Jiang Huaiyue Arrives

Lin Fan had cash on hand. He left the residential complex, bought a blanket, and then a pot.

He also bought several packs of cigarettes, a good amount of self-heating hot pot, instant noodles, several bottles of water, and so on.

That place had no water or electricity, and he didn't know if they would occasionally supply it.

So he could only make do.

Lin Fan felt quite stifled.

How glorious he used to be.

The Border Wolf King, a martial arts genius, the object of admiration for so many people.

Now he was hiding here, like a rat in the darkness.

But even though he felt indignant and unwilling, he accepted it.

Who told him he killed the wrong person.

Even with his abilities, he wasn't afraid of the Sea Brake Group, but he was in the wrong.

His conscience wouldn't allow him to fight back.

He had mistakenly killed their son, and it was only natural for them to seek revenge.

If he was allowed to kill others but not be killed himself, what would be the difference between him and that Tang fellow, ranked third.

To avoid further conflict, he could only choose to endure temporarily and lie low.

Once the situation calmed down a bit, he would go out and find Shen Wuxiao for revenge!

After a simple meal, Lin Fan leaned back on the dilapidated sofa that was about to fall apart and lit a cigarette.

In this environment, his thoughts naturally turned to many things.

And Lin Fan's thoughts were simple: he missed Jiang Huaiyue.

A face, cool and aloof, yet carrying a faint smile, appeared in his mind. Lin Fan's lips curved into a smile as well.

However, she was on a mission, so he couldn't contact her, nor was it convenient to do so.

He didn't want Jiang Huaiyue to worry about him.

Time flew by.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

During this time, Shen Wuxiao had communicated with Lin Fan, but only through brief phone calls.

Shen Wuxiao described the situation outside in extremely exaggerated terms.

He said the Sea Brake Society was practically turning Zhonghai upside down.

He also told Lin Fan that he would have to stay there for at least another week.

Lin Fan could only accept it silently.

He knew it was all for his own good; it was better to avoid trouble. His goal was to kill Shen Wuxiao and get revenge, and he didn't want any detours.

On the same day, a woman who had traveled from afar arrived at the Dragon Court Seven Star Hotel.

She was dressed in a sleek outfit, her figure graceful and curvaceous.

Her hair was tied in a ponytail, and her steps were steady and powerful, giving her an overall crisp and capable appearance.

Upon arriving at the hotel, she went straight to the front desk.

After a quick scan, she asked the front desk staff, "Hello, excuse me, in which room is Lin Fan staying?"

The front desk staff looked up and saw the woman before them.

She was momentarily stunned.

What a beautiful woman.

Even as a woman herself, she couldn't help but be captivated by the woman's beauty.

"Hello, excuse me, in which room is Lin Fan staying?" the woman asked again.

"Huh?" The front desk staff snapped back to attention. "I'm sorry, we are not allowed to disclose our guests' room numbers."

"If you are acquainted with him, you can call him and ask him to come pick you up..."

The person who came to the hotel was Jiang Huaiyue.

Three days ago, after completing her mission and returning to her team, she learned about the major incident involving Lin Fan.

In her anger, she had also wanted to leave.

Of course, Lin Fan was discharged from the military, but her situation wasn't as severe, as the higher-ups weren't targeting her.

So, they only delayed her for two days, and on the third day, they approved her request.

Before the approval came through, Jiang Huaiyue had already had someone investigate Lin Fan's whereabouts.

She had also learned that he had checked into a Dragon Court Seven Star Hotel in Zhonghai.

As soon as she arrived in Zhonghai, she headed straight for the hotel.

Currently, revealing client information is not allowed here, but she couldn't contact Lin Fan.

It seemed Lin Fan had changed his number, and she couldn't get through at all.

Just then, Manager Xie walked out.

He had been circling the lobby and had seen the situation at the front desk.

"Hello ma'am, are you here to check in or check out? Or perhaps you need to make a complaint?"

As soon as Manager Xie arrived, the front desk staff moved aside.

Jiang Huaiyue glanced at Manager Xie, "I'm looking for someone, but you won't disclose guest information!"

Jiang Huaiyue was not someone to make unreasonable demands. Since that was their rule, she couldn't say much.

Manager Xie smiled, "The hotel indeed does not allow the disclosure of guest information. Please understand, we are protecting our guests' privacy."

Jiang Huaiyue nodded. Since they wouldn't disclose it, she would proceed with checking in.

She didn't believe she wouldn't run into Lin Fan here.

"Then I'll check in!"

"Suite or single room?" Manager Xie asked.

"Suite!"

Manager Xie nodded and immediately opened his computer to check for rooms.

Manager Xie was a very shrewd person.

He had always remembered Shen Wuxiao's instructions.

So, for the past few days, whenever a beautiful woman came to check in, he would repeat a set of lines.

"Ma'am, we have a lot of guests staying these days, it seems there are no suites available."

"Ah, wait a moment!"

As he said this, Manager Xie looked at his computer and muttered to himself, "Room 1708, ah yes, Mr. Lin Fan just checked out!"

After muttering, he looked up at Jiang Huaiyue, "Ma'am, there is a room available, you can check in!"

Manager Xie was essentially saying this for the person in front of him to hear.

If she really wanted to check in, it would prove she wasn't looking for Lin Fan.

Then she wouldn't be the person Shen Wuxiao mentioned.

At that point, Manager Xie would find an excuse to make the room available again.

But when Jiang Huaiyue heard this, she was stunned, "Who did you just say?"

Jiang Huaiyue's reaction also stunned Manager Xie.

Could it be that the person she was looking for had arrived!

"I said you can check in!" Manager Xie replied.

"No, the sentence before that, what were you muttering to yourself just now?" Jiang Huaiyue asked.

Manager Xie thought for a moment, then pretended to suddenly realize, "Oh, I was saying that a gentleman I know just checked out, so there's a suite available!"

"Lin Fan?"

Manager Xie nodded, "Yes, the one you were looking for just now, could it be him?"

Seeing that the lobby manager's every word and action followed normal procedure, with nothing out of the ordinary, Jiang Huaiyue didn't hide anything and nodded, "I am looking for him!"

Manager Xie was secretly surprised.

As expected, Young Master Shen was not wrong. There was a reason he didn't give him the target's photo.

This woman was very observant and alert.

If he had acted unnaturally just now, this woman definitely wouldn't have continued to ask.

"You're looking for him? But he's no longer staying here; he was picked up by his friends."

Manager Xie now confirmed that the woman in front of him was Shen Wuxiao's target.

Moreover, he finally understood why Young Master Shen had emphasized him and told the woman to go directly to his villa.

This woman was truly incredibly beautiful.

Her eyebrows, lightly raised, were like distant mountains. Her phoenix-like eyes and bright pupils seemed capable of soul-stealing glances.

Her delicate jade-like nose, her skin as white as snow, and a dot of red on her lips were like a solitary, proud, and enchanting plum blossom in the snow.

She was simply a fairy who had stepped out of a beautiful painting.

However, her eyes emitted only cold light, and her fair, snow-like face held no trace of a smile, as cold and biting as midwinter.

Despite her beauty, she was too cold, exuding a distant indifference that kept people a thousand miles away.

It felt as though he would say something utterly mortifying at any moment.

Listening to Manager Xie, Jiang Huaiyue also asked, "His friend? Are you sure?"

Jiang Huaiyue knew very well that Lin Fan had never even been to Zhonghai, so how could he have friends there?

Manager Xie nodded, "Of course, I'm sure. That friend of his is also an old client of mine, and he knows me well."

"Young Master Sikong!"

"When Mr. Lin checked in, Young Master Sikong was also here. I was the one who handled it, so I wouldn't get that wrong."
