Chapter 230 Dong Tianjiao's Secret
"Honey, what do you mean by this?"
Cheng Li looked at Liu Linglong with disbelief. This rich second-generation heir she had hooked up with just two days ago was still making vows of eternal love last night, so why was he saying that their feelings weren't deep anymore today?
Liu Linglong ignored Cheng Li and instead peered at the table. Seeing that no food had been served yet, he smiled and said, "Brother Fan, what would you like to eat? This meal is on me!"
Liu Zhengwei had warned Liu Linglong to keep Lin Fan's identity a complete secret, but also to subtly build a closer relationship with him when they happened to meet.
In response, Liu Zhengwei summarized a four-line mnemonic and passed it on to Liu Linglong:
When you meet someone, call them "brother," not "boss."
One should be mindful of others' expressions when speaking.
They were friendly and polite in conversation.
Stop when you've made your point and withdraw promptly.
This will come in handy.
Su Ruo smiled and said, "You must be Liu Linglong? No need to be so polite, this meal is on me treating my husband and Xinyan."
Su Ruowei had met Liu Linglong at the Shancheng Hospital before. Although she didn't know why he had changed so much, she still politely explained it to him.
"Since you've said so, I won't bother you any longer."
Liu Linglong then said to Lin Fan, "Then I'll be going now, Brother Fan. You guys have a good meal and drinks!"
After saying this, Liu Linglong observed Lin Fan's expression, and after seeing him nod, he left.
It took Cheng Li a long time to recover before she finally stood up and looked at Liu Linglong's back as she fell into thought.
What could possibly make Liu Linglong treat Lin Fan so politely?
Could it be that Lin Fan isn't a useless son-in-law, and the previous news was just a rumor?
Completely clueless, Cheng Li dared not make any further moves, fearing that Lin Fan was a powerful figure she couldn't afford to offend.
After Cheng Li left, Lin Fan felt that the whole world was peaceful.
The three of them finished their meal at Zuixian Pavilion at nine o'clock in the evening.
Gu Xinyan drove home by herself, and Lin Fan and Su Ruowei also returned home.
As soon as Lin Fan and his wife returned home, they quickly slipped into their room, afraid that Shen Yunlan would ask them all sorts of questions after seeing the news and learning about Bai Mei Company.
As it turned out, Shen Yunlan and Su Zhengwu were unaware of this news, so Lin Fan and Su Ruowei were able to enjoy a moment of peace and quiet.
After returning to her room, Su Ruowei sat on the bed, and her first words were:
"I never expected that I would actually secure the cooperation with Bai Mei Company."
Even now, when Su Ruowei mentions Bai Mei Company, her eyes still reveal a hint of excitement.
Lin Fan sat down next to Su Ruowei and said with a smile, "President Su, shall we talk about how I can be a kept man?"
"Okay, let me think about it—"
As Su Ruowei spoke, she reached out and hooked her arm around Lin Fan's neck, bringing her lips close to his ear and whispering sweetly:
"Honey, how would you like to eat this?"
This was a trick that Gu Xinyan secretly taught her before the event ended. Su Ruowei thought she would be shy, but she didn't expect to be shy at all; on the contrary, she was a little shy.
enjoy?
Lin Fan, on the other hand, blushed furiously, and the hairs on his body stood on end.
Now he doesn't dare to breathe too loudly, and he can smell the fragrance of her body with just a slight breath.
Lin Fan spent over 900 years in another world, remaining a bachelor for all 900 years, with only martial arts cultivation and the desire to improve his strength in his heart.
He had absolutely no concept of romantic relationships, but—
Male instincts guided him.
"I want to eat it like this—"
Driven by instinct, Lin Fan took the initiative and picked up Su Ruowei, throwing her onto the bed.
Su Ruowei's pretty face instantly flushed crimson with embarrassment, and her body trembled uncontrollably. However, this trembling did not stem from resistance, but rather from—
"Jingle Bell--"
The phone rang at an inopportune moment. Lin Fan took a deep breath, took out the phone, and tossed it aside.
But the moment he threw it, he saw the number displayed on the screen; it was Gao Xuan calling.
"I go!"
Lin Fan quickly let go and picked up the phone: "Ruowei, wait a moment, I'm going to take this call."
Su Ruowei pursed her lips and nodded, and Lin Fan walked onto the balcony.
"What's wrong with Gao Xuan? Tell me quickly!" Lin Fan's tone was somewhat anxious.
On the other end of the phone, Gao Xuan's voice was urgent: "President Lin, I have already investigated the Dong Group that you asked me to investigate."
Lin Fan frowned as Gao Xuan continued:
"Dong Tianjiao is not from Shancheng City, but is registered in Yanjing. She came to Shancheng City with her family to do business when she was young, and has been doing so for 21 years now."
"The Tung Group has had financial dealings with a large number of external companies."
"The connections between the Tung Group and external companies are probably not a direction for the investigation."
"I couldn't find out anything about Dong Tianjiao's martial arts master, but I found records of Dong Tianjiao's close ties with the Four Evils of Shancheng."
"Since the emergence of the Four Evils of Chongqing, Dong Tianjiao has had 237 interactions with them!"
“There are even surveillance videos from several years ago showing that Dong Tianjiao personally visited the strongholds of the four evil forces in Chongqing 26 times!”
Lin Fan frowned and took a deep breath:
"This means that Dong Tianjiao is very likely a member of the Yan Yang Cult!"
“Dong Tianjiao is very likely a member of the Yanyang Cult!” Gao Xuan said at the same time.
On the other end of the phone, Gao Xuan asked, "President Lin, what do you think we should do next?"
"What's next?" Lin Fan pondered for a moment. "Let's wait and see. The Flame Sun Sect has no grudge against us. As long as they don't do anything out of line, we just need to be on guard."
"Also! Keep a close eye on the Dong Group's movements, and report to me immediately if anything happens!"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Fan clenched his right fist and tapped his forehead with the base of his thumb, pondering:
Assuming Dong Tianjiao is a member of the Yanyang Sect, then her desire to steal the Night-Shining Pearl likely stems from her knowledge that it is the Nine-Turn Elixir.
Since she knew it was the Nine-Turn Spirit Pill, it meant that the Flame Sun Sect had information about it.
"It seems that the Flaming Sun Sect is aware of the existence of the Nine Netherworlds."
"But what is Dong Tianjiao's purpose in concealing her identity in Shancheng City?"
"They even started such a large enterprise, ranking third in the city."
Lin Fan was sorting out his thoughts when he heard Su Ruowei call out from inside the room, "Honey, if you don't come in soon, I'm going to go to sleep!"
"You go to sleep first!"
Lin Fan responded by shouting, then continued to think:
The first step is to confirm whether Dong Tianjiao is a member of the Yanyang Cult.
After confirming Dong Tianjiao's identity, they then learned about the Yan Yang Sect through her.
Based on intelligence gathered about the Yan Yang Cult, determine whether the Yan Yang Cult is friend or foe.
In Lin Fan's eyes, the Yan Yang Sect could only be one of three possibilities:
First, the Yanyang Sect was founded by the Nine Netherworld People, and the founder is still alive;
Secondly, the Yanyang Sect was founded by the Nine Netherworld People. The founder has passed away, but the sect has been passed down.
Third, the Yan Yang Cult was founded by people in the present world who knew the secrets of the Nine Netherworlds.
"However, judging from the behavior of the Four Evils of Mountain City, judging from this small incident, the Flame Sun Sect is probably more likely to be our enemy, so we cannot let our guard down!"
Lin Fan nodded to himself, feeling a sense of clarity and understanding after his thoughts were cleared up.
When Lin Fan tried to enter the house from the balcony, he found that the balcony door had been locked from the inside.
"Ruowei! Why did you lock the door?" Lin Fan called out in confusion.
"Going to sleep, goodnight!" Su Ruowei's voice carried a hint of petulance as she turned off the light.
