Pick Up a Killer as Girlfriend

Chapter 233: Shocking News


"What the hell are you doing? Coming back without saying a word. You even parked the car on the Pinghai Overpass. The traffic police had to call me."

While Chen Mei'Er asked someone to drive the car back from the traffic police, she also dialed Li San's number.

To be fair, Li San is someone who knows how to repay kindness. Initially, Xiaofan asked Chen Mei'Er to help take care of those two little ones at home. Even though it was Xiaofan who asked, it still troubled Chen Mei'Er. They found a new home, switched to a new hospital, and occasionally bought new clothes and stationery for the little ones.

Even Li San's car was handled by Chen Mei'Er. So, when Li San called her "Auntie," he did so sincerely, without a hint of dissatisfaction.

As a result, to repay Chen Mei'Er's kindness, Li San became a very loyal errand boy for her. Whenever Chen Mei'Er wanted to find Xiaofan, she would call Li San, who would immediately report Xiaofan's whereabouts.

"Hello, Auntie, we're almost at the Cultural Park. Yeah, Xiaofan is right there. Don't worry, your man won't go missing."

"Nonsense, he's not my man, just some guy who randomly leaves his car around. Tell him I've already had the car brought back; if he wants to drive it, he can come to the club to pick it up. Always causing trouble. Hanging up now."

Being called Xiaofan's woman, the originally carefree and reckless Chen Mei'Er couldn't help but feel a bit shy. Her delicate cheeks blushed. Luckily, it was on the phone; if Li San and the others saw it, they would surely laugh at her.

Moreover, Li San certainly wouldn't casually mention the assassination attempt on Xiaofan, as a woman shouldn't be involved in such matters. Telling her would only make her more worried.

Over at the Cultural Park indoor stadium, the martial arts competition was still ongoing.

Xiaofan, having just shown up, dominated the Wu Family patriarch, leading the Ren Family into the final battle tomorrow. However, the other two families' matches had only just begun. To be safe, Old Mrs. Ren had Xiaofan stay and observe quietly, preparing for tomorrow's final competition.

The match between the Hua Family and the Tong Family had some trickery involved.

The competition lasted less than twenty minutes, and their fight lacked any push. A few moves were exchanged before one side admitted defeat.

After swapping opponents four times, the Hua Family continued sending young members to the fight. The result was essentially handing victory to the Tong Family.

No one said a word as they watched the match end, then discussed tomorrow's final challenge among themselves.

Ren Family versus Tong Family...

"Hey, they're coming out."

Outside, Li San, Lei Xiaolei, and Li Kuo had just arrived when those inside the indoor stadium started coming out.

"Xiaofan, Xiaofan, over here..." Li San waved and shouted loudly as soon as he spotted Xiaofan in the crowd.

"Hmm? Why are you guys here?" Xiaofan quickly walked over. Li San and Lei Xiaolei were understandable, but why was Li Kuo here too?

"Xiaofan, those assassins who came looking for trouble have been identified, and the matter is quite serious," Lei Xiaolei said, deliberately lowering his voice.

"Assassins? What assassins? What happened to Xiaofan?" At this moment, Ren Ling suddenly walked over to inquire.

Despite Lei Xiaolei lowering his voice, he underestimated Ren Ling's hearing ability.

"What happened?" With Ren Ling's light exclamation, Old Mrs. Ren and others also walked over slowly.

"Let's go back to the Ren Family before we talk," Xiaofan, knowing he couldn't hide it any longer, signaled his three good friends to go back to the Ren Family together.

It was the first time that Xiaolei and the others had visited the Ren Family. Although Li Kuo was a second-generation rich kid who had seen all sorts of luxurious villas, gardens, and estates, he was still dumbfounded upon seeing the Ren Family's mansion. This wasn't the kind of renovation that money alone could buy.

"These carvings are at least from the Late Qing Dynasty, right? And this wooden sofa, wow, wow, it's amazing..." Li Kuo didn't feel out of place and couldn't stop praising the seemingly simple decor at the Ren Family the moment he arrived.

The typical Huaxia retro decoration was of superior quality. The wooden sofas, in particular, didn't feel hard at all when you sat on them. The carvings featuring patterns, animals, and plants were all crafted by renowned artisans.

"This set of sofas has to be worth two million."

'Gulp.' Hearing the price Li Kuo quoted, Lei Xiaolei gulped. Although he wasn't short on money, he'd never heard of a sofa costing two million. It's not like it's a dragon chair, even a dragon chair wouldn't just be two million.

"Two hundred thirty thousand..." Ren Ling said calmly after serving everyone tea.

"Wow, wow... did you hear that, amazing, right?" As the aroma of the tea wafted up, Li Kuo couldn't help but savor it slowly after taking a sip.

"Alright, alright, let's get to the point." Li San couldn't help but purse his lips. He was a descendent of the Swallows, and such valuable jewels or classical collections he had seen before. But those were national treasures, and he couldn't just steal them as he pleased.

"Xiaofan..." Li Kuo glanced at Xiaofan, unsure if he should speak up about certain things.

"Speak, there are no outsiders here."

The phrase 'no outsiders here' warmed everyone's hearts in the Ren Family, clearly signaling that Xiaofan no longer distanced himself from them.

There was really no need to push them away; he simply understood how to empathize with others. He appreciated Old Mrs. Ren's intentions, and his life was saved by Ren Zhongtian. Moreover, Old Mrs. Ren hadn't asked him to do anything senselessly cruel, and she entrusted him with her granddaughter and integrated over thirty years of Power into him.

"The three assassins who came to your house today have been identified as ordinary hitmen who served in the Golden Triangle. However, the mastermind is the Red Butterfly," Li Kuo said in a calm voice.

"Red Butterfly again?" Over there, upon hearing the name of this organization, Old Mrs. Ren frowned deeply.

Of course, she didn't like this organization. Her husband, although his health hadn't much time left, was unable to extend even his last few months of life due to members of this organization.

Additionally, Mrs. Ren was aware of Ren Zhongtian's long-standing battle with Red Butterfly over the years. However, for them now to have found Xiaofan, the only hope for the Ren Family, was not good news at all.

"I suspected it was them. But why didn't they use their own assassins?" Xiaofan asked with a frown.

"Red Butterfly has issued an assassination order this time," Li Kuo continued in a calm voice.

"What? An assassination order?" Old Mrs. Ren finally lost her composure, standing up in shock: "Xiaofan, quickly tell me how deeply you're involved with Red Butterfly."
