Chapter 879 - 852: Charles Fen

"Ah, yes, what is it?" Zhang Xiaofen? That’s quite a girly name.

"Hold on a moment!" The teacher handed the microphone to Zhang Xiaofen.

"It’s me. Tomorrow is a two-day break. Can you pick me up later?"

"Hmm, no problem."

Zhang Xiaofen returned the phone to the teacher and found a place to sit down and eat. "Xiaofen, is your big brother coming later?"

"Yes, he is!" Zhang Xiaofen was a very obedient child. Despite being a bit peculiar, preferring not to talk, and having a solitary nature that didn’t like playing with other children, she was still a likable child. In this kind of private kindergarten, well-behaved and sensible children were especially cherished by the teachers because they were easy to manage and less worrisome.

Xiao Lin appeared at the entrance of Dingdang Kindergarten at 3 PM sharp, driving his QQ car. Perhaps it was because of his outstanding appearance that left a deep impression. Upon hearing someone had come to pick up Zhang Xiaofen, the principal hurried out. Initially, there was concern and doubt, but upon seeing Xiao Lin, all of it vanished.

"It’s you. So the brother Xiaofen mentioned was you. We were worried for quite a while."

"I hope you’re well, Principal." Xiao Lin smiled.

"Thank you for allocating funds to improve our kindergarten. Xiaofen is lucky to have a brother like you."

"No need to worry, Principal. It’s something I should do, providing the child with a quality living environment."

"Xiaofen, come quickly." The principal waved to Zhang Xiaofen who was standing on the steps. "Please take care of her over the two-day break."

"Hmm, if nothing special comes up, I’ll bring her back on time."

Zhang Xiaofen showed no intention of saying goodbye to the women behind her; she directly got into Xiao Lin’s car. "Shouldn’t you say goodbye to those women before you leave? They seem to like you quite a bit," Xiao Lin asked Zhang Xiaofen from the car.

In the car, Zhang Xiaofen waved to the women standing at the entrance, and only then did Xiao Lin start the car and drive away on a winding road. However, they didn’t drive out of the northern district but instead stopped by the roadside after turning a few corners.

"Charles Fen! Can you tell me now why you wanted me to bring you out, or do you want to go with me to the city center?" Xiao Lin lit a cigarette and smoked silently.

"Aren’t you looking for that woman named Zhang Qian?"

"Ah!" This name seemed to have vanished from his mind a long time ago, and whether she existed now was irrelevant. With Yao Zheng’s death, the curtain had fallen on the northern district, and the others left out there would be swiftly settled. With the downfall of the Horse Gang, the rest became easier.

"She’s dead!"

"Ah!" This was quite unexpected. "To which side did Zhang Qian belong? Yao Zheng, the Horse Gang, or Fourth Lord?"

"Fourth Lord!"

"So, you’re looking for Fourth Lord? Unfortunately, I’m also looking for this person. But how did you know Zhang Qian is dead?"

"The newspaper, the woman who died beside Master Ma was Zhang Qian."

"What?" Xiao Lin exclaimed, staring wide-eyed at Charles. "That woman wasn’t Ye Zi? I’ve met Zhang Qian, and they are not the same person."

"The Zhang Qian I know is this woman."

"Does she have a distinctive scent?"

"No, she doesn’t. The Zhang Qian I know is this woman. Why do you all call her Ye Zi?"

"Ah, haha!" Xiao Lin suddenly burst into laughter. He had been so close to Fourth Lord once, no wonder her poisoning had been silent and untraceable. It turned out that person was Fourth Lord. Flame Swallow knew how to make human skins; why hadn’t he considered that Fourth Lord could do the same? In ancient China, there was a magical technique called the Disguise Technique, and nowadays there’s a makeup special effect that’s similar. "Do you know how to find Fourth Lord?"

"She is my target!"

"Where do you plan to find this person?"

"I didn’t plan to go find her with you. I just needed you to get me out, and that’s enough."

"Hey, Charles, I still have to bring you back."

"I have no plans to return!"

"Ah, ready to die?" Xiao Lin turned to face Charles, sitting next to him, who looked no different from a child. "This isn’t Italy. How are you going to find her?"

"I have my own ways." With that, he had already jumped out of the car and disappeared into the crowd.

Suddenly, a blue business vehicle appeared alongside and drove forward. Xiao Lin followed and caught up with it at the highway entrance. Xiao Lin stopped his car, waiting for the person to get out of the vehicle in front.

"Mr. Xiao! We’ve already contacted the other party, and the transaction is tonight."

Xiao Lin remembered this serious-looking man, though it seemed the man didn’t recognize him. "Thank you. When can I meet your leader?"

"I’m sorry, Mr. Xiao, we don’t have any special ties with you. This matter is connected by interest, and once it ends, there’s no need to meet again."

"Understood. I will persuade Dan Qing to return with you."

"Thank you, Mr. Xiao. We will be waiting for you here at ten tonight."

"Wait a minute!" Xiao Lin called out to the man. "Why did you kill Dan Qing’s husband on the way back then?"

"That is our internal affair. Although we greatly appreciate you for saving our Family Head, it’s better not to meddle in certain matters."

"I cannot guarantee that Dan Qing will leave with you; she has no memory of you, and besides, she also has a daughter."

"We understand her situation very well. Moreover, this is the information on the robbers from the previous attack on the district government. It’s a token of appreciation for Mr. Xiao. Until Mr. Xiao has completely finished handling his matters, we will provide any assistance."

Xiao Lin opened the file bag. After just a glance, he completely gave up. His expressionless face seemed to be holding something back or restraining himself. The slight trace on the white paper pointed directly at individuals who were so familiar.

On the highway, a silver QQ car sped forth, overtaking car after car, leaving them far behind, heading forward heedlessly. It wasn’t until his destination appeared before him that he finally slammed on the brakes. The energy-efficient vehicle responded immediately. Despite having a good frame, the car came to a stop after spinning 360° in place. Xiao Lin tightly gripped the steering wheel, his eyes fixed on the towering building, calming down instantly.

Four people got into a white van, creating an oppressive atmosphere in the nighttime space. The last person to get in sat in the passenger seat, and the vehicle began its bumpy journey. Through the painted windows, the outside scenery couldn’t be seen, leaving them to judge their position and direction by how things appeared outside. (To be continued.
