Chapter 606: Chapter 606: Parting is Imminent

On a quiet mountainside clearing.

The several-ton RV was still swaying back and forth.

It wasn’t until midnight that it gradually came to a stop.

Lin Fan leaned back on the large bed, smiling at the already exhausted Lu Feifei.

"How about that, are you satisfied with my punishment?"

"Master... you’re trying to kill me, aren’t you..."

Lu Feifei’s face was flushed with a reddish tinge, her eyes filled with a sense of grieving as she looked at him.

Deep down, however, she had long since submitted.

"It’s because you refuse to reveal your secrets. It seems that Ning Mengyao’s orders to you are quite strict. So strict that even coercion won’t make you speak?"

Lin Fan continued to smile at Lu Feifei.

"Master, stop trying to get information from me. I know nothing. I only know to be forever loyal to my master. If I have displeased you, then please punish me as you see fit."

Lu Feifei, resting her head on Lin Fan’s shoulder, spoke softly and tenderly.

She was not Li Qiqi. Ordinary verbal tricks were useless against her.

"Don’t worry, I have nothing more to delve into. I already know what I need to know. It’s just the little matter between you and Ning Mengyao. I knew that such a secret wouldn’t stay hidden forever; it was bound to come out eventually. Seeing that you didn’t wail, make a fuss, or threaten to hang yourself once it was exposed is already very good. The occasional bit of petty revenge is nothing to worry about."

Lin Fan had already guessed the general outline of the situation.

With that being the case, he was no longer interested in probing further.

The only mystery that remained unsolved, now seemed unimportant.

"I knew my master is wise and wouldn’t concern himself with such trivial matters."

Lu Feifei lifted her head, gazing at Lin Fan with deep affection.

"That depends on whether this small matter will lead to any conflicts."

Lin Fan pinched her cheek indulgently, "This Wang Hu is really hard-headed, never learning his lesson. It looks like I’ll need to visit the provincial capital sometime soon. I really want to see what this so-called Seven Killings Alliance actually is, and why they won’t stop pursuing Ning Mengyao."

"I must report, I have something to discuss with you..."

Lu Feifei suddenly looked at Lin Fan with a touch of sadness.

"Originally, my godfather wanted Yuting to stay in Jiangning for a few more days, but there are complicated matters in Modu, and there are also several international projects that are about to start soon, so this afternoon, my godfather discussed with me whether I could accompany Yuting to Modu for a trip to handle these matters and then come back. The timeline is uncertain, it might be as quick as a month or two, or it may require half a year. But I haven’t agreed yet, after all, my master has not approved."

"If Mr. Jiang trusts you this much, you should go. But I want everything you do to come from your heart, not just because you’re doing it for me. Understand?"

Gently stroking Lu Feifei’s hair, Lin Fan said with a smile.

She had always been exceptionally compliant to his wishes.

Yet for some things, he still hoped she would make her own decisions.

"Of course, in my heart, I’m reluctant to leave master, but I also want to become stronger so that in the future I can truly be of help to master."

Lu Feifei bit her lip and mumbled softly.

"The top woman in Jiangning, and that’s not strong enough? You are Sister Phoenix, both the underworld and the lawful side respect you, don’t they?"

Lin Fan was genuinely surprised that Lu Feifei still felt insecure.

"But Jiangning is just a small place. Not to mention I’m a sister who operates in the shadows. Even if I were the City Lord, what would that mean? In a truly bustling place, I’d be nothing but a country bumpkin. Modu is a business hub, a window to the world. If I could carve out my own space there, I’m sure I’d achieve something. If you’re going to blame anyone, blame yourself for being too excellent, having people around you who are each more formidable than the last. I’m just afraid that one day, when the dragon reaches the sea, you’ll forget about this little fish."

Lu Feifei pouted.

Just as Ning Mengyao said, this guy’s excellence was beyond imagination.

"There’s nothing wrong with little fish, at least they don’t have teeth."

Lin Fan’s wicked smile immediately made Lu Feifei’s face blush.

Such intimate words only came to life at times like this.

"However, Master, through my interactions with the Jiang family over this period, I always feel like godfather is hiding some secret."

Lu Feifei pursed her lips.

Even though he was her godfather, he was certainly not as close as Lin Fan.

She would always stand on his side, no matter what.

"A secret? In what way?"

Lin Fan looked at Lu Feifei curiously.

"It just feels like he is afraid to return to Modu."

Lu Feifei tried hard to recall previous details.

"It took so much effort to bring Jiang Yuting to Jiangning, and according to the plan, she should stay at least three to five months to justify the loss of several billion. But now, there are issues with the business in Modu. Normally, anyone else would fly back to handle it themselves, especially since he is the head of the family, and coming forward during tumultuous times is the best move. Yet, he refused, using retirement as an excuse. It feels so odd, as if he’s afraid to go back."

"Everyone has their own secrets, even these business tycoons. I’ve collected some information about him before, but there hasn’t been much since he has been in seclusion for years. However, there is one thing that I find interesting."

How could Lin Fan possibly not investigate others?

It was at that moment that he noticed something.

"Just a few years ago, there were three financial magnates in Modu similar to the Jiang family, who took their lives by jumping off buildings. Their stature and power were comparable to his. It was then that Mr. Jiang suddenly moved to Jiangning to live in seclusion. So, I believe he must have been avoiding something. This trip of yours might reveal some inside information. If there’s any problem, call me at any time."

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes.

Modu was a first-tier city, where the scheming and deceit could be even more intense than in Jiangning.

"Master, I will be careful. After I leave, Phoenix Building will be managed by Mao Tu and Lu Feifei, while the other ten will take care of the night club and the bar. I’ve told them that while I’m away, they should report directly to you and consult you for their decisions, looking to your commands as their top priority."

"Aren’t you afraid, entrusting so many beauties to me? What if I can’t control myself?"

Lin Fan pinched Lu Feifei’s cheek.

He remembered that Li Yizhen had said that when Li Qiqi entered seclusion, their whole family would follow.

By then, he would have to manage Medicine King House and its 72 chain stores.

Why did he feel more and more like a housekeeper?

"With Mengyao as the empress of the harem, I’m not worried at all."

Lu Feifei had a mischievous smile on her face.

Now, one by one, the beautiful women around Lin Fan were about to leave.

Soon, only Ning Mengyao would be left with him, and it was uncertain what would happen then.

"By the way, have you noticed any movements from Xu Shiyong tonight, the one you’ve been tasked to monitor?"

After their playful banter, it was time to inquire about serious matters.

Lin Fan had Lu Feifei immediately contact her subordinates, and soon, the results came out.

As expected, he was up to no good tonight.
