"What? Xu Mo is getting married in a few days?"
Lin Fan's expression was one of shock, quickly morphing into anger.
"That Xu Mo has ruined my plans over and over again!"
"Had it not been for him, damn, I would be living large by now."
The more he tolerated, the angrier he grew, and the more he compromised, the more he lost.
Each time the women were about to develop an interest in him.
Xu Mo would always appear and ruin his plans.
Once or twice could be overlooked.
But this guy was constantly around!
Lin Fan even wished to kill Xu Mo.
"Lord Dragon, tomorrow evening, a retired general from the capital will be hosting a dinner party in the city. Shall we attend?"
Ma Qun opened the door to join the conversation.
A dinner party?
Hosted by a general?
Such a great opportunity for networking.
How could Lin Fan possibly miss it?
"Go! Of course we should go!"
"Great. I have the invitation here. Let's head over when the time comes."
Having thought it over, Ma Qun felt the need to give Lord Dragon a heads-up on other important matters.
What might seem insignificant in his eyes,
Could, however, be paramount to Lord Dragon?
"Cough, cough---- Lord Dragon, there's another thing."
Lin Fan's mouth twitched, "Are you my dad, damn?"
Could he not just say everything at once!
His stammering was very infuriating.
"You get me, youngster?"
"Ma Qun, you've been with me for a while, you know my temper. Next time, if you think it's necessary, just report quickly! Don't dilly-dally!”
Ma Qun changed his expression swiftly, and apologized before he said.
"Lord Dragon, here's the thing, the retired general has a granddaughter who is incredibly beautiful. They say she's picky."
"All the young men in the capital failed to catch her eye. Most people are interested in business, careers, but this young lady is particularly obsessed with martial arts."
"I think you and she will have a lot to talk about."
Hiss!!!!!!!
Obsessed with martial arts?
And also beautiful?
Lin Fan quickly noticed a few key words.
After contemplating a bit, he asked.
"Do you have a photo?”
He wanted to play it safe.
Otherwise, what if the rumors were false, and the real person was ugly?
That was like getting all the lottery numbers right, taking the ticket to the staff for the prize.
And then finding out in shock that this lottery ticket was from the previous issue, not the current issue.
The bitter, frustrated, and proud feelings.
Whoever has experienced it knows it.
Anyway, Lin Fan didn't want to risk it.
Ma Qun was stunned.
Where would he get a photo from?
She was the granddaughter of a general.
Needed to be guarded.
Who would dare to blatantly flaunt her photo?
Was this a joke?
For a moment,
Ma Qun felt the need to protect the back mountain. He couldn't let Lin Fan climb and snatch the bamboo shoots.
"Cough cough this---- I really don't have a photo because---------"
Ma Qun coughed awkwardly.
Then he started explaining to Lin Fan.
After hearing it, Lin Fan admitted that it made sense.
Just like Ma Qun analysed.
Last time, because of his hesitation with the Han family, he ended up losing.
And then Han Zhiqi was just handed to Xu Mo.
Now, he was faced with a similar situation again.
Lin Fan raised an eyebrow, he couldn't continue to hesitate.
Or else he would once again be overtaken by others.
He has nowhere to even cry.
"Fine, fine. I got it."
Lin Fan waved his hand dismissively.
"Right, Burning Angel has been lying low at Xu's place for a while, right? There hasn't been any news for so many days. Is she not doing her job properly?"
"Dragon King, I was just about to discuss this with you."
Lin Fan was taken aback.
Ma Qun continued on.
"Over at our overseas Dragon King Hall, it seems that Burning Angel had her followers moving things. Given her nonchalance these past few days, there's a high chance that this woman is about to rebel!"
Rebel?????
Nonchalant?????
Upon further thought, Lin Fan realized it did seem likely!
"Call Burning Angel, I want to meet her!"
Ma Qun nodded, taking out his mobile.
Before long.
'The number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable, please try again later----------'
Lin Fan and Ma Qun looked at each other in silence.
"Call again!!!!"
Lin Fan’s face darkened.
Ma Qun complied.
After a while.
It was still the same unresponsive result.
Lin Fan's face turned even grimmer.
What's Burning Angel trying to do?
Has she really turned against us?
How dare she!
The Dragon King couldn't help but curse inwardly!
We sent you to be a double agent.
And you turned out to be a triple agent.
Who the hell can I complain to?
Is Dragon King Hall not attractive enough?
Or does Xu Mo, that good-for-nothing rich kid, have something alluring that made you fall for him?
Unable to comprehend or understand.
It couldn't be money, absolutely impossible!
Li Jiaxin couldn't possibly be doing this for money.
Lin Fan would rather believe that it was because of women that she chose to stay.
But where would Xu Mo find so many beauties?
“What should we do now, Dragon King?”
Ma Qun was unsure, seeking for advice.
Lin Fan, frowning, said in a deep voice: "Give that woman one last call! If she still doesn't answer, don't blame me for being ruthless! Send out the Angel of Slaughter to assassinate her!"
Hiss!!!!!!!!
Ma Qun quivered!
Send out the Angel of Slaughter?
Isn't that pronouncing Burning Angel's death sentence?
But then again, it makes sense!
Which organization would tolerate the existence of traitors?
Ma Qun acted according to Lin Fan's instructions.
Finally, Burning Angel picked up the call.
Ma Qun quickly switched on the speakerphone.
An impatient female voice came from the other end, as if interrupted while doing something important.
“What? What do you want?”
Lin Fan and Ma Qun were startled.
She actually answered.
What do we want?
Don't you have any clue?
Lin Fan grabbed the mobile from Ma Qun's hand, shouting into the phone.
“Burning Angel, come see me now. Immediately!!!!”
This authoritative tone made Li Jiaxin feel very annoyed.
“I’m dealing with urgent matters and can’t spare the time.”
“Hehe------ can’t spare the time? Or don't you want to come?”
Lin Fan sneered and retorted.
Li Jiaxin slightly raised her eyebrows, pondering for a moment before responding.
"Do you think I've stopped working diligently lately? I've uncovered a bombshell piece of news."
Death is imminent and he's still here playing games?!!!
Audacious!!!
You fiend, I'll expose you for what you truly are!!!
"Alright!!! Then spill, what is this shocking news?"
Lin Fan would not back down!
Previously, he had a bit of suspicion, wondering if Ma Qun was wrongly accusing an innocent man.
But since making the call.
The way this Burning Angel was making light of the situation.
Taking his sweet time to answer the call.
It seemed like he didn't want to work with Dragon King Hall anymore.
Usually, if one didn't want to work, they would just quit!
Leave behind the quitting fee.
But this Burning Angel not only reaped the benefits without doing any work,
He switched sides.
Lin Fan couldn't tolerate this.
Death was warranted!!!!!
On the other end of the phone.
Li Jiaxin composed herself, then said,
"Xu Corporation has spent a large number of funds on crude oil bonds, according to the information I've gathered, it's likely over a hundred billion."
Lin Fan listened disdainfully.
Having invested so much money, how much could they possibly earn?
Was it worth making such a fuss about?
Lin Fan did not pay much attention to the stock market.
Because someone else would focus on it for him.
So there was no need for him to do everything himself.
But on the other side, Ma Qun was dumbstruck upon hearing the news.
Looking as if he'd seen a ghost.
What the hell was happening?!!!
All that liquid capital going into crude oil bonds?
Was Xu Corporation trying to skyrocket right where they stood?!!!
Ma Qun's expression was filled with shock.
He was very familiar with crude oil stock prices.
Lin Fan noticed Ma Qun's unusual reaction.
He asked, puzzled,
"What's wrong? Is this news that sensational?"
More than sensational?!!!
This was completely outrageous!
A small calf can fly, soaring high in the sky!
Ma Qun was distraught!!!
Because the Dragon King didn't understand the stock market, it was like this!
If all the news were to be relayed to the Dragon King later.
Would the Dragon King go crazy because of it?
Or perhaps, most likely, he wouldn't be affected------
Ma Qun was in a state of turmoil.
