As they were talking, Lu Fan arrived at their table with a glass of wine.
Looking at the figure before them, they quickly got up: "Mr. Lu, why have you come?"
"Naturally, to return the toast," Lu Fan said with a light laugh. "Since you two went to toast, how could I not reciprocate!"
"Mr. Lu's status is noble; how dare we let Mr. Lu return our toast," Boss Qian said quickly.
"So, you already know my identity?" Lu Fan slowly sat down, instantly exuding a powerful aura.
Shen Guofeng and Boss Qian trembled violently, their expressions changing drastically. They hurriedly bowed: "We were only guessing and did not dare to confirm it. Otherwise, we would not have been so reckless."
"Your guess is correct. I am Lord Lu of Jiangnan," Lu Fan said indifferently, slowly drinking the wine in his cup.
"We pay our respects to Lord Lu. We are truly deserving of death for not knowing of your visit to Chuzhou!" Boss Qian quickly clasped his fists, trembling with fear.
Lu Fan had clearly seen him kill a Grandmaster with a flick of his finger by the lake in Qingzhou, Jiangnan. If he offended Lu Fan, he would have no chance of survival.
Seeing this, Shen Guofeng couldn't utter a word, his heart filled with bitterness. He had come out for a meal only to encounter such a powerful figure. Wasn't this going to be the death of him?
"You don't need to be so frightened," Lu Fan waved his hand. "I've only come to remind you that I don't want anyone to know my identity. I hope you can keep it a secret, as I am a very low-key person!"
"We absolutely dare not reveal a single word!" Boss Qian raised his hand and said, "If I violate this oath, may lightning strike me."
"There's no need for oaths!" Lu Fan shrugged. "Just a slight reminder."
After saying that, Lu Fan got up and walked forward.
Shen Xiaoxiao watched the scene with some suspicion: "What's wrong with my dad and him? Why are they bowing and scraping like that? I've never seen them like this before!"
"Perhaps they've had too much to drink!" Han Yunhai said with a light laugh. "When people are drunk, they are like this; they're not clear-headed and don't know what they're doing."
"I think so too!" Shen Xiaoxiao nodded. "She's always like this when she gets drunk. I'll have to help her back later!"
After Lu Fan left, Shen Guofeng and Boss Qian breathed a sigh of relief, their hearts filled with mixed emotions. Perhaps this was strength, something that could make one unable to breathe easily.
"Brother Qian, I'm truly indebted to you today; otherwise, I would have been in trouble," Shen Guofeng said gratefully. "You are the benefactor of my Shen family."
"Please don't say that!" Boss Qian shook his head. "I will still need to rely on Brother Shen in the future, as Shen Xiaoxiao has a close relationship with Lord Lu. The Shen family will surely prosper in the future."
"Let's hope so!" Shen Guofeng nodded slightly, still greatly shaken. He knew very well that this matter was not trivial.
Returning to the table, Lu Fan smiled: "We've almost finished eating. Shouldn't we be going?"
"Mr. Lu, what were you talking about with my dad and the others just now?" Shen Xiaoxiao asked. "They looked so serious; this is the first time I've seen it."
"We talked about some interesting things," Lu Fan said indifferently. "So we chatted for a while longer."
"It's getting late, so we'll be heading back now," Han Yunhai smiled. "We'll meet at Jiangjing Bieyuan tomorrow to head to Niutou Mountain."
"Jiangjing Bieyuan?"
Shen Xiaoxiao was a little surprised. "That's not an ordinary place. Are you staying there?"
"That's right, we are staying there!" Lu Fan nodded. "A friend of mine owns a house in Jiangjing Bieyuan, so we moved in directly!"
"So that's how it is!" Shen Xiaoxiao nodded. "Then this friend of yours must be very powerful. I've heard that those who can live in Jiangjing Bieyuan are not ordinary people!"
"I suppose so!" Lu Fan nodded and smiled. "Actually, I don't know much about him!"
Shen Xiaoxiao didn't ask further. After bidding farewell to everyone, she packed her belongings. However, at that moment, Shen Guofeng walked over: "Xiaoxiao, tell your dad honestly, how did you meet Mr. Lu?"
"Didn't I tell you before? I was almost kidnapped on the bus, and Mr. Lu saved me," Shen Xiaoxiao said directly. "Dad, what's wrong with you? Why are you so strange today?"
"I'm just curious!" Shen Guofeng gave her a sideways glance. "What do you think of Mr. Lu?"
"Mr. Lu is righteous and a good friend," Shen Xiaoxiao said directly. "Dad, why are you suddenly saying this? Did something happen?"
"No, no!" Boss Qian quickly said. "We're just asking out of curiosity. After all, Mr. Lu is a good person, and we can feel it."
"Of course. Would the friends I make be bad?"
Shen Xiaoxiao nodded. "However, you guys are quite strange today!"
"Nothing strange, we're just asking out of curiosity," Boss Qian smiled. "Mr. Lu is a good person, Xiaoxiao, don't miss the opportunity. After all, the opportunity is rare."
After saying that, Boss Qian turned and left. He dared not reveal Lu Fan's identity, so he could only remind her secretly.
Shen Xiaoxiao was somewhat helpless, but she didn't understand the meaning behind his words.
"Xiaoxiao, this Mr. Lu is also not an ordinary person. He looks like he is very rich and noble," Shen Guofeng said. "Even if you can't become close to him, you must not offend him easily, lest you bring trouble to the Shen family."
"What are you talking about!" Shen Xiaoxiao looked innocent. "Mr. Lu and I are just ordinary friends. Such a good person like Mr. Lu would not be an enemy of our Shen family, Dad. Are you worrying too much!" Su Dan Novel Network
"I'm just giving you a reminder!" Shen Guofeng said directly. "In any case, you must remember what I told you today!"
"I know, I know!" Shen Xiaoxiao said impatiently. "We still have to go to Niutou Mountain tomorrow!"
"Bring all the Shen family's bodyguards," Shen Guofeng said quickly. "Listen to Mr. Lu on the way!"
"Mr. Lu said he doesn't need them!" Shen Xiaoxiao said with a white glance. "It's a pity he probably doesn't know the dangers of Niutou Mountain. If something happens, who knows if we can come back!"
"Don't worry, go ahead! If Mr. Lu doesn't want them, then don't," Shen Guofeng said solemnly.
Shen Xiaoxiao was confused. Was this still the same father who doted on her? Knowing that Niutou Mountain was extremely dangerous, he was encouraging her to sneak in alone with Lu Fan. She even suspected that Shen Guofeng disliked her and wanted her to die in Niutou Mountain.
However, this was just Shen Xiaoxiao's wild thoughts, and she didn't take it too seriously. She knew that Shen Guofeng was her most beloved father.
