Not long after.
The lawyer on Lin Fan's side arrived at the police station.
Seeing the lawyer arrive,
Lin Fan finally felt relieved.
He curled his lips, revealing a face full of villainy!
Ahem... revealing a face full of protagonist vibes!
On Song Ligang's side,
Xu Shi had also arranged for a lawyer.
Of course, it couldn't be a familiar face.
After all, the act still had to be played out.
So, instead of sending Zhang San,
they sent Li Si, who was from the same school as Zhang San.
In the legal circle, Zhang San's reputation overshadowed most lawyers.
This also created favorable conditions for Li Si.
------- Playing the fool to outsmart the tiger.
On this side,
Lin Fan's lawyer's main task was to get him out.
While Li Si was also working to get Song Ligang out, he was simultaneously throwing dirt.
Or rather, suing Lin Fan for disrupting public affairs and provoking Song Ligang verbally.
The surveillance cameras only captured the visuals,
but there was no audio.
Later, with the financial power of the Xu family,
a "small" sum of money could easily bribe the café owner,
as well as other bystanders who were temporarily brought in to testify.
In short, anything that money could solve,
had to be handled perfectly.
Just like that,
the plaintiff became the defendant,
and the defendant became the plaintiff.
Lin Fan was sentenced to spend a night in detention for various charges like malicious street brawling and provocation.
He wouldn't be released until noon the next day.
No bail allowed.
His lawyer did his best,
but it was all in vain.
"Eh? It's you again? How come you're back in here?"
At the detention center,
the officer who had detained Lin Fan last time,
seeing this familiar face,
was a bit dumbfounded.
As time passed,
the injuries on Lin Fan's face had faded a bit.
He no longer looked like a pig's head.
Otherwise, the officer wouldn't have recognized him.
Lin Fan just glared fiercely at the officer,
not wanting to speak.
His heart was full of bitterness.
He didn't want to talk about it.
Damn it.
Who would want to come to this hellhole?
Even a ghost would shake its head in disapproval.
"Tch, serves you right,"
the officer muttered inwardly.
People like him deserved to be locked up.
Perhaps,
locking him up was doing society a favor.
The officer led Lin Fan to the detention room.
"Alright, get in."
Lin Fan looked at the dirty yet familiar place,
his lips twitching.
"I want a different room!"
This was the same room he had stayed in last time!
The blanket on the bed reeked of urine.
Even before entering,
Lin Fan could smell it again.
This was too much!
This was absolutely outrageous!
They didn't even change the blanket.
It was utterly unacceptable!
"Change rooms? Heh... Are you the officer, or am I?"
The officer sneered.
Lin Fan glared angrily, his fists clenched.
The officer: "What? Want to assault an officer? That'll just add more days to your stay."
Lin Fan snorted disdainfully.
No need to waste energy on such a small fry!
The most crucial thing now was to figure out Song Ligang's identity,
and who had sent that guy!
Seeing Lin Fan obediently enter the detention room,
the officer locked the door and left.
"That big guy has some skills, definitely not an ordinary person."
"Whoever is behind him has the power to twist the truth!"
"Must be someone of considerable status in Magic City..."
Lin Fan's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's.
He quickly analyzed the situation, though it didn't lead to any useful conclusions.
He genuinely couldn't recall offending any big shots.
Xu Mo, that useless playboy,
was straightforward and brainless.
A bit of verbal provocation,
and he'd be ready to jump at Lin Fan's throat.
So, Xu Mo was definitely not the one.
Lin Fan thought hard for a while,
but eventually decided to stop overthinking.
Tomorrow, when he got out,
he'd just hire someone to investigate.
At night,
the women's group chat, spontaneously created by the female lead, exploded with messages.
Lin An'an: Is this Lin Fan? (Image jpg) Just got off work and saw this short video. I couldn't stop laughing.
Xu Shi: Why didn't they break his nose?
Yang Jingying: So satisfying, so relieving.
Shen Manni: +1
Zhou Qiaoqiao: @Xu Shi, was this your doing?
Xu Shi: Good sisters, it wasn't me, I swear. I just opened the trending page and saw Lin Fan beaten to a pulp.
Zhou Qiaoqiao: This afternoon, I remember you asked An Youyi to stay behind for a private chat. Was it her who did it?
Xu Shi: Hehe... Seems like nothing escapes you sisters. It wasn't An Youyi. Haven't you seen the video yet, Qiaoqiao? It's in the group files. The one who did it was a new bodyguard I hired.
Li Jiaxin: Hehe (*^▽^*), well done! Truly outrageous (in a good way!). Xu Shi, if there's a next time, remember to call me for backup.
Shen Manni: So direct?
Li Jiaxin: Of course not, I'd wear a mask.
At a regular family-style restaurant,
Yang Jingxuan stared at the messages in the group chat,
completely stunned.
Goodness!
Are you all really saying these things in front of a police officer?
Turns out Lin Fan was innocent after all.
But it feels so satisfying.
Yang Jingxuan agreed with Yang Jingying's perspective.
Yang Jingying: @Yang Jingxuan, wasn't Lin Fan taken to your police station? How's it going? If possible, keep him locked up so he doesn't harm anyone.
Yang Jingxuan forced a bitter smile.
Sister, please at least respect my profession!
The dragon-slaying girl has become the dragon herself!
Yang Jingxuan: He's locked up for one night, will be released tomorrow noon.
Yang Jingying: Just one night? Did the person in charge take a bribe? I'll double it, keep him locked up longer.
Yang Jingxuan was both amused and exasperated.
Sister, please stop joking. Under normal circumstances, Lin Fan wouldn't have been detained at all.
Xu Shi, was this your doing?
Xu Shi: Bingo! Jingxuan, you guessed right, but there's no reward for guessing correctly.
Han Zhiqi: Why not just kill Lin Fan? End it once and for all.
The future queen of the underworld finally couldn't hold back and chimed in.
Her words were ruthless, even more so than a ruthless person.
She was a ruthless destroyer!
Yang Jingxuan was shocked.
Are you all not even pretending anymore?
Straight-up talking about murder?
Dumping him in the river to feed the fish?
If it were the old Yang Jingxuan,
she would have been appalled by such behavior.
But now, she was numb.
Em...
Just let it all burn.
I'm tired.
Xu Shi: @Han Zhiqi, hehe, you think so too?
Han Zhiqi: Need equipment? Or manpower?
Xu Shi: Actually, I wanted to talk to you about this. I need both.
Zhou Qiaoqiao: Xu Shi, we can't just take things from others for free. I'll provide the funds.
Yang Jingying: Little sister, you're quite bold? Didn't you hear you're about to go bankrupt due to failed oil investments? Don't worry, big sis has plenty of money, no need to trouble you.
Yang Jingxuan: ???? Sis, when did I invest in oil? I didn't.
Yang Jingying: Not you, her @Zhou Qiaoqiao.
Yang Jingxuan: Oh.
Staring at the messages on her phone screen,
Yang Jingxuan began pondering the three great philosophical questions of life.
Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
What???
What the heck.
Since when did my sister have a little sister?
Even I, her actual sister, didn't know about it.
What exactly happened during the time I wasn't active in the group chat?
Does anyone know?
Zhou Qiaoqiao: Hehe... Big sis, you mentioned oil? This time, I did lose some money, but it wasn't much. Just enough to get by.
Yang Jingying: What do you mean, little sister?
Yang Jingxuan: ...
Yang Jingying: What do you mean, Zhou Qiaoqiao?
Zhou Qiaoqiao: Big sis Yang, let's not beat around the bush. The Yang family has been the top of the four great families for quite some time, right? It's time for a change at the top.
Yang Jingying: Tsk tsk... Do you know how much money it takes to even come close to the Yang family?
Meanwhile,
in the Yang family villa,
after sending that message,
Yang Jingying felt a sense of unease.
"What does this Zhou Qiaoqiao mean?"
"She's not crazy, but she's saying crazy things, which is highly suspicious."
"Didn't her Zhou family invest heavily in oil stocks?"
"With the current oil market, instead of selling, they're holding onto them. Isn't that suicidal?"
Zhou Qiaoqiao: Allow me to keep you in suspense, big sis. I believe it won't be long before you understand the meaning behind my words.
The tide has turned.
The momentum is unstoppable!
Even Xu Mo is on my side!
(Casually)
Zhou Qiaoqiao laid her cards on the table.
She no longer wanted to pretend.
In the past few days, she had already made a fortune.
The returns from those bonds were staggering,
earning her a fortune daily... more accurately, earning her a fortune hourly.
Her true power was slowly being revealed,
but not fully.
The reason Zhou Qiaoqiao was being cryptic
was entirely due to the issue of the wedding house.
She didn't mind living with her in-laws,
if Xu Mo was willing.
He was unwilling.
Moving out to live separately was also an option.
After all, that would be their future home together.
Apart from planning all this,
Zhou Qiaoqiao had also prepared herself for having children.
One or two kids were too few.
Three kids at the very least!
After completing this unprecedented, one-of-a-kind deal,
the honor they would gain would be unparalleled.
What more was there to strive for?
Why bother with relentless self-improvement?
They had already reached the pinnacle of life.
With the remaining time,
what else was there to do but nurture exceptional successors?

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints.

And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork.

So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
