As he walked out of the police station,
Chen Fang was in a good mood.
Although there were so hiccups in between, it was still within control.
It had been a busy day.
He only fell asleep late at night, almost at dawn.
By the ti he got ho, Chen Fang was already exhausted.
After taking a shower, he fell asleep instantly and slept until almost noon the next day.
Just as he woke up from bed,
Chen Fang received a phone call.
The call was actually from You Li.
Since they parted in Jianning City,
Chen Fang and You Li had only contacted each other once.
It was the day You Li was discharged from the hospital; she sent a ssage to Chen Fang to let him know.
At the ti, Chen Fang was busy, so he didn't reply and later forgot about it.
Today, seeing her call, he slapped his forehead with guilt and hurriedly answered it.
"Hello, is it Brother Fang?"
"This is Chen Fang, Miss You... about last ti..."
Before he could apologize,
You Li interrupted him, saying, "Brother Fang, I've co to Xiaxiang City."
"What? You're in Xiaxiang City?"
"Yes, I want to see you."
Over the phone, You Li's voice sounded weak.
Chen Fang thought for a mont.
No matter how Peng Guoliang plans to respond next, it should happen tomorrow. Anyway, he's free today, so he said, "Where are you? I'll co find you."
On the phone, You Li paused and said, "There's a Star Nine Cafe diagonally opposite . I'll wait for you there, okay?"
"Sure, I'm heading out now. Wait for for a while."
After hanging up the phone,
Chen Fang quickly freshened up.
He hailed a cab and soon reached the Star Nine Cafe.
As he entered, Chen Fang imdiately spotted You Li sitting in a booth.
She sat quietly by the window, with warm sunlight gracing her face, looking quite charming.
"Didn't wait too long, did you?"
Chen Fang sat down and asked.
You Li nodded, saying, "It's fine. I didn't know what you like to drink, so I ordered an iced Aricano for you. It should help you stay alert."
"How did you know I needed to stay alert?"
Chen Fang asked.
You Li smiled sweetly and said, "When you answered the phone, your voice sounded very lazy. It's the weekend, so I guessed you just woke up."
"You're quite perceptive."
Chen Fang murmured.
You Li brushed her bangs lightly and asked, "Brother Fang, what did you say?"
Chen Fang quickly changed the subject, saying, "Oh, nothing. Why did you co to Xiaxiang this ti?"
This question brought a sorrowful expression to You Li's face.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Fang asked.
You Li said with grievance, "I... I resigned."
"What? Why resign? Didn't I ask Song Jiangshan to promote you to team leader?"
Chen Fang asked.
You Li looked at her injured shoulder.
She said, "Although it didn't hurt the bone, my hand lacks strength, and I don't feel I can do well as a team leader. Also, I'm left with a scar on my shoulder. I... I feel very self-conscious."
These words.
Made the guilt in Chen Fang's heart grow even stronger.
Even though the whole thing was caused by Song Jiangshan,
It still had connections to Chen Fang.
In other words, You Li got hurt for him.
"You ca to find , do you need my help with sothing?"
Chen Fang asked.
You Li looked like she was hesitating to say sothing.
Chen Fang encouraged, "It's okay, just say what you want to do."
You Li paused, as if gathering courage, and said, "Brother Fang, I... I want to ask you to help find a job."
"I thought it was sothing big, sure, looking for a job, right? What kind do you want?"
Chen Fang asked.
You Li pondered for a mont.
She said, "I studied cabin crew, only know how to take care of people. My shoulder isn't healed yet, so I can't do heavy work, but I can manage simple household chores. How about... how about I be your live-in maid? I'm good at cooking."
"Live-in maid?"
Chen Fang was montarily stunned upon hearing this.
For a mont, he was a bit hesitant.
First, everything at ho was managed by Fang i and Fang Gui, so there was no need for outsiders.
Second, Chen Fang had been working intensely lately, and with the ongoing 'battle' with Jiang Chuo, the outco was uncertain. Having You Li with him would be irresponsible towards her.
But seeing her eager eyes,
Chen Fang couldn't help but soften.
After all, in the last incident, he indeed owed You Li a huge favor.
"Hmm... sure, I actually have two younger sisters living with . How about this: you can take care of the cooking and laundry for three of us, and I'll pay you ten thousand a month."
"Ten thousand is too much. With food and lodging included, I only need six thousand."
You Li said nervously.
Chen Fang waved his hand,
and said, "Alright, it's settled. I'll take you ho now."
Just as he got up,
the phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, it was from Lin Chen.
He felt a jolt in his heart, as if sensing sothing, he said to You Li, "I'll take this call."
After that,
he turned and went out.
On the phone, Lin Chen's voice sounded very agitated, "Mayor Chen, where are you now? Can you co to Yunzhong? Sothing happened to Miss... Miss..."
"Is it a health issue?"
Chen Fang asked.
After Lin Chen confird, Chen Fang said, "Alright, I'm coming right now."
After hanging up,
his heart was imdiately filled with worry.
The thing he had been worried about still happened, and faster than expected.
He thought for a mont, made a call to Fang i, then returned to the cafe, and said to the waiting You Li, "Miss You... how about I call you Lili from now on? Just wait here, I've sent soone to pick you up, I have sothing urgent to deal with."
"Okay, Brother Fang, you go ahead."
You Li said obediently.
After settling You Li,
Chen Fang hurriedly left.
As soon as he left,
a man wearing a baseball cap sat directly in front of You Li.
The current You Li was like a different person.
The pure and lovely look on her face was completely gone, replaced by a face full of arrogance.
Once the man with the cap sat down,
she extended her hand.
The cap man asked, "What?"
"Cigarette!"
You Li said simply.
The cap man pulled out a pack of cigarettes and handed it to her.
She took one out and lit it.
After a deep drag, she said, "The second step is successful too, now I've smoothly infiltrated. What's the next plan?"
The cap man said in a low voice, "Keep a close watch on Chen Fang's every move, who he stays in contact with, what his next actions are, none of these pieces of information should be missed."
"Co on, I'm just a maid, can I really see all that?"
You Li asked disdainfully.
