Chapter 234 The Legendary Ghost King
They were so shocked by Lin Fan's aura before that they didn't know how to address him and could only greet him in such a polite way.
"Xiao Jing, Xiao Tong, Lin Fan is developing in Ancheng right now, on your territory... You two should visit more often in the future. It will only benefit you."
Old Gu spoke to them in the tone of an old friend. Upon hearing this, the leaders and commanders were shocked again. The person who could be valued so much by Old Gu must be extraordinary.
"Old Gu, you're being too polite. I'm just a vice president of Zhao Corporation right now." Lin Fan chuckled and responded, "I should be the one visiting you all." "Zhao Corporation..." The leaders and commanders were silently repeating the name in their hearts, and secretly resolved to learn more about it when they got back.
"Don't be so modest. That person specifically told me that he must have a video call with you after seeing you..." said Mr. Gu with a smile.
When these words were spoken, the leaders and commanders were shocked again. They knew very well who "that person" was referring to!
"Oh, what's there to see?" Lin Fan sighed helplessly, but he also knew that since that person said so, this meeting was definitely unavoidable.
The mayor and the general stared at Lin Fan, their hearts filled with shock, almost causing their "CPUs" to overload!
"Oh, we'll discuss this later." Elder Gu smiled, glancing at the mayor and the general before changing the subject. "I was just discussing the situation in Ancheng and the legend of the Ten Divine Artifacts... So, do you know why the Western forces evacuated overnight?"
"It seems to be related to a character called 'Ghost King'." The mayor answered tentatively, then turned his gaze to Lin Fan, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. Could he be the legendary Ghost King?
"Did you guess it? That's right, Lin Fan is the Ghost King." Elder Gu nodded affirmatively, "He is the greatest contributor to this incident."
The respect in the eyes of the mayor and the general when they looked at Lin Fan became increasingly profound.
Given their status, they naturally knew the ins and outs of the incident very well. The Ghost King alone made the Western forces flee, and his name was feared by all!
It was really hard for them to equate the gentle and refined Lin Fan in front of them with the dreaded Ghost King.
"A nobleman once praised him with four words: 'A peerless national talent.'" Elder Gu declared solemnly. As soon as these words came out, not only the mayor and the general, but even Secretary Li beside him was moved to tears. What a high praise! Especially coming from that person himself!
"Unparalleled in the nation..." Lin Fan's heart was stirred by these words, yet he pretended to be nonchalant. "You think you can bribe me with just these four words? You have to be more practical."
"Haha, that person has already anticipated your reaction." Gu Lao laughed, "If you want benefits, you can ask for them yourself during the video call later."
"Okay." Lin Fan nodded in agreement, thinking to himself that he would definitely gain some benefits this time.
"Xiao Jing, Xiao Tong, do you have any other matters?" Old Gu asked the mayor and the general.
"No more, no more. We'll take our leave first. Please call us again if you need us." The two of them understood and took their leave.
"Go ahead." Gu Lao waved goodbye, "Xiao Li, please see them off for me."
As soon as the mayor and the general walked out of the reception room, they were surrounded by a group of dignitaries who wanted to inquire about Lin Fan's identity.
"Who is he?" someone asked curiously.
The mayor gestured to silence them, "He is a figure above the clouds."
"It's an existence that you can't reach." The general added lightly, then strode away.
While everyone was astonished, the mayor smiled and said, "Mr. Gu invited all of us out to meet him... I won't say much else, you just wait here." After saying that, he turned and left.
In the reception room, Lin Fan sat across from Gu Lao and expressed his dissatisfaction: "How could you so easily reveal my identity?"
"You'll need their assistance sooner or later as you develop in Ancheng... Besides, they're all our people." Gu Lao explained with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll tell them."
After chatting, Mr. Gu mentioned the matter of Dongshan Island again, "Tell me in detail what happened there."
"Didn't Liang Jiehua and Lu Guanglai tell you?" Lin Fan handed a cigarette to Gu Lao. "There are no special cigarettes, so you'll have to make do with what you have."
"Haha, I brought you some special cigarettes. I'll let Xiao Li give them to you later." Gu Lao took the cigarette and said with a smile, "You kid, it wasn't in vain that you saved me!"
"They only reported part of the situation. There are some things they don't understand." Elder Gu looked at Lin Fan. "Pick out some things you can tell me so I can understand more about the situation."
"Actually, there's nothing much to say. I just dealt with some people and they behaved themselves." Lin Fan chuckled and took out the Fuxi Qin from his arms. "This is the Fuxi Qin, one of the ten divine artifacts."
Gu Lao's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had seen some rare treasure. The legendary mysterious object actually existed here!
He couldn't help but stretch out his hand, wanting to touch the exciting treasure, but Lin Fan swiftly blocked his action.
"Mr. Gu, for your safety, it's better not to touch it." Lin Fan's tone revealed some concern.
"I haven't completely subdued this Fuxi Qin yet. It contains the soul of the Qin and has its own consciousness. It is quite dangerous." After hearing this explanation, Old Gu quickly retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted, as if the Qin would really bite him suddenly.
"What's so magical about this Fuxi Qin?" asked Mr. Gu curiously.
"It has not been subdued yet, and its true strength is still unknown." Lin Fan admitted.
"So, are there any other special discoveries on Dongshan Island?" Mr. Gu continued to ask.
"There is also a mighty and extremely ferocious beast guarding it." Lin Fan replied.
"I heard that the ferocious beast has recognized you as its master?" There was a hint of surprise in Old Gu's tone.
"Alas, being too outstanding is also a kind of trouble. Even ferocious beasts worship me, and I can't do anything about it." Lin Fan teased with a smile.
“…” Mr. Gu was speechless for a moment, then he laughed.
"Mr. Gu, I have made great contributions this time. Shouldn't you give me some substantial rewards?" Lin Fan asked half-jokingly.
"what about this?"
When Lin Fan saw the name at the end of the signature, his eyes lit up. It was actually the handwritten inscription of that distinguished person!
These four words are not just simple praise, but also represent a supreme honor.
"How is it? Do you feel very honored?" Old Gu looked at Lin Fan with a smile and asked.
"Not bad." Lin Fan pretended to be calm as he rolled up the scroll, but his heart was already surging. Such a calligraphy work could definitely become a family heirloom, treasured for generations.
"As far as I know, that gentleman has never given such a high evaluation. His handwriting has always been priceless." Old Gu took a sip of tea and said slowly.
