Top-tier Unruly Master

Ding Fan put away the cauldron, then he and Lin Yanxi arrived at a bar.

Ding Fan and Lin Yanxi chose a private room. Lin Yanxi ordered some beer. After the drinks were served, Lin Yanxi did not continue talking; she grabbed a bottle of beer and began to drink it with big gulps.

Ding Fan did not stop her but just sat to one side.

Lin Yanxi thus drained a bottle. At that moment, her eyes were somewhat swollen, and her originally pale face gained some color under the influence of alcohol.

Lin Yanxi reached for another bottle. This time Ding Fan stopped her.

"Whatever unhappy things you have, just talk about them." Ding Fan said in an even tone, which seemed to contain a certain rhythm.

Lin Yanxi looked at Ding Fan somewhat involuntarily. After her mouth twitched for a moment, she then put down the bottle and began to speak.

"Huang Jian was my senior in college. At that time, he was a very outstanding guy. Because of his talent, he had many admirers in college, yet at that time, he took a liking to me...

Because during our college days, Huang Jian's family was very poor, so for a very long time, I used my own money to support him. In my eyes, money can't measure love. I just wanted to help him..."

Ding Fan did not interrupt Lin Yanxi; he just sat there quietly listening. It was beneficial for Lin Yanxi's illness to let her speak out all the words buried in her heart.

Lin Yanxi continued. "After graduation, Huang Jian said he wanted a beautiful future with me. He said he was going to make a big deal, and after it was over, he could use the money he made to marry me in style... In reality, I didn't care how much money he had; I only cared about how much he loved me.

I don't know how much Huang Jian made from that deal, but I knew he was successful. Since then, though, I felt he changed a bit. I didn't take it to heart, and things continued that way until our wedding day when I felt I was the most beautiful bride in the world. I felt so incredibly happy..."

At this point, although Lin Yanxi's mouth had a smile, tears were already streaming down her face. "But what I never expected was that Huang Jian would flee the wedding..."

A wedding is a woman's dream, and to run away on that day is to destroy a woman. Seeing the tears on Lin Yanxi's face, Ding Fan knew that she still had not recovered from that sorrow.

Lin Yanxi took a sip of her beer. "These past few years, I've heard that the reason Huang Jian ran away was because he lost a lot of money on that deal. When he was at a dead end, Huang Jian turned to Singapore's Zhu Qingyun for help... Later, upon hearing that Zhu Qingyun had only one daughter, he began to pursue Zhu Qingyun's daughter crazily..."

Upon hearing this, Ding Fan had already guessed the gist of the matter. It seemed that Huang Jian's main motive for fleeing the wedding was his obsession with the inheritance of Singapore's wealthiest man. He must have been dreaming of becoming the tycoon himself...

Lin Yanxi's gaze was a bit lost now, and even though she hadn't drunk much, in her exhausted state, a single bottle could probably make her drunk.

"Then why did he come to find you after he came back?" Ding Fan prodded.

Lin Yanxi faced him with a pale smile—one full of speechlessness and self-mockery. "Why find me? You might not believe it if I told you... Haha..."

Seeing Lin Yanxi's smile, Ding Fan couldn't help feeling pained for her. However, he did not interrupt, just quietly listening.

Lin Yanxi took a big gulp of her drink. "He asked me to be his secret lover... Haha, in other words, a mistress... He actually asked me to be his mistress!"

Ding Fan's brow furrowed deeply.

This Huang Jian was truly disgusting to the core. Back then, you clung to wealth and in pursuit of the title of Singapore's richest man, you abandoned Lin Yanxi and ran to Zhu Zifang.

And now, having returned, not only do you have no sense of shame, but you even took the initiative to seek out Lin Yanxi to be your secret lover; such a person is more than disgusting, they deserve to be cut a thousand times!

Lin Yanxi was drunk now, leaning on the table with tears on her face, she appeared pitifully asleep...

Just now, Lin Yanxi had spoken all the words repressed in her heart, which was of great help to her illness. The reason he did not stop Lin Yanxi from drinking was that after drinking, her guard would be down, and then Ding Fan hypnotized Lin Yanxi, taking advantage of the situation to let her speak out the words sealed in the depths of her heart.

Ding Fan gently picked up Lin Yanxi. Although her car was nearby, Ding Fan did not intend to drive it. Finding a taxi nearby, he brought Lin Yanxi home.

When they arrived back at the villa, only Sister Wang, who was in charge of caring for Lin Zhanting, was there. Ding Fan learned that Lin Qingqing had taken Lin Zhanting to the hospital for a follow-up examination today.

Ding Fan carried Lin Yanxi back to her own room.

At that moment, Lin Yanxi's phone rang with several brief tones.

Ding Fan had been reborn on Earth for some time now, and he knew this indicated an incoming text message. He had no desire to read the message, but on the phone's screen, the name of Huang Jian appeared.

Ding Fan pondered for a moment, then he opened the message.

'Yan Xi, I have something important to tell you, please come to the Island Coffee Shop tomorrow...'

Ding Fan frowned. Even now, hadn't Huang Jian considered letting Lin Yanxi off the hook? Was Huang Jian so certain that Lin Yanxi would willingly be his mistress?

Such a person deserved to die! A hint of barely perceptible murderous intent flickered across Ding Fan's face.

...

With utmost respect and carefulness, Huang Jian escorted Zhu Zifang back to their villa in Honggang City.

Thanks to having won Zhu Zifang's heart, and with the help of the Zhu Family, Huang Jian rose to prominence overnight in Honggang City within less than a year, becoming a new favorite in the business world.

Yet, even though Huang Jian now seemed confident and successful, there was still dissatisfaction in his heart.

That dissatisfaction was his private life.

Day after day, facing Zhu Zifang, who looked as much like a man as a woman, it was hard for Huang Jian to imagine marrying a woman except when they were having sex.

Now at the height of his youth and success, Huang Jian had a 'man' in his back house, which was an immense torment for him.

However, upon hearing that Lin Yanxi had fled her wedding for his sake years ago and had fallen ill for a long time, he began to get ideas.

In college, whenever he cried poor and mentioned what he wanted, it usually took no more than three days for Lin Yan Xi to buy it for him. In Huang Jian's eyes, Lin Yanxi had always been a foolish woman.

Therefore, this time, Huang Jian felt certain that if he proposed Lin Yanxi become his mistress, she would surely comply without conditions.

However, contrary to his expectations, upon hearing his proposition, Lin Yanxi did not utter a word and left with a flick of her sleeve.

Huang Jian was still not discouraged; he believed that Lin Yanxi would be his sooner or later; it was just a matter of time before the situation ripened.

But while Huang Jian was plotting to get Lin Yanxi, Zhu Zifang unexpectedly noticed it. Having no choice, Huang Jian had to claim that it was Lin Yanxi who seduced him. Fortunately for him, Lin Yanxi had previously been ill for him, so Zhu Zifang didn't suspect a thing.

After sending Zhu Zifang back to the villa, Huang Jian claimed he had to attend to company matters and left.

After getting in his car, Huang Jian immediately made a call.

'Is this Brother Ghost of the Hong Gang?' As soon as the call was connected, Huang Jian greeted warmly.

'Huang Jian, the guy you mentioned, I looked into him. He has just saved Lin Zhanting of the Lin Family. If we mess with him now, do you think the Lin Family will let us off the hook?'

Huang Jian said, 'Brother Ghost, why don't we just find a gunman. We don't need to kill him. Why wouldn't crippling his legs do the trick? Brother Ghost, I'm offering a hefty sum. Think about it...'

'Your offer isn't enough. If you want me to touch that person, it'll cost at least one million.'

Huang Jian frowned slightly. 'Brother Ghost, we're only after the guy's legs. Isn't one million a bit much?'

'This is the price if Hong Gang is to do it. If you find it unreasonable, go find someone else.'

Huang Jian pondered for a moment before finally nodding. 'Alright, Brother Ghost, we'll do it your way. But I have an additional condition: aside from the guy's legs, I also want his third leg crippled.'

'Fine... Same rules apply, you pay the deposit first.'

'I'll bring the deposit to you in a bit,' said Huang Jian, hanging up the phone immediately after.

'Ding Fan, huh,' Huang Jian's lips curled into an evil smile. 'Dare to compete with me for a woman, I'm sorry but you're going down!'

In Huang Jian's view, the reason Lin Yanxi had not returned to his side was all because of Ding Fan. If Ding Fan hadn't interfered, Lin Yanxi would have thrown herself into his arms without any hesitation.

Thinking of the scene today, when Lin Yanxi fainted and was caught by Ding Fan, Huang Jian felt a surge of dark hatred. As a man, he knew it was a golden opportunity—the moments when a woman faints or is drunk are a man's best chances. Huang Jian even imagined that Ding Fan had already lured Lin Yanxi to bed...

To win the beauty, all obstacles must be swept away. In light of that, one million to ruin a man didn't seem pricey at all.

With this thought, Huang Jian felt a bit more at ease...
