Chapter 014 The Reason for Sadness
Following Shi Jian's orders, the four bodyguards charged toward Lin Fan with murderous intent.
"I didn't want to kill you, but you messed with the wrong person!" The head bodyguard shouted. He was a master from the underground boxing ring, and his mission today was to protect Shi Jian's absolute safety.
"Ha." Lin Fan scoffed, watching as four bodyguards formed a circle and charged towards him, each holding a gleaming knife.
Swish!
Lin Fan crouched down and swiftly swept his leg, taking down all four bodyguards at once.
"Get out of here if you don't want to die!" Lin Fan roared, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.
"Get out of here!"
The bodyguards struggled to their feet and limped toward the door. With just one move, they knew that Lin Fan was a master, and their strength was far inferior to his!
A simple sweeping leg kick shattered the tibias of all four bodyguards, leaving them all with compound fractures. They knew that if they continued to resist, they would surely die!
"You bunch of useless trash, I've wasted my time raising you!" Shi Jian waved his hand and cursed the bodyguards who had run away, but the next second when he saw Lin Fan, he immediately cowered like a coward.
"You, you stay away! Do you know who I am?" Shi Jian said in a panic.
Seeing this, the people around Shi Jian also panicked and ran away. Shi Jian also wanted to slip away, but as soon as he stood up, his legs went weak and he collapsed back down.
Lin Fan didn't say a word and continued walking towards Shi Jian, his eyes filled with resolute killing intent, like a demon descending to earth.
"Let me tell you, my brother owns an underground boxing ring. If you dare to touch me, the Su family will be finished!" Shi Jian swallowed hard, watching Lin Fan stand still.
Shi Jian's eyes lit up with surprise. He hadn't expected his threat to work. He continued, "I know you're the Su family's good-for-nothing son-in-law. Are you scared? If you are, kneel down and apologize to me!"
Lin Fan remained standing in place, not out of fear, but deep in thought. He was pondering Shi Jian's words: if you touch the Su family, you're finished. Should he make a move? And how could he do it in a way that would let the so-called underground boxing ring know?
After all, this is a place of pleasure, and even if someone dies here, it will be covered up. The owner cannot call the police; if he does, he will be walking into a trap.
"Coward, you still have a chance if you kneel down now!" Shi Jian's panic vanished, replaced by a renewed arrogance.
"Never mind." Lin Fan shrugged, his eyes flashing with murderous intent again, and walked towards Shi Jian.
"What? What do you mean, let it go?" Shi Jian turned pale with fright and asked, "Aren't you afraid the Su family will be wiped out?"
"You talk too much in this life, you'll be mute in your next life." Lin Fan sneered as he approached Shi Jian.
"No, don't kill me!" Shi Jian cried out in fear, and a pool of yellow, unidentified liquid appeared on the sofa.
Suddenly a bell rang.
Lin Fan hesitated for a moment, then took out his phone and saw that it was Su Ruowei calling.
At that moment, Shi Jian unleashed all his strength, not to retaliate, but to run towards the window, smash the window, and leap out.
"Holy crap?" Lin Fan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. This was the fifth floor!
The moment Shi Jian jumped out, he was filled with regret. He usually stayed in the regular rooms on the second floor, but today he had come to the VIP room on the fifth floor to treat himself.
"Ruowei, I'm coming right back. I'm downstairs buying cigarettes," Lin Fan said as he answered the phone.
"Smoking so late at night? Hurry up and come back!"
"I'll go back now." Lin Fan said, glancing at the broken window and shaking his head helplessly.
People can indeed unleash their potential in times of crisis, but they have to use their brains.
Lin Fan returned to his apartment building and bought a pack of cigarettes to make it look authentic. He even tried to smoke one to get a bit of a cigarette flavor to fool everyone, but as soon as he lit it and took a puff, he was choked by the smoke.
"cough!"
I haven't smoked in centuries, why does it feel so hard to smoke now?
Lin Fan took out his phone again to check the time; it was already 1 a.m. Just as he was about to put the phone back, a news notification popped up in the notification bar:
"A person was found to have jumped from a building near the Jin Street Clubhouse. The reason is unknown. The person who jumped, Shi Jian, has been sent to the First Hospital of Chongqing for treatment and is currently undergoing emergency treatment."
Lin Fan frowned, not expecting the news to come so quickly. This way, Shi Jian would get his comeuppance, and no one would find out that it was his doing.
Su Ruowei must be happy to see this news, right?
With this in mind, Lin Fan hurried home and subtly suggested it to Su Ruowei.
"I didn't expect this person to be so unlucky," Su Ruowei said calmly, then frowned, "You shouldn't go out tonight either, it's quite dangerous."
"Okay, sure." Lin Fan kept his eyes fixed on Su Ruowei's face, hoping to see a smile.
"Let's go to sleep, it's already past one o'clock, we have to go to work tomorrow," Su Ruowei sighed.
"Okay!" After turning off the light, Lin Fan lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling.
Isn't it Shi Jian?
Lin Fan began to recall the events of the day. Oh? It must be that evening gown!
the next day.
Su Ruowei arrived at work forty minutes early as usual, and Lin Fan also tidied up and went with her. Su Zhengwu was a little surprised to see the two of them together. He carefully observed Shen Yunlan, thinking that she was going to get angry and scold him again, but unexpectedly, Shen Yunlan was unusually quiet.
"what's the situation?"
After Lin Fan and the other person left, Su Zhengwu asked Shen Yunlan in confusion.
"What? What's going on?" Shen Yunlan asked with disdain, then looked towards the door and asked, "You mean my daughter went out with that good-for-nothing?"
Su Zhengwu nodded vigorously.
Shen Yunlan sneered, "That good-for-nothing is now a bodyguard at my daughter's company, earning 3000 a month."
"You agreed?" Su Zhengwu asked doubtfully.
"You deserve to be stuck in the Su family forever. Who pays your salary, you good-for-nothing? Do you have to bring it home? Isn't this just giving our family a raise?!" Shen Yunlan said angrily through gritted teeth.
“I understand the logic, but why would you hire a good-for-nothing as a bodyguard for no reason?” Su Zhengwu pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked flustered and asked, “Has my daughter encountered some trouble?”
Shen Yunlan recalled what Su Ruowei had said yesterday. Although Su Ruowei had only mentioned it lightly, she had still told her who was causing trouble.
“Yesterday, my daughter’s client was a scoundrel. It was only thanks to that good-for-nothing being at the coffee shop that my daughter was spared harassment.” Shen Yunlan’s eyes flashed with disdain as she sneered, “Truly living up to his name, Shi Jian! A shameless scoundrel!”
"Shi Jian? Is that the Shi Jian from yesterday's news? The Shi Jian who jumped off the building?" Su Zhengwu was startled and said in a panic, "If it's that Shi Jian, we're finished! The entire Su family might be doomed!"
"Don't scare me, is that Shi Jian that powerful?" Shen Yunlan asked quickly.
"How could the brother of an underground boxing ring owner not be powerful?" Su Zhengwu sighed.
“Well, Shi Jian jumped off the building, so he probably wouldn’t have mentioned his daughter, right? Besides, his daughter has been home for a long time, so his suicide definitely has nothing to do with her!” Shen Yunlan said worriedly.
“His brother doesn’t care about all that, he’ll definitely find someone to vent his anger on, but thankfully Shi Jian is in a vegetative state!” Su Zhengwu’s eyes darted around, and he continued, “If the investigation traces back to us, we’ll just shift all the blame onto that good-for-nothing!”
