As they spoke, the car had already arrived at the entrance of Zhang Heng's yard.
Hearing the brakes outside the courtyard gate, the little master's wife rushed out. Her eyes immediately fell on Cheng Xiaofan as he emerged from the car. With a beaming smile, she said, "Xiaofan, you're back! Your teacher has been waiting for you to come back and have a few drinks with him!"
Her gaze then landed on Wu Shengnan, who was sitting in the driver's seat. She chuckled, "Xiao Wu, Old Zhang knew you were bringing Xiao Fan over. He's invited you to stay and eat here too."
Wu Shengnan emerged from the car, smiling, "Madam, it would be too much trouble for me to stay and eat here!"
The little master's wife immediately glared at her, "Xiao Wu, you're being too formal! You've eaten here before, haven't you!"
Wu Shengnan quickly replied, "Alright, Madam, then I won't stand on ceremony!"
They entered the house.
Zhang Heng was already seated at the table.
He glanced at Cheng Xiaofan and the other person, then said with a grin, "Xiaofan, where did you go this afternoon with the beauty from our special police team?"
Cheng Xiaofan immediately said, "Teacher, don't let your imagination run wild. Miss Wu has a hidden ailment, and I saw she was in great pain. Out of a doctor's compassion, I found a place to treat her."
Zhang Heng looked at Wu Shengnan and asked, "Xiao Wu, is it cured?"
Wu Shengnan immediately nodded and said, "It's cured. I truly have to admire Mr. Cheng's medical skills, they are extraordinary!"
Zhang Heng laughed, "Of course, our Xiao Fan is capable of anything!"
The little master's wife smiled, "You two chat, I'll go to the kitchen and heat up the dishes, then serve them!"
"Madam, I'll help you serve the dishes!"
Wu Shengnan immediately followed the little master's wife to the kitchen.
While Wu Shengnan was out of earshot, Zhang Heng sighed and said, "Xiaofan, Xiao Wu is a very good girl, but you should try to keep a certain distance from her!"
Cheng Xiaofan asked, "Why?"
Zhang Heng explained, "As far as I know, Wu Shengnan has caught the eye of Ouyang Yu, nicknamed the 'Little Overlord of the Capital,' who is insisting on marrying her. But Wu Shengnan doesn't fancy him at all, and their relationship is very strained."
"I wanted to intervene on Wu Shengnan's behalf, but Ouyang Yu's father is someone we can't afford to offend, so I had no choice but to give up."
"If you get too close to Wu Shengnan and Ouyang Yu finds out, it will be trouble!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan sneered and said, "To be honest, Teacher, when I was treating Wu Shengnan this afternoon, I was already being pursued by people sent by Ouyang Yu!"
Zhang Heng was surprised and asked, "How did you get entangled with Ouyang Yu's people while treating Wu Shengnan?"
Cheng Xiaofan replied, "Perhaps it was my bad luck!"
Immediately after, he recounted everything from massaging and treating Wu Shengnan at the hotel, to being targeted by a female rogue cultivator, and his conversation with Ouyang Yu.
Finally, Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but chuckle, "Ouyang Yu is even using rogue cultivators. I have no intention of backing down."
"This is a perfect opportunity for me to teach this arrogant and overbearing young master, along with his father, a lesson!"
Zhang Heng shook his head.
He said, "Ouyang Yu's father is not like Li Jieqiong. He's someone you cannot afford to provoke!"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "Teacher, please don't worry about this. Tomorrow morning, that important figure you mentioned who is bringing a group of top foreign individuals here, I can handle them. Why should I be concerned about the father of a mere young master?"
"..." Hearing him say this, Zhang Heng was speechless.
Thinking about tomorrow's events, he couldn't help but scratch his head.
Cheng Xiaofan, seeing his troubled expression, asked, "Teacher, what's wrong now?"
Zhang Heng sighed, "Xiaofan, I received another call from that person in charge this afternoon. He said he would be bringing those foreigners by helicopter to Jade Tablet Mountain tomorrow morning and asked me to greet them there."
"They want to see the original prehistoric human from Earth in the cave."
"I wanted to explain to him that the prehistoric woman from Earth is no longer in this world, but he wouldn't even give me a chance to speak."
"He was only concerned with his own excitement and enthusiasm, without considering how others were feeling at the moment."
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled, "Some people in higher positions are just like that nowadays."
"Teacher, please don't worry about this anymore. The best way to catch a thief is to catch the leader. Tomorrow, you'll see. I'll take him down first."
Hearing this, Zhang Heng quickly asked, "Xiaofan, how will you take him down? You're not going to resort to force directly, are you?"
Cheng Xiaofan laughed heartily, "Teacher, do I look like a brute? How could I resort to force so easily?"
"Even if I have to resort to force, it depends on the occasion!"
As the teacher and student were engrossed in their conversation, the little master's wife and Wu Shengnan emerged from the kitchen, each carrying two plates of food.
Dinner began!
After a few rounds of drinks.
Zhang Heng said to Wu Shengnan, "Xiao Wu, before seven o'clock tomorrow, you will pick up Cheng Xiaofan from here and then go to Jade Tablet Mountain."
"Tomorrow, a big shot will be bringing a group of foreigners to the cave on Jade Tablet Mountain to see the prehistoric beauty from Earth."
"Your mission tomorrow is to lead that team of special police and ensure their safety!"
Wu Shengnan said with a look of astonishment, "Minister Zhang, didn't that prehistoric beauty from Earth turn to dust before she even left the cave?"
Zhang Heng replied, "This big shot I encountered this time wouldn't listen to my explanations at all. He took it upon himself to hold a press conference and attract a bunch of foreigners."
"Tomorrow, let Xiaofan explain to them!"
"Thank you, Teacher, for giving me this opportunity!"
Cheng Xiaofan immediately raised his wine glass with both hands, saying with great excitement, "Teacher, this is a toast from your student, using borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha!"
"..." Zhang Heng looked at Cheng Xiaofan speechlessly again. Anyone else would be trying to avoid such a situation, yet this kid seemed so happy to be involved.
He had no idea that Cheng Xiaofan's mind was set on using this opportunity to make a fortune.
Ideally, he would also make a large sum of US dollars from those foreigners.
As a successor of Shennong, possessing heaven-defying eyes, he should not waste any opportunity to create wealth that fell from the sky for himself.
He just wondered if the Shennong Emperor in the past, when encountering people he couldn't stand, also frequently did things that were satisfying to the people.
After dinner.
Before leaving, Wu Shengnan said to Cheng Xiaofan, "Mr. Cheng, I'll come to pick you up early tomorrow morning!"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and nodded, "Okay, thank you for your hard work again!"
After Wu Shengnan left, Zhang Heng said, "It's getting late. You should get some rest."
Cheng Xiaofan replied, "Okay, I'll go rest. Teacher, you and the little master's wife should also get some rest. Don't worry too much about tomorrow morning's affairs!"
Zhang Heng said, "Alright, I'll be counting on you tomorrow!"
