"You can’t be so cold-blooded...you are refusing to save someone dying!"
As soon as Song Lili heard that she was to be sent away, she immediately started bellowing loudly.
"This is a tea house, not a police station... Forget it, it’s no use talking to a lunatic like you!"
Lin Fan said with a darkened face, "Of course, if you don’t want to leave, there’s another way. I can find someone to take you to a safe place to hide. At least for a short time, you won’t be found. But you must promise to behave, as for the matter with your brother... don’t worry about that, take care of yourself first."
Sure enough, everything was as Lin Fan had anticipated; Song Lili outright refused his goodwill. Instead, she pointed at him and screeched, "You people are just as cold-blooded and heartless as Huo Ben... none of you will die a good death... You won’t save my brother... I will save him myself... Even if I die... I won’t need your pity!"
"How can you talk ? Our boss saved you just last night, how can you equate him with Huo Ben, who had your father killed?"
"Exactly, your brother disappears and you don’t call the police, instead causing a scene in our shop, go find Huo Ben if you dare!"
Da Xiaoshuang was instantly annoyed too; this person was clearly making a scene without reason.
"If I had your skills... I would have gone already... I wouldn’t stand by and watch innocent people being wrongly accused and humiliated!"
Song Lili turned angrily and yelled at Da Xiaoshuang, "You people who shirk responsibility... have no right to lecture me. I didn’t beg you to save me!"
"Forget it, let her go!"
Lin Fan gestured to stop Da Xiaoshuang; he really didn’t want to waste more words on a lunatic. Just like that, he watched as Song Lili kicked a stool over and cursing, left the shop.
"Nowadays, there really are all sorts of people, acting as if the whole world owes her something!"
Zhu Zhixuan came up behind Lin Fan, resting her hands on his shoulders. That crazy Song Lili was simply nuts.
"It’s also normal, her father died, her brother was caught, her entire support system was lost in an instant. Considering her young age, she couldn’t withstand the blow. It’s understandable that she became . But it’s a pity that the world is cruel because not everyone is tolerant, some mistakes if made once, are enough to topple everything."
Lin Fan patted Zhu Zhixuan’s hand.
"Without a show of force, you won’t have a heart of compassion. This kind of person, at least for now, seems absolutely mindless and isn’t worth saving. Don’t be fooled by her appearance of being fearless; if she falls into Huo Ben’s hands, I’m afraid she would immediately spill everything I’ve said. We’re new in this place, there’s no need to offend such people. After all Da Xiaoshuang, no matter how strong, can’t fight against a gun. Better to keep a low profile while on someone else’s turf."
"Mhm, I understand. This afternoon a few more groups came in, drank tea and applied for membership cards; here are the names and their companies."
Zhu Zhixuan hurriedly handed over the list to Lin Fan. Looking at the companies, they all belonged to the heads of some state-owned enterprises he recognized from last time, each depositing from fifty thousand to one hundred thousand, while Wu Houbiao deposited two hundred thousand, indicating his intentions, as, after all, before the bidding opens, everything is unknown; the brokerage fee would be given after winning the bid.
"Okay, I have to leave for something else now. You guys stay busy."
Lin Fan pinched Zhu Zhixuan’s cheek. He had a date with Xu Jingyi to get to, and before that, he needed to stop by the adult store. After the last ’training’ session with Zhu Dan and Ke Yunan, one couldn’t have too few toys.
Just as Lin Fan was about to push open the door and leave the tea house, Ke Yunan approached, making him pause, "Why are you here?"
"I heard you opened a tea house here, with a very pretty proprietress. Many people are coming here, so of course I had to take a look myself."
Ke Yunan, dressed in business attire, smiled and watched Lin Fan with arms crossed.
"You don’t need to come if you’re one of us."
Lin Fan reached out and pinched Ke Yunan’s cheek; she wasn’t here just for tea.
"There are some social niceties that must be observed, are you not welcoming me?"
Ke Yunan looked at Lin Fan with a slight smile.
"As long as the door is open, of course you’re welcome. But I have to go out for a bit and can’t join you for tea."
Lin Fan stepped aside, allowing Ke Yunan to pass. He couldn’t stay with her arrival; after all, he would be late for his appointment with Xu Jingyi.
"Go then, take care of your business. I’ll be watching the bids tonight, can’t afford any mistakes at the last minute, so I won’t accompany you."
After saying that, Ke Yunan sashayed towards the tea house, but as she passed Lin Fan, she received a slap on her butt, "I’ll make it up to you tomorrow as a celebration."
"Alright, but you said it."
Ke Yunan turned back with a beaming smile and then walked straight into the tea house.
Her arrival left Da Xiaoshuang in shock, for they were seeing the ’proprietress’ for the first time. But now with Zhu Zhixuan sitting in front of the tea room, they didn’t know what to call her and could only respond with an awkward smile. Da Xiaoshuang watched as Ke Yunan took a seat opposite Zhu Zhixuan.
Tang Xiaoshuang tugged at her sister’s arm, "Uh-oh, looks like the master’s harem is about to catch fire!"
