At this time, the waiter brought coffee over. Yang Xiaoqiao did not take the cup, but stood up, reached out to grab her purse, and prepared to leave. Fang Zhicheng quickly reacted, stood up, reached out and pressed Yang Xiaoqiao's shoulder, and gently advised: "Miss Yang, don't be in a hurry to leave so quickly. Wait until you finish this cup of coffee before leaving."

Yang Xiaoqiao hesitated for a while, sighed, touched the coffee cup with one hand, stirred the coffee with a spoon with the other, nodded and looked at the table, and remained silent.

Fang Zhicheng did not press on, but looked out the window, observing Yang Xiaoqiao from time to time. In fact, he had already learned about Yang Xiaoqiao's family in detail. She was born in a wealthy family. A year ago, her father failed in business and committed suicide by jumping off a building because he could not stand the repeated debt collection from creditors. Originally, Yang Xiaoqiao had good grades and was expected to be admitted to a key undergraduate college, but changes in her family caused her grades to plummet. In the end, she chose an art school and entered Yuming Performing Arts School.

Fang Zhicheng speculated that it was even closely related to underground money houses. The suicide due to debt collection by creditors might be caused by the usury that Yang's father had borrowed.

Twenty minutes passed, and Yang Xiaoqiao was surprised that Fang Zhicheng never asked a single question. This awkward atmosphere made her feel that something was wrong. Why did the young man opposite her ask about her relationship with Zhao Heping? Could it be that he wanted to get in touch with Zhao Heping through her

Yang Xiaoqiao was unsure of Fang Zhicheng's intentions, so her curiosity kept growing. Finally, she took the initiative to ask, "Why do you want to find Zhao Heping? If you want him to help you through me, I'm afraid you will be disappointed because I don't have that kind of influence."

Fang Zhicheng saw that Yang Xiaoqiao had finally let down her guard, and she actually thought that she was hoping to find Zhao Heping for help, so he played along and said, "Miss Yang, you just need to help me contact Secretary Zhao. As for the rest, how about I communicate with Secretary Zhao? As far as I know, you are very close to Secretary Zhao. It would be even better if you could say a few good words for me in front of me. If I can get things done, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

Yang Xiaoqiao did not answer Fang Zhicheng immediately. Her expression suddenly became complicated. After hesitating for a long time, she finally sighed and said, "Can you please listen to me? Don't have anything to do with Zhao Heping. This person is very treacherous. Once you get close to him, he will only use you or even frame you."

Fang Zhicheng was very surprised to hear Yang Xiaoqiao suddenly say this. He frowned and asked, "Miss Yang, why do you say that?"

Yang Xiaoqiao bit her red lips, slowly took off her glasses, a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes, and she whispered: "My family was ruined by Zhao Heping. I don't know what you want from him, but I just hope you can take care of yourself. I'm leaving!" After saying this, Yang Xiaoqiao left decisively, leaving only her pretty figure behind.

Fang Zhicheng was originally just trying to test Yang Xiaoqiao today to see what her relationship with Zhao Heping was. Analyzing from the current situation, it seems that Yang Xiaoqiao and Zhao Heping have a deep hatred for each other. So why is Yang Xiaoqiao so close to Zhao Heping

Countless questions popped up, and Fang Zhicheng thought of many possibilities in an instant. He drank the last sip of coffee, sighed leisurely, and thought to himself that he still needed to meet with Yang Xiaoqiao again and communicate more thoroughly before he could find a breakthrough.

It was already 4:30 when Fang Zhicheng got home. He called Qin Yuming, who asked with doubt in her heart, "How was your search for Yang Xiaoqiao?"

Fang Zhicheng shrugged and sighed, "The situation is quite complicated. I may have to meet her again."

Qin Yuming sighed and said, "Xiao Qiao is a good student. As her teacher, I need to protect her, so..."

Seeing that Qin Yuming was about to speak but hesitated, Fang Zhicheng quickly interrupted her and said, "Don't worry, I know my limits and won't hurt her. By the way, is Sister Wei still in Yinzhou? How about I treat you two to dinner tonight?"

Qin Yuming was slightly startled, and said with a smile: "Why do you want to treat me to a meal? Is there something happy?"

Fang Zhicheng said lightly: "Don't think too much about it. I just think that eating out occasionally is good for improving our relationship."

Qin Yuming raised her eyebrows and muttered, "What a twisted theory!"

In the evening, Qin Yuming had dinner at the newly opened Yufeng Restaurant. She not only brought Shen Wei, but also Xu Huan. Fang Zhicheng was a little embarrassed when he saw Xu Huan, but he was very strong in his heart. It was Xu Huan who kept blushing and didn't dare to look at Fang Zhicheng for too long. After dinner, Fang Zhicheng finally knew why Xu Huan was called. It turned out that Shen Wei was going to play mahjong and was afraid that there would be one less person, so she counted Xu Huan.

Although Fang Zhicheng had good luck at the mahjong table, he was not very interested in this national quintessence. However, he could not resist Shen Wei's enthusiasm and could only play a few rounds patiently. However, because he was distracted, his card skills plummeted and he made mistakes one after another, which caused Shen Wei to lose money continuously.

"Ouch!" Fang Zhicheng suddenly felt a sharp pain in his calf. He couldn't help but screamed, then looked at the other three women at the table and asked, "Who was the one who played the dirty trick just now?"

Shen Wei snorted softly, her eyes wide open as she said, "It's me! I saw that you were drowsy and sleepy, so I kicked you to wake you up."

Qin Yuming chuckled and gently advised Fang Zhicheng, "Zhicheng, you really need to pay more attention. You caused Weiwei to lose a lot. It's natural for her to complain."

Fang Zhicheng sighed, twisted his mouth, and snorted, "I'm letting you do this on purpose. If I really get serious, I'm afraid you'll lose interest because you'll lose interest."

When Shen Wei heard Fang Zhicheng talking like this, she frowned slightly and said angrily, "Too arrogant! I've been playing mahjong for so many years, and I've never seen anyone so arrogant."

Fang Zhicheng glared back at Shen Wei, still feeling the burning pain in his calf. He rolled his eyes again, and came up with a plan, saying, "It's boring to just play with money. I'm proposing that in addition to the money, we should also add a bet!"

Qin Yuming asked doubtfully, "What's the bet?"

Fang Zhicheng smirked, glanced at Shen Wei provocatively, and suggested: "From now on, those who set off fireworks will not only have to pay, but also take off their clothes. For each fireworks, one piece of clothing will be taken off. How about that?"

Xu Huan's face suddenly turned red, and he whispered: "This is not good..."

"What's the problem?" Shen Wei snorted, "According to Zhicheng's luck today, I'm afraid he will be stripped naked. Xu Huan, don't be afraid. This bet is only for Fang Zhicheng and I to abide by, and the rest of you can ignore it!"

Fang Zhicheng gave Shen Wei a thumbs up and praised with a smile: "Sister Wei, you are so generous! By the way, there is another situation. If you touch yourself, the other person has to take off his clothes too!"

Shen Wei rolled her eyes at Fang Zhicheng and said lightly, "Everything will be done according to your wishes, but don't cheat."

Shen Wei was very confident in her card skills, and from today's game, she could tell that Fang Zhicheng had bad luck today. If they were to compete seriously, how could she be afraid of him

Then the game continued. After about three rounds, Fang Zhicheng and Shen Wei both made a few shots, so they took off their coats and sweaters. Qin Yuming saw that Fang Zhicheng and Shen Wei were only in their underwear, and she advised helplessly: "How about we end the bet here? The weather is so cold, even if the air conditioner is on, it would be bad if you catch a cold."

Xu Huan also nodded, picked up a card and played it, then smiled and said, "Brother Cheng, you are such a jerk, always thinking of taking advantage of me, it doesn't matter if you, a grown man, take off all your clothes..."

Shen Wei reached out and touched a card, a confident smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said: "Xu Huan, thank you for your righteous words, but the loser today will not be me, but him. I'll draw it myself!" After that, she pushed the card away, turned her wrist, and placed a "middle" on the card. Sure enough, she got a bad hand.

Fang Zhicheng coughed lightly, touched his nose, and whispered, "I'm willing to admit defeat, let's continue!"

He stood up quickly and took off his trousers neatly.

The other three women screamed and covered their faces shyly. Shen Wei was so angry that she grabbed a piece of mahjong in front of her and threw it at Fang Zhicheng.

Fang Zhicheng took a few steps back and dodged it easily, with a smug smile on his face, saying, "Looks like I still win!"

Chapter 0307: Digging Out the Victims of the Money Bank

Fang Zhicheng was still wearing a pair of long johns. After taking off his outer pants, he was not too exposed. Shen Wei blushed, covered her eyes, and spat in a low voice: "The bet doesn't count, put on your pants quickly."

Fang Zhicheng laughed proudly and said, "This is what you said, Sister Wei, it's not that I don't abide by the agreement."

Shen Wei snorted, her eyes rolled, and she said angrily: "I just want you to play cards more seriously, not to see you take off your clothes. You are a stinky man, what's so good about you? I don't care."
