Chapter 160 Determined to Win
"If you can really lend me a helping hand, I'll give you the painting. It's nothing to worry about." Lin Fan said easily.
"Oh, how can I accept such a precious gift without doing anything for it? How about this, I will buy the painting first, and then do my best to help you find the origin of the five-colored jade, how about that?" Qin Ruoshui suggested.
"No need, I don't plan to sell that painting for the time being." Lin Fan refused.
"Hmph, you said last time that you would call me to say hello, but what happened? Men's mouths are lies!" Qin Ruoshui muttered in pretend anger.
"I've been really busy these days. I was planning to contact you after I was done, but I didn't expect to meet you here." Lin Fan explained with a look of apology on his face.
"Hmph, I don't believe a word you say now." Lin Fan curled his lips and thought to himself, the more beautiful a woman is, the better she is at making up stories!
Qin Ruoshui helplessly picked up the photo taken by Lin Ruzhou and looked at it for a long time. She always felt that it looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it.
After chatting for a while, Lin Fan stood up and said goodbye: "Mr. Lin, we will not disturb you any further. We look forward to hearing from you."
"Okay, take care." Lin Ruzhou nodded and saw them out the door.
After watching Lin Fan leave, Qin Ruoshui turned to Lin Ruzhou and asked for a photo: "Uncle Lin, can you give me a photo?"
"What? Have you really seen this jade?" Lin Ruzhou asked curiously.
"It looks familiar. Let me think about it carefully." Qin Ruoshui stared at the car disappearing in the distance and made up her mind that she must get the original painting of Tang Yin!
In the car, Shopkeeper Chen looked at Lin Fan and said with emotion, "Mr. Lin, I'm so sorry that I couldn't help you this time."
"Manager Chen, you are so polite. I appreciate your kindness. There is a long way to go and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future." Lin Fan said sincerely.
Hearing Lin Fan's words, Shopkeeper Chen immediately smiled and felt that this trip was worth it.
After sending Manager Chen off, Lin Fan prepared to return to the company. However, when he was about to arrive at the company, his cell phone suddenly rang.
"Brother Fan, I finally found someone from Xuanqing Sect!" Lu Guanglai's excited voice came from the receiver, "You guessed right, Murong Yan, the second son of Xuanqing Sect, is indeed here."
"Moreover, I also found out that they are secretly investigating the Zhao family." Lu Guanglai continued.
"Investigate the Zhao family?" Lin Fan's eyes suddenly turned cold. "Are they looking for trouble?"
"Where are they hiding now?" Lin Fan asked in a deep voice.
"I'll send you the exact location. I'm keeping an eye on them nearby now." Lu Guanglai replied.
"Okay, I'll be there right away." After hanging up the phone, Lin Fan quickly informed the driver, Shen Wei, of the address. "Change your itinerary and go to this place."
"Aren't we going back to the company? Brother Fan, what are we going there for?" Shen Wei asked curiously.
"Go take care of some things." Lin Fan said lightly, with a cold glint in his eyes.
Meanwhile, inside Murong Yan's villa, the atmosphere was extremely tense. The one-eyed man was reporting the results of his investigation to Murong Yan, his expression solemn and cold.
"What can be confirmed is that the Third Young Master disappeared after visiting the Zhao family," the one-eyed man said in a deep voice, "Their deaths are definitely inextricably linked to the Zhao family."
Murong Yan glanced coldly at Ouyang Yi's portrait, his heart filled with murderous intent, "Who is that person?" he asked sternly.
"His name is Lin Fan, and he's Zhao Ziqing's fiancé. It's said that he was the one who defeated the Third Young Master and his men and let them escape," the one-eyed man replied. "However, we currently have no conclusive evidence proving that the Third Young Master and his men died at his hands."
"I never need evidence to kill someone." Murong Yan's eyes were as cold and ruthless as ice. "Third brother, just wait and see. I will use his head as a sacrifice to you... and that bitch Zhao Ziqing! Don't you want to share her with me?
"Then you'll see how I torture her! I'll send her to accompany you when I've tortured her enough!" His voice was already gritting his teeth when he said the last few words.
"Second Young Master, when are we going to start?" the one-eyed man asked impatiently. There was a cruel and bloodthirsty light flashing in his one eye, as if he couldn't wait to taste the pleasure of killing.
However, at this moment, one of his men rushed in and shouted, "Second Young Master, something bad has happened! The law enforcers are here!" This news was like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone present. They had not expected the law enforcers to suddenly visit at this time. What on earth was going on?
Murong Yan pondered for a moment and finally spoke.
In a moment, Lin Fan and the other two had entered the house.
"Head of the law enforcers? I'm Murong Yan." He stood up as he spoke, his eyes fixed on Lu Guanglai. "I wonder what brings you here?"
"We are here for Ouyang Yi's matter." Lu Guanglai remained silent, while Lin Fan whispered the purpose of this trip.
"Are you the person in charge here?" Murong Yan was a little surprised. Could it be that this calm middle-aged man was not the real person in charge?
"You came to Ancheng, are you trying to avenge Ouyang Yi?" Lin Fan asked again.
"Indeed." Murong Yan's voice was cold. "Now that I've come to this, I'll be frank. Lin Fan, that ancient warrior, killed my brother. As a result of our blood feud, I will take his life!"
Hearing this, Lu Guanglai and Shen Wei looked at each other, secretly sighing that Murong Yan really didn't know how to live or die.
"When will the cycle of revenge ever end? The martial arts world isn't just about fighting and killing; it's also about understanding human relationships." Lin Fan stared at Murong Yan. "How about this: give me some face and let go of your hatred?"
"What did you say?" Murong Yan couldn't believe it. Could it be that this deep blood feud was resolved just because of his words? Who the hell did he think he was?
"I say your brother deserves death," Lin Fan stated calmly. "He's an ancient warrior, yet he oppresses the people and attempts to control the Zhao family."
"His death is related to you law enforcers?" Murong Yan's face suddenly changed.
"It has nothing to do with us." Lin Fan shook his head and sighed, "Are you truly determined to seek revenge? Is there no room for negotiation?"
"No!" Murong Yan's eyes were filled with murderous intent. "Killing someone means paying with your life. It's only natural!"
"It seems like you law enforcers really can't handle this matter." Lin Fan turned to Lu Guang and said, "Old Lu, you all heard it. Go wait outside and remember to close the door."
"Okay!" Lu Guanglai answered readily and left with Shen Wei.
"You are not a law enforcer? Who are you?" Murong Yan finally realized something was wrong and asked in a deep voice.
"My name is Lin Fan." He smiled faintly. "Don't you want to kill me to avenge your brother? I'm right in front of you now."
"What? You are Lin Fan?" Murong Yan was shocked.
