Chapter 248: A Different Kind of Villain

Chapter 248: Chapter 248: A Different Kind of Villain

Nalan Jia, who was standing to the side, waved his hand, dismissing all his underlings.

He, however, pulled up a random chair and sat down.

Life is sometimes full of risks, but life itself is a gamble.

Honestly, he didn’t want to bet on Jiang Fan, yet he saw a spark of something out of the ordinary in the young man.

So he stayed.

Meanwhile, Liu Quan had called Hua Qinyun. This time, however, he didn’t add any embellishments and simply relayed Jiang Fan’s words directly.

"Elder Lu, it’s Jiang Fan."

"Well, well, Jiang! It’s been a long time since you’ve contacted this old man."

"I was starting to think you’d forgotten all about me."

Elder Lu was clearly taken aback when he received Jiang Fan’s call, but that surprise quickly turned into delight.

"How could I? I’ve just been tied up with trivial matters lately. In fact, I’m calling you this time to ask for a favor."

Jiang Fan didn’t beat around the bush and got straight to the point.

"What is it? Just say the word. If I can do it, I’ll definitely get it done for you."

Elder Lu was also very magnanimous.

Jiang Fan chose his words carefully. "Elder Lu, I wonder if you’ve heard of the Hua Family in Yang City?"

There was a brief silence on the other end. "You’ve crossed paths with them?"

Jiang Fan briefly described what had happened.

"That old bastard. He’s got one foot in the grave, he should just die already! How dare he try to steal from the younger generation."

"Don’t you worry. Leave this to me."

"However, I’m currently abroad. I’ll give you a phone number. Contact him."

"He’ll handle this for you. It’s just the Hua Family, nothing more."

He wasn’t sure if it was just his imagination, but Jiang Fan sensed a deep disdain for the Hua Family in Elder Lu’s words.

But beyond the disdain, there was also a hint of hatred for the Hua Family’s patriarch.

"Thank you, Elder Lu. If you ever need my help in the future, just say the word."

Afterward, Elder Lu didn’t delay and sent a number straight over.

Staring at the number, Jiang Fan found it incredibly familiar.

He subconsciously tapped it, and it immediately jumped to a contact in his phone.

"Holy shit!!"

At that moment, his eyes nearly popped out of his head.

He never in a million years would have thought this number belonged to his future father-in-law.

Li Muwan’s father, Li Jiaxiang. No wonder the number looked so familiar!

He didn’t have much time to think, as his phone rang less than two minutes later.

Looking at the number, Jiang Fan hesitated for only a moment.

"Jiang Fan? Why is it you?"

On the other end, Li Jiaxiang’s tone was filled with utter surprise.

"Uncle, if I said this was an accident, would you believe me...?"

"Alright, you can explain it to me later. First, tell me what’s going on. Elder Lu wasn’t very clear."

"He just tossed me a number and told me to help."

"And it’s about something as troublesome as the Hua Family, no less."

Jiang Fan recounted the events once more.

"Is there no law and order anymore! It looks like the Hua Family really needs to be taught a lesson."

On the other end of the line, Li Jiaxiang had originally thought it was just a conflict between youngsters, at worst a case of someone throwing their weight around.

But now, the entire welfare home was involved.

This was something he absolutely could not tolerate. On one hand, Jiang Fan was his prospective son-in-law, and this was the place where he had grown up.

On the other hand, what was a welfare home? It might not have power or backing, but it represented one of the last bastions of conscience left in society.

He would absolutely not allow anyone with ulterior motives to use them, especially as a threat!

"I’ll be there soon. Leave this matter to me."

After saying that, Li Jiaxiang hung up the phone directly.

He didn’t give Jiang Fan any chance to speak. He had wanted to ask how long it would take him to get there. ’What if he doesn’t get here in time and I end up killing or maiming these guys...?’

It had to be said, Jiang Fan was truly audacious. At a time like this, he wasn’t worried about his own safety, but about whether he would maim them.

"Brother, you..."

Nalan Jia’s eyes were filled with shock and uncertainty.

He had just clearly explained how terrifying the Hua Family was.

But this little brother of his had actually dared to make a call, and it seemed he had even received a positive response...

"Don’t worry, it’s fine. It’s just the Hua Family, nothing more."

"We can just sit back and watch the show."

"Big brother, tell me, what’s the Hua Family usually like? Have they done anything heinous?"

As a boss who controlled underworld forces, Nalan Jia was naturally more knowledgeable about certain hidden matters.

"Brother, there are some things I can tell you, but some things must be taken to my grave."

"Honestly, at first, I thought I was pretty shady myself. But compared to these people with power and money..."

"I’m a fucking saint!"

Those two sentences were all it took for Jiang Fan to understand.

Nalan Jia then told him a few other things, and half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

A Maybach pulled up and stopped at the entrance of the welfare home.

A young man in a sharp suit and leather shoes stepped out.

Looking at the scene before him, a trace of disgust appeared on his face.

He even took out a handkerchief to cover his nose and mouth before starting to walk over.

"That’s the Hua Family’s third young master, Hua Qinyun."

Nalan Jia whispered in Jiang Fan’s ear.

"I can tell. How could an ordinary person walk with such an arrogant stride?"

Jiang Fan pursed his lips. He had to admit, the kid’s style and looks were top-notch. Out in the world, he could definitely be the dream lover of countless women.

He was on par with, if not better than, some of the hottest pop stars, and his aura crushed them by a mile.

"You must be Jiang Fan, right?"

"I’ve investigated you, and I know you have the item. Three million, and give it to me."

"This is an excellent outcome for you and for the entire welfare home. It’s useless for you to keep it." ℯ

"Instead, you can take this three million and do something more meaningful."

"For example, renovating this welfare home, or covering the living expenses for these children in the future, no?"

"Besides, even when you beat a dog, you should consider its master, shouldn’t you?"

Hua Qinyun turned his head and glanced at Liu Quan, who was kneeling on the ground.
