"What's wrong? Don't tell me you, Jin Shiran, know him too?" the middle-aged man seemed to notice the change in Jin Shiran's expression.
Jin Shiran quickly shook his head with a smile, "No, no, no, I, Jin Shiran, have never met this person. I'm just very curious. This kid looks so young, how could he provoke the Liu family? Isn't that the same as seeking death?"
The middle-aged man took a sip of tea and said playfully, "Who says not? For so many years, no one with eyes has dared to provoke our Liu family."
"But this kid is an exception. He's made me come all the way from Mingzhou to Jiangcheng to resolve this matter. Don't worry, cripple him, and the Liu family won't be stingy with your rewards."
The middle-aged man took out a check from his pocket, which clearly stated five million.
Seeing the amount, Jin Shiran was also shocked. It wouldn't cost this much even to eliminate a person.
"Resolve it quickly, I'll wait for your news," the middle-aged man said, getting up to leave.
"Mr. Liu, please rest assured, I will handle it for you as soon as possible." Jin Shiran stood up to see the middle-aged man off.
After the middle-aged man left, Jin Shiran looked at the photo in his hand again and fell into deep thought.
"Boss, isn't this the person who was in the same private room with you just now?" The man standing beside Jin Shiran also noticed the photo in Jin Shiran's hand.
Jin Shiran nodded, "It seems this kid is not as simple as he appears."
The person in the photo Jin Shiran held was none other than Chen Fan, who had just treated him.
"Investigate this Chen Fan for me, I want his detailed information." Jin Shiran handed the photo to the man beside him.
The man took the photo and then turned to leave the luxurious private room.
Chen Fan drove Da Xiong back to the KTV. Da Xiong wanted Chen Fan to stay for a meal, but Chen Fan saw that it was getting late and directly refused.
The cause of the patient's death had been investigated, and he had been cleared of all suspicion. Luo Yongtang had also called him, and he could return to work tomorrow.
He also planned to tell Qin Shuran about this, she would surely be very happy.
On the way back to the urban village, Chen Fan was also thinking about who was behind this.
At first, he suspected Xiao Ran the most, as Xiao Ran had been present at the scene and intended to ruin his reputation through live streaming.
But later, Chen Fan thought that although Xiao Ran was the vice-dean's son, to produce three million and orchestrate such a scheme just to ruin his reputation, he simply didn't have the capability.
Of course, the person Chen Fan suspected the most now was Liu Qianze.
If anyone had the power to make a dying man keep his mouth shut, and even spend millions to buy a life, it could only be the Liu family.
Thinking of this, a hint of anger flashed in Chen Fan's eyes. To disregard human life for selfish desires was something Chen Fan could not accept.
However, he had no evidence. The arrested man had not told the truth either, saying he was only taking orders from the middle-aged man who was hit and killed. Now, all the clues were almost broken.
Arriving downstairs at the urban village, Chen Fan took a deep breath to calm his emotions.
Checking the time, it was already ten in the evening. Chen Fan hurried upstairs.
Opening the door, Chen Fan found that the lights were off.
Chen Fan frowned slightly, turned on the living room light, and gently opened the bedroom door. In the dark room, Qin Shuran was already lying in bed resting.
Chen Fan was relieved. He quietly got his change of clothes and went into the bathroom, intending to take a shower and rest.
"Splash!"
Chen Fan turned on the shower and began to wash.
However, just as Chen Fan applied shampoo and closed his eyes to wash his hair, the bathroom door was suddenly opened.
The sudden opening of the door startled Chen Fan! He almost fell to the ground.
A figure, still groggy from sleep, walked in, "Sister, why are you back so late?"
Sister?!
This voice? It wasn't Qin Shuran!
Chen Fan's heart skipped a beat. He quickly grabbed a bath towel to cover his lower half with one hand, and wiped the foam from his face with the other. The person who was about to sit on the toilet to pee also noticed that the person in front of her was not Qin Shuran.
For a moment, the space seemed to freeze, the two figures facing each other, both with wide eyes.
"Ah!" A scream that pierced the sky rang out.
"Qin, Qin Minmin?!" Chen Fan also snapped out of his shock.
The woman standing in front of him, screaming, was none other than Qin Shuran's cousin, Qin Minmin!
Qin Minmin's small face immediately turned red. Although Chen Fan had covered the most important parts, the visual impact still made Qin Minmin blush.
But the girl had no intention of turning around. With a shocked expression, she pointed at Chen Fan's abs, and even her scream changed its tone, "Ah~ Wow! Brother-in-law, you have eight-pack abs!"
Hearing this, Chen Fan almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Get out!" Chen Fan shouted.
Qin Minmin then stuck out her tongue and ran out with a red face.
Chen Fan was speechless. This girl had quite a nerve. But when did she arrive? Wasn't she supposed to rush back to finish her work?
He quickly rinsed off the foam, put on his clothes, and then walked out of the bathroom.
Qin Minmin was sitting on the sofa, her small face flushed, and she greeted Chen Fan with a cheerful shout, "Hello, Brother-in-law."
Chen Fan said with a cold face, "When did you get here? And, don't you know to knock before entering the bathroom?"
Qin Minmin said with a wronged expression, "I didn't know it was you. I thought it was my sister who came back."
But then Qin Minmin curiously asked Chen Fan, "Brother-in-law, your physique is simply amazing. It's a shame you're not a model. I'll have to talk to my sister about letting you model for our clothing."
"Don't!" Chen Fan was startled and quickly stopped her.
If Qin Shuran knew that Qin Minmin had come in while he was showering and had seen his eight-pack abs, Qin Shuran would probably tear him apart.
Qin Minmin immediately laughed, "Brother-in-law, you're really afraid of my sister."
"Where is your sister?" Chen Fan, not wanting to continue this topic with Qin Minmin, asked.
"My sister said this afternoon that she was going to the hospital because a doctor was on leave, and she was going to help out. She should be back soon."
"Brother-in-law, I'm asking you, are you interested in being my model? Your physique is really wasted." As a fashion designer, Qin Minmin once again brought the topic back.
"Not interested!" Chen Fan replied curtly.
However, at this moment, Chen Fan's phone suddenly rang. It was Zhao Qianqian from the mental hospital.
As soon as he answered, he heard Zhao Qianqian's somewhat hurried voice, "Doctor Chen, something bad has happened! Doctor Qin has been taken hostage by a mental patient. She's on the rooftop now, threatening to die with her!"
"What?!" Hearing this, Chen Fan was suddenly shocked and stood up from the sofa.
