"Am I not allowed to speak French?" Ye Fei mumbled with a mouthful of lobster.

"I just thought... Can a soldier really learn so many things? You're the same age as me, but you're amazing at everything!"

"I'm not an ordinary soldier, I am a special soldier."

Ye Fei grabbed a toothpick to pick his teeth. "I learned a bit of French when I was on a mission in France. As for wine tasting, I really don't know much about it."

Murong stared at Ye Fei in amazement. "You mean, everything you said was made up? That's impossible! Robert is an expert, he would know if you were making it up!"

"I'm not a wine expert, but what I said about the Pommard wasn't fake." Ye Fei smiled at Robert, who smiled back and nodded. His Chinese was very poor and he had no idea what Ye Fei had just said.

"I memorized all that stuff about the Pommard while I was in France. I had to memorize about fifty different wine tasting terms to reach an important contact in a winery, but I never ended up using them. I never thought I'd have another chance to put that information to use. I can only say that Yuan Chen has bad luck!"

Ye Fei pushed a plate of foie gras in front of Murong. "This food is very expensive, more expensive than gold. Some say it can nourish the brain," he poked her in the forehead.

"Humph." Murong rolled her eyes at him.

At the same time, Yuan Chen was on the phone with the man called Scorpion. A devilish smirk appeared on his face as he hung up.

Scorpion was a gangster. He had a few henchmen and Yuan Chen knew he was ruthless and cold-blooded. He would do anything for money, including murder.

Ye Fei had humiliated Yuan Chen in public, so Yuan Chen saw no option but to call someone over to put him in his place.

He cackled as he walked out of the toilet. Another man walked out at the same time.

It was Li Bin.

Li Bin had followed Ye Fei into this western restaurant, ordered a cup of coffee, and watched him from an una.s.suming corner.

Seeing Yuan Chen and Ye Fei having a meal together, he thought Yuan Chen was Ye Fei's friend, so when he saw him head for the toilet, he hurried there ahead of him, planning to take the opportunity to knock Yuan Chen out and then threaten Ye Fei.

Unexpectedly, Li Bin overheard Yuan Chen's phone call and realized he was not Ye Fei's friend, but his rival in love.

"So..." Li Bin rubbed his chin and considered his next move.

He wanted to stop Yuan Chen outside the toilet and talk to him about plotting against Ye Fei together.

However, he didn't do that.

Li Bin knew Ye Fei looked like a harmless boy, but he was actually very cruel.

He made up his mind. He walked out of the toilet, directly toward Ye Fei.

"Hey, Ye Fei, you're here too!" he smiled at him, pretending to be surprised.

"Li Bin...?" Ye Fei was puzzled. He never would have thought Li Bin would walk right up to him and say h.e.l.lo.

"A friend of yours, Ye Fei?" Murong glanced at him strangely. She had read Ye Fei's file, so she knew he had no known contacts in China.

"Hmm, just an acquaintance," Ye Fei nodded, and coldly said, "What do you want, Li Bin?"

"Nothing much… I've invited someone to eat here today too. Cute girlfriend you have there." After that, Li Bin nodded amicably and went away.

To everyone else, this seemed to be a perfectly ordinary occurrence of two acquaintances b.u.mping into each other in a restaurant.

Neither Yuan Chen nor Murong would think anything of it.

No one but Ye Fei knew that Li Bin had momentarily reached into his pocket, quick as lightning.

Ye Fei reached into his pocket and his fingers touched a small note. Furtively sliding it out without Murong noticing, he read two words: 'be careful'.

"Be careful?"

Ye Fei scratched his head and considered this. After a while, he stood up and said, "I have to go for a moment."

"I'll go with you!" Murong blurted out, not too happy about the idea of staying alone with Yuan Chen.

Ye Fei threw up his hands helplessly. "I'm going to pee. You want to tag along?"

Murong's face turned red. She sat back down again and lowered her head to eat her food, trying to avoid eye contact with Yuan Chen.

"d.a.m.n, that's just perfect. You're going to get what's coming to you now!" Yuan Chen sneered at Ye Fei's back and quietly sent a text message to Scorpion, informing him that the target was headed to the toilet.

Going up a staircase, Ye Fei was not in a hurry to enter the restroom, but walked around the second floor for a few moments.

There were several guests sitting in the booths around him. Two of them were secretly keeping an eye on him.

Ye Fei sneered and walked into the deserted restroom, entering one of the stalls and closing the door behind him. A tinkling sound soon broke the silence.

Suddenly, the stall door burst open and two men rushed in with steel pipes. One mercilessly swung towards Ye Fei's neck, while the other aimed for his waist.
