Chapter 421 Clues to the Five Colored Stones
"Is it really that simple?" The two looked even more surprised.
"Indeed." Lin Fan nodded affirmatively.
"Plus, I'm pretty good-looking and a reliable person, so I'm easy to trust."
"Okay, you can omit the last sentence." Jiang Li's mouth twitched.
"What do you mean? Do you think I'm bragging?" Lin Fan raised his eyebrows.
"No, it's just something everyone knows, there's no need to say it out loud." Jiang Li answered seriously.
"That's about right." Lin Fan nodded with satisfaction.
"By the way, don't tell Mr. Zhao about Xu Jingjing and I going out to play."
"With so many videos uploaded and trending, how can we still keep it secret?"
“I’m not in the video.”
"The problem is, we don't dare lie in front of Mr. Zhao."
"She's not such a gossipy person. If she asks, we'll just tell the truth." Lin Fan said after thinking for a while.
"Okay." The two ladies breathed a sigh of relief.
"I brought her out to promote cooperation. I believe President Zhao will understand." Lin Fan added.
"Yes, tell her that."
After returning to the company, Lin Fan took Jiang Li and Cai Wen to report to Zhao Ziqing.
"I've seen the trending searches, and this collaboration is very effective." Zhao Ziqing nodded in approval.
"We need to keep up with Xu Jingjing's pace and launch more products that are popular with young people... Remember to send her the new products you've picked out."
Walking out of the president's office, Lin Fan took a deep breath.
Zhao Ziqing didn't ask about the video. It seemed that she was not interested in such gossip.
"Feels like you dodged a disaster?"
Jiang Li asked with a smile.
"Don't talk nonsense. This isn't a disaster at all. It's not even worth mentioning."
Lin Fan responded nonchalantly.
"Sister Li, act quickly to deal with Guirenfang. This is a golden opportunity... It seems Zhang Guilan still has time to come to the company to disrupt things, which means we haven't let her give up completely."
"Do not worry."
Jiang Li nodded in agreement.
“It was resolved in the last few days.”
"Okay, keep going, I'm going back to work."
After saying this, Lin Fan returned to his office.
"Brother Xiaofan, I am very happy today."
I received a message from Tong Xiao on my phone.
"Haha, are you happier than the last time you saw me?"
Lin Fan replied with a smile.
"Not really, but I was already mentally prepared when I saw you last time."
Tong Xiao replied quickly.
"I was completely unprepared when I met Sister Xu Jingjing... Her music gave me strength during the most difficult times."
"Next time there's a chance, I'll take you out to play with her."
Lin Fan chatted with Tong Xiao for a while and was about to start playing games when he suddenly remembered his date in the evening.
"I need to find a suitable excuse to turn it down... Well, let's just say that something's going on at the Source World Kingdom."
Lin Fan quickly came up with an excuse. After playing a few games, he called Zhao Ziqing and drove away.
Half an hour later, Lin Fan met Lu Guanglai.
"Brother Fan."
Liang Jiehua was also present.
"Have all the people who could be found been apprehended?"
Lin Fan took a cigarette and asked.
"Except for the person in charge, everyone else has been found. This person is quite mysterious."
Lu Guanglai answered.
“It is said that the general manager only communicated with them through a single channel.”
"Take your time, and you'll find clues."
Lin Fan was not in a hurry. He was the only one left and couldn't cause any trouble.
"Have you figured out the people behind the scenes of each major family?"
"They already have it. Most of them are marginal figures in the family or those with great ambitions."
Lu Guanglai said this and glanced at Lin Fan cautiously, unsure of how he would handle his father-in-law.
"Give me the list."
Lin Fan said while smoking.
"Take me to them."
"Here's the list, Brother Fan, please follow me."
Lu Guanglai handed him a folder and led the way forward.
Lin Fan flipped through the folders as he walked. "Oh, every one of the ten great families is included? It seems there are always ambitious people, they just lack the opportunity to show it."
"That's right, who doesn't want to be the best?"
Liang Jiehua interrupted.
"Have you seen this list too?"
Lin Fan looked at Liang Jiehua.
"No, Lao Lu told me it's confidential and I can't see it."
Liang Jiehua shook his head.
"You did very well."
Lin Fan smiled at Lu Guanglai to express his approval.
"Thank you, Brother Fan."
Lu Guanglai raised the corner of his mouth, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground.
The so-called secret is actually just something related to Lin Fan's father-in-law.
Judging from Lin Fan’s reaction, his decision was right.
"Is there really a secret?"
Liang Jiehua's heart tightened, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Soon, a group of captured people appeared in front of Lin Fan, all of them looking miserable.
It is obvious that Lu Guanglai used quite tough means to obtain intelligence.
"Doesn't anyone know who's in charge?"
"Yes."
"Will arresting them alert the forces behind them?"
"Brother Fan, even if they noticed, it wouldn't cause any big waves. Even if the monk escapes, the temple can't."
"makes sense."
"If these people are useless, should I just get rid of them? Keeping them locked up is a waste of manpower."
"Just wait and see."
"clear."
Lin Fan randomly asked two people, but neither of them could explain the whereabouts of the person in charge.
Lin Fan didn't waste any more time asking questions. He chatted with Lu Guanglai and Liang Jiehua for a few words and gave them two bottles of precious spiritual liquid as a reward.
"Thank you, Brother Fan."
Lu Guanglai and Liang Jiehua were grinning from ear to ear.
"To fight against the Origin World Kingdom, we need to unite as one. You must be more careful."
Lin Fan took a puff of his cigarette and said.
“Contact me if you encounter any difficulties.”
"Yes."
As evening approached, Lin Fan got up and left, heading for the place where he had agreed to meet Qin Ruxue.
On the way, his cell phone rang. It was Qin Ruxue calling.
"I'm almost there, you didn't forget our agreement again, did you?"
"Why, I've always remembered it."
"That's good. Did you bring the painting?"
"Are you treating me to a meal, or do you want to buy my paintings? If it's the latter, forget it."
"No, I want you to give me the painting. We can talk about it when we meet."
"Humph."
Lin Fan snorted lightly, with a hint of doubt between his brows. Why was she so confident?
"Could it be that she really found the clue to the Five-Colored Stone?"
The thought gave him a shock.
Originally he was skeptical about Qin Ruxue's words, but now her determination made him begin to waver.
"If she really has a clue, why not give her a painting?"
For Lin Fan, finding his parents is more important than any treasure, even ten famous paintings are worth it.
More than ten minutes later, Lin Fan drove to his destination.
This is an extremely luxurious Western restaurant, with priceless luxury cars parked at the door.
