In a large room in a hotel, three foreigners, two men and one woman, were chattering away. Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and a burly foreigner dragged Fan Xue'er in.
Bang... Fan Xue'er was thrown to the ground! Then came a wave of lewd laughter and curses.
"Hahaha! Got a really hot chick! What do you think? Am I amazing? Let's all have fun together! Hahaha..."
"Wow... pretty good! Let me go first..."
...
The room was filled with chattering sounds, and even the foreign woman was scrambling to go first.
Bang... The door was suddenly opened again. Someone walked in. Bang, bang... Then the door was closed and locked.
"It's you again! Trash! It's too late for you to get out now, you... damn you." The previous foreigner's face contorted with ferocity as he stared at Lu Fan, walking towards him arrogantly. Whoosh... He suddenly threw a punch towards Lu Fan's face.
Slap... Lu Fan caught the fist.
"This hand of yours should have been crippled long ago!" Lu Fan's face was extremely ferocious. With a slight exertion of force, a cracking sound was heard. m..oΓg
"Ah..." The foreigner let out a scream, but before he could finish, something was shoved into his mouth, forcibly silencing his cry.
It was a stone... and a rather nice one. Jade!
The other foreigners were stunned. What kind of strength could crush a fist like that?
Swish... Three people almost simultaneously drew out their concealed weapons. Handguns! And silenced ones at that!
Swish... As soon as the three drew their guns, they felt a figure flash before them. Their hands were instantly empty, and then they felt something hit their heads. All three fell down.
Seeing Lu Fan release his hand, the previous foreigner, ignoring the pain of his shattered bones, turned to run. Bang... Suddenly, a hand like an iron hook grabbed his shoulder, preventing him from taking another step.
Bang... Bang... Punch after punch landed on the foreigner's body, accompanied by the sound of breaking bones. The man's face contorted in pain, but he couldn't utter a sound.
Whoosh... Lu Fan completely reduced the man to a boneless creature, finally relieving some of his anger. He then turned to look at the other two men and one woman.
These people were clearly not ordinary. They were carrying guns. Especially the woman, who was scantily clad, revealing very strong muscles, as if she were a professional bodybuilder.
Slap... Lu Fan's palm landed on the woman's forehead... The Falcon Hunting Group? They were here to kill him?
Lu Fan sneered. Even foreigners wanted to kill him! It seemed he had been too conspicuous.
Slap, slap... Lu Fan patted the woman's face. The woman slowly opened her eyes. Upon seeing Lu Fan's face, she flinched backward in fright.
"Do you recognize me?" Lu Fan asked with a playful smile.
The woman didn't understand what he meant. Her eyes darted around, and then she suddenly unbuttoned her clothes, speaking in broken words, "As long as you don't... kill me. I'll... do anything you want..."
"Hmph! I want you to remember this face, and I want you to know my name is... Lu Fan!" Lu Fan slammed his hand onto the woman's neck and with a crack... she was dead!
"You...!" The woman's eyes widened like light bulbs in shock! It was unclear if she had managed to remember Lu Fan's face.
Lu Fan turned around and dealt with the other two. Then, he sent a message and, picking up Fan Xue'er, walked out of the room as if nothing had happened.
He didn't need to worry about the aftermath; he knew someone would handle it. He carried Fan Xue'er out of the hotel.
"Uh..." When Fan Xue'er woke up, she suddenly realized she was being held in someone's arms and instinctively tried to struggle. However, she then saw Lu Fan's face. Her eyes suddenly turned moist.
She hooked her arms around Lu Fan's neck, hid her face on his shoulder, and closed her eyes. She didn't want this dream to end...
...
At the Bai family hotel, Zhuge Xian and the others devoured a table full of dishes and several large bowls of rice before wiping their mouths.
"Waiter! The bill!" Zhuge Wu called out towards the door.
"Sir! Your bill has already been settled!" A young waitress entered from the doorway and said politely.
"What? Are you sure? We don't seem to have any acquaintances here!" Zhuge Xian and the others' eyes widened.
"It has indeed been settled. Your friend also left us a card with five hundred thousand yuan on it. He said you can stay here for a few days and enjoy yourselves. All expenses are on him!" The waitress handed a bank card to Zhuge Wu.
"It must be Hua Thirty-Five! That guy!" Hua Laoda thought for a moment. Besides Hua Thirty-Five, no one knew their identities, nor would they have friends like this.
"That scoundrel, he thinks this will make me forgive him? Hmph! He wishes!" Zhuge Xian said indignantly.
...
Lu Fan placed Fan Xue'er in the car and said with a faint smile, "Stop pretending to be asleep. Tell me, how did you end up here, drugged?"
"I..." Fan Xue'er blushed and had no choice but to open her eyes.
"Xiao Fan, what just happened? Why am I in your arms?" Fan Xue'er suddenly asked.
"You were drugged by a foreigner, and I happened to run into you. So, I rescued you. Otherwise, you would have..." Lu Fan said with a hint of annoyance. A girl who didn't know how to protect herself at all. Sigh!
"I... I followed someone to this hotel! I didn't expect to encounter that foreigner. He said he didn't understand Chinese and asked me to help him read the menu and recommend some dishes. I didn't expect this guy to be so wicked. He gave me a drink, and then I didn't know anything else!" Fan Xue'er pouted.
"Followed someone?" Lu Fan frowned, looking at Fan Xue'er in surprise. "Who were you following?"
"After I returned to the provincial capital, I opened a high-end brand clothing store. Today, a man bought clothes at our store, and I noticed he was wearing a Pisces Jade Pendant. The jade in that pendant is exactly the same as the jade in the Emperor's Jade Necklace we had back then!
I suddenly remembered what Grandpa said about my father's mysterious death at home... So I... If I had known there was danger, I wouldn't have come out." Fan Xue'er lowered her head.
"Pisces Jade Pendant?" Lu Fan was also slightly taken aback.
