Zhan Yihan took the cup of tea from him and took a sip of tea before saying, “There’s something else that I would like to enlist your help with.” His main purpose of looking for Yang Tao this time, was for that matter.

“Why are you being so polite given our friendship? Just tell me if you need something,” Yang Tao said with a smile. Back in school, he and Zhan Yihan were considered best friends.

“It’s like this…” Zhan Yihan explained the matter that he needed Yang Tao’s help with.

After hearing him out, Yang Tao thumped his chest and said, “You can leave this small matter to me. I’ll definitely settle it for you.”

Zhan Yihan stretched out his hand to pat Yang Tao on the shoulder and thanked him, “Thank you!”

Seeing Zhan Yihan and Yang Tao walking out while talking and laughing, the Zhan family members were all slightly astonished.

“I’m Yang Tao. I was classmates with Brother Zhan in the past, and also the Chief of this police station,” Yang Tao introduced himself to all of them.

Zhan Yiping’s eyes lit up, and she enthusiastically stretched out her hand as she said, “Hello, Big Brother Yang! I’m Zhan Yiping, Zhan Yihan’s younger sister.” Big Brother is so amazing. He even knows the Chief of the police station.

Yang Tao shook hands with Zhan Yiping and said with a smile, “Since you call me Big Brother Yang, then don’t be so polite with me in the future. Just come to me if you need anything.”

“Thank you, Big Brother Yang,” Zhan Yiping said happily while nodding. If her classmates knew that she was acquainted with the Chief of the county police station, wouldn’t they be super envious of her?

Yang Tao smiled and took out a note and handed it to Zhan Dafeng, “Uncle Zhan, if you need anything in the future, you can call the phone number on this note.” He owed Zhan Yihan his life. If Zhan Yihan’s family needed help in any way, he would definitely lend a helping hand.

“Oh!” Zhan Dafeng felt overwhelmingly flattered as he took the note from him. He had not expected his son to be so capable such that he even knew the Chief of the police station.

After leaving the police station, Zhan Yihan sent all of them back to the place where they had gotten off the bullock cart and said, “You guys go on back. I’ll go to the railway station alone.” If he continued delaying, he would not be able to catch the train today.

“Yihan, you must be careful when you’re outside. Send us a letter when you arrive in the army.” Reluctant to part with him, Wang Meizhen held Zhan Yihan’s hand with tears welling up in her eyes. She was very reluctant to part with him so quickly.

“I will.” Zhan Yihan nodded in response. He was also unwilling to be separated from them.

Turning his head to look at Su Jinyue, his deep eyes filled with a deep reluctance to part with her as he said, “I’m leaving now. Remember to call me.” The biggest reward he received on this trip back home was his engagement with her, giving him something else to miss in his heart.

“Okay!” Su Jinyue smiled and nodded. She was extremely reluctant to part with him, but what could she do? They had to part when it was time to part. She can only hope that their next meeting would be sooner rather than later.

Zhan Yihan looked deeply at Su Jinyue before nodding to everybody and walking towards the bus stop.

Su Jinyue reluctantly withdrew her gaze until Zhan Yihan could no longer be seen.

“Uncle Li hasn’t come yet, let’s go to Lu Chang Restaurant to eat a bowl of noodles,” Zhan Yilin suggested. It had been a long time since he had eaten Lu Chang Restaurant’s noodles time, and he was ravenous just from thinking about it.

“Okay!” Zhan Yifeng and Zhan Yiping agreed at the same time.

Wang Meizhen and Zhan Dafeng looked at each other and said, “Let’s go and eat then.” It was also rare for them to come to the county, so they might as well be extravagant this once.

The group of them arrived at Lu Chang Restaurant. Although it was not meal time yet, there were a lot of people eating noodles in the shop.

“Uncle Zhan, Aunty Zhan, take a look and see what noodles you want to eat.” Su Jinyue looked at Wang Meizhen and Zhan Dafeng and said, Although she did not have much money, she still had money for a few bowls of noodles. They were her family now, so she naturally wouldn’t be stingy with that money.

“Jinyue, we’ll pay for the noodles. Don’t fight with us over the bill,” Zhan Dafeng said. They would be embarrassed to let her pay for it.

“Dad, since Su Jinyue wants to pay for it, just let her pay,” Zhan Yiping said. Even if Su Jinyue did not pay the bill, she would not let her parents pay for Su Jinyue. Su Jinyue was not one of them, so why should they have to treat her to noodles? It was nice that she was tactful enough.

Wang Meizhen glared at Zhan Yiping. She then looked at Su Jinyue and said, “Jinyue, we accept your kind intentions, but let us pay for this meal.”

“Aunty Zhan, you don’t need to be polite. I’ll pay for this meal,” Su Jinyue decided. She knew that Zhan Yiping objected to her, and neither did she like Zhan Yiping very much. However, she would not be calculative with a child who had yet to grow up. In her heart, Zhan Yiping was just a child who had not grown up. Otherwise, she would not have obeyed Song Yiren’s words in her past life and ended up getting harmed to that state because of Song Yiren.

“That would be rude,” Wang Meizhen said embarrassedly as she became more pleased with Su Jinyue in her heart.

“Aunty Zhan, don’t you take me as your family?” Su Jinyue asked, pretending to be sad.

Wang Meizhen smiled and shook her head as she said resignedly, “Okay! Okay! I won’t fight with you about it any more, lass!” She was extremely pleased to have a daughter-in-law like that.

After everyone finished ordering their food, Su Jinyue also ordered a bowl of noodles. In her past life, she often came to this noodle shop when she was in the county, and she quite missed the taste of it.

Not long after all of them sat down, the noodles were served.

“These noodles smell delicious. The noodles we make at home are not comparable.” Picking up the chopsticks, Zhan Dafeng grabbed some noodles with the chopsticks and put them into his mouth. “Delicious, the noodles are al dente and there’s a slight chewiness to it.”

Wang Meizhen nodded in agreement, “I wonder what base ingredient is used that makes this soup taste so fresh.”

Zhan Yiping saw the guests at the next table glancing sideways at them. Her brows furrowed and she said, “Dad, Mum, don’t say anything and just eat.” Her parents were behaving like people who had never seen the world, it really made her feel embarrassed.

“Okay.” Zhan Dafeng nodded, and began to slurp as he ate. Next time when he came to the county, he would come to this store to eat noodles.

At this moment, two young men dressed in floral shirts walked in from the entrance. They looked around for a while before walking straight to Su Jinyue’s table.

When Su Jinyue spotted the two of them, she knew that things were bad. She stood up and said, “I’ll go out for a while.”

She walked towards the two young men in floral shirts and when she was two steps away from them, the silver needle that Su Jinyue had hidden in her hands quickly shot out and pierced the acupuncture points on the waists of the two young men.

Under Yihan’s guidance and through cultivation in the past few days, her physical strength had increased a lot. As she was proficient in Chinese medicine and knew the location of the acupuncture points, Yihan had suggested that she use silver needles as a concealed weapon, After a few days of practice, she could already see some results. Otherwise, she would not have been able to pierce the acupuncture points of the two young men at once.

The two young men in floral shirts saw Su Jinyue and were just about to open their mouths when they felt a prick on their waists. Before they could react, their stomach began rumbling. They were from a gang of thieves. Due to Su Jinyue and the others landing their buddy in the police station, they had come here to teach them a lesson. Unexpectedly, their stomachs began to hurt, before they could teach them any lessons.

No longer caring about looking for Su Jinyue and the others, the two young men in floral shirts rushed out while clutching their stomachs..
