Chapter 80

On the outskirts of Longcheng City, there is a standalone farmhouse.

This courtyard was rented by Fangyuan before he came to Longcheng City. It is far from the city center, very quiet, and having such a place makes it convenient for him to handle matters. If he stayed in a hotel, many things would be difficult to manage.

Although Lin Fan has been expelled from the Lin family, it is ultimately a family matter. The Lin family can punish Lin Fan however they want. However, if outsiders were to deal with Lin Fan, it would be like slapping the Lin family in the face, and the Lin family would definitely not let it go. They might even send people to deal with those who dare to harm Lin Fan. To avoid unnecessary trouble, Fangyuan decided to keep a low profile during his trip to Longcheng. Completing the task secretly would be the best outcome.

After abducting Long Ze, Fangyuan took a taxi to this farmhouse.

Inside the room, Fangyuan threw Long Ze to the ground, then filled a basin with water from the tap in the courtyard and splashed it directly onto Long Ze.

"Phew! Damn! Xi Ba! Shit! F*ck!"

Long Ze shivered, cursed a few times, and then looked around. He found himself in an old brick and tile house. The furniture in the room was very old, and in front of him stood a young man in casual clothes, slightly overweight.

"Damn, do you really not know who Brother Long is!"

Long Ze always considered himself a man of the world and had even come up with a catchphrase for himself: "In the world, I am Brother Long, ruthless and few words, whether Longcheng is chaotic or not, it's up to Brother Long." How could he tolerate such treatment? He cursed, wiped the water off his face, got up from the ground, clenched his fists, and angrily charged at Fangyuan.

"Bang!"

Fangyuan looked at Long Ze expressionlessly, kicked out lightning-fast, and hit Long Ze in the stomach, sending him flying backward into a cabinet. The force of the kick broke the two doors of the cabinet, and Long Ze fell inside.

"Ouch!" Long Ze clutched his stomach, his face contorted in pain. He felt a spasm in his stomach and almost passed out. His expression changed as he looked at Fangyuan; this seemingly harmless and honest young man was not someone to be trifled with.

Realizing the gap between himself and his opponent, Long Ze stopped acting tough and said with a bitter face, "Brother, which gang are you from? We're all people of the world, let's talk things out, no need to resort to violence."

Fangyuan threw the basin aside, walked to Long Ze, adjusted his pants, squatted down, and said, "Kid, I ask the questions, you answer. Don't play any tricks and don't hide anything, got it?"

Long Ze nodded repeatedly, "Got it, got it, I'll tell you everything I know."

Seeing that Long Ze was being cooperative, Fangyuan nodded and asked, "What's your name?"

Long Ze gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, my name is Long Ze, the 'Long' from 'flying dragon in the sky' and the 'Ze' from 'blessing the world.'"

Fangyuan's eyes widened at the name, and he patted Long Ze's forehead, saying, "Why the hell did you get such a name?"

Long Ze was stunned, "Brother, what's wrong with my name? I think it's great, very symbolic, and it sounds good."

Fangyuan sneered, "You're called Long Ze, do you know someone named Lola?"

Long Ze shook his head, "No, Brother, do you know her?"

"I know the combination of these two names..." Fangyuan muttered and continued, "What's your relationship with Lin Fan?"

"Who? Lin Fan?" Long Ze looked at Fangyuan in confusion and said, "Brother, who is Lin Fan? I don't know him. I just vaguely remember that the protagonist of a web novel I read before, 'Myth of the Web Game,' was named Lin Fan, along with Murong Shanshan. You can search it online; it's a famous web game novel, very popular..."

Fangyuan's face showed a hint of impatience, and he slapped Long Ze's face, grinning menacingly, "Kid, don't try to fool me. If you cooperate, we can talk. If you keep being uncooperative, don't blame me for using other means."

Long Ze waved his hands, "No, no, Brother, I'm not being uncooperative. I really don't know this Lin Fan."

Fangyuan pressed, "Then why were you in his villa?"

"His villa?" Long Ze was taken aback, then realized and said, "Brother, I have no connection with the owner of that villa. More than three years ago, he gave my aunt some money and instructed her to clean the villa every half month. I just took my aunt's key and invited my friends to play there. I really don't know anything else."

"Hmm?" Fangyuan looked at Long Ze suspiciously.

Long Ze swallowed and continued, "Brother, my aunt told me that the owner of the villa hasn't been seen for more than three years. He might be dead or something. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to play in someone's villa. Can you imagine me daring to provoke someone who can afford such a villa?"

Seeing that Fangyuan still didn't believe him, Long Ze took out his phone, tapped a few times, and showed the screen to Fangyuan, "Brother, look, this is the message my aunt sent me."

Fangyuan took the phone and looked at it. It was indeed as Long Ze said. It seemed he had stumbled upon this by chance.

"Bang!"

Fangyuan threw the phone back to Long Ze, stood up, and kicked Long Ze's leg. Long Ze cried out, "Ouch! Brother, didn't we clear everything up? Why are you still hitting me?"

Fangyuan pointed at Long Ze, his chest heaving with anger, "Damn... Why did you go to someone's house to play? Because of you, I've had the worst luck! You ruined my plans, do you think I shouldn't hit you?"

"Should..." Long Ze nodded, looking aggrieved.

"Damn!"

Fangyuan paced back and forth in the room, his mood烦躁. The current situation was indeed unexpected.

"Ding ding ding ding..." (This should be a sound effect, the iPhone ringtone 2333)

At this moment, Fangyuan's phone rang, interrupting his thoughts. He took out his phone, and his expression changed immediately. He quickly answered the call and respectfully said,

"Master."

"Fangyuan, how's the job going?" A voice like a duck's quacked slowly from the phone.

Fangyuan glanced at Long Ze, who was still cowering in the cabinet, and his lips twitched. He said, "Don't worry, Master, everything is going smoothly. I'll finish the job soon."

"Good, I hope to hear good news from you tomorrow. I can't wait to see this old friend in his current state of decline, ha ha."

After saying that, the other party hung up. Hearing the busy signal, Fangyuan put down his phone and turned around, his eyes cold as he looked at Long Ze.

At this point, Fangyuan had already decided to kill Long Ze. He could not allow any possibility of a leak. This person knew too much and could not be left alive.
