"Xu Jie, I think some things cannot be done recklessly. After all, this is the police station. You want a fair exchange, but I can't accept it in my heart. What I owe you should be given to you, consider it as a compensation for what I did to you yesterday." Ye Fan left the car key and stood up to leave.

"Stop!" Xu Jie was unhappy; she prided herself on having both figure and looks, and most importantly, she's not just some naive young girl, she knows how to care for someone. Yet, in this situation, she was still rejected by Ye Fan? This gave her a sense of defeat.

Ye Fan turned around and smiled, "Xu Jie, is there anything else?"

Xu Jie, with a bit of irritation, said, "Ye Fan, do you know this really hurts a woman's pride? I've already lowered myself to please you, why do you still want to hurt me like this?"

"Xu Jie, you have to understand, I'm not hurting you, I'm protecting you. Between us... there's no possibility," Ye Fan said, spreading his hands.

"I also know there's no possibility, just like I have desires for you. Actually yesterday... that was just an accident. I happened to be thinking, you happened to save me and helped me. You don't owe me anything, nor do you need to give me anything," Xu Jie said angrily.

Ye Fan nodded, "Regardless of what Xu Jie thinks, I actually feel Xu Jie is a good person, like a big sister who understands me. But some things, once can leave us with a beautiful memory. If it's twice... that's not normal, what do you think, Xu Jie?"

Even though Xu Jie disagreed with Ye Fan's words deep down, after thinking carefully, she nodded.

Once is a beautiful memory, but twice is an affair. And she openly accepted Ye Fan's car, which meant she was like a kept woman of Ye Fan outside, making the relationship quite complicated.

Xu Jie said, "Let's say you're right, but I didn't even tell you my name..."

"Your name is Xu Jie, right?" Ye Fan blinked, "Some things, even if you don't tell me, I can find out by seeing them. Xu Jie, I think it's more affectionate to call you like this. I hope we'll still be friends when we meet again in the future."

Xu Jie's name was Xu Jie, and she had seniority at the police station, so others all called her Xu Jie. Over time, her real name became unimportant.

Ye Fan only knew Xu Jie's original name after seeing the signature on her son's homework at her house.

"Where are you going?" Xu Jie asked, seeing Ye Fan heading for the door.

"I have to do something. I hope I can resolve it soon. We might not see each other again after this," Ye Fan said, already at the door. Before closing the door, he reminded, "Xu Jie, take your son and stay somewhere else. Some things will be very troublesome; I'll explain to you later."

Xu Jie was momentarily stunned but still nodded, watching Ye Fan leave. She kept looking out the window at Ye Fan walking away before sighing lightly. She didn't know why, but she was reluctant to see Ye Fan leave.

Women say they can let go after one night, but who can truly be so heartless? Especially since Xu Jie had never met someone like Ye Fan, who was so responsible, charismatic, carefree, and opinionated.

"I hate that we didn't meet before I got married," Xu Jie laughed self-mockingly, "But when I got married, you should have been a little brat. Ha, thinking like this, my choice wasn't wrong."

...

...

Ye Fan left the police station, leaving the car behind. He said he would give it to Xu Jie, and he meant it, as it was Han Qing'er's car. He wouldn't feel any regret.

With his current wealth, even millions meant nothing to him because money truly had become external to him. He didn't need food or drink, not even river water, nor did he need to breathe air; he could meditate anywhere in the mountains, pursuing immortality and enlightenment, making money meaningless.

Ye Fan hailed a taxi. Earlier, he'd left a trace of energy on Director Zhang's daughter, allowing him to find her based on that trace.

This woman said she would kidnap Xu Jie's son, and with Director Zhang's reckless ways, it was very likely to happen. So the last thing Ye Fan wanted to do for Xu Jie was to remove this hidden danger completely.

"Driver, please stop by the roadside!" Ye Fan said.

"Kid, you're quite something, making me circle around here. Do you not know the way?" The driver said somewhat impatiently.

Ye Fan took out a hundred-yuan bill and handed it over, "Thank you. Keep the change."

As long as there's money, everything's easier. Even if the driver had complaints, he'd immediately shut up now.

Ye Fan got out of the car and sensed the location of the Spiritual Energy. It was in a billiards room next door. The billiards room was on the second floor. Ye Fan went directly up the stairs, and before he reached the top, several small gangsters came down.

"I think Sister Zhang is crazy, asking us to buy her drugs. I heard she never touched this stuff before," one of the gangsters said.

Ye Fan grabbed the talking gangster and asked, "Hey, the Sister Zhang you're talking about, is she Director Zhang's daughter?"

"Who are you?" These small gangsters hadn't been with those who smashed the car and didn't know Ye Fan.

Ye Fan smiled, "I'm from a magazine and want to interview Director Zhang's daughter. I have a little gift for meeting, do you..."

Ye Fan took out a wad of cash from his storage bracelet, which made the gangsters' eyes light up. One said, "You're here to interview Sister Zhang? About what? I heard Sister Zhang won some big competition overseas, is it because of that?"

"Little brothers, I want to ask her about something... It's inconvenient to talk here, shall we discuss it at the fast food restaurant next door? My treat," Ye Fan acted like an enthusiastic reporter.

The gangsters, not knowing the situation, followed Ye Fan next door. After the gangsters explained the situation of Director Zhang's daughter, Ye Fan understood what was happening.

Director Zhang's daughter was named Zhang Xiaofan, nineteen years old, went abroad with her mother for studies at sixteen, due to her parents' divorce. Director Zhang had many mistresses, along with ties with local crime bosses like Sun Ronghe.

Zhang Xiaofan had been coming back these years, hanging out with friends from junior high, living like a socialite but keeping herself somewhat clean—no smoking, but drinking a lot. Due to her father's position, no one dared provoke her in Ninghai City. She often got into fights, had a fiery temper, and once caused serious injuries in a gang fight. But thanks to her father, the issue was brushed under the rug.

"What kind of drugs does she want?" Ye Fan asked, smiling.

"What else could it be? Of course, the kind that makes you high. Hey, you're not trying to trap us, are you? Let me tell you, Sister Zhang's dad is the municipal bureau chief. Even if you catch her, you can't convict her," the gangster now looked more cautious.

Ye Fan smiled, "Want to earn a little more money? I'll give you a million."
