Chapter 89 Don't Even Think About Leaving
Lin Fan gently stroked Lin Yue'er's head, "Yue'er, no, I can't go and propose marriage."
Lin Yue'er, her eyes red, tried to break free from Lin Fan, but Lin Fan held her tightly in his arms and whispered something in her ear.
He adapted his experiences in Baishi County and told Lin Yue'er that he had investigated the Ma family's case, and that some bad guys wanted to kill him to silence him. He killed some people and escaped.
"The county is busy arresting Liu Feng right now, so they probably won't come to arrest me anytime soon. But I can't stay in the village any longer. I'll leave once things are over here."
Lin Yue'er had actually guessed some of it; Lin Fan must have suffered a lot, but she didn't expect the situation to be so bad, and her body trembled slightly.
Lin Fan held her shoulders, pulling her a distance away, and stared intently into her eyes. "So, Yue'er, I can't propose marriage. But, would you like to come with me?"
Where to go? If you find an entrance nearby, go back through the entrance; if you can't find one, go to Kunlun.
"Where?"
Lin Fan shook his head, "It's not decided yet, but it will definitely be a very far place, and it's very likely that we will never come back."
Lin Yue'er gritted her teeth, seemingly hesitant.
"Think about it again carefully, there's still time."
Lin Yue'er nodded and let out a soft moan.
Lin Fan continued, "If we go together, we can get married once we reach a stable place. If you don't want to go, I won't blame you."
Lin Yue'er stared at Lin Fan's face for a long time. Lin Fan was no longer young. His once handsome and delicate face had become sharply defined. Coupled with a large scar on his face, his handsome features exuded a fierce aura.
Lin Yue'er tiptoed and pecked him on the cheek, then blushed and ran away.
Lin Fan watched Lin Yue'er's retreating figure and smiled helplessly.
Turning back into the house, I found the food box that Lin Yue'er had brought that morning still inside. Opening the food box released a fragrant aroma.
It was a bowl of wontons, topped with chopped scallions. It had been sitting there since morning and was long since cold, but Lin Fan still ate it with relish. Surprisingly, the wonton wrappers were filled with meat.
After finishing the wonton soup, which was still glistening with oil, Lin Fan let out a comfortable sigh of relief. He hadn't eaten anything proper all day, just nibbling on some dry rations when he got hungry.
Just as they were getting ready, Doctor Lei pushed open the door and brought Chen Ergou in. "Brother, it's almost time. Let's set off once we're ready."
Lin Fan checked his equipment. He rummaged through the bag Miao Zhuzi had given him, which contained things she had taken from Wan Shou, including many valuable items. However, what Lin Fan needed was something that could be immediately converted into combat power from scratch, even if it had some side effects.
He searched for a while before finally finding one. Miao Zhuzi had written a note in delicate handwriting explaining its usage and side effects. Lin Fan thought for a moment and then handed the gold-inlaid jade to Chen Ergou.
"Ergou, you can borrow this. Remember to take it out and use it if you are in danger."
When Chen Ergou first arrived, he was surprised to find that the little thing was inlaid with gold and jade. He was initially very excited, but after Lin Fan explained the side effects to him, Chen Ergou's face clearly fell.
"Brother, can I not take this?"
"What do you say?"
Ignoring Chen Ergou's face, which looked like his wife had died, Lin Fan remembered that the doctor had taken his gray pills and hadn't returned them.
"Doctor, I still have a bottle of gray pills. Do you have it with you? That stuff can stop bleeding; it might be useful if we start doing something."
Doctor Lei shook his head. “Brother, I’m taking that away for your own good. I don’t know what kind of pill it is, but the main ingredient is from our Southern Frontier. That stuff isn’t for living people. Look at what’s happened to your skin and teeth. If you continue to take this pill, you might not even be human one day.”
However, Lin Fan still insisted on coming back. "I know that stuff from that stinky old man won't be that good, but if it weren't for that stuff, I would have died long ago. It's better to be alive than dead."
Dr. Lei smiled confidently, "Don't worry, with me here, you won't die unless your head is cut off."
Lin Fan nodded. He still trusted the doctor, and since they were on the same side now, it wouldn't do him any good to harm himself.
"This is my younger brother, Lei Dong. He just came from our hometown to stay with me a few days ago. This is my new assistant, Chen Ergou."
The gatekeeper at Lin's house only glanced at Lin Fan and Chen Ergou before letting the three of them in. Doctor Lei had always been on good terms with Lin, and since the third concubine was sick and Doctor Lin had brought medicine for a follow-up visit, they naturally had nothing to say.
The three of them first went to the third concubine's place. This young woman, who looked not much older than Lin Yue'er, also had bright eyes and white teeth, but her dark circles were a bit heavy.
“My maiden name is Ze, and my given name is Zhishan.”
The third concubine introduced herself to the two newcomers in a coquettish voice. Her beautiful eyes kept sizing up Lin Fan.
"I'll go make some tea, please wait a moment, you three." According to procedure, they need to wait here for a while, and then the third concubine will lead them to the second concubine's place along the path.
As soon as Ze Zhishan left, Chen Ergou nudged Lin Fan with his elbow and said, "Hey buddy, do you think this third concubine is interested in you? You should make the most of it. Lin the Rich always bullies us, you should get your revenge."
Lin Fan said unhappily, "Don't talk nonsense. It's normal for her to look at my scar a few more times."
Chen Ergou waved his hand, "What respectable woman introduces herself by her maiden name? Is she saying it for Dr. Lei to hear? It can't be me, can it? Come to think of it, all the women who like you are like this."
As Chen Ergou spoke, he gestured with his hand in front of his chest, meaning that the land was flat as a pancake.
Lin Yue'er wasn't like that; she was just dressed tightly. However, Lin Fan didn't want to explain this to Chen Ergou, so he simply ignored him and said to Doctor Lei, "Doctor, I'll be going now."
Dr. Lei nodded. "Okay, I'll try my best to stall Third Madam when she returns."
This was their pre-arranged plan: Lin Fan would kidnap the second concubine alone, then exit through the same spot where Niu Dadan had sneaked in earlier. If all went smoothly, the mission would be accomplished. The rest of the preparations were just in case of failure.
As for the path leading to the second concubine's room, Doctor Lei had already told Lin Fan about it.
Lin Fan, with a rope and a set of cloaking cloth tucked into his arms, went out.
As soon as Zhe Zhishan returned, he craned his neck to look for Lin Fan.
Er Gou chuckled, "Brother Lei went to the outhouse, let's wait for him for a while."
Niu Dadan gently stroked Sun Ruolan's belly, "Ruolan, are you really going to abort our child?"
Sun Ruolan's cold little hand touched Niu Dadan's hand. "Brother Niu, I don't want to either, but no matter how that fatso tries to seduce me, he won't sleep with me. If this continues, the child will be found out sooner or later."
Niu Dadan picked up the woman beside him and placed her on his lap, staring into her eyes. "Ruolan, come with me and leave this damn rich man."
The second concubine's eyes glistened with tears. "Ah Dan, are we really going to come to this?"
Niu Dadan said bitterly, "I think that old ghost probably found out. Today a strange person came to see me and said that if I ignored him, he would report me to Lin Laocai. Oh, and Doctor Lei also helped that person stop me. I was terrified at the time."
A strange glint flashed in Sun Ruolan's eyes, and her cold hand gripped Niu Dadan tightly. "Could it be that the bald doctor has already revealed it, and we shouldn't have believed him? But how can we escape? I know his secret, and Lin Laocai won't let me go."
Niu Dadan wasn't as quick-witted as his woman; she immediately understood.
He took out a mannequin from the package with one hand, a female doll that looked three-tenths like Sun Ruolan.
"This is the only way. We'll treat this as you, burn it all down, and then fly away."
The dim candlelight illuminated the yellowish room. Before Sun Ruolan could speak, Niu Dadan keenly noticed a flicker in the light and shadow, and a black dagger emerged from the shadow.
Fortunately, Niu Dadan noticed in advance and dodged the knife.
Following the black knife, a figure emerged. Lin Fan glared at Niu Dadan, "Stop running! None of you are leaving!"
