"That will be troublesome for you, Brother Chen!"
Su Yingxue said somewhat apologetically.
"It's no trouble at all," Chen Fan replied with a smile. "However, this dress looks most beautiful on you."
Su Yingxue's face flushed, and she lowered her head, clearly a little embarrassed.
Chen Fan didn't say much more, and the two soon returned to Xiangshan Tanfu.
As soon as they entered, the aroma of food wafted towards them.
Chen Fan saw Chen Xing'er sprawled on the sofa, as if she were at home.
Shi Wenyan glanced at Chen Fan with an apologetic look.
"Miss Chen, coming over for a meal again?" Chen Fan teased.
"You don't want me to?" Chen Xing'er pouted. "You're not the one cooking, I'm here for Aunt Li's culinary skills."
"I meant, is there no one inviting you out to eat?" Chen Fan retorted.
"Of course there is, but it's terribly boring," Chen Xing'er said. "Even so-called private dining doesn't compare to Aunt Li's cooking. Don't be stingy, I had Wenyan buy the ingredients, so I'm not eating for free!"
Chen Fan's face was full of black lines. Was it a question of eating for free?
He couldn't be bothered to argue. He walked directly into the bedroom and sent a picture and data of Su Yingxue's dress to Han Shuying, asking her to find a suitable model.
In less than a minute, he received a call from Han Shuying.
"Mr. Long, you just need a model?" Han Shuying asked.
"Yes," Chen Fan replied. "The main point is, besides her figure, she needs to have the aura to carry this designer piece. I want the model to be stunning at the fashion show when she wears this dress."
"Alright, I will select carefully and prepare two to three candidates," Han Shuying replied respectfully. "Do you have any other instructions? There have been quite a few new factions appearing in Hang Jiang recently. Do you need me to bring people over?"
"No need! You just handle matters over there properly."
Chen Fan hung up the phone and returned to the living room. Chen Xing'er was already chatting with Su Yingxue, their relationship harmonious, looking like best friends.
Dinner was soon ready. As soon as Chen Xing'er sat down, she ate with gusto.
As she ate, she praised Li Xiuying's cooking, making Li Xiuying overjoyed.
"Miss Chen, you can come over for a meal anytime you wish. It's not far, and it's just adding an extra pair of chopsticks," Li Xiuying said cheerfully.
"Okay, thank you, Aunt Li!"
Chen Xing'er replied vaguely with her mouth full of food.
It was evident that she truly enjoyed Li Xiuying's cooking; it wasn't an act.
The harmonious atmosphere made Wang Tingting feel a little sour. She felt that Chen Xing'er had stolen everyone's attention as soon as she arrived.
But she couldn't do anything about it and could only sulk to herself.
Not long after dinner, Chen Fan received a message and drove out.
Ten minutes later, he parked his car outside a bar.
Entering the bar, it was empty; it was not open.
In the dimness, several figures emerged.
"Our King, we finally meet you!"
A lean middle-aged man, with stubble and hair turning white, but with sharp and intelligent eyes, stepped forward and knelt on one knee, saying respectfully.
On the other side, a silver-like laugh rang out as Mei Ji walked out gracefully, saying, "My King, how was my performance today?"
"Greetings to the King of the Night!"
Behind the middle-aged man were four others, all kneeling on one knee, their faces excited, their eyes full of admiration.
"Rise!"
Chen Fan looked at them one by one and nodded, saying, "Prophet, Titan, Shadow, Magician, long time no see!"
The middle-aged man, whose hair and beard were already showing signs of age, was the Prophet, renowned for his wisdom and foresight within the Night organization.
If Chen Fan was the King of the Night, then the Prophet was the prime minister or strategist.
During Chen Fan's years of seclusion, the Prophet had maintained the operation of the Night organization.
As for Titan, Shadow, and Magician, these were all formal members of the Night organization.
Their names were code names. Only Chen Fan knew their real names and specific information.
"My King, seeing you again, I am very excited and happy. Are you going to return to darkness and make the world tremble?"
The Prophet trembled, which was caused by excitement!
It wasn't just him; the others also looked at Chen Fan with anticipation.
They were filled with reverence and expectation for this legendary man.
However, Chen Fan gently shook his head and said, "I have summoned you here this time for some personal matters that need to be handled. This mission has no reward. If you are unwilling, you can withdraw now!"
The Prophet hurriedly said, "My King, your words are the supreme will, and no one can defy them!"
A man of exceptionally tall stature, like a giant, said in a deep voice, "Whoever dares to defy the will of the Lord of the Night, Titan will make him cry!"
Mei Ji said with a smile, "Lord of Darkness, King of Eternal Night, Master of the Underworld. Even the slightest task for you is our honor!"
Chen Fan felt a little speechless.
Every formal member of the Night organization was a renowned powerhouse in the global underworld.
These people each had their quirks, but without exception, they were extremely loyal, even worshipful, towards him.
"Alright, for now, there are only two matters!" Chen Fan organized his thoughts and said seriously, "First, I need someone to protect my family and friends. Shadow, since you are here, this task is yours!"
A thin man who looked unremarkable showed a bitter expression. "Lord of the Night, you know I dislike this kind of task the most. However, I cannot refuse your assignment!"
Chen Fan nodded and continued, "The target is Su Yingxue, who lives at Villa No. 1, Xiangshan Tanfu, and works at Huancai Clothing. Specific details will be sent to the Prophet."
"Also, there is another target you need to pay attention to, named Chen Xing'er. She should be leaving Hang Jiang soon without staying too long!"
"Understood, my King!" Shadow immediately agreed.
Chen Fan then said to the Prophet, "The remaining matters are to investigate all underground forces that have come to Hang Jiang, determine if their target is me, and monitor all their activities. When the time is right, I will eliminate them one by one!"
The Prophet nodded, thoughtfully saying, "Crimson Wings, Bloody Church, both have sent people to Dahua. Are their targets you?"
"It's a setup by me for a certain item," Chen Fan said. "I will send you a picture of that item later. I want to obtain all identical items."
Titan and the others showed excited expressions.
"It seems it will be very interesting!" A gleam flashed in Mei Ji's alluring eyes.
"It's been a long time since we did anything big. We've come to the right place this time!"
The handsome blond Magician, wearing a suit and hat, said with a grin, "As expected, our King never disappoints us. Lucifer and the others didn't come. This time, we'll make them extremely envious!"
"We, the Night, have been too low-key for too long. Many in the underworld have forgotten our fearsome reputation. It's time to remind them of the suffering of the past dark reign!"
Chen Fan couldn't help but feel a bit speechless.
Some people in the organization were the type who feared no chaos and were obsessed with doing big things.
"This is within Dahua's borders. No one is allowed to harm civilians."
Chen Fan warned them in advance.
"Received, my King is from Dahua!"
Mei Ji said with a smile, "We can't cause destruction here. Our target is those from the underworld who have infiltrated."
Chen Fan merely said it as a precaution. The Night organization had established the rule of not harming innocent people from its inception.
He then spoke to the Prophet alone for a few more words. Without staying any longer, he turned and left.
He had no doubt about the abilities of the Prophet and the others.
With their arrival, this plan could be considered complete.
