Chapter 21: Chapter 21: Narrow Path of Enemies

Lin Fan arrived at the Japanese restaurant at the agreed upon time.

After parking his car, he headed to the entrance where Zhang Caini was already waiting for him.

However, today she was dressed in a turtleneck coat, with large sunglasses obscuring her small face, as if she didn’t want to be recognized.

Lin Fan didn’t think much of it—perhaps she feared being seen with him by acquaintances, so they proceeded to the private room one after the other.

The Japanese-style decor made them feel as though they were on that little island, scenes from movies he had seen vividly replaying in his mind.

As the sliding door of the private room was pulled open, the space revealed no tables or chairs, but rather it was furnished with tatami mats and a reclining sunken table that added an exotic charm, along with a thin tablecloth, which made Lin Fan think of scenes from Japanese movies.

Such a place was not only for dining, one could also engage in other activities—the table could lower into a bed, and the tablecloth could completely obscure the space beneath, concealing anyone hidden underneath completely from view.

"The hidden phone, you’re the one who took it, right?"

Zhang Caini, sitting cross-legged on the tatami, cut straight to the chase.

"I just noticed a phone in the flower pot and became curious, so I took it to the front desk. I had no idea it belonged to Sister Cai Ni," Lin Fan responded, not particularly liking to sit cross-legged, so he stretched his legs under the reclining table.

"Cut the crap, we’re all adults here. There’s no need to lie to me. Since you discovered my intent to record in secret, there’s no point in being circumspect!"

As Zhang Caini spoke, she took off the oversized sunglasses, and Lin Fan noticed her left eye was black and swollen.
