Chapter 73

Seeing his two colleagues about to apprehend Lin Fan, the fat policeman's face had already broken into a smug smile. He thought to himself that these two guys were really helpful, and he would have to treat them to a barbecue, with a couple of kidneys, later. However, his smile had not fully blossomed when it froze on his face, because he heard a familiar voice, tinged with a hint of anger.

"Stop!"

The voice rang out, and the person appeared.

Gu Chengyuan's figure appeared at the stairwell, his voice booming throughout the entire lobby.

Gu Chengyuan, at the peak of his external martial arts, was undoubtedly a formidable expert in the secular world. Coupled with the aura he had cultivated from his high position, his shout instantly made all the policemen present jump in fright.

The two tall policemen who were about to "apprehend" Lin Fan were startled the moment they heard Gu Chengyuan's voice. The last time they heard him this angry was half a year ago, and the chief had not publicly lost his temper in a long time. They hurriedly tried to stop their actions.

However, they had charged forward too forcefully and could not easily stop. Under the influence of inertia, they continued to lunge forward, about to collide with Lin Fan.

Gu Chengyuan had personally come down to greet Lin Fan, and even a fool would know that Lin Fan was no ordinary person. These two policemen were in a panic, knowing that offending the chief's guest was no small matter, and it might even ruin their careers. But they had no choice now, so they closed their eyes and resigned themselves to their fate.

Seeing Gu Chengyuan appear, Lin Fan did not want to make things difficult for these people; it would be ungrateful. He subtly flipped his right hand outward, and true qi instantly gathered in his palm, releasing through it to support the two policemen, slowing their momentum.

To the two policemen, it felt as if they had fallen onto a soft, fluffy cushion, their forward momentum almost completely dissipated, allowing them to easily steady themselves. They looked at Lin Fan with shock and disbelief, knowing as the parties involved that the force had come from him.

This was beyond their comprehension.

Xiaoshua, the little dog, led the way, bounding up to Lin Fan, circling around him, wagging his tail, and acting as if he was seeking praise.

Gu Chengyuan quickly ran down the stairs to Lin Fan's side. Just as he was about to speak, Lin Fan preempted him, asking, "Old Brother Gu, where's Qiqi?"

Gu Chengyuan replied, "Qiqi is fine, Xiao Ying."

As he spoke, Gu Chengyuan turned and gestured, and Yingzi, who was following behind, walked over, reluctantly handing Qiqi to Lin Fan, her eyes full of resentment.

The moment Lin Fan took Qiqi, all his sharpness instantly dissipated, and his expression softened. He gently held Qiqi, his eyes filled with tenderness, and he looked up at Yingzi and said, "Thank you."

Yingzi tossed her head and said haughtily, "No need!"

Gu Chengyuan said, "Mr. Lin, please come upstairs with me."

"Okay."

Lin Fan nodded and followed Gu Chengyuan upstairs, with Xiaoshua happily trailing behind.

The fat policeman watched Lin Fan in a daze the whole time, only cautiously approaching Yingzi and asking in a low voice, "Sister, who is that guy?"

Yingzi replied irritably, "What kind of guy? A stinky guy!"

With that, Yingzi tossed her hand and also went upstairs.

"Stop staring, get back to work," Zhou Jianlin looked around at the onlookers and waved his hand.

...

In the meeting room.

Lin Fan sat in a chair, holding Qiqi, while Xiaoshua lay quietly at his feet. Gu Chengyuan pulled a chair and sat next to Lin Fan, looking at him hesitantly.

Lin Fan noticed Gu Chengyuan's unease, smiled, and said, "Old Brother Gu, you can speak your mind."

Gu Chengyuan asked, "Old Brother Lin, what exactly is going on?"

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes and said in a calm voice, "There are always some people who think they are incredibly smart, but they are actually walking further and further down the path of self-destruction!"

Although his tone was calm, Gu Chengyuan could still sense the overwhelming anger in Lin Fan's words, and his eyes twitched. Lin Fan continued, "The police station chief who was dismissed last time, along with Wang Fat, harbored resentment and wanted to take revenge on me. So he sent his three lackeys to infiltrate my villa to capture Qiqi, intending to use Qiqi to force me to comply. If it weren't for Xiaoshua, the consequences would have been unimaginable!"

As he spoke, Lin Fan looked down at Xiaoshua, who wagged his tail proudly upon feeling his master's gaze.

"What do you think I should do about such people?"

Gu Chengyuan frowned slightly and asked, "So, the speedboat on the river..."

Lin Fan's voice instantly turned cold, and he slowly said four words:

"Deserves death!"

Lin Fan's words were essentially an admission to Gu Chengyuan that the person on the speedboat was Wang Chao, and that he had killed him.

Gu Chengyuan had already been prepared for this outcome, so he was only slightly taken aback before regaining his composure. He waved his hand and said in a relaxed tone, "I see. Don't worry, Brother Lin, I will handle it."

"Bang!"

At that moment, the meeting room door was pushed open, and Lin Fan and Gu Chengyuan turned to look. Yingzi stormed in, holding several screenshots from video surveillance, which she slammed on the table, pointing at Lin Fan and saying, "Lin Fan, here is evidence of you killing Wang Chao and the other two, and disposing of the bodies! You killed people and still dare to come to the police station, truly walking into the trap!"

As she spoke, Yingzi took out handcuffs and tried to cuff Lin Fan.

"Slap!"

Seeing this, Gu Chengyuan slammed his hand on the table and roared, "Yingzi! Who told you to do that!"

Yingzi pointed at Lin Fan and argued, "Chief Gu, this person is involved in five murders. Such a heinous criminal cannot be allowed to go unpunished!"

Gu Chengyuan cut her off, saying, "When personal safety is threatened, citizens have the right to kill criminals to protect themselves! Besides, Mr. Lin is a special consultant for the Flying Dragon Special Forces, and he has law enforcement authority!"

"What!?" Yingzi looked at Gu Chengyuan in disbelief. Her brother was in the Flying Dragon Special Forces, and she had never heard him mention a special consultant. To her, this was clearly Gu Chengyuan deliberately covering for Lin Fan. So, the fearless Yingzi insisted on arresting Lin Fan: "Chief, I have never heard of a special consultant in the Flying Dragon Special Forces. I only know he is a murderer, and the evidence is clear!"

A hint of helplessness flashed across Gu Chengyuan's face, and he took a piece of paper from his pocket and slapped it on the table, saying, "This is the appointment letter!"

Yingzi suspiciously picked up the paper and glanced at it. Her expression became awkward; the seal on the document was genuine. Could Lin Fan really be a special consultant for the Flying Dragon Special Forces?

"Alright, you can leave. I have work to discuss with Consultant Lin."

Gu Chengyuan waved his hand. This appointment letter was something he had just prepared, and he didn't expect it to come in handy.

"But..."

"No buts, get out!"

Yingzi glared at Lin Fan in defiance and stormed out of the meeting room, still fuming.

As soon as she left the meeting room, Yingzi took out her phone and dialed a number:

"Brother, someone is bullying your sister..."
