Xu Fan followed the review of the hotel guest list…
Suddenly, his gaze sharpened, and among a long list of names, he saw two familiar ones.
Xu Qiyin.
Huang Yechun.
A trace of murderous intent emerged in Xu Fan’s heart in an instant, and inadvertently, his aura leaked out, causing the temperature in the interrogation room to drop rapidly, making Luo Guang, sitting beside him, break out in goosebumps involuntarily.
Is this even human?
To actually affect the temperature!
Luo Guang’s look changed.
But Xu Fan was deep in thought…
Xu Qiyin and Huang Yechun actually staying at the Weisen Yue Hotel, now wasn’t that a little too coincidental?
Giving Xu Qiyin’s style, if he ever stayed out, nothing but five-star hotels would do, and it had to be the presidential suite at that.
Yet the Weisen Yue Hotel was a notch below even a four-star hotel, so how could Xu Qiyin possibly stay there? And it was right opposite the Shengshi Hotel, both time and place fitting perfectly, plus both of them had a strained relationship with Xu Fan and had enough power to orchestrate this event.
Luo Guang glanced at the list and noticed nothing, then turned his head towards Xu Fan, saying, “Mr. Xu Fan, what do you think? See any familiar names? Generally speaking, the likelihood of acquaintances committing the crime is rather high.”
Xu Fan’s face had turned gloomy.
Luo Guang immediately understood; he had hit the nail on the head.
Xu Fan scanned the list again and was about seventy to eighty percent certain, swirling with intent to kill.
Originally, he hadn’t planned on dealing with Xu Qiyin, even though this guy came to Zhonghai with impure motives and ill intentions towards himself, but for the sake of his cousin, Xu Fan didn’t want to make a scene.
After all, he still didn’t have the power to go back to the family and investigate the true cause of his father’s death, and he would avoid conflicts with family members as much as possible.
Yet, unexpectedly, Xu Qiyin didn’t come at him but instead targeted Xu Yixue, how could he tolerate this?
It could be said that he was thoroughly infuriated, and this was something he could not forgive.
However, as this was ultimately a family matter, Xu Fan didn’t want to make it public, so he said, “I’ll resolve this matter myself, there’s no need to trouble you.”
“All right then,” Luo Guang felt relieved, glad to save some hassle, yet he still said generously, “If you need help, don’t hesitate to ask.”
“Thank you. I’ll be taking my leave for today,” Xu Fan gave him a slight smile.
To prevent further complications, Xu Fan planned to eliminate Xu Qiyin as soon as possible, otherwise, that guy would continue to stir up trouble, and Huang Yechun was not to be underestimated in strength either; if they decided to make trouble and continued to target Xinghai Media, then Xu Dan alone simply wouldn’t be enough.
From this incident, Xu Fan also came to a realization, even his cousin Xu Qiyin was so ruthless in his methods, what about other enemies? Wouldn’t they be even more ruthless?
He had made up his mind, no more holding back, only by eliminating the hidden dangers completely could he have peace of mind.
Luo Guang nodded and escorted him out of the interrogation room.
Xu Fan hailed a taxi outside the police station and headed back to Xinghai Media. On the way, he called Sun Lihua and Brother Long respectively, informing them about Xu Qiyin and Huang Yechun, asking them to have someone keep an eye on their movements.
Moreover, both Xu and Huang were still in the dark, thinking they were operating in secret without any guard up, naturally leaving no trace.
It didn’t take long for Xu Fan to find out where they were.
…
Inside the presidential suite of Jun Tian Grand Hotel.
Xu Qiyin paced back and forth with a troubled look on his face.
Ever since leaving Weisen Yue Hotel, his mood had been far from good. Huang Yechun had contacted the family earlier and was now listening to the family’s response on the phone.
The phone call lasted a few minutes. After Huang Yechun put away his phone, he approached Xu Qiyin and cautiously said, “Young Master Yan, there’s something unusual…”
Xu Qiyin was already braced for bad news and asked coldly, “What exactly happened?”
“The family has no business or influence here in Zhonghai.”
Huang Yechun spoke with a hint of confusion, “So the family reached out to a partner in business, a prominent family in Zhonghai City. Only then did we find out that Xu Fan was not arrested; just ten minutes ago, he left the police station and got into a taxi.”
“Damn it!”
Xu Qiyin cursed angrily, “Why? Why, damn it? How come he, a mere cast-off of a family, banished to Zhonghai City, now walks free after committing murder? Could it be that Xu Fan didn’t kill anyone?”
“That’s impossible, body bags are used to carry corpses.”
Huang Yechun shook his head in denial, “And Xu Fan admitted to the fact. They say when he was about to be handcuffed, he had Luo Guang make a phone call. We don’t know the content of the call, but afterwards, Luo Guang’s attitude toward Xu Fan changed 180 degrees. Not only did he give up arresting Xu Fan, but he also eagerly helped him investigate the incident.”
“How did it come to this?”
Xu Qiyin’s face turned sour, and he kicked over the sofa in frustration.
In his opinion, Xu Fan was getting off too easily for this incident.
Such an outcome was of course unacceptable to Xu Qiyin.
“Old Huang, who do you think that phone call was made to? The Sun Family or Lu Chenbing?” Xu Qiyin speculated resentfully.
After pondering for a moment, Huang Yechun nodded, “That should be about right. The intelligence says Xu Fan has good relations with these two families, often meeting and visiting them. This matter is rather big, and if Xu Fan personally asked for help, they likely couldn’t refuse because of emotional ties.”
“It seems they’re asking for it,” a vicious glint flashed in Xu Qiyin’s eyes.
However, Huang Yechun didn’t follow his lead and instead analyzed calmly, “The Sun Family still has some strength. Although they can’t compare with the Xu Family, one of the four major families in Yan Country, they’re still quite influential within the second tier. Sun Jin’an, that old fox, used to appear frequently on CCTV news last century, and even though many years have passed, his influence remains. If we launch an attack on the Sun Family now, the consequences may not be desirable; perhaps we should wait…”
“Enough,” Xu Qiyin cut him off with a cold gesture. His face twitched, “I can’t swallow this insult. If you don’t want to take action, then let’s just call it quits and part ways. How about that?”
A flicker of anger passed through Huang Yechun’s eyes, indicating he was also losing patience, but with a deep breath, he regained his composure and replied, “If Young Master Yan really wants to vent, how could I possibly object? I’ve already thought of a strategy.”
“Oh? I’m all ears,” Xu Qiyin’s expression finally eased.
“The prominent Zhonghai City family that the family contacted has some oppositional relation with the Sun Family; they have an inevitable competitive relationship.
“The Sun Family is the leading family in Zhonghai City. Does this family you’ve contacted have the strength to fight it out?” Xu Qiyin was not entirely reassured.
“Don’t worry, Young Master Yan, this family’s strength is also quite formidable, not much less than the Sun Family’s,” Huang Yechun looked out the window and spoke deliberately, “It is the Qin Family.”
