"Hi, Uncle Zhao, I really appreciate your trouble, and even coming to deliver the invitation in person." Chu Nan had the three brothers wait not far away, as Uncle Zhao's status required that he not easily show himself for safety reasons.

"It's no problem, it's my duty, Little Chu. Remember, this time you must ensure Miss's safety. Recently, we've noticed some suspicious people always appearing around Jinghua University. The risk tonight is very high. If you find yourself in a situation you can't handle, be sure to contact me promptly." As he spoke, Uncle Zhao took out an iPhone 5 and handed it to Chu Nan.

"This phone is yours from now on. I will contact you through this number. I've already saved my number, the old man's number, Miss's number, and the number of the Xia family's daughter. — Also, I had Liu Sanfeng investigate. His family are ordinary Beijing businessmen. Including movable and immovable assets, they are worth about ten million. Not much to speak of. As for the Hanliu Hall... due to the unclear positioning and lack of clues, there's no progress yet, but I will continue to help you investigate."

Chu Nan had expected as much and simply nodded. Then he picked up the phone and exclaimed, "Wow, a 5-inch big screen phone!"

Since it was given to him, he might as well take it. Recently, Chu Nan had been fond of playing with Jiao Chun's iPhone, playing games and watching movies.

"Did you install any games on it? 'I Am MT,' do you have it?" Chu Nan asked.

Uncle Zhao was taken aback: "What kind of kick?"

"Forget it, I guess you're too old to understand! Did you install a quick download app?"

"What kind of quick thing?" To Chu Nan's surprise, Uncle Zhao suddenly blushed and then said, "I don't know what you're talking about. Cough, cough, in any case, be careful tonight!" With that, he turned and left.

Chu Nan watched Uncle Zhao's back, stunned for a moment... It's just a phone download app, what's there to be shy about? At his age, he's so girlish!

As time passed.

It was already eight o'clock.

And Li Mengru had already walked into the Fengtian International Hotel with several classmates.

Today, Li Mengru was clearly not dressed up too much, just wearing a simple dress, but even so, she couldn't hide her dazzling beauty!

Chu Nan, who had been waiting at the entrance, saw Li Mengru come and snapped his fingers: "Guys, it's about time, let's go in."

The four of them walked into the hotel.

"Old Four, why did we wait outside for so long?" Liu Zheng asked in surprise.

At this moment, Jiao Chun said, "Older Brother, how can you be so dense? Didn't you see our school beauty, Li Mengru, come in? I think Old Four has a crush on her!"

"Wow, really?" Liu Zheng was suddenly taken aback and then realized, "Old Four, didn't I tell you before that Li Mengru's family background isn't as simple as it seems?"

"Ha ha, Older Brother, don't stop Old Four... Don't you notice that Old Four's appetite is different from others? A school beauty like Li Mengru, who we can't easily approach, only someone with Old Four's appetite would dare to go after her!" Jiao Chun winked at Chu Nan, with a meaningful look.

Liu Zheng nodded: "Yes, Old Four has a big appetite, he can drink three to four pounds of alcohol, and ordinary girls can't satisfy him!"

Chu Nan smiled helplessly: "Guys, can you not be so imaginative? I brought you here to meet girls, can you at least act a bit more gentlemanly and not so lewd?"

At this moment, Wang Ziqiang, who had been silent, suddenly said, "I think Old Four is right, look around..."

Everyone looked around, including the reception desk and some guests sitting in the hall drinking tea and reading newspapers. They all looked at Chu Nan and his group with disdain and contempt, clearly feeling that being in the same place as these silly college students was an insult.

Seeing these looks, Liu Zheng snorted, "Snobbish."

Jiao Chun laughed, "Ha ha, Older Brother, don't mind these looks. Some people are just like that, full of themselves. Ignore them! — Old Four, let's go up."

Chu Nan nodded, and the four of them quickly entered the elevator.

In theory, as a qualified bodyguard, Chu Nan should have closely followed Li Mengru, even in the elevator. But after looking at Li Mengru's face, he knew that nothing would happen to her in the next month!

Speaking of face reading...

As Chu Nan and his group were in the elevator, it stopped on the fifth floor.

Two people then walked in.

A middle-aged man who looked like a big boss, around forty to fifty years old, and a woman who looked like an assistant secretary, around thirty years old, walked in.

The woman was quite beautiful, though in her thirties, she had a very curvy figure and a seductive look in her eyes, clearly not an easy person to deal with. The middle-aged man beside her looked kind, but his facial features had changed due to his weight gain, which was a sign of potential romantic troubles.

Moreover, there was a slight hint of misfortune on his forehead...

"This uncle... is he going to have romantic troubles?" Chu Nan felt a bit familiar with this man, perhaps due to some connection, so he stepped forward and lightly patted the middle-aged man.

"Hey, Uncle, I have something to say to you. Can I speak to you for a moment?"

"Huh???"

Chu Nan's action not only surprised the middle-aged man but also drew the attention and confusion of the woman beside him and the three brothers behind him.

The middle-aged man turned around and looked at Chu Nan with surprise, a kind man who didn't show the obvious disdain and contempt that other big bosses might have, just simple surprise.

"Excuse me, sir, our General Manager Ye is very busy and doesn't have time to speak to you." Before the middle-aged man could respond, the seductive-looking assistant secretary coldly said to Chu Nan.

"Uncle, please wait a moment." Chu Nan said, immediately taking out paper and pen from his always-carrying cloth bag, quickly writing a few lines, folding it, and handing it to the middle-aged man.

"Uncle, only read this when you are alone, don't let anyone else see it."
