Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Attending the Banquet

Beside them, Ye Xing rolled his eyes and snatched the phone from Lin Liqin’s hand. "Hey! Yiming, where the hell are you now? When are you getting back?"

"Uh, Ye Xing, is that really you? Why’d you go to my clinic without giving me a heads-up?" Zheng Yiming sounded slightly stunned on the other end of the line, clearly not expecting Ye Xing to actually be at his clinic. "I’m still in the city right now; it’ll take at least half an hour to get back. By the way, is what Liqin said true? You know medicine? Damn it, you two have to be ganging up to pull my leg, right?"

"Why would I mess with you? It’s the truth," Ye Xing scoffed. "I did you a huge favor. How are you planning to thank me?"

"Holy shit, if it’s true, how about I offer you my body? I’ll even make sure to wash my ass sparkling clean tonight!"

"Fuck off, you damn homo," Ye Xing cursed, unable to stifle a laugh. "Alright, I can’t be bothered to waste any more time talking crap with you. I have a lunch meeting, so I can’t wait for you. Gotta go. Later!"

After hanging up, Ye Xing immediately drove his Porsche away from Yiming Clinic, heading toward Longwan Grand Restaurant in Fu City.

It was just past eleven in the morning. The roads were packed with cars and the sidewalks teemed with pedestrians. Traffic lights flashed their alternating colors amid the cacophony of car horns and the lively chatter and laughter of the crowd.

RING-A-LING-LING... "You are my little, oh, little apple, like the most beautiful cloud in the sky, so red..."

His cell phone suddenly started ringing.

’Huh, it’s Frank!’ A flicker of recognition crossed Ye Xing’s face as he swiped the screen and answered the call.

"Hello, my dear Mr. Ye Xing! Guess where I am right now?" Frank’s voice came through the phone.

"Not guessing. That’s a little girl’s game. Real men don’t play that," Ye Xing scoffed.

"Haha, you’d never guess anyway! I’m in Luoxian County, China, right now!"

"Uh, what brings you all the way to Luoxian County?" Ye Xing asked as he drove.

"I heard that Mr. Wu Qiang has learned some of the true essence of your skills, so I plan to study martial arts with him," Frank said. "By the way, Mr. Ye Xing, are you free for lunch? Why don’t we get together for a meal? My treat!"

"I’m not free for lunch. I’m still in Fu City and can’t make it back," Ye Xing replied. "I happen to have a lunch engagement here I need to attend."

"Oh, in that case, let’s just meet for dinner then," Frank said quickly.

"Alright, then!" Ye Xing immediately nodded. Frank was his military trade partner, so he couldn’t very well refuse him a second time.

The Porsche weaved through the main roads, and after ten or twenty minutes, Ye Xing arrived at Longwan Grand Restaurant.

Because Longwan Grand Restaurant was a licensed seller of Immortal Flavor Old Fish, its business was booming. The restaurant’s reputation in Fu City was soaring, attracting a great number of diners.

The film crew had booked Deluxe Private Room 305. Ye Xing immediately took the elevator and headed for the room.

「Inside Deluxe Private Room 305」

Many of the film crew’s actors had already arrived. They were all cracking melon seeds, watching TV, and making small talk.

Among the actors was a beautiful, vibrant girl of about twenty, who was holding little Erhei and playfully teasing him.

WOOF! WOOF!

Little Erhei’s nose twitched. He suddenly let out two excited barks, leaped from the girl’s arms, and shot out of the private room like a black streak.
