"Then are you sure you want to continue this journey with me?" Ling Zhenfei asked, his words carrying a double meaning. He was asking about the relationship between Bai Ling and him, whether it was a friendship or something more.
He believed Bai Ling would certainly understand, as this was something Bai Ling had thought about before coming.
Bai Ling, of course, knew what Ling Zhenfei meant. She looked at Ling Zhenfei and said, "I just want to be like before, I'm your manager, I'm your assistant, and accompany you wherever you go."
Ling Zhenfei nodded. Although Bai Ling said she wanted it to be like before, he wasn't sure if they could return to how things were after going through so much.
But then again, if Bai Ling didn't want to be with Ling Zhenfei, why would she come today?
The two gazed at each other deeply, as if they had returned to that previous time.
Ling Zhenfei asked, "You're back, won't your brother give me trouble?"
Bai Ling replied, "You're afraid my brother will give you trouble? I thought you weren't afraid of anything. If you were really afraid, why don't you marry me obediently?"
Ling Zhenfei was somewhat speechless. Whether it was Su Wanlong or Su Wanhu, although both were big figures in the Jianghu, they were still slightly inferior compared to Ling Zhenfei. Ling Zhenfei's current strength was beyond what they could compare with.
"By the way, what are you doing in Modu this time?" Bai Ling asked Ling Zhenfei.
"Actually, there's nothing much. My restaurant in Modu is opening, so of course, I need to be present," Ling Zhenfei said.
Bai Ling was slightly surprised: "Your restaurant is opening, I've just left for a little while, how does it feel so unfamiliar?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Yes, back then the Xi Shan Restaurant hadn't opened yet, now my other three restaurants are about to open."
Bai Ling was very surprised: "You must tell me what happened while I was gone?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Nothing much happened, it seems like just opening restaurants."
Bai Ling thought for a moment and asked, "What about Zi Xuan? Did anything happen between you two while I was gone?"
Back then, Yang Zixuan and Bai Ling had established an alliance, saying they would advance and retreat together. Now Bai Ling didn't know the situation, fearing that Yang Zixuan might have made advances toward Ling Zhenfei while Bai Ling was gone.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Zi Xuan is now the person in charge of Xi Shan Restaurant, she's probably very busy; I guess nothing happened."
"What, Zi Xuan became the person in charge of Xi Shan Restaurant? That's impressive. It seems, next time I return to Binyang, I need to make her treat me well." Bai Ling was very happy hearing that nothing happened between Yang Zixuan and Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei said, "No need for her to treat you, would my restaurant make you pay? But we're going to Modu's restaurant today, don't know how prepared they are."
Bai Ling was slightly surprised and asked, "So Zi Xuan manages the restaurant in Binyang, then who manages the restaurant in Modu?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "The person in charge in Binyang is Jiang Hui."
Upon hearing this name, Bai Ling was stunned: "It's a woman? I don't know this person, who is she?"
Ling Zhenfei realized after saying this, it seemed his restaurants were all managed by women; could this be a coincidence?
"This woman was someone I met by chance after you left, she became my assistant, and then Modu's Xi Shan Restaurant needed management, so I let her manage."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ling was somewhat angry: "You even found an assistant after I left, really! Honestly confess, does your romantic debt include this Jiang Hui?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "To be honest, I did sleep with her, but it should not be considered a romantic debt. The matter is quite complex."
"No matter how complex, I want to hear it, I need to know what happened between you two!" Bai Ling was determined to get to the bottom of it.
Ling Zhenfei had no choice but to tell Bai Ling the legendary story of how he met Jiang Hui.
"You're saying it's true that she deliberately seduced you to get blackmail material, how could that be possible? It seems impossible to me."
Ling Zhenfei said, "You don't know Jiang Hui's situation at the time. She really had no choice but to do it, she was not only living for herself but also for her family. Can you imagine she sacrificed for her family?"
Bai Ling nodded, "So you saving her really rescued her from the pit of fire, no wonder she entrusted everything to you."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Yes, even after we agreed, when she brought me to the Top Paparazzi, she still had hope, thinking that getting my blackmail material would make the Top Paparazzi let her go.
But unexpectedly, the Top Paparazzi seemed to have their eyes set on Jiang Hui. I believe if I hadn't saved Jiang Hui back then, this girl would surely be doomed, because she already lost hope, which is the motivation for living."
Because she retained hope, she could devote everything to completing what she wanted to do, but without hope, a person is done for."
Bai Ling nodded, "She seems like a pitiable person."
It was already time to check the tickets. Ling Zhenfei had spent quite a bit of time explaining to Bai Ling the process of meeting Jiang Hui, and now it was time to check the tickets.
Bai Ling, with her remarkable skills, had managed to switch her seat to be next to Ling Zhenfei.
The two chatted softly, Ling Zhenfei was very curious about Bai Ling, who he hadn't seen for a long time, and after asking about it, he came to know that Su Wanlong and Su Wanhu really took Bai Ling traveling.
They traveled to Australia, and Bai Ling shared with Ling Zhenfei what she had seen and done during this time. Because they hadn't seen each other for a while, everything they talked about was very enjoyable.
At this time, someone suddenly walked over and approached Ling Zhenfei, saying, "Hello, are you Mr. Ling Zhenfei?"
Ling Zhenfei and Bai Ling were chatting and upon hearing this, they immediately looked at the person and saw someone standing in front of them.
This person looked to be around thirty years old, fairly attractive, and from the way they dressed, they were not an ordinary person.
Although Ling Zhenfei didn't often follow the entertainment circle, he still recognized the person, likely a TV star.
Bai Ling was very familiar with such people and recognized him immediately: "Brother Tao, is that you?"
Upon Bai Ling's remark, Ling Zhenfei remembered, Xu Tao, a movie and reality show actor with a very good reputation in the industry. Although not very handsome, the movies he acted in were great, and he didn't make bad films.
Additionally, his wife, Wu Wenli, is also a movie actress; together, they are a celebrity couple in the entertainment circle.
"Hello, I'm Xu Tao." Xu Tao reached out to Ling Zhenfei, and Ling Zhenfei quickly shook his hand, "Hello, I'm Ling Zhenfei."
Xu Tao happily said, "Divine Doctor Ling, I've heard about you, didn't expect to meet on the plane; what a coincidence!"
