A sudden illness struck.
It's not the god-like opponent you should fear, but the pig-like teammate.
Gao Liming's heart sank to the depths of despair.
Oh, for heaven's sake!
How did I end up with such a clueless sister like you?
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
It was all so sudden.
Gao Liming, quick-witted as ever, took the initiative.
"Get out! How many times do I have to tell you? Stop barging into my room, Auntie! I used to wet the bed, but that's all in the past. Do you really have to bring it up now?"
Auntie???
Gao Liyuan pointed at herself with her awkwardly dangling hand.
Gao Liming glared at his useless older sister.
Ah, the little annoyance of having a sister who's a complete mess in life.
On the other end of the phone.
Lin Fan fell silent for a moment before replying,
"Oh, I see."
The voice coming through the phone was already a bit unclear.
Lin Fan just thought the tone sounded somewhat familiar.
Other than that,
he wouldn't connect it to Red Rose.
If he had known that Red Rose's real name was Gao Liyuan,
he would have already started to suspect something.
But alas, he had no clue!!!!
The person screwing him over was his subordinate's own sister?
Even novels wouldn't dare to write something this absurd!
Is reality really this surreal?
Gao Liming and Gao Liyuan stared at each other.
You look at me, I look at you.
Eyes wide, faces blank.
No way?
You actually bought that?
Gao Liming felt a sense of unreality.
But Lin Fan believed it.
It saved him a lot of trouble.
Explanation?
Screw explanations.
Explaining is just covering up, and covering up means there's something to hide.
"Let's talk about the payment!"
Gao Liming got straight to the point, his face showing a mix of seriousness, nervousness, and tension.
Lin Fan frowned, clearly annoyed. "We haven't caught the person yet. What are you thinking?"
"Finding people is my job. Whether they get caught or not is up to you, not me."
Gao Liming washed his hands of any responsibility.
Not my problem, not my concern.
Catching them is a favor, not catching them is just bad luck.
"That's not how you do things!"
Lin Fan was fuming.
He hated it when people tried to haggle with him.
Gao Liming's face hardened. "Fine, fine. I won't bother with Red Rose anymore. I don't want the payment!"
Beep beep beep------
He hung up the call.
This move left Lin Fan completely stunned.
He never expected Gao Liming to hang up on him so decisively!!!
He just wanted to find someone. Did Gao Liming want a meteorite or something?
No conflict there!!!
"Damn it, you little brat! I haven't even started lecturing you on how you handle things! You're young, but you've got quite the temper!"
"Besides my Dragon King Hall, who the hell would put up with you? Go out and see if anyone else gives a damn about you!"
Lin Fan cursed under his breath.
Call Gao Liming back?
Are you kidding me?
He, the Dragon King of the Dragon King Hall!
A man above all others.
When had he ever been treated with such disrespect?
He wouldn't even consider bothering Gao Liming further.
"You don't want the payment anymore?"
Gao Liyuan blinked and asked.
Want it?
Want it, my ass!
You almost got me into serious trouble just now.
Ahem---our grandma is the same person, by the way.
Gao Liming gave her a reassuring look.
"Of course I want it!"
"It's not every day you get a chance to mess with the Dragon King!"
"Sis, I've got a Plan B!"
Gao Liyuan's curiosity was piqued. "What plan?"
"Just keep watching," Gao Liming said, pointing at the computer screen.
On the screen,
a group of property management staff blocked Lin Fan's path,
preventing him from leaving.
"Sir, you forcibly damaged the door without the homeowner's permission. Regardless of the reason, you can't leave! Wait for the police to arrive and give a statement."
Your homeowner is a damn scammer!
He scammed me, scammed me out of my money!
"Move!" Lin Fan's face turned cold, clearly irritated.
How strange.
Back abroad, he could do whatever he wanted.
As long as he had the money,
lawyers and even judges were on his side.
It was all just a formality.
But this was the first time Lin Fan had encountered something like this.
Usually, by this point,
he would have been long gone from the scene.
"Sir, please cooperate. Thank you!"
Two burly property managers stepped forward,
blocking his path from both sides.
Lin Fan smirked, a cold, sinister smile spreading across his face.
"What if I don't?"
Ever since returning to the country,
nothing had gone his way.
Lin Fan had been itching to find someone to vent his frustrations on.
The property managers exchanged glances and chuckled.
With so many of them, how could they possibly lose to some pretty boy?
For some reason, they couldn't stand people who were better-looking than them!
Especially when that handsome face wore such a punchable smirk.
"Feel free to try!"
The tall, muscular property manager said, looking down at Lin Fan.
Try? Try it is!
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes.
He loved dealing with these overconfident fools!
Thinking they could do whatever they wanted just because they were big and strong.
They overestimated themselves.
And underestimated him!
Just like that spoiled rich kid!
Soon after,
screams of pain echoed one after another.
Four or five property managers lay on the ground, writhing in agony.
The one who had challenged Lin Fan earlier
got the worst of it.
Lin Fan dusted off his clothes, his face filled with disdain.
Who gave them the courage?
Hah-------
To go up against him?
Do they want to die or something?!!!!
He had beaten them up, destroyed some property.
This wasn't the place to linger.
Time to make a quick exit.
Just as Lin Fan was about to slip away,
a police car with blaring sirens pulled up outside.
Lin Fan didn't hesitate and immediately turned to run!
"It's you again!!!!!"
A woman's furious voice rang out.
Lin Fan paused for a moment.
But his instincts told him to keep running.
"This isn't abroad! There are cameras everywhere, Lin Fan. Your information is already in the system. There's nowhere to run! Unless you go back overseas!"
Yang Jingxuan said angrily.
Only then did Lin Fan stop running.
He turned around,
a smile on his face as he walked toward Yang Jingxuan.
"Officer Yang, you can't just accuse an innocent man."
"I'm here to find someone. Why do you look at me like I'm some criminal? That's prejudice!"
Yang Jingxuan was momentarily stunned.
They had only received a report
about someone breaking into a residence
and damaging the door.
The nearby residents were panicking,
urging the police to come quickly and handle the situation.
No matter what,
Yang Jingxuan still wanted to say,
"Do you even remotely resemble a good person?"
Lin Fan instinctively touched his nose. "A little."
Yang Jingxuan turned her head away, not wanting to engage with this smooth-talking liar.
"Xiao Yang, let's go ask some questions first."
Captain Zhang said.
A few colleagues, feeling inferior after seeing how handsome Lin Fan was, thought their beloved Officer Yang was about to be swept off her feet.
But then---------
"Li, Officer Dong, you two stay here and keep an eye on this guy! Don't let him run off. He might be connected to this case!"
Yang Jingxuan tossed her hair and strode forward, her long, slender legs catching everyone's attention.
The two male officers who were called out couldn't help but chuckle awkwardly.
This guy didn't seem like the type to break into someone's home.
After all, they were new and didn't know about Lin Fan's criminal record.
Lin Fan, on the other hand, was fuming!
Once Yang Jingxuan and the others left,
Lin Fan turned to the two male officers.
"Sorry, gentlemen, I have urgent matters to attend to."
The two officers, who had been chatting, looked over.
"Buddy, just cooperate. It'll be over soon."
"Yeah, we believe you wouldn't do something like this, right?"
"Haha---right!"
Lin Fan's lips twitched as he replied.
Do you think you're being funny?
