Chapter 1242 - 1241: Five Years Ago, Five Years Later, a Painting!
From the start, Dean Zhang’s desperate struggle gradually weakened, and his arms drooped down as if he were about to die!
"Lin Fan, stop... stop right now!" Liu Yu hurriedly said!
Lin Fan chuckled softly, knowing his own strength; though it would make Dean Zhang wish for death, it would absolutely not kill him!
After that, Lin Fan lifted his foot and hoisted Dean Zhang back up!
Dean Zhang’s face was completely covered in sweat, and his complexion turned as pale as paper. As soon as he was let go, he vomited violently, even bringing up bile, collapsing powerlessly onto the ground like a corpse!
Lin Fan put a cigarette in his mouth, lit it, took a few puffs, then prodded Dean Zhang with his foot, saying, "How about now? Dead yet?"
"Ugh~"
Dean Zhang spewed again to indicate he wasn’t deceased!
Lin Fan said, "Since you’re not dead, make your stance clear now. Will you dare to harass Liu Yu again in the future?"
"No... I wouldn’t dare!" Dean Zhang dared not hesitate and responded urgently!
"Words hold no proof, better leave some evidence behind!"
Lin Fan looked at Liu Yu and said, "Give me your phone!"
"Okay!"
Although Liu Yu did not know what Lin Fan wanted to do, she obediently took out her phone and handed it to him!
Lin Fan found the phone’s recording function, switched it on, and said to Dean Zhang, "Repeat all the lecherous acts you planned for Liu Yu!"
Dean Zhang was so terrified, he dared not hesitate any longer and recounted his entire plot, it was all recorded!
Then Lin Fan continued, "These proofs are still insufficient. Judging by your conduct, you must have pocketed a lot during your years as dean. Randomly state a few things that could be your downfall!"
"You... you’re pushing me to my end!" Dean Zhang shouted.
Lin Fan squinted and said, "Recording you could perhaps end you, but if you don’t speak up, I’ll execute you on the spot right now!"
Gazing into Lin Fan’s tightly squinted, coldly glinting eyes, Dean Zhang didn’t dare to act arrogant anymore. He hurriedly confessed to several embezzlement incidents, including an outrageous act concerning an underage girl!
After hearing this, Lin Fan couldn’t resist kicking him a few more times, thinking to himself, what a damn beast!
Lin Fan saved the recording and handed it to Liu Yu, saying to Dean Zhang, "Alright, you can scram, but if you dare to harass Liu Yu again, this recording will spread all across Huaxia!"
"Yes... yes!"
Dean Zhang nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at grain, not daring to hesitate any longer, and turned to run out of the room!
For him, this place was simply a house of horrors!
After Dean Zhang left, Lin Fan turned to look at Liu Yu only to find her gazing intently at him, her eyes deep with meaning!
"What? Do you think I’m evil?" Lin Fan asked with a puff of smoke and a smile!
"No... no! You only punish the wicked!" Liu Yu quickly shook her head!
"Silly girl! Actually, I’m not a good person. My existence will only bring crisis to you, so... it’s better if you keep your distance from me! Thank you for healing me today, I will return your shirt later. It’s getting late, I’m leaving first!"
With a cigarette dangling from his mouth, Lin Fan strolled lazily towards the door. As he reached the threshold, he tilted his head slightly and gave Liu Yu a mischievous smile before stepping outside, slamming the door shut with a loud "bang!"
Lin Fan wanted Liu Yu to completely abandon any thoughts of him; he had no desire to hurt this pure girl!
As Liu Yu stared at the closed door, she felt a sudden emptiness in her head, and an inexplicable ache in her heart as if something important was quietly slipping away inside her!
Moreover, the devilish grin Lin Fan showed before leaving made Liu Yu feel deeply conflicted, a mix of loss and a hint of delight, as if she’d returned to that spring five years ago!
Then Liu Yu’s delicate hand clenched tightly, and she turned towards the bedroom!
After entering the bedroom, Liu Yu approached a shelf covered with silk!
Taking a deep breath, Liu Yu grabbed the silk and uncovered it!
It revealed a canvas. On the canvas, a painting was in progress!
It’s a path halfway up a mountain, portrayed vividly with well-handled details such as plants and terrain, brimming with life!
On this path, there’s a boy, but only his back is visible. He’s dressed in black, slightly turning, showing only half of his face, his long hair covering one eye, yet it was bright!
However, the boy’s face, though it had eyes and a nose, oddly lacked a mouth!
Additionally, judging by the drying state of the paint, the earliest parts of the painting were started many years ago, while some sections were more recent, showing that Liu Yu has been working on it for a long time, making it extremely important to her!
Hastily grabbing a paintbrush, Liu Yu carefully added a smiling mouth to the boy’s face!
If Lin Fan had been there, he would’ve been astounded to see that the shape and angle of the boy’s smile were identical to the mischievous grin he had just shown to Liu Yu when he left!
Moreover, the boy looked exactly like Lin Fan, only much younger!
This boy was Lin Fan when he was a child!
Gazing at the completed painting, Liu Yu’s face beamed with happiness as if she’d tasted honey!
"After five years, I’ve stayed here, I’ve finally found you again. That time you saved my life, I’ll remember it forever, and repay you with this lifetime!"
Liu Yu delightedly said, her smile blazing like a blooming flower, enchanting and captivating!
...
Night! Deep and silent!
At two in the morning, the hour when people are in their deepest sleep!
At this moment, a bright van suddenly drove into the hospital’s affiliated compound, stopping below Liu Yu’s apartment!
"Clatter~"
The car doors opened, and five or six burly men piled out, each wielding weapons like steel pipes and machetes!
The last to step out was, surprisingly, Dean Zhang, the one Lin Fan had just dealt with!
After leaving, Dean Zhang couldn’t swallow his anger. Moreover, with his crimes in someone else’s hands as a ticking bomb, how could he be at ease?
Not to mention, fearing Lin Fan and Liu Yu would escape with his evidence, he called in some underworld associates as soon as he got home, ignoring the pain from Lin Fan’s beating, and brought a few helpers for a surprise attack!
He just couldn’t believe that Lin Fan, no matter how skilled, could singlehandedly defeat the buddies he brought along!
