Chen Feng asked, “Mr. Li, didn’t you say you had a way just now?”

“Just wait a little longer,” Li Qianfan said with a smile.

About three or four minutes later, a convoy of black cars approached from a distance.

Leading the way was a black Mercedes, followed by a fleet of Passats.

This convoy consisted of more than ten vehicles, and as they reached the square, they all stopped. Immediately, one by one, fierce-looking thugs in suits jumped out of the cars.

Seeing these dozens of thugs in suits, everyone on the scene turned pale with fear.

“It’s… it’s the Blood Teeth Association people!”

“What are the Blood Teeth Association people doing here? Are they looking for trouble?”

“This is bad!”

The people in the square were buzzing with discussion, while the leader of the Blood Teeth Association, Zhao Fengmao, was already approaching with over forty suited henchmen.

Upon arrival, Zhao Fengmao rudely shouted, “Clear the way! If anyone doesn’t see, I will deal with them!”

The fans in the square hurriedly made way for them, and the media reporters also quickly cleared the path.

Zhao Fengmao approached with his suited henchmen and politely said, “Hello, Mr. Li. Do you have any orders?”

At that moment, Lin Jingying, Chen Feng, and the others all looked at Li Qianfan.

Li Qianfan calmly said, “I called you to clear the way for us.”

“I see,” Zhao Fengmao suddenly understood.

The reason Zhao Fengmao brought so many thugs in suits was because Li Qianfan had sent him a message as soon as he left the theater.

Although Li Qianfan and Zhao Fengmao were not very close, and there had been some minor friction before,

knowing that Li Qianfan had an extraordinary identity—so much so that even the chief of police in Dadong City was very respectful to him—Zhao Fengmao wouldn’t dare refuse Li Qianfan’s request. After all, this was a good opportunity to foster a relationship.

However, Lin Jingying and Chen Feng didn’t know about the relationship between Li Qianfan and Zhao Fengmao, so they were extremely shocked now and wildly speculated about Li Qianfan’s identity!

“We can leave now. Please, Miss Lin,” Li Qianfan said with a smile.

Lin Jingying took a deep breath to suppress the excitement and joy in her heart before quickly leaving along the path, with Chen Feng and others following closely.

Li Qianfan walked alongside Lin Jingying, while Zhao Fengmao and others followed, escorting them in two lines.

“How could you get Zhao Fengmao, the leader of the Blood Teeth Association, to work for you, Li Xiang? How did you manage that?” Lin Jingying whispered curiously.

“Don’t ask so many questions. This isn’t something you need to know,” Li Qianfan said, with a cryptic expression.

Lin Jingying didn’t ask anymore, but she couldn’t take her eyes off Li Qianfan.

Once they left the square in front of the theater, Li Qianfan gestured to Zhao Fengmao and his men that they didn’t need to follow anymore.

After all, there were no more crazy fans here, so Li Qianfan and Lin Jingying didn’t need them to escort them.

“Shall we go back to the hotel now?” Li Qianfan asked.

“Let’s grab some dinner first, then head back,” Lin Jingying suggested.

“Sure.”

Li Qianfan nodded.

Before long, Li Qianfan, Lin Jingying, Chen Feng, and others arrived at a luxury restaurant not far from their hotel.

Chen Feng and the bodyguards sat at two tables, while Li Qianfan and Lin Jingying shared a table.

“Order whatever you like; it’s on me,” Lin Jingying said with a smile.

“Thank you, Miss Lin.”

“Miss Lin is so generous,” Chen Feng and others flattered.

Li Qianfan ordered himself some braised pork and mapo tofu, enjoying them with rice.

Lin Jingying only ordered a small portion of mushroom vermicelli soup for herself.

Watching Lin Jingying eat daintily, Li Qianfan wiped his mouth and asked, “Are you eating so little? Are you full?”

“Not really, but I can’t help it; I have to manage my figure,” Lin Jingying said with a wry smile.

“You’ve been singing and dancing today, rehearsing for so long. You’ve burned a lot of calories, so it’s fine to eat a bit more,” Li Qianfan reminded her.

“I have to lose more weight since I have a concert coming up soon,” Lin Jingying said.

“That’s really tough,” Li Qianfan said.

They say ten minutes on stage is ten years of work off stage. Seeing Lin Jingying’s self-sacrifice moved Li Qianfan.

It seems being a star isn’t as easy as it looks.

Half an hour flew by, and after the meal, Li Qianfan and the others walked back to their hotel.

Chen Feng and the bodyguards joked and chatted, creating a pleasant atmosphere.

But Lin Jingying had a look of wanting to ask something but feeling too shy, her beautiful eyes fixed on Li Qianfan.

Li Qianfan felt a bit awkward under Lin Jingying’s gaze.

“If you want to say something, just…”

Li Qianfan was only halfway through speaking when a luxury car suddenly raced over from a distance, screeched to a halt in front of them, blocking their path.

The car door opened, and a young man with a ponytail jumped out, looking at Lin Jingying with a sinister smile, “Lin Jingying, I’ve finally found you.”

“Jiang Chen, it’s you!”

Lin Jingying’s face changed, but seeing Li Qianfan beside her, she quickly calmed down.

“Who is this guy?” Li Qianfan asked.

Lin Jingying whispered, “Li Xiang, this Jiang Chen is one of Zhao Changsheng, Dahai City’s wealthiest man’s men and one of his three trusted aides! He’s very likely a cultivator!”

“A cultivator?”

Li Qianfan said, showing a meaningful expression.

Jiang Chen didn’t even glance at Li Qianfan, focusing only on Lin Jingying, “Miss Lin, will you willingly come with me to see Boss Zhao, or do I have to beat you up and take you to see him? It’s your choice.”

“I’ll choose a third option,” Lin Jingying said.

“Sorry, there is no third option,” Jiang Chen shook his head.

“She does,” Li Qianfan said.

Jiang Chen sneered at Li Qianfan, “Who do you think you are? This isn’t your business.”

“I’m not a thing, does that make you a thing then?” Li Qianfan mocked.

“Kid, this matter has nothing to do with you. I advise you not to…”

Jiang Chen’s words were interrupted by Li Qianfan, “I’m Ms. Lin’s bodyguard now. Her business is my business. If you want to take her away, you’ll have to get past me first!”

“Damn, you’re really asking for it!”

With that, Jiang Chen was about to make a move, but Chen Feng and the others rushed forward first.

Jiang Chen swiftly moved like the wind, flashing past Chen Feng and the others, and in the blink of an eye, knocked them all to the ground!
