Deliberate Acquaintance

Even the most righteous person would feel a little intimidated by such a scene.

Everyone had fears. That was perfectly normal.

Especially when facing such a vicious robber.

Seeing the robber running this way, a Cold Glint flashed in Lin Fan's eyes, and he was about to Make a move.

He was incredibly fast, fists clenched, intending to knock the man down with one punch.

But just as Lin Fan was about to strike, he saw a handsome young man ahead of him make the first move.

Shen Wuxiao did not use any true force. Instead, he grabbed an iron chair from the shop and viciously smashed it into the robber.

Already running at high speed, the robber was struck so hard that he spun through the air and crashed to the ground.

The robber was a tall, powerfully built man with solid physical conditioning. He rolled over and was about to get up and keep running.

Lin Fan immediately rushed forward and, in a few quick moves, pinned the robber to the ground, leaving him unable to move.

He casually seized the bag the man had stolen.

Pinned down, the robber could only rage helplessly.

He cursed nonstop, sending greetings to eighteen generations of Lin Fan's ancestors.

Threats poured from his mouth.

When the people at the scene saw that the robber had been caught, a burst of enthusiastic applause rang out.

By the time the Beautiful Women caught up, she was already panting heavily.

She Looked at Lin Fan with gratitude filling her eyes. "Thank you!"

Lin Fan smiled lightly. "It was nothing. Just a small effort."

As he spoke, he Handed over the bag.

After taking it, the Beautiful Women continued to thank him. "Thank you. If it weren't for you, I would have been in serious trouble. There are a lot of important documents inside."

"I work nearby. If you ever need help in the future, I won't hesitate to do whatever I can!"

After saying that, the Beautiful Women handed him her business card.

Seeing that she truly was a Beauty, Lin Fan accepted the card as well.

The people around them reminded her, "Beautiful Women, you should thank that handsome guy too. If he hadn't knocked the robber over with that chair earlier, he might not have been so easy to subdue!"

Hearing their reminder, the Beautiful Women Looked at Shen Wuxiao.

At once, her body trembled, and a blush surfaced on her pretty face.

She nervously walked over.

Her demeanor was vastly different from when she had met Lin Fan.

She looked shy and timid.

"Th... thank you. I have no way to repay your help today. I... I am willing to Offer Herself in Marriage..."

"Oh, no, that's not what I..."

The Beautiful Women flushed crimson, accidentally speaking the words in her heart.

But hearing it, Lin Fan felt that something was off.

Good grief, she was willing to offer herself in marriage because he was handsome. Lin Fan was not bad-looking either, so why did he only get a favor?

He felt a little defeated.

But Shen Wuxiao ignored her and merely smiled.

Soon, the patrolling law enforcement officers took the robber away.

They praised the two men for their righteous deed.

After the Beautiful Women reported the situation to the officers, she secretly Looked at Shen Wuxiao, who was buying breakfast.

In the end, she still left.

Things here returned to normal.

Lin Fan returned to his seat and resumed eating breakfast.

Shen Wuxiao bought some food as well. He deliberately sat across from Lin Fan.

Seeing that it was the handsome young man, Lin Fan smiled and nodded at Shen Wuxiao.

Overall, Lin Fan had a very good impression of him.

Someone who stepped forward for justice must have righteousness in his heart and could not be a bad person.

"Brother, you've got guts!" Lin Fan took the initiative to greet him.

Shen Wuxiao set the breakfast he had bought on the table. "When I saw injustice on the road, I drew my blade to help!"

Lin Fan nodded approvingly. "If everyone were like you, the crime rate would surely be much lower."

Shen Wuxiao merely smiled upon hearing that.

If everyone were like him, it would be the end of the world.

"You flatter me. I saw that you're quite skilled, Brother. You've trained before, haven't you?" Shen Wuxiao asked.

Lin Fan did not deny it and nodded.

But he was not about to lay all his cards on the table before a stranger.

"I practiced Sanda for a few years."

He was still very low-key.

If the other man learned that he was the Border Wolf King, a genuine martial artist and a Fifth Rank Eighth Stage Master, he would probably be shocked beyond belief.

"No wonder. Those moves were clean and decisive!"

"What should I call you?" Looking at Shen Wuxiao, Lin Fan felt that this young man possessed an extraordinary bearing.

Shen Wuxiao did not reveal his real name.

His name was simply too conspicuous.

"My compound surname is Sikong," Shen Wuxiao replied.

He was not making it up. Shen Wuxiao's mother had the compound surname Sikong, with Lan as her given name!

Using his mother's family name for an alias was perfectly reasonable.

"Hello, Brother Sikong!"

"What is your surname, Brother?"

Lin Fan clasped his fists in greeting. "My surname is Lin, and my given name is Fan."

"Lin Fan? Those with Fan in their names are usually anything but ordinary. Brother, you have an imposing presence. You must have served in the military, right?"

There was no need for Lin Fan to hide that, so he nodded. "Yes. Have you served in the military too?"

Shen Wuxiao Shook his head. "I haven't. I'm too lazy and can't endure hardship at all, but my Second Uncle's family serves in the military!"

Lin Fan found the man In front of eyes Quite Interesting.

He began chatting with Shen Wuxiao. "Is that so? Which military region, and what rank? Maybe I've seen them before!"

Lin Fan was not bragging. He was a prominent figure in the military and had met quite a few important people.

At such a young age, he was already a Colonel, surpassing 99.9 percent of people.

His rank might have been impressive, but he had earned it with his life.

But now, it had all come to nothing!

Shen Wuxiao took out a pack of cigarettes, gave one to Lin Fan, and put one between his own lips.

"They're in the Imperial Capital Military Region. As for the rank, I think the shoulder boards were green, with golden wheat stalks and three golden stars!"

"Wheat stalks, three stars... a General? And in the Imperial Capital?"

Lin Fan found it unbelievable. An Imperial Capital general was not merely born of red blood.

Even the sweat they shed was red.

The prestige behind it was terrifyingly immense!

"Yes." Shen Wuxiao smiled faintly.

Lin Fan smiled as well and picked up a soup dumpling to eat.

He only thought the other man was joking and boasting.

Generals were not cabbages. How could he casually meet someone whose relative was a general, and an Imperial Capital one at that?

Wasn't that pure nonsense?

Besides, this young man said his surname was Sikong.

That meant his Second Uncle was surely also surnamed Sikong, yet Lin Fan had never heard of any general named Sikong.

He did know that the commander of the Imperial Capital Military Region was surnamed Shen.

Still, Lin Fan understood social etiquette.

He could not expose the man to his face.

Nor was there any need to expose him. Bragging was normal.

Seeing Lin Fan eat breakfast, Shen Wuxiao opened a cup of soy milk and slowly drank it.

Later, he still had to investigate Lin Chen's killer together with Lin Fan.

There was an information gap on Lin Fan's side.

He did not know that his younger brother had forcibly crashed someone else's wedding and been beaten to death.

Therefore, he did not know that the wedding banquet at Dragon Court Hotel that day had been Shen Wuxiao's.

But this matter was not difficult to investigate.

And Shen Wuxiao had no intention of erasing any traces.

The person Lin Fan wanted to kill was Shen Wuxiao. What did that have to do with his current self?

The two sat facing each other, each eating breakfast.

Once they had nearly finished eating, Lin Fan rose to his feet.

"Brother Sikong, I'm glad to have met you. Let's meet again if there's a chance!"

Lin Fan smiled and prepared to leave.

He did not want to wait even a moment longer.

Today, he had to investigate the murderer who had killed his younger brother.

"Brother Lin, are you rushing to work?" Shen Wuxiao stood as well and asked.

Lin Fan Shook his head. "Not exactly. I just have something to take care of."

"I see!" Shen Wuxiao walked forward and pointed to his car. "Let me give you a ride. We hit it off at first sight."

"And I forgot to mention that I have some influence in Zhonghai. If there's something you need to do, you can tell me. I should be able to help!"

Seeing the Bugatti Veyron over there, Lin Fan felt that this young man was no simple person.

Anyone who could drive such a luxury car was wealthy at the very least.
