"I didn't want to kill him, I really didn't want to kill him, he forced me to do it, I just wanted to take back what was mine..."

Zhong Huofang cried.

Lin Fan nodded: "I know."

Zhong Huofang said: "I thought with your phone call, he wouldn't dare to do evil again, but he snatched the number away, he even hit my old mother, he forced me."

Lin Fan said: "I know all this, that's why I saved Niu the Sixth, because I didn't want you to lose your life over this, Niu the Sixth isn't worth it. Rest assured, I will find the best lawyer to help you with the case, to minimize your time in prison."

Zhong Huofang said: "You'll help me find a lawyer?"

Loli smiled and said: "Uncle Zhong, do you know who he is?"

Zhong Huofang shook his head: "I don't know, I only know he's a kind-hearted guy, he's been helping me teach the Sixth a lesson."

Loli said: "His name is Lin Fan."

"Lin Fan..." Zhong Huofang showed a surprised expression, "Could he be... is he the richest man in Yun City?"

Loli said: "Yes, that's correct, he is the richest man in Yun City, he has the full capability to help you find the best lawyer."

Upon learning that the young man before him was Lin Fan, the richest man in Yun City, Zhong Huofang finally let down his guard and put down the knife.

The police then went up and handcuffed him.

Zhong Huofang turned back to ask Lin Fan: "Mr. Lin, why was it that when I was escaping, you could catch me, with your skills, I absolutely couldn't have escaped, why didn't you catch me then?"

Lin Fan smiled slightly and said: "Because I hoped you could escape, I hoped you could avoid punishment."

Ah?

Everyone turned to Lin Fan with a mixture of surprise.

Lin Fan said: "Because I think you shouldn't have suffered such an encounter, it's unfair to you, so I didn't catch you, that was my personal wish."

Zhong Huofang said: "Then why have you come to find me now?"

Lin Fan said: "Because now I can't entirely follow my personal wishes, out of personal will, I didn't catch you at the time, that was me expressing my attitude. But ultimately, you broke the law, and regardless of the reason, you must face legal consequences, if I don't catch you, the police will, and if they do, you'd end up in a standoff just now, and you might get hurt. So, no matter the purpose, I just want to help you, to do what I can."

Lin Fan had a clear conscience, he did everything he could, he tried his best.

Originally, he isn't a policeman, nor a doctor, he could have simply not cared the entire time.

But just as the classic Spider-Man line goes, with great power comes great responsibility. Spider-Man isn't a cop either, but he has the ability, so he strikes against criminals, helps others.

If he hadn't encountered this, it would have been none of his business, but since Lin Fan did, it was just a small effort.

Indeed, aside from wasting some time, it was merely a small effort.

If Lin Fan hadn't intervened in this matter, it could have been a tragedy.

Niu the Sixth had been bullying Zhong Huofang constantly, Zhong Huofang's retaliation was a matter of sooner or later, even a rabbit will bite when cornered, then the progression of this event would be Zhong Huofang killing Niu the Sixth, Zhong Huofang fleeing, and ultimately he'd be caught, facing a death sentence.

Zhong Huofang was taken away.

Lin Fan turned back to Loli and said: "This matter is considered settled, I need to return to the Company, if there's anything requiring me to testify, let me know."

Loli nodded: "Thanks to you this time, this place is so big, if we had to search ourselves, it would take three to five days, and we wouldn't even know how things would develop."

Lin Fan smiled and said: "I could have caught him on the spot, forgive my slight recklessness, it was just to express my attitude, catching him myself is also my obligation."

Loli chuckled: "After understanding the whole story, actually I share your thoughts, but I'm a policeman, I can't be as reckless as you."

Lin Fan smiled: "Let's not talk about it anymore, let's go."

Loli made a sound of agreement, and walked out of the mountain with Lin Fan.

Returned outside.

"Lin Fan, are you free tonight? If I get off work early, let's have dinner together," Loli said.

Lin Fan said: "Should be free, mainly depends on you."

Loli was happy, then broke away from Lin Fan and transported Zhong Huofang back to the police station.

Lin Fan also got into the Rolls-Royce and returned to the company.

By this time, it was already afternoon.

Due to Zhong Huofang's matter, Lin Fan spent the whole morning, fortunately, there was nothing at the company today, so there was no impact.

However, as soon as Lin Fan returned to the company, Zhao Jiayi came over to tell Lin Fan some news.

"Chairman, something has happened!" Zhao Jiayi said urgently.

Lin Fan said: "Come to my office to talk, what's happened?"

Entered Lin Fan's office.

Zhao Jiayi said: "Since Mr. Chen's contract has already been drafted, I called him to invite him to the company, but Mr. Chen said he won't be coming anymore."

The Mr. Chen she referred to was Chen Shihong.

Yesterday Mortal Group had made an announcement, that it would invite one of the world's top ten architects, Chen Shihong, to be the designer of the Mortal Headquarters Mansion.

Chen Shihong was also very satisfied with this, in fact, he himself was eager to secure this project because it was lucrative, and if he could complete it, his standing in the industry would grow even higher.

Now, Chen Shihong says he won't come anymore, what does this mean?

Zhao Jiayi was a bit flustered, she wanted to tell Lin Fan this matter as soon as possible.

Lin Fan laughed: "Really, he said he won't come anymore? Did he say why?"

Zhao Jiayi didn't know why the chairman was laughing, and seemed so calm, said: "I asked him, but he refused to say, and just hung up on me."

Lin Fan uttered an oh and said: "No problem, we should know soon."

Zhao Jiayi said: "Chairman, you seem to have anticipated he wouldn't come?"

Lin Fan was just about to speak when Wei Yue'er knocked and came in, saying: "Chairman, I think you should come out and see this."

Lin Fan and Zhao Jiayi exchanged a look, then followed her out.

In the office, the TV was on, and Mortal Group's employees were watching.

The TV showed a news conference, where Wei Tiansheng and Chen Shihong appeared together in the same frame.

Is this Wangu Group's news conference?

Wei Tiansheng announced at the conference: "I'm pleased to hold today's news conference and tell everyone that we at Wangu Group officially appoint Mr. Chen Shihong as the architectural designer for our Yun City branch mansion!"

Ah? 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Upon hearing this news, Mortal's executives and employees were dumbfounded.

Wangu Group hired Chen Shihong?

Wasn't Chen Shihong supposed to be hired by Mortal Group? It was agreed just yesterday and announced publicly, how was it intercepted by Wangu Group?

Chen Shihong then said: "I'm pleased to accept Wei Tiansheng's invitation. Meanwhile, I'd like to warn Mortal Group, as I've shown them my architectural model, now I won't cooperate with Mortal anymore, I hope Mortal Group won't plagiarize my ideas, or I will use legal means to protect my interests!"
