These compliments made Li Fang feel very satisfied. Unable to suppress this feeling of satisfaction, a proud and shy smile appeared on her face, and she said a bit bashfully, "Where is that so."

Seeing that Li Fang had been flattered to the point of being a bit carried away, Zhao Desan struck while the iron was hot and further complimented her, "Really, Sister Li, I, Comrade Xiao Zhao, have seen so many women, but you are the one who has left the deepest impression on me."

Hu Tao saw that Li Fang had been fooled by Zhao Desan's sweet talk to the point of being a bit confused, so he tapped on the window in the back room, as a reminder to Li Fang not to be deceived by Zhao Desan's sweet talk.

Hearing a strange 'ding' sound from the back room, Li Fang immediately braced herself, and Zhao Desan's train of thought was also interrupted by the sound from the back room. He looked strangely in the direction of the sound and asked Li Fang, "Sister Li, is there another room inside?"

"Yes, there is a small space." Since Zhao Desan had already discovered there was a room inside, Li Fang felt she couldn't just lie through her teeth.

Because of the noise just now, Zhao Desan decided to get up and go in to take a look, so he said while getting up, "There seems to be movement inside?"

Seeing Zhao Desan's move, Li Fang realized that this guy was going to the back room, so she quickly stood up, smiled in a panicked manner, pressed his shoulder to make him sit down, and said, "Don't worry about it. It's just piled up with some messy trash inside, maybe it's a mouse. It's dirty, don't worry about it." As she said this, just in case, Li Fang walked up, pulled the door of the back room shut, and directly pulled out the key, secretly putting it into her pants pocket, before turning back to sit down. She said to Zhao Desan as if nothing had happened, "Actually, the shop area is just this big, and there happens to be a little space inside, which is used to pile up useless trash."

Although Li Fang's every word and action seemed extremely cautious, in her view, Zhao Desan wouldn't notice anything. But she underestimated Zhao Desan too much. His greatest strength was observing words and expressions. Since entering the door, he felt that Li Fang's facial reactions and behavior were a bit different from the young woman he knew who was decisive in her style of doing things. When he discovered Li Fang's move of pulling the back room door shut and pulling out the key, he felt even more that Li Fang was a bit strange today. Coupled with the noise that just came from the back room, Zhao Desan thought of a point that best explained Li Fang's abnormality today—that is, there were other people in the beauty salon, and that person was in the back room. Needless to say, since it was to avoid meeting him, this person must be a man, and a man with an unusual relationship with Li Fang. Who could this man be? To be honest, Zhao Desan hadn't thought it was Hu Tao at this moment, but was guessing wildly with a suspicious mood.

After Li Fang sat down, she brewed for a long time and asked Zhao Desan, "Comrade Xiao Zhao, you didn't have any trouble on the way here today, did you?" She wanted to fish for information about what happened on the way, but didn't know how to start, so she could only ask him euphemistically.

Regarding Li Fang's question, Zhao Desan was stunned for a moment, feeling confused. She had already asked this on the phone, why ask again after meeting? "Nothing happened?" Zhao Desan looked at her like a monk who couldn't figure it out, and then when he picked up the teacup, he suddenly saw a familiar mobile phone placed on the second tray of the coffee table. He recalled it slightly in his mind and thought of the mobile phone Hu Tao had held before.

Li Fang's abnormal reaction, Hu Tao's mobile phone, the noise from the back room, and Li Fang's inexplicable question—these factors combined immediately made Zhao Desan's mind suddenly enlightened. The fog in his mind finally dissipated, and the whole truth was revealed. He made a slight deduction in his heart, connected all these factors together, and came to such a conclusion: Hu Tao wanted to take revenge on him, so he arranged for the thugs who often cooperated with their company for demolition to ambush him on the way. In order to lure the snake out of the hole, this guy used his lecherous nature, let Li Fang pretend to be a strange woman to call and make an appointment with him, and then let those thugs ambush him on the way here.

Yes, the whole process should be like this. Only when these factors fit together like this can they reflect the value of their appearance. Zhao Desan understood completely in his heart. When the truth was revealed, he suddenly felt a sense of extreme failure in his heart. He originally thought that Li Fang would miss the lingering and crazy night they had once had. He didn't expect that she was just a chess piece in Hu Tao's hand, at his mercy, and would even cooperate with him to frame himself.

Thinking of all this, Zhao Desan was furious, but he knew that Hu Tao was secretly observing every move outside in the room inside at this moment. Suddenly, Zhao Desan had a brilliant plan, and thought: Damn it, aren't you playing with me? I'll play with you properly today! Thinking this, he tried his best to restrain his angry emotions, still with an expression of knowing nothing, and then feigned as if he suddenly thought of something, and said to Li Fang, "Oh, by the way, Sister Li, I encountered a little accident on the way here today..."

Sure enough, after Zhao Desan took the initiative to extend the topic to the theme Li Fang wanted to inquire about, he saw Li Fang quickly ask with great interest, "What accident happened?"

Seeing Li Fang's impatient look to know, Zhao Desan knew that Li Fang could come out to pick him up to the beauty salon and ask these questions, it must be that Hu Tao hiding inside wanted to know the specific situation, so he began to describe the scene at that time vividly and meticulously, and added fuel to the fire, describing the whole process of the incident as thrilling, as if it were a black-on-black gang fight.

While he was telling it eloquently, he occasionally paid attention to observing Li Fang's facial changes, and saw that her expression sometimes became nervous and uneasy, and sometimes revealed a look of relief.

With Zhao Desan's storytelling-like narration, Li Fang gradually became immersed in it. Listening to Zhao Desan's description, the picture at that time began to form in her mind. Zhao Desan in the picture was like a hero, making Li Fang have a feeling of admiration from the bottom of her heart.

"Finally, I did a mid-air side kick, and that boss was kicked by me into the ditch on the side of the road..." Zhao Desan took all the credit for being able to escape unscathed to himself.

As Li Fang listened, she became a bit skeptical. She frowned, looked at him with some confusion, and said, "You defeated ten people by yourself?"

Zhao Desan had a confident smile on his face and said, "Sister Li, you underestimate me, Comrade Xiao Zhao. Let alone ten, even if ten more came, I would still be able to escape unscathed!"

Hearing Zhao Desan say this, Li Fang, who was still skeptical, became even more disbelieving. She curled her lips and said, "Alright, stop bragging! Do you think you're Bruce Lee?"

Even Hu Tao, who had already been reported the situation at that time by that 'Second Brother', was hiding in the back room and sneering at Zhao Desan's narration, cursing inwardly: Damn! You brat! Eating iron wire and pulling a sieve, you can really make things up!

Zhao Desan was a bit dry-mouthed from bragging. He secretly glanced at the window connected to the back room from the corner of his eye, and saw the curtain behind the window move. He pretended not to see anything, picked up the teacup, took a sip of water, and then continued to say to Li Fang unhurriedly, "Sister Li, don't disbelieve it. Do you know what fighting is about?"

Li Fang blurted out, "Skill. I know you, Comrade Xiao Zhao, have agile skills, but no matter how agile you are, two fists are no match for four hands. I doubt you defeated ten people by yourself, and you're still bragging that twenty people are no match for you. Only a ghost would believe that!"

Li Fang's words didn't make Zhao Desan feel uncomfortable. Instead, he smiled confidently and said unhurriedly, "Sister Li, you only said part of it. Agile fighting skills are only part of it. The most important thing is to rely on this." As he said this, he pointed to his head and added, "Fighting is not just a simple physical job, but even more of a mental job. If I had to use brute force to fight those ten people, I definitely wouldn't have been able to win. But at that time, I directly used the car to flip their car into the ditch. With their whole car of people pressed inside, I was like a single man holding the pass against ten thousand. I knocked one out as they came out. Wasn't it very easy to solve five of them? The remaining five were definitely no match for me. Those three-legged cat skills were easily put down by me in a few moves!"

Hearing Zhao Desan's profound understanding of fighting, Li Fang finally dispelled the suspicion in her heart. Besides, she looked at Zhao Desan sitting in front of her unscathed, and had to believe that he was completely in the upper hand at that time, otherwise he couldn't have appeared here so spotless. "Then... then what exactly happened? Why did those people follow you? Who... who sent them?" Li Fang asked directly about a question she cared about most, waiting for his answer with some trepidation. If Zhao Desan found out from those people that this was arranged by Hu Tao, then with Zhao Desan's intelligence, he would definitely connect it with her, so Li Fang was terrified of these questions, and cold sweat broke out on her back while waiting for Zhao Desan to answer.

Zhao Desan was smarter than the average person after all. Seeing Li Fang's panicked expression, he knew why she asked these questions. He wanted to let Li Fang relax a little, so it would be convenient to deal with her on the spot in front of Hu Tao later. He feigned viciously, "Damn, that leading guy's mouth was really hard. No matter how I tortured him, he just wouldn't say!"
