"Gang Leader Fang is joking. It is my job to protect the lives and property of the law-abiding residents of the 24th District. Why do I need to hire them?"
After a moment of hesitation, Zhao Wuyan chose to accept Fang Rui's commission.
There is no other reason. With his identity and strength, he can keep this purple jade crystal; the value of this purple jade crystal to him is also worth offending Xu Bufan.
"Then just think that I'm asking Uncle Zhao to keep my property safe for me for the time being. After all, I can't keep this thing by myself."
Fang Rui answered in a hurry.
"It's true. Wealth should not be revealed. There must be many people who care about your crystal in public. For your personal safety, Uncle Zhao will be a good person and keep this purple jade crystal for you for the time being."
Zhao Wuyan took the amethyst crystal with a smile on his face.
And his answer also caused a look of regret to appear on the faces of most of the guests present.
Xu Bufan on the side was even more pale-faced, and his whole body was shaking with anger.
It is not difficult to see from his expression that if he had not known that there was an absolute strength gap between himself and Zhao Wuyan, he would have gone on a rampage and started a killing spree.
After all, Zhao Wuyan accepted the Purple Jade Crystal in front of him and promised to protect Fang Rui's life. This was undoubtedly a slap in the face in front of everyone.
As a small city lord in District 11 who has a bad temper, how could he possibly endure such anger?
"My seat is next to you, right?"
Fang Rui ignored Xu Bufan's cannibalistic look and looked at Zhao Wuyan as usual and asked.
"Yes! I'll take you there. You haven't eaten a bite of the banquet I've prepared for you!"
Zhao Wuyan, who was in a very good mood, stretched out his fat hand and touched Fang Rui's shoulder. Before he could reach it, he put his arm around Fang Rui's waist affectionately.
"Yan'er, come here too."
Zhao Wuyan did not forget to turn around and call Zhao Yan.
He saw Xu Bufan's state in his eyes, and he was worried about leaving his daughter here alone.
"Okay, Dad!"
Zhao Yan was overjoyed when she heard this, and followed Fang Rui with her beautiful eyes full of Fang Rui's back.
Girls are most fond of youth. Fang Rui's handsome and mysterious appearance, his calm demeanor in dealing with things, and his wisdom in turning danger into safety and escaping from death in a few words made her full of interest in this boy of the same age.
"Are you OK?"
Seeing that Xu Bufan was alone, Wang Chen, who hesitated for a long time, finally decided to step forward and comfort his "ex-boyfriend".
"I'm very fine..."
Xu Bufan was obviously furious. He looked at the backs of the three people leaving with blood-red eyes and said with a ferocious expression:
"Wait! Soon! I will let this ignorant bastard die with no body intact, and let this fat pig desperately collect the corpses of his whole family!"
"Calm down! Don't..." Wang Chen subconsciously wanted to dissuade her, but Xu Bufan couldn't listen to her at all.
Finally, he glared at Fang Rui's back fiercely, turned around, and left with a smile on his face.
…
The banquet continued, not affected by Xu Bufan's departure at all.
Even knowing that Zhao Wuyan had obtained the purple jade crystal, the probability of breaking through to level B has been greatly increased, turning the banquet from a peacemaking banquet to a celebration banquet.
Not only did the excitement rise by several levels, there was an endless stream of guests coming to toast Zhao Wuyan and Zhao Yan.
After the two-hour banquet, Zhao Wuyan was so drunk that his stomach was full. Due to the effect of a large amount of alcohol, his whole body was glowing with a festive red color.
Zhao Yan, on the other hand, lay drunk on Fang Rui's knees, neither vomiting nor fussing, as if she fell asleep directly due to the drunkenness.
"Uncle Zhao, what should we do?"
Fang Rui helplessly nudged Zhao Wuyan with his elbow, who was toasting the guests.
"Don't worry, Uncle Zhao and I have a good drinking capacity! I won't delay protecting you."
Zhao Wuyan, whose eyes were already a little blurred, would blink at Fang Rui mistakenly, telling the latter not to worry.
"I mean your daughter..."
"Oh! I made you laugh. The little girl is indeed a little drunk. Someone, please send the young lady back to her room."
The two waitresses stepped forward and prepared to help Zhao Yan back, but when they touched Zhao Yan, the sleeping girl reacted.
She was like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw, tightly hugging Fang Rui's waist and refusing to let go for a moment.
"Uncle Zhao..." Fang Rui had no choice but to turn to Zhao Wuyan for help again.
"Damn it, this girl is really embarrassing." Zhao Wuyan frowned at first, then glanced at a bunch of guests who needed to say goodbye, and looked a little embarrassed:
"But Xiao Fang, as you can see, I still have to be responsible for the ending of the banquet. I can't get away. Why don't I help you and cooperate with Chunqiu and Xiadong to send Yan'er back."
"Where to send?"
"It's the attic in front. Don't worry, sophisticated curse detectors are installed around the attic. If there is an emergency, I will be able to get there as soon as possible."
"Okay." Fang Rui shook his head helplessly and had no choice but to let Zhao Yan hold him.
Seeing this, the two waitresses also hurriedly stepped forward. One supported her waist and the other raised her legs. Together with Fang Rui, they carefully carried Zhao Yan to the attic not far away.
Three minutes later, in the elegant pink room of Nanyuan Loft:
"Are you pretending to be drunk?"
Fang Rui couldn't help but frown when he saw Zhao Yan, who immediately let go of her arms and stood up after entering the room, and waved away the two female waitresses.
"Oh, if I don't pretend to be drunk, I will really get drunk..."
Zhao Yan admitted with a blushing face.
I don't know if it's because of the alcohol, or because I'm a little embarrassed.
"Since you have nothing to do, I'll leave first. It's not appropriate for a man and a woman to live alone in the same room."
Fang Rui bowed slightly and prepared to say goodbye.
"Hey, hey, no!"
Zhao Yan hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Fang Rui's clothes and advised:
"In this whole attic, my room with my father is the safest. If you don't stay in my room, why don't you go to my father's room?"
"Really?" Fang Rui stopped leaving, and after thinking for a moment, he said:
"But it's really not appropriate for us to be in the same room like this. It will affect your reputation. How about you go to your father's room for a while?"
"???" Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment, and then she emphasized, unable to laugh or cry:
"this is my room!"
"Then please take me to your father's room."
"You don't want to be with me that much?"
"It's inappropriate."
"It's not the right size, and you brought me in in front of everyone!"
"You brought me in, I didn't even move my hands..."
"I...I don't care! If you dare to leave, I'll yell at you!" Zhao Yan, who was at a loss for words, acted like a rogue.
"Why do you have to let me stay?"
"I'm bored, I'm happy!"
"It's not safe to be with me."
"Oh?" As if she had misunderstood something, Zhao Yan turned her face sideways, pursed her lips, looked at her toes with half shyness and half expectancy and said:
