Chapter 589: Chapter 589: The Good Person in a Heap of Bad People

In the bustling shopping mall.

Because of the incident here, everyone’s attention was drawn to this area.

Several security guards received the message and arrived at the scene immediately.

Seeing this, the men following Xu Shiyong hurriedly took out their credentials.

And flashed them at the security guards.

"We’re conducting official business, apprehending a fugitive. Disperse the crowd at once!"

"Handling a case?"

The security guards looked at the gleaming credentials.

And dared not make any further moves.

They glanced at Xu Shiyong, who was lying on the ground, and at Lin Fan and Zhao Jiaqi, who were standing there.

Quickly, they dispersed the crowd that was surging toward the area.

Now, only a few of them remained at the scene.

"Oh, ’apprehending a fugitive’, is it? Then I really must see—just because you have a fancy badge, do you think you can bite?"

Lin Fan, with arms crossed, watched the others with amusement.

These guys had the audacity to call him a criminal.

Well, he truly should give them a show of his ferocity.

"Brothers, help me take him down. I’ll bear the consequences. Anyone who’s with me today is my brother in life and death. I, Xu Shiyong, will never forget him in this lifetime."

Xu Shiyong, struggling to his feet, glared at Lin Fan with hatred.

His own fighting skills were no match for his opponent.

He had no choice but to rely on others.

"Mr. Xu, your business is my business!"

"If anyone dares to mess with Mr. Xu, they’re messing with my face. I’ll handle this!"

Several men put away their credentials and immediately rolled up their sleeves.

They were well aware of Xu Shiyong’s impressive family background and his parents’ high-ranking positions.

Mixing with such a second-generation elite was also about seizing an opportunity to be lifted up.

If he so much as crooked his finger, they wouldn’t have to spend a lifetime at the bottom.

Moreover, Xu Shiyong’s trip to Jiangning was precisely because he knew something was going to happen here.

In their eyes, it was an opportunity to polish their credentials.

So, clutching onto this giant tree was more important than anything else.

"This is interesting. Then come and try," Lin Fan said with a smile as he watched the group.

In any case, among these people, there must be a rat.

And his own mission was unrelated to Dragon Teeth.

It was just the right opportunity to make some enemies and see how things went.

"Wait a minute!"

Just as both sides were about to clash,

Someone ran out from behind.

He stretched out his hand to stop those who were about to start the fight.

The man wearing glasses, who looked to be in his late twenties,

Stood there politely but managed to infuriate Xu Shiyong.

After wiping the blood from his nose, he pointed angrily at the man.

"Su Delong, what the hell do you think you’re doing? Can’t you see that Laozi has been beaten up? Are you turning your elbow outwards now?"

"This isn’t about whether the elbow turns in or out; don’t forget why we came to Jiangning," the genteel Su Delong retorted, staring straight at Xu Shiyong, "According to regulations, we must not disclose our identities and should avoid causing trouble. Getting into a fight now, if the team finds out, you know what the consequences will be. I order you to stop, as your captain!"

"You really think you’re an official, you damn captain!"

But contrary to expectations, the willful Xu Shiyong didn’t regard his teammate at all.

He waved at the men beside him.

"Listen up, start the fight. If anything goes wrong, it’s on me!"

"I’d like to see who dares!"

Su Delong immediately pointed angrily at those who were preparing to charge, "Don’t think that he can back you up and you can act recklessly. When trouble arises, he may escape unscathed, but what about you? I guarantee you would become the scapegoats. Do you really think the Xu Family will lift a finger for you?"

Indeed, by directly challenging their interests, he made the men pause in their tracks.

Su Delong was right.

If things really went south, Xu Shiyong would just brush off his hands and walk away.

Then, the hot mess left behind would definitely be their burden to bear.

By then, the stable job they had finally obtained through genuine skills would go down the drain too.

Moreover, this wasn’t the first time something like this had happened.

So, after exchanging glances with one another, they instinctively shrank back.

"Su Delong, don’t talk nonsense. In all my life, I, Xu Shiyong, have always been about loyalty. Whoever is my brother, charges forward with me!"

As Xu Shiyong spoke, he actually took the lead and charged forward.

He wanted to lead by example and galvanize the others.

But unexpectedly, Su Delong suddenly grabbed his wrist.

Then came an overhead throw, laying him flat on the ground.

This scene not only stunned those behind him.

Even Lin Fan and Ni Chang didn’t react in time.

"Su Delong... what the fuck... you’re actually helping outsiders attack me... I won’t let you off..."

Xu Shiyong, lying on the ground, glared at Su Delong furiously.

But his arm was twisted, rendering him utterly immobile.

"I order you as the team leader to stop immediately. If you leave now, I won’t report this matter. Otherwise, once it blows up, none of us will have it easy. I can give up being the team leader, but you’d better scram back to Beijing and do the math!"

Su Delong’s words stopped those who were preparing to step in from acting.

They could only look at Xu Shiyong lying on the ground.

"Fine... I’m leaving!"

As soon as he heard he might be sent back to Beijing, Xu Shiyong became unwilling.

After all, if he went back, wouldn’t he lose the chance to stop Zhao Jiaqi and Lin Fan?

So he had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill in silence.

"Alright, you said it yourself. I’ve made the consequences very clear to you. You’d better figure it out."

Only then did Su Delong release Xu Shiyong’s hand.

He took two steps back, warily watching the other party.

"Su Delong, we are now at odds, you just wait!"

Shaking off those attempting to help him up.

Xu Shiyong, with a face full of unwillingness, got up and pointed his finger at Su Donglong, cursing.

"I’ll be waiting."

Yet, Su Delong still stood there with a refined posture.

He was unfazed by the threat.

Looking askance at Lin Fan, Xu Shiyong said,

"And you, remember this, I am Xu Shiyong. I’ll make sure you repay today’s debt twofold. The only man for Zhao Jiaqi could be me, no one else stands a chance."

"Whether I stand a chance or not, you’re welcome to try."

Lin Fan looked at Xu Shiyong with disdain.

This guy’s character was truly foul.

"You just wait!"

Xu Shiyong, not one to suffer immediate losses, turned and walked away.

The rest followed him out one after another.

For the moment, the farce was over.

Su Delong didn’t leave right away.

Instead, he walked over to Lin Fan and Ni Chang.

"Sir, I apologize on his behalf for what just happened. Please don’t take it to heart. If there’s any compensation needed, I’m willing to provide it."

"No need, the only loss I suffered was getting bedbug blood on me,"

Lin Fan said with a smile looking at Su Delong, "But because of me, you’ve made an enemy of that guy. I’m afraid you’re going to have a tough time from here on."

"I have done nothing wrong and have nothing to hide; there is no fear in others walking crooked paths. I will take my leave now,"

After Su Delong bowed with folded hands, he turned and walked away.

Watching his retreating figure, Lin Fan nodded with satisfaction.

It seems that not everyone is rotten to the core.
