"Capital City's Tian Family?"
Upon hearing these four words, Lin Yifan immediately thought of the culprit, the rascal Tian Ji.
So he responded, "Okay! I know."
"Brother Yifan, when did you offend someone from Capital City? How come I don't know?" Yi Chen asked curiously.
Now, he was truly anxious about Xiao Lian's safety; it was just unfortunate that his realm was still too low to confront the enemy, otherwise, he would have risked his old life to ensure Xiao Lian's safety.
"We can talk about this matter later; I need to go save my sister first," Lin Yifan responded.
Given the urgency of the situation, not even a second could be wasted, so he didn't want to answer Yi Chen's question. The source of this content ɪs novel•fire.net
Yi Chen also understood the seriousness of the situation, so he admonished, "Then, Brother Yifan, be careful! Don't fall for the enemy's tricks."
After speaking, Lin Yifan hung up the phone; then he discussed the matter with Zhou Jiajia and the others.
"Yifan, who is the Tian Family from Capital City? Why would they kidnap Xiao Lian?" Zhou Jiajia asked anxiously.
At the moment, her heart was with Xiao Lian's safety, fearing that this Ghost Spirit would come into harm; if that truly happened, they would lose a lot of joy in the future.
"I had a run-in with that toad-like young master from Capital City's Tian Family; they targeted me," Lin Yifan answered.
Yesterday, at the Yanjing auction, he publicly humiliated Tian Ji, and he guessed that the guy had been harboring resentment, tracking him ever since, looking for an opportunity to kill him in secret.
"Yifan, is it those people who tried to kill you yesterday at Ye Gui Xiang Auction House's entrance?" Xiao Fang asked curiously.
She still vividly remembered yesterday's conflict, that man punished by Lin Yifan publicly was surnamed Tian, so upon hearing the four words "Capital City's Tian Family" she quickly made the connection.
"Yifan was attacked yesterday? When did this happen? How come we didn't know?" Zhou Jiajia asked anxiously.
Yesterday evening, they had only seen Lin Yifan and Xiao Fang arrive at the hospital safe and sound, unaware of what they had encountered before arriving.
"Yesterday after getting off the plane, since we had no money, Yifan took me to the Yanjing Ye Gui Xiang Auction House to exchange for cash. When we got to the auction house entrance, a group of people attacked us without reason, putting Yifan in danger. In the end, Yifan showed his skills and drove those people away; he even punished their leader, the young master. That young master's surname is Tian, probably from Capital City's Tian Family," Xiao Fang explained briefly.
"I see, but Yifan, how did you manage to provoke that young master surnamed Tian?" Zhou Jiajia continued to ask, eager to understand the whole story.
"Now is not the time to discuss this. I'll first take you and Qingqing, along with An Qi, to a safe location, then I'll call Yi Chen to pick you up and take you back to the An Family," Lin Yifan replied.
There were many perverts in the amusement park, as well as hoodlums; he was worried that Zhou Jiajia, An Qi, and Su Qingqing, the three beauties, would be harassed or taken advantage of, so he decided to first take Zhou Jiajia and the others to a safe location, then have Yi Chen come and take them back to the An Family.
Why not go back to the villa? Because the villa had been exposed and was extremely dangerous, so it was safer to go back to the An Family, especially since it was not far from there.
"Then what about you two?" An Qi asked curiously.
"Xiao Fang and I will head to Wind Pavilion Grove in the outskirts to rescue Xiao Lian," Lin Yifan replied.
"Then we're going too!" An Qi and the others said in unison.
If Xiaofang can go, why can't they; they were determined to advance and retreat with Lin Yifan, to share life and death.
"Sister Xiaofang's martial arts skills are stronger than mine; having her with me will be a great help. Stop being jealous and be good, stay at home and wait for our good news," Lin Yifan explained and persuaded.
Zhou Jiajia and the others following would only cause him trouble, so it was better if they didn't go at all.
"Sister Xiaofang's martial arts skills are better than yours? Really?" An Qi and the others were somewhat shocked, unable to believe that this was true.
They had always thought that Sister Xiaofang's martial arts were inferior to Yifan's because only then could Yifan subdue Xiaofang, such a stunning beauty.
"Didn't you see who controlled me when I tried to kill myself last night? How could she control me if she weren't stronger than me?" Lin Yifan retorted; the answer was clear.
Upon reflection, Zhou Jiajia and the others felt that Lin Yifan made sense, and considering Xiaofang was Lin Yifan's senior sister, her realm might indeed be higher than his; they then urged, "Alright, you two be careful on the road, and make sure to bring Xiaolian back safely."
"We'll be cautious, don't worry!"
Having said that, Lin Yifan took Zhou Jiajia, An Qi, and Su Qingqing to the Golden Sand Bay police station nearby, and then made a turn toward the Wind Pavilion Grove in the suburbs.
On the way, he had already called Yi Chen, believing Yi Chen would soon arrive there.
Watching the car rushing into the distance, Zhou Jiajia and the others felt anxious, fearing something might happen to Lin Yifan; they then prayed collectively, "Bodhisattva, you must protect Yifan and ensure they come back safe and sound; we don't want anything to happen to them."
Meanwhile, the furiously speeding Lin Yifan soon arrived at Wind Pavilion Grove on the outskirts.
Here, he and Xiaofang got out of the car and went into the grove to meet with the people from the Tian Family in the Capital City.
There was a pavilion in the grove called Wind Pavilion, a spot often visited by couples seeking a private moment.
Fifty meters away from Wind Pavilion, they saw the people from the Tian Family of Capital City.
The Tian Family members were keeping a close eye on their surroundings, guarding against possible attacks.
Tied to one of the pavilion's pillars, they discovered Xiaolian. Her mouth was taped shut, and she looked panicked and anxious.
Lin Yifan felt furious, not expecting these people to be so malicious as to lay hands on his family member; this grudge was unforgivable.
"Yifan! What do we do now?" Xiaofang asked curiously.
With Xiaolian bound and people watching all around, a successful attack seemed unlikely. Most crucially, a cultivator stood next to Xiaolian, a snow-white dagger at the ready. Any sudden move they made might prompt the cultivator to unhesitatingly stab the dagger into Xiaolian's heart—a fatal blow they could not risk.
"At this point, we can only comply with their demands," Lin Yifan answered.
"You're really going to go and get yourself killed?" Xiaofang was extremely concerned and disagreed with Lin Yifan's method.
"Only by doing so can I provide you with a chance to strike," Lin Yifan replied, then admonished, "You must seize the opportunity when it presents itself, understand?"
Xiaofang had a sudden realization and quickly grasped Lin Yifan's plan; she responded and urged, "Understood! You be careful too, and don't do anything foolish."
