An alley by the street in Yun City.

"Junior sister, wake up!"

A young girl dressed as a high school student squatted down, shaking another high school girl, who was sitting on the ground with her head drooping, unconscious.

Under her shaking, the unconscious girl finally woke up, opened her eyes, and called out, "Senior sister."

"What happened? How did someone knock you out? Where's that female officer?" the slightly older girl asked anxiously.

The younger girl said, "I don't know what happened either, yes, I was attacked from behind, I don't know who it was, that female officer…"

She realized something and immediately jumped up, running to the alley's entrance to see. Across the street, Loli's figure was nowhere to be seen.

The younger girl was shocked: "Oh no, I've lost her! What do we do, senior sister?"

The older girl said, "We'll tell senior brother."

Saying this, she took out her phone and quickly dialed a number, informing the young man on the other side of the line about the situation here.

The young man didn't blame them, instead laughing: "It's okay, this is good news, it means our efforts over the past few days weren't in vain, finally there's some movement. I'm tailing Lin Fan; this guy suddenly turned, there must be something strange!"

The older girl said, "So what should we do now?"

The young man said, "Stay where you are and wait for my instructions."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone. At this moment, he was driving a small car, and a hundred meters ahead, a Rolls-Royce was moving, that was Lin Fan's car!

For the past few days, the two Tang Sect girls took turns tailing Loli, while the young man was also busy, tailing Lin Fan. Lin Fan wasn't easy to deal with, so the task of tailing him was carried out by the young man himself.

To avoid being detected by Lin Fan, the young man didn't dare get too close. He frequently changed his disguise and swapped cars to prevent Lin Fan from noticing.

He was confident he'd done well, and there was no way Lin Fan could have detected him.

Suddenly, Lin Fan pulled his car over to the side of the road.

The young man quickly slowed his car, nonchalantly parking to the side.

He saw Lin Fan open the car door, jump out, turn around, and walk straight toward the young man's car.

The young man was stunned, not reacting immediately, like a fool, wondering why Lin Fan was coming toward him. No way, had Lin Fan discovered him? Not only that, but was Lin Fan coming for him?

This left the young man at a loss; should he wait for Lin Fan to come over, or should he nonchalantly drive away? He couldn't decide.

As he hesitated, Lin Fan had already approached within thirty meters of his car, waving at the young man.

The young man smiled bitterly; he had said Lin Fan couldn't possibly discover him, yet there Lin Fan was.

The young man gritted his teeth, opened the car door, jumped out, and shouted at Lin Fan: "Stop, don't come any closer!"

Lin Fan actually stopped, smiled slightly, and said: "You've been tailing me for several days. If I wanted to catch you, you'd already be sewing in jail now."

The young man's expression changed, and sweat appeared on his forehead. Damn, this guy was too capable; he'd never met anyone this formidable. He thought his tracking was quite discreet, but who knew Lin Fan had known for days!

"Since you knew I was tailing you, why did you pretend not to?" the young man asked.

Lin Fan said, "You're tailing me only to find Ye Tianyu, having no leads of your own and hoping to rely on me. Am I correct?"

The young man snorted; even if Lin Fan was right, he would not admit it. He had to save face!

Lin Fan smiled slightly: "It's perfect that our goals align. I'm also looking for Ye Tianyu. Arresting you would be useless to me, but keeping you could be handy. I'm here to propose a partnership."

The young man's heart stirred: "What do you mean?"

Lin Fan said: "That masked woman kidnapped my girlfriend. I'm planning to rescue her now."

The young man said in surprise: "That female officer… So it's like this."

No wonder the younger girl was attacked; her skill was no joke, and an ordinary person couldn't sneak up on her. If it was that masked woman, then no surprise.

"Why did the masked woman kidnap that female officer?" the young man asked, puzzled. He couldn't understand why the masked woman would kidnap Loli.

Lin Fan said: "Help me rescue my girlfriend, and I'll tell you."

The young man sneered: "Why should I help you? What's in it for me?"

Lin Fan said: "If you're unwilling to help me, I'll subdue you right now, throw you in my car trunk, then disable your martial arts and toss you in jail. You know I can easily do that."

The young man felt a sense of doom, damn, it was an open threat from Lin Fan, but unfortunately, Lin Fan could indeed do that.

The young man snorted and said: "What do you want me to do?"

A minute later…

The young man got back in his car, closed the door, started the car, and drove forward, quickly passing by Lin Fan's Rolls Royce.

Lin Fan then returned to his car and continued toward Phoenix Road.

Phoenix Road 30, as expected, was a cosmetics brand store, with parking available at the entrance. Clearly, this was all pre-planned by the masked woman.

Lin Fan parked the car in the parking space.

This road was a main thoroughfare, with cars flowing continuously.

After parking, Lin Fan sat in the driver's seat, quietly waiting.

He waited for almost ten minutes.

Ring ring ring…

Lin Fan's phone rang, an unfamiliar number calling in.

Lin Fan answered.

"Don't hang up. Get out of the car now." the masked woman's voice came from the other side of the call.

Lin Fan opened the car door and got out, casually closing the door, holding the phone to his ear: "Where are you?"

The masked woman said: "Look across."

Lin Fan turned his head to look across the street and saw a masked woman emerging from the shadows opposite, looking at him face-to-face, also holding a phone.

It was none other than the masked woman!

Lin Fan stared at the masked woman and said with a sneer: "What do you want now? Where's my girlfriend?"

The masked woman said: "I can only tell you, she's not dead yet. But if you don't do as I say, who knows."

Lin Fan said: "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

The masked woman coldly said: "You know what I want. The 1 billion from Ye Tianyu was moved by you, right? I'll give you an hour to transfer the 1 billion back to that account."

Lin Fan said: "And then?"

The masked woman said: "Once I ensure the safety of the money, I'll call you again to let you pick up your girlfriend."

Lin Fan said: "How do I know you'll keep your word?" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

The masked woman said: "Do you have a choice?"

Just then, the masked woman suddenly let out a muffled grunt, stumbled, and fell to the ground, her phone dropping by her side. Behind her stood the young man.

Lin Fan put down his phone and smiled slightly: "I do have a choice."
