Chapter 103 Identity Exposed
The sleazy man was dragged to a corner by a group of thugs and given a good beating.
Seeing the lewd man in such a sorry state, the woman swayed her hips and approached Liu Linglong.
"You must be Young Master Liu," the woman said, trying to seduce Liu Linglong.
Liu Linglong felt a surge of desire upon seeing the woman's sweet appearance, but then he remembered Lin Fan's words: "Young people should be practical and not just think about flirting with other girls."
"You get out too!"
On the other side, Lin Fan arrived at the parking lot and put his things in the trunk of the G-Class.
Gu Xinyan opened the passenger door and glanced at it to see that it was marked as Su Ruowei's special seat. She immediately and tactfully went to sit in the back seat.
Although Su Ruowei hadn't ridden in the passenger seat yet, Lin Fan had already affixed the markings.
On the way back, Gu Xinyan was embarrassed and didn't know what to say. She sat in the back playing on her phone, wondering from time to time how Lin Fan could be so rich. But then she remembered that Lin Fan knew the CEO of Meilin Group and had the relationship to give him a Mercedes-Benz G-Class, so this amount of money was nothing.
Lin Fan was quite happy, thinking that the misunderstanding had been resolved. He even bought Su Ruowei a gift and couldn't wait to see her surprised expression.
In his excitement, Lin Fan connected his phone to the car stereo via Bluetooth and played music all the way, occasionally nodding along to the rhythm.
Halfway through the journey, the phone rang suddenly. Lin Fan subconsciously answered the call, completely forgetting that Gu Xinyan was still in the back seat.
"President Lin, this is Gao Xuan." The call was from Gao Xuan.
Lin Fan smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I'm sorry, I haven't found the graphic you asked me to investigate yet."
"It's alright, there's no rush. I've already gone to a bit of trouble for you."
Lin Fan knew that finding the Blood Thunder Curse seal was like finding a needle in a haystack, and this matter couldn't be rushed.
"There's one more small thing I'll mention in passing," Gao Xuan said with a smile.
"Go on," Lin Fan said, somewhat surprised. This was the first time he had ever heard Gao Xuan speak with a smile.
“I just learned from the accounting records that you bought a limited edition CL product at the Ruanda Plaza counter. You could have just told me. I am in charge of Meilin Company, a subsidiary of Shancheng Group, which specializes in cosmetics.”
"Whatever you need, Madam, I will prepare it for you!"
Lin Fan laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to be so well-informed. It's nothing, I just had a sudden urge. I'll contact you if I really need anything."
"Because there are only 100 of those limited edition pieces in stock across all of China, they are quite difficult to obtain," Gao Xuan said.
"Thank you for your thoughtfulness. By the way, please send me a copy of the Shancheng Group's financial report so I can check their recent business performance," Lin Fan said with a smile.
"Okay, Mr. Lin, I'll send it to you right away. Do you have any other plans?" Gao Xuan asked.
"That's all, that's settled then!" Lin Fan said and hung up the phone.
Music continued to play in the car, and Lin Fan continued to enjoy the driving experience.
Gao Xuan? Shancheng Group? President Lin? These pieces of information exploded in Gu Xinyan's mind like thunderbolts.
"Lin Fan, I never imagined you were the mysterious heir of the Lin family in Shancheng," Gu Xinyan said in horror.
"hiss--"
Lin Fan was startled, only then remembering that Gu Xinyan was still behind him, and immediately turned off the music.
"You heard everything just now?"
Gu Xinyan nodded fearfully: "I heard it."
She curled up in the corner again, her eyes filled with fear: "You...you won't kill me to silence me, will you?"
Lin Fan shook his head helplessly. Things had come to this point, and there was no way to hide anything anymore.
However, after hearing what Gu Xinyan said, he became quite playful.
Lin Fan lowered his voice and slowly said, "Dead people don't reveal secrets."
"what--"
Gu Xinyan screamed in fright, then begged for mercy repeatedly, tears streaming down her face: "I, I didn't mean to! Please don't kill me to silence me!"
Lin Fan was startled, not expecting Gu Xinyan to react so strongly: "Don't get excited, don't get excited, I was just joking."
"What do they take me for? How could they possibly think I would kill them?"
Gu Xinyan, still shaken, wiped away her tears and said, "That's how it's portrayed on TV. Who knew I'd encounter something like this myself?"
After calming down for a long time, Gu Xinyan finally composed herself and asked in an attempt to ease the awkwardness:
"I watched the live broadcast of the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the southern shopping district on TV. Was that a stand-in?"
"It's a substitute."
After answering, Lin Fan added, "You must keep this a secret. I don't want anyone else to know, especially Ruowei."
"Yes!" Gu Xinyan nodded emphatically, suddenly thinking of Lin Fan's monstrous skills.
"You learned your kung fu from the Lin family in the mountain city, didn't you?"
Lin Fan smiled and said, "That's an even bigger secret."
Gu Xinyan couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine. Was there a secret in Shancheng City bigger than the heir of the Shancheng Group? It was truly unfathomable.
Moreover, as the president of Shancheng Group, why did he spend two years lying low in the Su family, willingly becoming a live-in son-in-law? What was his purpose?
Gu Xinyan didn't dare to ask any more questions; she felt that the man in front of her had become unfathomable.
Lin Fan then briefly told Gu Xinyan about Zhou Xiaojing, explaining that he and Su Ruowei were temporarily staying at Zhou Xiaojing's house and helping Zhou Xiaojing take care of her child.
They also rehearsed their story with Gu Xinyan, carefully explaining that the car was smashed at the Interactive Entertainment Group. When Gu Xinyan told Su Ruowei about it, she was told to mention it briefly. As for the car and clothes, she was told to buy a new car because the car was smashed and to buy a new piece of clothing because the clothes were torn.
Because he didn't want to embarrass Su Ruowei, he bought a Mercedes-Benz G-Class and a Brioni.
Lin Fan brought Gu Xinyan home, where Su Ruowei had been waiting for a long time. She couldn't wait to know the truth: why Lin Fan was wearing a Brioni outfit worth tens of thousands of yuan and driving a Mercedes-Benz G-Class worth millions of yuan, and what the relationship between Lin Fan and Song Xueyao was.
"Xinyan, you're finally here!" Upon seeing Gu Xinyan arrive, Su Ruowei immediately pulled her into the bedroom for a private chat with her best friend.
Lin Fan waited outside for over an hour, wondering why the two girls could chat for so long.
More than an hour later, Su Ruowei and Gu Xinyan finally came out of the bedroom.
Su Ruowei walked ahead, looking somewhat shy. After all, she had misunderstood Lin Fan, and Lin Fan had even found out about it.
Gu Xinyan walked behind and gave Lin Fan an OK sign, indicating that the matter was perfectly resolved.
Just as Lin Fan was about to speak, Su Ruowei said, "It was my fault. I shouldn't have doubted you."
Lin Fan looked at Su Ruowei and thought of a scene from more than ten years ago.
Back then, Tianwang Group didn't exist yet; Lin Ping'an was just a roadside vendor.
One snowy evening, Lin Fan was on his way to help his father's stall after school. But looking at the white snow all around him, he got lost. Just as Lin Fan was feeling lost and helpless, he met a kind little girl. Lin Fan and the girl sat on a swing in the park and chatted for a long time. The girl comforted Lin Fan and encouraged him until his mother found him.
Before leaving, Lin Fan saw the name on the girl's small backpack: Su Ruowei.
For the next ten years or so, Lin Fan never saw the girl again, but she remained in his heart like an angel, becoming his strength when he was helpless.
Later, by a twist of fate, the Su family became acquainted with the Tianwang Group, and Lin Fan and Su Ruowei got engaged. The grown-up Su Ruowei had long forgotten little Lin Fan, but Lin Fan still remembered Su Ruowei. Lin Fan readily agreed to the unreasonable prenuptial agreement.
Su Ruowei's coldness after marriage, especially after the Lin family went bankrupt, made Lin Fan feel that the angel of the past was gone, and he even regretted the marriage.
Fortunately, the angel has now returned to Lin Fan's side.
"Ruowei, I, Lin Fan, only want you in this life. I will never change my mind. The sun and moon can bear witness!" After saying this, Lin Fan hugged Su Ruowei.
Gu Xinyan smiled with relief. But the next sentence made Gu Xinyan want to strangle her good-for-nothing best friend.
