Chapter 90 Brother Lu’s Maintenance_1
Translator: 549690339
When Xu Fan arrived at the Star of Zhonghai Villa carrying two huge cases, he found that the villa had already been cordoned off, with a black Passat parked at the entrance.
Just as Xu Fan was about to enter, the rear window of the Passat rolled down, revealing Lu Chenbing’s face.
“Brother Lu! Why did you come personally?” Xu Fan said, somewhat surprised.
“Get in the car and let’s talk,” Lu Chenbing hinted with a look.
“Okay!” Xu Fan dropped the two cases on the ground and climbed into the car.
There was no driver inside the car, only Lu Chenbing. He slowly closed the car window and then seriously said to Xu Fan, “Brother Xu, I’ve been briefed by Li Guoxing about the situation today. Sorry for alarming Little Tongtong. I will arrange for someone to investigate and will definitely help you root out the mastermind behind the scenes.”
Having heard Lu Chenbing’s words, Xu Fan felt touched. Not only had Lu Chenbing not pursued the matter of three deaths at his house, but he also offered to help find the culprit and seek justice.
This was true protectiveness, a sign that Lu Chenbing regarded Xu Fan as one of his own.
“Brother Lu, there’s no need to look for the mastermind. I’ve already taken care of him. Whoever threatens my daughter must know that I won’t let them off,” Xu Fan said with an icy expression.
“Who exactly wanted to kidnap Tongtong?” Lu Chenbing said with an intimidating authority.
“It was Song Qiang from Jin Hui Group. He bore a grudge over the last incident and even hired a martial artist at the peak of the Qi Drawing Realm to try and take out both me and my daughter in one fell swoop. But I’ve already dealt with them,” Xu Fan said indifferently.
“A Qi Drawing Realm expert?” Lu Chenbing exclaimed in surprise. He was only in the Solidifying Body Realm, with a long way to go before reaching the Qi Drawing Realm. Song Qiang from Jin Hui Group had actually hired a Qi Drawing Realm expert, clearly intending to ruthlessly deal with Xu Fan. Fortunately, Xu Fan, already at the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm with the ability to manifest True Qi, was not afraid of his Qi Drawing Realm expert.
“This Qi Drawing Realm person looked neither human nor ghost, skeletal like a skeleton, and kept on saying that he wanted to suck human blood. But now, he’ll never be able to drink blood again,” Xu Fan said slowly.
“Looks like a skeleton and sucks blood? Zhonghai City just had several serial death cases in the past few days, where within three days, four citizens were killed with their bodies left bloodless, almost like dried corpses. But without a doubt, it was this person’s doing!” Lu Chenbing thought of a case that had been troubling him recently, but after hearing Xu Fan’s words, he immediately linked the two cases together.
“That’s very likely. The technique he cultivated is the Bloodthirsty Yin Mara Skill from the Eastern Isles. You could check into it when you have a chance,” Xu Fan recalled and suggested.
“Well, that case has already caused alarm in the Flame Dragon Organization. I’ll go ask them. If it’s confirmed, then you’d be a great hero for solving our case. Even the people from the Flame Dragon Organization would find it extremely difficult to defeat a martial artist at the peak of the Qi Drawing Realm without suffering casualties. Luckily you were there; otherwise, who knows how many more innocent people this demon would have harmed,” Lu Chenbing said with gratitude.
With the prowess of Ghost Twelve, even if the people from the Flame Dragon Organization came, they could at most defeat him, capturing him would be very hard. Unlike Xu Fan, for whom killing him was as easy as squashing an ant.
Ghost Twelve, this time, had definitely picked the wrong day to leave home and run headfirst into Xu Fan the iron board.
“How should we handle this matter? There are still three corpses at my house; if I don’t clean them up, I can’t live there, and I don’t want Tongtong to wake up to such a bloody scene,” Xu Fan said with a wry smile, turning to Lu Chenbing.
“The identities of these three individuals have been confirmed. Two are professional underground fighters, each with several lives on their hands, classified as A-Class criminals wanted by Yan Country. The other one is the martial artist who abducted Song Qiang yesterday. They were all heinous criminals, and their deaths today could be considered just desserts, though it’s a pity they didn’t stand trial. Dying so cleanly was too lenient for them,” Lu Chenbing said with a grimace of detestation.
“There won’t be any trouble handling this, right? After all, given your status here,” Xu Fan said to Lu Chenbing. He wanted to make sure Lu Chenbing wasn’t under too much pressure due to his own actions.
“Haha, you’ve forgotten that just yesterday, at dinner, you agreed to be the instructor for our War Wolf Special Combat Team. An instructor is a part of the War Wolf Squad and also has the authority to arrest criminals. If a criminal resists arrest, you are authorized to kill them on the spot!” Lu Chenbing chuckled heartily as he explained.
“Seems like that’s actually the case,” Xu Fan said, scratching his head with a smile.
“Instructor Xu, thank you for taking out these vile criminals for Zhonghai City. Verbal commendations aside, I’ll make sure the reward is sent to you. Remember to check for it,” Lu Chenbing said with a smile, patting Xu Fan on the shoulder.
“Big brother Lu, you’re really something,” Xu Fan laughed, but his expression quickly changed as he thought of Tongtong. He frowned and hurriedly said, “I need to check on my girl. She’s been through such a scare, it’s nearly driving me mad.”
“I’ve asked little Su to keep an eye on her. Don’t worry, Tongtong is asleep and should be fine,” Lu Chenbing reassured Xu Fan.
“I need to see her for myself,” Xu Fan said apologetically as he opened the car door and got out.
Upon getting out of the car, he saw a beautiful figure holding a chubby little thing—it was Su Jingxue carrying Tongtong.
“Hey! How can changing your phone’s screen protector take so long that you forget about your own daughter?” Su Jingxue chided Xu Fan.
“The guy at the door wasn’t good at it, kept leaving bubbles. I went to the city center to find a professional,” Xu Fan fabricated an excuse, reaching his hands out to Su Jingxue, gesturing for her to hand over Tongtong.
“Here!” Su Jingxue looked at the elf-like little Tongtong in her arms with reluctance, but eventually handed her over to Xu Fan.
Xu Fan picked up the sleeping Tongtong and softly kissed her little cheek.
Even in sleep, Tongtong’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed, clearly having a bad dream.
At that moment, Su Jingxue’s boss, Li Guoxing, walked out from the villa. Seeing Xu Fan, he said politely, “Young man, we’ve cleared up things here. The coroner has already taken the bodies to the hospital’s morgue, but cleaning up will require you to find someone personally.”
“Alright, I’ll arrange for someone to take care of it,” Xu Fan nodded.
It is said that houses where people have died turn into haunted houses, but Xu Fan wasn’t bothered by this at all.
As the Five-Direction Heavenly Emperor in his past life, Xu Fan had trampled over countless skeletons. The souls of these three men had already been completely destroyed by Xu Fan’s casual strikes, ensuring no mischief from ghosts or spirits would arise.
