Top-tier Unruly Master

There weren't many people who could command such respect from Old Fang, and finding a second one in Jiangnan City would be difficult. From this alone, it was certain that Miss Mu Zi had an extremely formidable background.

And yet, Miss Mu Zi, with such a powerful background, kept calling Ding Fan "Chief."

Miss Mu Zi was already very impressive; a person treated with such respect by her could not possibly be simple.

"Chief... It was my lack of discipline with my son that caused the offense. Please forgive me generously," Lin Guangyao said as he approached Ding Fan, with a forced smile on his face.

Ding Fan actually began to respect this Lin Guangyao a bit, for if he wasn't acting in films, it would really waste his talent.

Previously, when Lin Guangyao wanted to dismiss him with 200,000, he was utterly haughty, but now, he was all smiles, no better than a gatekeeping dog.

Ding Fan naturally knew that Lin Guangyao's behavior was because he wanted to make a good impression to save himself. Including the act of handing over Lin Yuanjie to Wang Li for legal proceedings, it was just a tactic to save himself.

Since his rebirth, Ding Fan had seen many people like Lin Guangyao who would sacrifice everything for their own interests.

For such people, Ding Fan really couldn't bother to feign politeness.

Seeing that Ding Fan was ignoring him, Lin Guangyao, who was hung out to dry, didn't get angry but continued to smile apologetically. "Chief..."

Before Lin Guangyao could finish speaking, Miss Mu Zi came over and told Lin Guangyao, "You already admitted to your poor parenting. I think you ought to go to the detention center to properly educate your son and to reflect on your behavior. Stop acting tough when you leave home, and don't think that just because you have some money, you are the boss after Heaven itself."

"What... What? Miss Mu Zi... please don't joke about this," Lin Guangyao's smile stiffened.

Although Lin Guangyao might not be significant nationally, in Jiangnan City, he was a notable figure. If he was detained, he would become the laughingstock of the city in everyday gossip.

"Do you think I am joking?" Miss Mu Zi said, smiling radiantly.

Lin Guangyao was stunned, then turned to look at Old Fang. However, Old Fang pretended to have heard nothing.

Others might not know Miss Mu Zi's personality, but Old Fang did. Once she decided on something, it was hard to change her mind. Even if he spoke up, she wouldn't listen to him, and it would only result in losing face.

"Uncle Liu, wanting to detain a military officer... With this alone, holding him for a few days shouldn't be a problem, right?" Miss Mu Zi said, turning to look at the major general.

"No problem." After the major general spoke indifferently, he waved his right hand, and immediately two soldiers rushed over and grabbed Lin Guangyao.

Lin Guangyao hardly resisted and was led away by the two soldiers.

Now, both Lin Yuanjie and his father were caught.

The few police officers who initially wanted to arrest Ding Fan looked at each other. Especially the fat man, whose forehead was sweaty.

Before, the fat man had thought that helping Lin Yuanjie to bully others was a chance for him to get promoted and become wealthy. However, he had not expected that the person Lin Yuanjie was trying to trample on was so tough.

The father and son from the Lin family, who could shake the entire city of Jiangnan with a stomp, were so easily and pleasantly dealt with by the opposition.

"Chief... it was all my fault, please forgive me..." The fat man stood out directly, his legs trembling as he spoke to Ding Fan.

The fat man had been very arrogant before, shouting that he'd like to see how Ding Fan could strip his police uniform.

Now it seemed that stripping him of his police uniform was an easy and pleasant task for Ding Fan. Such powerful figures like Lin Yuanjie and his father were detained just like that; he, a mere ordinary police officer, had no right to act arrogantly in front of Ding Fan.

So, the fat man saw the situation clearly.

Keeping his head down or sticking it out would bring the same result. Perhaps by stepping forward and admitting his mistakes, he might be forgiven. Thus, the fat man went ahead and did just that.

Ding Fan glanced at the fat man.

Although the fat man was despicable for bullying others by abusing his power, after all, he was just a minor character.

"Behave yourself..."

After dropping those words, Ding Fan no longer paid attention to the fat man. For an existence as insignificant as an ant, if not necessary, Ding Fan scorned to step on it.

"Let's go," Ding Fan said to Ruoran, Miss Mu Zi, and Liu Qingwei.

Due to the recent events, the dock had already become crowded, and Ding Fan was not comfortable with such scenes.

Since Ding Fan wanted to leave, Miss Mu Zi and the others did not delay and followed him out of the crowd immediately.

Watching Ding Fan walk out of the crowd, the fat man's body seemed to have been emptied, weakening. At that moment, he was secretly relieved that he had stepped forward and admitted his mistakes.

If he really had waited for Ding Fan to find him, he would not only have to worry about losing his police uniform, but he might also have been detained...

By now, the pot-bellied man understood one thing well: he needed to behave himself. Next time, he truly wouldn't dare to bully others on a whim again.

Ding Fan left with Ruoran, Mu Zi, and Liu Qingwei.

At this moment, someone came to pick up Liu Qingwei. Naturally, Ding Fan no longer needed to protect her safety. As they were about to part ways, Liu Qingwei, grateful for Ding Fan and Ruoran saving her life, insisted on treating them to a meal.

Liu Qingwei genuinely wanted to express her thanks. Throughout their journey, the three had faced some hardships together. With each departure, knowing when they would meet again was uncertain.

Thereupon, they found a nice restaurant in Jiangnan City.

Some leaders had wanted to arrange a meal for Ding Fan and his friends, but Mu Zi, knowing that Ding Fan disliked dealing with political figures, simply sent all the military and local leaders back.

Without these officials around, their dining experience was indeed more relaxed and natural.

The restaurant Ding Fan and his friends chose was called Elegant Residence, a famous establishment locally.

This restaurant was particularly renowned for its steamed Li River yellowfish.

The Li River yellowfish, a local specialty of Jiangnan City, was uniquely prepared at this restaurant, making their steamed yellowfish exceptionally delicious and attracting many people.

Ding Fan and his friends specifically ordered this restaurant's steamed Li River yellowfish.

They chose a private room near the street.

After taking their seats, Ruoran naturally sat to the right of Ding Fan. Mu Zi took the seat on Ding Fan's left, and Liu Qingwei, being on good terms with Ruoran, sat next to her.

The tall man who had come to rescue Liu Qingwei earlier sat beside her. As for the bodyguards brought by the tall man, they had asked for another room and dined separately.

This tall man, though under thirty, had a cultivation of Earth Level Second Grade.

One should know that back in Yan Capital, Ye Qingyun, with his Earth Level Second Grade cultivation, dominated Yanjing and established the Ye Family as one of the Four Great Families.

This tall man already having Earth Level Second Grade cultivation spoke volumes about his talents.

After a brief acquaintance, Ding Fan learned that this man was named Yan Zhuang, the adopted son of Liu Fengyuan, the chairman of Xi Jing's Changtian Group.

As a youth, during an unusual encounter, he was spotted by an elder of an Ancient Martial Sect and later taken to train at sea. It was only last year that Yan Zhuang returned from the sea.

Ding Fan observed that Yan Zhuang's mind was quite simple and he was very honest. Moreover, Ding Fan noticed that Yan Zhuang frequently stole glances at Liu Qingwei, indicating he likely had feelings for her.

Everyone enjoyed the meal greatly, and Ding Fan even drank some wine.

After the meal, Yan Zhuang left with Liu Qingwei and the others.

"Brother Fan, I've come with some fantastic news this time," Mu Zi said mysteriously to Ding Fan after they had seen off Liu Qingwei and the others.

Ding Fan looked at Mu Zi, a slight smile playing on his lips. "What good news?"

"Brother Fan, I can tell you the good news, but there's one condition—you have to take me with you," Mu Zi said earnestly to Ding Fan.

Following Ding Fan had its perks, and Mu Zi even wanted to stick with Ding Fan for everything, including sleeping and using the bathroom.

"If possible, I will take you."

Mu Zi was very pleased upon hearing Ding Fan's agreement. "Brother Fan, I found out that there is going to be an auction tonight on Dragon Snake Island."

"An auction?" Ding Fan glanced at Mu Zi.

After his rebirth, Ding Fan had attended two auctions. One was in the Yan Capital—although that auction was smaller and had nothing special.

The other was the Longxi Auction.

In Longxi, Ding Fan had acquired many treasures. The Ancient Cauldron he used recently for Pill Refinement was purchased then. Even the materials for upgrading his Small World were obtained from that auction.

Hearing about another auction now excited Ding Fan.

On Earth, cultivation resources were very limited, and auctions were one of the few places to acquire some treasures.

"I heard this auction is a significant event, and even Heavenly Level Martial Artists will attend!" Mu Zi added.

Heavenly Level? Heavenly Level Martial Artists...

Ding Fan was profoundly shocked. Since his rebirth, he had heard of Heavenly Level Martial Artists but had never seen a true Heavenly Level Martial Artist...
