Ye Aotian looked at the latest information from his subordinates and fell into deep thought. Who wouldâve thought that such a small hospital could hide so many hidden talents? This womanâs identity couldnât even be traced.
As expected, his master was rightâChina was where the true hidden dragons and crouching tigers were found. For the first time, Ye Aotian began to doubt his martial arts training.
Ye Aotian had always trained under his master, who kept telling him that true martial arts were rooted in ancient techniques, but Ye Aotian had always thought it was pure fantasy. However, the five people he encountered in Qincheng made him question his beliefs.
Though these five lacked a systematic approach to killing techniques, their skills and strength were far from ordinary. They were incredibly strong.
Returning to Qincheng had two purposes: revenge and learning from his masterâs friends, who could teach him other things.
After some investigation, he had already located their residences.
He needed to get stronger, and Chen Fanâhe was becoming more and more of an eyesore.
At that moment, Chen Fan, who had just finished dinner and was watching TV, sneezed.
After getting ready and snuggling under the blanket, around 10 p.m., Chen Fan quietly drifted off to sleep.
He wondered when Ye Aotian would finally learn martial arts.
There were indeed powerful people in Qincheng, and these individuals would become key to Ye Aotianâs growth. Even Ling Yuyan would teach him many things.
Still, who knew when the drama between the two of them would begin? Basically, as long as they made contact, Chen Fan would have an opportunity to get involved in the situation. Later, he could even kidnap Ling Yuyan and mess with Ye Aotian. Just thinking about it made him a little excited.
Though he had done this numerous times, Chen Fan always got unusually excited before a kidnapping.
At that moment, a noise from the window caught Chen Fanâs attention.
It was raining outside, but the sound was distinctâit wasnât the sound of raindrops.
Chen Fan looked over and saw a strange figure wearing a mask. He immediately closed his eyes.
In his memory, she was a thief who robbed the rich to help the poor, but he hadnât heard of her targeting his home. However, on second thought, he realized that things between him and Ye Aotian hadnât escalated to life-and-death matters yet. She was probably just stopping by to steal a few things.
Ling Yuyan entered the room and, seeing the sleeping Chen Fan, took out a scalpel and measured it against his neck.
Chen Fan was confident.
Ling Yuyan double-checked the situation and, not feeling entirely at ease, lit a candle beside Chen Fan.
Chen Fan recognized it. This candle had a calming effect, helping people sleep soundly once they inhaled its scent. It was one of the professional tools she had crafted herself.
However, Chen Fan thought that if she sold this to insomniacs, she could make a lot more money than by stealing. Too bad she didnât have the brains for that.
Ling Yuyan began rummaging around the room. From the bookshelf to the wardrobe.
âNot bad. Your taste is pretty decent; you have quite a lot of nice clothes. This watch, a Richard Mille series? Hm, youâre quite wealthy. Oh, this cake is quite good too.â
Ling Yuyan took a bite of the cake and washed it down with some wine. That made Chen Fanâs heart ache. The cake was something he had lined up for hours to buy. And the wineâit was part of his collection.
He hardly ever drank it himself.
Though this world was a novel and Chen Fan had to play his part, donât forget itâs still a world.
Chen Fan, who valued quality, loved to enjoy life when he wasnât on duty.
This gluttonous woman was truly toxic. Ling Yuyan took a watch, some cash, and glanced at the paintings on the wall. Since she didnât understand them, she decided not to take them.
After finishing up, Ling Yuyan looked at Chen Fan and raised her hand as if to slap him, but then put it down.
Ling Yuyan wanted to say, âThatâll teach you for calling me promiscuous,â but the words got stuck in her throat. This startled her. It was then that she realized there was a rule preventing her from saying anything.
âIâll let you off this time. Donât fall into my hands, or next time, I wonât be so kind when treating you.â
After Ling Yuyan climbed out of the window, Chen Fan silently opened his eyes and got up.
He checked his thingsâgood, the wine was still there, and the cake hadnât been taken. If she had taken those, Chen Fan wouldâve been seriously upset.
As for the watch, it was a gift from someone. Originally, it was meant for Jin Lan, but she didnât want it, so it ended up with Chen Fan.
The watch was actually a fake. But because Chen Fan wore it, no one ever realized.
As for the moneyâeh, not much, about seventy or eighty bucks.
Chen Fan usually didnât carry much cash anyway.
He poured himself a little wine and stood by the window, drawing back the curtains. Chen Fan intended to enjoy the sight of the rainy night.
And thenâChen Fan saw Ling Yuyan, and Ling Yuyan saw Chen Fan.
At that moment, she was crouched by the window, and Chen Fan stood there awkwardly, his shirt open.
Chen Fan wanted to kill this woman. How could she be a thief? Doesnât she know youâre not supposed to hit the same place twice?
Ling Yuyan was just as stunned.
She was utterly dumbfounded.
At that moment, Chen Fan had a stroke of genius and pretended to stare off into the distance, acting as if he hadnât seen Ling Yuyan at all.
Ling Yuyan crawled back into the room and waved a hand in front of Chen Fanâs face.
Chen Fan resisted the urge to blink.
âPhew, just sleepwalking.â
Chen Fan kept standing there, and Ling Yuyan didnât disturb him.
Instead, she turned on Chen Fanâs computer.
