Chapter 377: Chapter 401: First, tell me your secret

In fact, the situation of the Luo Family wasn’t complicated. Shen Binnan’s maternal grandmother had three sons in addition to Luo Sumei. Luo Sumei was the third, and Luo Mingyuan was the fourth, followed by the eldest and the second eldest.

The Luo Lin just mentioned was the daughter of the eldest, and as for Luo Gao, he was presumably the son of the second eldest of the Luo Family.

In Southern Domain City, the Luo Family could also be considered influential, but compared to their past glory, they had clearly declined. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have brazenly asked Shen Hongyang for fifty percent of Longtu Group’s shares. It was evident that the Luo Family had declined to the brink of collapse.

As for the Luo Family wanting an arranged marriage with the Shen family, that was Shen Binnan’s cousin, the son of the eldest of the Luo Family—Luo Lin’s brother.

...

As Shen Binnan told her story, Fang Yi drove to a hotel. Before coming, Shen Binnan had already reserved two rooms in a hotel at Southern Domain City, one for her and the other for Fang Yi.

After checking into the hotel, the two settled down. It was almost noon by then, so they decided to have a meal in the hotel lobby.

In the hotel lobby, liquid crystal televisions were mounted on the walls around them, displaying music videos.

Shen Binnan casually ordered some dishes and then dined with Fang Yi.

While eating, Shen Binnan suddenly stopped using her chopsticks, looked up at Fang Yi who was dining, and said, "By the way, how do you plan to deal with the Luo Family?"

Fang Yi patted his chest.

Shen Binnan asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Fang Yi smiled slightly and replied, "I have a plan up my sleeve."

Shen Binnan said, "You’ve got a plan? Let me hear it. It better not involve using force again."

Fang Yi said, "What’s wrong with using force? In this civilized society, although gentlemen are encouraged to use their words and not their fists, in this world, no matter the era, force is always the best solution. I’ll ask you one question, do you want the Luo Family to fall?"

Shen Binnan was stunned, having never considered the downfall of the Luo Family.

What Shen Binnan had thought was to make the Luo Family back off, which would be enough. She didn’t want to go too far after all; the Luo Family was her mother’s maiden home, and if she were to really ruin them, she wouldn’t feel right with her parents.

Seeing Shen Binnan furrow her brows in concern, Fang Yi smiled. He obviously understood what Shen Binnan was thinking and said, "Actually, this matter is quite simple to solve. Your cousin wants to marry you, right? We could just have him do this..."

As he spoke, Fang Yi made a throat-slitting gesture.

Shen Binnan looked at him in a somewhat desperate manner and said, "Can we use another method? I’m afraid you’ll end up in jail."

Fang Yi said, "I’m just kidding. But the idea is the same: make your cousin disappear for a while."

Shen Binnan soon grasped Fang Yi’s meaning. Looking at the man in front of her, smiling gently, she had thought herself to be quite clever. However, she had not realized that Fang Yi had a wealth of cunning and malevolent tricks up his sleeve.

...

Roger, the son of the eldest of the Luo Family, and also Luo Lin’s brother.

Recently, Roger had been behaving properly, not indulging in romantic escapades, and the thought of marrying the cousin he had long coveted, that she was soon to become his woman, excited him beyond measure. Therefore, in order to make a good impression on Shen Binnan, Roger had been a good boy these past few days.

He became the best interpretation of a man who went from seeking pleasures to being a naive and honest person.

But today was unbearable. Roger decided to go to a bar for a drink, not to get involved with women, but perhaps to enjoy the sight of them.

A man of his word, Roger then drove to a bar he frequented.

Once Roger reached the bar, he took a deep breath. He’d been holding it in for so long, it felt unbearably uncomfortable. Finally, he had arrived at a familiar place.

Roger approached the bar and asked the waiter for a drink, then he began to leisurely roam amidst the chaotic crowd of the bar. As he weaved through the throng, Roger occasionally took advantage of some of the beauties and exchanged flirtatious glances with several women, which excited him immensely.

However, at that moment, Roger’s cell phone suddenly rang.

Roger picked it up to find it was an unknown number, but he answered it anyway. He figured if it was just a scam or telemarketing call, he’d simply hang up.

As soon as Roger answered, a woman’s voice came through: "Hello, this is Shen Binnan."

Roger was instantly jolted, as if struck by lightning. He hurried through the crowd to a quiet spot, all smiles: "Binnan, hello, hello, this is Roger."

Inside, Roger was extraordinarily excited. He couldn’t imagine why Shen Binnan would call him. Could it be that Binnan had changed her mind and taken an interest in him?

"Where are you right now?" Binnan cut straight to the point.

"Oh, I’m at home. And you?" Roger replied hastily, naturally not disclosing that he was at the bar.

"I’m at XXX. I want to see you, can you come over?"

"Yes! Right away! I’ll be right there!!!"

After hanging up, Roger was ablaze with eagerness. Without another word, he left the bar, jumped in his car, and headed to the location Binnan had mentioned. True to her word, Binnan was there when he arrived.

The location was a rather secluded one, specifically a dark alley, but Roger, thrilled as he was, paid no attention to the suspicious nature of the place.

As soon as he saw Binnan, Roger quickly walked towards her. But just then, two figures suddenly leaped out from behind him in the alley. One held an electric baton, and the other a hessian bag.

Overcome with excitement, Roger failed to notice them. The one with the electric baton touched it to the back of Roger’s neck, causing him to convulse and collapse. The other quickly covered him with the hessian bag.

The two acted swiftly, securing the bag before lifting the unconscious Roger and darting into the depths of the alley, disappearing entirely.

At the other end of the alley, Binnan turned around as Fang Yi also stepped out, with another man following him.

"Liu Lang, after those two are done, send them out of town for a while," Fang Yi said coolly.

"Yes," the man replied, and he was indeed Liu Lang.

Since the time Fang Yi had helped Bai Jingjing take down the Black Water Alliance, the Black Water Alliance had formally become a subsection of the White Tiger Alliance. With Liu Lang’s brother, Liu Da, dead, and Liu Lang himself having helped, Bai Jingjing had positioned him here as the Squad Leader of the White Tiger Alliance’s Southern Domain City subsection.

Now that Fang Yi had come to Southern Domain City, he naturally made use of this power. Since Fang Yi and Bai Jingjing were now essentially husband and wife, the White Tiger Alliance was more or less under Fang Yi’s ownership. Therefore, Fang Yi’s utilization of the White Tiger Alliance’s power was simply to be expected.

Not only that, but since Fang Yi had avenged Liu Lang, even if Fang Yi and Bai Jingjing weren’t close, Liu Lang would still follow Fang Yi loyally and obey his every command.

Liu Lang quietly stepped aside, and Binnan, with a complex look in her eyes, glanced at him, saying, "I never expected you to have such influence in Southern Domain City. This is quite an eye-opener for me. Now tell me, what else are you hiding from me?"

Binnan felt that she was less and less able to see through this man; she had no idea how many secrets he was keeping from her.

Fang Yi responded with a slight smile, "Do you want me to lay it all out for you?"

Binnan replied, "Why not?"

Fang Yi laughed and said, "Sure, I agree. But first, you have to tell me your secrets."
