Chapter 337

Chu Tian's assistance to the Dapu District is obvious to all.

He unified the underground world of the Dapu District and reduced the incidence of crimes such as fighting and brawling.

Therefore,

Hong Ruiqi did not want Chu Tian to die at the hands of capital for no reason like this,

and then let the Dapu District turn back into that chaotic, lawless area it once was.

That is why he specifically called over to kindly offer a reminder.

"Thank you, Commissioner Hong, I will be careful."

Even without Hong Ruiqi saying anything, Chu Tian would have been on his guard.

After all, his grudge with Lian Haolong had already reached the point of no return.

Afterwards, Chu Tian and Hong Ruiqi chatted for a few more moments before hanging up the phone directly.

After hanging up, Chu Tian walked straight up to the third floor.

Ruan Mei, wearing a purple-red cheongsam, was sitting at the desk with her head lowered, reading a book in her hands. Her brows were slightly furrowed, looking pitiful and endearing.

It was unclear whether Ruan Mei was too focused on her reading or if Chu Tian's movements were too light.

Even as Chu Tian walked in, Ruan Mei did not make a single sound.

A playful mood suddenly struck Chu Tian; he moved even more softly, quietly circled behind the focused Ruan Mei, and scooped her up in his arms.

"Ah~"

Startled, Ruan Mei first let out a cry of surprise, but upon sensing that familiar scent, a sweet smile immediately bloomed on her face.

"Brother Tian, you're back."

Ruan Mei tilted her head back, pressed her chin against Chu Tian's left cheek, and rubbed against him as she spoke.

"Yes, just got back. How about it, are you tired from studying today?"

Chu Tian looked down at the book on the desk; it was a book related to accounting.

Chu Tian had sent Ruan Mei to university specifically so she could acquire skills, stay by his side, and help him handle matters within her capabilities.

"Not tired, not tired at all. Besides, I feel like if I study for another month or two, I'll be able to help you with your work, Brother Tian."

Ruan Mei smiled and shook her head.

Chu Tian had cured her grandmother,

sent her to school, and provided her with a comfortable environment.

Therefore, Ruan Mei was doing her utmost to repay Chu Tian.

Consequently, she was exceptionally diligent in her studies.

In less than half a month, she had not only finished the knowledge content for this semester but had even started studying for the next.

By her own estimation, in about two months, she would have a solid grasp of accounting.

By then, she would be able to help Chu Tian handle affairs.

"Truly impressive." Upon hearing this, a satisfied smile immediately appeared on Chu Tian's face.

He saw all of Ruan Mei's efforts in his eyes.

"Then what reward do you want?"

"Hmm, no, Brother Tian, you are the best reward."

Ruan Mei hurriedly shook her head and said earnestly.

"Oh! Is that so?"

Chu Tian gave a mischievous smile and looked straight at Ruan Mei.

Ruan Mei immediately realized that Chu Tian had misunderstood, and a flush of crimson instantly appeared on her face.

However, she did not refuse; instead, she wrapped her arms around Chu Tian's neck and offered a passionate kiss.

Chu Tian naturally could not resist such provocation; he reached out with his right hand, scooped Ruan Mei up from behind, and walked toward the bedroom.

An hour later, Ruan Mei was fast asleep in bed, while Chu Tian walked out of the bedroom feeling refreshed and returned to the office.

However, Feng Baobao had run off somewhere, and he was alone in the office. Feeling bored, Chu Tian went back down to the first-floor bar to drink.

It was already past six in the evening, and the bar had begun business. People were arriving in groups one after another.

The entire bar began to grow noisy, and colorful neon lights moved wantonly.

Chu Tian was in the midst of it, enjoying this atmosphere of decadence.

However, just as Chu Tian closed his eyes and swayed his wine glass to the rhythm of the music in the bar,

a hand suddenly patted his shoulder.

Chu Tian frowned, feeling very annoyed, because someone had actually dared to disturb him at this moment!!!

His expression turned grave, like a lion about to fly into a rage, as he turned his head.

What came into view was Crow, with his slanted bangs and earthy-yellow skin.

Standing beside Crow was Laughing Tiger, wearing a white suit.

Behind the two of them followed quite a few underlings.

At this moment, Crow's left hand was resting on Chu Tian's shoulder.

Clearly, it was Crow who had just disturbed Chu Tian.

Chu Tian turned his head and stared coldly at Crow.

The words that had been on the tip of Crow's tongue were swallowed back down; he fearfully withdrew his left hand, looking somewhat at a loss.

Seeing it was Crow, Chu Tian couldn't be bothered to argue with him. After taking a light sip of red wine, he asked casually:

"Crow, Ah Wei, what interests you two to come to my turf again today???"

"Isn't it just that we were idle with nothing to do, so we came to find you for some fun?"

Crow was still a bit stunned and didn't respond. Seeing this, Laughing Tiger hurriedly joked.

"That's great then!!!" Chu Tian laughed out loud after hearing this:

"You two helped me take out Lei Yaoyang and Situ Haonan the day before yesterday; I was just thinking of thanking you.

It just so happens you've come. Come, I'll treat you to drinks.

Have as much as you want; today's bill is on me!!!"

Hearing this, both Crow and Laughing Tiger couldn't help but look deeply at Chu Tian, cursing inwardly:

"What a skinflint.

Damn it, we risked our lives to help you take out those two dangerous characters, Situ Haonan and Lei Yaoyang.

You're just treating us to drinks and have no other gesture???"

However, on the surface, neither of them dared to show even the slightest dissatisfaction.

"Then we won't stand on ceremony."

Laughing Tiger waved his hand, called over a bar attendant, and told him to bring out all the fruit wine from behind the bar.

Crow leaned in close to Chu Tian and said with a grin:

"Handsome Tian, you're not being generous. How is just wine enough? Aren't there any women?"

"Women? Of course there are. What kind of women do you want?"

"Big and exciting, preferably foreign ones with big waves."

Crow winked and gestured at Chu Tian.

"You like foreign chicks too? I don't have those."

Chu Tian glanced at Crow, not expecting him to have such a taste.

Then he signaled to an underling nearby to go find some hostesses to come over.

"You're still the one who understands!"

Crow put his arm around Chu Tian's shoulder, looking like they were best buddies.

"Hahaha, tell me, what did you come here for today? I don't believe you two came specifically to play."

Chu Tian didn't respond but crossed his arms and looked at the two with a smile.

These two were both old foxes; they wouldn't visit without a reason. How could they have come to his turf just to play?

Seeing Chu Tian say this, the two stopped beating around the bush. After exchanging a glance, Laughing Tiger stepped forward and said:

"Handsome Tian, we've already solved Situ Haonan and Lei Yaoyang for you.

But after those two died, their territories became vacant.

How do you think we should handle this???"
