"Kid! You just wait, I'm not letting you off!" The four men, dragging one of their own, scrambled out of the shop, not forgetting to issue a threat.
Watching the four figures flee in disarray, Lin Fang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Elder Fan! What's going on? Why are they bothering you?" Lin Fang helped Elder Fan to sit down and asked.
"Alas... this... this is all because of your Lin family!" Elder Fan sighed deeply, glanced at Lin Fang, and then said hesitantly.
"Lin family!!" Lin Fang's face immediately showed a hint of anger.
"Lin family?" Lu Fan looked at Lin Fang in surprise. Lin Fang and the Lin family... had a connection?
"Elder Fan! Tell me what happened?" Lin Fang asked urgently. She had left the provincial capital many years ago and no longer had any feelings for the Lin family, rather a bit of disgust.
"Alas! Your Lin family's prodigal young master, Lin Quan, somehow got wind that I had a top-grade Emperor Jade gemstone necklace. He wanted to get it for a million yuan.
I said I didn't have it, but they didn't believe me. So they sent these scoundrels to guard here every day, preventing me from doing business. Whenever a customer came, they would cause trouble, either scaring the customers away or threatening me to sell my shop, preventing me from operating.
Don't say I don't have the Emperor Jade necklace; even if I did, that thing is worth tens of millions. You tell me, isn't this outright robbery?" Elder Fan sighed deeply.
"Holy crap..." Lu Fan almost fell off his seat. A necklace worth tens of millions? What kind of neck could match such an expensive necklace? Wouldn't it break the neck? Poverty truly limits imagination. Looking at it this way, the fifty thousand yuan from earlier... wasn't that expensive!
"Lin family! They are truly shameless!" Lin Fang said angrily, cursing fiercely!
"Lin family girl! You haven't been here for over ten years, and I've heard some things about you. This young friend just helped me teach those scoundrels a lesson. To show my gratitude, I'll give this jade pendant to you. You should leave quickly. Those guys suffered a great loss and won't give up easily. Cough cough... cough cough..." Elder Fan said while coughing.
"Elder Fan! After causing so much trouble, your shop probably can't stay open anymore. Why don't you just sell it to them and retire at home? Wouldn't that be better?" Lu Fan frowned slightly. He could tell that Elder Fan might not be in good health due to his age. And now that he had provoked these hooligans, although Lu Fan could leave, the old man would likely face more trouble in the future.
"They don't want to buy my shop; they just want to cause trouble." Elder Fan handed the contracts that the ruffians had left on the table to Lin Fang and Lu Fan, and then said, "Forget it, I won't open the shop anymore. My granddaughter just returned from abroad, and I, while I can still move, can spend a few good years with my granddaughter."
Elder Fan began to pack his things.
Lin Fang and Lu Fan glanced at the contract and were so angry they wanted to curse. This Lin Quan was too detestable, wanting to buy the shop for a mere hundred yuan! This was clearly deliberate provocation! Although the shop was not large, in a prosperous place like the provincial capital, it would cost at least a million.
"Elder Fan! I'll buy this pendant. How about this, you pack your things, and we'll take you back. You can entrust someone else to sell this shop later, and you don't need to come here anymore." Lu Fan picked up the pendant. He wasn't worried about those hooligans; he was worried about Lin Quan, that scoundrel.
From Lin Quan hiring thugs to attack him, it was evident he was a shameless and cruel person. If he couldn't get that Emperor Jade necklace, he probably wouldn't give up.
"Let's go!" Elder Fan collected a few semi-finished jade pieces that were being processed inside the shop, and didn't bother with anything else. He locked the shop door and, with Lin Fang and Lu Fan, prepared to leave.
"Heh heh heh! Elder Fan! Are you leaving?"
As they stepped out of the shop, a voice came. A Porsche sedan was parked at the entrance, and the car window rolled down, revealing a face.
"Lin Quan?"
"Lin Quan!"
"Lin Quan...!!"
The three of them recognized the newcomer as Lin Quan, the young master of the Lin family, almost simultaneously. Seven or eight people got out of the two cars parked in front of and behind Lin Quan's car. They were all strong and muscular, clearly martial artists.
"Damn it! It's you again, you little brat!" Lin Quan also recognized Lu Fan beside Elder Fan and immediately cursed angrily!
The four hooligans had called to say they were beaten, and he thought some ignorant person was meddling. He never expected it to be this country bumpkin, Lu Fan.
"Lin Quan! You are truly disgracing the Lin family like this!" Lin Fang suddenly cursed from the side.
"Oh? Isn't this the aunt who was kicked out of the Lin family?" Lin Quan glanced at Lin Fang and suddenly recognized her. He said with disdain, "You are no longer a member of the Lin family, so what right do you have to lecture me?
Hmph! You must be in your forties now, haven't you gotten married yet? Do you want me to do you a favor and have them serve you? Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste to have been born a woman!"
"Hahaha!" A burst of wild laughter erupted from the side. Two of them even looked eager to try.
"You bastard..." Lin Fang's face turned red with anger, wishing she could pounce and bite this scoundrel!
"Hmph! Go... cripple that kid for me. The old woman is for you!" Lin Quan's face showed a hint of ferocity as he pointed at Lu Fan and roared. Damn it! Since he ran into this country bumpkin here, he couldn't let him go.
Whoosh... eight people rushed towards Lu Fan. Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh... Fists whistling through the air landed towards Lu Fan. It was clear that each of them had good skills.
Lu Fan quickly stepped forward, blocking Elder Fan and Lin Fang behind him, and engaged the eight men.
Whoosh... a fist fiercely swung towards Lu Fan's face. If this punch landed, Lu Fan's features would likely be disfigured.
Whoosh... Lu Fan suddenly threw a punch to meet it. However, his target was not the opponent's fist, but the opponent's wrist.
Bang... With a crisp snap, the guy's wrist broke!
"Ah...!" A scream of pain immediately followed.
Then Lu Fan squatted down, dodging a kick from behind. At the same time, he kicked out. He precisely kicked the guy's lower leg, which was supporting his weight. Crack... the leg also broke!
"Ah..." Another scream, and the guy fell to the ground, wailing.
He hadn't used his full strength against the four guys earlier, but facing these eight, Lu Fan was very cautious. However, as soon as he started fighting, he was pleasantly surprised to find that although these eight men seemed to have great strength and were very fierce, their movements were actually very slow. He could hit them almost wherever he wanted.
Bang bang bang... After a flurry of punches and kicks, all eight men were lying on the ground. Either their arms or legs were broken.
"Lin Quan, you bastard..." Lu Fan turned to look for Lin Quan again, only to find that Lin Quan had already vanished.
"Grandpa! Grandpa! What's wrong? What happened?" Suddenly, a voice with a very sweet tone came, followed by a girl running over. Lu Fan's eyes were immediately drawn to her.
The girl was tall and stylishly dressed, wearing a very short leather skirt that revealed her straight, slender legs. A tight-fitting vest accentuated her ample curves, revealing her feminine advantages. Her small face was so beautiful that it was unforgettable.
"Holy cow! Is this Elder Fan's granddaughter? She's so beautiful!" Lu Fan gulped.
