Chapter 76

After completing the deposit transaction, Lin Fan and Zhao Wenjiang exchanged contact information and then left Citibank.

This time, three people died in the villa. The police would temporarily seal off the scene, take photos, and collect evidence, which was all part of the normal procedure. Lin Fan would not interfere, and Gu Chengyuan had promised that after the scene was processed, he would entrust a professional housekeeping service company to thoroughly clean the villa.

So, Lin Fan would not go home for now. Instead, he planned to take Qiqi to find a hotel and stay for one night, then return the next day.

Lin Fan did this not because he was afraid of the impurities at home after the deaths, which would not affect him. He did this entirely because the bloodstains in the villa could not be completely eliminated in a short time. Even if the housekeeping service company could clean the villa, the lingering smell of blood in the air would not dissipate quickly.

Lin Fan did not want Qiqi to be exposed to these things, so he decided to take her to stay in a hotel for the night. The smell of blood, even if it could not be detected, could still have an impact. If one stayed in such an environment for a long time, it could have a subtle influence, especially on children, who might have nightmares.

Following the navigation, Lin Fan drove to a five-star hotel called Sofitel Grand Hotel. He spent 2,888 yuan to book a luxury suite. Seeing how readily Lin Fan booked the most expensive suite, the receptionist at the hotel looked at him differently, not expecting that the young man holding a cute child and leading a pet dog was actually a rich second generation.

The receptionist skillfully processed Lin Fan's check-in and then led him to the suite via the elevator.

This young, handsome, and wealthy father, staying at a hotel alone with his daughter, must have had a strained relationship with the child's mother or had a quarrel. If she could take this opportunity to communicate with him, it would be great.

Unfortunately, Lin Fan was not a man who would only think with his lower half. He completely ignored the receptionist's advances, and his attitude was very cold, forcing the receptionist to give up on her thoughts.

After entering the room, Lin Fan placed Qiqi on the sofa in the living room, turned on the TV, and said, "Qiqi, sit here and watch cartoons. Dad will go give Xiaoshuai a bath first."

Qiqi also noticed that Xiaoshuai was dirty and nodded obediently, waving at Lin Fan and saying in a clear voice, "Go, Baba. Qiqi will be good."

"Really a good girl."

Lin Fan patted Qiqi's little head, called Xiaoshuai, and walked into the bathroom. Xiaoshuai, hearing that he was going to have a bath, barked happily and ran into the bathroom behind Lin Fan.

He had been unable to tolerate the bloodstains on his body all day, and now he was overjoyed to finally be able to take a bath.

In the bathroom, Lin Fan held the showerhead, rinsed Xiaoshuai's body, and after wetting him, applied a lot of soap to his fur, carefully washing it for about ten minutes before finishing.

"Xiaoshuai, you did well this time. In the future, if anyone dares to hurt Qiqi, bite them to death. Don't show any mercy," Lin Fan said while drying Xiaoshuai's fur with a towel.

"Woof, woof."

Hearing his owner's praise, Xiaoshuai barked happily.

Although Xiaoshuai had taken the Heavenly Spirit Seed and opened his intelligence, he was only six months old and still a child. So, hearing Lin Fan's praise, he was as happy as a child who had been praised.

Lin Fan patted Xiaoshuai's head and said, "In the future, if there's a chance, I'll get you more good things to improve your strength. Xiaoshuai, following me, your future achievements will be limitless. Now, I'll teach you a cultivation technique."

Hearing this, Xiaoshuai looked at Lin Fan with some confusion, as his current intelligence was not enough to understand what Lin Fan was saying.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "You are lucky. The 'Nine Flashes of Howling Heaven' is a secret technique of the Howling Moon Heavenly Wolf Clan in the cultivation world. It is the foundation of their status as one of the eight major races in the demon realm. When mastered, it can surpass lightning in speed, making it one of the fastest techniques in the cultivation world. Even I am a bit envious, but unfortunately, this technique is limited to demon beasts. Now, I will impart the 'Nine Flashes of Howling Heaven' to you. You can slowly digest it."

Saying this, Lin Fan placed his hand on Xiaoshuai's forehead. Xiaoshuai blinked, looking at Lin Fan curiously, not understanding what he was doing. However, soon, he felt a swelling sensation in his head, as if it were about to explode, causing him to tremble and his fur to stand on end. Despite the intense pain, Xiaoshuai, being sensible, knew that his owner would not harm him, so he endured it without moving, though his trembling body showed the immense pain he was enduring.

Lin Fan saw Xiaoshuai's performance and nodded inwardly, continuing to transmit the technique.

After three minutes, the transmission was complete. Lin Fan withdrew his hand and observed Xiaoshuai's changes.

Suddenly accepting such a vast amount of information, Xiaoshuai was a bit dazed, lying weakly on the floor. It took him about four or five minutes to recover. Then, a human-like expression appeared on his face, a mix of surprise, joy, and gratitude, which looked a bit strange.

"Woof!"

Once recovered, Xiaoshuai jumped up from the floor and pounced on Lin Fan, now aware of the invaluable opportunity he had received.

Lin Fan, still squatting, was caught off guard and was knocked over by Xiaoshuai, which surprised him.

Indeed, it was a secret technique of the Howling Moon Heavenly Wolf Clan. After receiving the transmission, Xiaoshuai's speed had nearly doubled, making him even more formidable now!

Lin Fan stroked Xiaoshuai's fur and said, "Let's go out. In the future, protect Qiqi well and don't let her get hurt, understand?"

"Woof, woof, woof!"

Xiaoshuai wagged his tail in agreement.

After cleaning Xiaoshuai's fur, Lin Fan let him play with Qiqi while he went downstairs to retrieve the herbs he had bought from Jisheng Hall from the car's trunk and brought them up to the room.

Lin Fan had bought the herbs in the morning but had not had the chance to put them away at home due to the series of events, so the herbs had been in the car all along.

Now, Lin Fan was going to use these herbs to boil a medicinal broth. This was a specialized body-strengthening broth for the Flying Dragon Special Forces, which, when combined with a unique body-strengthening technique, would definitely have a synergistic effect. In a month, Lin Fan was confident that each member of the Flying Dragon Special Forces would have their strength increased by at least two to three times!

Of course, everything comes at a price. Using Lin Fan's method, the Flying Dragon Special Forces could achieve a qualitative leap in strength in a short period, but the process would not be something an ordinary person could endure.

...

At the same time, a plane from Yang'an City landed at Longcheng International Airport.

Fang Yuan, dressed in a low-key casual outfit and wearing sunglasses, walked off the plane alone, without any luggage. Looking at the sign at the airport exit that read "Welcome to Longcheng," he smiled, a bright but chilling smile.

"Lin Fan, are you ready to face your fear?"
