Just after coming down the mountain, the beautiful CEO took me to register

Chapter 411 Pay attention to propriety

Lin Fan watched Lin Shan fleeing in panic, a sneer curling up at the corner of his mouth. "Little guy, you want to play tricks on me? No way!"

However, Lin Shan's sweet words made his originally irritable mood much better.

"Don't blame Xiaoshan entirely. If you have to blame someone, blame that old woman Zhang Guilan. She really deserves a beating." Lin Fan muttered as he called Jiang Li and the others. "Meeting, prepare for action tomorrow!" The meeting lasted until the end of the working day.

After the meeting, Lin Fan said hello to Zhao Ziqing and drove away. When he arrived at the agreed place, Zhao Xingmin was already talking to a woman with outstanding temperament.

"Come, let me introduce you. This is my son-in-law Lin Fan." Zhao Xingmin stood up and introduced.

"Xiao Fan, this is the boss here. You can call her 'Sister Sun'."

"Hello, Sister Sun." Lin Fan greeted politely.

"Oh, what a handsome young man, exactly like what Xingmin described." Sister Sun smiled and exchanged a few pleasantries before leaving. Lin Fan watched her back, deep in thought.

"What's wrong? Are you interested in this type of mature women?" Zhao Xingmin asked with a hint of sarcasm after sitting down.

"Ah?" Lin Fan was stunned, then smiled bitterly. No wonder Zhao Ziqing always said that her father was not serious. Where in the world could there be a father-in-law who would chat with his son-in-law like this!

"Even if you like her, you have to be careful about the limits," Zhao Xingmin added.

"Uncle Zhao, you and her..." Lin Fan asked half-jokingly.

"Well, it's one of them." Zhao Xingmin nodded casually.

"...Uncle Zhao is really awesome." Lin Fan gave a thumbs up and thought to himself that his father-in-law was indeed different from others.

"Haha, what's there to praise? It's not worth mentioning." Zhao Xingmin waved his hands, seemingly not caring.

"Tell me, what do you want from me today? If Ziqing makes you angry, don't come to me to complain. I can't control her... Speaking of which, daughters should be afraid of their fathers. My situation is just the opposite." Zhao Xingmin said with a smile.

"You really understand." Lin Fan muttered to himself, then took a sip of tea and said seriously, "Actually, it's not about Ziqing. I have something important to discuss with you."

"Important matter? Then you have found the wrong person. Everyone knows that I, the fourth master of the Zhao family, only love to have fun and never do serious work." Zhao Xingmin said with a smile.

"That's because everyone doesn't understand Uncle Zhao." Lin Fan looked directly into Zhao Xingmin's eyes.

"Others laugh at me for being crazy, but I laugh at them for not being able to see the truth... Is Uncle Zhao really just cynical?" Lin Fan's words were full of meaning.

The cup in Zhao Xingmin's hand swayed slightly. He looked up and met Lin Fan's gaze, a flicker of surprise in his eyes. "I just like to enjoy life. It's nice to do something serious every now and then."

"Indeed, it feels good to do something serious occasionally." Lin Fan continued, "For example, wasn't Uncle Zhao also involved in some of the recent events?"

"Are you talking about those incidents targeting the ten major families?" Zhao Xingmin's eyes became serious.

"Yes, for example, during the incident at the Situ family's house, didn't Uncle Zhao serve as a driver?" Lin Fan cautiously probed.

"Oh, so that's what it is." Zhao Xingmin seemed to be thinking, "So what do you think we should do next?"

Zhao Xingmin sipped his tea leisurely, his face showing no emotion.

"I heard that the mastermind behind this has placed chess pieces in every family." Lin Fan said softly.

"The Zhao family is no exception."

"You want me to find that chess piece?" Zhao Xingmin put down the teacup in his hand and looked directly at Lin Fan.

"That's right, it concerns the old man's safety." Lin Fan nodded solemnly.

"The old man has had a really hard time recently. He was on the verge of life and death twice." Zhao Xingmin sighed.

"Not everyone can endure such hardships."

"So we must find that pawn as soon as possible, otherwise the old man may not be able to survive the third time."

"Have a cigarette." Zhao Xingmin did not answer directly, but handed a cigarette to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan took it and lit it. The two fell into silence, and only the sound of smoke could be heard.

"It seems that you have discovered something." After finishing a cigarette, Zhao Xingmin put out the cigarette butt.

"Did Du Yunxiao's death give you a clue?"

"Yes." Lin Fan answered briefly.

"Haha." Zhao Xingmin laughed and took out an envelope from the side and handed it to Lin Fan. "Let's see which one has more discoveries, yours or mine."

Lin Fan took it, opened it, and could hardly conceal his surprise. The document contained not only information about the Origin World Kingdom, but also details about the Taiping Society's operations.

"No need to test me anymore. I am the chess piece of the Zhao family." Zhao Xingmin confessed voluntarily.

Lin Fan looked up, a hint of vigilance flashing in his eyes.

"I'm very pleased that you came to see me. I had planned to find you in person tomorrow and tell you all this," Zhao Xingmin explained.

"Why choose me?" Lin Fan wondered.

"Because there are some things I can't handle personally, and you happen to be the best person to do it. Ancheng's stability cannot afford any mistakes. I believe you can complete the task."

Lin Fan's heart was in turmoil. This seemingly idle fourth brother was actually a very capable person.

"Everyone thinks I do nothing, but they don't know that I have a heavy responsibility." Zhao Xingmin seemed to see through his thoughts.

"What exactly are you?" Lin Fan asked.

"I am the guardian, protecting this land from invasion." A hint of determination flashed in Zhao Xingmin's eyes.

"The legendary Ghost King is actually the guardian of China?" Lin Fan couldn't believe it.

"Yes, I have the mission of protecting national peace." Zhao Xingmin said lightly.

At this moment, Lin Fan understood that the fourth son of the Zhao family in front of him was far more unfathomable than he had imagined.

Zhao Xingmin actually knew all his background?

At this moment, he felt as embarrassed as if he were standing naked in front of Zhao Xingmin.

But I knew nothing about Zhao Xingmin.

I originally thought that I was the one who was superior in tonight's conversation.

Unexpectedly, the real master is actually Zhao Xingmin!

"Me? Haha, I'm just a loser or a waste, as the Zhao family sees me as."

Zhao Xingmin chuckled.

"Otherwise, why would the Source World Kingdom come to me and want me to become their pawn?"

"You are not from the Genshi Heaven Kingdom?"

"How could they be worthy?"

"..."

"Since you didn't reveal your identity on your own initiative, then there's no need for me to reveal my identity myself."

Zhao Xingmin lit another cigarette, and his whole body exuded an unusual aura.

"I've shed the label of 'prodigal son'. The rest is up to you to discover."

"Not interested in."

Lin Fan shook his head.

"No matter who you are, as Zhao Ziqing's father, you are also my father-in-law..."

"Ok?"
