Today Yun Fan arrived at Heilong Real Estate.
Because he was short on money lately, he had called Heilong to get some funds for expenses. Since Heilong was oblivious, Yun Fan had to shamelessly take the initiative.
After all, he would bring greater value to Heilong Association in the future, so he felt perfectly at ease taking this money.
Yun Fan went up to the third floor and happened to see Heilong in the office, discussing specific cooperation steps with Lin Ya.
"Why is it you? Where's your sister?" Heilong looked at Lin Ya, whose face was traversed by a scar, and was almost startled.
Lin Ya was filled with doubt. Did Heilong have an interest in Lin Tianxin? Instantly, a deep jealousy filled her heart. No matter where she went, Lin Tianxin would steal her spotlight. However, she quickly replied verbally:
"President Heilong, I currently manage most of the Lin family's businesses. My sister is resting recently!"
"Oh!"
Heilong was somewhat disappointed. If the person in front of him was Lin Tianxin, their boss would surely be very happy to see her later. But with Lin Ya, it would be a miracle if their boss wasn't scared to death.
Immediately, Lin Ya produced the cooperation documents.
"President Heilong, please take a look!"
"Uh, Miss Lin, could you lower your head?" Heilong said with a sense of unease. Facing Lin Ya's face directly made him very uncomfortable. If it were anyone else, they would have already wet themselves.
Lin Ya's heart instantly seethed with rage. She was disfigured entirely due to Lin Tianxin and Yun Fan. Yet, she could do nothing to that pair of scoundrels.
"Okay!"
Seeing Lin Ya lower her head, Heilong felt relieved and took the documents, carefully reading the text.
The moment Lin Ya lowered her head, Yun Fan happened to catch a glimpse of her profile.
"Oh my god!"
Yun Fan shuddered. He finally understood why Heilong had made such an excessive request.
The Lin family's eldest daughter was disfigured! Fortunately, he had resolutely broken off the engagement back then. Otherwise, he would probably be having nightmares every night.
"That's not right! When we signed the contract, Heilong Real Estate clearly stated in black and white that we were cooperating with the Lin family. But the company listed here is not the Lin family's company!"
Heilong threw the documents in front of Lin Ya, clearly needing an explanation.
"President Heilong, please don't worry. This company is newly registered by me and will be incorporated into the Lin Group soon!"
Although Lin Ya explained herself logically, she was sneering inwardly. She was already hoping for the Lin family's downfall and would never see them rise from the ashes.
Even though she couldn't stop Heilong Association from cooperating with the Lin family, she could seize the fruits of their labor. Therefore, she registered a company under her name to replace the Lin family. Then, this project would have nothing to do with the Lin family.
"Is that so!"
Despite his doubts, Heilong was preparing to sign with Lin Ya.
Little did he know, Lin Ya's minor scheme was precisely captured by the observant Yun Fan.
"It seems this father and daughter are both harboring ulterior motives!"
Yun Fan scoffed inwardly. His mission was to help the Lin family overcome their crisis, not to help any single individual within the family. Therefore, he would absolutely not let Lin Ya succeed.
At this moment, Heilong saw Yun Fan outside the window making a gesture, and he instantly understood its meaning. So, he immediately said, "Miss Lin, please wait a moment. I need to consult my boss about this matter!"
"Boss?"
Lin Ya's face was filled with confusion. Didn't Heilong Association's decisions rest solely with Heilong? When did he get a boss?
In the corridor.
"Boss, what are your instructions?"
Heilong asked sheepishly.
Yun Fan said with a serious expression, "Tell Lin Ya that this project can only be given to the Lin Group. We do not recognize any other company!"
"Understood!"
As Heilong was about to turn away, Yun Fan called him back. "Uh... is the money ready?"
"It's ready. How much does the boss need?"
Heilong asked, puzzled. Although Heilong Association was not particularly wealthy, if their boss needed it, he had to provide full support, even if it meant bankruptcy.
"One hundred thousand!"
"What?" Heilong froze on the spot. No matter what, he never expected their boss would only ask for a hundred thousand.
"What? Don't you have it?"
Yun Fan was speechless. He was already poor enough. Did it mean Heilong was even poorer than him? Unable to even produce a hundred thousand.
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll transfer it to the boss's card later!"
Although Heilong was confused, he obediently complied. Whatever the boss said, he would do. After all, he didn't dare to try and guess his boss's thoughts. What if the boss didn't like him giving too much?
Even though he had prepared a hundred million for Yun Fan...
"Hmm! Good, I'll be leaving now!"
Yun Fan nodded with satisfaction. If he knew he had missed out on a hundred million, would he have beaten Heilong senseless on the spot?
"Does the boss not want to come up and sit for a while?"
Heilong didn't try to persuade him much. After all, the person in the office wasn't Lin Tianxin, so their boss wouldn't have such a strong preference for Lin Ya.
"Never mind, never mind!"
Yun Fan quickly fled. If he had to see Lin Ya's face again, he would truly have nightmares tonight.
"Why did the boss run faster than a rabbit?"
Heilong returned to the office with a sense of confusion.
"Miss Lin, my boss said that Heilong Real Estate only cooperates with the Lin Group. We do not recognize any other company!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Ya felt unwilling. She quickly said, "President Heilong, if you can make the decision to give this project to my company, I will give you a great gift!"
Heilong's heart grew cold. It seemed this woman didn't take their boss's words seriously. However, he still asked with feigned curiosity, "What great gift?"
"My sister is the most beautiful woman in Jiangnan. I'm sure President Heilong knows this. If President Heilong agrees, I will arrange for my sister to be in your bed. Is this gift enough?"
Lin Ya was confident because, in her opinion, no man could resist the temptation of Lin Tianxin, including Heilong. From Heilong's words, it was not hard to guess that he was interested in Lin Tianxin.
Who knew that as soon as she finished speaking, Heilong slapped her across the face.
"Slap!"
Before Lin Ya could react to the pain, Heilong slapped her several times back and forth, then kicked her towards the wall.
"Bang!"
Lin Ya fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and looked at Heilong with trembling eyes.
Heilong roared, "Damn it, if you want to die, don't drag me down with you! Have you gone blind? That's the woman my boss fancies! If you ever mention this again, I'll kill you!"
With that, Heilong left in a furious rage. Of course, his fear was greater than his anger. He was very relieved that their boss had left. Otherwise, he wouldn't know how to explain himself to his boss.
After a long time, Lin Ya staggered to her feet from the ground.
"Hahahaha!"
At this moment, she, who should have been angry, burst into laughter.
"I was just wondering how to deal with you two scoundrels, and now you're dead. Heaven truly helps me!"
Lin Ya's thoughts were very clear. The reason she hadn't been able to get rid of Lin Tianxin was that Yun Fan, that bothersome fellow, had repeatedly resolved crises from the shadows.
But now, an opportunity had arrived. As long as she found a reason to make Heilong's boss transfer his anger to the two of them, they would surely die. Coincidentally, both men had a connection to Lin Tianxin: one was a fiancé, and the other lusted after Lin Tianxin.
She knew Heilong to be ruthless and powerful. His boss must be even more powerful. Dealing with Yun Fan, this country bumpkin, would be a piece of cake.
...
"Achoo!"
Yun Fan sneezed as soon as he returned home.
"Damn it, why do people always talk about how handsome I am behind my back!"
Yun Fan grumbled, and as he was about to enter his home, he realized the door was not fully locked.
"I didn't lock the door?"
Yun Fan was a bit puzzled. After all, he had a habit of locking the door whenever he went anywhere.
Just then, he heard movement inside the room.
"Could there be a thief at home?"
Thinking of this, Yun Fan could no longer remain calm. To dare to steal from him, wasn't that like a birthday star hanging himself, seeking death?
So, he tiptoed into the room, preparing to apprehend this thief. Who knew that at this moment, he heard the sound of running water from the bathroom.
"Holy crap, how brazen can you be?"
Yun Fan found this unbearable. In broad daylight, under the sun, someone dared to brazenly shower in his room. Yun Fan felt utterly insulted.
Thinking of this, Yun Fan became increasingly angry. Without further ado, he yanked open the bathroom door.
"Ah..."
The person inside immediately let out a scream.
"It's you!"
Yun Fan was surprised that this "thief" was Bai Zhilan. He thought to himself, hadn't Bai Zhilan left? With that thought, he casually closed the door...
"Get out!"
Bai Zhilan quickly sprayed the showerhead at Yun Fan.
"Mistake, mistake!"
Yun Fan quickly ran out. To be honest, closing the door casually was just a reflex. He hadn't seen anything.
"So much water, it soaked my hand!"
Yun Fan wiped his hand, which was wet from the showerhead, with a towel, then changed into clean clothes.
At this moment, Bai Zhilan also came out of the bathroom.
"You pervert, how dare you peek at me bathing!" Bai Zhilan cursed angrily.
Yun Fan was speechless. Was he peeking? He was openly... catching a thief, good heavens, it was just an accident.
"This is my room. You're showering in my room without my permission. Is that polite?" Yun Fan argued reasonably.
"Hmph! That's your fault too. Be careful, I'll sue you!"
Knowing he was in the wrong, Yun Fan stopped arguing with Bai Zhilan and immediately changed the subject. "Speaking of which, didn't you leave Jiangnan already? How did you end up here?"
"Of course, I stayed behind for revenge. That guy dared to kidnap me and must pay a heavy price!"
Bai Zhilan said angrily, "For now, I'll stay at your place. From now on, we are partners!"
"That won't do. It's inconvenient for two people to live together. I'm still used to living alone!" Yun Fan directly refused. Fortunately, it was Bai Zhilan showering just now. If he had been showering and Bai Zhilan saw him, wouldn't he have suffered a great loss?
His senior sister had long warned him that men must be careful to protect themselves when they are outside.
"Five hundred a day!"
"We're all insiders. Why talk about money? Talking about money hurts our feelings!"
Yun Fan asked enthusiastically, "Do you need me to help you clean the room?"
"I want you to get out!"
"Alright!"
...
On the other side, Lin Ya had returned to the Lin family.
