While out picking up trash, I was forcefully pushed around by a beautiful female CEO.

"Bufan, your brother-in-law is a man of impeccable morals. Our second sister is only at ease marrying someone like him, isn't she? Don't try to encourage him to make mistakes. What if he gets caught? He'll be kneeling on a washboard when he gets home!"

Fang Yu wore glasses and appeared refined, but when he spoke, there was a hint of feigned maturity and a sense of playing along.

"That's right, come on, brother-in-law, cousin, this is the first time we've met, shall we have a drink? I'll drink first!"

Ding Kai was much more straightforward, raising his glass directly to Lin Feng.

It's clear that Ding Kai genuinely considers Meng Bufan a friend; otherwise, he wouldn't have shown such respect to Lin Feng and Li Zhiheng, even though he wasn't familiar with them.

"By the way, brother-in-law, I heard from Bufan that you're incredibly skilled in martial arts?"

Ding Kai downed his drink in one gulp, then looked at Lin Feng with curiosity.

"good!"

Lin Feng finished his drink, put down his glass, and glanced at Ding Kai: "What?"

"Brother-in-law, you don't know, do you? Ding Kai is a Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) practitioner, and he's planning to join the army with me this September."

Meng Bufan said with great pleasure.

"That's a noble ambition. Men are like iron, tempered into steel through countless trials. Having gone through the baptism of military life, they will grow even faster!"

Lin Feng looked appreciative upon hearing this, then thought for a moment. He figured he would have already contacted his parents by September, so he said, "If you want to go to a certain war zone in September, just let me know, and I can help you transfer there and we can even be assigned together!"

"Wow, brother-in-law, what do you do? How do you have so much power?"

Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, Ding Kai was initially shocked, but then looked at Lin Feng with burning eyes.

"I used to be a soldier, but I retired two years ago."

Lin Feng said with a light laugh.

Ding Kai looked puzzled. How could an ordinary veteran have such a lot of influence? He kept saying he could arrange military deployments.

Sitting next to him, Fang Yu couldn't help but glance at Lin Feng, then quietly picked up his phone and sent a message to Ding Kai: "Ding Kai, you actually believed him? If he really had that much power, would he be the Meng family's son-in-law? Besides, I've never even heard of this guy in Minghai City. He's only had two drinks and he's already showing off. No wonder he managed to win over Fanzi's second sister."

Ding Kai: "I also find it strange, but Bufan did say that his brother-in-law is very skilled."

Fang Yu: "This kid is as weak as a rabbit. Didn't he also say you were very skilled?"

Ding Kai: "That's true. It seems we can't trust what his brother-in-law says. But anyway, we don't have any dealings with him; we're just having a drink."

Fang Yu: "Yeah, I'm just reminding you, don't actually get fooled by this guy! Also, you should know about the marriage alliance between the Meng and Su families. I heard Fanzi say he was bringing his brother-in-law today, and I thought it was Young Master Su, hoping to get to know him. Turns out, I don't know what kind of person he is. I wish I hadn't come."

Ding Kai: "Fang Yu, that's not fair! We're all just playing together, is it necessary to be so realistic?"

Fang Yu: "Heh, reality? This show-off guy marrying Meng Qingyao is like stealing Su Mingxuan's girlfriend. Do you still dare to hang out with Meng Bufan after this? Aren't you afraid of getting burned? Anyway, after today, I'm cutting ties with Meng Bufan to avoid trouble from Young Master Su later. Do whatever you want, I've already given you advice as a friend!"

After sending the last message, Fang Yu put down his phone.

Ding Kai's expression kept changing, as if he was extremely conflicted.

"What are you two doing?"

Meng Bufan was immersed in the soft fragrance of the girl in his arms and did not notice the subtle changes in the expressions on the two people's faces. He only noticed that the two people suddenly stopped talking and the atmosphere suddenly became cold.

"It's okay, I'll just have two more drinks and then I'll leave."

Fang Yu said something to Meng Bufan in a nonchalant tone.

Meng Bufan was stunned for a moment, assuming that Ding Kai had something to do: "Okay, anyway, I still have a few days off, we can hang out together later."

Fang Yu sneered, about to say something, when a slender woman dressed somewhat seductively swayed her hips as she walked over.

Lin Feng had been watching Fang Yu and Ding Kai's actions and expressions from beginning to end. The two of them had been fiddling with their phones for a long time, and it would be impossible that they hadn't been whispering to each other.

Combined with Fang Yu's sudden announcement that he was leaving, and the sneer at the end, Lin Feng could roughly guess what was going on.

They're just kids, and as long as they don't go too far or get too cocky, he's too lazy to bother with them.

"Which one of you is Young Master Meng Bufan?"

At this moment, the woman dressed in a seductive manner spoke in a sweet voice.

"It's me, beautiful lady. What's up? Want to get to know each other?"

When Meng Bufan heard that this woman had come to see him, he immediately straightened his back and his face glowed with pride.

This woman was clearly a cut above the hostesses they had ordered, both in terms of figure and looks. If he could have a romantic encounter with her, he could brag about it for a long time in front of Fang Yu and Lin Kai.

Lin Feng also looked over with some curiosity. To be honest, Meng Bufan was not bad-looking, but he was a bit thin and lacked masculinity.

Could it be that this woman really came here to get to know Meng Bufan?

"Hehe, okay, I'd like to get to know you, but you'll have to ask Young Master Wu first if he's willing to let me follow you..."

This alluring woman was none other than Lili, who had been sent by Wu Chong to find Meng Bufan.

Upon hearing Lili's words, Meng Bufan was taken aback. Then, as if realizing something, his expression changed drastically, and he asked with some suspicion, "Young Master Wu? Which Young Master Wu?"

"Whichever young master Wu it could be, it's Wu Chong, of course!"

Seeing the panic on Meng Bufan's face, the woman named Lili, who was spreading rumors, immediately felt contempt and a mocking look appeared on her face: "Young Master Wu asked me to call you over to offer a toast. He said that if you don't go, he guarantees you won't leave this bar today."

Meng Bufan's face turned deathly pale in an instant.

Fang Yu's eyes also held a hint of mockery, and even a touch of schadenfreude.

Instead, a look of worry appeared on Ding Kai's face.

"Are you going or not? Give me a straight answer! Young Master Wu is waiting for you in the private room! Or, I can have him come and invite you personally later?"

The glamorous woman named Lili chuckled and spoke again.

"I'll go right now!"

Meng Bufan looked distressed and said to Lin Feng and Li Zhiheng, "Sister...brother-in-law, cousin, please sit here for a moment. I...I have something to take care of, I'll be right back!"

"Fang Yu, don't you have some kind of relationship with Wu Chong? Why don't you go with Bu Fan and put in a good word for Wu Chong?"

Ding Kai then looked at Fang Yu.

"Isn't his brother-in-law very capable? Why not just have him go with him?"

Fang Yu was getting impatient.

Seeing this, Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Fang Yu, are we still friends?"

Ding Kai's expression turned grim, and his words became harsher.

"Alright, I'll go and put in a good word with Young Master Wu, but I can't guarantee it will work!"

As he spoke, Fang Yu stood up.

"Bufan, what happened?"

Lin Feng couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"Brother-in-law, it's really nothing, don't ask anymore, really. Just let Fang Yu come with me, I'll go have a few drinks and be right back..."

Meng Bufan's lips curled into a bitter smile as he spoke to Lin Feng, while giving Fang Yu a grateful look.

"Um!"

Lin Feng frowned and nodded. It's normal for young people to care about their image. Since Meng Bufan didn't want him to show up, he didn't ask any more questions.
