The sound of sirens grew louder as police cars and ambulances arrived at the Old Goods Pier.

Under Lin Fan’s care, Ye Tianyu managed to survive and was lifted onto the ambulance by the rushing medical staff.

Now, both the Masked Woman and the Tang Sect trio knew the money was in Lin Fan’s hands, so Ye Tianyu no longer held any value for them, and no one would come to abduct him again.

As Ye Tianyu was being loaded onto the ambulance, he briefly regained consciousness, saw Lin Fan, and immediately showed a joyful expression.

"Mr. Lin..." he weakly called out to Lin Fan, "Thank you, I know it’s you who saved me once again."

Lin Fan smiled and said, "You’ve already escaped the jaws of death twice. No one will pursue you again. Don’t think of running away anymore, stay in prison peacefully until your sentence is over."

Unsure if from sorrow or gratitude, tears welled up in Ye Tianyu’s eyes. He said, "Mr. Lin, about the money..."

Lin Fan replied, "Don’t worry, I’ll help you return the money to Li Zixia, but I need you to do one thing, help me find Li Zixia and save me some effort."

Ye Tianyu smiled and said, "Yes, I will."

Soon after, Ye Tianyu was carried away in the ambulance.

Loli, with the help of her colleagues, escorted the two men into the police car, and after receiving simple treatment for her wounds, came to Lin Fan’s side.

"You said you’re leaving Yun City for a few days. I want to go with you," said Loli, unable to leave Lin Fan to go alone.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "No need, I can handle this alone. Don’t worry, nothing will happen. I’ll be back soon."

In public, Loli was too embarrassed to throw herself into Lin Fan’s arms, so she reached out to hold his hand and apologetically said, "I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have asked for your help that day."

That day, when Ye Tianyu escaped from prison, Loli had no leads and asked Lin Fan to help find him, which led to the subsequent events.

On one hand, she was grateful to Lin Fan, because without him, this case likely wouldn’t have been solved. It was their first time dealing with people from the Hidden Sect, and without Lin Fan’s involvement, Ye Tianyu would have been taken by either the Tang Sect or the Masked Woman, and most likely not fallen into police hands.

On the other hand, she felt sorry for Lin Fan, as she caused such a big trouble for him, and now he had to take risks against the Hidden Sect.

Lin Fan laughed, touched her cheek, and said, "You’re my woman, who else would I help but you?"

Loli’s eyes reddened, feeling touched, and tears welled up in her eyes. Ignoring the gaze of others, she threw herself into Lin Fan’s arms, holding him tightly. "Promise me, you’ll come back safe!"

Lin Fan smiled: "I promise you."

After that, Loli left with the police team, and soon, the police cars and ambulances departed, leaving Lin Fan alone at the scene.

After watching them leave, Lin Fan went to a nearby dilapidated building, pulled up a roller door, revealing his Rolls-Royce parked inside.

The Masked Woman sat slumped in the passenger seat, struggling with difficulty, still not giving up on breaking Lin Fan’s restraints.

Seeing Lin Fan return, the Masked Woman’s eyes showed despair and anger.

As soon as Lin Fan got in the car, she glared at him with eyes full of fury, as if her gaze was capable of killing him.

Lin Fan ignored her, started the car, and drove away from the Old Goods Pier.

"Hey, Yue’er, let the board know I’m on a business trip for a few days. If the company has any issues, let the executives solve them first. If they can’t, then contact me," Lin Fan called Wei Yue’er.

Wei Yue’er, a bit surprised, asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Lin Fan smiled and said, "I’m fine, I’ll be back in a few days."

After giving instructions, Lin Fan hung up the phone.

The Masked Woman sneered from the side: "You think you’ll come back? Dream on, I suggest you make your final arrangements."

Lin Fan chuckled: "Since you’re so eager for me to die, why not quickly tell me where to find your sect, save me the trouble of doing it myself."

The Masked Woman snorted: "What are you planning to do if I don’t tell you?"

Lin Fan said, "You can imagine, I might do anything. Of course, this first depends on your face; if you’re pretty, I’ll do more; if you’re not, I’ll do less. So, I’ll first remove the mask and see your face."

Hearing this, the Masked Woman, unsure of what she was thinking, blushed behind her mask and cursed, "Scoundrel, rotten scoundrel, dead scoundrel!"

Lin Fan wasn’t angry at all: "Have you cursed enough? If so, I’ll take action."

Fearing he might remove her mask, the Masked Woman held back her anger and coldly snorted: "Since you’re in such a hurry to die, I’ll tell you. If you want to go to my sect, head to Southern Yunnan first, then I’ll tell you."

Lin Fan was stunned: "Southern Yunnan? From here, it’s at least 3000 miles, isn’t it?"

The Masked Woman said, "If you think it’s too far, you can skip it. Just give me the money, saves time and effort."

Lin Fan said, "That won’t do. I’d rather make the arduous journey, but when I arrive, I’ll ask your sect to reimburse the fuel cost."

The Masked Woman broke into a cold sweat, is this guy really the richest man in Yun City, asking her sect to cover fuel costs?

Hmph! No matter, they might not reach Southern Yunnan. She didn’t believe she wouldn’t have an opportunity to escape along the way!

Right away, Lin Fan used his phone to navigate the route, heading toward Southern Yunnan. According to the navigation, it’s indeed around 3000 miles, taking about 16 hours.

Lin Fan had never traveled so far in his life. Southern Yunnan is in Southwest Huaxia, and as far as Lin Fan understood, it’s a place of towering mountains and complex terrain, a good hiding spot for the Hidden Sect.

"By the way, what’s your sect called?" Lin Fan asked.

The Masked Woman, finding it tedious to hide, avoiding Lin Fan’s mask attempts, said: "Yun Sect."

Lin Fan asked, "What’s your name?"

The Masked Woman glanced at him and said, "Do you really need to know my name?"

Lin Fan coughed: "The mask..."

The Masked Woman really wanted to punch Lin Fan, helplessly said, "Yun Qingyao."

"Yun Qingyao. That’s a nice name, a bit like a heroine, but you’re not a heroine, you’re a malicious secondary villain," Lin Fan shook his head.

The Masked Woman was incensed: "You! Nonsense! Hmph, I don’t want to talk to you anymore!"

Lin Fan said, "Your surname is Yun; your sect is called Yun Sect. So, you’re from a family? What’s your status in the clan?"

The Masked Woman said, "You could say that, I’m just a member with no real status."

Lin Fan looked into her eyes and said, "Do you know why they say eyes are the windows to the soul? Because through your eyes, one can see into your heart, they reflect your true feelings."

The Masked Woman frowned: "What are you saying?"

Lin Fan said, "I’m saying you just lied."

Yun Qingyao was shocked. Damn, is Lin Fan really that perceptive, catching her lie so easily?

Lin Fan said, "I’ll let it go this time, but no more next time, or your mask won’t be safe. Now, tell me more about your sect..."
