“You no longer have the right to negotiate with me,” Cheng Xiaofan said, wagging his index finger and squinting his eyes with a smile.
“Meaning, if I fall into your hands, I’m doomed.”
“Alright, I won’t waste any more of your time. That’s all I have to say!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand.
Another surge of energy struck Fu Mingyan.
Fu Mingyan and Yu Jiaoying remained frozen in their poses, like statues. Apart from their eyeballs, which could move, their bodies were completely immobile.
Cheng Xiaofan seemed quite pleased with his "artwork."
He grinned proudly and said, "Not bad, really not bad!"
"This would cause a huge sensation if displayed on the street."
"Fu Mingyan, this is probably the most sensational moment of your entire life!"
As for Yu Jiaoying, Cheng Xiaofan felt not a shred of pity.
From her aura, he could tell she was no good. At such a young age, she had already done many dirty deeds.
To win the leading role, how many rivals had she trampled upon and humiliated? She had even secretly arranged for opponents to be disfigured.
Having her and Fu Mingyan appear on the street together today was truly a pairing of the strongest.
Cheng Xiaofan walked up to them and gently tapped them on their foreheads.
Two streams of spiritual energy flew out, completely erasing his memories of contact with them.
Immediately, Cheng Xiaofan waved his hand again. A surge of dragon force swept the two of them up, whisking them out the window and placing them on a conspicuous flowerbed by the roadside.
In the blink of an eye.
The passersby on the street were drawn to the peculiar "sculptures."
"Wow, when did they put up these sculptures here?"
"Oh my god, how can there be such R-rated sculptures here?"
"No, wait, these are real people. Look, the man and woman's eyes are moving!"
"Isn't that Fu Mingyan, the big shot from the capital?"
"I recognize this woman! She's the innocent actress Yu Jiaoying!"
"Amazing, are these two performing performance art?"
"Haha, I have to take pictures of them and ask netizens online what this pose is!"
Before long, Fu Mingyan and Yu Jiaoying were surrounded by onlookers, with many holding up their phones, rushing to take pictures of them.
Having had their memories erased, they had no idea how they ended up on the street.
They wanted to struggle, but their bodies wouldn't move.
They wanted to speak, but their mouths wouldn't open.
Fu Mingyan was furious.
What in the world was going on? He had come to meet his mistress, and this was what happened?
What was going on?
"You damn fools!"
"Why are you taking pictures with your phones?"
"Stop it! Don't you believe I'll smash your phones?"
"I'm calling the police to arrest every one of you and throw you in jail!"
"I am Fu Mingyan. I am someone you cannot afford to offend!"
Fu Mingyan roared inwardly, but he couldn't utter a sound!
...
At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan was already being carried by the Pothian Seat, flying over the guesthouse of the Han Country Cheng Pharmaceutical Group.
He leaped into the air and landed on the ground.
Then, he entered the guesthouse and arrived at his bedroom door.
*Knock!*
*Knock!*
*Knock!*
Cheng Xiaofan knocked on the door.
The door opened, and Park Soo-hye emerged, smiling radiantly.
"Ah, husband, you're back!" Park Soo-hye said with a dazzling smile.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled, "Yes, I said I'd be back soon."
"Were you waiting anxiously?"
Park Soo-hye chuckled, "I knew you'd come back. I wasn't anxious at all."
Cheng Xiaofan swept her up in his arms and said with a smile, "Pretty Park, let's go to the bed. I'll give you a beauty treatment!"
...
He woke up, and it was already broad daylight.
After Cheng Xiaofan and Park Soo-hye freshened up.
Park Soo-hye asked, "Shall we go to the snack street across the road for breakfast?"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled, "The snacks there are quite good. Let's go there to eat!"
They went downstairs and walked directly towards the snack street across the road.
Upon reaching the snack street, Cheng Xiaofan saw a long queue outside the xiaolongbao shop from yesterday. Everyone was waiting to eat xiaolongbao.
It seemed that the calligraphy by Lu Junxin had a significant effect.
Park Soo-hye smiled, "It looks like we can't eat xiaolongbao today."
"With such a long line, it will be almost noon by the time it's our turn."
Cheng Xiaofan laughed, "Yes, there are too many people."
"Let's go. We'll eat somewhere else!"
They walked a short distance along the snack street and found a small eatery specializing in beef rib noodles.
This eatery was also run by Chinese people.
Cheng Xiaofan said, "Let's have a bowl of beef rib noodles at this shop!"
Park Soo-hye smiled, "Okay, I haven't had beef rib noodles in a long time!"
They entered the shop. Park Soo-hye said to the owner, "Two large bowls of beef rib noodles, and two bowls of soy milk, please!"
The owner was a middle-aged woman, fair-skinned and plump, with a kind smile.
The middle-aged woman said, "Okay, please have a seat. We'll bring it to you shortly."
Cheng Xiaofan looked at the middle-aged woman and found her somewhat familiar. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Boss, did you used to sell beef rib noodles outside a university in Beijing, China?"
The middle-aged woman paused, looking at Cheng Xiaofan, "Ah, you know me?"
"I did sell beef rib noodles there!"
Cheng Xiaofan burst out laughing, "Then I should call you Auntie Xiang!"
"I studied at a university there for a few years and had the good fortune to eat your beef rib noodles twice!"
Auntie Xiang listened, and her eyes lit up with surprise, "Oh my, I can't believe I've met someone familiar here. Back then, all the students called me Auntie Xiang!"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled, "It's because your beef rib noodles were so delicious that everyone called you Auntie Xiang."
"Auntie Xiang, why are you doing business here in Han Country?"
Auntie Xiang brought over the two bowls of beef rib noodles, which she had just prepared, and said with a smile, "Young man, my daughter is studying abroad here, so I came with her."
"I rented a shop here and wanted to earn some money to help with her tuition fees."
Cheng Xiaofan smiled, "How is your business here?"
Auntie Xiang smiled, "Business is average. Not bad, not good. It's enough to get by."
"The main reason is that there are too many snack shops here, and the competition is fierce!"
"Oh, young man, I think I saw you on the news last night... Ah, I remember now! You are His Esteemed Lord Cheng Xiaofan?"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled, "Yes, I am Cheng Xiaofan!"
