Chen Nan shivered all over and quickly hid behind the sofa, "Yun Fei, calm down, isn’t it just a gift? I have it! I was just joking with you, don’t be violent!"
"What gift? Let me see it!"
Yun Fei stood opposite him, holding a kitchen knife in a typical shrewish posture, clearly not believing Chen Nan’s words.
"Can you put down the knife first?"
Chen Nan was somewhat speechless, thinking to himself if Yun Fei was out of her mind. Who in the world demands gifts ? It’s like a robbery.
Yun Fei took a step forward, "Cut the crap, hand over the gift first. If you dare to lie to me, I’ll chop you up with this knife."
Chen Nan was speechless.
He truly had the gift, it’s just that he had been too busy and forgot to give it to them.
He took out two porcelain bottles from his pocket and tossed one to Yun Fei and Su Yixuan each.
Yun Fei excitedly took the porcelain bottle, opened the lid, and upon seeing a snow-white pill inside, her face immediately turned unpleasant: "You asshole, I’m not sick, why are you giving me medicine, are you cursing me?"
Chen Nan really wanted to roll his eyes at her. This crazy woman was too irrational.
"Long hair but short on knowledge, big chest but no brains, that’s you."
Chen Nan pointed to the pill in her hand and said, "This is a Beauty Pill I refined with my master in the mountains, using Forty-nine days. It ensures your skin stays moist and shiny, no longer susceptible to wind or sunburn, and you’ll never need cosmetic products again."
Yun Fei’s eyes lit up, "Really?"
"Cooked it up!" Chen Nan replied irritably: "Try it, and you’ll know. It won’t kill you, that’s for sure."
Yun Fei pouted and popped the pill into her mouth, muttering, "It’s not really poisoned, right? After hearing your words, it feels like you’re a quack from jianghu."
Chen Nan really wanted to scold her severely, dousing her in dog’s blood. He kindly offered her a Beauty Pill, yet this crazy woman was still worried about it being poisoned.
"Chen Nan, what is this one?"
Su Yixuan also opened her porcelain bottle, which contained a half-transparent pill, crystal clear and emitting an enticing fragrance.
"This is an Essence Qi Pill."
Chen Nan explained, "I condensed nature’s spiritual energy to make this. It took Forty-nine days to refine. You seemed really tired from work lately, a bit weary, so I guarantee that after taking this, you’ll have boundless energy and strength."
After dinner, Chen Nan left the house.
On the roadside, a Range Rover was parked, belonging to Qin Yixuan.
Since her last Volkswagen was wrecked, Chen Nan had snatched this car from the Wei family and given it to her.
Chen Nan opened the car door and sat inside.
Qin Yixuan handed him a stack of documents. Chen Nan read through them rapidly, "So, the primary sources of income for the Red Snake Gang are bars, nightclubs, and hotels."
Qin Yixuan nodded and said, "Right, they stepped into Ningjiang and took over the Wang family’s businesses after swallowing them. However, they seem to be secretly dealing drugs too, but unfortunately, there’s no proof."
"I have proof," Chen Nan said with a smile, "Just bring some folks from the Criminal Police Team later, and we’ll shut down all their businesses under the guise of drug trafficking."
Qin Yixuan frowned, "Where did you get the proof?"
"You’ll know in a while."
Chen Nan smiled, dialed Du Lang’s phone, and asked him to prepare 500 grams of drugs, divided into 100 packets, all neatly packaged.
Qin Yixuan seemed to understand, exclaiming, "You... you’re framing them?"
"Don’t put it so harshly, we’re fabricating evidence," Chen Nan replied with a faint smile. "We’ll cut off their financial sources first; then I’ll lead a team to hunt down their top brass, ensuring that the Red Snake Gang never recovers."
Qin Yixuan gave a thumbs up: "Root and branch, ruthless."
Chen Nan pointed ahead, "Let’s go, Du Lang should be almost here. Let’s wait up ahead for him."
At the agreed location, Chen Nan met up with Du Lang.
"Your stuff, it’s all inside," Du Lang handed over a carry-on fabric bag to Chen Nan, grinning, "So, what sort of good deed are you up to? Count me in."
Chen Nan placed the fabric bag in the car: "Going to the bar, to flirt and pick up girls."
"How could you leave me out of such fun!"
Du Lang, visibly excited, swiftly opened the door of the Range Rover and sat in the back seat.
Qin Yixuan muttered under her breath.
Although Chen Nan and Du Lang were both her superiors, even her direct bosses, she couldn’t help but speak her mind.
Du Lang shook his head, "Huo Feng, that’s not right of you to say. Is it wrong for a man to like beautiful women? Don’t tell me you don’t like handsome..."
Chen Nan tossed a cigarette backward and said, "Xuanxuan has been my woman for a long time, so stop hitting on my girl."
Du Lang was stunned, "That was fast. When did you guys start hooking up?"
"On a pitch-dark night, Xuanxuan and I, alone, had a few drinks too many, and then..."
Qin Yixuan pounced forward, throwing a punch at Chen Nan’s face.
Facing this shameless duo, she felt almost on the verge of a breakdown. There was nothing between them, but the way Chen Nan told it, it sounded so real she almost believed it herself.
