[The Return of Fate] Chapter 181: Riding a Tiger, Difficult to Dismount

Caught in a 　　bind, Ye Nanfei
was getting anxious when a car sped towards them. It was none other than Chou Qiu's Lada. Chou Qiu had been keeping watch outside the dance hall, almost falling asleep from boredom, but it was too cold. Suddenly, he noticed a commotion on the other side of the dance hall, 　　followed by a group of burly men chasing a woman. Of course, he didn't know that the woman was Li Yonghong, but he couldn't 　　keep the two inside from knowing what was happening. He went in to look for her but couldn't find her, so he ran out again, thinking that 　　following along would at least provide intelligence. So he drove over. 　　He arrived just in time. Ye Nanfei quickly handed Li Yonghong over to him and rushed forward. His participation immediately 　　changed the situation. He wasn't satisfied with the performance of the two men earlier. Although they were fighting five people, they were just petty 　　thugs; were they really that difficult to deal with? He fought with remarkable ease, sometimes using speed to overcome slowness, sometimes using stillness to control movement, 　　instructing the two men as he fought: "The key is to stay calm, don't panic, don't be chaotic. Accurately judge your opponent's movements, and your attacks must be 　　quick, precise, and ruthless. When you move, be as swift as a rabbit. If you can finish them off in one move, don't waste two. Especially in this kind of group 　　fight, brute force alone will quickly deplete your energy. Once you're out of energy, even the most fancy moves are useless. One force can 　　overpower ten techniques." 　　It sounded simple, but his effortless fighting style, while undoubtedly due to years of training and experience, was 　　primarily the result of real-world combat training—something no one could match. He nimbly dodged and weaved, 　　taking down two opponents in no time. The three-on-three battle was even more decisive. When only two remained, the two men clearly felt their skills had diminished; how 　　could they possibly withstand his attacks? He had just dodged a punch aimed at his head when he was kicked in the stomach; he 　　had just dodged a kick to the knee when he was punched in the back of the head. 　　He was quickly knocked dizzy and disoriented. Ye Nanfei, enraged by the abuse Li Yonghong had suffered, struck harder, landing a punch on the head. The man swayed twice and fell. 　　There seemed to be more commotion from the direction of the dance hall. Fearing they had reinforcements arriving, Ye Nanfei quickly told them to get in the car and 　　leave. Before leaving, the two men each gave him a final kick. They drove straight to Li Yongxia's house. Once upstairs, he first instructed them to fetch 　　two basins of snow. He was worried Li Yonghong's feet would get frostbite, and warm or hot water was the worst thing to do at this time 　　. The most effective method was to rub the snow or soak them in cool water. 　　As he rubbed the snow, he gave them instructions. He had a premonition that this matter was likely to escalate. He told Tiedan and Chouqiu to 　　find a mule and take the Lada truck out of town, or better yet, bring it back in a different vehicle. Li Zhiguo went to find Minako 　　and Xiaopang. 　　Li Yongxia, contrary to expectations, didn't complain or grumble, but instead helped him with everything. Li Yonghong was still in 　　a daze, with a slight fever. What worried him more was that, given the series of events, if it attracted the attention of Scarface, 　　finding out who was behind it wouldn't be difficult with his current power. If, as Mule predicted, the child had been thrown 　　into the deep mountains to do hard labor, a schoolchild like him would likely be in grave danger. But should he save him or not? 　　If he didn't, his conscience wouldn't be at peace, and he wouldn't be able to explain it to Sister Hua. If he did save him, he had a family, his brothers and sisters 　　, and a sizable business; he didn't want to take such a big risk. He was torn and unable to make a decision. 　　The next day, Ye Nanfei found Sister Hua and explained the situation. Sister Hua was also quite troubled: "If it doesn't work, then call the police. Anyway, we'll 　　know his whereabouts, and we'll have done our best." 　　Ye Nanfei said worriedly, "We can't call the police now. The police need evidence, and that guy 　　has connections in the police. If they find out we called the police, they might just kill him to cover it up. He could just bury him anywhere in the forest, how would we find him? His 　　parents must be worried, right?" 　　"Of course they're worried. Their son is so big, and he's disappeared without a trace. I've kept him under wraps so they don't 　　come looking for you." 　　Ye Nanfei was thinking about whether he could take two people and sneak into the forest to bring him back. He was just 　　worrying about this when someone came looking for him again. Who was it? It was Chen Ru, whom he hadn't seen for quite a while. The beautiful Chen Ru. 　　He didn't have a good impression of this woman. She was beautiful and shrewd, practically a femme fatale. It was 　　better to keep his distance. Who knows when she might sell you out and you'd be helping her count the money. 　　"Hey, Sister Chen Ru, what brings you here? Hehehe." 　　"What? You don't welcome me? If I didn't come, you wouldn't even come to see me, hehehe, I have to take the initiative 　　. I came to have dinner with you, don't make excuses, Haoyu is here too." 　　This woman, she's got all the talking, he really wanted to refuse, but when he heard Zhou Haoyu was there, he had no choice but 　　to go. 　　"I knew I didn't have that much influence, I have to drag Haoyu along. Let's go, let's eat and chat." 　　She was already pretty, and dressed fashionably, making everyone in the shop stare, especially Xiao Li, whose 　　eyes were already full of murderous intent. Now, besides her and Mule's boyfriend, she had hired two more girls, and she had long since considered 　　herself the shop manager. If it weren't for his mother-in-law interfering behind his back, he would really have considered handing the shop over to Xiao Li to run. 　　Just then, a regular customer walked in: "Oh, Brother Wang's here! Xiaojuan, quickly bring out those new styles for 　　Brother Wang to see. We only got a few pairs of these shoes, so we've saved them for you regular customers, hehehe." 　　The customer replied nonchalantly, "Really? Let me see them, hehe. By the way, if you have any good stuff in the future, remember to 　　order from these regular customers, otherwise we'll all come to your place." 　　Ye Nanfei noticed Xiaoli's unfriendly expression and didn't dare to give her any orders, but he still got a glare, and she was 　　muttering something under her breath. Ye Nanfei quickly greeted her and left with Chen Ru. 　　Chen Ru, ever shrewd, quickly took in the situation inside the room: "And your husband? I think I came 　　at the wrong time. Are you alright, haha?" 　　Ye Nanfei blushed crimson with embarrassment: "No... that's my sister-in-law. She's alright, just 　　a bit short-tempered." 　　Chen Ru said with a rich expression: "I don't think it's that simple, haha." 　　Ye Nanfei, flustered, hesitated for a long time, his face growing redder and redder, unable to utter a single word. Chen Ru reacted quickly: 　　"I see you're quite the businessman. That guy who just came in, you made him so arrogant with just a few words. Looks like 　　he'll have to buy something, haha." 　　Ye Nanfei: "Hehehe, everyone has a bit of vanity. You satisfy him a little, you don't lose anything yourself, everyone 　　's happy, isn't that good?" 　　Chen Ru: "Then why haven't you satisfied my vanity? Hehehe, is there something wrong with me?"

"See her?"
Ye Nanfei, embarrassed again, blushed and stammered, "It's not Sister Chen Ru, there isn't one, right..." Neither "yes"
nor "no" seemed appropriate; this woman was too difficult.
A Volga sedan was parked outside. Back then, only a select few could afford a car; people hadn't yet escaped
the concept of class and hierarchy, always thinking this thing wasn't high enough and unworthy of them. She belonged to the group that got rich first; in
today's terms, a tycoon, a nouveau riche. Compared to her, Ye Nanfei was a nobody. The main difference was in their lifestyles
. What she ate, wore, and did every day, while Ye Nanfei, although no longer short of money,
hadn't changed his lifestyle at all; at most, he could eat meat whenever he wanted.
So she treated them to dinner. What they ate wasn't important, but the place had to be extravagant. Just the three of them, and she even booked a
large private room. Ye Nanfei couldn't help but click his tongue. The room fee alone was probably enough for all his brothers to have a meal. They were really country bumpkins
, lacking class. Even if they had money, they were still stingy—a lingering effect of their difficult life.
The three of them sat down. They hadn't seen Zhou Haoyu in a long time and were wondering what he had been busy with. Chen Ru blurted out, "Him? He's really
busy now. He's a big shot in their bureau, and the director's godson. He's the bureau's acknowledged prince.
He manages everything at the bureau and at home. How could he not be busy, right, Haoyu?"
"Don't listen to your sister Ru's nonsense, it's not that strange. As a subordinate, you have to
serve your leader, it's your duty."
Chen Ru said, "There are many subordinates, but not everyone has the opportunity to serve their leader, haha, especially the director's wife.
I've heard her praise you a lot in the circle. With this momentum, you should maintain good relations. Your godfather isn't that old, he
'll definitely be promoted in the next couple of years, and then you'll be in the top position."
The three chatted about this and that, and after a few rounds of drinks and dishes, Ye Nanfei couldn't help but ask, "Sister Ru, you must have
something to ask me for. We're not strangers, no need to be shy or secretive. If I can do it, I will definitely help." He
knew perfectly well that if Chen Ru, such a capable person, couldn't do something for him, she must be someone important.
Chen Ru didn't mince words: "To be honest, I really need your help, and it's something only you can handle. Neither of us can do it
." As she spoke, she took out a letter and several photos: "Do you recognize the people in the photos?"
Ye Nanfei didn't recognize them at all, shaking his head repeatedly. However, he understood the letter; it was a report accusing
someone, presumably a leader, of accepting bribes and embezzling money, described in great detail, though he didn't know if it was true. Ye Nanfei
finished reading and looked at Chen Ru curiously. Then he handed the things to Zhou Haoyu, feeling that since Chen Ru had brought him here,
she wouldn't hide anything from him.
But Zhou Haoyu was very particular and didn't accept: "Some things are better left unsaid, haha. Since
I can't help, I'll just keep quiet."
Chen Ru said, "These photos were sent to her by someone threatening to release them. This whistleblower letter is also against her.
She wants you to help her find out who did it, preferably the mastermind."
Ye Nanfei's head started spinning: "Sister, this is the police's job. Which eye of yours thinks I can handle
this? Don't even mention this, just what I was talking about with you two earlier, it still dragged on and couldn't be completely cleaned up."
Chen Ru brought out her trump card: "I think you're capable. Needless to say, this can't be handed over to the police, that would be the same as making the scandal
public, and what they're asking for is..." "Keep it a secret. I saw your skills when we worked together last time. My judgment
is spot on. And I won't let you work for free. Once you find out, you won't have to worry about the rest. Five thousand beforehand,
five thousand afterward. Besides, you're afraid of Scarface now because he has powerful backers.
The person asking you for a favor is no less powerful than his backers. If you succeed and get back on that big tree, why would you be afraid of him?"
Zhou Haoyu nodded repeatedly: "If I were you, I'd do it even without pay. It's a rare opportunity. Building this connection
will be incredibly beneficial."
Hearing this, Ye Nanfei had to take it seriously. He could earn money and build connections at the same time.
In a society like China, connections truly allow you to go anywhere, and without them, you can't move an inch. And so, he took on another job.
He himself sighed, wondering if he was just taking on random jobs with a broken car.
The next questioning was very detailed. It was clear someone was trying to sabotage the person involved, or to bring her down,
or a leader. They would likely target two areas: bribery or misconduct. But
the person involved is a woman. For an ordinary woman, having an affair is difficult. First, she might not even be able to pass her own test.
Even if she's innocent, she's afraid of public opinion and safety concerns—various constraints exist. Once you become a leader, you
need to be even more self-disciplined.
Moreover, leaders need to project authority and integrity, which most people respect and keep at a distance. This is even more true for female leaders.
Misconduct is difficult to investigate. Although you don't have any flaws, they'll look at your husband. Her husband is a university
professor, and the photos show intimate moments between him and several women. How much this proves is uncertain
, but it's likely to ruin your reputation. Some photos show him being intimate with women outdoors, and the most serious is
an indoor photo—very ambiguous and suggestive.
Ye Nanfei confirmed the location and people in the photo with her. It seemed they could only
start with the clues left in the photo. The tip-off letter was difficult to trace, but the notes might be useful. He accepted the job.
When Chen Ru gave him the money, she politely declined, saying, "Just take it. If this is done, the money is nothing. This is what you
deserve. Take it. Whether it's done or not, it's fine, but you must keep it a secret."
Ye Nanfei accepted the money, feeling somewhat comforted. At least he could explain to the women that he wasn't
just wasting his time; he had an income from this.
But now he had two things to do at the same time. Which one to do first? How to do them? A mix of old and new worries flooded his mind
