Chapter 752: Chapter 752
Wang Zhuang commanded, and his followers immediately walked toward Ding Fan and Zhang Wanyue.
One of the gangsters reached out directly toward Zhang Wanyue's chest.
To Ding Fan, these gangsters were nothing more than ants, but now that they were trying to bite him, he had no choice but to expend some effort to crush them.
Ding Fan quickly pulled Zhang Wanyue behind him. The gangster trying to grab her chest missed completely.
"Kill him..." A few gangsters raised their fists to strike Ding Fan.
"What are you guys doing..." Just then, two policemen walked over.
The gangsters who were about to rush at Ding Fan stopped in their tracks and tried to act nonchalant as they walked past him.
"Officer Wang, we were just chatting here..." Wang Zhuang waved at the approaching policemen.
"What chat? Just move along. A VIP is coming here today. Listen well, you all, it's better not to mess around here... I might turn a blind eye to the usual trouble, but if you try anything today, I definitely won't let it slide..."
After the policemen arrived, they sternly admonished Wang Zhuang.
"Don't worry, Officer Wang. Since you've spoken, even if something major happens today, we definitely won't make a move..." Wang Zhuang responded.
"Wang Zhuang, you better be clear about this, or else you're in for trouble."
The policemen gave a few more warnings before heading off to patrol elsewhere.
"Zhang Wanyue, you're really lucky. Who would've thought that upon arriving in Zhangzhou, there would be policemen to protect you?" Zhang Lina sneered.
Zhang Lina had wanted Wang Zhuang to help her beat up Zhang Wanyue's boyfriend here as a form of revenge, but the policemen had warned Wang Zhuang.
Sometimes, even gangsters have to follow the rules. When the policemen have warned you, and you still defy them, you're just asking for trouble, aren't you?
"Lina, it's alright. Officer Wang said we can't start a fight here. We'll just follow this couple and wait until they leave this place to teach them a lesson," Wang Zhuang told her. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝙣𝙚𝙩
Zhang Lina smiled then lightly kissed Wang Zhuang on the face. "Hmm, that's not a bad idea..."
Zhang Wanyue, seeing Zhang Lina's attitude, knew that anything she said would fall on deaf ears, so she promptly pulled Ding Fan into Sifang Street.
Ding Fan and Zhang Wanyue were here to choose evening dresses, so they still needed to go shopping.
Meanwhile, Zhang Lina reversed the roles and followed Ding Fan and Zhang Wanyue with a group of petty gangsters.
At that moment, Wang Zhuang's phone rang.
Wang Zhuang, visibly nervous and excited, quickly opened his phone. For some reason, perhaps to show off, he answered on speakerphone.
"Big brother, this is Wang Zhuang. Do you need me for something?" Wang Zhuang responded, thumping his chest.
"Wang Zhuang, this afternoon, a VIP will be at Sifang. Tell your guys to behave themselves. I'll also be there. Think about the consequences if something goes wrong..."
The caller was quite assertive and, without waiting for a reply, hung up.
"Did you guys hear the boss? A big-shot is coming to Sifang Mountain later, and big brother will also be there. You all better behave. Don't screw this up..."
Wang Zhuang now seemed to be waving a commander's baton, declaring orders emphatically.
"Zhang Wanyue, see? How amazing is my boyfriend... Now look at your boyfriend, he doesn't even dare to speak up, not even a whisper..." Zhang Lina disdainfully said.
Even though Zhang Lina and her group were annoying, Ding Fan didn't want to stoop to their level since they were all just ordinary people...
Ignoring Zhang Lina, Zhang Wanyue took Ding Fan by the hand and they entered a clothing store with an English sign.
At Sifang Street, most of the stores catered to wealthy clients. The clothing store Ding Fan and Zhang Wanyue entered was extremely luxurious, and just looking at the environment, one could tell that the items here weren't cheap.
Seeing Ding Fan and Zhang Wanyue enter this clothing store, Zhang Lina was initially stunned, then followed them in, trying to watch them make fools of themselves.
To her, these two poor saps browsing such an upscale place were just waiting to embarrass themselves.
Upon entering the store, Ding Fan was surprised to recognize someone there.
This man, appearing to be in his sixties and immaculately dressed in a Western suit, looked very gentlemanly.
Ding Fan could not recall this man's name, but during their time in Haijiao Forest, he had seen this man accompanying an elder from Mount Song.
This man was apparently a disciple of the Mount Song elder.
As the man noticed Ding Fan approaching, he hurried over to greet him. However, Ding Fan quickly sent a message using his Divine Sense directly into the man's consciousness.
Now possessing profound cultivation, Ding Fan could send messages directly to someone's consciousness, audible only to the recipient.
"I don't need you here; just pretend you don't recognize me."
The man was stunned, but he didn't disobey Ding Fan's wishes and instead directed the nearby staff to continue their tasks.
From this man's behavior, it appeared that he owned the store.
"This dress looks nice... Brother Fan, what do you think?" Upon entering the store, Zhang Wanyue immediately took a liking to an evening dress.
Ding Fan walked over and looked at the dress. It was very elegant, with black edges and a circle of white lace, and it seemed very upscale...
"Zhang Wanyue, you can't possibly be thinking of making your poor boyfriend buy this dress for you. Just a heads up since we're both classmates, don't say I didn't warn you, but this dress costs tens of thousands. Don't get stuck unable to leave the store..." Zhang Lina sneered, provoking laughter from the people behind her.
Ding Fan, however, completely ignored Zhang Lina and the others, and directly said to Zhang Wanyue, "I think this set of clothes really suits your temperament, why don't you try it on."
Zhang Wanyue glanced at the price tag on the clothes.
After seeing the price, Zhang Wanyue was utterly stunned.
The price tag on the clothes was 38,000.00.
Zhang Wanyue was in shock, as it was just a regular evening dress, yet it cost so much...
When Zhang Wanyue came out, Steward Wang had given her a bank card, but she didn't want to spend so much money on just one dress.
"Tsk tsk... A piece of clothing costing over thirty thousand..." Zhang Lina squeezed over, looked at the tag, and couldn't help but revel in schadenfreude.
At this moment, Zhang Wanyue was also hesitating about whether to buy the dress or not.
"This dress isn't much, just thirty-eight dollars, you should try it. I'll pay for it once I've tried it on," Ding Fan said to Zhang Wanyue with a smile.
Zhang Wanyue was startled.
It was clearly thirty-eight thousand...
Zhang Wanyue wanted to correct Ding Fan's words, but as she turned to look at him, he was winking at her...
Even if Zhang Wanyue was slow, she understood that Ding Fan must have had his reasons for doing this...
Though she did not understand, Zhang Wanyue still nodded and, following what Ding Fan had said, picked up the dress and headed towards the fitting room...
Meanwhile, Zhang Lina and the others burst into laughter.
"Kid, are you dumb? Thirty-eight for a dress? What place do you think this is? This is Sifang Street..."
"I guess your math was learned from your master, can't you see the decimal point..."
"Dumbass, that's thirty-eight thousand..."
As for these insignificant remarks, Ding Fan acted as if he hadn't heard them at all.
Ding Fan was certainly going to teach these ignorant people a lesson, but not now...
Zhang Wanyue was straightforward, and from her expression, it was evident that she had issues with Zhang Lina, so for now, it wasn't a good time for Ding Fan to settle scores with these people.
If he really did, it would only deepen Zhang Wanyue's issues, possibly leading to a mental block that would be difficult to cure...
Soon, Zhang Wanyue came out of the fitting room.
"Wow... Miss, you really look beautiful in this dress..." At this moment, the attendant, couldn't help but be dazzled and genuinely complimented her.
By then, Zhang Wanyue, after putting on the evening dress, looked like a princess from a fairy tale, charming and unforgettable...
Not to mention others, even Wang Zhuang beside her was stunned.
"Beautiful... Indeed, beautiful..."
This time, Zhang Lina was annoyed, as praising someone else in front of her irked her, and she twisted Wang Zhuang's arm sharply. Wang Zhuang yelped in pain.
"You... What are you doing, are you dumb? Why did you pinch me?" Wang Zhuang got really annoyed from the pinch.
Seeing Wang Zhuang getting angry, Zhang Lina didn't dare to say much at the moment, gave him a glare, and then kept quiet.
After a good look, Ding Fan couldn't help but sincerely admire.
Clothes make the man, Zhang Wanyue in this evening dress seemed like a completely different person, majestic, elegant, and graceful...
"I think this dress is nice, let's take this one," Ding Fan then said.
"Yes, miss, you look even better than the model endorsing this dress, it truly suits you..." the attendant chimed in.
Zhang Wanyue was indeed very satisfied with the dress herself. However, it was the price that she found hard to accept.
Although it was Steward Wang's bank card, spending so much money on just one dress still made her reluctant.
"Let's do this. I'll take this dress," Ding Fan said, while he directly pulled out a fifty-dollar bill from his pocket...
Zhang Lina snorted coldly upon seeing this. She was just waiting to see how Ding Fan would be thrown out by the store staff soon.
Thirty-eight thousand mistaken for thirty-eight... if Ding Fan got thrown out later, that would be a huge embarrassment for Zhang Wanyue...
However, contrary to Zhang Lina's expectations, the attendant very respectfully took the fifty-dollar bill from Ding Fan's hand.
Then reverently recorded the transaction, and the anticipated scene of Ding Fan getting thrown out never occurred.
At last, the young lady responsible for attending them took the bill to the front desk.
It didn't take long before another attendant approached Ding Fan with a receipt.
"Sir, here is your change of twelve dollars..." the attendant said very respectfully...
The dress really sold for thirty-eight dollars... Zhang Lina was utterly dumbfounded...
