink. As she turned to leave, she said, "Your Majesty, if you want more, I can make it for you again tonight."
Watching her leave, Chen Nan shook his head with a bitter smile. He was about to go and wash up when his phone rang.
It was a call from Poison Wolf.
"Wolf Brother, what’s up?" Chen Nan asked cheerily.
"Buddy, I heard you’ve turned into an old man, so I wanted to send my regards," Poison Wolf laughed heartily.
Chen Nan cursed jokingly, "Your timing is impeccable. I actually have a favor to ask of you!"
"Even if you hadn’t mentioned it, I’d know. It’s about that assassin, isn’t it?" Poison Wolf sighed, "Really, you have the position of Crown Prince in Sky Team, yet you neglect it completely, preferring to play bodyguard instead. Now look, surrounded by a bunch of women, one’s always in trouble or another needing protection. Why put yourself through this? Alas, the curse of the sentimental. Brother, you..."
Chen Nan said impatiently, "Enough with the nonsense. Since you know about the assassin, you must have already investigated, right?"
"Not only have I investigated, but I’ve also caught him," Poison Wolf said, "That guy’s bullet almost cost your wife’s life. Tell me, how do you want to deal with him? I’ll follow your orders."
"Keep him locked up for now; don’t let him die. I’ll handle him personally," said Chen Nan, suddenly sensing something amiss, "What do you mean ’my wife’? Can’t you speak properly? She’s just a friend, alright?"
"Don’t play innocent. The world might have wolves that don’t eat meat, but there are definitely no men who aren’t lechers," Poison Wolf chuckled lewdly, "Tell me the truth, have you slept with her yet?"
"Screw your sister! Am I that kind of person?"
"Aren’t you, though?"
"Ah, you philistine!" Chen Nan sighed, "Don’t think everyone in the world is as lecherous as you. I am a gentleman, a true gentleman who doesn’t even give a sidelong glance at a beauty."
Poison Wolf paused, then suddenly asked, "Could it be that you’re gay?"
"I’ll gay your sister," Chen Nan retorted, laughing, "Enough with the nonsense. I’ll call you later when I drop them off at school, and then I’ll go deal with that assassin."
"Alright, no problem."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Nan went to wash up.
After having breakfast, Chen Nan went to school with the two girls.
Along the way, Liu Tiantian kept staring at Chen Nan’s hair, full of curiosity, incessantly asking him when he had dyed his hair and saying it looked countless times cooler than before, which left Chen Nan quite speechless.
Upon reaching the school gate, Chen Nan used the excuse of needing to buy something to let the two girls enter the school first.
On the road outside the school gate, the van that was even crappier than scrap, belonging to Poison Wolf, was parked there; Chen Nan pulled the door open and sat inside.
"Those two just now are the school beauties, right? They seem to like you a lot!" Poison Wolf looked at Chen Nan with a mischievous smile, "Come on, tell your brother honestly, have you slept with them or not?"
Chen Nan really felt like he was dealing with someone hopeless, "Does your brain think about anything other than sleeping with women? Can’t you be pure like me?"
Poison Wolf was left speechless for a long while.
He looked at Chen Nan and sighed, "You really haven’t slept with them? You’re too naive, man. Such good school beauties, and you’re not sleeping with any of them? If it were me, I’d have to try them both before anything else."
Chen Nan couldn’t be bothered to reproach this lecher anymore, "Let’s go, let’s go see that assassin."
"Damn it, when I have some free time in the future, I’ll also find a school beauty to guard." Muttering to himself, Poison Wolf started the van.
Ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of a villa.
"I’ve been operating out of Ningjiang City recently and have been mostly staying here," said Poison Wolf as he got out of the car and led the way inside.
The villa’s decoration was quite luxurious. When they reached the innermost room, Poison Wolf entered a code on a button on the wall, and a door on the floor suddenly opened, revealing a basement.
As Chen Nan entered the basement, he saw a grim-looking middle-aged man tied to a cross.
Poison Wolf nodded, "That’s right, seems like they call him ’Flower Cat’ or something."
"Good, I haven’t ’played’ with anyone in a long time. I’m going to enjoy this today."
A sinister smile crept across Chen Nan’s face as he grabbed a chair from the ground and charged over, swinging the chair down hard onto Flower Cat.
The wooden chair crashed heavily onto his chest, breaking the chair legs with a loud snap, followed by the crisp sound of breaking bones.
Flower Cat screamed in agony, his body shaking, blood spilling from his mouth, "Who the hell are you? What do you want?"
"I’m your damn ancestor!"
Chen Nan casually slapped Flower Cat’s face hard with a "smack," shattering several of Flower Cat’s teeth, and then turned around to smash the shoulder with the chair again.
Another chair leg broke, and Flower Cat’s shoulder blade let out a snapping sound, shattering.
The agonizing scream was as pitiful as slaughtering a pig, Flower Cat shaking violently in pain, his clothes quickly drenched in cold sweat, and his face streaming with sweat as if caught in a downpour.
"What the hell do you want?" Flower Cat’s face twisted in pain as he looked at Chen Nan, "Just say your demands, and I’ll agree to anything, just stop torturing me."
Chen Nan nodded and said, "Actually, it’s very simple. Tell me, who instructed you to kill Su Yixuan?"
