Thinking this, Shen Wuxiao picked up his phone and dialed the number labeled "Scam Call."

Lin Fan had called him several times earlier. He had been having dinner with Jiang Huaiyue, so he definitely would not have called back.

Now was the perfect time to return the call.

The call went through, and the other side answered before long.

"Brother Sikong, are you busy?"

Shen Wuxiao gave a cold smile. "Brother Lin Fan, I didn't see your calls earlier."

"I've been having people investigate for information. The Sea Brake Society has been searching for you like they've gone mad these past few days. I'm really not at ease."

"And I heard that the Sea Brake Society's leader seems to want to contact overseas Bounty Hunters to capture you. You absolutely must not show yourself lightly."

Hearing Shen Wuxiao's words, Lin Fan merely smiled faintly. "Don't worry. Even if they come, they won't be leaving."

"Though I'm in the wrong and it wouldn't be proper for me to do anything to the Sea Brake Society, if they bully people too far, then I won't need to endure it."

"I don't feel any burden killing Bounty Hunters."

Lin Fan also felt warmth in his heart. Brother Sikong had been tirelessly running around for his affairs all this time. This favor was heavy indeed!

Shen Wuxiao continued, "I know Brother Lin Fan is capable, but less trouble is better than more."

"If hiding can avoid it for now, then avoid it as much as possible. Your goal isn't to engage in meaningless bloody battles."

Lin Fan froze. That was indeed true.

His goal was to kill Shen Wuxiao and avenge his younger brother.

If he completely went up against the Sea Brake Society, it would become another endless confrontation.

Even if he could win, there would certainly be no shortage of trivial matters, and it would delay him for even longer.

That would go against his original intention.

Brother Sikong was right. If it could be avoided, then avoid it. Once the heat died down, he would reappear and directly begin investigating Shen Wuxiao.

As long as revenge was settled, then whatever the Sea Brake Society wanted to do afterward, he would accompany them to the end.

Having sorted out the priorities, Lin Fan replied, "I understand. I won't act rashly during this period."

"It's just hard work for you, helping me all day long—gathering intelligence and smoothing over connections."

Shen Wuxiao put on a relaxed smile. "Why are you being so distant? We're comrades who have been through life and death together."

"And have you forgotten? I'm a Young Master who idles away his days anyway. I have plenty of time, so you don't need to feel indebted."

"Alright, then I won't say such polite things anymore!" Lin Fan laughed heartily.

"That's more like it. Brother Lin Fan, I'll stop here—I'm driving. Get some rest early!"

After hanging up, Shen Wuxiao gave a disdainful click of his tongue.

He dialed another subordinate, switched on speakerphone, and tossed the phone onto the passenger seat.

Then he rolled down the window and lit a cigarette.

The call connected again!

"Young Master!" A voice sounded from the phone.

"Old Cat, spread the news. Tell the Sea Brake Society's people to search the western outskirts of Zhonghai, especially abandoned places. Search thoroughly!"

"Yes, Young Master!"

The call ended.

Shen Wuxiao looked ahead, took a drag of his cigarette, and slowly exhaled.

Having the Sea Brake Society search over there was also to let Lin Fan better see the intensity of the outside search.

Relying on Lin Fan's skills, he would absolutely not be found.

He only needed to let him know how grim the situation outside was now.

Lin Fan was a Fifth Rank, Eighth Stage master. His fighting strength was beyond doubt.

If those Kala Mi from the Sea Brake Society clashed with him, they would simply be delivering themselves to death. There was no need for them to make a move.

Once those people found Bounty Hunters, he would sell Lin Fan's location.

Let them have a good fight!

Spend other people's money, let other people draw hatred, and get his own work done.

As long as he got involved, there would be point rewards. What a delight.

Shen Wuxiao's residence had been given to Jiang Huaiyue.

He definitely would not be returning tonight, or all his previous efforts would go down the drain.

But he could not be bothered to go to a hotel either.

So Shen Wuxiao drove directly toward the Liu Family Villa, toward Liu Ruyan.

There were few cars at night, and when Shen Wuxiao drove, things like traffic lights simply did not exist in his eyes.

Of course, achieving that required not only superb skill, but also a deep enough background.

If ordinary people dared to drive like this, the law could only punish them for a while. Afterward, they would basically only go out at noon, because sooner or later, they would die.

With an unobstructed journey, he arrived outside the Liu Family Villa in less than twenty minutes.

It was not particularly late, and the Liu Family Villa was still brightly lit.

Liu Ruyan had not gone to rest either. She was looking through the news on her phone.

Since returning, she had been closely following events in Zhonghai.

She had also been keeping an eye on Lin Fan.

But it left her somewhat disappointed.

That foolish blockhead Lin Fan had actually been stupid enough to kill someone from a major local power.

He had even killed their Young Master.

Now that he was wanted, even if she wanted to seek cooperation with him, she had no opportunity.

But this was only temporary.

She would still seek cooperation with Lin Fan.

After all, Liu Ruyan had witnessed his combat strength.

Being able to escape from the Sea Brake Society's tight encirclement and even kill their Young Master was quite a capability.

Her mind was agile enough, and being by Shen Wuxiao's side meant she could grasp firsthand information.

The other party's combat strength was high. The two of them complemented each other, so there would always be a chance to take Shen Wuxiao on.

Just as she was thinking this, Liu Ruyan noticed a vehicle stopping outside the villa.

The moment she saw the car, Liu Ruyan's heart skipped a beat, and she slowly rose to her feet.

Shen Wuxiao had come.

He had only come twice over the past few days, yet every time he came, he tormented her badly enough.

She had nearly fainted.

Now he had come again. There was no need to say more.

Liu Ruyan picked up a pair of indoor Slippers, walked to the door, and placed them on the floor.

Then she stood at the entrance and waited.

A while later, the door opened.

Shen Wuxiao's handsome face appeared before her.

A faint smile rested on his face, and he carried an air of carefree cynicism.

"Oh, not bad!"

Shen Wuxiao remarked as he changed into the shoes.

Then he opened his arms toward Liu Ruyan.

Liu Ruyan froze, then walked behind Shen Wuxiao and helped him take off his coat.

Liu Ruyan was wearing a loose home dress.

Her beautiful hair hung freely around her shoulders, giving her a touch of leisure while retaining her mature charm.

That pretty face with almost no expression instead stirred an even stronger desire to conquer her.

After taking off his coat, Shen Wuxiao pulled Liu Ruyan into his arms.

He directly pinned her against the villa door and fiercely kissed her vivid red lips.

"Mm..."

Liu Ruyan gave a soft moan, but she still relaxed her body and responded to Shen Wuxiao's domineering kiss.

Shen Wuxiao was not polite either. One hand...!

Only after a long while did Shen Wuxiao move his lips away, though he still kept Liu Ruyan pinned by the door.

"You don't seem very interested. What, are you in a bad mood?" Shen Wuxiao asked.

Liu Ruyan was on the verge of breaking down.

How could she possibly be interested when facing the enemy who had killed her entire family?

But she merely shook her head lightly.

Shen Wuxiao changed faces quickly.

After their intimacy, he directly shoved her away and headed inside instead.

Having been thrown aside, Liu Ruyan felt sorrowful and angry, while also inexplicably experiencing a faint sense of loss.

Shen Wuxiao understood psychological warfare.

When he reached the living room, he did not sit on the sofa.

Instead, he walked over to the Liu Family's spirit tablets and Mourning Portraits, lit several sticks of incense.

Then, with a casual wave, he inserted them!

How laughable—a murderer offering sacrifices to the dead before the dead's family!
