Lin Ya entered private room number seven and found it empty.
"Does she know I intend to kill her?" To confirm her suspicion, Lin Ya prepared to call Lin Tianxin to find out her whereabouts.
Suddenly, a male waiter crawled out from under the table, holding a dagger and menacingly saying, "Finally, I've got you. Die!"
Lin Ya was greatly startled and quickly explained, "You've got the wrong person. You're not looking for me!"
But the assassin didn't listen to her explanation. He brandished his dagger and lunged at her.
"Ah!"
In her panic, Lin Ya managed to dodge the fatal blow, but her cheek was still cut by the dagger.
"My face, my face..."
The assassin ignored Lin Ya's screams and tried to stab her again, but at that moment, the restaurant staff rushed in. Fearing exposure, the assassin quickly turned and fled.
...
As soon as Lin Tianxin returned home, she received a call from Lin Zhenxiong.
"Tianxin, your sister is in trouble. Hurry to the hospital!"
"What?"
Despite her doubts, Lin Tianxin rushed to the hospital. She wanted to see what tricks Lin Ya was up to.
At the hospital, Lin Tianxin looked at Lin Ya, who had fainted on the hospital bed, and showed a look of fear. A bloodstain ran across her entire face, leaving her utterly disfigured.
At that moment, Lin Ya woke up and tearfully questioned, "Sister, why are you so cruel as to ruin my face?"
Lin Tianxin was instantly stunned. What did this have to do with her?
"What's going on?"
Lin Zhenxiong asked, bewildered.
Lin Ya knew it was too late for regret, but she could use this to frame Lin Tianxin, though the cost was too high.
"I was worried about you going out alone, Sister, so I followed you to private room number seven. I didn't expect you to arrange for an assassin to attack me in the room. If the restaurant staff hadn't arrived in time, I might have been more than just disfigured, *sob sob*..."
"What?"
Lin Tianxin was filled with apprehension. If she hadn't stumbled upon this by chance and gone to private room number seven, then Lin Ya's fate would have been her own.
Could this be that person saving her life again from beyond? No, Lin Tianxin immediately dismissed the thought. This was no excuse for Yun Fan's scoundrel behavior.
Lin Zhenxiong was also confused. If Lin Ya wanted to harm Lin Tianxin, why would the assassin attack Lin Ya? Had they misunderstood Lin Ya?
"This is something that can't be explained in a moment. In any case, I didn't harm you!" Lin Tianxin was too lazy to offer further explanations.
"Dad! You have to make justice for me!" Lin Ya insisted, refusing to let it go.
"Enough!"
Lin Zhenxiong immediately comforted her, "You focus on your recovery. I will investigate this matter!"
"Yes!"
Lin Ya agreed with a wronged expression, but her hatred had reached its peak. "Lin Tianxin, I ended up like this because of you. One day, I will repay you a hundredfold for my suffering!"
...
Li Island Bar.
Yun Fan looked at the table full of wine in front of him, feeling depressed. Every day in Jiangnan was an extravagant expense. Earlier that day, he had called his seventh senior sister for funds, but she had outright refused, telling him to sort it out himself.
He hadn't known how high the cost of living in Jiangnan was before coming down the mountain. Now, unless he could find a wealthy sugar mama to support him, he wouldn't be able to solve his financial crisis.
Look for Jiang Xueyan? Given Jiang Xueyan's high spending habits, this wouldn't be finding a sugar mama, but rather inviting a living ancestor!
Look for Lin Tianxin? Lin Tianxin already had so many orphans to support. If he went to her, wouldn't it just increase her burden?
He really couldn't be bothered with anyone else. After all, he had requirements for a sugar mama, and anyone below these two was not even worth considering.
At this moment, a woman, talking on the phone, sat down in front of him.
"Dad, I've arrived in Jiangnan. I have a class reunion tomorrow, so I can't talk for long!"
Just as the woman was about to hang up, the voice on the other end reminded her, "Zhilan, be careful in Jiangnan of the murderer who killed your senior brother. After I handle things here, I'll come to avenge your senior brother!"
"Don't worry, Dad! Even if that guy had a hundred more guts, he wouldn't dare to lay a hand on the daughter of the Seven Provinces Fist King. He's probably cowering in a corner right now, dead!"
"Seven Provinces Fist King, what kind of bragging is that!"
Yun Fan scoffed internally. He was the leader of Nanshan Village! Had he ever shown off? At this moment, he casually glanced at the woman and was instantly stunned.
Although this girl wasn't as captivating as the mature and elegant Lin Tianxin or Jiang Xueyan, who could charm thousands of men, she possessed a unique beauty. With her porcelain doll face, she was the epitome of the loli type.
"What are you looking at? Be careful, I'll gouge out your dog eyes!" Bai Zhilan fiercely cursed Yun Fan, who was appraising her.
Yun Fan withdrew his gaze. "Miss, this is my table!"
"You're the miss, your whole family is the miss!" Bai Zhilan said haughtily. "Here's a thousand. Get lost to another table and don't disturb my mood!"
Yun Fan couldn't believe Bai Zhilan's unreasonable behavior. Was he someone who could be insulted by money? It was laughable.
"Make it two thousand..."
"Slap!"
Bai Zhilan threw down two thousand. "Take it and get lost quickly!"
"Got it!"
Yun Fan thought to himself, this woman just needs to be taught a lesson, the kind taught in bed. He pocketed the money, not forgetting to take his wine.
Truth be told, it wasn't about the paltry sum of money, but he didn't want to argue with Bai Zhilan.
"Lanlan, why didn't you tell me you were coming to Jiangnan! I could have picked you up!"
Just then, a fat man, accompanied by several bodyguards, walked in obsequiously.
Bai Zhilan said with disgust, "Jiang Da Pang, why are you everywhere? You're like a persistent ghost!"
Jiang Da Pang was unfazed. "It's your charm! My sister has already agreed to let me pursue you. We are a perfect match, destined for each other!"
"Pfft!"
Yun Fan almost spat out his wine. He couldn't believe a fatty weighing nearly two hundred pounds could say such a thing.
"Who does your sister think she is, needing her permission? She calls herself the number one beauty and is even more shameless than you!"
Bai Zhilan spoke harshly, "If you dare to pester me again, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"I don't care. If you don't agree to me, I'm not leaving!"
"Believe it or not, I'll beat you to death?"
"Even if you beat me to death, I won't leave!"
Jiang Da Pang adopted the attitude of a dead pig unafraid of boiling water.
Bai Zhilan was defeated by his shamelessness and was pondering how to resolve the situation when she saw Yun Fan, who was about to move to another table.
"Got it!"
Bai Zhilan said directly, "I happen to have another suitor. If you can defeat him, I'll agree to your pursuit!"
Given Jiang Da Pang's physique, most people wouldn't be his match. However, she saw that Yun Fan was muscular and strong, and likely able to defeat Jiang Da Pang.
Yun Fan was about to explain when Bai Zhilan whispered, "Defeat him, and I'll give you ten thousand!"
Yun Fan disdained. This Bai Zhilan was too confident. Did she really think she could buy him off with money? What's so great about having a bit of money?
"It needs to cost more!"
"Twenty thousand!"
"Deal!"
Jiang Da Pang was unhappy. He couldn't believe someone dared to risk their life to compete with him for a woman. He then shouted at Yun Fan, "Kid, if you're a man, come out and fight me one-on-one. I'll beat you into a pig's head!"
"Your courage is commendable!"
Since someone had made such an outrageous request, he had no reason not to fulfill it!
"Fight, fight!"
As Bai Zhilan and her group egged them on, Jiang Da Pang threw a punch. Just as he thought Yun Fan would be hit by this punch, he didn't expect Yun Fan to catch it effortlessly.
"Impossible!"
Jiang Da Pang was greatly shocked. He had been practicing for several years, and most people couldn't match him.
"This guy has some strength!"
Bai Zhilan secretly admired him.
The next moment, Yun Fan counter-attacked with a punch to his stomach.
"Bang!"
"Ah!"
Jiang Da Pang groaned in pain and crouched on the ground.
"Young Master!"
Several bodyguards were enraged and were about to charge forward, but Jiang Da Pang stopped them.
"We agreed on a one-on-one fight. I accept my defeat!"
Jiang Da Pang said to Yun Fan through gritted teeth, "But I won't give up!"
"Again?"
Facing Yun Fan's question, Jiang Da Pang boldly declared, "Kid, I can't beat you, but my sister can defeat you with one hand. Do you dare to fight my sister?"
"You even brought your sister into this. Have you no shame?"
Bai Zhilan taunted.
But Jiang Da Pang showed no embarrassment and sternly asked Yun Fan, "Kid, I'm asking you, do you dare?"
"I never hit women!" Yun Fan flatly refused. Of course, Lin Ya was an exception. That kind of woman deserved to be beaten.
"Hmph! I think you're scared!" Jiang Da Pang scoffed. "My sister will also be at the reunion tomorrow. If you're a man, you'll be there!"
After issuing his threat, he didn't care if Yun Fan agreed or not and said to his bodyguards, "Let's go!"
Yun Fan didn't take Jiang Da Pang's words seriously. It didn't matter if he wasn't a man, as he was still a pure boy.
"I've already helped you solve your trouble. Will the twenty thousand be transferred or cash?" Yun Fan held out his hand to Bai Zhilan, as this twenty thousand could solve his immediate urgent need.
Unexpectedly, Bai Zhilan suddenly changed her mind. "I'll pay you tomorrow."
"Are you going back on your word?" Yun Fan was angry. How could business be done without integrity?
Bai Zhilan replied triumphantly, "I didn't say I'd go back on my word, but I didn't say I'd give it to you now. It could be tomorrow!"
"If you don't give me the twenty thousand, I'll spank your butt!" Yun Fan decided to resort to force against such a scoundrel.
"You dare?"
Bai Zhilan threatened, "My dad is the Seven Provinces Fist King. I don't believe you dare to hit me!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Yun Fan directly stepped forward, pinned her down, and then slapped her on the butt.
"You..."
Bai Zhilan was extremely ashamed and indignant. She didn't expect Yun Fan to actually dare to hit her butt.
Immediately afterward, Yun Fan slapped her twice more. "If I want to, I can even turn the Seven Provinces Fist King into a turtle!"
"You're finished, you're finished! My dad won't let you go!"
Bai Zhilan, like a tigress, roared at Yun Fan. However, seeing Yun Fan's hand about to descend again, she immediately shut up, as her butt was still burning from the pain, and she didn't want another slap.
"I'll give you ten thousand first. After you completely solve my troubles tomorrow, I'll give you another thirty thousand!"
"Deal!"
Yun Fan agreed without thinking. Although money was dirt, he was most in need of dirt right now. One should be open-minded and not let money get in the way.
But Bai Zhilan was roaring in her heart, "You scoundrel, I will not let you go! Even if you're lucky enough not to be beaten to death by that violent woman, my dad will chop off your hands!"
