Chapter 201: Chapter 201

Liu Mengjie gritted her teeth and said decisively, "That’s right, I am someone who despises the poor and loves the rich. I like Lin Fan, not you, because he’s richer, younger, and more handsome than you. What do you have to compare with him?"

Sun Liang’s face turned ashen, but his self-esteem was strong. Even near death, he wanted to grab a handful of sand: "I’m not as young, not as handsome, not as rich, but at least I’m stronger. I can protect you from bad guys. Can he?"

He hadn’t finished speaking.

Suddenly, a voice came, and a shirtless man, leading a group of people, charged towards them.

It was the drunkard who had previously harassed the singing girl in the square!

The drunkard was kicked over by Lin Fan, spoiling his plans, and he held a grudge. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, so he gathered a group of people to seek revenge on Lin Fan.

Seeing this scene, Sun Liang was startled and exclaimed, "What’s going on?"

Lin Fan said, "These people are coming for Mengjie. Aren’t you strong? Why don’t you help Mengjie chase them away?"

Sun Liang was shocked, "Are you kidding me? There are so many of them. How could I possibly handle it alone?"

He chickened out, truly chickened out.

Lin Fan shook his head, "Looks like you’re going to lose everything, even your underwear."

Saying this, Lin Fan took a few steps forward to meet the gang.

The drunkard, seeing Lin Fan approaching, recalled the terrifying moment when Lin Fan kicked him and quickly shrank back, shouting, "Enough talk, everyone get him! Beat him up!"

The group then rushed in, surrounding Lin Fan, attempting to gang up on him.

Sun Liang immediately became a bit gleeful, "This guy wants to show off. Think about how he’ll be beaten like a pig, it makes me a bit excited."

Lin Fan then turned back and said, "Sun Liang, are you not coming to help? Don’t you want to protect Mengjie?"

Sun Liang laughed, "Didn’t she choose you? She has your protection, that’s enough. Guys, I have nothing to do with these two. Don’t come at me, okay? I’m just here to watch."

She was really angry. They say tough times reveal true feelings, but this is ridiculous. Just a few bad guys, and Sun Liang chickened out, yet he claims he loves her?

Over there, the tough guys surrounded Lin Fan and tried to beat him up.

However, most of their punches missed, and even the few that hit Lin Fan did no damage. On the contrary, with Lin Fan’s counterattack,

all these aggressive men were lying on the ground in the blink of an eye, all of them writhing in pain and screaming.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Liu Mengjie was dumbfounded because she didn’t expect Lin Fan to be so fierce. Then Liu Mengjie looked starry-eyed. Little Fan was too amazing, so manly, so boyfriend-material.

Sun Liang was shocked and speechless.

The drunkard was scared pale. Damn, this guy is way too badass. His brothers were all taken down by him in the blink of an eye.

Lin Fan beckoned to the drunkard with a finger, "Come here."

The drunkard was trembling all over, "What, what do you want?"

"Come here!" Lin Fan’s face turned serious.

The drunkard shivered, not daring to resist, and timidly walked over to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan reached out and patted the drunkard on the shoulder, "After I say the word ’scram,’ you and your people better run as far as you can. If you dare to come again, I’ll twist your head off. Also, if I find out you’re still bothering that singing girl, I’ll twist your head off too. Understand?"

The drunkard, feeling half his body go numb from Lin Fan’s pat, was drenched in cold sweat. Damn, this guy is not even human. How could he be so strong? His grip was so powerful, he could probably twist his head off easily.

"Understood, understood." The drunkard quickly nodded.

The drunkard hurriedly pulled his men up from the ground, and they all helped each other out of there. Seeing them stumble and stagger, it seemed like it would take them at least a couple of weeks to recover.

Lin Fan walked back and looked at Sun Liang, "Man, that wasn’t cool. You said you were stronger and could protect Mengjie, but come crunch time, you chickened out?"

Sun Liang blushed red with embarrassment; this time, he had no excuse. He had indeed chickened out too much just now, he couldn’t deny it.

Moreover, he was truly intimidated by Lin Fan’s fearsome strength. Lin Fan was simply perfect, young, handsome, rich, and even formidable in fights.

Compared to Lin Fan, Sun Liang truly started to feel inferior from the bottom of his heart.

Liu Mengjie said coldly, "Sun Liang, do you understand now why I don’t like you?"

Sun Liang kept his head down, not daring to reply. He was already feeling utterly humiliated and quickly ran off to his BMW to leave.

From now on, he probably wouldn’t have the face to appear in front of Liu Mengjie again.

Seeing Sun Liang finally leave, Liu Mengjie breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, as long as that guy didn’t pester her anymore, she could be at ease.

Lin Fan came up to her, "Not scared, are you?"

"Little Fan, I’m so glad you were here," Liu Mengjie said with a smile.

Lin Fan was really amazing. She still remembered the first time she met Lin Fan, it was when she encountered bad guys, and Lin Fan stepped in to help her drive them away. Tonight, Lin Fan fighting against ten people was just like Yip Man in the movies, so handsome.

In fact, she didn’t know that Lin Fan had taken the system-rewarded Strength Serum, making it a breeze to deal with ordinary people.

Lin Fan said, "No big deal. That Sun Liang probably won’t dare come again, right?"

Liu Mengjie nodded, "Yes, and I want to thank you more for that. I really didn’t expect him to show up tonight."

If Lin Fan hadn’t been there, she might have been harassed by him again. She didn’t like Sun Liang one bit.

Lin Fan said, "It’s all good now. Let’s go, I’ll take you home."

So, the two got into the Rolls-Royce and headed back to Lijing District.

After tonight’s date, Liu Mengjie liked Lin Fan even more. Her heart totally belonged to Lin Fan now; not even Sun Liang or anyone else could enter her heart again.

When they reached downstairs at her apartment.

"Little Fan, do you want to come up to my place for a cup of tea?" Liu Mengjie asked.

But Lin Fan was already thinking about Anna and casually replied, "It’s too late; maybe next time. I need to head back."

Inside: No way, is he really that oblivious? Didn’t he get what I meant!

Or did he understand and just used this as a way to gently reject her?

Anyway, Liu Mengjie felt quite upset, "Alright, drive safe."

After saying that, Liu Mengjie got out of the car and quickly went into the building.

Watching her back, Lin Fan finally realized what Liu Mengjie had said earlier, and felt like he missed something.

Just then, a call came in, interrupting Lin Fan’s thoughts; it was Loli.

Lin Fan started the car while answering the phone.

"Officer Sis, what’s up?"

Loli said, "We’ve identified the suspect from the surveillance screenshots. His name is Wu Guicai, 30 years old. He applied for assistance from a charity last year when his daughter fell ill, but was denied due to failing to meet the criteria. As a result, his daughter died from lack of medical treatment, and his wife left him in grief."

Lin Fan responded, "So it seems he’s taking his daughter’s death out on the charity’s officials?"

Loli said, "Yes. He must have planned this for a long time. This happened last year, but he only started killing this year."

Lin Fan asked, "Can you find him?"

Loli answered, "We’re making every effort to capture him. Hopefully, we can catch him tonight. However, our clues are limited. We might still need to rely on your event tomorrow to lure him out."

Lin Fan said, "Sure, no problem. By the way, Officer Sis, after this is over, I’d like you to help me with something."

Loli was a bit thrilled; the guy she admired was asking for her help. She said, "What is it? Don’t worry, as long as it’s within my ability, consider it done."

Lin Fan said, "I’d like you to help me investigate someone named An Jincheng, who mysteriously disappeared 15 years ago..."
