Chapter 629: Chapter 629

Yang Fan was somewhat surprised, "You knew about this so quickly?"

"You’re not unaware, Xiao Liu. Chen Zhong spoke to her yesterday and mentioned this incident unintentionally. Xiao Liu vaguely sensed that something was amiss and talked to me about it. I’ve thought it over thoroughly, and I suspect Chen Zhong is probably planning to make a move against you," said Zhang Yulan, her tone carrying a hint of severity, as she spoke to Yang Fan.

"So you’re saying he’s already made a move against you? Fanzi, are you hurt?"

"I’m fine, not a scratch on me," answered Yang Fan, "How’s the situation on your side?"

"That bastard can’t touch me; I have too much dirt on him, and the resources I control now aren’t necessarily worse than his. If he tries anything on me, he should think twice whether he can handle the consequences," Zhang Yulan spoke coldly.

"Fanzi, you should find a place to lie low for a while. You can’t get involved in this matter, I’ll handle Chen Zhong directly and see what he can do to me."

"You know, hiding isn’t my style," Yang Fan said with a light shake of his head and a chuckle, "No worries, my life isn’t that fragile. Chen Zhong has clearly conducted a very detailed investigation on me; it’s like the Monk can run but the temple can’t hide. Let’s face this together."

"Why shouldn’t you hide? Just take your family on a trip. Have a joyful time traveling around for a good half a month; by the time you come back, I should have nearly resolved the situation here," Zhang Yulan persuaded.

Yang Fan had never intended to hide, so naturally, he would not accept Zhang Yulan’s suggestion.

After a brief pause, he spoke seriously, "Yulan, if I had to hide, I certainly could, but I don’t want to. You manage the big picture; I can take care of some of the details. Also, the police already know about Chen Zhong’s actions. Include this in your plan."

"Was it you who took the initiative?" asked Zhang Yulan.

Yang Fan took a cigarette passed over by Wang Daqiang, lit it up, crossed his legs as he sat on the edge of the bed, and said, "I have an acquaintance at the police station. Lu Qiuyang, the person Chen Zhong hired to kill me, confessed voluntarily, admitting that he was acting under Chen Zhong’s orders. I thought it wouldn’t be wise to conceal this."

"That’s not a problem, but you need to warn your friend not to go after Chen Zhong directly. That bastard has a really long reach, and the first thing he will do now that things have erupted is certainly to suppress the emerged troubles," Zhang Yulan cautioned.

"This time, I must settle things with Chen Zhong once and for all, and I can indeed make my moves through this avenue. I want to completely expose Chen Zhong, and then deal with him," Yang Fan declared.

"I roughly have a plan in mind," said Yang Fan, "You handle your end, no need to worry about me. It’s not so easy for him to kill me; we’ll communicate if anything comes up."

Zhang Yulan spoke with some helplessness, "The thing with you is that everything’s fine, but you’re just too stubborn—like a mule. If you don’t want to hide, I’ll oblige you, but I have one condition: if you’re going to do anything, you must let me know in advance. Is that acceptable?"

Yang Fan agreed, "Okay."

"Really can’t do anything with you, just remember to be careful," Zhang Yulan advised once more.

Yang Fan cheerfully agreed, and only then did Zhang Yulan hang up the phone.

Flicking the ash into the ashtray and adjusting his emotions a bit, Yang Fan then returned calls to his sister-in-law and Little Mother. They, of course, were clueless about what had happened to Yang Fan last night.

It was merely that Yang Fan had not returned home last night and had not even placed a call, so they called out of concern to check on him.

Yang Fan certainly wouldn’t tell his sister-in-law and Little Mother about such troubles. He only talked about some matters involving Huo Xiaorou to gloss over the issue.

If sister-in-law and Little Mother knew that Chen Zhong was planning to have him killed, Yang Fan knew very well that they would definitely lose sleep. Given Little Mother’s personality, she would probably really start organizing a move, eager to get away from this place of trouble.

Shen Lin is only a minor official, and he nearly made their life restless.

Compared to Shen Lin, Chen Zhong is the difference between a massive mountain and a small grave mound.

After hanging up the phone with sister-in-law, Yang Fan made a call to Bai Mengzhu.

In a string of missed calls, this one was quite unexpected.

Only after asking did Yang Fan learn that the reason Bai Mengzhu called was because sister-in-law and Little Mother had been unable to reach him.

"Did you hook up with some beauty again?" Bai Mengzhu suddenly asked.

Yang Fan was stunned for a moment. Where did that come from?

"That’s not true at all, you’re jumping to conclusions too abruptly. I just didn’t go home for one night, why are you escalating it to this angle? Don’t interpret wildly," Yang Fan said.

Bai Mengzhu snorted, "You should always believe in a woman’s sixth sense."

"Besides, there’s another distinct characteristic. Do you want to guess what it is?"

Yang Fan chuckled, "Distinct? Stop kidding, I don’t see it!"

"Guess, if you guess right, I will forgive you. If you guess wrong, my body will be an existence that you can never obtain," Bai Mengzhu snorted again, her tone containing a bit of displeasure and a hint of playful arrogance.

That sounded a bit serious.

Yang Fan’s eyebrows involuntarily knitted together in the middle, "Isn’t that a bit exaggerated? I don’t want the outcome you’re talking about, but I really can’t remember any distinct characteristic in this matter!"

"Just take a serious guess, it seems like you really don’t have any interest in me," Bai Mengzhu’s tone suddenly carried a bit more anger as if she was about to slam the door and leave the next second.

Yang Fan suddenly became alert, it seemed that he had neglected Bai Mengzhu, making the lady feel uncomfortable.

No matter what the so-called distinct characteristic she spoke of was, Yang Fan directly explained: "Of course, I have a strong interest in you, how could it be otherwise? It’s just that, recently, I’ve been dealing with a lot of stuff, either bumping into ghosts or helping others take care of little ghosts on the road."

"Heh, you’ve got that ability now?" Bai Mengzhu said disdainfully.

She knew that Yang Fan had encountered such things, but was not aware that Yang Fan also knew some of these tricks.

"I’m a beginner, but I don’t know if there really is some Law of Attraction or something, anyway, I’ve encountered quite a few these past few days," Yang Fan said gloomily. "Just yesterday, all I did was go buy a car, but it turned out that the owner was troubled by these issues, so I just made a little extra on the side. It was just that the situation was quite troublesome, and it dragged on for quite a while."

"Basically, these days, if I’m not dealing with such issues, I’m encountering some bastards, to the point where I’ve started questioning life."
