“Speak up! What brings you to the capital city!”
When Xiao Yufan saw the three men, a cold glint flashed in his eyes. Although the leader was somewhat of an expert, to him, they were utterly insignificant.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. We’re just here for fun. Your people detained us here—what’s the meaning of this?”
Feeling Xiao Yufan’s gaze, the leader felt a chill run down his spine. Naturally, he couldn’t tell the truth at this moment. Denying everything gave them a chance to survive, while admitting the truth might mean they’d never leave this place alive.
“Don’t test my patience with your attitude, and don’t dare to cross my bottom line, or I have a thousand ways to make you wish you were never born!”
Xiao Yufan naturally had ways of dealing with such people. When he finished speaking, he clearly sensed the three men’s bodies tremble. They weren’t fearless—they were just pretending to be calm.
Moreover, these three were merely puppets of the Northern Financial Group, serving as scapegoats. As for the more important matters, they certainly weren’t entrusted with those. Xiao Yufan only wanted to know their plan.
“I’ll talk, I’ll talk! If I tell you, will you let me go…”
Under the pressure of such an aura, one of them finally couldn’t take it anymore. He wasn’t some tough guy—he only cared about staying alive. At worst, if he failed at this task, he’d just run as far away as possible.
That would still be better than falling into this man’s hands. In his eyes, Xiao Yufan was no different from an avenging demon…
“Do you think you’re in a position to negotiate with me? If what you say proves useful, I wouldn’t mind letting you go. But if I’m not satisfied, your fate will be the same!”
Xiao Yufan’s smile made everyone’s scalp tingle. What kind of person was he? Fan Le’s smile carried a hint of amusement—this man had indeed changed quite a bit. At the very least, he was much more domineering than before.
“We’re from the Northern Financial Group. This time we came to the capital city, we were just supposed to set a fire. Our superiors ordered us to burn down one of Solo Company’s properties…”
Ignoring the warning looks from his companions, the man honestly spilled everything. One couldn’t help but admire their audacity—daring to start a fire in the capital city? Didn’t they fear they might never leave this place alive?
“Anything else?”
“Also, after finishing this task, we were supposed to call our boss. They wanted to use this to threaten Miss Liu. As for other matters, I really don’t know anything else!”
Afraid to look directly into Xiao Yufan’s eyes, the man felt as if he’d been completely seen through. He spoke with trepidation, fearing that one wrong word might bring instant death. He had no doubt this man possessed such capability.
“Then now you can call your boss and tell him you’ve completed the task you were supposed to do…”
Xiao Yufan wasn’t particularly interested in these small fry, but he was very curious about who their so-called boss was—was this person a decision-maker within the Northern Financial Group, or merely another pawn?
“I have the boss’s number. I’ll call, I’ll call!”
Seeing that all the attention had been stolen, another man grew anxious. He hastily took out his phone and dialed his boss’s number.
Xiao Yufan smiled without speaking, merely shaking his head. However, this man’s performance greatly pleased him. At the very least, he could clearly assess the current situation and make the correct decision.
“Hey boss, we’ve finished the task you assigned us. About the money…”
“After confirming the situation, the money will definitely not be lacking for you!”
Upon hearing the man’s report, the person on the other end of the phone sounded somewhat excited. After all, wasn’t it just one woman? How hard could it be to handle her? He hadn’t even considered the authenticity of this news.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yufan also dialed Liu Hua’s number. He thought those two young ladies should have woken up by now. Recalling the girl’s wildness last night, he felt a surge of excitement coursing through his body.
“Honey, did you sneak out early in the morning? Are you telling me neither Liu Hua nor I could satisfy you last night…”
First came Dongfang Yanran’s voice—the little vixen. Xiao Yufan nearly fainted. Probably only this little vixen dared to speak to him like this. However, she was clearly wrongfully accusing him.
“Yanran, hand the phone to my wife Liu Hua. I have something important to discuss with her!”
Helplessly smiling, Xiao Yufan could do nothing about this little vixen. He’d never gained the upper hand in any conversation with her. Fortunately, this little vixen knew when to stop, or else he would surely be very embarrassed.
“Chasing new love and abandoning old!” Dongfang Yanran muttered softly before handing the phone to Liu Hua. However, she seemed to have forgotten that Liu Hua was actually the husband’s official fiancée. After all, wasn’t she the “new” one?
Liu Hua was a modest woman, especially thinking about last night’s wildness. Her beautiful face still hadn’t lost its rosy hue, as if it could drip water. Hearing Xiao Yufan call her only increased her shyness.
“Honey, why did you rush out so early in the morning? I thought you went to find Sister Yi Han and the others!”
At this moment, Liu Hua seemed more like a newlywed bride, her words filled with indescribable tenderness. A beautiful curve lifted at the corner of her mouth, though Xiao Yufan couldn’t see her alluring charm.
“Do you remember me telling you about the Northern Financial Group last night? Their people have appeared. If someone calls you later to threaten you or asks you to meet, just pretend you know nothing and agree to whatever they say!”
At this point, Xiao Yufan could only keep it brief. After this man finished calling his boss, the so-called boss would certainly contact Liu Hua. He couldn’t afford to show any cracks in their plan. He wanted to see just how many eyes this boss thought he had.
Daring to cause trouble on Anmen’s turf—didn’t they even bother to check if they had the qualifications…
Xiao Yufan just noticed that the man had already hung up the phone. A proud curve lifted at the corner of his mouth. In his eyes, these three were already useless.
“They’re your captives. Do whatever you want with them!” Shrugging his shoulders, Xiao Yufan left this mess to Fan Le. The guy had been watching from the sidelines the whole time—he should give him something to do. Hearing Xiao Yufan’s words, Fan Le looked somewhat stunned. So even lying low could get you caught in crossfire?
Well, the following matters would be much easier to handle. The Northern Financial Group’s hands had indeed stretched far, but since they reached for his head, naturally he’d have to teach them the lesson they deserved…
