Zhong Rui Feng slapped his thigh. “Exactly! I was just about to say that earlier, but you kept cutting me off, stuffing food into my mouth. See how you delayed things?”
Zhang Qian Zhi shot him a glare. “You’re the one delaying things! Do you have any idea how thin-skinned Old Eight is? He’s practically as shy as a young maiden. If you start talking nonsense in front of him, won’t you scare him off? This has to be done step by step, carefully planned. We’re going to give him a gift he’ll never forget, something so amazing he’ll always think of how good we brothers were to him. Every time he remembers it, he’ll be so touched he’ll want to cry.”
Zhong Rui Feng noticed Zhang Qian Zhi’s mischievous grin and couldn’t help but ask, “Old Five, why do I feel like we’re scheming against Old Eight?”
“Me? Scheme against my own brother?”
Zhong Rui Feng scratched his head. “Well… that’s true.”
Zhang Qian Zhi asked, “Would you scheme against your own brother?”
“Of course not!”
“There you go. We’re helping him! Helping him experience one of life’s greatest joys. Oh, by the way, give Old Six a call later to get some medicine—strong stuff!”
Zhong Rui Feng shuddered in fear. “I’m not calling Old Six. If anyone’s calling, it’s you. Last time, I nearly collapsed because of him…”
“Well, that’s what you get for making fun of Old Six’s girlfriend. Did you really think he wouldn’t spike your drink with laxatives?”
Zhong Rui Feng thought it over but couldn’t resist asking, “How does asking Old Six to mix up some medicine to give Old Eight diarrhea have anything to do with us helping him?”
Zhang Qian Zhi had finally had enough. “Who said anything about laxatives?!”

Scene Break — A Completely Innocent and Pure Medicine-Related Break
“Before we take action, let’s have a meeting as usual. Check the time—it’s 3:32 PM.”
“Time confirmed!”
“All set!”
“According to Plan A, Lin Xiaofeng should finish her last exam at 4:30 PM and leave the test center. If our intel is correct, Old Eight will pick her up, and the two of them will go to ‘Astro Boy Hotpot Superhero’ for dinner. You should all have memorized the map by now. The restaurant is on Huaihai Middle Road, crowded and surrounded by a complex environment—perfect for our retreat.”
“If Plan A fails, we’ll move to Plan B. But I must remind everyone again of the risks involved in Plan B. Based on our analysis of Lin Xiaofeng’s personality, if she sees a thief, she’ll definitely give chase. Maozi, you’d better be on your toes—she’s a fourth-dan black belt in karate. If she catches you, you might not leave with your arm intact.”
“Also, keep a close eye on Old Eight. Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten what kind of fighter he is. At six years old, he was already training in sanda with the Imperial Head Coach—a true disciple of the masters. If he catches on to what you’re planning, don’t bother showing your faces to me again.”
