Killed the wrong person??

Lin Fan quickly answered the call.

"Hello, Sikong brother, is that you?"

"It's me," Shen Wuxiao feigned nervousness. "Do you have a TV over there? Quickly turn it on and watch the Zhonghai news!"

Lin Fan's heart sank. The fact that the other party wanted him to watch the news meant they had also seen the reports.

Could it be that he had actually killed the wrong person?

"I'm watching it now. The report says the deceased was the Young Master of the Sea Brake Group!"

Shen Wuxiao quickly said, "I'm not clear about this matter either. Brother Lin Fan, do you have time? Why don't we meet in person?"

Shen Wuxiao proposed his idea.

Lin Fan thought about it and still felt that meeting in person was more appropriate.

"Okay, I'll head over to your place now!"

Lin Fan got up immediately, hung up the phone, and left the room.

Damn it, he really hoped he hadn't wasted so much effort, endured a gunshot, and killed the wrong person.

He, Lin Fan, hadn't stained his hands with the blood of innocent people yet.

Regardless of who this so-called Young Master of the Sea Brake Group was, he had no enmity with Lin Fan.

If he had killed the wrong person, it would be troublesome.

But thinking of the young master who was shouting and killing last night, he probably wasn't a good person either. If he had really killed the wrong person, it would be eliminating a scourge for the people.

Lin Fan left the hotel, hailed a taxi, and familiarized himself with the route to Shen Wuxiao's Bay Villa.

As soon as he arrived, he could see Shen Wuxiao waiting by the entrance from afar.

The two met without greeting and immediately entered the villa.

Shen Wuxiao was still acting the same way, poking his head out to see if there were any tails, acting like a secret agent.

After entering the villa and going to the sofa, Shen Wuxiao continued his act.

"Brother Lin Fan, you really killed the Young Master of the Sea Brake Society yesterday!"

"The Sea Brake Society, not the Sea Brake Group?"

Shen Wuxiao sighed, "The Sea Brake Group is just the public-facing name. Those who walk the dark path naturally need a clean identity. The Sea Brake Society is the original body."

"The Sea Brake Society is one of the three major underground forces in Zhonghai. It's incredibly vast. The underworld in Zhonghai is divided into three parts, and the Sea Brake Society is one of them!"

Lin Fan shook his head, "I don't know. I investigated based on the information you gave me and actually found Villa Number Nineteen."

"When I broke in, they were already on guard. As I was escaping, that person was cursing from above and called himself 'This Young Master.' I immediately concluded that it was Shen Wuxiao."

"I did kill him!"

Shen Wuxiao secretly chuckled. Even the Border Wolf King had moments of misjudgment.

However, it was understandable. Lin Fan had been led into a trap by him.

Being new to the area, he had no foundation and was completely in the dark, not even having time to cultivate dedicated intelligence personnel.

He was already desperate for revenge for his brother. After hearing his false intelligence, he had even refined it further, so he naturally believed it.

"It's over, it's all over. Brother Lin Fan, you were too impulsive!"

"I only said I saw Shen Wuxiao over there, and I didn't confirm that he was living there. How could you be so impulsive?"

"Yesterday, I thought you just broke in, got discovered, and ran. I never imagined you would kill someone."

"This is also my fault. If I hadn't seen the news, I would have thought Shen Wuxiao lived there too!"

Shen Wuxiao covered his head, looking very helpless.

Lin Fan was stunned. After thinking carefully, it was indeed true.

Sikong brother had never definitively said that Shen Wuxiao lived there. He had only said he saw a person with a grand demeanor coming out of the villa and had asked a friend about it.

His friend knew what Shen Wuxiao looked like, and that's how he told Lin Fan that the person who came out was Shen Wuxiao.

That was all.

He had never explicitly stated that Shen Wuxiao resided there. What if Shen Wuxiao was going to meet that Young Master of the Sea Brake Society?

It was normal for people in their circles to meet to discuss matters or negotiate collaborations.

"The person is already dead, and it's too late now!" Lin Fan looked at Shen Wuxiao. "Sikong brother, what kind of person was the Young Master of the Sea Brake Group?"

"Was he also arrogant and overbearing, oppressing the good, and responsible for many deaths?"

Shen Wuxiao understood immediately after hearing this.

This Lin Fan knew he had killed the wrong person and was looking for a reason to ease his conscience.

If Shen Wuxiao said the other party was utterly wicked, then Lin Fan would feel at ease, as in his eyes, it would be eliminating a scourge for the people.

Protagonists, it was understandable. They were all noble and wouldn't stain their hands with the blood of innocents!

But Shen Wuxiao was not going to grant his wish.

"That Young Master of the Sea Brake Group isn't that kind of person. He frequently does charity work, building numerous orphanages and donating to many mountainous regions."

"His personality is a bit overbearing, but he's never oppressed ordinary people."

"At their level, people actually care about their status. They wouldn't deign to do anything that lowers their standing; bullying common folk is something for thugs and hooligans!"

Shen Wuxiao wasn't entirely lying. The Young Master of the Sea Brake Group indeed hadn't bullied ordinary people.

He was the general manager of the Sea Brake Group, and at most, his business tactics were a bit dirty. However, those kinds of tactics were beyond the reach of ordinary people.

If someone could compete with the Sea Brake Group in business, they wouldn't be ordinary folk either; they'd have some backing.

As for the donations, it was purely to boost stock prices and build a public image.

It was just a basic tactic for businessmen.

After hearing Shen Wuxiao finish, Lin Fan's heart, which had been hanging by a thread, finally gave up!

He had truly killed an innocent person.

His hands were stained with innocent blood.

Shen Wuxiao continued, "Brother Lin Fan, now is not the time to discuss this. The Young Master of the Sea Brake Society is dead, so the Sea Brake Society will definitely retaliate in full force."

"Zhonghai is about to change. Did you wear a mask when you went yesterday? Weren't you seen?"

Lin Fan was somewhat speechless. Wear a mask for what?

He acted openly and honestly. Revenge was revenge; why pretend to be mysterious?

"I didn't wear a mask!"

"Ah?" Shen Wuxiao feigned surprise. "Then when you broke in, your face shouldn't have been seen, and you just ran out, right?"

Lin Fan gave another wry smile. "At least dozens of people saw my face!"

"Then it's over!" Shen Wuxiao said, running into the room.

Before long, he emerged with two thick stacks of cash in his hands.

As soon as he came out, he shoved them into Lin Fan's hands. "Brother Lin Fan, you can't stay here any longer. You should go into hiding first!"

"This money is for emergencies. If you run out, contact me, and I'll have someone send more!"

Seeing this, Lin Fan was quite moved.

This Brother Sikong was someone he could rely on.

Knowing he had caused big trouble, he didn't rush to distance himself but even helped him escape.

But who was Lin Fan? How could he possibly flee?

Moreover, he hadn't killed the real Shen Wuxiao yet, so he would absolutely not leave Zhonghai.

"Brother Sikong, I, Lin, am not someone who fears trouble. There's no need for this!" Lin Fan said firmly and directly.

"Brother Lin Fan, listen to me first!" Shen Wuxiao said earnestly. "I know you have your own pride, but you have to consider the situation. You killed the wrong person, so you're in the wrong no matter how you put it."

"If you absolutely refuse to leave, you should at least lay low for a while."

"I have an old residential complex under my name in the old district. It's already slated for demolition, so no one will pay too much attention."

"The residents there should have moved out. Those who remain are mostly miscellaneous people. You can find a room there and stay for a while. I'll visit you from time to time!"

Although he was asking Lin Fan to hide, the environment couldn't be good.

That old residential complex was similar to a "pig cage" city, a mix of all sorts of people. Not to mention the frequent power and water outages, it was also very dirty and run-down.

Even though Lin Fan could adapt, he definitely wouldn't be comfortable living there!

He had to make Lin Fan hide for a while.

Damn it, if Lin Fan didn't hide, it would mess things up.

He had received news from the border that Jiang Huaiyue had returned.

Her return meant she knew Lin Fan had left, so there was a high probability she would come looking for him directly.

If Lin Fan didn't hide, how could he sleep with the woman Lin Fan liked!

By the time Lin Fan returned, Jiang Huaiyue would probably be close to being pregnant!
