Chapter 54: Chapter 54 How hard is it really?

On the deserted highway, the battle ended quickly.

Most people lay on the ground, motionless.

Looking at the bullet holes on each of their bodies.

Ning Mengyao covered her mouth in shock.

This was a scene she had never imagined.

"You didn’t kill anyone, did you?"

"I swear, I didn’t touch them. If anyone was killed, it must have been your high heels, nothing to do with me."

Lin Fan laughed as he set Ning Mengyao down on the ground.

You have to admit, women’s high heels are like walking weapons.

Once put to use, their power is greater than knives and guns.

"You’re annoying, at most I’m a lethal weapon!"

Seeing that those people were still breathing, Ning Mengyao’s heart finally settled.

"Who on earth are these people?"

"Don’t know, but they’re definitely here for revenge. They must have been able to follow us because someone installed a tracking device on your car. These guys sniffed it out and chased us down."

Lin Fan looked at the dozen or so people lying in pools of blood.

These guys clearly meant no good, and their moves were ruthless.

It was obvious they intended to finish both of us off.

"It can’t be... Uncle Chang Feng, can it?"

Ning Mengyao could hardly believe it, her hand covering her mouth excitedly.

The smell of blood mixed with the stench of urine was truly nauseating.

"It’s possible, let’s just ask them."

Lin Fan reached out and pulled up a man covered in blood.

The wretched fellow was already so scared he had lost control of his bowels.

"Hero... please spare me... I have elderly parents and young children at home!"

Having hit a snag, the guy immediately knelt and begged for mercy.

"You, what use are you? You wouldn’t take care of the elderly or teach the children properly. What good are you? Speak, who sent you? If you don’t talk, don’t blame me for being impolite!"

Lin Fan’s face was cold as he stared at the man who was all twisted up.

Lately, he had offended quite a few people.

He couldn’t even distinguish who had sent these guys.

"It was... it was Tian Laojiu who made us do this... I’m just a lackey, please have mercy, hero... we were forced."

To think someone would use a woman weighing over a hundred jin as a weapon, swinging her up and down like that.

His extraordinary arm strength made all of these guys tremble.

"Tian Laojiu, huh? Looks like he’s preparing revenge for his son," Lin Fan said, narrowing his eyes as he recalled the previous encounter with Tian Qi.

So, this old fool was trying to get revenge in secret.

"So... what do we do now?"

Ning Mengyao, anxious and worried, had not expected such an unwarranted disaster.

Once targeted by the underground forces, it could be quite a hassle.

"First, let’s go home, find the tracker on the car and then talk about it. But this time, I’ll drive."

Lin Fan pulled Ning Mengyao up and headed toward the car.

With a roar from the engine,

The car spun half a circle on the spot and broke free from the encirclement.

Following the road, it headed in the direction of the Ning Mansion.

"I owe you one today."

Looking at Lin Fan focusing on the steering wheel,

Ning Mengyao leaned weakly on the passenger seat.

She was nearly outmaneuvered by Uncle Chang Feng in the company.

Now she had been ambushed.

She felt her life was more thrilling than any movie.

"So I don’t have to sleep on the floor tonight, right?" Lin Fan said, a smile on his lips.

To him, this kind of life held neither surprises nor excitement.

After all, these guys were just not up to his level.

"Fine, fine, the bed is yours from now on."

Being protected made Ning Mengyao’s face flush red.

The recent fight had him touching everything that should—and should not—be touched.

The guy took advantage of the situation and still acted innocent.

"Fine, I’ll be generous too and give you half."

Amid the laughter, the car had already returned to the Ning Mansion.

After parking in the garage, Lin Fan immediately began searching.

Soon, he found three signal trackers inside the car.

"We must never let Grandpa find out about this."

Looking at the button-sized signal trackers in Lin Fan’s hand, Ning Mengyao sighed.

Ever since Ning Changfeng returned, the family had faced additional turmoil.

"Mmm, don’t worry, I won’t blab,"

Lin Fan said with a smile, tossing the trackers into a nearby bucket of water.

These devices were all electronic.

After being soaked in water, they would be rendered useless.

"Ah, people from the underworld stick to you like a plaster; once they latch on, they won’t let go. This is all Ning Changfeng’s fault,"

Ning Mengyao sighed deeply.

The house had never been peaceful since his return.

"Don’t worry, we’ll handle whatever comes our way. The little hoodlums won’t be an issue, but I won’t be able to have dinner at home tonight."

Lin Fan naturally couldn’t just let the situation continue.

Since Tian Laojiu wanted to declare war, he could only meet the challenge.

"Alright, then you drink less and come back early."

Without asking too much about Lin Fan’s destination,

Ning Mengyao walked towards the inner part of the mansion.

And just then, Lin Fan’s phone suddenly rang.

"My dearest little brother, what are you up to? Your sister here misses you so much."

Pressing the answer button, a languid voice came through the phone.

It was Phoenix, whom he had seen a few days ago.

"No wonder my eyelids have been twitching all day; someone must be thinking about me."

Phoenix calling at this time,

Lin Fan sensed a hint of conspiracy.

Although he had only met this mature woman once,

he knew that this beauty was no ordinary woman.

"Of course, ever since you left, I haven’t been able to eat or sleep; your image haunts my dreams, driving me to shower as soon as I wake up. How could you be so naughty in my dreams?"

Flirtatious words and a magnetic voice.

Just over the phone, Phoenix was enough to make a man insatiable.

"I don’t know about being naughty in dreams, but I do know that in person, I’ll be even naughtier. However, I have some business to take care of now, so I won’t be able to join you. Remember to dream of me tonight,"

Lin Fan said, playing coy even as he withdrew.

"You naughty boy, I knew those little ambushes couldn’t hurt you. You’re not going to go looking for Tian Laojiu, are you?"

As expected, Phoenix went straight to the point,

mentioning the incident that had just occurred.

"Indeed, you’re the queen of the Jiangning underworld; nothing escapes your ears. So, in light of my naughtiness in your dreams, are you going to tell me where Tian Laojiu is?"

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes and stepped out of the Ning Mansion,

looking at the setting sun’s fading glow.

The blood-red light reflected off the high-rise buildings.

The night belonging to the underworld was approaching.

"Queen or no queen, just call me Lu Feifei. I could tell you, but I’m afraid you might not dare to come. Tian Laojiu was quite a figure back in the day, with many ’uncle-level’ big shots as acquaintances, and the Three Elders Association backing him up. Even I have to act like a soft egg, or it’ll get very troublesome,"

Lu Feifei seemed to turn over, her breaths laced with murmurs.

"I was born stubborn and I don’t fear trouble. Whether they are uncle-level or even older, they’re all grandchildren in front of me. So, can you tell me the destination now?"

Lin Fan waved his hand,

and a taxi had already stopped in front of him.

"Jiantai Nightclub, Turquoise Pool VIP. I’ll be going there too in a while; let’s see just how tough you really are!"

Lu Feifei’s laughter was filled with soul-snatching temptation.

The night in Jiangning was probably not going to be peaceful.
