Chapter 157 Go to hell together
Chapter 157 Go to hell together
In the eyes of ancient warriors, ordinary people are like ants. They have a high opinion of themselves, always feeling that they are above the world. This is perhaps why the one-eyed man can mention "eradicating them" so casually.
After the Xuanqing Sect's group arrived at their destination, the man took out a photo and gently placed it on the table. He filled a glass of wine and placed it in front of the photo.
"Third brother, no matter who harmed you, your second brother will definitely avenge you!" He stared at the photo with a cold tone.
"And that woman from the Zhao family, you didn't get her in your lifetime, but after you die, my second brother will let her accompany you to the underworld!"
The one-eyed man pleaded in a deep voice, "Second Master, I will go and capture that woman right away."
"No, let's avenge the third brother first. How can he have the mood to enjoy women before his great revenge is taken?" The man shook his head again.
"Go investigate, starting with the Zhao family. Remember, try to avoid killing to avoid attracting the attention of law enforcement. Within three days, I want to know who the murderer is!"
"Yes, sir!" The one-eyed man accepted the order and started an investigation overnight.
At dawn, Lin Fan woke up from his sleep, thought for a moment, and then made a phone call.
"Brother Fan, what do you want me to do?" Lu Guanglai's voice came from the receiver.
"Old Lu, have the people from Xuanqing Sect arrived in Ancheng?" Lin Fan lit a cigarette and asked casually.
"People from Xuanqing Sect? They arrived a long time ago." Lu Guanglai responded.
"It was Ouyang Yi, the third son of Xuanqing Sect, who led the team, but he disappeared without a trace in the past few days."
Lin Fan frowned in dissatisfaction. "Old Lu, your news is too delayed. Ouyang Yi has been dead for several days, and you don't even know?"
"What? He's dead? How did he die..." Lu Guanglai was shocked, and suddenly realized something, "Could it be you who did it?"
"That's right. Before he died, he threatened me, saying that his second brother would come to Ancheng to avenge him." Lin Fan exhaled a puff of smoke.
"Old Lu, do you know what to do next?"
Lu Guanglai's heart tightened. "I understand. I will try to make them disappear in Ancheng."
"No need, just help me find them, I will handle it myself." Lin Fan said calmly.
"Yes." Lu Guanglai responded, and couldn't help but remind him, "Brother Fan, Xuanqing Sect is a first-class force after all."
"Can't a first-rate force be eradicated?" Lin Fan asked in return.
"Yes, of course!" Lu Guanglai was stunned, thinking to himself: Are you planning to destroy the Xuanqing Sect? This is too crazy!
"Wait for your news." Lin Fan hung up the phone. He didn't care about the Xuanqing Sect. So what if they were a first-rate force? If they really angered him, he could destroy them with a single sword strike.
After finishing his cigarette, Lin Fan began to wash up and prepare breakfast. When breakfast was ready, Zhao Ziqing and Wang Chudong came down from upstairs together.
The two of them spent the night together last night, apparently sleeping in the same bed.
"Good morning, everyone." Lin Fan greeted them in a friendly manner, and at the same time secretly glanced at Wang Chudong next to him, thinking to himself, could this really be my fiancée whom I have never met?
Wang Chudong was sensitive enough to notice Lin Fan's peek and frowned slightly, wondering why he was staring at her like that. What if Zhao Ziqing misunderstood?
After breakfast, Lin Fan and Zhao Ziqing left the villa together and set off for the company.
"Did you sleep well last night?" Lin Fan tried to start a conversation.
"With Chudong by my side, those nightmares no longer bother me." Zhao Ziqing responded softly.
"Oh? Chudong really cares about you in every possible way. He rushed over without even having time to put on his clothes." Lin Fan said with a smile.
"What did you notice?" Zhao Ziqing suddenly turned to look at him, with a hint of inquiry in his tone.
"Ah? I... I didn't see anything. You were all in my mind at that time, so how could I notice anyone else?" Lin Fan was speechless for a moment, secretly cursing himself for being too talkative.
"If you hadn't mentioned her clothes, I wouldn't have noticed at all." Seeing Zhao Ziqing look away, Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief. "Have you ever thought about how to help Chu Dong solve her problem?"
Lin Fan shook his head. "To be honest, I know nothing about her engagement with Xu Wangba, or the Wang family's situation. I really don't know how to intervene. Do you know anything? If so, please tell me."
"The Wang family used to be the most prominent of the nine major families in Wucheng, but has gradually declined in recent years. Three years ago, it even fell out of the ranks of the nine major families."
Zhao Ziqing began to narrate, "Old Master Wang watched his family decline and became extremely anxious, so he wanted to revive the family's glory through marriage with the Xu family... Oh, by the way, the Xu family ranks third among the nine major families, so their strength should not be underestimated."
"Marriage?" Lin Fan suddenly realized, "What's Mr. Wang's name?"
"His name is Wang Zhenhai. This name symbolizes the glory of the Wang family when they controlled half of Wucheng." Zhao Ziqing's tone was filled with emotion. "It's a pity that after decades, the former leader of the nine major families has now become a first-rate force."
"Wang Zhenhai!" When Lin Fan heard this name, the steering wheel in his hand shook unconsciously. It was actually him!
"What's wrong with you?" Zhao Ziqing keenly noticed Lin Fan's abnormality.
"It's nothing. I just think that this old man's approach is a bit inappropriate. Isn't marrying into the Xu family like courting disaster?" Lin Fan carefully concealed his true thoughts.
He didn't dare say that Wang Chudong was also his fiancée. They were not only good friends, but might also become sisters in the future.
"Don't say that. He is Chudong's grandfather after all." Zhao Ziqing shook her head slightly, indicating that she disagreed with Lin Fan's point of view.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Lin Fan nodded and changed the subject. "Are the nine great families really more powerful than the first-rate families? Then how should the ten great families of Ancheng be positioned? Aren't they also first-rate families?"
"Of course not. If we have to compare, the top ten families can be considered top-notch, followed by first-rate, second-rate, third-rate, and so on." Zhao Ziqing explained patiently.
Lin Fan had a thoughtful look on his face after hearing this. "So, as long as the Wang family can be restored to the ranks of the nine great families, then Old Master Wang won't need to arrange a marriage for Wang Chudong?"
"That's true in theory, but it's not easy to get the Wang family back into the nine major families," Zhao Ziqing sighed.
"Yeah, it's not easy." Lin Fan agreed, but he was secretly calculating in his heart.
After arriving at the company, Zhao Ziqing threw herself into her busy work. Lin Fan hesitated for a moment, but ultimately gave up the idea of calling Wang Chudong. He really didn't know how to bring up the engagement, let alone the fact that they were both parties to it.
"It seems that this engagement was first made between the old man and Wang Zhenhai. Later, Wang Zhenhai regretted it and unilaterally cancelled the engagement, intending to marry Wang Chudong to Xu Wangba."
