Chapter 143 Taking Over the Company
"Don't worry, with your cultivation level, there will be no human interference in the investigation."
Fang Yixiao guessed Lin Fan's thoughts: he was being overly cautious, fearing the appearance of a powerful enemy.
Any martial artist from the Nine Netherworlds could wreak havoc in the mortal world if brought here. Fortunately, the Blood Thunder Curse prevented a group of villains from emerging.
"I understand."
After chatting with Fang Yixiao for a while, Lin Fan hung up the phone.
Afterwards, Lin Fan assigned Liang Sanhu and Nangong Jin the task of finding the Blood Thunder Curse.
After learning about the current state of martial arts cultivation, Lin Fan no longer had any reservations. If he could find the Blood Thunder Curse, he would do his best to break it.
"Holy crap, it's 11 o'clock!"
Lin Fan glanced at the wall clock, then opened another can of beer and downed it in one gulp: "I have to go, my family is waiting for me."
Liang Sanhu watched Lin Fan's hurried departure and couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions.
The man who stands at the pinnacle of the mountain city, even the man who stands at the pinnacle of martial arts in this world, is willing to become a live-in son-in-law.
"Brother Sanhu, do you think President Lin is willing to go back to Jiuyou if he loves his wife so much?" Nangong Jin asked, drying her hair.
Liang Sanhu smiled and asked, "Do you want to go back?"
"A little bit," Nangong Jin said with a smile.
Then, the two looked at each other and smiled.
Lin Fan's car was totaled in the crash. Fearing that Su Ruowei would worry, he asked Gao Xuan to arrange another Mercedes-Benz G-Class, the same as the previous one, with even the license plate number being exactly the same.
Lin Fan jogged back to Villa 001 and came to the courtyard, where he found the hall lights were still on.
Upon closer inspection, Su Ruowei was asleep on the sofa.
"How did you fall asleep here?" Lin Fan sighed softly, then picked up Su Ruowei.
Lin Fan noticed that Su Ruowei's eyelashes trembled slightly the moment he picked her up.
He was pretending to be asleep.
Upon arriving at the bedroom, Lin Fan placed Su Ruowei on the bed and then went to wash up.
After washing up, Lin Fan came out and saw that Su Ruowei was still pretending to be asleep. He thought he might as well tease her.
Lin Fan lay on the bed, propping his head up with his hand and looking at Su Ruowei: "Hey, why don't you take off your clothes before sleeping? Let me take them off for you."
"I'm going to make my move!"
Su Ruowei's eyelashes trembled violently, her lips were pressed even tighter, and her pretty face flushed red, but she showed no signs of struggling.
"Stop joking, I'm going to sleep now," Lin Fan said deliberately.
Su Ruowei opened her eyes, the blush vanished abruptly, and she said with a look of disdain, "Why are you back so late?"
"Not acting anymore?" Lin Fan smiled and moved forward slightly. "Weren't I going to apologize to the Ji family? They invited me for drinks."
Su Ruowei blushed and sniffed the air; sure enough, there was the smell of alcohol.
She then looked at Lin Fan and said, "The Su family company hasn't filed for bankruptcy yet. Today, my uncle asked me to take over the company. What do you think, should I take it or not?"
Lin Fan frowned: "Su Zhengwen?"
“That’s right, and those members of the Su family’s collateral branches also called me quite a few times today,” Su Ruowei said.
“Then let’s take it. The Shancheng Group’s project has stabilized, so we can hand it over to Su Zhengwen for temporary management. However, we must keep the initiative in our own hands,” Lin Fan said.
Lin Fan was also aware that if Su Jianqiang was arrested and the Su family filed for bankruptcy, it would be difficult for these members of the Su family to find jobs. That was why they had no choice but to ask Su Ruowei to take over.
It's better to let Su Ruowei manage the company than to starve to death.
"Okay, then I'll take over the company."
After Su Ruowei finished speaking, she thought for a moment and then made up her mind to ask, "The Su family's bankruptcy is actually related to you, isn't it?"
Lin Fan smiled and said, "They brought this on themselves."
Lin Fan smiled, while Su Ruowei kept looking at him, her beautiful eyes darting around, as if she knew something.
The two were deadlocked, and the atmosphere was awkward.
Lin Fan broke the silence first: "What's wrong, Ruowei? Is something the matter?"
"Actually, you have connections with the Shancheng Group, don't you?"
Su Ruowei moved closer to Lin Fan, face to face, only ten centimeters apart.
Lin Fan could clearly feel Su Ruowei's breath, and the fragrance emanating from her body made him feel somewhat suffocated.
"Uncle Gao, I've known you since I was a kid," Lin Fan stammered.
Su Ruowei moved a few centimeters closer, and their noses were about to touch.
She said slowly, "I don't mean that. I mean, do you have any connection with the Shancheng Group, or rather, with the Lin family of Shancheng?"
His tone was firm, even somewhat aggressive, a side of him that Lin Fan had never seen before.
Lin Fan felt a subtle fragrance wafting towards his nose and couldn't help but swallow.
"How could I possibly have any connection with the Lin family of Shancheng?"
Su Ruowei placed her hand on Lin Fan's heart and asked, "I already know everything, so why did you hide it from me?"
Sweat beaded on Lin Fan's forehead and his back was soaked through. No matter how calm he tried to appear, he couldn't hide the violent pounding of his heart.
"I, I didn't mean to."
Lin Fan was breathing heavily, and the air in front of him was already filled with the smell of alcohol.
Su Ruowei was somewhat resistant to alcohol, but still forced herself to say, "Why did you have to hide this from me?"
Whether it was embarrassment or the effects of the alcohol, her cheeks were flushed and burning hot, and her heart was pounding.
Lin Fan could no longer discern Su Ruowei's current attitude; was she angry or something else?
He closed his eyes tightly, took a deep breath, and said, "I confess, yes, I am the heir of the Lin family of Shancheng."
The atmosphere is condensing.
"What did you say?" Su Ruo asked in a low voice, as if she hadn't heard clearly.
"I said, I am the heir of the Lin family of Shancheng." Lin Fan opened his eyes, his gaze firm.
Like a startled squirrel, Su Ruowei quickly removed her hand from Lin Fan's chest and moved to the other side of the bed.
He widened his eyes and asked, "Shan, the Lin family of Shancheng, Lin Tianlong, is that you?"
Lin Fan was taken aback. Was it a bluff?
Immediately, Lin Fan began to feign ignorance: "Ah, ah-ba, ah-ba ah-ba."
Su Ruowei was completely confused. She only guessed that Lin Fan might be a distant relative of the Lin family, otherwise the things that had happened to her in the past month would have been too smooth, all thanks to the unconditional help from the Shancheng Group.
Moreover, it was Lin Fan who helped her make the judgment. All these coincidences made it impossible for her not to think this way.
"I... I was just joking," Lin Fan said with a silly grin. "You actually believed that? How could I be him?"
"Okay, I'll tell you." Su Ruo smiled, and suddenly an idea sprouted in her mind.
"Go to sleep, it's almost 12 o'clock, and we still have to go to the Su family's headquarters tomorrow. We can't be late for President Su's first day in office." Lin Fan said and turned to the side, barely managing to get away with it.
"Mmm," Su Ruowei replied softly.
She swallowed hard, picked up her phone from the bedside table, and dialed the number that everyone in the mountain city knew.
"Ding--"
After a ring, the person on the other end of the phone asked, "Hello, who is this?"
Su Ruowei was shocked. The number had actually been answered? Looking at Lin Fan, she saw him sleeping on his side.
"No, I'm sorry, I dialed the wrong number!" Su Ruowei said and quickly hung up the phone.
Su Ruowei's heart was pounding wildly, filled with lingering fear. She had actually mustered up the courage to call Lin Tianlong.
