Currently, Lin Fan has several residences. The most expensive one is Yunding Manor located at Half Mountain. In addition, Lin Fan owns an entire building of Tangchen Yipin; he rents out other floors and leaves the top floor for himself.
Aside from these, Lin Fan also rents a small apartment in the urban village.
Lin Fan gave these three options to Loli to choose from. No matter which one Loli picked, Lin Fan would happily take her there.
Loli thought for a moment and then asked Lin Fan a question: "Which one is closest?"
So, they ended up at the apartment in the urban village.
That night, no one in the apartment building slept well. Itâs understandable, the walls in the urban village arenât great at soundproofing...
The next morning.
Loli woke up in Lin Fanâs arms. She opened her eyes to the sight of the man still deeply asleep beside her, a smile of happiness spread across her face. She felt that in her life, she had never been as happy as she was now; this might be her happiest moment.
She wished these moments could stay, linger indefinitely.
"Youâre awake, not sleeping a little more?"
Lin Fan opened his eyes at this moment, looked down at the beauty in his arms, the beauty who had brought him endless joy last night.
"No, I have to rush back to the station soon," Loli said. "You can keep sleeping, donât worry about me, I just want to watch you quietly for a while longer."
Lin Fan chuckled, "I am really a bit tired, need more rest from last night..."
Loli blushed instantly, "There you go again, you brute!"
Seeing her rosy cheeks, Lin Fan felt himself starting to lose control: "Isnât that because of you, you charming little seductress."
Meeting Lin Fanâs gaze, Loli giggled nervously before quickly getting up and off the bedâshe couldnât let Lin Fan have his way with her or sheâd have no strength left to go to work later!
"Remember thereâs a soccer match this afternoon, if youâre free, accompany me to watch it," Loli reminded Lin Fan while getting dressed.
Lin Fan said, "Got it. Call me beforehand; Iâll come over if Iâm free."
Lin Fan leaned against the headboard, using his hand as a pillow, admiring the beauty before him until she was fully dressed and left the apartment.
Only then did Lin Fan roll over and lay back down.
After a while, Lin Fan suddenly frowned and picked up his phone for a look. Normally, the system should have checked in by now, but today it was silent.
Ever since the system developed a bug, it would automatically check in almost daily, dispensing cash rewards of 5 million.
This had already become routine. Watching the cash in the bank card grow, Lin Fan found it somewhat bothersome as there was so much money, he didnât know how to spend it well.
He hoped the system would recover quickly and resume delivering awesome rewards like before.
Fortunately, the system didnât only send cash. Occasionally, thereâd be surprises.
The systemâs late check-in today usually meant a special situation. Lin Fan couldnât help but feel excited; it seemed todayâs reward might be a surprise!
Curious about what todayâs reward would be.
Not long after, Lin Fan lost the feeling of sleepiness and got out of bed.
He opened his phone to check the news and found that overnight, Hua Yiwuâs matter had stirred up quite a storm online.
One term had gone viral: "Choosing Concubines."
This was mentioned by Ms. Zhu in her post, claiming that Hua Yiwu used parties as a guise to meet with females, essentially scouting targets, much like emperors choosing concubines in ancient times. Those whom Hua Yiwu fancied would be intoxicated and possessed.
Ms. Zhuâs accusation was explosive online as no one had ever accused Hua Yiwu in this manner before.
Previously, the most that would happen was a scandal with Hua Yiwu, which would then be suppressed by his strong PR efforts.
This time, itâs so sensational that it couldnât be contained, becoming widely known.
What the public doesnât know is that Ms. Zhuâs post had Lin Fanâs involvement; Lin Fan got Du Tao to assist Ms. Zhu secretly, even hiring a professional writer to help Ms. Zhu if necessary.
Hua Yiwu and his company were still silent, perhaps contemplating how to handle the PR.
Hua Yiwuâs fandom had already started defending him instinctively, using the usual tactics, with fans striving to control comments and smear Ms. Zhuâs reputation, attempting to clear Hua Yiwuâs name.
One must admit, Hua Yiwuâs fans are quite formidable, currently clashing with netizens ridiculing Hua Yiwu in a fierce, unresolved battle.
Lin Fan anticipated that Hua Yiwuâs PR team would step in next, likely issuing some legal warning.
Considering Ms. Zhuâs weak standing, itâs probably difficult for her to confront the opposing formidable team head-on.
Lin Fan wasnât worried because he had entrusted this matter to Du Tao, confident that Du Tao would manage it well. Anyway, the bigger the stir, the better. Lin Fan was still waiting for Loliâs investigation; when the time was ripe, theyâd hammer Hua Yiwu down.
Lin Fan then left the apartment to deal with company affairs. As the head of Mortal Group, Lin Fan had quite a few matters to attend to.
He got busy and the afternoon arrived.
Lin Fan received a call from Loli.
"Are you free now?" Loli asked.
Lin Fan replied, "Yeah, Iâm heading over to find you now."
Lin Fan left the company, driving the Rolls-Royce to pick up Loli.
As the car reached a street sidewalk, he suddenly noticed some commotion ahead. Looking closely, he saw a group of young people surrounding and beating up a middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man looked weathered and desolate, appearing older than his fifty-something age. His hair was grayed, his body was filthy, and most miserably, he had a leg disability.
"Stop, stop! I beg you, stop!" The middle-aged man held his head begging loudly, his voice filled with desolation.
"You cripple, donât watch where youâre going, see who youâve messed with!" One of the young men shouted arrogantly from the group.
Apparently, this middle-aged man had accidentally provoked the young men while walking and got beaten as a result.
Lin Fan couldnât stand it anymore, exited the car.
"Hey, thatâs enough," Lin Fan said calmly, trying to stop the young men.
The young men turned their heads to look at Lin Fan, seeing him alone, and instantly grew cocky.
"Who the heck are you, mind your own business!"
"Get lost, stop pretending to be a hero, weâre not the ones you can mess with!"
"I told you to scram, didnât you hear?"
The group of young men threatened Lin Fan menacingly.
Lin Fan chuckled and said, "Donât put on airs in front of me. Who among you is the leader, step out."
A youth with yellow hair stepped forward: "Whatâs it, kid, you want to meddle? Do you even know who he is? You think you can play hero? Let me tell you, this cripple isnât worth it!"
Lin Fan replied with a sound: "You seem to know him?"
The yellow-haired youth sneered: "Who doesnât know him? Despite being a nobody now, he used to be a famous soccer star!"
Lin Fan grew a bit curious, glancing at the middle-aged man: "Soccer star?"
