Fan Zhiwei's scalp tingled, his eyes filled with fear and unease!
Inside the Fan family restaurant, it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop!
Fan Zhiwei's son, Fan Pengcheng, was studying abroad in Britain!
And he was even protected by bodyguards!
How could he have been kidnapped?
Fan Zhigang signaled his second brother to put the call on speakerphone and whispered, "Don't harm my kin. How much do you want? We can transfer it to your account now!"
"Uncle, save me, save me!" Fan Pengcheng cried out loudly on the other end of the phone!
A cold voice came from the phone, "Mr. Fan, I apologize, but our actions are not for wealth!"
Fan Zhigang whispered, "What exactly do you want?"
The other party chuckled, "Mr. Fan, you seem to have forgotten an agreement you made!"
Fan Zhigang shivered, "Are you Chen Nan's people?"
"Indeed!" The other party was blunt. "Mr. Chen specifically instructed you to go to Panggu Town at eight o'clock today and wear mourning clothes for Xie Qiang!"
"If you cannot arrive by eight o'clock, we will kill one Fan family descendant every half hour!"
"Fan Pengcheng is the first!"
"Don't worry, my knife is fast. I guarantee Fan Pengcheng won't feel the slightest pain!"
The next moment, Fan Pengcheng's heart-wrenching screams echoed from the phone, "Don't kill me, don't kill me, ah..."
The screams abruptly stopped!
Followed by a dull thud!
As if something heavy had fallen onto the wooden floor!
"Did you hear that? My knife is sharp!" The man's voice came from the phone again. "Mr. Fan, if you don't want to see your kin die one after another, you'd best bring your family and wear mourning clothes to Panggu Town!"
"That's all I have to say. I hope you'll take care of yourself!"
Beep, beep, beep!
The call was hung up!
Inside the Fan family restaurant, silence reigned supreme!
Everyone's faces were ashen!
The shock in their hearts lingered long after!
Fan Pengcheng was studying abroad in Britain!
But... how could Chen Nan's people find him so easily?
If they could find him across the ocean, then surely the clansmen in Bingcheng were all under Chen Nan's surveillance?
A cold chill crept into everyone's hearts!
"Big brother, what should we do?"
Fan Zhiwen asked fearfully, "Are we really going to wear mourning clothes and see off that scoundrel?"
Fan Zhigang sat dumbfounded on his chair!
His eyes were vacant!
He looked as if he had aged more than a decade in an instant!
He couldn't accept that Chen Nan could find Fan Pengcheng all the way across the ocean!
After all, ordinary people didn't have such power!
Now, even though they were in the Fan family's residence!
He felt an illusion!
As if countless pairs of eyes were secretly watching their every move!
He had no doubt that another clansman would be cruelly murdered by Chen Nan's men within half an hour!
"Prepare the plane. Everyone except those abroad, come with me to Panggu Town!" Fan Zhigang made a decisive decision, intending to lead his kin to Panggu Town!
Bingcheng was more than three hours' drive from Panggu Town!
This time, while seemingly not long!
It could cost the lives of their kin!
Therefore, taking a plane was the fastest way!
Fan Ruyan asked incredulously, "Dad, are we really going to see off that scoundrel?"
Fan Zhigang shot her an angry look, "I hope you'll shut your mouth right now!"
"Yes, you'd better not say a single word!"
"The Fan family has fallen to this state entirely because of you!"
"After this matter is resolved, I will settle the score with you!"
Fan Ruyan lowered her head in terror!
This was the first time her father had ever gotten angry with her!
The helicopter took off!
It flew towards Panggu Town at the fastest speed!
On the way!
Fan Zhiwei received another call from his daughter!
Then...
There was no "then"!
His daughter, who was in Germany, had also met a tragic end!
In just one morning, he, who had both a son and a daughter, experienced the pain of a parent burying their child twice!
And all of this was caused by Fan Ruyan!
He really, truly wanted to open the plane's cabin door and push Fan Ruyan out!
At this moment!
Fan Ruyan had transformed from the Fan family's darling into a sinner pointed at by everyone!
------
"They're here, they'll arrive at the town's residents' square in three minutes!"
At Xie Qiang's funeral!
Li Mu whispered to Chen Nan.
Chen Nan asked, "Has the Golden Core cultivator arrived?"
Li Mu sneered, "The Fan family is the number one affluent family in Bingcheng, with a history of hundreds of years. They consider themselves nobility. Do you really think they will wear mourning clothes for Xie Qiang?"
"Their actions are merely to lull you into a false sense of security, thereby temporarily preserving the lives of the Fan family members!"
"Once they arrive, they will definitely kill you at the first opportunity!"
"My life is not something a mere early-stage Golden Core cultivator can take!" Chen Nan said with a hint of disdain, then added, "You keep an eye on the funeral here for me, I'll be right back!"
"Also, tell the suona band to play loudly!"
"It's best not to let the town residents hear the commotion from afar!"
"Go ahead!"
------
The residents' square in Panggu Town was located in the center of the town!
It was about a thousand meters in a straight line from Xie Qiang's house!
When Chen Nan arrived, he saw a luxurious private jet in the distance!
It was currently descending and slowly approaching!
"Dad, it's him!"
"He is Chen Nan!"
On the plane, Fan Ruyan spotted Chen Nan on the ground!
"He's the one who had my children killed?" Fan Zhiwei clenched his fists, his eyes filled with murderous intent!
If looks could kill!
Chen Nan would have been dismembered by his gaze a thousand times over!
Fan Zhigang gritted his teeth and said, "This brat is too arrogant, he insulted the dignity of my Fan family and killed my kin! If he's not ground to ashes, how can my hatred be appeased!"
As he spoke, he looked at the middle-aged man sitting in the back of the cabin, holding a long sword and dozing with his head down, and said nervously, "Elder Qu Yuan, please help my Fan family kill this person later!"
Qu Yuan slowly raised his head, looked at the tall figure on the ground, and sighed, "Your Fan family's retainers are all trash!"
"If they were more capable, I wouldn't have to, a Golden Core stage cultivator, deal with a junior like this!"
"But since Mr. Fan has asked, I will help you kill this brat!"
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
The helicopter appeared above the residents' square!
Then it slowly landed in the open area of the square!
As the cabin door opened, Fan Zhigang, with his kin, walked out with tense expressions!
Without exception!
Everyone looked at Chen Nan with eyes filled with awe, and resentment!
Chen Nan said calmly, "The one on the plane, don't come out!"
"We have never met, and we have no enmity!"
"I do not wish to harm the innocent!"
As he spoke, all the Fan family members gasped in shock!
Fan Ruyan was furious, "Chen, that is a Golden Core stage expert! You are like an ant before him. Who gave you the guts to say that?"
"I'd like to see how you intend to harm me!" Qu Yuan sneered as he walked down from the plane!
