"Actually, Iām not just a courier; I have another identityāI am the boss of Mortal Group."
"I have a god-sister named Feng Ruolan; sheās the CEO of Longheng Group, known as the āFinancial Witch.ā Chen Qiangās company borrowed a lot of money from her, so in simple terms, sheās Chen Qiangās creditor."
"Because of this relationship, when my sister pressured Chen Qiang, he had no choice but to confront Wei Jiansheng, as he dared not go against my sister."
"He definitely canāt beat Wei Jiansheng, so I called him over tonight mainly to assure him."
Lin Fan disclosed the truth, having already prepared to expose his true identity. He had no other choice. To help the Wei Family through this crisis, he couldnāt continue hiding as before. Sooner or later, his identity would be exposed unless he didnāt help them.
Initially, he hid his real identity from the Wei Family because his marriage to Wei Qingxue was fake. He was merely completing system tasks, so there was no need to expose his real identity and attract unnecessary trouble.
Now, heās no longer a live-in son-in-law of the Wei Family. To be precise, to the Wei Family, heās an outsider, and as an outsider, thereās nothing more to hide.
Upon hearing Lin Fanās words, Li Xueyan and Wei Qingxue were stunned.
Then...
The mother and daughter burst into laughter, laughing so hard they couldnāt stop, holding their heads as they laughed.
"Hahaha... Little Fan, youāre too funny, Iām laughing until tears come out," Li Xueyan said while wiping tears from her eyes.
Clearly, the mother and daughter didnāt believe Lin Fan at all and just thought he was joking.
Wei Qingxue, after laughing for a while, said seriously, "Lin Fan, seriously, stop joking, okay!"
Lin Fan was a bit speechless; what he said was true, but they didnāt believe him.
Since they didnāt believe it, he casually made something up, "Alright... You may not believe this, but the company Iām working for now is one of Chen Qiangās major clients. Thatās why I know Chen Qiang. Isnāt it a coincidence? Today, when I heard Qingxue mention it, I specially invited him over for dinner to try and persuade him. The reason he changed his mind to support Elder Wei is simply due to two reasons: Elder Wei has been generous to him, and although he still has a conscience, secondly, as a representative of his major client, Iāve given him the resolve to oppose Wei Jiansheng."
Lin Fan knew he was making up stories, not even convincing himself.
But then Li Xueyan nodded repeatedly, "So thatās it, I knew Little Fan had potential. Since you stopped being a courier, youāve become more outstanding. Thanks to you, this time! The old man must be very happy knowing this!"
Wei Qingxue said seriously, "Yes, Lin Fan, thank you so much this time."
She initially just wanted to vent to Lin Fan, not expecting him to actually help. After hearing Lin Fanās explanation, she also thought Lin Fan was very impressive, even though something seemed off, but she couldnāt pinpoint what.
Lin Fan was a bit speechless; when he told the truth, they thought he was joking, but when he made something up, they believed him without a doubt?
It seems that being the richest man in Yun City was too shocking, and they couldnāt believe it.
Indeed, in their minds, he was just a courier a while ago. The leap from courier to Yun Cityās richest man was too big. No wonder they didnāt believe him at all, even though he explained everything so reasonably, they didnāt believe a bit of it.
Then, Wei Qingxue didnāt dwell on this matter and said, "Thanks to Lin Fan, Chen Qiang is on our side. Unfortunately, Chen Qiang only has 5% of the shares. Including what we have, thatās 35%. Even without Chen Qiang, Wei Jianshengās side still holds 40%āweāre still short."
At this point, Wei Qingxue frowned. On their side and Wei Jianshengās side, thereās a 5% gap!
Li Xueyan said, "Unless we can persuade another major shareholder, weāll still lose."
Wei Qingxue said, "Thatās unlikely. Li Yiming only cares about money, and we canāt compete with Wei Jiansheng in that area. As for the Ye Brothers, they were originally close friends of Grandpa, having ties with our Wei Family, but even they betrayed Grandpa. Not surprising though, since Wei Dagang is still Grandpaās own son, yet he also betrayed him!"
Wei Qingxue smiled bitterly. Being betrayed by oneās own son, no wonder Grandpa fell ill with anger.
Li Xueyan said, "Itās fortunate Chen Qiang knows Little Fan, but as for these other major shareholders, Little Fan probably canāt handle them either. Sigh, are we really going to lose to Wei Jiansheng?"
Lin Fan laughed, "Not necessarily. As the saying goes, ājust when there seems to be no way out, thereās another village amidst the shading willows...ā"
Li Xueyan was stunned. How come Lin Fanās verse sounded so similar to the fortune she got at the temple today? Could it just be a coincidence?
Lin Fan, having eaten enough, put down his chopsticks and patted his stomach, contentedly saying, "This was so delicious. Itās been a long time since Iāve eaten so well. Qingxue, I want to visit the Elder tomorrow; want to come with me?"
Wei Qingxue said, "Okay."
Lin Fan then stood, "Then Iāll head back first. When father-in-law comes back, send my regards."
Lin Fanās former father-in-law, Wei Dazong, is Elder Weiās second son. After Wei Dagang betrayed Elder Wei, leaving him ill, his second son hurried to take care of himāitās his time to show respect.
Li Xueyan said, "Itās so late, why bother going back? Arenāt you visiting the Elder tomorrow? Little Fan, just sleep here tonight. Xiaoxue, donāt you agree?"
Li Xueyan kept signaling to Wei Qingxue.
Wei Qingxue blushed, "But... where would Lin Fan sleep tonight?"
Li Xueyan said, "Silly girl, do you even need to ask? Of course, heāll sleep with you. Why are you blushing? Werenāt you husband and wife before? Havenāt you seen everything already? Itās settled then!"
Wei Qingxueās face turned crimson down to her neck.
Although she and Lin Fan were once married, they hadnāt seen anything of each other. They were fake, and even when sharing the same room, she slept in the bed, and Lin Fan slept on the floor.
Li Xueyan was eager for something to happen between them, to rekindle their old feelings. Locking them in the same room seemed like a good idea.
Why would Lin Fan mind? Sharing a room with a beautiful woman, what normal man would mind?
In fact, Wei Qingxue didnāt mind...
Wei Qingxue bit her lip, "Lin Fan, how about..."
Ring, ring, ring...
At that moment, Lin Fanās phone rang.
Seeing the caller, Lin Fan didnāt have time to talk to the mother and daughter, "Mom, I really canāt stay; somethingās come up. Iāll go now, see you tomorrow."
And hurriedly walked out.
Li Xueyan murmured in disappointment, "That kid, how could he have something come up? What a missed opportunity!"
Wei Qingxueās eyes involuntarily showed a hint of resentment...
After leaving the Wei household, Lin Fan answered the call. It was from Li Zhen, currently the underground boss of Yun City.
"Mr. Lin, Iāve found the Ye Brothers..."
