Chapter 602: Chapter 602 Qi Qi, You’re Not Telling the Truth

"Lin Xuan!"

At the entrance of Medicine King House.

Li Qiqi had already rushed into Lin Fan’s arms like a gust of wind.

This had become a habit of hers over time.

Every time she knew Lin Fan was coming, she would wait here to see him at the first opportunity.

"What delicious food have you prepared for me this time?"

Lin Fan held the little girl and sniffed her.

She obviously carried a scent of cooked rice.

"I prepared your favorite braised pork and drunken crab, and a few other secret dishes. I guarantee you’ll enjoy a feast."

Li Qiqi wrapped her arms around Lin Fan’s neck.

Her smile bloomed like a flower.

"You’re so sweet. I’ll also give you a reward."

Lin Fan set Li Qiqi down before handing her the plastic bag he was holding.

"What is this? I’ve never seen it before, I might not be able to cook it well."

Li Qiqi looked doubtfully at the contents of the sealed bag, which looked like some kind of frog.

It was so ugly it was almost alarming.

"Have you got muddled up staying in the kitchen? This is a tiger-frog I got for you, but I advise you not to open the sealed bag, or you’ll end up crying from the smell. I just caught it and had to wash my hands for half an hour to get rid of the smell."

Lin Fan affectionately pinched Li Qiqi’s nose.

"Tiger-frog... Lin Fan, thank you."

When she heard it was the last of the five venoms she desperately needed, Li Qiqi excitedly jumped up.

She planted a firm kiss on Lin Fan’s face.

Now, she had four of the five venoms.

If she could get a "Lumpy Tiger" next, she’d be almost stepping into the rank of the Goddess of Five Venoms.

"I have something to ask the Heavenly Master about, so I’ll go to the restaurant to find you later, and one more thing..."

Lin Fan was now going to discuss matters with the Heavenly Master about the giant rat.

But just before he left, he stopped in his tracks.

"During the week I was away, you were often at Phoenix Building. Did something happen with Lu Feifei?"

"What could happen with Sister Phoenix?"

Li Qiqi was taken aback, instinctively asking back.

"Haven’t you heard any whispers at all?"

Lin Fan eyed Li Qiqi skeptically.

Being young, she had the lowest psychological resistance.

That slight expression just now seemed like she was hiding something.

"I... I just go there to cook... and then I leave. I don’t mingle much, and I really don’t know what’s happened."

Li Qiqi shook her head resolutely.

However, her faltering tone was enough to prove that she indeed knew something.

And possibly, she was involved in it.

"Fine, I’ll come find you later."

Without pressing further, Lin Fan walked towards the back courtyard.

Left alone and anxious, Li Qiqi quickly took out her phone and dialed Ning Mengyao’s number.

"Sister Ning, we have a problem, it might come out. He just asked if anything happened at Sister Phoenix’s after he left."

"What did you say then?"

Ning Mengyao, sitting in the office, squinted her eyes.

Indeed, this guy had already noticed something.

"I definitely didn’t say anything, but the look in his eyes clearly showed he didn’t believe me. I was afraid of giving ourselves away."

Li Qiqi felt uneasy.

Asking her to lie to Lin Fan was simply an impossible task.

"Qi Qi, now the organization is testing you. Just remember one thing, even if it kills you, never say anything. Just act as if you know nothing, got it? He can’t do anything to you anyway."

Ning Mengyao understood Lin Fan naturally.

He was capable of strategizing and scheming.

But he had a flaw, he would not dare to break the veil of their relationship without absolute certainty.

After all, the risk was too great for him, as it posed a fatal threat.

Even if he was full of doubts, even if he had guessed everything.

But as long as he had no concrete evidence, Ning Mengyao would never admit to anything.

"Okay, I got it, Meng Yao."

Li Qiqi anxiously hung up the phone.

She hadn’t even started lying yet, but her face was already flushed red.

For now, all she could do was hang up the phone.

She never expected the Husband Control Alliance to be exposed to Lin Fan so soon.

...

"Uncle Master, this matter has become very interesting. The adversary is surely a cunning big rat, pushing Xu Shiyong into the limelight..."

In the backyard, Lin Fan sat cross-legged on a cushion.

He recounted the events of the past few days.

After listening to his narration, the old Heavenly Master slowly opened his eyes.

"Indeed, the big rat has begun to make its move. You must be extremely vigilant in your response. If someone could hide within the ranks for so long, they were certainly no ordinary character."

"I will never underestimate any of my enemies, but I will not spare any traitors either. However, I feel there is something you haven’t told me yet, Uncle Master. The target of the big rat is definitely to sabotage the Dragon Tooth counterattack plan, but what is the critical point? If I don’t know which grain the rat wants to steal, how can I set a trap for it?"

This trip Lin Fan made was to find the critical point from the chaotic clues.

Since the adversary had a target, all he had to do was wait patiently.

"This grain is not just a little, and I cannot guarantee that the big rat’s target is a specific object. After all, our response to the Jiazi Plan’s counterattack is not just a flicker of light. It’s a result of decades of planning by the Xuan Department, daring to confront them head-on. There must be no mistakes at any crucial point. Hence, these finer details are beyond human control now."

The Heavenly Master shook his head.

Even though he knew a rat had infiltrated the ranks, he still didn’t know what the adversary was planning exactly.

Hearing this, Lin Fan frowned deeply.

However, the next words from the Heavenly Master brightened his eyes.

"Breaking the formation this time indeed has a crux, which is the Wind Stabilizing Pearl currently stored at Dragon Tooth. This object is a precious relic left from ancient times, containing magnificent righteous energy from heaven and earth. It was specially brought to Jiangning to break the Formation. Once the Wind Stabilizing Pearl is used, no formation can control its immense righteous energy. So, if I were them, I would definitely try to sabotage the Wind Stabilizing Pearl, causing a fatal blow to the counterattack plan."

"Thus, the target of the big rat is likely the Wind Stabilizing Pearl. If we protect this treasure well and wait for the adversary to strike, we can capture them easily. I need to check the location of the Wind Stabilizing Pearl."

Lin Fan slapped his thigh, knowing that finding the focal point would help in managing the situation.

"The Wind Stabilizing Pearl is currently under strict secrecy and heavily guarded. I personally inspected the protection environment and there will absolutely be no mistakes. Moreover, the basement door is sealed by three powerful beings. You can rest easy. Only on the day of breaking the formation, when the ritual starts, will the basement door be opened. That is the real critical point. So, not just you, even I can hardly see the Wind Stabilizing Pearl now."

The Heavenly Master shook his head again, because of its importance, the security was no ordinary measure.

And entering was particularly difficult, so Lin Fan might not have a chance to see it beforehand.

Hearing this, Lin Fan rubbed his chin, his eyes gleaming.

"Now, I am really looking forward to seeing how this big rat plans to make its move!"
