Chapter 594 Cat and Mouse
Chapter 594 Cat and Mouse
Xu Kai was completely confused and looked at Lin Fan speechlessly. After all this twists and turns, was he just trying to show off himself in the end?
"In that case, I might as well envy myself." Xu Kai responded.
"Haha, just concentrate on driving." Lin Fan laughed, and the car was filled with relaxed laughter.
Lin Fan was in a good mood and was walking towards the company when the phone suddenly rang.
"Boss, someone has reported you." Lu Yuhao's voice came from the other end of the phone with a hint of strange tone.
"Report? What's that?"
Lin Fan frowned, his mood instantly darkening. Why was this day so unlucky? First, he'd called the police due to a misunderstanding, and now he'd been reported.
"You are a ancient warrior and shouldn't attack ordinary people."
Lu Yuhaolai suppressed his laughter and added: “The old man of the Lu family, Lu Bazhong came to me personally.”
"The Lu family again?"
Lin Fan sneered, "They always like to use some despicable tactics."
"He wants law enforcement to deal with you."
Lu Yuhaolai continued, “He said you hurt his son.”
"Oh, you're really good at acting."
Lin Fan smiled contemptuously: "How did you respond to him?"
"I told him that he needed to investigate thoroughly before making a decision." Lu Yuhao replied.
"Very well, I'll do as you say."
Lin Fan thought for a moment: "Let him feel that he has hope against me. That would be more interesting."
"I see, Boss, you are really smart."
Lu Yuhao suddenly realized and exclaimed in admiration. Lin Fan's tactics allowed his opponent to first taste a sweet advantage, then slowly dragged him into a desperate situation.
"Try to keep him fighting and don't give up after two hits."
Lin Fan instructed, "Give him some confidence, but in the end he will find that everything is in vain."
"Don't worry, I will do it." Lu Yuhao agreed and hung up the phone.
Lin Fan put his phone away, a mocking smile playing on his face. "If I didn't have a good relationship with the law enforcers, I might have fallen for this trick."
Xu Kai watched Lin Fan from the side and jokingly said, "It feels like you're playing a game of cat and mouse, and the Lu family is the little mouse."
"more or less."
Lin Fan smiled faintly: "I will let them know that times have changed and their old ways will not work anymore."
"In front of you, they have to be obedient." Xu Kai complimented.
Arriving at the company, Lin Fan went straight to the CEO's office. Zhao Ziqing came over and mentioned that her grandfather had just called her.
"Did the old man mention this to you?" Lin Fan asked from the opposite side.
"I originally planned to let you take over, but considering that you are busy with your work and may not be very interested in this matter, I recommended your father." Lin Fan explained to Zhao Ziqing.
"Do you think he's up to the task?"
"Why not? Didn't he handle the chess piece incident properly last time?"
"How can it be the same? This matter is of great importance."
"Haha, things haven't even started yet, don't underestimate your father."
Lin Fan smiled and said, "You are so outstanding, you must have inherited his excellent genes. As long as you give him a chance, I believe he can do well."
Zhao Ziqing rolled her eyes. She knew her father's character too well.
"I know you are disappointed in him, but why not give him a chance to prove himself this time? If he does well, your opinion might change." Lin Fan persuaded.
"I believe he will do his best for you."
Zhao Ziqing thought about it and reluctantly nodded in agreement: "Okay."
"If he really does it well, try to change your opinion of him." Lin Fan continued to encourage.
"I think this father-in-law is pretty good." Lin Fan added, trying to lighten the mood.
"Let's talk about it later." Zhao Ziqing responded vaguely, knowing that it was not easy to change the long-standing impression.
"Has the matter at the police station been resolved?" Lin Fan changed the subject.
"Yes, the guy who hurt people has been taken back by Officer Xu. The case can be closed."
"Oh...you have a good relationship with Officer Xu?" Zhao Ziqing looked at Lin Fan curiously.
"I wouldn't say we're familiar with each other, we just know each other." Lin Fan didn't want to reveal more to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings.
"There were some misunderstandings between us before, but they are resolved now."
After he gave a brief explanation, he breathed a sigh of relief when Zhao Ziqing stopped asking questions.
Back in the office, Lin Fan lit a cigarette and pondered the issue of the nine marriage certificates. As the day of his trip to the capital drew near, he realized that he would have to confront Zhao Ziqing about this issue sooner or later.
Thinking that his future fiancées were all very beautiful, he gave up the idea of breaking off the engagement.
"Alas, it seems that I am also a vulgar person who judges people by their appearance." He sighed and said self-deprecatingly.
Just as he was thinking about it, Zhao Xingmin called.
"Father-in-law, you have to thank me this time!" Lin Fan took credit before Zhao Xingmin could speak.
"How do you want to thank me?"
"How about taking me to Ancheng to experience the nightlife?"
"Okay, as long as Xiaoqing agrees, I can take you to see it." Zhao Xingmin agreed.
Zhao Xingmin smiled slightly, with a hint of amusement in his smile.
"Go ask her," he said softly.
Lin Fan, however, put on a helpless look: "It's pointless to be so direct. Can I ask?"
Lin Fan rolled his eyes, looking somewhat dissatisfied: "Instead of thanking me, you're actually bullying me?"
"Thank you? Who told you to be so talkative?"
Zhao Xingmin said with a hint of anger, "Does it really require me to personally take part in such a trivial matter?"
Lin Fan was speechless for a moment. In his opinion, destroying the Lu family was no small matter. But Zhao Xingmin's attitude was even tougher than his!
"If I take action to destroy the Lu family, I will be laughed at." Zhao Xingmin still maintained that arrogant attitude.
"Wait, father-in-law, who are you? I'm getting more and more curious." Lin Fan asked with raised eyebrows.
"What big thing are you talking about? Like destroying a big country? Can you do it? Why don't you give it a try?" Lin Fan teased.
"Let's not get off topic. What does Xiaoqing mean? If we can handle this, will it improve our father-daughter relationship?" Zhao Xingmin got straight to the point.
"Of course, so you have to handle this 'little thing' well and don't mess it up." Lin Fan lit a cigarette.
"If you can't do it well, don't blame Xiaoqing for looking down on you."
"Hmph, this is just a small matter that I can handle with my eyes closed." Zhao Xingmin responded with a sneer.
"Since Xiaoqing has expressed her stance, I will take action... But how can I destroy the Lu family and still keep a low profile? It's worth thinking about."
"Why do you always like to keep a low profile?" Lin Fan was puzzled.
"You've been pretending for so long that you really think you're a pig?"
"Kid, be careful with your words. I'm your father-in-law."
"I didn't scold you, I was just describing it."
"Okay, I'll think about what to do and do something to make Old Man and Xiaoqing happy."
"Well, I believe you can do it!"
The sound of hanging up came from the other end of the phone, before Lin Fan could finish speaking.
This made Lin Fan a little annoyed. Now he understood where Zhao Ziqing's habit of hanging up the phone came from - it turned out to be hereditary!
