The fat man suddenly appeared from somewhere and shared half of the breakfast he had bought with Jiang Fan.
" Brother Fan, have you heard? Li Zhichao didn't go home all night. I heard the entire Li Family was out on the scene, but they couldn't find a single clue."
Jiang Fan nodded casually. "I heard it as soon as I entered the school gate."
As she spoke, she took a meat bun out of the plastic bag and started eating it. "It smells delicious. Where did you buy it?"
"It's the steamed bun shop right next to the school, isn't it delicious? I ate at every shop this morning, and this one was the best. I bought it especially for you."
Thanks.
"Look at our relationship, saying thank you would be too formal."
"And then?" Jiang Fan asked casually, chewing on a steamed bun.
"I also heard that a fight broke out near the demolished housing area on Clear Creek Road; the walls and floors are covered with shocking marks."
" Clear Creek Road? That's near our school, not too far."
"Yes, so—" The fat man paused slightly, staring intently at Jiang Fan, "Some people suspect you're involved."
Jiang Fan feigned understanding, "No wonder so many people were glancing at me as I walked along; they suspected I was involved in this whole affair. It makes sense, given how much trouble I've caused with Li Zhichao Yuanwu; we have a deep-seated grudge, so it's understandable that they suspect me."
The fat man stared at Jiang Fan. To be honest, after learning about Li Zhichao's accident, his first suspect was Jiang Fan. But now, looking at Jiang Fan, he seemed completely uninvolved, even acting like a bystander.
It seems he was overthinking things.
That's true. Although Brother Fan is indeed very strong, according to the information he found out, Li Zhichao was accompanied by two Third Rank Martial Artist at the time.
Not only that, he also found out that the Li Family had Martial Artist at the Early-Stage Fourth Rank, so he went after him.
Even if Brother Fan is incredibly powerful, he couldn't possibly kill Martial Artist at the Early-Stage Fourth Rank, could he?
" Jiang Fan!" A sudden shout came from behind, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Jiang Fan turned around in confusion and saw a group of five or six people walking towards him menacingly, with the middle-aged man in the lead looking at him with particularly fierce eyes.
Without needing anyone to introduce him, Jiang Fan immediately guessed the middle-aged man's identity.
That face, which bore a five or six-point resemblance to Li Zhichao, was undoubtedly his father.
"It's Elder Li Family!"
Someone in the crowd shouted, and then everyone looked at Jiang Fan with curious eyes.
Jiang Fan remained calm, slowly chewing his bun, watching Li Renfeng walk towards him, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.
"You need something? Speak quickly, I'm very busy, I still need to cultivate."
As the eldest son of the Li Family, Li Renfeng was always met with awe wherever he went. Jiang Fan's complete disregard for him really annoyed him.
"Did you know that Li Zhichao didn't come home all night?"
Jiang Fan scoffed, "I'm not his father, what business is it of mine if he doesn't come home one night?"
These words caused an uproar in the audience.
He thought to himself, "Jiang Fan is too brave! How dare he speak to the eldest son of the Li Family like that?"
Jiang Fan! Watch your tone!
Li Renfeng clenched his fists, looking ready to fight at any moment.
"Attitude? What's wrong with my attitude? On my first day at Yuanwu, I was told that Yuanwu's school spirit is one of fierce courage and fearlessness. As a Yuanwu, one must have a heart that is not afraid of death, and even more so, the courage to defy authority."
You stormed into Yuanwu to cause me trouble, isn't it just because your Li Family is powerful and influential that you bully others?
As a peerless genius who crushed all other talents to become the top scorer in the martial arts exam, and a role model of our time, how could I possibly bow down to you!
If that were the case, wouldn't it be a disgrace to our generation of Martial Artist? A disgrace to the entire Yuanwu School of teachers and students!
These words resonated with many people around them. Originally, everyone was just watching the show, but Jiang Fan elevated it to the level of the entire school's teachers and students. Collective honor is no joke, so they all cast unfriendly glances at Li Renfeng and his group.
Feeling the gazes of everyone, Li Renfeng wished he could tear Jiang Fan's eloquent mouth apart.
Thinking of the purpose of his trip, Li Renfeng suppressed his raging anger.
"Don't give me that nonsense. I'm asking you, what does my son's disappearance have to do with you?"
"No," Jiang Fan replied decisively.
Li Renfeng narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "You dare to swear? Swear on your family."
"Ha!" Jiang Fan was amused.
This father and son are truly a father and son; they always bring up family matters.
At this moment, Jiang Fan appeared to be smiling, but his eyes were as cold as ice that had never melted.
Since God has given him a Good Person System, he will play the good person to the end and one day send you to see your son.
"What? You're scared? Or are you feeling guilty?"
Seeing that Jiang Fan dared not swear an oath, Li Renfeng's suspicions deepened, and the killing intent in his eyes grew stronger.
"That's ridiculous! What does your son's disappearance have to do with me? Just because I had a grudge against him? You should know your son has always been arrogant and domineering, he's bullied and offended countless people, there are probably enough people to fill a train to kill him."
The more Jiang Fan spoke, the stronger the murderous intent in Li Renfeng's eyes became.
"Besides, I'm a prodigy of our time, how could I possibly take trash like Li Zhichao seriously?"
"You're asking for it!"
Li Renfeng was completely enraged, and his aura suddenly surged to its peak.
The strength of the Late-Stage Fourth Rank expert left many students pale and drenched in sweat.
Standing at the very center, Jiang Fan felt as if his internal organs were about to burst open at any moment.
That's enough.
As an aged voice rang out, the oppressive aura vanished instantly.
At the same time, Li Renfeng was shaken and staggered backward, almost falling to the ground.
Then, he looked ahead in horror. The person who came was none other than Yuanwu's principal.
Yuanwu Wu stood with his hands behind his back, seemingly moving slowly, but in the blink of an eye he appeared in front of Li Renfeng.
"You dare to lay a hand on our students in Yuanwu? Li Family brat, who gave you the guts? Even if your grandfather were here, he'd still have to abide by Yuanwu's rules."
Li Renfeng had been scolded, didn't dare to breathe loudly, but thinking of his son, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue speaking.
" Principal Lu, I didn't mean to offend you, but my son is also a student of Yuanwu, and he's gone missing. I suspect Jiang Fan is behind it."
Yuanwu Lu Chengjun of Yuanwu School snorted coldly.
"Don't think I know nothing. Yesterday, Li Zhichao summoned two Third Rank experts from the Li Family, and later a Early-Stage Fourth Rank expert accompanied them. All four of them disappeared without a trace. According to you, Jiang Fan, a mere Middle-Stage Second-Rank Martial Artist, could have killed four people silently at the same time? I doubt you'd believe that."
