Chapter 1225 - 1224: Ambush on the Road
Lin Fan had just left when the ambulance arrived!
But the events of tonight are destined to spread across the entire Northeast!
Lin Fan’s reputation as the "Wine God" will become a legend in this bar!
Li Mingliang was taken away by ambulance, and Ximen Ding, along with two other affluent Northeast youths, had no face to stay in the bar any longer, so the three of them left together!
Their mood was heavy; they intended to mock Lin Fan but instead were slapped back by him, feeling utterly ashamed!
Zhou Meng drove off first, but when Hong Feng was about to leave, Ximen Ding suddenly called him!
"Ximen, is there something up?" Hong Feng asked, puzzled, looking at Ximen Ding!
"Get into my car for a bit!" Having said this, Ximen Ding entered his Mercedes SUV first!
Without hesitation, Hong Feng sat in the passenger seat. Ximen Ding pulled out a cigarette and handed it to Hong Feng, then lit his own and took a few heavy drags with a serious expression!
Ximen Ding said, "Tonight, we, the Northeast Four Young Masters, have lost face big time!"
"Ximen, does that kid have any background?" Hong Feng asked.
"Not exactly sure; I only know he’s the Feng family’s son-in-law, very capable, probably a soldier!" Hong Feng said uncertainly.
"Hmph! If he doesn’t have a strong background, how about I ask my dad to find some capable men to give him some trouble, and casually take him out? He dared to undermine the Northeast Four Young Masters; clearly, he’s sick of living!" Hong Feng said with a cold glint in his eyes!
"Aren’t you afraid of the Feng Family?" Ximen Ding asked.
"What about the Feng Family? They’re in Yanjing; they can’t reach us in the Northeast, can they? Besides, I’ll find people with clean identities, make up a good reason to take him out, and then just flee!" Hong Feng said skillfully, as if it were a routine matter!
"That Lin kid is formidable; I’m afraid just any men won’t be a match for him. Forget it, I’ll find someone myself. Those people don’t belong to the real world, so if something goes wrong, it won’t be traced back to us!"
Ximen Ding said coldly!
"Are you talking about Martial World men?" Hong Feng frowned!
"Leave it to me to handle this, but... why did the Lin kid attack Li Mingliang?" Ximen Ding asked.
"I reckon he’s afraid of Li Mingliang having an accident; after all, the Li Family is quite powerful!" Hong Feng replied!
Ximen Ding nodded secretly, but he still had some doubts in his heart!
It was then that Hong Feng said, "Ximen, news has come from abroad. They want to use the Northeast as a springboard to enter Huaxia commercially. We need to start preparing this side too. They’ve already sent three top experts to assist us, arriving in the Northeast tomorrow!"
"The strong rise of the Yanyu Group has indeed troubled many foreign powers who want to use this to restrain the Yanyu Group. However, we too can seize some benefits from it. Once those three helpers arrive, we will start the plan and quickly gain control of Northeast’s financial economy!" Ximen Ding declared firmly!
"I’ll follow your lead, Ximen!" Hong Feng said!
Immediately, a cold light flashed in Ximen Ding’s eyes, and he said, "Before our plan starts, we must get rid of that Lin kid!"
After speaking, Ximen Ding grabbed his phone and quickly dialed a number!
...
In the dead of night!
Harbin’s night is cool!
Lin Fan had one hand on the steering wheel, the other holding a cigarette, continuously exhaling smoke, while the wind blew through the open window, ruffling his hair with a messy yet beautiful look!
Feng Chengcheng huddled in the seat, her bright eyes staring at Lin Fan, looking at him like a little fan gazing at her idol!
Lin Fan glanced at Feng Chengcheng out of the corner of his eye and said, "Why are you staring at me like that? Think I’m handsome?"
"Tsk! Shameless! Do you think you’re more handsome than Daniel Wu or Liang Chaowei?" Feng Chengcheng retorted with an exasperated look!
"I think I’m way more handsome than both Daniel Wu and Liang Chaowei. Your gaze has already betrayed you! Don’t deny your true feelings; admit it, I’m actually very handsome, right?" Lin Fan joked with a laugh!
Hearing this, Feng Chengcheng was dumbfounded. She’d seen shameless people but never someone this shameless; was this the legendary thicker-than-wall skin?
Then, Feng Chengcheng asked, "Lin Fan, tell me honestly, why did you save Li Mingliang? This isn’t like your usual straightforward and vengeful character!"
"Didn’t expect you would figure it out!" Lin Fan smirked, giving a casual smile!
"Tell me, I’m curious!" Feng Chengcheng insisted!
Lin Fan took a deep drag from his cigarette before leisurely saying, "The Northeast Four Young Masters are local influencers here, deeply rooted with complicated backgrounds. Trying to eliminate all of them would take effort, but if they were to fracture amongst themselves, what do you think would be the outcome?"
"You want to win over Li Mingliang?" Feng Chengcheng asked in surprise!
"Not exactly win him over; Li Mingliang isn’t lacking people or power, so I have nothing to offer him. But haven’t you noticed the rifts between the Northeast Four Young Masters? This opportunity, how could I miss it?"
"Li Mingliang drank enough to have gastric bleeding to support Ximen Ding, but Ximen Ding was clearly not concerned about him; he’s worried about the consequences if Li Mingliang had an accident. I believe Li Mingliang isn’t foolish; he can see that they aren’t truly brothers, just tied by interests!"
"Saving Li Mingliang’s life, I hope the kid has some humanity and remembers this favor from me!"
Lin Fan explained carefully!
Feng Chengcheng was stunned; she hadn’t expected Lin Fan to observe so closely and lay out such an elaborate plan. If he could flip Li Mingliang, it would completely change the setup in the Northeast!
"Whoosh~"
However, just as Lin Fan flicked his cigarette butt, his ears twitched at the faint sound of something tearing through the air from afar!
Immediately, Lin Fan felt goosebumps rise all over, as a sense of danger struck his mind!
Without a second thought, Lin Fan swiftly turned the steering wheel!
"Bang!" A crisp sound suddenly echoed!
A dark shadow was seen swiftly shooting across from afar, mercilessly piercing through the rear window glass and embedding itself in the back seat!
Luckily, Lin Fan reacted in time, quickly turning the wheel; otherwise, the shadow would have struck him!
Lin Fan turned to look and saw the shadow piercing the seat was actually an arrow!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Suddenly, the crisp sound of three more arrows rang clearly in Lin Fan’s ears!
