Chen Tianlong didn’t make a call because he was stopped by the servant at the door. He felt a bit frustrated and didn’t bother to call. If Zhang Yufei didn’t come out, he would just drive back.
"Oh? Chen Tianlong? The Chen Tianlong from South Sea No.1 Middle School?"
Li Jun suddenly remembered something.
Chen Tianlong nodded. Previously, Li Jun didn’t get a good look at Chen Tianlong, but now he remembered.
The young hero that the Director often mentioned, Chen Tianlong, Li Jun quickly said, "Please, come in, Captain Zhang and Director Zhao have been waiting inside for a while."
Chen Tianlong took a deep breath, brought along his two roommates, and walked inside, leaving the man with the birthmark awkwardly at the door. He felt anxious, unsure if these people would speak ill of him, and feared being driven away.
"Chen Tianlong, the quality of these servants is really low. I feel the owner here can’t be much better. How do you know them?" Yang Fan, who was usually quiet, started to speak.
"Oh, it’s not like that. Zhang Yufei is actually very nice." Chen Tianlong wasn’t very prejudiced against the Zhang Family, just that the birthmark guy himself wasn’t very decent.
"Alright, maybe I was overthinking it."
Yang Fan grinned, anyway, he came here to eat, who cares about quality? He would eat and drink to his fill and leave.
The three followed Li Jun slowly into the living room. Just as they entered, they were stunned. This hall was practically on par with the lobby of a luxury hotel; this design... so damn luxurious.
If they weren’t sure they came to the Zhang Family, they would have thought they had arrived at the Shangri-La Luxury Hotel.
This hall was specially designed by the Zhang Family, five times bigger than a typical hall. To put it simply, all the rooms on the first floor were merged, supported by six enormous circular columns, and the hall was twice as tall as ordinary ones, at least ten meters.

At first glance, it felt like a sports arena, grand and majestic.
"Chen Tianlong, this way please, Director Zhao is just ahead!"
Li Jun kept walking, not forgetting to point out the direction.
Chen Tianlong smiled slightly, feeling this person wasn’t bad, and the three followed closely behind. Soon, the three stood in front of Director Zhao Bing.
"Chen Tianlong, you’re finally here."
Zhao Bing was obviously very pleased. This was the young hero in his mind. The scene in the detention center was still vivid in his mind. If it weren’t for him, their police bureau would have been in trouble.
"Yes, Director Zhao, you invited me. How dare I not come?" Chen Tianlong joked.
"Haha, listen to you, making it sound like I’m some sort of villain. Alright, I’ve already arranged a table for you guys. Go sit down first. I need to help Yufei, and I’ll come over later." Zhao Bing said and then walked ahead.
It’s no wonder this banquet by the Zhang Family wasn’t just about celebrating Zhang Yufei’s birthday. They were secretly looking for a connection, someone who could help the Zhang Family weather their difficulties.
"Alright, no worries, Director, you go ahead. We can manage ourselves."
Chen Tianlong didn’t mind. After all, he came to check out the scene, since he and Zhang Yufei weren’t very close. Being invited was already quite nice.
"Oh, right, I forgot to introduce you. This is Li Jun, a colleague of Yufei. If you can’t find me in any urgent matters, you can ask him for help." Zhao Bing, being meticulous, introduced swiftly.
"Got it, thank you, Director Zhao."
"Haha, Chen Tianlong, you’re too polite." Li Jun, a sincere person, laughed and followed Zhao Bing into the crowd, probably to greet guests.
The three sat for a while, Zhao Lei saw many bottles of red wine not far away and walked over, picked up two glasses, and handed one to Chen Tianlong.
"Hey, Zhao Lei, you’re so biased, only getting a drink for Chen Tianlong, not for me." Yang Fan pouted, feeling aggrieved.
"Well, you have a girlfriend now, drink less. I heard alcohol kills sperm." Zhao Lei blagged.
"Damn, as if you don’t. I’ll tell Qiuju later and see what you do." Yang Fan glared at Zhao Lei disdainfully.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing, Yang Fan, this one’s for you."
With that, Chen Tianlong handed over a glass of red wine.
Then, Chen Tianlong stood up and walked over to the nearby wine table, reaching for a drink. At the same time, a fair little hand also reached over, and the two accidentally bumped together.
Chen Tianlong was stunned, looking at this slender little hand, yet it felt a bit strong. He quickly turned his head to look, and was surprised to find that the person in front of him was none other than the policewoman Zhang Yufei.
However, at this moment, Chen Tianlong couldn’t believe this was Zhang Yufei, because this outfit almost overturned the image of Zhang Yufei in his mind.
This moment, Zhang Yufei was simply an elegant lady, it didn’t show at all that she was that rough policewoman.
A pale pink long dress, smooth black hair, with light makeup, that exquisite face, paired with her stunning figure, made Chen Tianlong’s breath hasten.
"Damn Chen Tianlong...."
"Zhang Yufei, it really is you, wow... when did you become so beautiful?"
Zhang Yufei indeed made Chen Tianlong’s eyes light up. One really couldn’t tell, dressed so ladylike, she looked quite stunning.
"What do you mean, I wasn’t pretty before?"
Zhang Yufei pouted, clearly a bit annoyed.
"Oh, let me take a closer look."
Chen Tianlong said and then earnestly looked again, finally letting his gaze linger on Zhang Yufei’s chest for a few seconds.
"Hey, damn Chen Tianlong, where are you looking?"
At this moment, Zhang Yufei felt a bit uneasy under Chen Tianlong’s gaze. Honestly, she admired Chen Tianlong’s strength, respected his courage, and even had some affection for him.
But why did this guy always stare at those places, didn’t he know girls get shy?
Being looked at by Chen Tianlong, Zhang Yufei immediately felt somewhat shy. Usually, she wore military uniforms, never as graceful as today, evidently, Chen Tianlong was attracted to her beauty.
"Chen Tianlong, what are you looking at, never seen a big beauty before?"
Zhang Yufei saw Chen Tianlong about to drool and still staring at her chest. Her face was about to turn crimson, and she reminded again.
Chen Tianlong suddenly reacted, indeed, today’s Zhang Yufei was too enticing, dressing up could be so pretty, he said, "I didn’t know Yufei was such a beauty, really couldn’t tell."
Zhang Yufei was about to say something but stopped. If she hadn’t met him today, Zhang Yufei’s mood wouldn’t have been so complicated.
She somewhat knew her father’s intention, that this wasn’t just a simple birthday dance party.
In previous birthdays, at most, some family members would have a meal together, but now, at such a time, with the Zhang family’s economy nearing collapse, throwing such a grand event, it was clear as Sima Yi’s intentions, obvious to all.
