Chapter 49
Truth be told—a child of destiny could accept being ridiculed and betrayed by anyone, but never by the woman he loved.
Sure, Lin Xi wasn’t technically Ye Fan’s woman.
But in the eyes of a child of destiny?
As long as it was soone he liked, shouldn’t she submit to, worship, and adore him?
“Lin Xi! Why are you doing this to ?!”
Ye Fan ntally snapped!
Children of destiny are mostly fragile inside—it’s just that their protagonist’s halo and fortune conceal it.
They seem calm and dignified, like they have everything under control.
But once they lose that halo—tsk tsk!
Just look at Ye Fan now.
“I told you—I had my reasons! Why can’t you understand?!”
Ye Fan was furious!
He couldn’t understand!
And maybe—just maybe—it was because love had turned into hatred!
Lin Xi felt goosebumps rise as Ye Fan stared at her.
His gaze made her shiver, like she was facing a wounded, hungry beast.
“I’ve said all I need to say. If you have anything else to say, wait for the enforcers!”
Sensing danger, Lin Xi turned to leave imdiately.
But would Ye Fan let her go?
Of course not!
Rage surged within him!
Darkness gave him courage!
Ye Fan growled in a hoarse voice: “You don’t want to know who’s targeting your Lin family?!”
Once, Ye Fan had been a bright, handso youth.
But now—his entire presence was gloomy and terrifying.
His eyes were like those of a wounded beast.
“The show’s about to begin.”
A few hundred ters away,Zhang Chen smiled in the car.
He had spent so long setting this up—now Ye Fan would personally throw himself into ruin.
How thrilling.
Sure enough—even before Ye Fan arrived, several plainclothes enforcers were already stationed inside the milk tea shop.
They pretended to be ordinary custors.
So left midway, and others entered, making the atmosphere look normal.
If Ye Fan’s luck hadn’t been ruined by Zhang Chen.
If his sister Ye Yiyi weren’t critically ill.
If he weren’t so emotionally unstable.
If, if, if…
But this world doesn’t run on ifs.
Ye Fan hadn’t sensed any danger.
The protagonist’s nearly cheat-level intuition was already starting to fail.
Sure enough, as soon as Ye Fan said those words, a few plainclothes enforcers perked up.
anwhile, Zhang Chen continued monitoring everything in the milk tea shop.
So did the Demon-Slaying Division.
And the Jiangdong City Enforcer Bureau.
It was a tight net—Ye Fan had already walked right into it.
“All units, stay alert! Repeat: Do NOT engage yet!”
At the Demon-Slaying Division, Division Chief Wei personally led the operation, with Jiangdong City’s deputy chief enforcer cooperating.
But they didn’t truly care about capturing Ye Fan.
If they wanted that, they could’ve arrested him at the hospital.
What they wanted was to find the mastermind behind the scenes.
That was the true mission, from Demon-Slaying Division headquarters.
Back in the milk tea shop, Lin Xi stood frozen at Ye Fan’s words.
“You… what did you just say?”
Ye Fan’s expression was sinister far more uncomfortable to look at than Zhang Chen’s forr self.
He sneered, “Don’t you want to know who’s been secretly targeting the Lin family?”
“Who?!”
Of course, Lin Xi wanted to know.
She desperately wanted to know who could be so vicious.
Ye Fan smirked but didn’t answer.
In truth, he hadn’t intended to do this.
But now, he was being forced.
“Ye Fan! Tell , who is it?!”
“You want to know? Fine! But you’ll have to do a favor!”
People all have two sides.
A thought can lead to salvation—or damnation.
Ye Fan was human, too, and naturally had his dark side.
Children of destiny can be even darker than many villains.
It’s just that their protagonist’s aura makes them look righteous.
“Favor? What kind of favor?”
Lin Xi instinctively took two steps back.
Her female intuition scread danger, but her desire for the truth was just as strong.
So she hesitated and asked, “What do you want to do?”
“It’s simple. Just a small effort for you!”
Ye Fan’s sinister look vanished, replaced by a warm, sunny smile.
Too bad.
Lin Xi no longer believed him. She didn’t co closer.
Instead, she asked warily, “What is it?”
“There are too many people here. Co closer, and I’ll tell you.”
“Say it. I can hear you.”
Not just Lin Xi, the plainclothes enforcers and the Demon-Slaying Division agents were all eager to hear, too!
Especially Division Chief Wei.
He was under imnse pressure.
If he couldn’t find the mastermind, HQ would hold him accountable.
But no one noticed another group was watching all this unfold.
Correction—Zhang Chen knew.
From the mont it began, Xing Lingyun had vanished from his side.
No one else had noticed.
But no matter how well those people hid, they couldn’t escape Zhang Chen’s eyes and ears.
Back in the shop, Ye Fan saw Lin Xi’s resistance and wariness, which only made him angrier.
A child of destiny could never tolerate being rejected by the woman he loved!
That finally sealed his resolve!
“Lin Xi! You forced to do this!”
Ye Fan roared in his heart!
Then he pulled out a half-finished new drug syringe, the one Zhang Chen had disguised and given to him.
At that mont, Zhang Chen saw it and smiled.
Division Chief Wei saw it on the monitor, his pupils constricting.
Even Lin Hongyang, hiding in the shadows, couldn’t keep his expression from changing slightly.
“Inject this into yourself—and I’ll tell you!”
Ye Fan laughed!
A twisted, almost deranged laugh!
