Chapter 840 Employees (1)
The boy was shocked to see how luxurious the beast carriage was, but then he quickly gave the location of the loan shark den to the driver.
This was a driver that worked for the Dongfang Family, so naturally he was skilled. As soon as he heard where it was, he had already found the best route and had already started moving the beast carriage.
As they were heading along the way, they finally learned the name of the boy.
This boy was called Xiao Tu and his little sister was called Fei'er.
He didn't introduce himself to Lin Fan or Dongfang Ming, he only introduced himself to Xin'er.
Xin'er was very trusting since that was the personality that she had, so she didn't sense any other intentions other than friendship from Xiao Tu. In a sense, it could even be said that she was turning him down since she saw him as nothing more than a friend.
But Xiao Tu didn't give up as he tried to get closer to Xin'er.
He did things such as trying to sit closer to her, trying to hold her hand, or trying to bring up different conversations with her. If one didn't know better, they would have thought that he wasn't interested in saving his little sister at all.
However, he didn't get far since Lin Fan cut him off each time.
No matter how he attempted to get closer to Xin'er, Lin Fan didn't give him any breathing room at all. He would always take away Xin'er's attention and then turn to Xiao Tu with a smug look.
This smug look filled Xiao Tu with rage, but he couldn't vent it since he knew that he still needed Lin Fan's help to save his little sister.
So the only thing that he could do was try other ways to get Xin'er's attention.
This created an endless cycle of Xiao Tu trying to approach Xin'er only to be blocked by Lin Fan.
It was just a good thing that it didn't take them long to arrive at the location that Xiao Tu gave them.
When they arrived, they found that it didn't look like a loan shark business at all. Rather, this place seemed like a very proper office building.
Even the lobby was very professional and completely opposite of what a normal shark loan or gang office would look like.
Lin Fan couldn't help raising a brow as he asked Xiao Tu, "Are you sure that this is the place?"
Xiao Tu nodded before looking in with an anxious look on his face.
Lin Fan turned to Dongfang Ming who after a moment's pause said, "Alright, alright, let me take a look at this place."
After saying this, Dongfang Ming raised his hand to use his wristwatch and he opened up a few pages that Lin Fan couldn't see clearly. After he flipped through a few of these pages, he finally said, "There's indeed a place of ill repute here, but it's registered as a proper business that is renting the fifth floor."
Lin Fan then asked, "Is there a way to get in there secretly?"
Dongfang Ming gave a shrug and said, "Do you think that I really know everything about this place? This is just a small part of the city that I normally wouldn't even come to, so it's not as if I know if there's a secret entrance to this random building."
Lin Fan nodded without any embarrassment since he already expected this, but it never hurt to ask.
Xiao Tu anxiously said, "What do we do then? Should we just go in and meet them?"
As he said this, he had already started moving towards the entrance of the building, but Lin Fan grabbed him before he could get too far away. 𝗳r𝗲𝙚w𝐞𝚋𝘯𝚘ѵ𝗲l.𝑐om
He anxiously turned back to Lin Fan and asked, "What do you want? Can't you see that this is an urgent situation?"
Lin Fan flicked him on the forehead and said, "What urgent situation? They haven't even moved from their office yet."
Everyone looked at Lin Fan with surprised looks when they heard this.
Lin Fan just gave a shrug and didn't explain how he knew this before he focused his attention on the Brainy's puppets. While they had been talking just now, he had already sent Brainy's puppets in to check the place.
Brainy's puppets had already spread throughout the building and once he knew that they were on the fifth floor, he had the puppets there start monitoring the situation. It didn't take them long to find the little girl that was being held captive, but strangely it wasn't just one little girl.
It was five little girls all being held captive in one room.
After making sure that nothing dangerous was around them, Lin Fan turned back to Xiao Tu and narrowed his eyes to say, "Have you been telling us the truth?"
Everyone was taken aback by this and they turned to look at Xiao Tu who just stood there in a daze. After a few seconds of shock, Xiao Tu asked in a dazed voice, "What, what do you mean?"
Lin Fan didn't answer this question and narrowed his eyes even more as he said, "If you're lying to us, then I don't think there's a reason for us to help you anymore."
Xiao Tu jolted when he heard this and he said, "Didn't you say that a good person would help to the end? Are you afraid of doing that now?"
Lin Fan gave a cold snort and released his aura to suppress Xiao Tu as he said, "A good person doesn't let themselves fall into a trap for no good reason. If you're not willing to tell us the truth, then I see no reason to help you."
With this, he took Xin'er's hand and turned to leave without any hesitation.
Xin'er was about to say something, but seeing the way that Lin Fan looked at her, she just fell silent and followed behind him. But it was clear by the look on her face that she wasn't willing.
There was no need to mention Dongfang Ming since his only task was to follow Lin Fan and help him with what he needed. If Lin Fan wanted to save this kid's little sister, he would follow him. If Lin Fan didn't want to save this kid's little sister, there would be no sweat off his back since he didn't care about this in the first place.
Seeing that Lin Fan really was leaving just like this, Xiao Tu began to panic and he immediately ran forward to grab Lin Fan by the leg as he said, "I really didn't lie about anything! I swear that all I want is your help to save my little sister!"
Lin Fan gave a cold snort and ignored him, but Xin'er couldn't ignore him any longer. She stopped moving and said, "Big brother Lin, what's wrong?"
It was only when Xin'er stopped that Lin Fan also stopped. He completely ignored Xiao Tu who was grabbing his leg and said to Xin'er, "Xin'er, we don't need to help this kind of person that lies to get what they want."
Xiao Tu couldn't help shaking again when he heard this and then he quickly said, "What do you mean by that? When have I ever lied?"
Lin Fan looked down at him with a cold gaze that made Xiao Tu suddenly shrink back when it fell onto him.
Normally he wouldn't even bother with this kind of person since he knew that there was nothing good that would come from associating with them. If it wasn't for the fact that Xiao Tu was also a kid, he would have personally taken care of this person for trying to trick him.
But since Xin'er was also here, he decided that he would turn this into a learning opportunity for Xin'er.
Lin Fan said in a cold voice, "He lied about it just being his little sister being trapped here. There were five girls that were being held captive in the office in total."
After he said this, Xin'er turned to look at Xiao Tu again, but this time her eyes were filled with doubt and confusion.
Xiao Tu heard this and revealed an awkward look.
Lin Fan continued, "For all we know, he could be working with them. Everything from before could have been a trap to pull in innocent girls like you and then kidnap them like they did with the rest of the girls."
Xiao Tu immediately denied this by saying, "I would never do that! I swear that I'm not with them!"
Lin Fan just gave a cold snort in response to this.
Xiao Tu had a very awkward look on his face for a long time, but in the end, he took a deep breath and said, "All five of them are my little sisters. I didn't say anything because I thought that it would scare you away. After all, saving five people is very different from just saving one person."
Lin Fan gave another cold snort in response to this. It was clear that he didn't believe it.
He was about to turn around again and leave, but Xin'er still wouldn't follow him. So he had no choice but to turn to her to explain why they shouldn't trust someone like Xiao Tu, but before he could say anything, she spoke first.
Xin'er looked right into Lin Fan's eyes and said, "Big brother Lin, no matter what, whether he is telling the truth or not, there are still five girls who are being held hostage inside of this building. Can we really just leave them like this?"
Lin Fan was taken aback by Xin'er's words, but he knew that he couldn't deny them.
