The innocent words, which were meant to be playful, instantly turned the warm atmosphere into an awkward one.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Cui Jie wiped her tears, her face flushed as she chided him.
Then, lowering her head, she shyly glanced at Da Xiong, who was standing at the door. "Brother Xiong, the child is speaking without thinking. Please don't mind her." Da Feng Novel Network
Da Xiong quickly waved his hands, appearing a bit nervous. "No, no, it's fine, it's fine."
Chen Fan and Qin Shuran exchanged a look upon witnessing this scene.
With Xiao Ling'er found, everyone was naturally relieved, and Chen Fan and Qin Shuran did not linger.
After leaving the KTV, Chen Fan also received a notification from the bank.
A total of 1.12 billion yuan had been transferred into Chen Fan's bank account.
Looking at the amount displayed on his phone's message, Chen Fan felt a sense of helplessness. The money was barely in his possession before he had to transfer it out.
Getting into the car, Chen Fan took out his phone to transfer the money to the company's corporate account.
However, to Chen Fan's surprise, his regular bank card had a daily transfer limit of only fifty thousand yuan.
Glancing at the time, it was already eight in the evening, and the banks had long been closed.
He had no choice but to send a text message to Sun Xiao, informing him that he would go to the bank to transfer the money tomorrow morning.
Afterward, Chen Fan and Qin Shuran drove home to rest.
On the way, Qin Shuran looked at Chen Fan, who was driving, and asked, "Do you think Sister Cui and Da Xiong are a good match?"
Chen Fan looked surprised and retorted, "Why are you suddenly asking this?"
Qin Shuran replied, "Because I'm a woman, and I can tell that Sister Cui seems to have a good impression of Da Xiong. Especially when she threw herself into his arms in that courtyard, it felt like she had found her support."
"And didn't you notice that Xiao Ling'er also feels very good about Da Xiong? When she was bullied at school, she came to find Da Xiong and even wanted Da Xiong to be her father."
Chen Fan smiled faintly. "Children speak without thinking. Didn't Xiao Ling'er also ask me if I could be her father before?"
Qin Shuran countered, "That's different. Xiao Ling'er likes you, but it's different with Da Xiong. That's also a form of dependence. Otherwise, why wouldn't Xiao Ling'er come to you at the hospital, but instead travel so far to the KTV to find Da Xiong?"
Chen Fan was rendered speechless by her words.
Qin Shuran smiled triumphantly. "I think they are quite suitable. Sister Cui is beautiful, and Xiao Ling'er is well-behaved. If Da Xiong can come out of his past shadow, they should be very happy together."
Chen Fan nodded helplessly, remaining silent.
Because Chen Fan knew how devastating Yang Cuifen's death had been to Da Xiong.
Da Xiong had even been willing to risk his own life to participate in that arena.
Qin Shuran was unaware of these matters, so Chen Fan knew how difficult it would be for Da Xiong to emerge from his shadow.
Upon returning home, the two had a simple dinner and watched some television.
Almost all the television stations were reporting on the dismantling of a major human trafficking ring in Jiangcheng City that day.
In the footage, Er Gou appeared, with a look of righteous indignation.
He spoke of how he had noticed something amiss and sent his men to track them, then personally dismantled the criminal den, attributing it all to his keen insight and vowing to seek justice for families who had lost their children. He was practically praising himself to the heavens.
Watching this, Chen Fan and Qin Shuran, sitting on the sofa, couldn't help but laugh.
Then, the camera panned to the three criminals being taken into custody.
When they saw the miserable state of the three individuals, even the television reporter couldn't help but twitch their eyelids, sighing, "My goodness, they look so pathetic!"
Seeing the慘状 of these three people, Qin Shuran couldn't help but laugh again.
It was because the three of them were too unlucky. For a baseless accusation, they were not only beaten to this state but also arrested. It was probably the most miserable situation anyone could be in.
However, Chen Fan and Qin Shuran naturally felt no pity for them.
Because they both understood the pain of growing up without parents, and such human traffickers deserved severe punishment.
The next morning, Chen Fan woke up to cook.
After breakfast, the two drove to the hospital.
After Chen Fan finished his rounds and confirmed that the patients had no other issues, he drove to the bank again, intending to transfer ten billion yuan to the company's corporate account.
It was already half-past ten in the morning when they arrived at the bank.
At this time, there were many people conducting business at the bank, but the VIP counter next to it had no one.
Chen Fan thought to himself that with over a billion yuan in his account, he should be considered a VIP of the bank, and he walked towards the VIP counter.
A lobby customer manager saw Chen Fan heading towards the VIP counter and quickly stepped forward to stop him.
"Sir, I'm sorry, this is the VIP counter. If you need to conduct business, you can do so at the regular counter."
Although the customer manager spoke politely, Chen Fan clearly saw the hint of disdain in her eyes.
Chen Fan frowned slightly and asked, "What are your bank's VIP eligibility requirements?"
The customer manager replied, "Sir, our Gold Card requires a balance of 200,000 yuan, Platinum Card is 500,000, Diamond Card is 1 million, and Black Card is 5 million. As for our Private Banking card, it requires a balance of 10 million."
"Sir, we are a high-end service center, and we start with Platinum Card users. Therefore, please return to the regular counter to conduct your business. Of course, if you are a Gold Card member, you can get priority service at the regular counter."
The customer manager's voice was quite loud, and many people in the bank looked towards Chen Fan.
At this moment, a middle-aged man carrying a black leather bag walked over.
The middle-aged man had a platinum bank card between his fingers. He held his head high, his face full of arrogance. He glanced at Chen Fan with a mocking expression, especially at Chen Fan's extremely ordinary, even slightly yellowish, white shirt. He sneered, "Oh, your commercial bank's membership standards are too low. Can anyone come to the VIP counter to conduct business now?"
Seeing the bank card in the middle-aged man's hand, the customer manager's face immediately lit up with a smile. "Sir, you've misunderstood. This gentleman is a regular customer who has come to the wrong place."
The middle-aged man looked at Chen Fan mockingly and spoke to him in a condescending tone, "Young man, when you're a person, you need to know your place. This is not a place for ordinary customers like you. Work hard, and maybe after many years, you'll be able to conduct business here."
"I think I can conduct business here right now," Chen Fan replied calmly.
"Hahaha!"
The middle-aged man burst into laughter and looked at Chen Fan with contempt.
