n367 Return; Something’s Wrong with Ma Zhong!

nAt this banquet, everyone ate and drank to their hearts’ content. They had a great time.

nTime flew by like water.

nQueen Ibai raised her glass again and said, “Finally, let us toast Mr. Lin once again and welcome him to the palace!”

nAll the nobles raised their glasses again and said in unison, “Welcome, Mr. Lin!”

nThe banquet ended here.

nAt this moment, a crisp notification rang out in Lin Fan’s mind.

nDing! You’ve completed the hidden mission—Royal Feast. You’ve received one golden packet.

nHe ate and drank for free and even received a golden packet?

nNot bad!

nLin Fan’s lips curled up.

nAfter Lin Fan and Chu Yunyue got into a Rolls-Royce that was part of the motorcade and returned to the Royal Hotel, it was already 10 PM.

nAs soon as she closed the door of the luxurious suite, Chu Yunyue threw herself into Lin Fan’s arms.

nIf it was not for the fact that there were too many people at the banquet, Chu Yunyue would have thrown herself into Lin Fan’s arms when he was dancing.

nAt this moment, she could no longer endure it.

n? (ˉ﹃ˉ?)

n…

nThe next day.

nAfter Lin Fan, Chu Yunyue, and the staff of Flower Stem had breakfast together, they were sent to the international airport by the chairman of the Royal Hotel, Jack Smith. They boarded the luxurious private plane prepared by Xia Airlines.

nThe employees of Flower Stem experienced the passionate service of the beautiful air stewardesses once again. With a bumpy flight, they finally arrived in Jiangbei, Hua Nation.

nThe perfume exhibition had just been held in Eagle Country. Chu Yunyue and the employees of Flower Stem needed to get over the jet lag and deal with related matters.

nTherefore, they either returned to the company or went home to rest.

nHe sat on the soft sofa and brewed a cup of fragrant Spirit Tea. As he drank the tea, he played with his phone. He was extremely relaxed.

nAfter a while, he turned his attention to the golden packet.

nHe muttered, “One golden packet. Let’s see what I can get.”

nDing! Congratulations, you’ve received five million yuan.

nLin Fan could not help but pout. “Why is there something useless in the golden packet?”

n…

nIn the blink of an eye, it was the second day.

nAfter Lin Fan finished his breakfast, he drove the Culinan straight to Jiangbei University.

nIt had been a while since he went to school, and he missed it a little.

nAfter spending a few days in the European-styled international metropolis, Lin Fan felt a different kind of relaxation when he returned to the youthful and energetic campus.

nNot long after, he arrived at the classroom.

n“Brother Lin Fan, which beauty have you been hanging out with recently?” Song Yi asked.

nHis eyes were filled with anticipation, as if he wanted to hear some explosive topics.

nLin Fan thought to himself, ‘This guy’s thinking is really unhealthy.’

nHowever, on second thought, it seemed like he really did go out with a beauty.

nLin Fan rubbed his nose and said, “I went to Eagle Country…”

nAfter a pause, he said, “It was a business trip.”

n“I understand, I understand!” Song Yi chuckled.

n“You bastard.” Lin Fan pursed his lips.

nAt this moment, Lin Fan suddenly noticed that Ma Zhong, who was always very active in class, did not seem to be in class.

n“Where’s Ma Zhong?” he asked.

nAt the mention of Ma Zhong, Song Yi immediately put away his smile and said, “I don’t know either…Ma Zhong seems to have been late for a lot of classes these past few days.

n“Also, he returns to the dormitory very late every day. Every time he comes back, he’ll be sweating profusely. He’ll be tired too.”

nWhen Lin Fan heard this, he could not help but frown.

nAt this moment, the bell rang.

nThe old professor with white hair slowly walked in.

nIn the past, Lin Fan felt that his lectures were like a lullaby and would fall asleep very quickly.

nToday, however, he lay on the table, tossing and turning. He was unable to fall asleep.

nWhen the bell rang and the old professor left the classroom, a figure covered in sweat slowly appeared at the door.

nIt was Ma Zhong.

nLin Fan could not help but ask, “Ma Zhong, where did you go?”

n“I’ve been feeling that my foundation isn’t too solid recently.” Ma Zhong forced a smile. “So, I took on a job as a tutor. While reviewing basic knowledge, I can also earn money.”

nZheng Jinbao and Song Yi looked enlightened.

nLin Fan nodded his head noncommittally.

nIn the blink of an eye, the day’s classes were over.

nAfter Ma Zhong put away the book, he seemed to have something urgent to attend to and was eager to run out.

nHowever, before he could walk far, Lin Fan stopped him and smiled. “Ma Zhong, are you going to tutor again?”

n“Yes,” Ma Zhong said.

n“Where?” Lin Fan asked.

n“Washington Palace… Brother Lin Fan, you should know that it’s the best school district in Jiangbei. The parents there care about their children’s studies a lot,” Ma Zhong stammered.

nLin Fan said, “Really? That’s great! I have a house there, and I need to go over to settle some matters. I’ll drive you there.”

nLin Fan’s words were half true and half false.

nHe did have a house in Washington Palace.

nMoreover, it was an entire building!

nHowever, he did not have anything to settle.

nThat was because he had already entrusted all the properties to Lianjia Real Estate.

nWhy would he need to deal with anything?

nMa Zhong was a little hesitant. “Thank you, Brother Lin Fan.”

nLin Fan said, “We’re brothers. What’s there to thank for such a small matter?”

nAs he spoke, he put his hand on Ma Zhong’s shoulder and walked toward the parking lot.

nThe Cullinan had an air purification system that kept the interior of the car fresh and fragrant.

nIn addition to the top-notch sound insulation and the top-notch air suspension, sitting in it was like sitting on a soft grass patch. One would be extremely relaxed and comfortable.

nAt the same time, Ma Zhong, whose forehead was still dripping with sweat, gradually calmed down.

nAt this moment, Lin Fan said, “Ma Zhong, we’re roommates and brothers… If you encounter any trouble, you must say it. Only then can we find out a way to deal with it.

n“Unless you don’t treat me as your brother.”

n“No, I’ve always treated you as my brother!” Ma Zhong hurriedly said.

nHe knew that Lin Fan had discovered something.

nMa Zhong gritted his teeth and finally said, “I’m not tutoring. I’m helping people wash dishes.”

nRegarding this…

nLin Fan’s face did not reveal any hint of surprise.

nOne had to know…

nHe had the ability of a Perfume Expert, and he could tell a hundred things with one sniff.

nToday, when Ma Zhong came to the classroom, he could easily smell the stench of sweat on his body and the smell of cooking oil.

nMa Zhong continued, “My father… is sick. He has terminal lung cancer.”

nAfter saying this, Ma Zhong seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and his entire face was filled with pain.

n
