Happy Little Farmer
Chapter 615

Chapter 615: Chapter 615

What do you do with a little kitty that seems like it can never get enough to eat?

Of course, you try to satisfy her as much as possible.

Yang Fan said seriously, "I’ll come over when I’m free, and I won’t leave until I’ve fed you until you’re full, but I really can’t today. I inexplicably ran into an assassination attempt, and things are a bit of a mess."

"Okay... wait a minute, what did you just say? Assassination?!" Xiang Xue Ting’s voice suddenly sharpened.

Yang Fan nodded and gave a rough account of what had just happened before saying, "I don’t even know that Lu Qiuyang, there’s no way I could have any grudges with him, and owing him money or anything like that is completely untrue, it’s non-existent."

"I do know about Lu Qiuyang," Xiang Xue Ting said in a grave voice, "That guy is involved in some shady business. We’ve investigated him twice before but didn’t find any evidence."

"Sss, that’s not right," Yang Fan frowned and asked, "Were the cases reported by those who borrowed high-interest loans from him?"

"Yes," Xiang Xue Ting gave a firm answer, "Both times it was after the debtor had committed suicide, and their families reported it. But the cunning part about this guy is that he uses Yin Yang contracts. Moreover, when we arrived, the families who reported would suddenly change their stories. We’ve talked to those two families several times before, but we don’t know what Lu Qiuyang has done behind the scenes, the families just wouldn’t speak."

"What else could it be, they must have been threatened," Yang Fan said coldly.

"We suspected that too and even kept watch for a while, but we didn’t find anything," said Xiang Xue Ting somewhat disheartened.

Yang Fan thought it over seriously, "This sounds so familiar to me, isn’t this how Bi Gang operates, so cautiously?"

"Actually, you’re mistaken, it’s not just the two of them. Anyone slightly connected behind the scenes has their own way of dealing with us, one story in public and another in private," Xiang Xue Ting explained.

"Without a concrete case, we can’t just keep clinging to them; that way, we can’t get anything substantial. Let’s not talk about that now, are you okay?"

"If I can still think about playing games with you, my body must be fine," Yang Fan laughed, "The guys Lu Qiuyang sent weren’t much good, they didn’t have any talent for fighting, and I knocked them down in just a few moves."

"Don’t get cocky, it’s better to be careful with these things. Even a little kid with a small knife could stab you half to death in a sneak attack, and it could even be fatal," Xiang Xue Ting chided, "Please be really careful, I want to be with you for a long, long time, discussing love in bed. What would I do if you were incapacitated?"

"Think carefully, have you offended anyone recently? There seems to be someone backing Lu Qiuyang, but we haven’t identified who it is yet, and at the moment we don’t have any useful leads for you."

"Could it be Bi Gang?" Yang Fan asked.

"It shouldn’t be him; we’ve pretty much stripped Bi Gang’s background clean and haven’t found any connection between him and Lu Qiuyang," Xiang Xue Ting responded, "Have you upset anyone else?"

"This is insane," Yang Fan muttered, "I racked my brain and could only think of Bi Gang, and it turns out it’s not even him. Apart from him, I haven’t made any enemies recently. Are you sure these two have absolutely no connection?"

"From the information we currently have, there really isn’t any," Xiang Xue Ting said.

Yang Fan let out a bitter laugh, "Damn, this is so frustrating that I don’t even know where to start thinking."

"Forget it, I’ll go ask him myself later. The main reason I’m calling you is to make sure that if I go looking for Lu Qiuyang now, it shouldn’t be too dangerous, right?"

"You definitely have something going on, I’m telling you not to act impulsively!" Xiang Xue Ting hastily shouted, "Lu Qiuyang is one of the oldest thugs in our Xin’an territory. That guy has been in more fights than you’ve had salt. Don’t be rash."

"I’m not being impulsive, I still know what I’m doing," Yang Fan said, "What I mean is, if I go find him now, will I be taking on some sort of lawsuit or something?"

"Of course, you will," Xiang Xue Ting said, "And it could easily be a whole slew of charges, but sometimes it also depends on the situation. A very useful condition is, if those kids who were planning to kill you have clear testimony pointing to Lu Qiuyang, then if you act like this, it will be much easier to deal with."

"What if I record a video myself?" Yang Fan asked.

Although he was very angry at the moment and had a strong urge to chop someone, he still forced himself to be cautious.

If he failed to subdue Lu Qiuyang and ended up getting bit back, sending himself to jail, it would be a tremendous loss. You can’t do something that hurts the enemy a hundred but harms yourself a thousand.

"That’s also an option, but my advice is that you wait for me a bit," Xiang Xue Ting said.

"You’re not here to stop me, are you? I must get to the bottom of this," Yang Fan said, "That guy had people watch me for three days before deciding to make a move today. He’s never been one to follow the rules, and his methods are dirty. I don’t want this to affect other people."

"I understand your thoughts and intentions, but actually, with your testimony on our side, we already have enough to arrest Lu Qiuyang. Inciting others to commit murder, that charge alone is at least fifteen years and up," Xiang Xue Ting persuaded.

"By the time he’s in our hands, you can find out what you want to know, and we can pry it out of him. You don’t need to take the risk yourself. A wise man does not stand under a wall that is in danger, Yang Fan, stay calm."

"I understand all that you’re saying, but what I want to understand now is who made Lu Qiuyang do this. I have no dealings with Lu Qiuyang; he has no reason to do this," Yang Fan said, "If Lu Qiuyang adamantly takes all the blame onto himself, you guys probably won’t be able to do much, right?"

"Don’t worry, if it’s not feasible, I won’t be foolishly charging in," he said.

"Why won’t you listen to reason? We’ll find a way, rest assured," Xiang Xue Ting shouted in exasperation.

"In some matters, I trust myself more, like with Bi Gang," Yang Fan gave a somber example.

Xiang Xue Ting went silent all of a sudden.

That example was quite insulting.

After a while, she finally said, "Alright, I won’t persuade you anymore. Don’t make too much of a scene, please be very, very careful about your own safety. As for the rest, leave it to me. I’ll take care of the aftermath for you."

"Okay, then I’ll hang up now," Yang Fan said.

"Hang up then, and be careful. If something happens to you, I won’t shed a single tear. I’ll bring a random guy to mess around on your grave and infuriate you to death, you bastard," Xiang Xue Ting yelled.

Yang Fan: ...

He smiled, "You won’t get a chance like that, because your right to use will only be mine from now on!"

"Even if I agreed, with the way you are, I’m not sure it’s guaranteed," Xiang Xue Ting huffed.
