As they were talking, Lu Fan arrived at their table with a glass of wine.
Seeing him, they quickly stood up, "Mr. Lu, why have you come?"
"Naturally, to return your toast," Lu Fan chuckled lightly. "You two went to toast, how could I not reciprocate!"
"Mr. Lu's status is precious, how dare we let Mr. Lu return the toast," Boss Qian said quickly.
"So, you already know my identity?" Lu Fan sat down slowly, his powerful aura instantly revealed.
Shen Guofeng and Boss Qian trembled violently, their expressions changing drastically. They quickly bowed, "We only guessed, we didn't dare to confirm it, otherwise we wouldn't have been so presumptuous."
"Your guess is correct, I am Lord Lu of Jiangnan," Lu Fan said indifferently, slowly drinking the wine in his cup.
"We pay our respects to Lord Lu. It is our gravest offense that you have graced Chuzhou with your presence!" Boss Qian cupped his fists, trembling with fear.
Lu Fan had clearly seen him kill a Grandmaster with a flick of his finger by the lake in Qingzhou, Jiangnan. If he offended Lu Fan, there would be no escape.
Seeing this, Shen Guofeng couldn't utter a word, his heart filled with bitterness. He had come out for a meal only to encounter such a powerful figure. This was practically a death sentence for him.
"You don't need to be so apprehensive," Lu Fan waved his hand. "I'm here only to remind you that I don't want anyone to know my identity. I hope you can keep it a secret, as I am a very low-key person!"
"We would never dare to reveal a single word!" Boss Qian raised his hand. "If I break this oath, may lightning strike me."
"No need for oaths!" Lu Fan shrugged. "Just a slight reminder."
After speaking, Lu Fan got up and walked away.
Shen Xiaoxiao watched the scene, feeling somewhat puzzled. "What's wrong with my dad and Boss Qian? Why are they bowing and scraping like that? I've never seen them like this before!"
"Perhaps they've had too much to drink!" Han Yunhai chuckled. "People act like this when they're drunk, they're not clear-headed and don't know what they're doing."
"I think so too!" Shen Xiaoxiao nodded. "This is how he is every time he gets drunk. I'll have to help him back again!"
After Lu Fan left, Shen Guofeng and Boss Qian let out a sigh of relief, their hearts filled with mixed emotions. Perhaps this was power, capable of making people breathless.
"Brother Qian, I'm truly grateful to you today, otherwise I would be in trouble," Shen Guofeng said gratefully. "You are a benefactor to my Shen family."
"Please, don't say that!" Boss Qian shook his head. "In the future, I will still rely on Brother Shen, especially since Shen Xiaoxiao has such a close relationship with Lord Lu. The Shen family will surely prosper in the future."
"Let's hope so!" Shen Guofeng nodded slightly, still quite shaken. He knew very well that this matter was not trivial.
Returning to the table, Lu Fan smiled. "We've almost finished this meal, shouldn't we be going?"
"Mr. Lu, what were you talking about with my dad and Boss Qian just now?" Shen Xiaoxiao asked. "They looked so serious, I've never seen them like that before."
"Just some interesting anecdotes," Lu Fan said indifferently. "So we chatted for a while longer."
"It's getting late, we should be heading back," Han Yunhai smiled. "Tomorrow we're going to Niutou Mountain, let's meet at Jiangjing Bie Yuan."
"Jiangjing Bie Yuan?"
Shen Xiaoxiao was a little surprised. "That's no ordinary place. Are you staying there?"
"That's right, we are staying there!" Lu Fan nodded. "A friend of mine owns a house in Jiangjing Bie Yuan, so we moved in directly!"
"So that's how it is!" Shen Xiaoxiao nodded. "Then your friend must have a very powerful background. I've heard that those who can live in Jiangjing Bie Yuan are not ordinary people!"
"Probably!" Lu Fan nodded and smiled. "Actually, I don't know him very well!"
Shen Xiaoxiao didn't press further. After bidding farewell to everyone, she packed her belongings. Just then, Shen Guofeng walked over. "Xiaoxiao, tell your dad honestly, how did you meet Mr. Lu?"
"Didn't I tell you before? I was almost kidnapped on the bus, and Mr. Lu saved me," Shen Xiaoxiao replied frankly. "Dad, what's wrong with you? Why are you so jumpy today?"
"I'm just curious!" Shen Guofeng shot her a glance. "What do you think of Mr. Lu?"
"Mr. Lu is righteous and a good friend," Shen Xiaoxiao said frankly. "Dad, why are you saying this all of a sudden? Did something happen?"
"No, no!" Boss Qian quickly interjected. "We're just curious, after all, Mr. Lu is a good person, and we can sense that."
"Naturally, friends I make can't be bad."
Shen Xiaoxiao nodded. "However, you two are very strange today!"
"Nothing strange, we're just curious," Boss Qian smiled. "Mr. Lu is a good person, Xiaoxiao, don't miss the opportunity, it's rare."
After saying that, Boss Qian turned and left. He dared not reveal Lu Fan's identity, so he could only subtly remind her.
Shen Xiaoxiao was bewildered, especially by the previous remark that made her tremble. "Ahem, Boss Qian is joking! We're just ordinary friends."
"Ordinary friends can also become close people," Boss Qian smiled. "This Mr. Lu is not simple, perhaps he has a great background. You mustn't miss the opportunity."
After speaking, Boss Qian turned and left. He dared not reveal Lu Fan's identity and could only remind her secretly.
Shen Xiaoxiao was somewhat helpless, unaware of the deeper meaning.
"Xiaoxiao, this Mr. Lu is also not an ordinary person, he clearly has great wealth and status," Shen Guofeng said. "Even if you can't become close to him, you must not offend him easily, lest you bring trouble to the Shen family."
"What are you talking about!" Shen Xiaoxiao looked innocent. "Mr. Lu and I are just ordinary friends. Mr. Lu is such a good person, why would he be an enemy of our Shen family? Dad, aren't you worrying too much!" Su Dan Novel Network
"I'm just giving you a reminder!" Shen Guofeng said frankly. "In any case, you must remember what I told you today!"
"I know, I know!" Shen Xiaoxiao said impatiently. "We have to go to Niutou Mountain tomorrow!"
"Take all the Shen family bodyguards with you," Shen Guofeng said quickly. "Listen to Mr. Lu on the way!"
"Mr. Lu said he doesn't need them!" Shen Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. "It's a pity he probably doesn't know the danger of Niutou Mountain. If something happens, I don't know if we'll be able to come back!"
"Don't worry, go ahead! If Mr. Lu doesn't want them, then don't," Shen Guofeng said solemnly.
Shen Xiaoxiao was completely confused. Was this still the same father who doted on her? Knowing that Niutou Mountain was extremely dangerous, he was urging her to go into the mountain alone with Lu Fan. She even suspected that Shen Guofeng disliked her and wanted her to die on Niutou Mountain.
However, this was just Shen Xiaoxiao's wild speculation, and she didn't take it too seriously. She knew that Shen Guofeng was her most beloved father.
