Chapter 35 Finally Seeing a Familiar Face

Lin Fan finally saw someone he knew and said to Ji Wudi, "You stay here. I saw Miss Shang.

"Go and ask about the situation!"

Shang Yuegui slowly walked past the food station, taking her time to choose, when Lin Fan suddenly appeared beside her again.

She was startled. "How did you get in here?" Her voice was a little loud.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "To chase you, of course!" His voice wasn't loud, but anyone nearby who was paying attention would have been able to hear him.

There were plenty of young masters in Shanghai pursuing Shang Yuegui!

Shang Yuegui was anxious. "Won't you let go?" This time, her voice was finally lower.

Lin Fan smiled and leaned closer. "Which room is Zhang Xiaolin in?"

Shang Yuegui whispered, "They're in the conference room on the third floor. I heard a big shot is here today.

"They're discussing important matters."

Lin Fan said softly, "Thank you! I owe you a favor.

"In the future, no matter what happens to you, just put it in the newspaper.

"As long as I see it, I will definitely come to help you."

Shang Yuegui asked, "If something really happens to me, I can publish it in the newspaper?"

Lin Fan laughed. "You need to let a lot of people know. After all, I'm not a reporter or an information broker.

"I might not see it, but don't worry, as long as I do see it.

"I will definitely come to save you.

"No matter where you are!"

Shang Yuegui laughed. "The pie you're drawing isn't very round at all.

"If something happens to me, I have to make it known, and then you have to find out about it before you can come!

"But I like it!"

She knew in her heart that what Lin Fan said was probably what he really thought.

If it was just ordinary talk to make a woman happy, of course, he would say something very nice.

But when something really happened, would he help? That was another matter!

Shang Yuegui, as she chose her pastries, raised her orchid finger and gently pointed towards a high place in the northwest direction.

Without any pretense or deliberate action, it was just like a normal person choosing pastries.

Lin Fan looked in the direction she was pointing.

He nodded slightly and then turned back to Ji Wudi.

He whispered, "Are you full?"

Ji Wudi understood that there was work to be done and nodded slightly.

Lin Fan whispered, "I'm going up to the third floor."

Ji Wudi immediately said, "I'll go with you."

This time, Lin Fan firmly disagreed. "You don't need to go up. Wait until you see things get chaotic in here.

"Go out and get our weapons, and then sneak back in.

"Be careful not to be exposed.

"Find an opportunity to meet up with me."

Lin Fan casually put down his wine glass and slowly walked towards the second floor.

He pretended to admire the beauties as he walked towards the second floor.

As he walked upstairs, Lin Fan was secretly surprised. The layout here was very tight.

Even at the corner of the stairs, there was a waiter standing there. It could be said that they were there to serve the guests.

But it wouldn't be wrong to say that they were there for defense.

Lin Fan casually walked up to the second floor through the gaze of these waiters.

On the second-floor corridor, there was a waiter standing every two meters or so.

The service was a little too good.

He walked to the room directly below the conference room on the third floor, and Lin Fan quietly listened for any movement inside.

There were people talking inside this room.

Lin Fan didn't change his pace and continued to walk forward.

After passing two more rooms, he could hear movement in both of them.

Lin Fan was a little anxious, but he didn't show it on his face.

He continued to walk forward as casually as before.

Finally, he found a room where there was no movement. Under the wary eyes of the two waiters, Lin Fan.

In an exaggerated manner, he pretended to listen at the door. He didn't sense anyone in the room.

He gently made a gesture of silence to the two waiters.

Then, under the questioning eyes of the two waiters, he gently pushed open the door and entered the room in a magnanimous manner.

He gently closed the door!

Only then did he quietly breathe a sigh of relief.

This was an ordinary room. Lin Fan didn't dare to turn on the lights. Using the light from the window, he vaguely observed that this seemed to be a woman's room.

He also smelled a hint of powder in the air.

In any case, there was no one in the room!

Lin Fan nimbly moved to the window and looked outside.

With a flash, he slipped out, his fingers hooked on the wall seam above the window.

His toes used the open window for leverage, and his body jumped upwards.

His fingers had already hooked onto the windowsill of the conference room on the third floor.

Lin Fan carefully and slowly pulled his body up.

The curtains of the conference room on the third floor were closed. Standing outside the window, Lin Fan could hear an old voice coming from inside.

"I will not do things for the Japanese.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Chang." The voice was quite old, but it was also full of energy.

"If Shanghai cannot be defended! I am willing to go to Hong Kong!

"As Chinese people, resisting foreign invasions is our duty."

This voice sounded younger, but it was also the voice of a middle-aged man.

A familiar middle-aged man's voice, it was the voice of a local Shanghainese man. "Mr. Zhang! What do you think about this matter?"

Lin Fan could still remember this voice. It was the voice of the Chief of Staff of the Eighty-eighth Division when they spoke across the Suzhou River that day.

No one answered inside.

Was this person the big shot that Shang Yuegui mentioned?

Lin Fan was skeptical. Although the Chief of Staff of a division was considered a high-ranking officer.

But compared to the three tycoons of Shanghai, he was really not as good.

Chief of Staff Zhang Baiting sighed. "Mr. Zhang! Everyone is responsible for the war of resistance!"

Zhang Xiaolin finally said, "If the three of us brothers leave, what will happen to the brothers in Shanghai?

"We can't possibly take all these brothers with us.

"And even if we old men leave, new people will immediately emerge in Shanghai to take our place.

"At that time, can Mr. Chang still ask them to go to Hong Kong as well?

"It's better for us to stay here and do something for Mr. Chang and the country.

"I need to think about this matter."

Lin Fan didn't know who was speaking at first, but when he heard this statement, he immediately confirmed it.

This person was Zhang Xiaolin.

The three tycoons of Shanghai really did what they said when it came to their attitude towards the Japanese.

Huang Jinrong said he wouldn't work for the Japanese, and he really didn't work for the Japanese. He ran off to Hong Kong.

Du Yuesheng ran to Hong Kong and stayed for half a year, then ran to Chongqing.

He never worked for the Japanese.

This Zhang Xiaolin was also like he said now, he didn't go to Hong Kong.

And then he actively cooperated with the Japanese!

Lin Fan carefully listened to the breathing sounds inside.

Apart from the four people who had just spoken, there was also a faint breathing sound.

After confirming again, Lin Fan was sure that there were only five people inside.

Quietly, without making a sound, he moved his body into the room.

Only then did Lin Fan pull out a crack from behind the curtains and look at the world outside.

There were really only five people in the entire conference room.

They were sitting on the south and north sides.

Three men were sitting on the south side, but they were facing away from him, and he couldn't tell who was who.

A man and a woman were sitting on the north side, and both of them were not young.

Lin Fan believed that one of them should be Chief of Staff Zhang Baiting, and he didn't recognize the other one.

The reason he could recognize Zhang Baiting was only because he was wearing a military uniform.

Lin Fan was too familiar with this kind of military uniform. Xie Jinyuan wore this kind of military uniform.

It seemed that the so-called big shot was the woman sitting next to Zhang Baiting.

The seating arrangement clearly looked like a negotiation.

Lin Fan had already imagined it. Zhang Baiting and that woman should be here on behalf of the National Government.

The three tycoons should be representing the martial arts figures in Shanghai.

After seeing the situation clearly, Lin Fan formulated a bold action plan.

Although no one had discovered him, Lin Fan still stood up in a magnanimous manner.

He quickly rushed forward, directly towards the person who had just stated that he would not go to Hong Kong.

When Lin Fan rushed out less than two meters, he was seen by the two people sitting on the north side.

Zhang Baiting was just about to shout.

Lin Fan's voice rang out. "Chief of Staff Zhang, it's best not to make a sound.

"I only have a debt to collect from Zhang Xiaolin.

"If too many people come in, it's inevitable that they'll get physical.

"Even if you're not hurt, it's not good to hurt the flowers and plants."

As he spoke, the three people facing away from Lin Fan all turned their heads and stood up agilely.

Lin Fan recognized them at a glance. These three were the three tycoons of Shanghai: Huang Jinrong, Zhang Xiaolin, and Du Yuesheng.

The three of them were worthy of being able to rise to the level of tycoons. When they saw that Lin Fan had no weapon, not even a knife.

The three of them didn't change their expressions. Huang Jinrong was the oldest of the three.

Du Yuesheng was the most skilled in dealing with people among the three.

Zhang Xiaolin was the best fighter among the three.

He had already raised a chair and smashed it down on Lin Fan.

Du Yuesheng moved his feet and also rushed towards Lin Fan in coordination.

Only Huang Jinrong, who was sixty-nine years old at this time, no longer relied on his fists for strength.

He stood there without moving or shouting.

He had heard Lin Fan speak just now. This person's movements were swift, but his voice was not flustered at all.

Huang Jinrong was afraid of angering this young man, afraid that he would be carrying weapons on his body.

It wouldn't be worth it if he got hurt.

Now he was pampered and precious. It would be too unworthy to die here.

Seeing the chair smashing down, Lin Fan didn't meet it head-on. His feet slid diagonally to the side.

He brushed past the chair. Du Yuesheng's punch was also blocked by the chair that Zhang Xiaolin smashed down.

Even he was separated to Zhang Xiaolin's left.

Lin Fan stretched out his left hand, and a bit of coldness stopped at the back of Zhang Xiaolin's throat.

It stopped at the position of his carotid artery.

Zhang Xiaolin, who had killed countless people in his life, of course understood that if this position was cut, even the King of Heaven wouldn't be able to save him.

Zhang Xiaolin didn't dare to move at all.

Lin Fan said in a low voice, "Don't move, don't shout!

"I said, I'm only here to collect a debt from Mr. Zhang."

As the host, Huang Jinrong was now embarrassed. Lin Fan had rushed out from behind the curtains.

He was afraid that Zhang Xiaolin would misunderstand that he had hidden this person.

He quickly said, "This friend, if you have any debt to collect from my brother.

"Let's put it out and discuss it together."

Du Yuesheng also said, "This brother! You release Brother Zhang, and I guarantee that I won't attack you tonight.

"If you have a debt to collect, tell us, and we'll discuss it."

Du Yuesheng knew. "If you want Zhang Xiaolin not to pursue this matter tonight.

"Unless Lin Fan has a strong background, or he himself is strong enough.

"Otherwise, Zhang Xiaolin will definitely pursue it to the end.

"That's why he said that he would protect Lin Fan tonight.

"This is a very sincere suggestion, and it's something he can do."

Lin Fan noticed that from the time he rushed out until now, the woman opposite him hadn't shown a bit of surprise.

It was as if she knew he would appear.

He didn't reply to Du Yuesheng's suggestion immediately.

Chief of Staff Zhang Baiting also said, "Yes! This brother, if you have any debts, tell us, and we'll discuss it."

The woman sitting next to him looked at Lin Fan. "What did you hear just now?"

Lin Fan smiled. "I don't support, oppose, or inform on your evacuation plan.

"I'm just arresting him to settle a debt.

"Chief of Staff Zhang Baiting and Mr. Du and Mr. Huang want to judge the matter.

"I'll release you and let you judge it properly!"

After saying that, he released Zhang Xiaolin. "If I can release you, I can arrest you, and I can kill you.

"Sit down!"

Du Yuesheng brought back the chair that Zhang Xiaolin had just thrown away.

The woman opposite him watched Lin Fan release Zhang Xiaolin in front of so many people.

She became even more interested in Lin Fan.

She didn't care about the matter between Lin Fan and Zhang Xiaolin. "May I ask this brave man, what is your esteemed name and where do you come from?"

Lin Fan smiled. "I am Lin Fan, the leader of the Chinese Dragon Group.

"I just came in from outside."

Lin Fan made up an organization. He didn't know that in a few years, this Dragon Group would become a world-famous organization.

Lin Fan didn't reveal where he came from, let them guess!

He paused for a moment. "You can also call me: Dragon Head Lin Fan!"

After introducing himself, Lin Fan looked at Zhang Xiaolin.

"Yesterday morning, Cai Qingpi and Wu Ergou of your Four Seas Gang robbed me of one hundred and twenty-nine watches.

"We have found everyone in the Four Seas Gang, and the leader of the Four Seas Gang has also admitted it.

"I'm here today to collect the debt."

When Lin Fan said the words "Four Seas Gang," everyone sitting here understood. This person really came to collect the debt, and he had a good reason to do so.

Yesterday morning, three people with a small leather suitcase were robbed by Zhang Xiaolin's men.

It provoked the three people to commit murder in the street. Out of the twenty-odd members of the Four Seas Gang, only one person was left alive at the scene, and he had been shot in the chest.

It was said that he had pointed out the leader of the Four Seas Gang, which was why he had survived.

The key thing was that this matter was not over. This afternoon, the three people fought with Zhang Xiaolin's men again, killing more than a dozen people.

And they also released a message, telling Zhang Xiaolin to return the goods and pay compensation of one hundred thousand.

Unexpectedly, by the evening, it had already snowballed to three hundred thousand!

Zhang Xiaolin's face was ashen. He had just been restrained before he could even make a move.

He was very unconvinced in his heart!

He said in a muffled voice, "No! There's no such thing!"

If he admitted this matter, those watches would definitely have to be returned.

If he didn't admit it, even if the people present knew the truth, they wouldn't expose him, and this person would have no way to deal with him.

Lin Fan had never imagined that this person would actually deny it.

Zhang Xiaolin's words also surprised Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng.

They knew in their hearts that what this young man said was true.

But since their sworn brother said there was no such thing, they couldn't say anything.

If their sworn brother said there was no such thing, then there was no such thing!

However, everyone was in the martial world. At this time, the two of them didn't speak.

Although they didn't express their attitude, their attitude had actually been revealed.

Of course, Zhang Baiting didn't want to get involved in these matters, and he didn't speak either.

Lin Fan sneered. "Everyone sitting here understands whether this matter is true or not.

"It's normal for you to tell lies with an empty mouth.

"Three-colored tycoons! They were never anything that could be brought to the stage.

"They're just a deformed child that grew out of this place.

"Talk about loyalty? To be honest, it's just a facade that you hang on the outside.

"However, your wishful thinking is wrong!

"It's not up to you now.

"It's up to me. Don't say this matter is true.

"Even if it's false, it's true that I've come to your door.

"You should have done a lot of things like this, right?"

As Lin Fan spoke, Zhang Xiaolin stood up again, punching Lin Fan as he spoke, and opening his mouth to call for people.

The matter to be discussed tonight was too confidential, so they had sent all the bodyguards away.

Those people were in the corridor outside the door. As long as they shouted loudly, people would come in less than a minute.

Zhang Xiaolin's actions didn't exceed the expectations of anyone present.

When Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng let Lin Fan release him just now, they knew in their hearts.

Zhang Xiaolin would definitely make a move.

Everyone had been brothers for decades, who didn't understand who?

They had this in mind when they let Lin Fan let go just now.

They had been brothers for decades, it was no problem to help out at this time!

As long as this person was dealt with, no one in the world would know about this matter.

The reputation of the three tycoons of Shanghai would be even more resounding!

They also thought that Zhang Xiaolin had been careless just now, so they gave him a chance to try again.

The two people sitting opposite him obviously didn't expect such a change.

They sat quietly opposite each other, watching everything that happened clearly.

Lin Fan, who was sitting like Zhang Xiaolin, only started to get up when Zhang Xiaolin made a move.

This person who called himself Dragon Head Lin Fan was obviously very young, but his movements were slow.

He slowly raised his hand and slowly made a move.

Every movement was so clear and obvious.

Zhang Xiaolin was obviously older, and his movements looked much faster.

But what actually happened was that Lin Fan's slow movements were a little faster than Zhang Xiaolin's fast movements.

The left hand that was stretched out slowly accurately covered Zhang Xiaolin's mouth.

He was unable to make a sound or breathe.

The other hand met Zhang Xiaolin's fist.

This time, not only Zhang Baiting and He Xiangning, who were sitting opposite them, saw a bit of reflection between the fingers of Lin Fan's right fist.

Even Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng, who were sitting next to Zhang Xiaolin, saw the glint of light coming from between Lin Fan's right knuckles.

Zhang Xiaolin only felt that the bones of his fist were broken. He could clearly hear.

A crisp sound came from his fist. It seemed that the bones in his fist were really broken.

Then, a burst of piercing pain came.

Zhang Xiaolin's fist had hit the tip of the key in Lin Fan's hand.

Before Zhang Xiaolin could cry out in pain, the key in Lin Fan's hand had already been stabbed fiercely into his thigh.

The key, which wasn't very long to begin with, was completely inserted into Zhang Xiaolin's thigh. Lin Fan even twisted the key in Zhang Xiaolin's thigh like he was trying to unlock something.

Zhang Xiaolin wanted to shout loudly, "It hurts!"
