"Haha... I don't know him, it's just that your name happens to be the same as my college classmate's," Yang Jingxuan laughed unnaturally, making up an excuse on the spot.
Lin Fan's eyes lit up. He believed it; he actually believed it was true!
A mischievous smile appeared on his face again.
He laughed and said, "That's wonderful! I didn't expect us to have such a connection."
Ugh--------
At first, when she saw this smile, Yang Jingxuan didn't think there was anything too strange about it.
Now her stomach was churning, and stomach acid was about to flow up her throat.
"Urgh---"
Seeing Lin Fan's hand reaching out, she bent over, one hand on her lower abdomen, the other covering her mouth, her expression extremely uncomfortable.
Lin Fan was stunned for a moment, looking at his own hand, then back at her.
He sniffed himself.
No strange smell!
His clothes and appearance were all quite okay.
Yang Jingxuan's behavior was very impolite!
A cold glint flashed in Lin Fan's eyes.
Yang Jingxuan took a moment to recover, then explained, "I'm sorry, I was just chasing that robber, and I didn't eat anything this morning, so..."
"It's alright! I understand." Lin Fan's eyes brightened, and he immediately relaxed, his lips unconsciously curling into that mischievous smile again.
"Urgh---urgh---"
Yang Jingxuan turned away, her face looking awful.
This time, Lin Fan found Yang Jingxuan's reaction much more agreeable.
There was a good reason for her behavior.
It was understandable.
Seeing Yang Jingxuan's expression and physical discomfort,
Lin Fan, considering himself quite the gentleman, withdrew his hand.
If it weren't for this being their first meeting,
and wanting to leave a good first impression,
Lin Fan would have gone up and patted her on the back by now.
After a while,
Yang Jingxuan finally recovered, though her face was still quite pale.
It was clear she had been genuinely unwell!
"Officer, may I ask your name?" Lin Fan inquired again.
Yang Jingxuan didn't conceal it, as it would be easy to investigate her identity anyway, "Yang Jingxuan."
Lin Fan mulled it over in his mind.
He quickly pieced it together.
Her surname was Yang, and she was a police officer.
The second princess of the Yang Family, the most powerful of the four great families!
He had researched the power dynamics in Magic City and done his homework!
The reason he recognized Yang Jingxuan
was because Lin Fan had also set his sights on Yang Jingxuan's elder sister, Yang Jingyue!
The Yang Family was also quite a juicy target!
For now, the main objective was to fell the great tree that was the Xu Family.
Once he had control of the Xu Family's wealth,
the remaining three great families would fall without a fight.
Lin Fan didn't consider himself a passionate man.
Nor did he think of himself as a scoundrel!
It was all the fault of his cultivation technique.
It had nothing to do with his true intentions.
To use an internet meme he'd seen from Dragon Country:
He just wanted to give a home to all the beautiful women in the world, what was wrong with that?
"Ah... wait..."
Just as Lin Fan was about to flash his mischievous smile again, Yang Jingxuan hurriedly stopped him.
Lin Fan's actions were all subconscious.
As natural as eating and drinking for ordinary people.
"What's wrong?" Lin Fan looked confused.
Yang Jingxuan then said, "Nothing."
She then took out her phone and called Captain Zhang.
She explained the situation.
As they waited for the police car to arrive,
Lin Fan extended an invitation, "Officer Yang, you mentioned you haven't had breakfast. I know a nice dim sum place. Plus, I have some medical knowledge and can take a look at the main cause of your dry heaving."
"As far as I know, intense exercise on an empty stomach can cause dry heaving. But not as severe as yours. I suspect it might be due to other symptoms in your body. Small illnesses left untreated can turn into big problems. You should consider it carefully."
She was somewhat surprised.
Yang Jingxuan had to admit.
This Lin Fan did seem to have some real skill!
But can't you see the real reason?
I feel like vomiting every time I see you smile!
Yang Jingxuan forced a smile, barely managing an ugly grin, "No thanks, we have a traditional Chinese doctor in my family."
Lin Fan persisted, "My technique is better than theirs, I guarantee quick results."
His shamelessness made her feel sick again.
Xu Mo was right in his heart!
This guy was a complete pervert.
One who wouldn't let a woman walk away.
Yang Jingxuan stopped being polite and said coldly, "That won't be necessary!"
Lin Fan felt quite dejected, but then he came to his senses.
Women in Dragon Country were different from those abroad.
Some were still quite reserved.
He would need to take a gradual approach
to have any chance of winning them over.
Lin Fan felt he had been too hasty this time.
Soon, the police arrived.
They returned the money to the old lady's hands
and arrested the young man.
Yang Jingxuan got into the car with them.
Captain Zhang was confused, "Little Yang, isn't today your day off?"
The colleague in the driver's seat was equally puzzled.
Yang Jingxuan said irritably, "Captain Zhang, is it not okay to give me a ride?"
Captain Zhang laughed awkwardly, unconsciously reaching up to rub his nose, "Sure, sure. Li, why are you just standing there? Start driving!"
"Oh," Li responded.
As the vehicle slowly drove away,
Lin Fan's gaze followed it. The woman the Dragon King desired, there was no reason he couldn't have her!
At the largest international airport in Magic City,
The airport departure hall was a sea of people, a cacophony of noise.
Xu Mo wore headphones with the volume turned up to maximum, but it still couldn't drown out the sounds.
He reluctantly took off his headphones.
He raised his arm to check his watch.
"It's almost 10:30, and still not out! If you don't come out, I'm going back, and I'll have Uncle Li come pick you up!"
"Really, why come back at this time?"
Xu Mo couldn't understand.
Can't we all just stop making trouble?
After the plot was over, we said goodbye to each other.
One by one, they all came out to cause problems.
What's the point?
"You are my eyes, leading me through the changing seasons; you are my eyes, guiding me through the crowded masses..."
His phone rang.
Finally!
Xu Mo answered the phone irritably, "If you don't come out soon, I'll have Uncle Li come pick you up!"
"What do you mean by that?!" Xu Shi's cold voice came through.
Xu Mo chuckled, "Exactly what I said!"
"If you dare leave, this isn't over!" Xu Shi threatened.
Xu Mo: "You think I'm afraid of you?"
With his anti-beating cultivation technique,
Xu Mo wasn't afraid of anyone now.
He could just fight back and be done with it.
They had been bickering since middle school.
Sometimes Xu Shi would even physically attack him.
Xu Mo couldn't understand why.
Being bullied for no reason.
Of course he would fight back!
Well... the fact proved he couldn't win.
Was it just because he was close to a few pretty girls in class?
Was that worth all this?
He hung up the phone.
Xu Mo sent his location.
Patience now prevents bigger troubles later.
If Xu Shi wanted to come back early, so be it.
As long as they could still follow the original plot, he didn't care!
Besides, Xu Shi's antagonistic attitude towards her brother
made Xu Mo feel touched.
The other female leads were all sick in the head, at least his sister wasn't.
Otherwise, Xu Mo would really have to kill his sister to prove himself!
He'd use his ancient martial arts technique and let her hit him to her heart's content!
If he didn't exhaust her to death, he wouldn't be worthy of the Xu name.
