Chapter 158 Picking up the leaks
Lin Fan speculated in his mind and quickly made a decision. He decided to go to the Wang family in person to test Mr. Wang's attitude and see if he still recognized the engagement.
If he admits it, all problems will be solved; if he doesn't admit it, he will find a way to deal with this old guy!
Just as he was thinking, "Brother Fan!" Shen Wei walked in from outside, "Shopkeeper Chen said his friend has returned and asked when we are free to go over."
"I'm free now!" Lin Fan perked up upon hearing this and immediately responded, "Let your bodyguard stay to protect Zhao Ziqing. We'll set off now."
"Okay!" Shen Wei responded and turned to make arrangements. To ensure Zhao Ziqing's safety, Lin Fan asked Shen Wei to keep the bodyguards, but he still felt it was not safe enough.
So he called Lu Guanglai again and asked law enforcement officers to come to the Zhao company to protect Zhao Ziqing. Lu Guanglai had no objection to this and was willing to provide any form of protection as long as Zhao Ziqing was safe and sound.
After all, if something like yesterday happened again, the entire city of Ancheng would be in turmoil. Forget sending someone to protect him, even if he came in person, he would be happy. After the law enforcement officers were deployed, Lin Fan called Zhao Ziqing to ask for leave and hurriedly left the company.
"Brother Fan, your position in the family is so delicate?" Shen Wei joked.
"What do you know? Such a big thing happened yesterday, how could she not worry about me? Why would I need to ask for leave on normal days?" Lin Fan retorted somewhat unhappily.
"I'm showing my love and respect for her."
"Yes, yes, Brother Fan is right." Shen Wei agreed hurriedly.
When Zhao Ziqing heard that Lin Fan was going to investigate the matter of the five-colored jade, she naturally did not stop him. Instead, she encouraged him to go about his business without worrying about her.
"Listen, how considerate." Lin Fan felt quite proud.
"That icy female CEO is now deeply affectionate towards me."
"Brother Fan, you are so awesome." As a bystander, Shen Wei also saw Zhao Ziqing's special feelings for Lin Fan.
You know, over the years, there has never been any news of Zhao Ziqing being close to any man, not even a scandal. There are even rumors in the industry that Zhao Ziqing is not interested in men.
Now it seems that it’s not that Zhao Ziqing doesn’t like men, but that there are too few men who catch her eye!
The two left the company and drove to the famous antique street.
"Brother Fan, there's something I don't know whether I should ask." On the way, Shen Wei spoke hesitantly.
"Since you are so confused, then don't ask." Lin Fan said casually while smoking a cigarette.
"Okay, then I won't ask anymore." Shen Wei retreated a little.
"Forget it, just ask, don't hold it in." Lin Fan changed his mind again.
"How did you rescue Mr. Zhao yesterday?" Shen Wei asked curiously.
"Well, I can tell you, but can you keep it a secret?" Lin Fan pretended to be mysterious.
"Of course I can. I'm very tight-lipped and I won't even tell my mom." Shen Wei vowed.
"Well, then I'll satisfy your curiosity." As he said that, Lin Fan took out the legendary Longyuan Sword from his storage ring.
"I've seen this sword before." Shen Wei said in surprise.
"Storage ring? This is a rare item!" he exclaimed.
Lin Fan looked around, then suddenly opened the car door and jumped out. Under Shen Wei's shocked gaze, he actually circled in the air on his flying sword.
Shen Wei's hand trembled, and the car almost lost control and crashed into the guardrail. Fortunately, his luxury car was equipped with an automatic braking system, which stopped it in time and avoided a collision.
With a whoosh, Lin Fan flew back into the car and sat back in the passenger seat.
"Young man, you need to improve your mental state." Lin Fan said calmly, holding a cigarette in his mouth.
"Oh my God! This is amazing!" Shen Wei looked at Lin Fan, so excited that he was incoherent.
"Read more books and stop saying 'Oh my god' all the time. It makes people laugh at you." Lin Fan warned as he put away the Longyuan Sword.
"Don't forget to keep it a secret. Don't even tell your mother." He emphasized again.
"Brother Fan, are you the legendary sword immortal?" Shen Wei asked excitedly.
"Can you take me flying for a while?" he asked expectantly.
"No, if I have to bring someone, I'd rather bring a beautiful woman." Lin Fan refused without hesitation.
"How about I have a sex change? With my looks, I would be pretty if I became a woman, right?" Shen Wei said half-jokingly.
"Brother Fan, how fast is your flying sword?" he asked curiously.
"I haven't tried flying at full speed, but every time I turn on the navigation, it reminds me that I'm speeding." Lin Fan said with a smile.
"That's amazing!" Shen Wei praised sincerely.
"Stop praising me and drive quickly." Lin Fan put out his cigarette, feeling a sense of satisfaction in pretending to be cool.
He had always been afraid of his special abilities shocking the world, so he rarely displayed them. But today, seeing Shen Wei's surprised and excited expression, he felt very happy.
Just like if you make a lot of money but don’t show off, how can you experience the joy of it?
Along the way, Shen Wei kept asking various questions. Finally, Lin Fan was moved by his enthusiasm and agreed to take him to experience flying another day.
"It's fun to act cool when you have money, and it's fun to act cool all the time, but you have to know when to stop." Lin Fan had a new idea in his mind.
Soon, the two arrived at the antique street. After a few pleasantries with Shopkeeper Chen, they got down to business.
"Mr. Lin, Mr. Shen, I heard you two picked up a pretty good deal last time?"
"Haha, the news spreads pretty fast, even you heard about it?" Shen Wei chuckled with a smug look on his face.
"It's just a minor leak, just a painting."
"It takes extraordinary means to snatch the treasure from Lao Qian." Shopkeeper Chen gave a thumbs up in praise.
"What happened next? Was there any trouble?" Lin Fan interjected curiously.
"Hey, speaking of which, Lao Qian has been in trouble recently. He has been accused of selling counterfeits, and now his reputation in the antique world has plummeted." Shopkeeper Chen said, shaking his head.
"Haha, it seems that the 50,000 yuan was not wasted." Lin Fan smiled in his heart, but his face remained expressionless.
"Mr. Lin, if you are interested in selling that painting, you must give priority to our store." Shopkeeper Chen took the opportunity to express his intention to cooperate.
"No problem." Lin Fan nodded in agreement, but the image of the beautiful and distinctive Qin Ruoshui emerged in his mind. "This woman, we said we'd keep in touch, but she never called."
The car stopped in front of an antique courtyard, and Shopkeeper Chen began to introduce the expert they were about to meet. "This old gentleman was once a senior professor in the Archaeology Department of Ancheng University. Although he is now retired, his position in the Chinese archaeological community is extremely important."
"Don't exaggerate too much. If you don't even recognize the five-colored jade, it's useless no matter how famous you are." Young Master Shen was obviously not very impressed by the so-called authority.
