14: Recognition - Breaking up with Lin Fan

On the other side.

Inside the manor, Lin Fan had been waiting alone for a long time.

As time passed, his expression gradually darkened.

Dealing with an ordinary person like Li Quan, does a top-tier killer like Blood Eyes from Ghost Tooth need this much time?

This made Lin Fan question the capabilities of this killer organization.

He wanted to ask Blood Eyes what the situation was, but it was somewhat ridiculous that he didn't have Blood Eyes' contact information.

So he could only wait.

Waiting and waiting...

He waited until the latter half of the night, then Lin Fan left the manor filled with anger. He wanted to go and see the situation on Li Quan's side himself!

Not long after.

Lin Fan appeared on the rooftop of a tall building and could clearly see Li Quan's residence.

Judging by the large area of shattered glass on the outside, there had indeed been fluctuations of spiritual energy from Ancient martial arts practitioners.

Lin Fan didn't know the situation inside.

He now had only one biggest question: "Where is Blood Eyes?"

Blood Eyes was clearly not dead, so where did he go?

Even if he failed the mission and didn't dare to see him, he should at least send him a message, right?

Yesterday, Wang Biao didn't send any information, which led him to contact him proactively. Now, Blood Eyes is doing the same.

Little did he know.

Ye Tian, who had impersonated him earlier, had already severely reprimanded Blood Eyes. Now, all the killers of Ghost Tooth didn't dare to appear in front of Lin Fan without permission.

...

With a belly full of questions, Lin Fan returned to the manor.

If it weren't for being sued by Li Quan for murdering his parents, why would Lin Fan be so troubled?

He would have just brought his silver needles and paid a visit!

Now, because of that lawsuit, everyone's attention was focused on him, Lin Fan, making it impossible for him to act rashly.

In Lin Fan's opinion, the most urgent matter was still to find Hei Mei.

Only by having Hei Mei help him conceal his whereabouts could he let go and do more things.

...

...

The next day, in the early morning.

Inside the quiet and luxurious house.

Hei Mei woke up early and started cleaning the room.

Why so diligent? Of course, it was because of Li Quan's egg-fried rice!

Salivating, Hei Mei accidentally swept out a necklace on the floor.

Seeing the necklace, she picked it up from the floor with a sense of familiarity.

There was an indelible burn mark on a part of the necklace, and the center was clearly the heart-shaped pendant on the necklace. This pendant could be opened.

As if possessed by a Ghost, Hei Mei opened this familiar heart-shaped pendant.

What appeared before Hei Mei's eyes was a yellowed photograph.

Seeing the family of three in the photo, Hei Mei was struck by lightning!

This! This necklace!

"What are you doing with my things?" Li Quan placed the finished egg-fried rice on the table, then took the necklace from Hei Mei's hand with one hand.

"That's mine! My necklace! Give it back to me!"

Hei Mei looked at the necklace taken by Li Quan with uncontrollable emotion, her red eyes somehow shedding tears.

"I've been wearing this thing for ten years, how could it be yours?"

Li Quan's words made Hei Mei freeze on the spot.

In an instant, she thought of the fire from that year, and the little boy who was injured while saving her.

"You..." Hei Mei looked at the Man in front of her, somewhat at a loss.

She remembered! When she bandaged Li Quan's back wound yesterday, there was indeed a very obvious scar on his back!

That scar...

At this moment, Hei Mei seemed to have discovered something. She seemed to have found, found the boy she had been looking for for ten years!

"Are you that boy?!"

"What?" Li Quan looked confused.

"That, the little girl in that photo, is me! It's me!" Hei Mei pointed to the necklace, while looking closely at Li Quan: "Did you save a girl ten years ago?!"

"It's you?!"

In an instant, Li Quan's face showed surprise, delight, unexpectedness, and being caught off guard.

"Yes! It's me!"

Hei Mei's tears of excitement kept flowing, her delicate and pretty face looking disheveled.

She had never thought that she would be reunited with her childhood savior in this situation.

She was saved by Li Quan as a child, and again yesterday. It's truly fate playing tricks!

"Ding~ Host replaces Lin Fan as Hei Mei's savior, gaining 2000 points."

"Protagonist Lin Fan has 200 Luck deducted, remaining 7300 points."

"If you are that girl, then this necklace should indeed be returned to you."

Li Quan handed the necklace to Hei Mei, his tone full of relief.

Hei Mei didn't refuse, her clear eyes looking at the Man in front of her, still choked up.

...

...

With the relationship of savior between Li Quan and Hei Mei being confirmed, their relationship clearly became closer.

For the past ten years, Hei Mei had been working tirelessly for two things.

One was to find out the cause of the fire that year, and the other was to find the boy who carried his pain to save her back then.

Now.

She had found the answer to one of the things.

In Hei Mei's opinion, in this world now, Li Quan had become her only relative!

"Brother Li, I contacted Brother Lin by email. He said the killers from Ghost Tooth won't bother me anymore!"

Hei Mei shared the good news with Li Quan.

"It seems that Brother Lin is a very capable person."

Li Quan smiled lightly: "If I have time, I'd like to meet him."

Hearing Li Quan's words, a hint of unnaturalness flashed across Hei Mei's expression.

She was very clear about the conflict between Li Quan and Lin Fan.

To put it more severely, the two sides could even be called mortal enemies!

As Lin Fan's friend and also Li Quan's friend, Hei Mei was now in a very difficult situation.

She didn't dare to confess her identity as Dark Rose in front of Li Quan.

She was afraid that as soon as she said it, Li Quan would leave her! This feeling of concealment made her extremely tormented.

"Brother Lin said he also wanted to see you, but unfortunately he doesn't have time." Hei Mei made up a story.

"That's a pity." Li Quan sighed without a trace of doubt.

This trust made the guilt in Hei Mei's heart weigh even heavier: "Brother Li, I have to go out this afternoon. Without the people from Ghost Tooth, it should be quite safe."

"Okay."

Li Quan didn't ask any more questions.

...

In the afternoon.

Hei Mei arrived at a well-decorated house.

In front of her was a young Man who didn't look very well.

"Lin Fan?"

"Xiao Mei, I finally found you!" Seeing the person who arrived, Lin Fan excitedly stepped forward, intending to hug Hei Mei and comfort her in her ear.

But Hei Mei directly took half a step back.

"Lin Fan, you asked me to come out, is there something?" Hei Mei directly cut to the chase.

This much more distant attitude and tone made the smile on Lin Fan's face freeze.

Could it be that she was angry because he didn't arrive on time to save her yesterday?

"Xiao Mei, I do have something I need to ask for your help with."

Lin Fan said, picking up a document from the desk on the side: "I want you to help me investigate how Lis Group obtained these documents."

The documents on the table were clearly information about those commercial spies.

From beginning to end, Lin Fan had been bothered by this matter.

In order to conceal this matter from the media, Lin Fan even asked Cheng Jun for help.

This matter must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise, once Cheng Jun can't suppress it, the fate of their Tianyu Company will not be much better than Li's!

"Need to investigate Li's?" Hei Mei frowned.

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Lin Fan hadn't heard the tone in Hei Mei's voice yet.

"Can't we coexist peacefully with Lis Group?"

"Peaceful coexistence?" Lin Fan looked up, feeling that this had touched his bottom line: "Hei Mei, why do you have this idea?"

"Tianyu Company must completely swallow Li's? Is there no possibility of reconciliation between you?"

"Isn't this what we've been planning all along?" Lin Fan realized that Hei Mei was a little off today, took her hand, and said gently: "By then, our Tianyu Company will become the largest company in the entertainment industry, and you will be an Elder-level contributor."

"Since that's the case..." Hei Mei took a deep breath and shook off Lin Fan's hands: "I'm sorry, Lin Fan, I can't help you investigate Lis Group's information anymore!"
