It was, however, a surprise to the man that Chen Fan’s expression remained unchanged upon hearing Master Hong’s name.
“Master Hong? Is the person you’re referring to named Hong Wu?” Qin Shuran suddenly asked.
“Yes, Master Hong’s real name is Hong Wu,” the man nodded quickly.
He knew that discretion was the better part of valor. He could hear the 'crunch' of bone when Chen Fan had kicked him earlier.
“Call him and have him come over,” Qin Shuran said again.
“Huh?!” The man was stunned.
In Zhuliang County, everyone avoided Master Hong like the plague. Who dared to demand that Master Hong come to them? Let alone have Master Hong personally come to see her.
The old lady standing beside Qin Shuran, upon hearing her words, sized Qin Shuran up and down.
Although Qin Shuran was dressed in ordinary clothes, her demeanor made the old lady frown slightly.
“Don’t you understand what I’m saying?” Qin Shuran questioned.
“I, I understand,” the man nodded frantically, but his mind was filled with confusion. He couldn’t understand why these people weren’t running away and were instead asking Master Hong to come and see them.
However, since they were seeking death, the man naturally wouldn’t stop them. He took out his phone and called Master Hong.
When the call connected, the man briefly explained the situation and mentioned that the other party wanted him to come over personally.
Who was Master Hong? He was the underworld boss of Zhuliang County. There were only a few people in Pingnan City who dared to ask him to come over personally.
He then hung up and led his men towards the old town.
The man put away his phone and looked at Chen Fan nervously, “This, this big brother, Master Hong will be here soon.”
Although the man appeared submissive, his heart was already bursting with joy. He knew that once Master Hong arrived, no matter how capable this man was, it would be useless.
Chen Fan could see through the man’s thoughts at a glance, but he didn’t expose him.
He also knew that since Qin Shuran knew Hong Wu’s name, she must know him. Moreover, with Da Xiong’s reputation, even mentioning Da Xiong’s name would make these people dare not be too presumptuous.
“Xiao Fan,” the old lady called out.
Chen Fan lifted his leg, releasing the man, and looked behind him, “Grandma.”
“Weren’t you doing your internship at the hospital? Why are you back?” the old lady asked with some confusion.
“I’ll tell you after things are resolved.” There were too many people here, and Chen Fan didn’t want to talk about his mother.
The old lady glanced at Qin Shuran beside her, “And who is this?”
“Grandma, my name is Qin Shuran. I’m Chen Fan’s colleague, and also, also…” Qin Shuran stepped forward nervously and introduced herself. As she spoke, a blush appeared on her small face.
Chen Fan took Qin Shuran’s hand and said, “Grandma, this is my girlfriend.”
The old lady’s expression froze. She looked at Qin Shuran in surprise and pulled Chen Fan aside.
“Grandma, what’s wrong?” Chen Fan asked.
“Why did you find another one?”
“Found another one? Grandma, Shuran is my only girlfriend.”
“Then let me ask you, what about Mengyao? Are you still trying to play the field?” the old lady questioned.
Chen Fan felt a headache coming on. He hadn’t told his grandmother about Li Mengyao before, so he had to explain, “Grandma, Li Mengyao and I have already broken up.”
“Broken up? Was it because of this woman?! I knew it. Mengyao came to see me last time and was in a bad mood. You, kid, how old are you to be so fickle?” The old lady’s tone was somewhat stern.
“Grandma, it’s not what you think. Mengyao and I broke up peacefully. We weren’t together with Shuran back then.”
Chen Fan certainly wouldn’t say that Mengyao had betrayed him. He didn’t want to speak ill of others behind their backs.
“Peaceful breakup? Why?”
“We weren’t compatible. You know, your grandson has no money or power, and can’t give her happiness.”
“And now? Can you give her happiness?” The old lady glanced at Qin Shuran.
“Grandma, aren’t I working hard now? Besides, I’ve already bought a house in Jiangcheng.”
The old lady was shocked, “Did you do something illegal?”
As a doctor, she knew that interns didn’t get paid, and often had to spend money themselves. How could he have bought a house in Jiangcheng?
“Grandma, let’s talk about these things tonight, okay? Shuran is here for the first time, you can’t just ignore her, can you? She’ll be your granddaughter-in-law in the future.” Chen Fan said, trying to persuade her.
At this moment, the old lady looked at Qin Shuran again.
Qin Shuran stood there gracefully, looking somewhat shy.
However, the old lady then noticed that the burly men around them had stood up again and was somewhat worried. She said softly, “Xiao Fan, you two should leave. When that person called Master Hong arrives, he definitely won’t let you go.”
“Grandma, don’t worry, nothing will happen. You’ve taken care of me for twenty years, and now it’s my turn to protect you.” Chen Fan smiled calmly and gave his grandmother a reassuring look.
“You kid, you’re so young. In my eyes, you’re still a child.”
Seeing that Chen Fan wasn’t leaving, the old lady had no choice but to approach Qin Shuran again, wanting to learn more about her.
She had also decided that if things couldn’t be resolved, she would sell the store for Chen Fan’s safety.
“Screech!”
Just then, outside the door, the sound of car brakes echoed.
“Brother Lin, it’s Master Hong!” A burly man standing outside the door shouted excitedly into the clinic.
Upon hearing that Master Hong had arrived, the man’s face lit up with excitement. He and the other burly men quickly rushed to the doorway.
As they reached the door, the nervousness that had been on the man’s face had vanished without a trace. Now, the man pointed at Chen Fan with arrogance, “Kid, our Master Hong is here. Let’s see how arrogant you can be! You dare to hit me, I’ll cripple you today!”
“And you, little beauty, tonight, I will properly serve you!”
Qin Shuran’s face darkened, and a flash of anger flickered in Chen Fan’s eyes.
“A bunch of useless trash, can’t even handle a small clinic.” At this moment, a middle-aged man’s voice rang out from outside the door.
Behind the middle-aged man, there were about ten burly men.
When the man heard this, he stepped forward with a wronged expression, “Master Hong, you don’t know, that kid is incredibly strong. None of us are his match. Look, look at your leg, you were almost kicked and broken by that kid just now!”
“We also announced your name, but they didn’t care at all. They even called you by your name and told you to come and see them! Master Hong, we must teach these people a lesson today!”
The man’s embellished words made Hong Wu’s face turn extremely cold.
