He even regretted it; he had intended to claim a reward for Lu Fan's head, but now disaster seemed imminent.
The other snipers fired in succession, their gunshots echoing through the odd-angled tower. Within seconds, the sounds ceased, and leaves fluttered down.
Before Qin Hai could leave, Lu Fan blocked his path. "Where do you think you're going?"
"You..."
Looking at Lu Fan, Qin Hai's throat felt parched, and he retreated continuously. "I am a direct descendant of the Qin family. If you harm me, the Qin family will surely not let you off!"
"So what if you are a direct descendant?" Lu Fan's expression was indifferent. "The head of the Qin family is but an ant before me!"
Qin Hai was terrified, his legs growing weak. He wanted to strike, but for some reason, he felt no strength at all.
*Bang...*
A gunshot rang out. The sharp-mouthed man, holding his gun, his smug eyes suddenly turned heavy. A leaf, like an arrow released from a bowstring, pierced him directly.
He had thought Lu Fan was careless, but he never expected to meet his end here.
Gazing at the demon king before him, Qin Hai fell to his knees with a thud. "As long as you spare my life, I will owe you no resentment, even if I have to serve you like an ox or a horse!"
"The Lu family was annihilated; did you show them any mercy?"
Lu Fan said coldly, and in a flash, he took Qin Hai's life.
The feud between families was irreconcilable, not to mention Qin Hai's attempt to assassinate him.
Returning to Taikang Pharmaceuticals, Lu Fan acted as if nothing had happened.
"Mr. Lu, Manager Lin from the sales department asked you to go to the conference room!" Manager Chen said. "It seems to be about the endorsement of the spiritual liquid!"
"Spiritual liquid endorsement?" Lu Fan asked with slight surprise and walked towards the conference room.
In the conference room, Yang Xiaofei looked solemn, with Director Liu sitting beside her.
"I have already prepared the contract!" Lin Ke smiled. "I was planning to send it to you, but I didn't expect you to come in person!"
"I am overjoyed to become the spokesperson for Taikang Pharmaceuticals!" Yang Xiaofei smiled. "That's why I took the liberty to visit!"
"That would be wonderful!" Lin Ke smiled. "We couldn't ask for more!"
Just then, the conference room door was pushed open, and Lu Fan walked in.
"Mr. Lu!" Director Liu quickly stood up. "I came here today to sign the contract!"
"Lin Ke, you are in charge of this matter!" Lu Fan said directly. "I have some things to handle recently, so I'll leave the company matters to you!"
"Brother Lu Fan, don't be in such a hurry to leave!" Lin Ke quickly said. "After all, they came specifically to cooperate. As the chairman of Taikang Pharmaceuticals, shouldn't you show some appreciation!"
"Ahem, alright then!" Lu Fan nodded. "Tonight at eight o'clock, at Phoenix Restaurant, my treat, as a toast to our successful cooperation!"
"How dare I let Mr. Lu bear the expense!" Director Liu said quickly. "This meal is my treat. It is our honor to have Mr. Lu attend!"
"That doesn't matter!" Lu Fan shrugged.
Originally, he didn't care about such minor matters, but since Lin Ke wanted to get closer to Yang Xiaofei, he couldn't obstruct them.
After discussing for a while in the conference room, Director Liu and the other person left the company.
As soon as they got into the car, Director Liu exclaimed happily, "Xiaofei, this is a rare opportunity. If you can win Mr. Lu's favor, you won't have to worry about anything in the future! Being able to make the Qin family's industries collapse overnight, that's quite a feat!"
"How could someone like him be within my reach!" Yang Xiaofei gave a wry smile. "It's already the best outcome to know him!"
"You are so beautiful and a popular star; there's still a chance!" Director Liu chuckled. "It all depends on how you seize it!"
At Phoenix Restaurant, Yang Xiaofei had changed into a new dress and was waiting outside the restaurant, attracting considerable attention.
Yang Xiaofei was a popular star, and her waiting at the restaurant entrance would definitely cause a stir.
"Xiaofei, it's so cold outside, why are you standing at the entrance!"
As soon as Xiao Qi got out of the car, he shouted thoughtlessly, glancing at Lu Fan at the same time.
He used to feel no pressure around Lu Fan, but upon learning that Lu Fan was his superior, he felt quite intimidated.
"Mr. Lu is a distinguished guest, so naturally, I wouldn't dare to be negligent!"
Yang Xiaofei smiled lightly and led the way.
Arriving at the main table, Yang Xiaofei sat down politely. The table was already filled with dishes.
"So many dishes!" Lin Ke smiled. "It seems we're going to have a feast today, and Ms. Yang, the star, is treating!"
"That's right!" Xiao Qi nodded. "It's still because of Lu Fan's influence!"
Not far from the main table, a man and a woman sat at a dining table, accompanied by two bodyguards, looking quite imposing.
"Miss Bai, there's no problem with this contract!" the young man with dyed hair said with a smile. "It's truly a pleasure to cooperate with Miss Bai!"
"Thank you for your praise, Young Master Li!" Bai Xue offered a sweet smile.
On the other side, Lu Fan's gaze swept over Bai Xue, and he was slightly surprised to see her there.
"Brother Lu Fan, who are you looking at?" Lin Ke glanced over. "You seem so engrossed!"
"A friend!" Lu Fan smiled. "I'll go say hello after we finish eating!"
"Someone who can be Mr. Lu's friend must be an extraordinary person!" Yang Xiaofei smiled lightly. "After all, Mr. Lu himself is no ordinary person!"
"From now on, you will also be my friend!" Lu Fan said directly. "As long as the friendship is genuine, anyone can become my friend!"
"Really?"
Yang Xiaofei's face lit up with excitement. She naturally wanted to get close to someone like Lu Fan.
"Of course, it's true!" Lu Fan nodded. His gaze shifted towards Bai Xue's direction, only to see that Bai Xue was gone.
Seeing that the person had left, the man with dyed hair slipped a white substance into Bai Xue's cup.
"As long as she drinks this medicine, Young Master will be able to have Miss Bai!" a bodyguard chuckled. "She'll be the Bai family's son-in-law from now on!"
The man with dyed hair looked smug. This contract signing was not originally his to handle; it was merely a setup he had orchestrated.
"I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting!" Bai Xue emerged from the restroom.
"It's alright!" the man with dyed hair smiled. "Drink this glass of juice! It would be a waste not to!"
Bai Xue nodded politely and was about to pick up the juice when a voice called out from behind, "This juice has been drugged!"
The man with dyed hair abruptly stood up and glared at Lu Fan. "What nonsense are you spouting, kid?"
"Mr. Lu?" Bai Xue looked slightly surprised, glancing at the juice in her hand.
"I'm not spouting nonsense!" Lu Fan shrugged. "I saw it with my own eyes just now!"
"Young Master Li, what's going on?" Bai Xue looked sharply at the man with dyed hair. "Mr. Lu would never lie to me!"
"Miss Bai, it's true that something was put in this juice. I just wanted to speed things up!" the man with dyed hair said directly. "Once we've consummated the marriage, we'll be family, won't we!"
"Who's family with you!" Bai Xue splashed the juice in her hand onto the man with dyed hair's face. "I didn't expect you to be so shameless!"
The man with dyed hair's face turned ashen, and he glared at Lu Fan. "You're looking for death, kid!"
The man with dyed hair stepped forward to attack but was sent sprawling to the ground by Lu Fan's kick. The two bodyguards beside him also prepared to move, but they were no match for Lu Fan.
After being beaten down, the man with dyed hair roared, "You just wait! Tonight, you'll regret it!"
