Chapter 312: Chapter 312

A mere gesture? When Ding Fan said this, everyone present fell into an awkward silence. After establishing such a tremendous achievement, to dismiss it as a mere gesture was unbelievable.

If it really were a gesture so simple, then teams three, five, six, and seven wouldn't have had two of their squads cleaned out in Moha City, nor would the blueprints have been stolen by Wolf Fang.

At this moment, Deputy Commander Liu, having obtained the blueprints, briefly expressed his performance after Ding Fan's, and then, as if Ding Fan didn't care much about it, Deputy Commander Liu excitedly took the blueprints and left.

These blueprints were of great importance, and now that they had finally been retrieved, it was naturally time for him to report back.

Ding Fan didn't really care about Deputy Commander Liu's departure; after all, he had no real connection with the Deputy Commander. If the man went his way, so be it.

Having sent Deputy Commander Liu off, Ding Fan repeated the account of Zhou Mei's situation to Elder Shen. Zhou Mei was in a serious condition, and although Ding Fan had administered some rudimentary treatment to ward off immediate danger to her life, she still needed rest and recuperation. He had arranged for her to be taken care of in the Border Defense Army military hospital.

After Deputy Commander Liu departed and all necessary information had been conveyed, Elder Shen naturally wanted to treat Ding Fan. The trip to Moha City had proved Ding Fan to be a great help, and Elder Shen naturally wanted to express his gratitude properly.

As for Elder Shen's kind offer, Ding Fan did not refuse it, and everyone decided to find a large restaurant. Since this was a celebration feast, Elder Shen would, of course, not be stingy.

The restaurant chosen by Elder Shen was called Juxing Tower.

Juxing Tower was somewhat famous in Yanjing, located near the imperial city with its old-style three-story building architecture. In front of the building hung an antique signboard with 'Juxing Tower' elegantly inscribed upon it.

The ones joining the celebratory feast were only Elder Shen, Elder Mu, and Mu Zi. When Ding Fan returned from his mission this time, Ye Ningqing was already out on another assignment and not present, thus she missed out.

As for Lin Qingqing, she was busier than anyone; as soon as things settled down a bit in Hong Kong, she was collected to return...

Elder Shen had specially booked a private room, and the décor inside was both quaint and refined, with staff dressed in ancient garb, intricate designs, and attentive service—a clear indication that dining here would not come cheap.

Elder Shen specifically ordered some of Juxing Tower's special dishes, which Ding Fan found to be truly delicious after giving them a try.

At this time, lured by the enticing dishes, Elder Mu ordered several bottles of Moutai, and Ding Fan joined him for a few glasses.

During the meal, Mu Zi narrated Ding Fan's actions in Moha City like a storyteller recounting a thrilling tale to Elder Mu and Elder Shen.

Mu Zi's storytelling skills were quite impressive, and she managed to make Elder Mu and Elder Shen sweat for Ding Fan during the tense moments. When they learned that Ding Fan had single-handedly razed Wolf Fang's headquarters, the two elders couldn't help but praise his formidable strength.

The meal turned out to be quite enjoyable, beginning around noon and lasting until the sky darkened.

Elder Mu and Elder Shen, those two old fellows, had to organize a meeting with teams three, five, six, and seven later that evening, so they left early.

Mu Zi stayed with Ding Fan a little longer before she too departed. Regardless of circumstances, teams three, five, six, and seven were still disciplined units, and as a member, Mu Zi could not be absent from the meeting.

Since arriving in Yanjing, Ding Fan had always been pestered by Mu Zi. Now that he had finally gotten rid of her, he felt a sense of tranquility.

After leaving Juxing Tower, Ding Fan didn't choose to head straight back to the guesthouse. Enjoying this rare moment of peace, he wandered aimlessly along the road.

"Is that really you, Brother Fan?" A white sedan car that passed by Ding Fan suddenly pulled a U-turn and came back to him. The window rolled down, and to his surprise, the driver was none other than Mary.

Ding Fan hadn't been in Yanjing long, but his memory of Mary was quite vivid—a typical fujoshi with a baby face and a firm bosom who ran a company full of fairies. Ding Fan still remembered being teased by those fairies when he visited her company.

Now that Mary had recognized him, it wouldn't be right for Ding Fan to pretend not to know her. He smiled at Mary.

"That's great..." As Mary spoke, she unexpectedly came out of the car.

Ding Fan was a bit puzzled. Whatever Mary meant by 'that's great,' he knew he had to stay vigilant in the presence of this little fairy.

"Brother Fan..." Mary continued, approaching Ding Fan with a look of distress and hugged his arm right to her chest.

Mary's attire was rather provocative, and Ding Fan could feel his arm rubbing against her chest.

With her eyes sparkling appealingly, Mary said, "Brother Fan, I've been bullied, can you help me, please?" As she spoke, she drew her pretty little face closer to Ding Fan's.

Their breaths intertwined. Ding Fan inwardly accused her of being a true fairy, deploying her trump card from the start.

"If you weren't busy bullying others yourself, they'd be lucky enough as is. Why would they go out of their way to bully you?" said Ding Fan from the side.

Ding Fan still clearly remembered that last time, Mary simply threw a business card at the police officers, and they didn't even dare to get involved with her affairs, not to mention when Ding Fan beat someone up, not only was he not arrested, but he was also awarded some kind of good citizen award, although Ding Fan had not gone to collect it to this day.

From this, Ding Fan had already deduced that Mary must be a person with a very strong background. As long as she didn't provoke others, it was a relief; who would go and bully her?

"Brother Fan, don't forget, you're the man I fancy, you can't let a woman who admires you be heartbroken, can you?" said Mary, her delicate face as pure as a child's, putting on an irresistibly pitiful look.

"Cough cough..." Ding Fan, being told this by the little fairy, truly did not know what to say.

Just then, a Hummer approached from a distance. The vehicle came in strong, and upon seeing the white sedan, it pulled up directly in front of it. The aggressive maneuver made it clear they were there to cause trouble for Mary.

"Brother Fan, they're here. Can you really bear to watch a woman who admires you get bullied?" Mary said, swinging Ding Fan's hand back and forth, speaking in a coquettish tone.

"You stand behind me," said Ding Fan, truly at a loss for words this time.

No matter what, when Ye Qingyun wanted to kill him, Mary and Ye Ningbing had thought of saving him. In light of that friendship, if Mary were in trouble, naturally, Ding Fan wouldn't just stand by and watch.

"I knew Brother Fan was the best..." Mary said, and then stood on her tiptoes and gently kissed Ding Fan on the cheek.

Ding Fan couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. Encountering this fairy was indeed troublesome.

The Hummer stopped, and instantly four men got out, holding baseball bats as they directly approached Ding Fan and his company.

"Fuck, you sure ran fast. You hit my girlfriend and then ran off. Didn't you ask around if my girlfriend is someone you can mess with?" One of the men with a scorpion tattoo on his neck approached.

"So what, she called me a whore, what's wrong with hitting her? Not disfiguring her face is already pretty merciful," Mary retorted without backing down in the slightest.

"Fuck! Aren't you just a whore? Aren't women just whores to be fucked?" the Tattooed Man scoffed coldly. "But, babe, you look kind of interesting. How about this, let me bang you twice tonight, and I'll let you off, what do you say?"

As soon as the Tattooed Man finished, his companions begun to snicker lewdly, their gazes shamelessly scanning Mary's chest.

The youthful-looking whore.

For someone as top-class as Mary, what a thrill it would be to take a ride. For a moment, the four men let their imaginations run wild.

"I'm not free tonight; I have to take care of my boyfriend..." Mary said, completely unaffected as she hugged Ding Fan's arm and nestled her head against his shoulders.

Ding Fan really couldn't handle this little fairy's antics. The boyfriend Mary referred to was unmistakably himself; when had he become her boyfriend, and when had she agreed to take care of him that evening?

"Fuck, you think you're awesome because your boyfriend's here?" The Tattooed Man rested the baseball bat on his shoulder, sizing up Ding Fan before scoffing with disdain. "Kid, if you don't want to get beaten, drop the girl and get lost."

Ding Fan frowned slightly. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽

This Tattooed Man looked like he came from a powerful family, either a rich second-generation, an official's second-generation, or a business second-generation.

Ding Fan really didn't understand how these people could so casually flaunt their father's wealth and act like they owned the world with just one word from their mouths.

"Xiao Qiuqiu, don't say I didn't warn you, my boyfriend has a bad temper. If you provoke him, lying in the hospital for half a year after he beats you would be quite unfortunate, so it's better for you all to leave quickly," Mary said with an expression that suggested she thrived in such chaos.

"Fuck! How could we four be afraid of your one boyfriend?" The Tattooed Man was very scornful. "Bitch, if you don't want to get hit today, then kneel down and kowtow four times to us brothers. Otherwise, I'll break your three legs today!"

"Get lost!" Ding Fan originally did not want to bother with these idiots, but the more you ignore such idiots, the bolder they get.

They never understand what it means to be low-key or what it means to be patient.

At this moment, a glint of excitement shone in the eyes of Mary standing beside him.

Ding Fan looked super cool when fighting. She hadn't expected that on such a breezy night, she'd get to see a demigod throw punches right in front of her...

"Beat his ass..." the Tattooed Man said to the side!
