It was, after all, a gathering of classmates who had studied in the capital. Su Yingli's public kneeling indeed caught Cheng Xiaofan off guard.
He had never expected that Su Yingli, who had always carried herself with such arrogance, would resort to such a tactic.
Su Yingli's eyes reddened, tears streaming down her cheeks as she choked out, "I'm sorry, old classmate. I was wrong last time. I apologize to you!"
"And at the same time, thank you for curing my epilepsy!"
Saying this, she produced a bank card from her person. "Old classmate, I don't have much money saved. There's 600,000 yuan in here. Consider it payment for your treatment!"
Cheng Xiaofan pulled her up from the ground. "It's all in the past. I won't blame you anymore!"
"As for the treatment fee, let's forget it. After all, we're classmates. I won't charge you for the consultation!"
"Oh, and tomorrow, you should still go to work at the Heavenly and Human Group as usual. Work hard there, and the group company will treat you well!"
"Thank you, old classmate. Thank you!" Su Yingli said, visibly moved.
She then quickly turned to the nearby waitress and said, "Miss, could you please go and inform them to serve the dishes immediately?"
Normally, Su Yingli would never speak so gently to a waitress.
It was surprising how much she had changed after experiencing such a severe setback.
It seemed she was indeed an intelligent woman with strong adaptability.
Before long,
the table was laden with dishes and drinks.
"Old classmate, please take a look at this menu. Is there anything else you'd like to eat?" Su Yingli took the menu and approached Cheng Xiaofan.
Cheng Xiaofan replied, "This spread is already very generous. There's no need to order more. Everyone, please be seated!"
Hearing him, everyone took their seats.
Although Su Yingli was the host, Cheng Xiaofan seemed more like the master of ceremonies.
Cheng Xiaofan wouldn't steal the spotlight. Since Su Yingli was treating, and she was a high-ranking official at the Heavenly and Human Group, he would naturally give her due respect.
He said to Su Yingli, "Classmate Su, now that everyone is gathered, we await your word!"
"Thank you, old classmate!"
Su Yingli knew exactly what Cheng Xiaofan meant. She said emotionally, "Hello, everyone, my dear old classmates. Today, I, Su Yingli, am honored to have Classmate Cheng here, and with all of you to liven up the occasion, I feel truly fortunate!"
"Let's all raise our glasses and toast to welcoming Classmate Cheng to this gathering!"
This meal was much more lively than the last.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill,
Cheng Xiaofan stood up from the table and, facing the beautiful classmates present, cupped his fists in a gesture of respect, bowing his head slightly. He smiled and said, "Everyone, it's getting late. I need to rush back tonight. I bid you farewell now!"
With that, he reached out, opened the sliding window beside him, and leaped out. He disappeared instantly.
"Ah! Classmate Cheng jumped out the window?"
"Heavens, has he had too much to drink?"
"This is terrible! What if he dies?"
"How did such a good class reunion turn into something like this?"
After all, this was the sixth floor. Would anyone survive a fall from this height?
Su Yingli, in particular, burst into tears. "It's over, it's over! If I go to work tomorrow and Li Jieqiong finds out about this, she'll have me beaten to death!"
"I can see that Li Jieqiong and her niece, Li Lili, have completely submitted to Classmate Cheng!"
Only Xia Yuxue remained relatively calm.
She could tell that Cheng Xiaofan couldn't possibly have been drunk, nor did he seem to have suddenly lost his mind and jumped.
It was highly likely he possessed lightness skill.
Ring, ring, ring!
Just as Xia Yuxue was thinking this, her phone rang.
She took out her phone and saw that it was Cheng Xiaofan calling.
"Ah, Cheng Xiaofan! Are you alright?" she shouted into the phone at Cheng Xiaofan.
Cheng Xiaofan laughed heartily. "Xia Yuxue, how could I be alright? I forgot to say goodbye to you individually just now. Don't be angry!"
Xia Yuxue smiled excitedly. "As long as you're alright, why would I be angry? I'm overjoyed!"
Cheng Xiaofan said, "As long as you're happy, that's all that matters. Goodbye!"
He hung up the phone.
Xia Yuxue had put the call on speakerphone.
Everyone present had heard their entire conversation word for word.
"I never imagined that Cheng Xiaofan could jump from the sixth floor and come out unscathed. He's too amazing!" Ma Xiaoyan exclaimed in amazement.
Bai Yuxia remarked, "It's truly hard to believe. After not seeing him for a few years, Cheng Xiaofan, the top student, has become so capable!"
While these beautiful women were discussing this, Cheng Xiaofan, riding on his Sky-Breaking Eagle, had already completed a circle around the area where Jiang Wentao resided.
Using his telekinetic abilities, he collected all the gold hidden by Jiang Wentao in his underground secret chamber and stored it in his spatial dimension.
Afterward, Cheng Xiaofan did not forget to call Jiang Wentao. "Old Jiang, can you still tell who this is?"
Jiang Wentao could easily recognize Cheng Xiaofan's voice.
He had just finished an intimate session with his wife and was lying down to rest. Upon hearing Cheng Xiaofan's voice, he immediately scrambled out of bed.
He said, "Ah, it's Mr. Cheng!"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled. "Old Jiang, for your safety, I've already taken away your gold and jewelry. I'm just calling to let you know!"
"See you again in the future!"
*Beep!*
With that, Cheng Xiaofan hung up the phone.
Jiang Wentao sat on the bed, stunned.
What was this Mr. Cheng talking about? Was he dreaming?
"He took away the gold and jewelry I hid in my underground secret chamber?"
Heh, how was that possible?
The entrance to the underground secret chamber was protected by three layers of doors, each with a different password. Even with all his abilities, Cheng Xiaofan couldn't possibly have entered.
Was he playing a joke on him?
After thinking it over, Jiang Wentao finally put on his clothes, got out of bed, and left the bedroom.
He went to the door leading to the basement and found that the password doors were securely locked, as if no one had tampered with them.
After all, Jiang Wentao himself had set the passwords for the three doors leading to the basement, and no one could open them without his knowledge.
Jiang Wentao sequentially opened the first two doors and reached the final door to the basement.
When he reached out and opened the third door, entering the secret chamber, he was so shocked that his eyes nearly fell out.
The gold bars and rare jewels stored inside were gone.
The entire underground secret chamber was empty!
"How could this be?" Jiang Wentao cried out in disbelief.
He simply couldn't comprehend how Cheng Xiaofan had managed to take those items.
After a long pause, Jiang Wentao finally came back to his senses.
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Mr. Cheng, you are not only ruthless, but your methods are also so uncanny that they defy ordinary understanding.
I am truly impressed by you!
From now on, as you said, I, Jiang, will turn over a new leaf and start anew."
...
"Screeeech—"
At this moment, the Sky-Breaking Eagle, carrying Cheng Xiaofan, was flying towards the Great Northwest.
