Chapter 202: Chapter 201: Reunion

“Old Marshal, I need to go out to pick someone up, Mr. Yuan and his family from Hai City have arrived.”

Lin Fan had been sitting idly in his room all afternoon.

The formula for the Qi Replenishing Pill had been sent out, but as for its effects?

It still needed time to ferment…

He didn’t come back to his senses until the sunset twilight and the descent of night.

He was awakened by the buzzing sound of his phone vibrating.

The message was from Yuan Youwei.

She said that the Hai City Medical Procurement Conference had successfully concluded.

And that their group was on a private plane, about to land at Imperial Capital International Airport.

Putting away his phone, Lin Fan perked up.

Immediately, he went out into the yard to request from Mr. Xia Sr.

“I promise I won’t cause trouble, I’ll just pick them up and come back.”

“Hai City Yuan family… hm, alright, I’ll have Xiao Hao go with you, bring them to stay at our home.”

Upon hearing this, Mr. Xia Sr., who was slowly practicing Tai Chi in the garden, couldn’t help but have his expression change.

After hesitating for a moment, he nodded toward Tie Hao, who was standing by.

There’s no choice, this kid Lin Fan always causes trouble.

If no one keeps an eye on him, God knows what mess he’ll stir up.

“I want to go too! Humph, I want to see how beautiful that Yuan Youwei, who fancies herself out of my league, really is!”

Summer Ice, sitting in the pavilion with her chin resting on her hands, stood up abruptly out of boredom.

The girl’s bright eyes were full of hostility, glaring at Lin Fan with ill intent.

As if daring him to disagree, knowing it might very well be his end.

“Nonsense! Why are you going, are you even familiar with them, aren’t you afraid of making a fool of yourself!”

Lin Fan’s mouth twitched slightly, feeling like his scalp was about to explode.

Luckily, Mr. Xia Sr. glared at Summer Ice, his tiger-like eyes pointing toward the kitchen.

“Go help Mrs. Wu prepare the dinner. Today we have important guests, and our Xia family will hold a banquet for them!”

“Aren’t you afraid I’ll poison the food and kill that vixen Yuan Youwei?”

Summer Ice defiantly stretched her slender, white neck, yelling loudly.

“Ahem, ahem… Bingbing, that’s enough. If you keep this up, you’ll get back to working overtime at the company!”

Mr. Xia Sr. coughed repeatedly, his face turning green with frustration.

Lin Fan was even more speechless.

He quickly gave a meaningful glance to Tie Hao, who was trying hard not to laugh, and they both hurriedly left.

“Kid, how many debts of love do you owe… Fortunately, Miss cares for you sincerely, sigh.”

The two of them sped toward the airport in the black Mercedes outside the courtyard gate.

Tie Hao shook his head with a smile, glancing at Lin Fan in the passenger seat.

“Perhaps, this is fate.”

Lin Fan withdrew his gaze from the window, falling into a short-lived trance.

He once felt dejected, wanting only to stay with his mother and wife Su Mengqing for the rest of his life.

But now, everything has changed.

How should he decide? He hadn’t made up his mind yet.

“Lin Fan!”

“Young Master! I’ve missed you so much, you promised to wait for me but snuck off by yourself!”

After a while, the black Mercedes pulled up outside the airport exit.

Lin Fan got out of the car, stood by the arrival corridor, and gazed outward for a moment.

He saw Mr. Yuan and his group following the crowd, walking towards him.

Meeting each other’s gaze, Yuan Youwei’s face lit up with joy.

She quickly tossed her suitcase to Wang Meng, who was following behind, and ran toward Lin Fan in her high heels.

Whoosh!

Unexpectedly, Wu Miaomiao, chewing gum nearby, was even faster.

She dashed straight at Lin Fan, giving him a bear hug!

“Who is this guy, how come he’s surrounded by girls?”

“Damn it, what does he have that I don’t? Why does he have two beautiful girlfriends!”

Immediately, passersby stopped and pointed at Lin Fan and the two girls.

Many men cast envious, jealous, and resentful glances his way.

“Get down, get down, this is so unbecoming!”

In those peculiar stares,

Lin Fan’s whole body shook, his face turning green.

His attention was fixated on Yuan Youwei.

Just as he was distracted, Wu Miaomiao took advantage of the opportunity!

Feeling the softness pressing against his chest, his face flushed, and he hurriedly pushed her away.

“Cough, is everything alright over in Haicheng?”

Lin Fan noticed that Yuan Youwei slowed her steps, and the joyful smile on her face faded significantly.

Her charming eyes, however, bore a hint of resentment.

Mrs. Xue, following behind her, rolled her eyes dramatically.

Feeling a tingling in his scalp, Lin Fan hurriedly coughed to try and change the subject.

Luckily, Xia Bingbing wasn’t brought along as a jealous nuisance.

Otherwise, if these three women met, they might start fighting on the spot…

“Nothing much, the last day of the procurement conference went smoothly, just a bit of an accident.”

Yuan Youwei shot a glance at Wu Miaomiao at her side, grinding her teeth in frustration.

She stared coldly at Lin Fan, speaking in an official tone.

“Ah Lu and Mr. Han Sr., who were locked in the manor, were all killed by a strange old man.”

“Yuan Lang and the others had their limbs, eyes, tongues, and ears disabled, left as crippled… Even the people of the Han family in the provincial capital were silenced overnight, all dead clean.”

After saying this, Yuan Youwei fell into silence, a trace of fear appearing in her eyes.

“This is the blurred footage captured by surveillance.”

She took out her phone, opened the album, and handed it to Lin Fan.

“… Uncle Qian, the old steward of the Ying family?”

Lin Fan glanced at the screenshot from the surveillance video on the screen, frowning slightly.

This elderly man kept a low profile but was truly a master, once the personal guard of Mr. Ying.

His status within the Ying family was quite high, not easily commanded by others.

Even Uncle Qian was alarmed, personally going to Haicheng to kill and silence…

And for what reason?

Thoughts swirling in his head, Lin Fan didn’t want to think further, shaking his head.

“Let’s go, don’t stay at a hotel, I’ll take you to the Xia Family Mansion. After everything’s settled, we’ll return to Haicheng together.”

“The Xia Family Mansion? Is it the Xia family of Mr. Xia Jiangnan, the National Guardian War God?”

Just then.

Mr. Yuan Sr. and a few others also walked over.

Hearing Lin Fan mention this.

The old man looked quite moved, his eyes lighting up sharply.

Yuan Youwei and Mrs. Xue, standing beside him, exchanged shocked glances.

They always thought Lin Fan had an extraordinary background.

Apart from his identity as the Young Master of the Vermilion Bird Building, there must be deeper connections.

Who would’ve thought he even had such vast connections with the Imperial Capital Xia Family!

“It must be Old Marshal’s Xia Family Mansion, my elder brother back then was… cough cough cough, never mind, a great man doesn’t boast about past achievements.”

Wang Meng, standing nearby with bags in hand, was full of pride.

He was about to continue but realized he’d almost let something slip, frantically coughing to hide his embarrassment.

“Yes, I have some friendship with Mr. Xia Sr., and will stay at the Xia Family Mansion for the next few days. When he heard you were coming, he specifically instructed to have you stay over as well and prepared a welcoming banquet.”

Lin Fan casually glanced at Wang Meng, then smiled at the pleasantly surprised Mr. Yuan Sr.

What, not only can they stay at the Xia Family Mansion.

Even Mr. Xia Sr. personally prepared a welcoming banquet?

“This… this is really giving us too much honor; we’re truly unworthy, absolutely unworthy!”

Mr. Yuan Sr. was overjoyed, his face beaming red, smiling so widely that his mouth was crooked.

Yuan Youwei and Mrs. Xue were both equally astonished and delighted.

One must admit, Lin Fan’s influence in the Imperial Capital was truly impressive.

Even their group was benefiting from it.

Being honored by such a significant figure as Mr. Xia Sr.!

“My elder brother is very familiar with the Xia family, often staying at the mansion. I heard he even has a dedicated room, and Miss Xia Bingbing, Mr. Xia Sr.’s granddaughter, also… hehe, I’ll go load the luggage in the car!”

Wang Meng, who knew the truth, straightened his back with immense pride.

But before he could finish, Lin Fan shot him a cold glare.

Startled, Wang Meng shrank his neck and fled in panic.

“Mr. Xia Sr.’s granddaughter, Xia Bingbing?”

Yuan Youwei widened her enchanting eyes, looking at Lin Fan with a half-smile.

Mrs. Xue and Wu Miaomiao next to her also immediately pricked up their ears in alertness.

Even Mr. Yuan Sr.’s smile paused, his eyebrows raising in surprise.

“Don’t listen to that fool Wang Meng’s nonsense. Mr. Xia treats me as a student and friend, there’s absolutely nothing else.”

Lin Fan’s face turned green, gritting his teeth to suppress the urge to pummel Wang Meng.

“Let’s head to the Xia Family Mansion first, don’t keep Mr. Xia Sr. and the others waiting!”

Quickly saying this, Lin Fan with a grim face briskly chased after Wang Meng.

He had to have a word with that bastard.

If he lets slip again, these women will surely nag him to death!
