Chapter 692 Youth, First Stop
Seeing that Chao Bufan had agreed, Tang Qianqian was overjoyed and nodded heavily, saying "Mm."
The first stop on our youth journey – Shenzhen.
Around noon, the eight people arrived in Shenzhen and parked their car in the parking lot of a hotel.
"Everyone, our journey of youth will begin here," Chao Bufan said.
"Okay." Everyone agreed.
Zhang Yi said, "Everyone, right now, shouldn't we first appease our stomachs? I'm starving."
This statement came at just the right time, and everyone turned their attention to Chao Bufan, seeking the "captain's" opinion.
"Can you guys stop looking at me like that? I didn't say I wasn't going to eat." With that, he was the first to walk towards the hotel, followed closely by the others.
However, as Chao Bufan entered the hotel, he caught a glimpse of a tattooed man dining alone at a corner table to the right of the entrance. Behind him stood two men in black suits and sunglasses, clearly the tattooed man's bodyguards.
The tattooed man, looking like a starving ghost, was feasting, not caring who was coming in or leaving.
Chao Bufan glanced around, chose a suitable spot, ordered a few dishes, and the eight of them chatted and laughed as they began their sumptuous lunch.
As they were talking, a man rushed up to the tattooed man and whispered a few words in his ear. Immediately, the tattooed man flew into a rage: "What happened? Our... things...how could they just disappear without a trace?"
"Brother Long, I've already checked. The goods were tampered with during transport," the man said.
Upon hearing this, Brother Long frowned, then asked, "Do you know who did it?"
“Yes…” the man hesitated for a moment, then said, “It was Anan who did it.”
The tattooed man frowned again, then said to the bodyguard behind him, "Call Anan."
The bodyguard on the left quickly took out his phone and dialed a number. A moment later, he said, "Boss, Anan's phone is off."
Upon hearing this, Brother Long slammed his fist on the table in anger, shouting, "You bastard, Anan, how dare you slander me! Bing, where is Anan now?"
Ah Bing (the man who informed Brother Long) replied, "A Nan disappeared after taking the goods. Brother Long, how are we going to explain this to the buyer?"
"That's not important anymore. The most important thing right now is to find Anan as soon as possible and get the stuff back." A murderous glint flashed in Brother Long's eyes as he continued, "After we get the stuff, we'll take care of him."
"Yes, Brother Long," Ah Bing replied, then hurriedly left.
This unexpected news completely ruined Brother Long's appetite; he had no desire to eat anymore. He picked up his phone and made a call...
"Hey, big brother, that brat Anan pocketed the stuff... Yes... Don't worry, big brother, I'll definitely get it back... Okay, I got it."
After hanging up the phone, Brother Long picked up the half-finished glass of red wine on the table, drank it all in one gulp, and then left in a huff.
From the moment they entered the restaurant and sat down, Wang Dakeng and his six companions noticed that Chao Bufan's gaze kept drifting towards the hidden corner on the right side of the entrance. They then discovered that a "prestigious guy" was sitting in that corner, and his conversation with A Bing had naturally been heard by all eight "eavesdroppers."
"Hey guys, how about adding some color to the first stop of our youth journey?" Chao Bufan asked with a smile.
"That's a must." With his charming, enthusiastic smile, the other seven people couldn't find a reason to refuse, and even Tang Qianqian naturally joined their team with the same "slogan".
“Since everyone agrees, then fine,” Chao Bufan said with a smile, looking every bit like an easygoing leader. “Dawei, I’m going to give you a very challenging task now.”
"What kind of mission?" Ge Dawei seemed interested, and everyone else was also looking forward to it.
"Go and follow that guy called Brother Long," Chao Bufan said casually, exuding a leader's air.
"Why me?" It wasn't that Ge Dawei was unwilling to take on this "extremely difficult" task; it was simply because he had never done anything so "immoral" as stalking someone in his entire life.
The others stared at each other, their eyes filled with a mixture of confusion and curiosity, waiting for Chao Bufan to continue.
Chao Bufan smiled calmly and said, "Didn't you say you have the ability of 'satellite positioning'? With you as a living 'satellite positioning device', plus your very accurate 'sixth sense', I think none of us are more qualified for this job than you."
"Huh?" Ge Dawei was taken aback. This guy actually put his mind to my "satellite positioning" and "sixth sense", and even "made good use" of them in such an "unexpected" way, just right.
The others were taken aback at first, but then they realized what was happening and immediately cast envious and jealous glances at him.
“This job is definitely only suitable for you, no one else can do it, how about we do it? Dawei!” Wang Zi patted Ge Dawei on the shoulder with “sympathy” and spoke on behalf of the company.
Ge Dawei sighed dramatically, then put his hand on Wang Zi's shoulder and said, "I'm honored that this kid thinks so highly of me, and you've said that, how could I say no?"
Judging from his tone, he was more than willing to take on this "task"!
"Then you wait here, I'm off to get to work."
"Bu Fan, being with you is definitely not boring," Wang Dakeng said with amusement.
After resting for a while, everyone's face showed undisguised excitement.
"Bufan, what do we do next?" They couldn't help but ask in unison, even though they knew there would be no answer.
Chao Bufan did not disappoint them. He smiled faintly and said, "We still have time. Why don't we find a place to rest and recharge? I guarantee that the entertainment that follows will not disappoint you."
Everyone was overjoyed and filled with anticipation.

Lying in bed, countless thoughts flashed through Chao Bufan's mind in no time, all about that strange and long dream.
It's strange, why do those bizarre scenes from my dreams keep popping into my mind whenever I calm down? Are those dreams real or unreal? And what do they mean?
Linglong, Baihe, Bailing, Baiyu, Ruyu, Ruyan, Baixue, Mengting, Xiuli, Liwei, Maomao, Xiaomin, Yifei, do you really exist? Why do your images appear in my mind every time I close my eyes?
