Chapter 614: Chapter 614

Yang Fan felt completely bewildered.

He did not even know this person called Lu Qiuyang, let alone owe him money, which was utterly groundless. Yet, this person called Hu Yu spoke as if he knew all the details.

Some doubts unavoidably rose in Yang Fan’s mind.

There must be some hidden aspects to this matter; it definitely wasn’t as simple as it appeared on the surface.

If Lu Qiuyang wanted to target him, even to the extent of killing him, there had to be a reason; it would make sense only if there were some previous disputes between them.

The notion that they would be discussing life and death without even knowing each other was absolutely impossible.

Yang Fan carefully thought about his enemies, and after ruminating, his suspicion ultimately fell on Bi Gang.

There were others who had grievances with him, but this guy was the most likely possibility.

"Is that exactly what Lu Qiuyang told you? Didn’t he reveal anything else to you?" Yang Fan asked.

Hu Yu thought seriously for a moment, then shook his head, "That’s all he said, nothing else."

"You just said there is someone above Lu Qiuyang. Do you know who it is?" Yang Fan asked again.

Hu Yu gave a bitter smile, "Big brother, you really think too highly of me. I’m just a lackey beside Lu Qiuyang, how would I have the authority to know such things? Maybe those who have been with him longer might know a bit more."

"But me... brother, to put it bluntly, I was forced into this by Lu Qiuyang. I had no choice but to honestly join his crooked crew, to be his dog, doing those utterly conscienceless deeds. Among Lu Qiuyang’s lackeys, I’m the least significant. Had I not borrowed money from that bastard, I’d never involve myself in such things."

Yang Fan sneered, "You think the petty thefts you commit are very honorable, do you?"

"Big brother, indeed, these actions are not honorable. We brothers don’t usually engage in them, just sometimes when we’re really out of money, we rely on this to get by a bit—I haven’t done it many times." Hu Yu defended.

"Although petty theft is not honorable, I think it’s better than the way Lu Qiuyang and his people use all sorts of disgusting methods to drive people to ruin. There are degrees of evil, and although we brothers aren’t good people, our crimes are minor. The things Lu Qiuyang does are truly great villainies and wickedness."

"You indeed have a way with words." Yang Fan fixed his gaze on the young man, asking, "Think carefully, is there anything else you want to say?"

Hu Yu thought deeply for a while, then shook his head and said, "Brother, that’s really it, those are all the things I know."

"How did you know we were here for dinner today?" Yang Fan asked.

"Someone from Lu Qiuyang’s side has been watching you; you just didn’t notice it..." Hu Yu said weakly.

"Big brother, the message that you are dining here was sent to me by someone with the surname Lu. The plan was all his; I was just figuring out what to do."

Yang Fan indeed hadn’t noticed this detail.

Yang Fan thought for a moment and then asked again, "When did you start?"

"Yesterday, no, the day before. In the afternoon the day before yesterday, Lu Qiuyang called me over and told me about this matter." Hu Yu’s eyes shifted upwards for a while before he firmly nodded.

However, the degree of his movement was too large and too forceful, pulling on the wound on his leg, causing him to inhale sharply because of the pain.

The day before yesterday...

Yang Fan carefully thought about what he was doing the day before yesterday, and suddenly a chill ran through him.

This meant that when he was in town, Lu Qiuyang had already had someone watching him.

In other words, his basic information, who was in his family, everything was now crystal clear to Lu Qiuyang’s side.

No matter how big the trouble was, if it only involved Yang Fan himself, he always remained calm.

After all, "repel soldiers with generals, stem water with earth," as long as he didn’t die, it wasn’t a big deal.

But if it involved his family, that truly hit his Achilles’ heel.

Even the possibility was unacceptable.

Originally, Yang Fan planned to hand over Hu Yu and the other two to Xiang Xue Ting, and then slowly investigate what exactly was going on with Lu Qiuyang. However, thinking about some not-so-good possibilities related to his family, Yang Fan immediately changed his mind.

He would meet that Lu Qiuyang today.

See if he was human or ghost, what kind of stuff he was made of.

"Old Wang, find something to tie these guys up," Yang Fan told Wang Daqiang. "Collect their weapons, and both of you be careful. I’m going out to make a call."

Wang Daqiang solemnly nodded.

Although Yang Fan had never mentioned their employment relationship and only talked about collaborating to make money,

Wang Daqiang seemed to have already considered Yang Fan as his boss. Usually, he was relatively casual, but when something happened, he was more serious than anyone, his face taut like a killer ready to draw his sword at any moment.

Huo Xiaorou glanced at Yang Fan, seeming about to say something, but seeing Yang Fan already taking out his phone to walk outside, she silently swallowed her words and didn’t say anything else.

Yang Fan left the private room and found a relatively quiet corner before dialing Xiang Xue Ting’s number.

"I hope you’re missing me or my body, and not assigning me another case!"

Soon, Xiang Xue Ting’s voice, carrying a bit of a soft tone, resonated on the phone.

"Of course I miss you and your body, but isn’t that one and the same thing? What are you busy with?" Yang Fan joked with a laugh.

"Just got off work, lying on the couch right now. My feet up against the wall, hanging upside down, wearing jeans today, really tight, every contour visible, the texture is extremely soft, come and try it!" Xiang Xue Ting said playfully.

Her detailed description instantly conjured up an image in Yang Fan’s mind.

Must admit, the scene was quite enticing, but he really didn’t have time today.

"No pic, no proof," Yang Fan said. "I rely on imagination, but I can’t imagine how your jeans could possibly contour your shape so clearly."

"Come over and see for yourself, not just through the jeans, but also without them," Xiang Xue Ting said, laughing enticingly.

The deliberately husky voice, mixed with a hint of moaning, instantly added countless flavors.

Yang Fan became serious and said, "Alright, let’s talk some proper business. I really can’t make it over today."

"I knew it!" Xiang Xue Ting shouted discontentedly, "What case has the big boss assigned to me now?"

Yang Fan chuckled, "I think I’ve helped you achieve quite a bit too, don’t act as if it’s such a burden."

"Yes, although that’s true, I’d prefer you come to me to discuss the mysteries of the body, the essence of life, to touch my thighs, or tickle me. Not to discuss cases or help me make achievements," Xiang Xue Ting complained dejectedly.

Yang Fan silently chuckled as he listened to Xiang Xue Ting’s rapid-fire complaints.

After she became more open, this addiction seemed to have grown a bit too much!

Now it’s almost always about these things.
