Chapter 69

"Lin... Big Brother Lin... Master Lin... Grandpa Lin! Spare... spare my life! I know I was wrong, I shouldn't have offended you. Please give me a chance, just let me off with a warning, okay? I beg you, spare my life!"

Seeing Lin Fan walk up to him, and the dead Yin Jiuyou behind him, Wang Chao was terrified, his heart and soul shattered. He lifted his head, trembling, and stammered, "Hehe, now you know to beg for mercy, why didn't you do that earlier? It's one thing for you to attack me, but the worst thing you could have done was to have designs on Qiqi." Lin Fan stood beside Wang Chao, looking down at him from a height, and said coolly.

"I know I was wrong... Master Lin... I really know I was wrong! Spare me this once, and I'll leave the country, never set foot in Xia again, and never appear before you again..."

Wang Chao's limbs were numb, and he moved on the ground, tears and snot streaming down his face as he continued to beg for mercy, "I have money... I have a lot of money... There's ten million in cash on the boat by the river! If you spare my life, the money... I... I'll give you half!"

Seeing Yin Jiuyou die right before his eyes, Wang Chao was utterly terrified. Lin Fan had only crushed his two arms earlier, but now he had killed someone with a decisive strike. How could the feeling be the same?

Lin Fan adjusted his pants, squatted down, and looked at Wang Chao with cold eyes, softly uttering two words: "Too late."

"No!" Wang Chao's heart was suddenly enveloped by the fear of death, his body shaking violently. He felt a warmth in his lower body, and the smell of urine wafted up, as he had been scared to death.

Lin Fan looked at Wang Chao with disdain, then no longer wasted time with him. He placed his right palm in front of Wang Chao's neck, and Wang Chao immediately felt as if someone was choking him. His face turned bright red, his eyes bulged, his tongue stuck out, and he made a series of choking sounds.

"Please... please..."

Wang Chao managed to utter two words with great difficulty. Lin Fan increased the force of his right hand, and Wang Chao made two "uh... uh..." sounds. Lin Fan's grip crushed Wang Chao's Adam's apple, and his head tilted to the side, and he died.

Lin Fan, as if he had done a trivial thing, clapped his hands and stood up, looking at the corpse at his feet with a calm gaze.

Modern society is a rule-of-law society, where the law is supreme, and murder is a serious crime. However, Lin Fan, in his previous life, was a generation of Immortal Venerable, not a benevolent person. He had killed countless people, and it could be said that he had spilled blood over the fields. Now, although he had been reborn on Earth and would not go on a killing spree like before, if someone touched his sore spot, he would definitely show his might and eliminate them.

After killing Yin Jiuyou and Wang Chao, Lin Fan did not just leave. A murder case in the secular world is a major case, and he liked his current peaceful life and did not want to get into trouble because of this. So he had to dispose of the bodies.

Lin Fan dragged the bodies of Yin Jiuyou and Wang Chao to the riverbank, like dragging two dead dogs.

There was a speedboat parked by the river, which Wang Chao had prepared to escape after the deed. Now it would be the final resting place for him and Yin Jiuyou.

Lin Fan put the two bodies on the speedboat, threw the two briefcases with combination locks on the riverbank, then started the speedboat, aimed it at a nearby embankment that extended into the river, and revved the engine to full power. The speedboat roared as it shot forward, and Lin Fan, at the moment the speedboat took off, leaped into the air, lightly touching the tail of the speedboat with his toes, and gracefully landed on the shore.

A few seconds later.

"Boom!"

The speedboat crashed into the embankment and exploded, burning in the river.

After seeing the speedboat explode, Lin Fan retracted his gaze, picked up the two briefcases, and walked to his car.

This money was cash that Wang Chao had stored in a relatively secret place. When Li Ming fell, all the things they had done over the years were exposed, and he would be implicated. His bank cards had already been frozen by the police. If he hadn't received the message and fled in advance, he would have been arrested by the police and sent to prison.

However, if Wang Chao had been caught by the police, he would have spent a few years in prison at most, at least he would have kept his life. Now, by offending Lin Fan, he met a tragic end, with no body left.

Wang Chao's fate could only be described as self-inflicted, and he also dragged Yin Jiuyou into it.

Lin Fan felt no guilt about taking Wang Chao's money. The cultivation world is a world where the strong are respected, with no rules, only strength. If you are strong, you can possess all kinds of treasures; if you are weak, possessing treasures will bring you disaster. The principle that a man without virtue who possesses a treasure is guilty should not be hard to understand.

"Buzz!"

Lin Fan threw the money into the trunk and drove away in his Haval H6.

...

Longcheng City Public Security Bureau.

After such a heinous case, Zhou Jianlin returned to the bureau and immediately reported to the bureau chief.

"What!?"

Upon hearing Zhou Jianlin's report, Gu Chengyuan was shocked and stood up from his chair with a start.

Damn, Wang Chao was really stupid to dare to offend a Qi Master. Even if he had a hundred lives, they wouldn't be enough to withstand Lin Fan's wrath. Fortunately, Qiqi was not harmed, otherwise, Wang Chao's life would not have been enough to quell the anger of a Qi Master, and even the entire Longcheng might have been thrown into turmoil.

"Chief, what's wrong?" Zhou Jianlin looked at Gu Chengyuan with confusion. This iron-blooded chief, who had been in office for over ten years, had never been so flustered.

Gu Chengyuan didn't have time to answer Zhou Jianlin's question. He walked out from behind his desk, put on his coat, and asked, "Where's the child?"

Although puzzled, Zhou Jianlin didn't ask more and quickly replied, "In our team, Yingzi is watching over her."

"Okay."

Gu Chengyuan nodded, opened the office door, and walked out. Zhou Jianlin's eyes twitched, realizing that the case was not simple and might involve some key points he hadn't yet grasped, so he hurriedly followed.

Gu Chengyuan walked briskly to the Second Criminal Investigation Team. The police officers he met along the way all saluted and greeted him. Normally, Gu Chengyuan would smile and nod, but today, he seemed not to see or hear them, walking hurriedly.

Soon, Gu Chengyuan arrived at the Second Criminal Investigation Team. As soon as he entered, he asked impatiently, "Where's the child?"

"Whoosh!"

The police officers, who were busy handling various cases, all turned their heads toward the door. Seeing the bureau chief in person, they stood up and called out, "Chief."

"Okay."

Gu Chengyuan raised his hand to signal them not to be too formal, then asked again, "Where's the child we brought back from Jiangnan Waterfront?"

"In the captain's office." A police officer at the door pointed to the glass office in the corner.

Gu Chengyuan nodded and walked toward Zhou Jianlin's office.
