Chapter 223: Chapter 223

At the entrance of the police station, a black Bentley stopped, and Anna got out of the car. She had come specifically to pick up Feng Wanshan.

At this time, journalists gathered at the entrance of the police station, all waiting for Feng Wanshan to come out.

After the scandal about Feng Wanshan broke out, although Shengshi Group quickly denied it, a subsequent set of intimate photos confirmed it completely.

Feng Wanshan was then taken away by the police for investigation.

Someone shouted, and everyone looked to see Feng Wanshan walk out of the police station accompanied by a lawyer.

Instantly, the journalists surrounded him, trying to interview Feng Wanshan, causing a noisy commotion at the scene.

Face flushed with anger and shame, Feng Wanshan kept his head down and ignored the reporters. With Anna’s escort, he barely squeezed out of the crowd, quickly boarded the car that came to pick him up, and sped away, almost like a rat scurrying away in panic.

Feng Wanshan immediately inquired about the company’s market value, knowing that his incident would certainly impact the company, which was precisely Lin Fan’s intention.

Anna reported: "As soon as the news of you being taken by the police came out, Shengshi’s stock price started to plummet. Its market value has now evaporated by over 20 billion and continues to fall."

Feng Wanshan, struck by anger and excitement, let out a scream and fainted on the spot.

Anna didn’t want him to die yet, as she still needed to know her father’s whereabouts.

"Send him to the hospital quickly!" Anna instructed.

After sending Feng Wanshan to the hospital.

Anna took the opportunity to call Lin Fan: "Feng Wanshan was so furious that he’s in the hospital now."

Lin Fan sat in the living room, where the television was broadcasting the stock market updates. The news of Shengshi Group’s market value evaporating at a mad rate had already spread across the internet.

Netizens applauded, saying that Feng Wanshan deserved it.

"I see," Lin Fan chuckled.

Anna said, "You’ve messed up Feng Wanshan so badly. Do you feel better now?"

Lin Fan smiled: "Feng Wanshan isn’t worth my anger. I’m just giving him a taste of his own medicine. By the way, thanks for the photos you provided."

The scandal of Feng Wanshan’s mistress’s suicide was revealed to Lin Fan by Anna, who also provided the photos.

As Feng Wanshan’s most trusted goddaughter, Anna knew many of his unspeakable secrets.

This was just one of them.

Anna said, "Consider it something I owe you. As for my father..."

Lin Fan seriously replied: "Rest assured, as soon as I have news, I’ll inform you. It should be soon."

Anna said, "Okay, I’ll wait for you."

And then she hung up the phone.

Lin Fan just put down the phone.

The system’s voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

Joy surged through Lin Fan. Could today’s reward be arriving?

"System task data statistics completed. Do you want to read it?"

The system popped up with this question.

Feeling a bit curious, Lin Fan said: "Read!"

"Main task: Build a trillion-dollar business empire."

"Level: Extremely Important."

"Task Progress: 9/100"

"Main task: Subdue Anna."

Lin Fan read the statistics of the system task, feeling a bit complicated.

The market value of Mortal Group had already approached 90 billion, but according to the task progress, only nine percent of the progress was completed, still far from the trillion-dollar goal.

On the other hand, the task of subduing Anna had unknowingly reached seventy percent completion. It seemed that last night’s events greatly boosted the task’s progress.

Lin Fan had revealed to Anna the truth of Feng Wanshan deceiving her, successfully turning her against him. But now, they were in a cooperative relationship, and Anna had not yet submitted to him.

The key to completing this task was An Jincheng. Lin Fan needed to help Anna find out the truth behind An Jincheng’s disappearance.

If Lin Fan could solve this case, he could naturally win over Anna.

Lin Fan was eager to crack this case.

Suddenly, the phone rang; it was Zhang Dafu calling.

"Boss, bad news. There are thugs harassing our distributors again," Zhang Dafu said.

Earlier, a group of thugs rushed into one of Blue Moon’s distributors’ stores, vandalizing it. When the police arrived, the thugs were already gone but had left threats to continue causing trouble unless they canceled their cooperation with Blue Moon.

The distributor, frightened, had already informed Zhang Dafu they wanted to cancel Blue Moon’s orders and cease their cooperation.

Zhang Dafu was about to cry: "Boss, it’s definitely Liu Jinshan’s men again. They do this every day; how can we do business? All our customers are being scared away."

Lin Fan recalled what Liu Jinshan said yesterday—that if Lin Fan didn’t pay up, Liu would cause trouble for Blue Moon daily.

Liu Jinshan really was doing it. Although he was detained, his subordinates were still executing his orders.

These thugs were too hard to deal with. After vandalizing, they fled immediately, making it too late to catch them.

It seemed the only way was to strike at the leader, to subdue Liu Jinshan.

Lin Fan comforted Zhang Dafu: "Don’t worry, try to stabilize that distributor. I’ll handle Liu Jinshan, and I’ll make a trip to the police station."

Zhang Dafu said: "Boss, maybe you haven’t heard? Liu Jinshan was released this morning, after only spending one night in detention!"

Lin Fan exclaimed in surprise. In Liu Jinshan’s situation, a ten-day detention wouldn’t be too much—how did he get released after just one night?

Lin Fan then called Loli for confirmation.

Loli told Lin Fan that Liu Jinshan was indeed released by the command of the police chief. As to why even Loli didn’t know!

Lin Fan chuckled coldly. No need to ask—someone behind Liu Jinshan was pulling strings. That person must be quite formidable to utilize their relationship with the police chief. Could this person also be an official?

When did he offend such a person? Lin Fan felt a bit puzzled.

He thought it over and decided to confront Liu Jinshan.

He needed to uncover the identity of the person backing Liu Jinshan.

Lin Fan then left Yunding Manor and drove into the city.

Lin Fan’s destination was a KTV club run by Liu Jinshan. Going there, he should be able to find Liu Jinshan.

Yesterday at Zhou Tian Mansion wasn’t the right setting, but today Lin Fan was determined to make Liu Jinshan submit.

Suddenly, the system prompt arrived.

"System reminder: Today’s signing-in bonus is available. Signing in grants you a rich sister. Would you like to sign in?"

Lin Fan was taken aback.

Did he hear it wrong?

It seemed the system just said it would grant him a person?

Was this a real person? Lin Fan was a bit skeptical and chose to sign in.

"Congratulations to the host, successfully signed in, and awarded one rich sister. Relationship has been established. Please claim."

"Information on the rich sister has been generated. Would you like to read it?"

A stream of data flooded into Lin Fan’s mind.

"Feng Ruolan, 23 years old, daughter of the Feng Family, a super family in Huaxia. CEO of Longheng Group, a financial mogul known as the ’Demoness of Finance.’ Has enormous wealth and is rumored to be the wealthiest woman in Yun City, hence known as Yun City’s Female Tycoon..."
