Chapter 18 Leave no one behind
“Okay… woo woo, okay…”
As soon as the Ghost King opened his mouth, the pain made him cry again.
"Just do what he says. I swear, it won't be long before I make him kneel down and beg for mercy!"
Xu Gaoyuan said viciously.
"Soon, my senior brother will arrive in Anning City. By then... humph, I will repay you tenfold for the humiliation you suffered today!"
"I... want to... pull out his teeth too..."
The Ghost King's speech was unclear due to his injury.
"Not a single one left!"
"clear."
Xu Gaoyuan nodded in agreement.
"Go to the hospital first. I promise to let you avenge yourself then."
"Woooo..."
The security personnel helped the Ghost King leave, while Xu Gaoyuan led the others back to the security room.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Lin Fan sitting leisurely in his office chair. Xu Gaoyuan gritted his teeth and walked into the room.
"I'll give you ten minutes, be quick."
Lin Fan put his feet on the desk and smoked leisurely.
"it is good."
Xu Gaoyuan responded and immediately directed everyone to move the items away quickly, fearing that they would suffer another misfortune if they were slow to act.
In less than ten minutes, all of Xu Gaoyuan's belongings were cleared out, and this office... was officially owned by Lin Fan.
"I'm such a genius! I got an office right away."
Lin Fan proudly turned on the computer and found a game to play.
The game hadn't even finished yet when Lin Shan pushed the door open and walked in.
"Brother Fan, why...why are you in Manager Xu's office?"
Lin Shan asked in surprise.
"Oh, Manager Xu was too enthusiastic and insisted on giving me the office."
Lin Fan replied with a smile.
"I wanted to refuse, but he insisted... I couldn't refuse his kindness, so I accepted."
"what?"
Lin Shan was stunned. Was this true or false? How could Xu Gaoyuan be so generous?
"Xiao Lin, why are you here?"
Lin Fan closed the game and asked.
"Oh, Mr. Zhao wants to see you."
Lin Shan remembered the important matter and spoke quickly.
"You are asked to go to her office immediately."
"Looking for me? Okay."
Lin Fan nodded and left the security room with Lin Shan.
Soon, they arrived at the president's office and met Zhao Ziqing.
"Grandpa called and said he wanted to video chat with you."
Before Lin Fan could speak, Zhao Ziqing spoke first.
"Oh? Haha, is Mr. Zhao worried that we're deceiving him?"
Lin Fan smiled.
"Luckily I'm here, otherwise what would you do?"
"Stop talking nonsense, I'll call him right now."
Zhao Ziqing said as she made a video call to Zhao Anmin.
The video connection was successful, and Zhao Anmin smiled when he saw Lin Fan.
After a brief greeting, Zhao Anmin mentioned the two people who were arrested.
"Xiao Fan, you captured those people, so I have to tell you... they're gone."
"Gone?"
Lin Fan was shocked.
"Grandpa, why did they disappear? Have you found the mastermind behind this?"
Zhao Ziqing's face darkened and he asked anxiously.
"No, after you left this morning, I went to see them and found that they were gone."
Zhao Anmin sighed.
"Forget it, let's leave it like this for now."
"grandfather……"
Zhao Ziqing wanted to say something, but Lin Fan touched her arm lightly and shook his head to stop her.
"Xiao Fan, Xiao Qing is in your care. You must protect her well."
Zhao Anmin reminded him again, and after getting Lin Fan's promise, he ended the video call.
"Why don't you allow further questioning?"
Zhao Ziqing looked at Lin Fan and asked with a frown.
"They're dead, and the person behind it hasn't been identified yet. My grandfather might still be in danger!"
"I didn't ask you to ask because...those two people were most likely dealt with by your grandfather."
Lin Fan's words were shocking.
"What? My grandfather handled it?"
Lin Fan’s words shocked Zhao Ziqing so much that she almost jumped up.
"Impossible! Why would my grandfather kill them? Lin Fan, stop talking nonsense!"
"Remember what I said before? The mastermind behind this is most likely from within the Zhao family."
Lin Fan stared at Zhao Ziqing and spoke slowly.
"If it had been Zhao Tong and the others, how would Grandpa have responded? I imagine your grandfather couldn't find the answer either, so he chose to end the investigation and eliminate those two, putting a temporary end to the matter... This was also the glimmer of hope your grandfather gave them, hoping they would repent."
Speaking of this, a sense of emotion welled up in Lin Fan's heart.
Zhao Anmin is like a tiger that won't bite its own cubs. He may be cruel and ruthless to his enemies, but when facing his own son, he finds it difficult to show that ruthlessness!
"..."
Zhao Ziqing was in a state of confusion. Was it really as Lin Fan had described? She had heard of the weak affection between large families, but she couldn't believe the patricide, an act so contrary to the laws of nature and human ethics.
“What a pity.”
Lin Fan thought for a moment and shook his head. He had been trying to understand why those two had chosen Zhao Ziqing to inflict a love poison on her, specifically. Was there some hidden reason behind this? It couldn't be that Zhao Ziqing's beauty alone had engendered a desire for possession, right? Now that she was gone, the mystery lay buried.
"Even if it's true, that man is definitely not my father!"
Zhao Ziqing suddenly spoke out.
"Hmm? Your father? Indeed, I also think he is the least suspicious."
Lin Fan nodded in agreement.
"Rumor has it that he's idle and unemployed... but if you ask him to kill his father, I'm afraid he doesn't have the guts to do it."
"shut up!"
Zhao Ziqing shouted angrily. Although she had many complaints about her father, she would not tolerate such derogatory remarks from others.
"Besides, that's just your speculation. The truth may not be so."
"Maybe."
Lin Fan smiled, he knew that some facts were difficult for Zhao Ziqing to face.
"You go back, I have to work!"
Zhao Ziqing looked at Lin Fan's smile, feeling annoyed.
"OK."
Lin Fan readily agreed. After all, returning to the game world and enjoying the kindness of the young brothers was much better than suffering bullying here.
The sweet-voiced characters in the game, calling him "brother" with every word, almost melted his heart, even though he hadn't heard a man's voice in three years.
"Wait, what's your cell phone number? You can't always ask Lin Shan to go to the security department to find you, right?"
Zhao Ziqing said coldly.
After Lin Fan gave the number, he smiled and said, "How about I just stay in your office? That way, when you miss me, you can just look up and see me."
“Get out!”
Zhao Ziqing slammed the table and stood up.
"As commanded."
Lin Fan waved his hand and left the room.
"Asshole!"
Zhao Ziqing gritted her teeth and took a long time to calm down.
"Mr. Zhao, here is a document that needs your signature..."
Lin Shan knocked on the door.
"Come in!"
Zhao Ziqing sat back at the table and picked up the pen to sign.
Lin Shan carefully observed Zhao Ziqing's expression, as if she had just heard President Zhao lose his temper?
Lin Fan is really amazing. He can still stay in the company even after offending President Zhao. It is unprecedented!
"What was Lin Fan doing when you went to the security department?"
Zhao Ziqing put down his pen and asked casually.
"Ah, he's playing games... Oh, no, he's in Xu Gaoyuan's office."
Lin Shan did not dare to lie and reported truthfully.
"He said Manager Xu was very enthusiastic and offered to lend him his office, and he couldn't refuse..."
"What?"
