Temporarily Avoiding The Sharp Edge

Lin Fan fell into thought as he listened to Shen Wuxiao.

He had indeed killed the wrong person. The other party had no grudge against him and wasn't a particularly bad person.

If he killed the wrong person, he was in the wrong, and wouldn't even have a chance to negotiate.

Both the underworld and the legitimate authorities in Zhonghai would come after him.

On top of that, there was a department specifically for managing martial artists—the Martial Arts Association!

If he were still the Border Wolf King, he would have been handed over to a military court.

But he had been discharged from the military. Now, he was just an ordinary citizen.

He absolutely could not be caught.

Shen Wuxiao was not dead yet, and his brother's revenge had yet to be avenged!

He also couldn't choose to fight head-on. If it really came to that, he wouldn't be able to explain himself even if he were in the right.

He would be completely twisted into a brutal murderer.

"Alright, Brother Sikong, I'll listen to your arrangements!"

Lin Fan trusted him completely, after all, they had been through life-and-death situations together.

If Shen Wuxiao had wanted to set him up, he wouldn't have let Lin Fan come to his residence.

If he were discovered here, it would implicate Shen Wuxiao.

Brother Sikong was trustworthy!

Shen Wuxiao watched Lin Fan, thinking to himself, "This guy truly lives up to being the Wolf King, so calm and composed!"

Shen Wuxiao nodded in response, "Okay, we'll do it immediately. I'll have someone quietly send you away, and you can use this money for safekeeping!"

"Leaving would have been the best option, but since you're unwilling to leave, this is the only way!"

Lin Fan reached out and patted Shen Wuxiao's shoulder, "Brother Sikong, meeting you is my good fortune. I'm grateful for this encounter, and I, Lin Fan, will remember this kindness!"

Shen Wuxiao smiled, "Don't say that. We're brothers. I'll have someone send you away now. I'll call to have your room at the hotel canceled, leaving no trace."

"Then I'll have someone get you a new phone card. Don't use the old one for now; we'll communicate on a single line."

"Okay!" Lin Fan nodded heavily. He had to admit, Brother Sikong handled things so properly!

He didn't stand on ceremony. He took the money and left the villa immediately, getting into the car arranged by Shen Wuxiao and driving away!

After Lin Fan left, Shen Wuxiao watched the departing car.

Then, he looked at the shoulder Lin Fan had patted!

He decisively took off his shirt and casually tossed it into the trash can!

"Lin Fan, you're in the dark right now. You seem a bit foolish, but what will you think when you find out my true identity?"

A mischievous smile played on Shen Wuxiao's handsome face. "I'm not one to shirk my responsibilities either. I'll cancel your hotel room for you!"

Shen Wuxiao poured himself a glass of red wine and stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, facing the sea.

He dialed a number, and Manager Xie from the Dragon Court Hotel answered.

"Oh my, Young Master Sikong... why are you calling? What are your instructions?"

Manager Xie was a very capable and perceptive person.

He knew that Shen Wuxiao had been interacting with Lin Fan recently, using the alias Sikong.

Therefore, no matter what, when Shen Wuxiao called, he would address him as Young Master Sikong.

This was to avoid any slip-ups.

"I have no one with me!" Shen Wuxiao said calmly.

The usually jovial Manager Xie immediately became serious upon hearing this. "Young Master, what are your orders!"

Shen Wuxiao smiled, "Cancel Lin Fan's room. Remember to record it and process it as a normal cancellation."

"When a woman comes looking for him, you'll maintain client confidentiality according to normal procedures, but you can, under my friend's name, mention Lin Fan's whereabouts!"

"Although I have her photo, I can't give it to you. The person is very shrewd, so you can't appear too deliberate."

"You're the professional, I don't need to teach you how to do this, do I?"

Manager Xie understood immediately.

This was a plan to guide someone to Shen Wuxiao's location.

"Young Master, is it the Bay Villa?" Manager Xie asked.

"Yes. If anyone comes looking, inform me in advance!"

"Yes, I guarantee I'll complete the task!" Manager Xie said with great confidence!

Shen Wuxiao thought for a moment. "Also, if the Sea Brake Society comes to the Dragon Court Hotel looking for Lin Fan, tell them to get lost!"

"Understood!" Manager Xie replied. The Sea Brake Society, given a hundred times their courage, wouldn't dare to cause trouble at Shen Wuxiao's place!

"Very good. If you do this well, your bonus this month will be an additional two million!"

Shen Wuxiao finished speaking and hung up the phone.

He didn't need to do anything now, just wait for Jiang Huaiyue to come to him.

Shen Wuxiao wasn't in a hurry to reveal Lin Fan's living location to the Sea Brake Society.

There was plenty of time, he'd play with them slowly!

He had to let Lin Fan live there for a few days first.

Turning a Wolf King into a murderer, the thought alone was amusing!

"Ding, for deeply deceiving the Destiny Protagonist, points +30000."

"For altering the general plot, points +50000."

Upon hearing the notification, Shen Wuxiao burst into laughter.

He had initially planned to seize Lin Fan's opportunities according to his destiny.

But plans couldn't keep up with changes; Lin Fan was too stubborn, not doing anything else without avenging his brother.

However, it was fine; things would still get back on track.

Once this storm passed, Lin Fan would still go out, and opportunities would still arise.

He would seize those opportunities then.

The most important thing was to seize his women and, in the end, take his kidney.

With nothing else to do, Shen Wuxiao left the Bay Villa and headed towards the Liu family villa.

Releasing some pent-up energy would be good for his mind and body.

Liu Ruyan was top-tier in terms of beauty, figure, and temperament.

She was more than enough as a tool.

Moreover, she was currently in a phase of consolidation and forbearance.

Of course, even if she exploded, it would be like a firecracker sprite, unable to create any significant waves.

She might be a calculating person.

But her so-called calculations were only within the scope of what ordinary people could see.

Facing Shen Wuxiao, she couldn't compare in terms of combat strength, nor ruthlessness. As for power, she shouldn't even try.

Once the Liu family was destroyed, it would be difficult for her to even meet a police station captain.

In Shen Wuxiao's eyes, she was already useless.

He just thought that later, when his identity was exposed and Lin Fan confronted him, Liu Ruyan might be somewhat useful.

At the very least, they would definitely cooperate, and it would be more convincing to have false information come from Liu Ruyan's mouth.

After all, who would believe that someone whose entire family was wiped out by you would help you?

Meanwhile, Lin Fan had already arrived at the old residential complex.

Everything was even more complicated than he had imagined.

This place could no longer be called a residential complex.

As the Sikong brothers had said, this was indeed a demolition project.

Because many areas had already started to be torn down.

The entire place looked like a war-torn zone.

Those who could move had already moved, and the remaining residents were either extremely poor or hadn't found new places to settle.

They were all tenants, not homeowners, so the compensation money had nothing to do with them.

Living here was free, though.

Once the demolition officially began, they would all have to leave.

But Lin Fan didn't care; in the border regions, the environment was often worse than this.

Here, he had more freedom of choice.

Lin Fan found a building that was still relatively intact and moved in with just his bags.

In the apartment next to his, there was a homeless person living there.

As soon as Lin Fan entered the apartment, he frowned at the strong stench.

He followed the source of the smell and almost threw up.

The place was full of Oli Gei.

It was definitely the homeless person next door.

With the water and electricity cut off, the homeless person had directly turned the place into a toilet.

How excessive.

He could only choose another apartment.

Fortunately, there were many apartments here, and Lin Fan quickly found one that looked relatively clean.

There was a worn-out sofa inside, which would suffice.

All he needed today was to go out and buy some daily necessities, and it would be perfectly habitable.
