Since that's the case, I might as well live it up a bit...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that what you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan looked at Guo Shuai, \"You're planning to give up on yourself?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Shuai argued, \"How is this giving up on myself? I'm just trying to live a different way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan stared deeply at Guo Shuai for several seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you thought this through carefully?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Shuai grinned, \"Made up my mind, no regrets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan said nothing more and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Chen Fan leave, Tian Ji came over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shuai, is this the Brother Fan you often told me about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why didn't you explain things properly to him? Last night you were...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Shuai smiled and cut him off: \"Don't worry. Brother Fan is not that kind of person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In this world, if there's still one person I can trust, it must be Brother Fan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Shuai patted Tian Ji's shoulder: \"Alright. Don't worry about this for now, keep looking for Ah Biao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That bastard was injured and ran away last night, we must make sure he never dares to show up in Yunhai again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got it. I've got the brothers watching him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Shuai glanced in the direction Chen Fan had left, and sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Shuai originally thought Chen Fan might need some time to cool off, but unexpectedly, within just three days, Chen Fan called to meet up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the meeting place was at a bar called Red Rose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Guo Shuai arrived, the bar was empty, not yet open for business in the middle of the day, with only Chen Fan sitting at the counter drinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Fan? What's going on? Why'd you ask to meet here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Shuai walked in with a smile, curiously looking around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Want a drink? The bar's not open during the day though.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he walked up to Chen Fan and sat down, Chen Fan flung something over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Shuai reflexively caught it, realizing it was a set of keys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This bar, it's yours from now on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan then pushed a document on the counter over to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Shuai blankly looked at the line of text, immediately seeing it was a purchase agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You...me...Brother Fan, what's this about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Shuai stared dumbfounded, not quite understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan turned his head to look at Guo Shuai, staring at him for two seconds before speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know why you did what you did.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Guo, I don't want you to get involved in my feud with the Zhao family. But now that you've decided to walk this path, I won't stop you either...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan pointed at the purchase agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know what you all were thinking, but your previous actions were too reckless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Zhao family is no ordinary family, they have great influence in Yunhai. If you keep acting like that, sooner or later the Zhao family will find out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This bar is a gift from me. From now on, you're the boss here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No matter how you want to proceed in the future, you need to stabilize first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Guo Shuai about to speak, Chen Fan raised his hand to cut him off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know what you're thinking, you want to help me, and I'm grateful. But as brothers, I don't want anything to happen to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, listen to me, stabilize first, then take it slow going forward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if you want to help me in the future, you'll need to have enough strength first. Otherwise, what use are just you and those dozen guys?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Shuai's eyes lit up, clearly understanding the meaning in Chen Fan's words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Fan, don't worry. I know what to do now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From now on, you and I will be the light and dark sides. Anything you can't handle, I'll do it for you. I'm willing to be the blade in your hand...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's just the Zhao family, we'll take them down!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan helplessly tapped the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For now, just think about how to run this bar. Don't let others take it from you before you can even hold on to your own place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Shuai laughed heartily, \"No way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Red Rose, what a girly name.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Fan, can I change the name?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan poured himself a drink, \"You're the bar owner now, change it however you want.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Shuai thought seriously for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about calling it Glorious Years?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To commemorate our brotherhood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan raised his glass to clink with Guo Shuai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have no objections.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so the bar's name was decided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Giving the bar to Guo Shuai, Chen Fan just wanted to give this guy something to do, maybe after some time he would change himself and gradually settle down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the bar, Chen Fan rode his bike back to school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He originally planned to return to the dorm room, but unexpectedly ran into a familiar face on campus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Ling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She clearly noticed Chen Fan as well, holding a file bag to block his path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan tried to move aside, but Fang Ling immediately stepped over to block him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan could only stop awkwardly and greet her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Sister, what a coincidence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Ling had a half-smiling expression on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Coincidence? We haven't been in contact for months.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chen Fan, is it that if I don't reach out to you, you won't contact me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course not,\" Chen Fan shook his head decisively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I...I've just been too busy lately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Ling smiled without calling him out, \"I remember someone still owes me a meal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's been so long, surely that person isn't going to break his promise?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan recalled, it did seem there was such a thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That time on Su Ruochu's birthday, Fang Ling called to tell him that the person who killed Huang Xiaobo was Zhao Longqi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also helped him find information on those killers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, he did seem to promise to owe her a favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remembering this, Chen Fan immediately grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course I haven't forgotten. Senior Sister, whenever you have time, I'll treat you to a meal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have time right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Chen Fan's awkward look, Fang Ling teased with a smile, \"What?
