Chapter 104 Coveting the Artifact
About half an hour later, Wang Chudong also returned home.
Lin Fan looked upstairs and gestured to Wang Chudong.
He muttered to himself: "This feels a bit like an affair, and it's quite exciting..."
He led Wang Chudong into the kitchen and opened his phone to show a video. "I've already cleaned up the hotel's surveillance footage. This is the bar footage. You can only see my blurry back. Don't worry."
Wang Chudong looked at the video on his phone in surprise: "How did you do that? Did you really go to the bar?"
Lin Fan smiled and shook his head: "No, I found a hacker expert and hacked into their system." He explained lightly.
"I didn't go to the hotel either. Xu Yuan definitely won't be able to find any clues about us booking a room." Hearing the word "book a room," Wang Chudong felt a little flustered. She looked around and whispered, "Don't mention what happened that night anymore. We all need to forget it."
Lin Fan pointed at his phone and said with a half-smile, "How could I forget this? Look how close we were back then!"
Wang Chudong glared at him, quickly deleted the video, and turned to leave the kitchen. "Wait, you really don't need my help dealing with Xu Yuan?" Lin Fan stopped her and asked tentatively.
Wang Chudong frowned: "How do you know his name is Xu Yuan?" Lin Fan explained that Zhao Ziqing told him.
Wang Chudong waved her hand and said, "Don't worry about this matter. As long as Zhao Ziqing doesn't know, I'm not afraid of him." After that, she hurriedly left the kitchen, fearing that she would be caught by Zhao Ziqing.
After dinner, Zhao Ziqing and Wang Chudong went upstairs. Lin Fan stood downstairs, secretly dreaming of being invited upstairs one day.
"One day, you will have to invite me upstairs to sit for a while." He thought happily, went back to the room and called Siyan.
He briefly recounted the incident to Siyan and asked for help in finding the missing person notice and information about the colorful jade. Although Siyan felt a little embarrassed, he agreed to do his best to help.
After hanging up, Lin Fan checked the time and sent a text message to Tong Xiao. Since he knew she was in Ancheng, he had to meet her. After all, they were childhood sweethearts.
Late at night, the ringing of a cell phone pierced the silence. Tong Xiao's voice, trembling with disbelief, came from the receiver: "Xiao...Brother Xiaofan, is that you?"
Lin Fan's lips curled up into a warm smile, "Xiaoxiao, it's me, I'm back."
On the other end of the phone, Tong Xiao sobbed intermittently, "Brother Xiaofan, where have you been all these years? I...I thought I would never see you again."
"I've been wandering for a while and haven't been able to return to Ancheng." Lin Fan took a deep breath of cigarette, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.
"Xiaoxiao, are you free this weekend? Let's meet up."
"I want to see you now!" Tong Xiao said eagerly.
"Are you still in school?" Lin Fan asked.
"I can take a leave and not go back to the dormitory tonight." Tong Xiao's tone was full of anticipation.
Lin Fan was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, the weekend will be here soon. I'll pick you up then and we can have some fun."
After an hour of talking, Tong Xiao reluctantly hung up the phone. Lin Fan muttered softly, "This girl is still so clingy."
He walked into the living room and after making sure that everyone upstairs was asleep, he jumped out of the window, stepped on his flying sword, and soared into the sky.
Soon after, he hovered above Qianlong Mountain. Under the night sky, the mountain range resembled a sleeping black dragon. Lin Fan frowned as he circled the mountain, but found nothing unusual. "Could the Donghuang Bell be hidden in such an ordinary place?"
Just as he was about to land, car lights appeared on the winding mountain road below. Several cars stopped and a group of foreigners got out.
Lin Fan hid in the darkness, observing quietly. They arrived at a valley and began busily arranging something.
"Move quickly before anyone finds you."
"As long as there's a strange phenomenon, those people from China's special department will definitely come. When the time comes, let them see blood!"
Lin Fan's face gradually became gloomy. They actually wanted to use explosives to create the illusion of the birth of a divine weapon, to attract and kill China's special department personnel.
He landed behind them silently and said coldly, "What brings you all here from so far away?"
The men turned around in horror and saw a figure standing there quietly.
"Who are you?" a white man raised his gun and asked nervously.
Lin Fan smiled slightly, revealing his white teeth. "I'm Lin Fan, and some people also call me the Ghost King."
"Ghost King?"
When the foreigners heard the name, they frowned slightly, as it seemed familiar.
"I don't like having a gun pointed at me."
Lin Fan glanced coldly at the white man holding the gun and waved his hand lightly.
In an instant, a sword light pierced the night sky like the fury of thunder, not only cutting off the white man's gunman, but also slitting his throat in an instant.
The white man fell in a pool of blood without even having time to scream.
The other foreigners' faces suddenly changed when they saw this. They didn't even see how Lin Fan made his move!
"Run!"
A black man shouted and turned to escape.
However, the Dragon Abyss Sword flew out like a hunting hawk. The black man ran only a few steps before he fell headfirst, blood gushing out like a bursting dam.
The scene suddenly fell into dead silence, and the foreigners were frightened into silence.
"Stand still, don't move, or you'll die."
Lin Fan retracted the Longyuan Sword and spoke indifferently.
"You...what on earth do you want to do!?"
A bearded foreigner asked in a trembling voice, his body shaking uncontrollably.
"Tell me your origins, otherwise, I will start killing people."
Lin Fan lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and his eyes revealed dissatisfaction. He hadn't been seen in three years. Did that mean the Eastern Forbidden Zone had become a target of ridicule?
As long as he's there, no one dares to invade China's territory! Whether it's assassins, mercenaries, or powerful people from the Western cultivation world, they must bow down to him!
"We are members of the Blood Prison."
The bearded foreigner didn't dare to hide anything.
"Blood Prison? A second-rate, lowly organization dares to run rampant in China?"
Lin Fan's eyes suddenly turned cold and murderous.
The foreigners were silent, and although they were dissatisfied, they did not dare to speak out.
After all, even a second-rate organization is a feared presence in the Western world. And there are only five organizations in the entire West that can be called first-rate!
"You came to China to compete for the so-called Ten Divine Artifacts?"
Lin Fan continued to ask.
"Yes, we just wanted to try our luck."
The bearded foreigner nodded in agreement helplessly.
"Not only us, but many other forces have also quietly infiltrated China."
"With your meager strength, you dare to covet divine weapons?"
Lin Fan sneered, his face full of disdain.
