171: Chapter 171: Pursuing the Bandits
When Lin Yifan chastised the Knife Gang, they undoubtedly wouldn’t let bygones be bygones.
When the ti ca and the Knife Gang showed up at his doorstep, what should he do?
Hiring security was useless, and given his current identity, he couldn’t stay in the office all day; so who would ensure the safety of the company’s employees?
Who would ensure Su Qingqing’s safety?
Lin Yifan thought it through from all angles but couldn’t co up with a suitable thod or candidate; eventually, he found himself at a restaurant without realizing it.
Sitting in the chair, he ate his al while chatting with Su Qingqing about the financing that afternoon.
When Su Qingqing heard that more than fifty company CEOs were going to invest fifty million, she was incredibly surprised; then, she asked, “Is this for real?”
“Do I look like soone who would lie to you?” Lin Yifan countered.
“So you’re saying that the company’s assets are going to turn into over three billion?” Su Qingqing asked in surprise, sowhat disbelieving the fact.
Today, the company’s assets were barely three hundred million, but next week they were set to break through three billion—it was truly more fantastical than a dream.
“Unless sothing unexpected happens, that should be the case,” Lin Yifan answered with a smile.
He too was very satisfied with today’s results as it was a big step closer to five billion.
“Yes!
That’s great!
With this money, we can expand our operations,” Su Qingqing was very happy, now treating the company almost like her own family.
“In the next few days, you should start preparing the contract docunts and the company’s listing process, and be absolutely ticulous,” Lin Yifan instructed.
“OK!” Su Qingqing made a gesture indicating her understanding.
After chatting for a while longer, Lin Yifan then drove Su Qingqing ho.
On the drive ho, he felt increasingly that soone was needed to protect the company; this person had to be extraordinary, capable of fighting dozens alone, ideally a Cultivator; but in this vast city, where could he find one?
Just as he was deep in thought, cries of “Robbery!
Robbery!” ca from the sidewalk next to him.
Lin Yifan turned his head towards the sidewalk and saw two fashionably dressed won chasing a skinny man in a hat and black jacket.
Seeing this, Lin Yifan imdiately stepped on the gas and chased after him.
It only took three seconds for him to catch up with the robber who was fleeing the scene of the cri.
Since a row of trees separated the sidewalk from the road, he couldn’t drive up to intercept the robber; therefore, he had to drive past and take the risk of getting a ticket to park his car on the side of the road; then he got out to intercept the thief running his way.
The short robber, seeing soone blocking the path ahead, imdiately changed his direction and veered left into an alley.
Seeing the robber changing direction, Lin Yifan imdiately charged after him.
With his speed, he easily caught up with the skinny robber; but the alley was narrow and littered with obstacles; the skinny robber took advantage of this, consistently tossing things in the way to create many troubles.
Lin Yifan kept moving these obstacles aside in a determined chase.
Finally, after a hundred ters, he successfully subdued the skinny robber.
After retrieving the stolen purse, he began to fiercely beat the skinny robber.
“Bang!
Bang!
Bang!”
Continuously delivering harsh kicks, the robber dressed in a black jacket couldn’t take it anymore, so he pleaded, “Big brother, stop hitting !
How about we make a deal?”
“What could a robber possibly have that would catch my interest?” Lin Yifan found the robber sowhat amusing.
“I do!
I have a gambling ticket in my hand worth ten thousand yuan, with odds of 20 to 1; I bet on the least favored competitor, and if he wins, you will have two hundred thousand yuan.” the skinny robber replied.
When he had placed the bet, he had gritted his teeth and staked all of his savings; he clearly wanted to take a chance, to turn a bicycle into a motorcycle.
Thus, this gambling ticket was his entire fortune, his most precious possession.
“Since it’s on the least favored competitor, your gambling ticket is nothing more than a piece of waste paper.” Lin Yifan sneered, as he was not foolish enough to fall for the opponent’s trick.
“It’s not waste paper; I believe that Master Yi Chen can definitely KO the Sailor King.” the skinny robber argued.
Master Yi Chen was a boxer he had been following lately, from the first match to now.
Master Yi Chen had never lost; therefore, he believed that Master Yi Chen could definitely defeat the strongest opponent in history—the Sailor King.
The Sailor King was a long-fad boxing champion who had never lost a match since his debut and held the unbeaten record in the boxing world, extrely impressive.
“Master Yi Chen?” Upon hearing this na, Lin Yifan suddenly rembered soone, the bald cultivator Yi Chen who had robbed him at the 24-hour self-service bank.
“Could it be him?” Lin Yifan wondered, then beca interested and asked, “Show
the gambling ticket.”
The robber, wearing a hat, imdiately produced the gambling ticket for Lin Yifan to see, not daring to delay.
After receiving the gambling ticket, Lin Yifan scrutinized it and discovered that the Master Yi Chen ntioned by the robber was indeed the bald robber Yi Chen who had robbed him at the 24-hour self-service bank.
“Wow!
I was just thinking about finding a capable security guard, and here one is delivered to my doorstep so quickly, what luck!” Lin Yifan was thrilled, imnsely happy.
However, he was unaware that behind his happiness lurked a deadly threat.
At that mont, the robber in the black jacket had already drawn a fruit knife, the tool he used for his cris, and in the next second, with a cold expression, he rcilessly stabbed forward, “Die!”
This gambling ticket was his entire fortune, his ans to turn his life around; how could he possibly hand it over to soone else just like that.
Hearing the vicious voice beside him, Lin Yifan imdiately beca alert; feeling a dangerous, rapid approach from behind, he quickly activated his cultivation power to protect his back.
“Bang!”
The fruit knife, as if striking hard iron, made a clear sound.
The skinny, cunning robber widened his eyes disbelief at the scene, completely stunned, “How…how is this possible?”
“Hmph!
Shocked, aren’t you?
You should see who you’re dealing with before playing dirty tricks!” With a cold laugh, Lin Yifan swiftly seized the fruit knife and without hesitation, stabbed the skinny robber to death.
If others don’t offend , I won’t offend them; but if they do, I surely will.
Lin Yifan always had no rcy for those who tried to kill him; this was a habit forged on the battlefield.
No sooner had he killed a man than more people arrived.
At that mont, two won, stumbling and cautiously stepping over the chaotic debris on the path, walked towards him.
Watching the two won, Lin Yifan was slightly startled because he recognized soone.
The two won, seeing him, were also shocked.
