Chapter 16

Gu Fan's eyes sparkled as he quickly sized up the mature beauty in front of him. She wore black pencil pants paired with a white blouse, and a black blazer with a wide lapel that perfectly accentuated her prominent bust, giving the impression that the buttons on her blouse might burst at any moment.

"Hmph!" Chen Jiaxin huffed, displeased with Gu Fan's almost dazed expression, and even more so with the woman's prominent figure.

Chen Jiaxin subconsciously glanced at her own assets, constantly reassuring herself that she was still underage and hadn't reached her full potential yet.

"Sir, Miss, I am the manager here. My name is Cheng Shumei. Is there anything I can assist you with?" Cheng Shumei said, winking at Gu Fan.

Gu Fan, as if struck by an electric current, quickly stopped looking at Cheng Shumei.

Strange, do all women have this electric charm? This Cheng Shumei seems a bit too forward.

"Manager Cheng, it's like this. I need you to isolate the two people in this photo and create a clear image of them. At the same time, I need you to extrapolate what they would look like seventeen years later," Chen Jiaxin asked, "Can you do it?"

"Miss, this isn't a big deal. Many places can meet your requirements these days!" Cheng Shumei was reproaching Chen Jiaxin for calling her over for such a small matter.

"I'll pay ten times the price if you satisfy me!" Chen Jiaxin said coolly, money really does give one the freedom to be capricious.

Gu Fan's eyes widened. Ten times the price, this girl, how can she be so extravagant?

"We'll take this job. Follow me!" Cheng Shumei said decisively.

Chen Jiaxin winked at Gu Fan, as if to say, this is the power of money.

Gu Fan shrugged, but he had to admit, money is indeed very important, to everyone.

In this life, You Yuan is really professional. Their technicians are very skilled in handling photos.

After Chen Jiaxin stated her requirements and provided a current photo of Chen Wanqing for comparison, Cheng Shumei directly told her to come back the next day to pick up the photos.

And after Chen Jiaxin generously paid half the deposit upfront, Cheng Shumei personally escorted the two to the door, providing extremely attentive and热情的服务.

Even if the price was ten times higher, this job still amounted to less than 5,000 yuan. Was it really necessary for the manager of such a large wedding dress store to be so enthusiastic?

Moreover, Gu Fan always felt that Cheng Shumei seemed very interested in him. This made Gu Fan even more puzzled.

Although Gu Fan knew he was very charming, he didn't think he could instantly attract a mature beauty to such an extent!

With this doubt, as he was about to leave, Gu Fan slightly turned his head to look at Cheng Shumei again.

Cheng Shumei was still standing at the door, staring at Gu Fan. When she saw Gu Fan looking back, she smiled slightly. This smile had an indescribable allure!

But this time, Gu Fan didn't let his mind wander. His eyes narrowed slightly, then he turned naturally and left with Chen Jiaxin.

A storm raged in Gu Fan's heart. This Cheng Shumei was not ordinary. Gu Fan sensed a faint energy fluctuation from her.

An ancient martial artist? A psychic? Or a cultivator?

Gu Fan had no answer now.

"It seems I can't underestimate others. I didn't notice her before. Was she hiding too well, or was I too careless?" Gu Fan thought to himself, also warning himself.

"Hey, snap out of it. Wasn't that beauty very attractive?" Chen Jiaxin's small hand waved in front of Gu Fan, her face showing displeasure.

"Indeed!" Gu Fan said, savoring the moment.

"Hmph! Then go find her. I can see she's interested in you. She's definitely a woman who can be had by anyone. I didn't expect your taste to be so low!" Chen Jiaxin said coldly.

"Why do I feel like you're jealous? Are you falling for me?" Gu Fan winked and said.

Chen Jiaxin was so angry she shouted, "Falling for you? Don't dream on it. You're too full of yourself!"

"The better, the better. You're not my type. Someone like Manager Cheng is more my style, mature! You're still too green!" Gu Fan looked Chen Jiaxin up and down, saying insincerely.

"Gu Fan, you're a big jerk!" Chen Jiaxin stomped her feet in anger.

---

This was Gu Fan's first time at an arcade.

The various machines here broadened Gu Fan's horizons.

In the vast space of several hundred square meters, machines were neatly or haphazardly arranged, and the dynamic music mixed together, making one want to move their body to the rhythm.

Gu Fan didn't like such an environment; it was too noisy. He preferred quiet and was used to it.

But Chen Jiaxin was clearly different. She came here like a sprite that had just flown out of a cage, her face beaming with joy.

"Do you know, I've always wanted to come here to play! But Mom didn't allow it..." Chen Jiaxin shouted to Gu Fan, afraid he wouldn't hear her in this environment.

"I don't like it here!" Gu Fan didn't hide his preferences.

"Play one game with me!" Chen Jiaxin made a face, not giving Gu Fan a chance to refuse, and quickly went to buy tokens.

Gu Fan shook his head slightly. Fine, just this once. She's actually quite pitiful, disguising herself like that. Disguise is a form of suppression. This suppression has been accumulating for a long time. Now, having a way to release it is a good thing.

"Yay, I won!"

"Didn't you say you've never played before?" Gu Fan was frustrated, he kept losing.

"Did I say that? I just said Mom didn't allow it." Chen Jiaxin smiled slyly and shouted, "Let's play another round!"

Gu Fan was speechless. Does winning me make her so excited? Does she really think I'm a rookie?

"You lost!" After three rounds, Gu Fan smiled at Chen Jiaxin, who looked不服气.

"Let's go again, this time it was just your luck!" Chen Jiaxin gritted her teeth.

Gu Fan shrugged. Then, in every subsequent round, Chen Jiaxin lost!

"What are you looking at? I really haven't played before, but who can resist my strong learning ability? I can get the hang of these games in just a few rounds!" Gu Fan said coolly.

"Must you act so smug?" Chen Jiaxin's eyes twinkled, and she pulled Gu Fan away, saying, "Let's play something else!"

"You'll lose no matter what we play!" Gu Fan still said coolly.

"Really?" Chen Jiaxin smiled.

Then, Gu Fan had a bit of a tragedy.

Because Chen Jiaxin only played one round of any game!

Gu Fan hadn't played these games before and didn't have time to learn them. Even with his strong learning ability, he lost without a doubt in the first round.

Gu Fan was confident that in the second round, Chen Jiaxin wouldn't win so easily.

But unfortunately, Chen Jiaxin didn't give Gu Fan that chance.

"You're cheating!"

"You're just not good!" Chen Jiaxin stuck out her tongue and moved on to the next game.

"I need to take a call!" As they were playing, Gu Fan's phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID, greeted Chen Jiaxin, and walked out. He wasn't worried about hearing the call clearly, but he was concerned that the other party wouldn't hear him clearly.

"Ha ha ha!" Watching Gu Fan's back, Chen Jiaxin laughed loudly. To her, Gu Fan was "escaping" like "going to the bathroom."

"Hello, Mr. Gu?" The call was from Wang Chenglong.

"Mr. Wang, it's me. Is the old man awake?" Gu Fan asked.

"Yes, the old man is awake. I called you as soon as I could!" Wang Chenglong's voice was filled with joy.

"Okay, give me the hospital address. I'll come by this afternoon!" Gu Fan was thinking about the jade piece on the old man. Although he hadn't seen it yet, he could sense its aura. Gu Fan was certain that the old man had the jade piece.

"Sure, I'll send the address to your phone!" Wang Chenglong quickly agreed.

The old man's awakening further proved Gu Fan's medical skills. Wang Chenglong was eagerly looking forward to Gu Fan's visit. As long as Gu Fan came, he would do anything to get him to help again.

"How is it?" Seeing Wang Chenglong hang up, Wang Yuxian quickly asked.

"He's coming this afternoon!" Wang Chenglong said.

"Great! Brother, you must make sure he examines Grandpa well! He's a miracle doctor!" Wang Yuxian said happily.

In the past, Wang Yuxian would never have believed that someone younger than her could have such advanced medical skills.

But now, with the facts in front of her, Wang Yuxian had no choice but to believe.

"Okay, I know. Don't worry." Wang Chenglong asked, "Are the test results out yet?"

"Not yet, Uncle Lin is still checking!" Wang Yuxian said.

"Go see him and thank him for me. I'll make the arrangements. He's coming this afternoon!" Wang Chenglong sent Wang Yuxian away.

After Wang Yuxian entered the ward, Wang Chenglong moved to a different spot and made another call.

"It's me! How's the investigation going?"

"Mr. Wang, we haven't found any leads yet!"

"How long has it been? No leads at all? I'll give you more time, but if you don't give me valuable information by tonight, you'll have to deal with the consequences!" Wang Chenglong shouted angrily and hung up.

"A bunch of good-for-nothings!" Wang Chenglong punched the wall.

Since hearing Gu Fan's hint, Wang Chenglong had immediately arranged for an investigation. He absolutely would not allow anyone to harm his grandfather.

But now, after a whole day, there were still no leads. This made Wang Chenglong feel both incredulous and even more angry, with a sense of suppressed emotion that couldn't be released.

"Who among you did this? But no matter who it is, once I find you, don't blame me for being ruthless and cutting ties with my own family!" Wang Chenglong's face was dark, and a hint of pain flashed in his eyes.

The trouble comes from within! The slaughter among family members. Wang Chenglong felt his heart wrench!
