With Cousin back, Lin Fan felt much more confident.
With a super helper here, he didn't need to be afraid if he faced trouble. However, that assassin was still a problem. Even Cousin wasn't his match. In the end, he still had to rely on himself.
Or rather, he relied on the small support system.
Lin Fan and Liang Yichu didn't have any actual topics to talk about. They were just bragging and talking about things that didn't matter.
He noticed that Liang Yichu's complexion was good, much different from the first time they met.
His face was much redder.
This meant that Liang Yichu's life in the Liang Family was getting better and better, and he might inherit the position of the Liang Family Head.
After eating and drinking, time passed really quickly.
"Brother Liang, let's stop here. If there is a chance, let's meet up again." Lin Fan got up and cupped his fists. What he meant was that this bragging session had ended.
Liang Yichu smiled, "Okay, Brother Lin, have a safe trip."
In the restaurant.
"Mr. Zu, Young Master Lin is a good person, right?" Liang Yichu asked.
Zu Xiang blinked. How was he supposed to reply to that? Not bad? Everything was fake on the surface, but the truth was so terrifying.
Lin Manor.
When Lin Wanyi learned that Zhongmao was back, his expression changed.
How did he return so quickly?
Although the bandits on the side of Wei River weren't much, they were really cunning.
He knew that with Zhongmao's strength, it wasn't a problem to wipe them out. But this was just too quick. What happened? He came back half the expected time.
"Old Master, don't think about it. We underestimated Zhongmao." Old Wu saw that Old Master was troubled and consoled him. Zhongmao was too strong and exceeded everyone's expectations.
Or maybe the bandits were too stupid and careless to fight Zhongmao head-on, causing them all to be wiped out.
Lin Wanyi shook his head.
He thought too simply, he underestimated Zhongmao.
Zhongmao's cultivation had reached the peak of Grade Eight, and in a short while, he would be able to reach Grade Nine.
Such a cultivation speed was that of a genius, a true genius.
The reason why he had spent so much effort in teaching for the past ten years was to nurture a true expert for the Lin Family.
In the future, that unfilial kid would have a better life.
"Dad, I am back." After Lin Fan returned, he saw his dad and Old Wu chatting by the pond in the courtyard.
"Uncle, fortunately, we did not disappoint you. The Wei River bandits have all been annihilated." Zhou Zhongmao reported.
The Wei River bandits were too weak. Only the leader had some ability, but the difference was too great.
"Very good, thank you for your hard work." Lin Wanyi nodded his head in satisfaction. Zhongmao was not bad.
It was just that the time he took to come back was too f * cking fast. It was different from what he had imagined.
Why didn't he stay a little longer?
"Uncle, I've also brought back the bandits' wealth. There are four large boxes. I didn't expect a mere gang of bandits to have so much wealth. It seems like they robbed a lot of ship merchants." Zhou Zhongmao said.
The Wei River was an important waterway, and many merchant ships passed by. Some merchant ships could not afford to hire experts to guard them, so they could only be robbed by the river bandits.
As for the merchant ships that had experts overseeing them, the river bandits would retreat after probing them and realizing that they were no match for them.
The Wei River near You City was controlled by both the Yuan and Liang Families. However, as there were no benefits, they didn't bother and allowed the bandits to do as they pleased.
"Father, I will bring cousin back to rest." Lin Fan said.
His small support system was a little problematic.
He had to take the initiative to attack. If he didn't, he wouldn't get any rage points.
During this period of time, he was really low profile. Cousin wasn't at home, so he didn't go out. Now that cousin was back, who did he have to be afraid of?
Lin Wanyi opened his mouth, "Don't go out during this period of time."
"Why?" Lin Fan was stunned, "Father, I didn't cause any trouble recently. I even went to the Liang Family to visit Third Liang. We have already reconciled."
Rage Points + 66.
"I told you not to go out, so don't go out. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Lin Wanyi hollered in rage.
"Okay, you are the Father and I am the son. I will listen to you." Lin Fan didn't want to say more. He was starting to restrict his freedom. That was just too terrifying.
Of course, he was just casually saying that.
To want to restrict his freedom.
That was impossible.
If he didn't have freedom, he would rather die.
Then, he brought his cousin towards the backyard.
"Brother Wu, follow him during this period of time." Lin Wanyi said solemnly.
As a father, how would he not know what was going on with this unfilial kid?
He was just saying it.
He would probably head out tomorrow.
"Yes, Old Master." Old Wu replied.
That night.
The night was really dark.
Today, the Wang Family Village was really busy. Someone was getting married, and the villagers were all mobilized to hold a simple wedding banquet.
The wedding banquet ended.
Wang Dahe wobbled as he walked back home. As he walked, he hummed a tune.
"Yi, why is this woman sleeping so early today?"
He was a little curious, but he didn't care much about it.
Everyone in the village went to the wedding banquet. The women all came back after eating. Only the men drank wine until they were satisfied.
He stood in front of his house, and the cold wind blew.
With a creak, he pushed open the wooden door.
The room was pitch black, and the candles weren't lit at all.
Wang Dahe shook his head and muttered, "You are just too much. I haven't even returned and you extinguished the candles."
It was really dark. He walked to the side of the bed, and the woman was sleeping on her side.
"Woman, are you asleep?" Wang Dahe asked softly.
There was no reaction.
Wang Dahe had some thoughts. He reached his hand into the blanket and touched the woman's waist.
Instantly, he retracted his hand. It was so cold, like he had touched an ice cube.
"Woman, why is your body so cold? Did you catch a cold when you showered?"
Wang Dahe got up and wanted to flip her over to see what was going on. If she was sick, then he had to treat her.
When he saw her face.
Everything was in darkness.
Morning.
"Ah!"
A terrified scream broke the silence of the Wang Family Village.
Many villagers rushed over.
"Dahe and his wife are dead." A middle-aged man sat on the ground in terror. He pointed into the room.
Lin Manor.
Lin Fan just woke up. A new day had begun.
What was he going to do today?
He didn't have any ideas.
His relationship with Liang Yongqi was slowly calming down. Yesterday he even gave him tonics, so it wasn't good for him to hit on him today.
"Young Master, something happened in the Wang Family Village. Someone died." Gou 'zi carried a washing basin and walked in.
Lin Fan was curious, "Someone died?"
He had been here for a period of time and hadn't seen anyone die. To him, this death was a huge matter.
"Eh, someone died. I don't know why, but a total of two people died. It was a couple, and they were discovered this morning. I heard that they died in a tragic manner. Some people in the city said that it was done by a demon." Gou 'zi said the gossip that he heard.
Lin Fan washed his face and became more and more curious. They died in a tragic manner?
How tragic was that?
As for it being related to a demon, that was a little unbelievable.
But he couldn't guarantee that there wasn't such a thing.
"Let's go, call my cousin. We will head to the Wang Family Village. No matter what, the Wang Family Village belongs to our Lin Family." Lin Fan said.
Logically speaking, that was indeed the case.
