Lu Fan took out two pills and offered them to Yang Xiu with a smile, saying, "It's just two pills. Although I wouldn't sell this for ten million, Grandpa Yang helped me out a lot last time. These two pills are for you!"
Old Master Bai and Yang Qian were both a little embarrassed. They had received the pills, but they were given out of respect for Yang Xiu. If Yang Xiu hadn't helped last time, they wouldn't have sold them even for ten million. How could the two of them not understand this?
Of course, Lu Fan wasn't foolish either. He naturally knew that these two pills were bought for Old Master Bai and Yang Qian with Yang Xiu's help.
"Lu Fan! If you ever need anything, just say the word. Although we are old bones, we can still go through fire and water for you," Yang Xiu said hurriedly. Only he knew the preciousness of these pills. As a martial cultivator, the most important thing was the improvement of one's realm.
Lu Fan's eyes darted around, and he suddenly asked, "Do any of you seniors know about Huarong Prefecture?"
"Huarong Prefecture?"
"Huarong Prefecture?"
Old Master Bai and the others' faces immediately showed surprise.
"Lu Fan! How do you know about Huarong Prefecture?" Old Master Bai suddenly lowered his voice, as if afraid of being overheard.
"Two old fellows have been pestering me to join Huarong Prefecture. I was helpless, so I agreed," Lu Fan said lightly.
"!!!"
Old Master Bai, Yang Xiu, and Yang Qian's expressions changed instantly. They suddenly stood up and cupped their hands towards Lu Fan, "Greetings, Recruitment Envoy!"
"Seniors, what are you doing? I'm not a recruitment envoy. Sit down, sit down!" Lu Fan's heart stirred. These old fellows really knew about Huarong Prefecture. It seemed they were quite wary of it.
"If you're not a recruitment envoy, how can you move around freely outside?" Yang Xiu asked, stunned.
"Perhaps because I'm young, I'm given special consideration and don't have to abide by Huarong Prefecture's rules!" Lu Fan said lightly.
Hoo... The three old fellows gasped. Ever since they heard of Huarong Prefecture, they had never heard of such a rule.
After drinking tea and seeing the three elders off, Liu Ruyan suddenly looked at Lu Fan and asked, "Xiao Fan, what is Huarong Prefecture?"
"A mysterious place! It's full of people over a hundred years old, and their cultivation realms are very high. But none of that is important. What I want to know now is who let that young monk go," Lu Fan said.
"This is easy to investigate." Liu Ruyan immediately took out her phone and called her father.
Now, the people of the Liu family almost obeyed Liu Ruyan's every word. Even the old patriarch of the Liu family respected Liu Ruyan greatly. He truly believed that the Liu family had indeed survived the calamity thanks to Liu Ruyan!
As expected, not long after, Liu Chifeng sent a message.
"Xiao Fan! It was a police officer!" Liu Ruyan handed her phone to Lu Fan and said.
"They are indeed everywhere!" Lu Fan looked at the text message and was secretly alarmed. The Japanese "Yabune Project" was truly pervasive. They even had people in such important places.
Night fell again. In a small tavern by the side of a street, a man in his thirties, wearing casual clothes, stumbled out. He looked very happy, having drunk a lot, and hummed a little tune as he walked.
Crossing the street, the man entered a residential building and slowly went up to the second floor. With a rustle, he took a key from his pocket and opened the door.
Whoosh... Suddenly, he felt a force pull him into the room. Bang, the door closed.
"Huh? How did I get in?" The man was stunned. He hadn't even taken a step, and he was already inside!
"Stop looking and come sit!" A voice suddenly came from inside the room.
The man suddenly realized that someone was sitting on the sofa in the living room.
"Who are you? How did you get in?" The man was instantly drenched in cold sweat, and half his drunkenness vanished.
"No time for nonsense!" Lu Fan smiled coldly and suddenly reached out. The man was instantly pulled towards Lu Fan as if by something.
Bang... Lu Fan's hand landed on the man's forehead.
"You... you... what do you want to do?" Before the man could finish speaking, he fainted.
"Heh heh! He actually played me... So that's how it is!" After a search, Lu Fan's expression became solemn.
From the information in the man's mind, Lu Fan suddenly understood. This guy was indeed A'ping's contact.
This guy was originally supposed to have the Lei family fund the construction of a school, but the Lei family made very high demands. If they weren't met, they wouldn't fund it.
Seeing that the Lei family refused to pay, this guy used the young monk to set up this trap, using Lu Fan to eliminate the Lei family. A'ping, the young monk, Inoue Renzi, and the fake Lei Liming were all his subordinates. And using his identity, he could easily obtain a lot of information.
Most importantly, Lu Fan obtained a crucial piece of information: this guy's superior was in Japan. Someone there was directly controlling them through the internet. And that woman was named Tanaka Meizi.
Lu Fan found the bottle of memory-erasing medicine on the man's coffee table.
Returning to the teahouse, Lu Fan explained everything to Liu Ruyan. Then he suddenly said, "Ruyan, I want to go to Japan. Help me get a suitable identity."
"You really want to go? It will be very dangerous," Liu Ruyan said worriedly.
"Don't worry! Only by finding the real Yabune list can we find all the Yabune. But all we can find are four-character lists. I suspect this list must be in Japan," Lu Fan said.
Ring ring ring... As Lu Fan was discussing with Liu Ruyan, his phone suddenly rang. He took out his phone and saw that it was Hua Shiwu calling again.
"Hua Thirty-five, there's a mission. They want you to participate!" Hua Shiwu said immediately after answering the call.
"You go for me!" Lu Fan said directly.
"Brother, if I could go for you, I wouldn't be calling you! The higher-ups said this mission is very difficult. It requires going to Japan to protect a very important person. You must go," Hua Shiwu said with a bitter face. Being a recruitment envoy for this guy was truly a misfortune! It was really a sin!
"Go to Japan?" Lu Fan's eyes lit up. It seemed he didn't need to bother finding an identity.
"Alright! I'll go!" Lu Fan said immediately.
"Okay, okay! We depart in three days. You'll need to return to Huarong Prefecture to collect your identity passport," Hua Shiwu said immediately.
