"It was Grandpa who told them not to follow."
A voice came through, and then Liu Bingāer walked in, holding a medicine box.
The middle-aged man looked at Liu Bingāer, sneering, "Today you were with your father, how could you be so careless? If something happened to him, can you take responsibility?"
Liu Bingāerās face was a bit cold, "I didnāt want Grandpa to fall ill. If you want him to be well, Third Uncle, stop wasting time with nonsense."
With that, Liu Bingāer ignored the middle-aged man, opened the medicine box, took out a dark elixir, had someone bring water, and fed it to Liu Tingshan.
This medicine was quite miraculous, as Liu Tingshanās complexion fully recovered its rosiness, and his tightly furrowed brows relaxed, though he hadnāt regained consciousness.
Liu Bingāer let out a long sigh of relief. If something happened to Grandpa, Third Uncle would definitely not let her go.
Seeing Liu Tingshan was fine, the middle-aged man didnāt say much more to Liu Bingāer and called to the bodyguards, "Hurry up and help the old master into the room to rest!"
Lin Fan walked up to Liu Bingāer, smiled, and said, "Miss Liu, since the old master is okay, Iāll take my leave now."
Liu Bingāer gratefully said, "Thank you so much for today, Brother Lin. Why not leave a contact? When Grandpa wakes up, heāll surely want to thank you in person."
Lin Fan smiled and said, "It was just a small gesture, no need to be so polite."
Liu Bingāer bit her lip; she was Liu Tingshanās granddaughter, someone many dreamed of getting contact with, yet now she was offering it to Lin Fan, and Lin Fan actually tactfully declined!
"If Grandpa wants to see you but canāt find you, heāll be disappointed," Liu Bingāer said.
"Alright."
Lin Fan then exchanged phone numbers with Liu Bingāer.
Liu Bingāer said, "Then I wonāt keep Brother Lin, Iāll see you out."
Liu Bingāer then escorted Lin Fan to the door, and Lin Fan got in his car and drove off.
Soon after, Lin Fan received a friend request from Liu Bingāer on WeChat, which he casually accepted.
"Brother Lin, thank you for tonight," Liu Bingāer sent a message with a playful emoji.
Lin Fan casually replied with "Youāre welcome." Helping Liu Tingshan was just a coincidence and not something he took to heart.
But now he realized some time had passed, and night had deepened.
Lin Fan planned to hurry back to his apartment.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
It was Anna calling!
"Master, where are you? Can you come pick me up?" Anna sounded a bit anxious.
Lin Fan was a bit puzzled, "What happened?"
Anna said, "The master told me to cut off an ear of Feng Wanshan, but there are experts around him. I failed and lost the car. Now Iām being chased by them, but Iāve temporarily shaken them off."
Lin Fan frowned, "Give me an address."
Anna said, "Iāll send you a location on WeChat."
Lin Fan received Annaās location and said, "Alright, hide there, Iām coming to find you."
Anna apologetically said, "Feng Wanshan might have recognized me. Sorry, Master, I let you down this time."
Lin Fan said, "Itās okay, Iām on my way."
Lin Fan hung up the phone and sped away following the location.
A hint of a cold smile appeared on his face.
Thereās no need to ask, this is definitely a trap.
A trap set up by Feng Wanshan and Anna together, naturally aimed at him.
Feng Wanshan finally retaliated.
Lin Fan had Anna cut Feng Wanshanās ear, to teach him a lesson, hoping theyād turn on each other and, if possible, sow discord between them.
He had anticipated that Feng Wanshan wouldnāt let Anna cut his ear. The task given to Anna was destined to fail.
Sure enough.
Now, Anna had indeed "failed" and was luring him over to pick her up. They must have set up a trap over there, waiting for him to show up.
If Lin Fan hadnāt gotten the Strengthening Blood Serum Capsules, he would have had a different countermeasure out of caution and wouldnāt have gone there.
But now Lin Fan had a better way to deal with it, decisively deciding to go and see.
Meanwhile, in an unfinished building in the city, surrounded by darkness and only a dim streetlamp nearby.
Under the streetlamp stood Anna.
"Godfather, Lin Fan took the bait, heās on his way," Anna said into the phone, her expression indifferent.
On the other end, Feng Wanshan laughed heartily, "Very good. The kid doesnāt know youāre with me, he seems to trust you quite a bit!"
Anna said nothing, hung up the phone, and furrowed her brows.
Lin Fan had been deceived, but for some reason, she didnāt feel happy. She knew what fate awaited Lin Fan.
Getting beaten up would be fortunate; perhaps heād even have an ear cut off by Feng Wanshan.
Anna recalled the scene from that morning, lying on Lin Fanās lap, sleeping overnight...
Anna shook her head and spat, "Hmph, why should I sympathize with him!"
Sympathizing with an enemy is something that should never happen. She had been in the military and understood this better than anyone, but it just didnāt make sense. Thinking about Lin Fanās fate made her uncomfortable...
This feeling left her in a bit of a dilemma.
Half an hour later.
Lin Fan drove to the base of the unfinished building.
Surveying the surroundings, Lin Fan couldnāt help but laugh, this place was chosen well, even if he were killed, no one would know.
Of course, Feng Wanshan definitely wouldnāt kill him, but they certainly prepared some suffering for him.
Lin Fan sent a message to Anna, "Iām here."
Shortly after the message was sent, Anna emerged from a shadow, holding a hand over her shoulder, limping as she walked over, opened the car door, and got in.
Lin Fan glanced over to see Annaās pale face. Blood was seeping through the fingers of the hand clutching her shoulderāshe was injured!
"Youāre hurt!" Lin Fan frowned.
He coldly smiled inside. To put on a show for him, they really went all out, even using the bitter trick.
Anna said in a deep voice, "Donāt worry about it, just drive."
Lin Fan responded with an "oh," thinking now was the time to play along with her performance. If his guess was correct, theyād soon be pursued and intercepted.
Though Anna had deceived him into coming, Anna didnāt want to blow her cover like this, a strategy to kill two birds with one stone.
Lin Fan started the car and planned to leave.
After driving a short distance, lights suddenly shone from behind. A glance in the rearview mirror revealed a suspicious car trailing behind his.
Lin Fan smiled coldly inside, here they came.
Suddenly, a vehicle rushed out from ahead, blocking Lin Fanās path.
Lin Fan had no choice but to slam on the brakes, bringing the car to a halt, and the car tailing him also stopped, blocking his retreat.
Now Lin Fan was trapped front and back.
Lin Fanās face changed as he looked at Anna and exclaimed, "Whatās going on?"
Annaās expression also changed as she grimaced, "Itās Feng Wanshanās people. They must have tracked my movements. Iām sorry, Master, donāt worry, Iāll protect you."
Lin Fan found it amusing, wasnāt this the trap you set up!
