Chapter 81

Long Ze was startled by Fang Yuan's cold, icy gaze, a chill running through his body from head to toe. He couldn't help but shiver, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart. He hurriedly shouted, "Big Brother, Big Brother, don't kill me, I'm still useful! Really, I can help you!"

Fang Yuan asked in a calm voice, "How can you help me?"

Long Ze's eyes darted around in circles, desperately thinking of a strategy. Just as Fang Yuan's patience was about to run out and he raised his hand to strike, Long Ze suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted, "Big Brother! I've got it!"

Fang Yuan's expression softened slightly, and he lowered his hand, frowning as he urged, "Speak quickly!"

Long Ze swallowed hard, looking at Fang Yuan and speaking rapidly, "Big Brother, you want to find that guy called Lin Fan, right? I can help you. You said you're alone, and no matter how capable you are, finding him in such a large Longcheng is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I can help you find him. Don't look down on me; I may not have great abilities, but I grew up in Longcheng and know a lot of people. I can help you find Lin Fan!"

After listening to Long Ze, Fang Yuan thought for a moment and found his words reasonable. He had already lost the advantage, and if this dragged on, unexpected situations might arise. Although this scoundrel before him wasn't much, he could still help find people.

Thinking this, Fang Yuan took out his phone and said, "Alright, this person is my target. Help me find him, and contact me as soon as you have any news."

As he spoke, Fang Yuan found Lin Fan's photo on his phone and showed it to Long Ze.

After a quick glance, Long Ze grinned and said, "Big Brother, let's add each other on WeChat. Send me his photo, and I'll forward it to my friends, mobilizing everyone to help you find him."

"Sure."

Fang Yuan and Long Ze added each other as friends, and then Fang Yuan sent him Lin Fan's photo. He added, "Don't try any tricks, or this cup will be your fate."

With that, Fang Yuan picked up a ceramic cup from the table and lightly squeezed it, turning it into powder. He raised his hand to his mouth and blew, scattering the powder in the air.

Fang Yuan let out a cold snort and glanced at Long Ze.

This move made Long Ze shiver. He looked at Fang Yuan in terror, shaking his head repeatedly, "I won't try any tricks, I absolutely won't."

"That's best, or I won't hesitate to eliminate you," Fang Yuan nodded in satisfaction and said, "Don't worry, I won't use you for nothing. If you find the person within 48 hours, I'll give you 100,000 yuan. For every hour earlier, I'll add 10,000 yuan. If you want more money, do a good job. Understand?"

Fang Yuan, who had been in the Fang family for over 20 years, naturally knew the basic principle of rewarding and punishing subordinates.

Hearing Fang Yuan's promise, Long Ze's eyes lit up. He thought this money was easy to earn, much better than the constant fear of smuggling. He nodded repeatedly, "Understood, understood!"

At this moment, Long Ze was overjoyed, already imagining how he would spend the money.

"Also," Fang Yuan warned, "keep the target's name strictly confidential. If a third person finds out, I won't spare you!"

Long Ze nodded and said, "Don't worry, I understand the rules."

"Alright, get out. Also, clean up the villa and remove all traces," Fang Yuan waved his hand.

"Alright, got it." Long Ze responded, got up from the ground, and walked out.

After leaving the courtyard, Long Ze realized he was in a desolate place with no cars passing by for a long time. Helpless, he took out his phone, opened the navigation, and started walking towards the city.

After Long Ze left, Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes, looking in the direction of the gate, a cold smile on his lips.

Regardless of whether the task succeeded or failed, Long Ze's fate was already sealed.

...

The next day, 8:00 AM.

Lin Fan gently pushed open Qiqi's room door and saw her lying on the other side of the bed, sprawled out, her little mouth pouting, sleeping soundly. The blanket had been kicked to the floor at some point.

Originally, he planned to wake Qiqi, but seeing her sleep so peacefully, he couldn't bear to disturb her. He quietly covered her with the blanket and then left, heading to the kitchen.

After a night of slow simmering, the medicinal broth was completely ready, filling the room with a strong, fragrant aroma. Lin Fan took out a pre-prepared jar and poured the broth into it.

Don't be fooled by the small amount of broth, less than two liters, but it was enough for all the members of the Flying Dragon Special Forces. This broth was a formula from the cultivation world, and the members of the Flying Dragon Special Forces were only physically stronger and more agile than ordinary people. They were mere mortals and couldn't withstand the full energy of the broth. If they used it forcefully, while it wouldn't be as severe as bursting, their meridians would definitely be damaged. Therefore, the broth needed to be diluted many times before it could be used by them.

After pouring the broth, Lin Fan placed the jar on the balcony to cool naturally, and then went to the bathroom to wash up.

After Lin Fan finished washing up, Qiqi woke up naturally. She kicked her little legs and started calling for her daddy. Lin Fan's hearing was extremely sharp, and he heard her the moment she called out. He threw the towel on the rack and quickly appeared at Qiqi's bedroom door, pushing it open and walking in.

"Daddy, pick me up," Qiqi, who had been lying on the bed, sat up immediately when she saw Lin Fan, stretching out her chubby little arms. Lin Fan smiled, quickly walked to the bed, picked up Qiqi, and kissed her on the cheek, saying, "Qiqi, my little treasure, did you sleep well?"

Qiqi wrapped her arms around Lin Fan's neck, rubbing her little face against his, and said, "Qiqi slept so well, and I even dreamed of eating lots of delicious food."

"You little foodie," Lin Fan laughed heartily, carrying Qiqi out of the bedroom, "Qiqi, shall we go play with many big brothers today?"

Qiqi clapped her hands happily, "Yes, yes, Qiqi likes it."

Lin Fan said, "Let's wash our face, brush our teeth, and get dressed beautifully before we go."

Qiqi raised her little fist, "Okay!"

Half an hour later, Lin Fan checked out of the hotel room and drove to the Flying Dragon Special Forces base.

On the way, Lin Fan called Gu Chengyuan, saying he would arrive at the base before 10:00 AM and asked him to gather the team members in advance.

Gu Chengyuan was more than happy to comply with Lin Fan's request. He had been waiting impatiently for a day. After hanging up with Lin Fan, he called the deputy commander of the special forces, Yang Song. As soon as the call connected, Gu Chengyuan got straight to the point, "Yang Song, gather all the team members, and have them assemble at the training ground at 9:30 AM."
