Chapter 43: Chapter 43: The Beauty Trap, Turning the Tables

"I’m not leaving if you don’t!"

Wan had not expected the other party to let him go so easily.

However, Ning Mengyao was unwilling to leave Lin Fan alone.

After all, it was because of her that this whole affair had started.

And it was because of her that Lin Fan had followed all the way here.

"Don’t worry, I won’t be in any trouble. You go wait for me in the car."

Lin Fan said with a smile, patting her on the head.

He indeed had something to discuss alone with Phoenix.

"Miss Ning, don’t worry, I’m not going to eat him."

Phoenix said, looking at Ning Mengyao with a flirtatious smile.

She was now a bit more interested in Lin Fan.

"Then you must be careful, I’ll wait for you to come down."

Ning Mengyao finally nodded.

Because her grandfather had said that Lin Fan was indeed very capable of fighting.

"You guys leave too."

Watching Ning Mengyao leave, Phoenix also waved her hand.

"Sister Phoenix, is this okay?"

A few bodyguards vigilantly watched Lin Fan, who was leaning on the sofa.

This guy had struck particularly viciously a moment ago.

If only the two of them were left, it would be too dangerous.

"Do you think standing here is of any use?"

Lin Fan raised his hand.

The butterfly knife he had picked up earlier transformed into a streak of cold light that shot directly at them.

The speed was so fast that he had no chance to dodge.

He just felt a pain beside his ear.

Turning back, the butterfly knife had even embedded itself deep into the brick wall behind him, right up to the hilt.

"Aren’t you going out yet, or are you staying here to embarrass me?"

Phoenix said with a cold face, speaking sternly.

The subordinates didn’t dare to speak and all retreated out, closing the door behind them.

At this moment, only Lin Fan and Phoenix were left in the room.

"I didn’t expect such a tough character to emerge from this small place, Jiangning. No wonder the old man ended up being carried back in a coffin on what should have been a joyful day. But aren’t you afraid that I will seek revenge for the way you treated my godfather?"

Phoenix slowly put down her crossed legs, her gaze full of provocative intent.

Just now, that flicker of black definitely hadn’t escaped Lin Fan’s eyes.

"Of course I’m not afraid, and I can even tell you that it wasn’t the Blood Wolf who killed Sun Ba, it was me,"

Lin Fan stared fixedly at Phoenix without wavering.

This middle-aged woman was definitely a formidable character.

"It was you!"

This remark startled Phoenix.

Deep down, she had not believed that the Blood Wolf, always so loyal to Sun Ba, would do such a thing.

But now he had become completely foolish, and it was impossible to extract any clues from him.

"Don’t get so agitated. If Sun Ba hadn’t died, how could you legitimately become the head of the Green Dragon Alliance? So, you could say I’ve done you a favor. In fact, I am your benefactor,"

Lin Fan said in a relaxed tone.

"The old man hasn’t been involved in the alliance’s affairs for several years now. Moreover, as a woman, I don’t harbor such grandiose revenge plans. I was pushed into this position out of necessity,"

Phoenix said with an enchanting smile.

"Your eyes have already told me that you are an ambitious person, otherwise you wouldn’t have kept me here, trying to win me over,"

"Being too confident is being arrogant. How do you know that I didn’t keep you here to kill you?"

"Because you know you can’t kill me, and besides, my being alive might be more beneficial to you. Now it’s my turn to ask, why did you capture Ning Mengyao? Don’t say it was Ning Changfeng who instructed it, as he’s hardly qualified to deal with you."

Lin Fan lounged lazily on the sofa.

But his gaze never left Phoenix’s eyes.

"Indeed, I was also acting on someone’s behalf, but I won’t tell you who it was. I can only say that this young lady is now in danger. Even if the Green Dragon Alliance doesn’t act, someone else will take care of her."

Phoenix stood up and walked over to Lin Fan.

With the grace of a vase, she leaned close to him.

With a delightful smile, she radiated a charming allure.

"It’s my turn to ask questions now. Who exactly are you? Which power do you represent?"

"You don’t need to know that."

Lin Fan suddenly reached out, grabbed the phoenix’s waist with one hand, and pulled her into his embrace.

At the same time, his other hand grasped her wrist that was holding the fan.

The distance between their faces was only an inch.

"I don’t care who is backing Ning Changfeng. Ning Mengyao is my woman, so I advise you to stay away from her."

Feeling the phoenix’s breath as fragrant as orchids, Lin Fan spoke softly.

At that moment, her delicate body was completely under his control.

"Are you threatening me?"

The phoenix, unable to move due to being restrained.

Could only look at Lin Fan with a plaintive gaze.

The spike hidden in the handle of her fan had become completely useless.

"You can take it as a threat, or you can consider it a kind reminder. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee that I won’t personally destroy this handsome face. This is my final warning!"

Lin Fan snatched the folding fan from her hand.

Pressing a mechanism on the handle, a spike more than ten centimeters long sprang out.

Coated with black poison, stabbing was her most skilled assassination method.

But for Lin Fan, who was not blinded by beauty,

It was meaningless.

"I understand, I promise that the Green Dragon Alliance will no longer interfere with this matter!"

All tactics were under Lin Fan’s control.

The phoenix could only collapse weakly into his sturdy embrace.

"That’s why reasonable people are easier to deal with."

Lin Fan lifted his hand and threw the phoenix out.

Casually, he returned her assassin’s fan to her.

"Sister, I really like your feisty spirit. Would you like to associate with me more intimately, in a relationship that doesn’t distinguish day from night?"

The phoenix flirtatiously blinked her eyes.

A look that no man could resist.

"I wouldn’t want to be stabbed into a hornet’s nest one day."

Lin Fan said, smiling as he stood up.

Since the question had been answered, it was time for him to leave.

"Sister, I wouldn’t dream of hurting you, much less killing you. If anything, it would be me getting stabbed."

The phoenix watched Lin Fan’s retreating figure.

This man’s strength and capabilities far exceeded the ordinary.

If she could pull him to her side, her power would surely increase significantly.

"Forget it. I’m not like Sun Ba, who would romantically die beneath peony flowers; though I might change my mind in the future."

Lin Fan said, smiling as he opened the private room door.

The phoenix was still hiding secrets, so they would likely meet again in the future.

Especially since he was determined to understand the other forces the phoenix spoke of.

Exactly who they were.

"Sister Phoenix, are you alright?"

Watching Lin Fan’s departing figure, the bodyguards immediately rushed in.

Once they confirmed Phoenix was unharmed, they finally relaxed.

"What could possibly be wrong with me?"

Relighting a cigarette, the phoenix leaned back in her chair.

It was only during their close encounter that she realized Lin Fan had extremely strong self-control.

Even her seductions were met with his indifference.

This kind of man really intrigued her.

"Get me all the information on this guy!"

"Yes!"

The subordinate responded and hurried out.

In the private room, phoenix was left alone.

Looking at the busy street, she pulled out her phone.

"The operation to capture Ning Mengyao has failed, and I’m not planning to continue this business. You’ll have to send someone else to handle it."
