"Then I’ll leave first!"
With this teardrop-shaped diamond in his possession, Lin Fan had no choice but to depart.
Feng Xiaoxiao accompanied him all the way to the door, but she wrapped her arms around Lin Fan’s waist and leaned her dark hair against his chest.
"Husband, I will study hard. Once I succeed in my studies, I can be your right-hand woman."
"Actually, you don’t need to work so hard."
Gently stroking Feng Xiaoxiao’s dark hair, Lin Fan said lovingly.
"But I don’t want to just be a trophy wife."
Feng Xiaoxiao raised her head to look at Lin Fan: "Qingyi once told that you’re a dragon destined to soar through the skies, while my little cleverness is rely a few petty tricks. If it continues like this, I can’t always stay by your side. At most, I can just be your leisure companion, which is already quite nice, but I’m still a bit unsatisfied. I really don’t want to miss this opportunity."
"Thank you."
Feng Xiaoxiao’s words deeply moved Lin Fan; he could see her effort.
"I’m your wife; how can we use words like ’thank you’ between us?"
Feng Xiaoxiao teased with a smile, "Go ahead and take care of your things. I will learn everything there is to know, and then we can venture the world together."
"Alright, I believe in your EQ; taking down that eccentric Old Man Jiang will be easy for you."
Pinching Feng Xiaoxiao’s nose, after a long kiss, they finally parted.
Watching as the car disappeared, Feng Xiaoxiao turned and walked into the high-walled courtyard.
"There is a gift left by grandpa at ho!"
Squinting his eyes and holding the steering wheel, Lin Fan thought.
Returning to the Provincial City, he always wanted to visit the old Wu Family residence; after all, even without mories, that was still his root.
But he had been too busy, with hardly any opportunity. Now, finally finding so leisure, he needed to seek traces of his parents.
Following the address given by grandpa earlier, Lin Fan arrived at a serene forest area on the outskirts.
From afar, he could see the rolling high walls encompassing a large area of mountain. Following the winding mountain road upward, he eventually reached the entrance of a cluster of buildings.
"Young master, you have finally returned?"
When Lin Fan drove up to the largest building, the gate opened, and over a dozen spirited n in black stepped out briskly.
The leading man, about in his forties and full of energy, respectfully bowed to him.
"You know ?"
Lin Fan got out of the car, curiously looking at the man.
"I am the head of security for the Wu Family... all these years accompanying the old gentleman, I have been observing you in the shadows... Da Shuang and Little Shuang were also personally trained by , my surna is ng, you can call ng Zhong!"
ng Zhong’s words made Lin Fan frown slightly: "What is ng Hongye to you?"
"She’s my sister!"
ng Zhong’s response stunned Lin Fan.
By this account, he was his brother-in-law indeed.
"Is Hong Ye doing well at the Southern Border?"
Lin Fan’s inquiry, however, received no answer: "Hong Ye is on a mission, and every mission is top secret. Even as her elder brother, I cannot inquire freely, but I believe in the old gentleman’s arrangents."
"Alright."
Unexpectedly, the operation was so clandestine; Lin Fan didn’t ask further.
He then changed the subject: "I heard grandpa left so treasure, so I ca back specifically to see it. I wonder what it is?"
"The treasure is right in front of you!"
ng Zhong stood up straight as the others all puffed out their chests: "We are the power grandpa left for you in the Provincial City. With just an order from you, we will sacrifice our lives without regret!"
