Upon returning to Jiang Province, Zhou Fan dismissed the others and went back to his hotel room.
Gu Feifei must have been at the office, as she wasn't at the hotel. Zhou Fan glanced at his six remaining Recovery Pills, then sat cross-legged on the sofa, still as a meditating monk. To an outside observer, he would have seemed to be asleep.
A long while later, Zhou Fan heard a faint sound at the door. He slowly opened his eyes, breaking his meditation. Suppressing his delight, he darted behind the door in a few swift strides.
A moment later, the door opened. It opened only a crack, as if to avoid alerting anyone inside, and a figure slipped furtively into the room.
Seeing this, Zhou Fan opened his arms and swept the intruder up in a hug.
"Ah! Fan, you cheater! How did you spot me?" Gu Feifei cried out in alarm at first, but upon realizing it was Zhou Fan, she began flailing her hands in protest.
