Chapter 293: Chapter 293

Li Shuying's family lived on the fifth floor of an ordinary residential building.

The infrastructure of this community was not complete; it lacked an elevator, so Ding Fan and the others had to climb the stairs. Mu Zi had hurriedly arranged for Li Shuying and her family to stay here, considering only their safety at the time, and had not taken into account the living conditions.

When they arrived at her door, Li Shuying finally took out the keys, opened the door, and welcomed Ding Fan and the others inside.

Although the space in Li Shuying's home was not large, it was very cozy thanks to her efforts.

Song Tao seemed especially happy today. His mother's illness had been cured, they now had a home, and most importantly, they had Ding Fan as a father. Therefore, a smile was constantly on Song Tao's little face.

After returning home, Ye Ningqing brought over Li Shuying's medical kit and gave her simple first aid.

Fortunately, the injury on Li Shuying's leg was just a flesh wound that hadn't reached the bone.

The group sat down and started chatting about all sorts of things.

"Sister Li, I have already spoken to a primary school here in Yanjing. If possible, Song Tao can start attending classes there next Monday," Mu Zi said from the side.

"Mu Zi...you are our benefactors, you have really done too much for us..." Li Shuying felt her eyes well up with tears at this moment.

Back when she married Song Zheyuan, and later when he abandoned her and their child, and she was diagnosed with cancer, Li Shuying thought her life was filled with nothing but sorrow.

But ever since meeting Ding Fan and the others, who first dealt with Song Zheyuan and then cured her cancer, and were now even arranging for her son's schooling…

Ding Fan had truly helped them tremendously.

"Song Tao, quickly go and kowtow to your Dad Ding and the aunts..." Li Shuying hurriedly pulled Song Tao in front of her and instructed him.

Song Tao promptly went in front of everyone and earnestly began to kowtow to Ding Fan, Mu Zi, and Ye Ningqing.

Mu Zi was very fond of Song Tao. After he finished his kowtow, she went over, picked him up, and kissed him twice on his little face.

Song Tao managed to wriggle out of Mu Zi's arms at this time and ran straight to Ding Fan.

"Dad Ding, you looked so cool when you were fighting, I want to learn to fight! Can you teach me...?"

"What do you need to learn to fight for?" Ding Fan asked Song Tao.

Song Tao's face turned serious, and the childlike innocence on his little face became solemn, almost amusing to see.

"I want to protect my mom. I don't want her to be bullied by others anymore!" Song Tao said determinedly to Ding Fan.

Song Tao's words were sincere, and his eyes showed resolve. Ding Fan nodded in agreement.

Despite his childish speech, Song Tao displayed a heart full of filial piety.

"Alright, I'll teach you martial arts, but first, you must promise me you won't use what I teach you to bully others."

Song Tao nodded earnestly. "I promise!"

Mu Zi seized the moment to interject, "Song Tao, this is the smartest thing you've done today. You've accepted a world-renowned master as your teacher..."

Mu Zi's words were not in jest—Ding Fan's cultivation was extraordinary, and at just over twenty years old, he had already slain an Earth Level third-grade expert. With such an impressive feat, if he wasn't a world-renowned master, who was?

As Song Tao took Ding Fan as his master, Li Shuying was also very pleased. Amid the laughter and conversation, it was soon time for lunch, and Mu Zi proposed going to a nearby restaurant to eat.

Everyone was in high spirits, so there was no opposition. They all left Li Shuying's home talking and laughing.

"Excuse me, are you Young Master Ding, Ding Fan?"

Just as they walked out of the building, a young man in his early twenties came straight up to Ding Fan.

Ding Fan was taken aback. He didn't recognize the person in front of him, and he was unsure how the other party knew him.

"Young Master Ding, someone asked me to deliver something to you... please accept this..." After saying that, the young man handed Ding Fan a piece of paper and then turned to leave.

Ding Fan opened the piece of paper, which had a few words written on it: Lin Qingqing is in trouble! There was an address next to these words.

Ding Fan pondered for a moment, regardless of whether the note was authentic or not, who could have given it to him?

"Brother Fan, Sister Qingqing is in trouble, I'll go with you," Mu Zi, who had seen the content on Ding Fan's piece of paper, said.

After thinking it over, Ding Fan said, "If Qingqing really is in trouble, having more people could actually be disadvantageous. I think I'd better go alone; if something happens, I can adapt accordingly."

Mu Zi wasn't being stubborn this time. Having mingled with groups three, five, six, and seven for so long, she naturally knew that with Ding Fan's skills, bringing her along would simply increase the danger. She could only be a burden to Ding Fan.

"Ning Qing, Mu Zi, you two just wait here until I come back. If anything happens, I will inform you."

Both Mu Zi and Ning Qing nodded.

After giving a few brief instructions, Ding Fan turned and left...

West Mountain on the outskirts of Yanjing.

Located near the Great Wall, the area remained undeveloped, so very few people came here.

At the foot of West Mountain, there was a Land Temple. The temple was so old that the three characters "Land Temple" hanging above the entrance had become quite blurred over the years.

With few visitors, the doors and windows of the temple had long since vanished, and dust filled the interior.

"Lin Qingqing... the big star... heh, just strip and let me have a good time, and who knows, I might be happy enough to let you go..."

At that moment in the Land Temple, Lin Qingqing was bound hand and foot, shivering in a corner. Although she was scared to death, she tried her best to appear calm.

"I am a member of the Lin Family. If you let me go, name your price, and I will make sure you get it..."

The middle-aged man with a face full of sores snorted lightly. "Money? I have plenty of money, but a premium woman like you isn't someone you come across every day... Heh, just make me satisfied, and I'll let you go..."

As he spoke, the man with the pockmarked face reached towards Lin Qingqing.

"Get away..." Lin Qingqing cried out in fear, scrambling further into the corner. Check latest chapters at 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵

Seeing Lin Qingqing's reaction, the man's eyes flickered with contempt. "Stop fucking pretending to be pure with me. I know how messy your entertainment circle is. Today you sleep with this one, tomorrow with another. You're probably just a slut who has been fucked by a thousand riders, yet you put on this act of innocence!"

"I'll give you ten million!" Lin Qingqing was on the verge of breaking down, but she still desperately strived to steady her mind as she spoke.

"I'll say it again, I don't lack money!" the middle-aged man said. "Even if you gave me a hundred million, I wouldn't care!"

Lin Qingqing's brow furrowed. "If you touch me, the Lin Family will not let you off. Aren't you afraid of the Lin Family's revenge?"

The middle-aged man laughed after hearing Lin Qingqing's words. "Of course, I'm afraid of a huge entity like the Lin Family. But before you came out today, you told your secretary you were going to meet Ding Fan... Think about it, if you were to suddenly disappear or even die, who would get the blame?"

As he said this, he began to laugh with self-satisfaction. "Once I've had my fun with you, but the blame falls on Ding Fan, wouldn't you say I've hit the jackpot?"

"You... you..." Lin Qingqing's body trembled as she realized his malicious intent.

"Let me ask you, the person who arranged to meet me wasn't Brother Fan; it was a trap you deliberately set!" Lin Qingqing suddenly seemed to realize something.

The middle-aged man nodded. "That's right, you finally see it. But unfortunately, it's too late. You're in my hands now. No one can save you. You can scream or shout as loud as you want...

it'll make the game all the more thrilling for me!"

After saying this, he started to take off his coat.

Lin Qingqing's expression turned extremely ugly. Given the barrenness of West Mountain and the man's subordinates keeping watch outside, what use would her screams be...

"Even in death... I will not let you succeed!" Lin Qingqing seemed to make a sudden resolution.

The middle-aged man, hearing Lin Qingqing's implied threat, wasn't moved in the least. He laughed cruelly. "Even if you die, I'll still have you. I'm only interested in your body; whether you're alive or dead doesn't matter to me at all. When I'm done, my brothers will take turns... heh heh..."

A trace of despair crossed Lin Qingqing's eyes.

"Babe, since there's no escaping it, might as well learn to enjoy... let brother here teach you how to be a woman!" As the middle-aged man finished speaking, his hand moved directly towards Lin Qingqing's chest.

Right at that moment, a Wind Blade swept through, severing the middle-aged man's hand before it could even touch Lin Qingqing!

At the same time, someone stood in front of Lin Qingqing, shielding her behind them.

"Ahh..." The middle-aged man's right hand sliced off, he cried out in agony, nearly fainting from the pain.

Lin Qingqing, who had been in the depths of despair, suddenly clung to a flicker of hope at this turn of events. She looked up at the person standing before her.

Though she only saw the silhouette, she recognized the newcomer.

On recognizing the figure, Lin Qingqing didn't know whether to feel aggrieved or overjoyed, and tears began to stream down her face...
